General Presentation of the consolidated financial statements The consolidated financial statements of the Implenia Group are prepared in accordance with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) as defined by the International Accounting Standard Board (IASB). The comparative information on the income statement and associated notes for the 2006 financial year includes for the period from 1 January to 2 March 2006 only the activities of the former Zschokke Group. The merger of Zschokke and Batigroup to form Implenia is recognized from 3 March 2006. Changes in accounting policies The following new standards, amendments to standards and IFRS interpretations have been considered for the preparation of the 2007 Financial Report: – IFRS 7 Financial instruments: From this report onwards, the new disclosure rules require disclosure of additional information on financial instruments that could materially affect the company's financial and income position. This information is qualitative as well as quantitative. Accounting policies relating to risk management for financial instruments have been adjusted accordingly. – IFRIC 7 Applying the restatement approach under IAS 29 – Financial Reporting in hyperinflationary economies. – IFRIC 8 Scope of IFRS 2. – IFRIC 9 Reassessment of embedded derivatives. – IFIRC 10 Interim financial reporting and impairment losses. – Amendment to IAS 1 – Presentation of financial statements. The impact of these changes is not significant for the consolidated accounts and/or is limited to additional disclosure, particularly with regard to IFRS 7. As part of the accounting policies, the breakdown into segments has been adjusted according to the reassignment of activities to the different sectors. The new segments are described below under “Segment information”.
Accounting Policies
Turnover from real estate transactions now includes the revenue from the relevant period, rather than, as previously, just the net income from the properties sold. The costs of the properties sold are shown on sale under expenses as a decrease in inventory; valuation adjustments on properties within the portfolio are also shown under expenses. The content of other accounting policies has not been changed. However, the form of some policies has been adapted and, if appropriate, additional disclosure has been added to facilitate understanding. Standards, interpretations and amendments to standards published (but not yet mandatory) The following standards, amendments and interpretations have already been adopted by IASB, although their application will become mandatory only for the years starting after 1 January 2007. (Implenia decided not to adopt those requirements early.) – IFRS 8 Operating Segments: (for years starting from 1 January 2009). IFRS 8 replaces IAS 14 Segment Reporting. The definitions of operating segments and the reporting are based on the information used by the operating management. The application of IFRS 8 will influence the reporting by segments, but will have no impact on the consolidated result. – IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements – revised. The revised version of IAS 1 should make it easier for the reader to analyse and compare the information given in financial reports. The main changes are that in future companies will have to prepare a more comprehensive “Statement of financial position” (formerly “Balance sheet”) and a more comprehensive “Statement of income” (formerly “Income statement”). The new “Statement of income” should also include the items that are currently booked directly through equity (e.g. exchange rate differences). In addition, the tax implications of each item are to be shown. The new “Statement of financial position” can be shown as a single global statement with appropriate interim results, or as two separate statements – an income statement followed by a “Statement of financial position”.
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Implenia Group Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
– IAS 23 – Borrowing Costs – Amendment – Change of treatment of borrowing costs concerning the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset (that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale). Borrowing costs related to qualifying assets will have to be capitalised (for financial years beginning on or after 1 January 2009). – IFRIC 11, Group and Treasury Share Transactions according to IFRS 2 (for years starting from 1 March 2007). – IFRIC 12, Service Concession Arrangements (for years starting from 1 January 2008). – IFRIC 13, Customer loyalty programmes (for years starting from 1 January 2008). – IFRIC 14, IAS 19, The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction (for years starting from 1 January 2008). – IFRS 3 – Business combinations – revised standard (for financial years beginning on or after 1 July 2009). – IAS 27 – consolidated financial statements and accounting for investments in subsidiaries – revised standard (for financial years beginning on or after 1 July 2009). The management has examined these new standards and interpretations and has reached the conclusion that the effects on the consolidated accounts are not material (except IFRS 3 in the case of a new acquisition), and that they are limited to additional disclosures or disclosures in another form.
Basis of consolidation The parent company of the group (Holding) is Implenia Ltd, with registered office in Dietlikon, Switzerland. The consolidated accounts are presented in thousands of Swiss francs, unless indicated otherwise. In principle, it owns directly the main subsidiaries of the Group that come within the consolidation. The details of the shareholdings held directly or indirectly by Implenia Ltd are given on pages 52 and 53 of the present annex. Valuation is based on historical cost, with the exception of certain items for which the valuation methods are described below.
Subsidiaries Subsidiaries are companies in which Implenia exercises control over the financial and commercial policies. This is generally the case if Implenia holds, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the capital or the majority of the voting rights. To determine whether control exists, the existence and impact of potential existing or convertible voting rights is considered. The accounts of these companies are prepared using consistent accounting policies as those of the group and in conformity with IFRS. The year end of subsidiaries is the same as of the parent company. All intra-group balances, transactions, income and expenses and profits and losses resulting from intragroup transactions that are recognised in assets and that have not yet been realised in relation to third parties (for example: inventory movements), are eliminated in full. Intra-group transactions are done at market prices. New subsidiaries are consolidated from the date of their acquisition, which corresponds to the date of taking control, using the Purchase Method of accounting, as defined by the standard IFRS 3. A company is excluded from the consolidation on the date when control ceases. Transactions with minority interest holders Transactions with minority interest holders are treated similarly to transactions with third parties. Sales of minority shares generate a profit or a loss in the consolidated accounts. Purchases of minority shares generate goodwill amounting to the difference between the purchase price and the corresponding net asset value of the affiliated company. Associated Companies Associated companies are companies in which Implenia exercises a considerable influence, but not control. In principle, they are companies in which the Group holds between 20 and 50% of the capital. These entities are accounted for using the Equity Method. In the balance sheet, they are separately disclosed. The reference date for the Equity Method calculation is, in principle, the same as the year end date of the parent company. However, if some of the accounts are not available at this time, the valuation is performed on the basis of the last available financial
9
10
statements, taking into consideration any changes noted since then. Associated companies are included in the consolidation using accounting and valuation policies similar to those of the group. The share of the Group in the result of associated companies is accounted for separately in the consolidated income statement. The share in losses is limited to the value of the shareholding, in so far as the Group is not committed to any liability beyond that value. Work partnerships (consortia) These are activities carried on jointly by two or more partners and are performed, in general, in the legal form of a partnership. The partners share control and share the running, resources and know-how with the aim of performing a given activity in the context of one or more contracts. The partners must make available human and material resources that are invoiced directly to the work partnership. The results achieved for works executed jointly are distributed on the basis of contractual agreements and are recorded in the context of these activities. Certain work partnerships have their own assets, acquired or contributed for the execution of the planned activity. The share of the group in these net assets is presented as credit and debit balances in relation to the work partnership. The composition of the net assets of the work partnerships is presented in the notes. Minority holdings The minority holdings in which Implenia does not exercise predominant control, in general shareholdings not exceeding 20%, are classified as “available for sale” and are reported in the balance sheet at their fair value, in accordance with IAS 39. Changes in the fair value are recorded in equity. These unrealised profits and losses recorded in equity are transferred to the income statement on sale of the shareholdings. The losses previously recorded in equity are also transferred to the income statement whenever a significant and lasting impairment in the value of the shareholdings is noted.
Estimates and assumptions The preparation of the Group financial statements according to IFRS standards requires that a number of assumptions be formulated concerning the future, which entails a certain number of judgements and estimates that directly impact the values disclosed in the balance sheet and the income statement. These assumptions, judgements and estimates are based on experience and on factors considered relevant in the given conditions. Assumptions are subject to permanent review. Changes made in the estimates used are accounted for directly in the year when the estimate is reviewed. The categories that are especially based on assumptions and estimates and for which such estimates may generate significant adjustments to the book values during the following year are detailed below. Turnover of Works in progress and Work partnerships: the valuation of works in progress and work partnerships, and therefore also the determination of their turnover, which is done according to the “percentage-of-completion” (PoC) method, is based on estimates and assumptions on the income, costs and final margins of the projects in progress, as well as the income, costs and margins already realised at the balance sheet date. Goodwill: this asset is subject to an annual impairment test. Such a test requires the estimation of future cash flows, as well as the discount rate. Tangible fixed assets: depreciation is based on estimates of the useful life of the tangible fixed assets. Deferred tax assets: the valuation is based on estimates of future profits. Current taxes: current taxes for the period are calculated on the basis of declarations by Group companies. On the date the accounts were closed, a large number of these declarations had not yet been finally accepted by the different fiscal administrations. Any corrections made by the fiscal administrations may entail adjustments to tax charges for the preceding periods.
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Implenia Group Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Judgements in the application of accounting and valuation methods Some judgements are required notably in the following cases: – Securities can be classified in various categories; – In the context of the valuation of provisions for benefit plan commitments, actuarial gains and losses can be accounted for differently; – Assets that the Group considers selling must be examined to ascertain whether realisation is possible and highly probable. If these conditions are met, these assets must be reported as “held for sale” and valued accordingly. The decisions taken by Implenia in the cases that actually arose are disclosed in the comments on the accounting and valuation policies. Foreign currency translation The consolidated financial statements are presented in Swiss francs, the local and operating currency of Implenia Ltd and of most of the affiliated companies. Transactions and balances in foreign currencies Transactions in foreign currencies are converted into the operating currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the day of the transaction. Financial assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are converted at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. The exchange rate differences resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation of balance sheet items are recognised in the income statement. Translation of the accounts of subsidiaries whose accounting records are maintained in foreign currencies The assets and liabilities of balance sheets prepared in foreign currencies are converted at the rate prevailing on the balance sheet date of the parent company. The income statement is translated at the average exchange rate. The resulting exchange rate differences on the balance sheet and income statement items are posted directly to equity. The exchange rate differences related to the conversion of group loans, being in the nature of a shareholding, are also posted directly to equity. On the sale of these shareholdings, the exchange rate differences that were posted to equity are transferred to the income statement.
Segment reporting (Following new assignment of activities to the different sectors.) The operational organisation of the Group is based on the following main segments of activities: General contracting (part of the Real Estate Division) The activities carried on by this division include general project planning, work as general contractor and total contractor in the construction sector. Real estate (part of the Real Estate Division) The real estate segment includes real estate promotions and the realization of projects in the real estate sector. Services (part of the Real Estate Division) Services include studies, management and running of properties, coordination, engineering, and planning of projects in the property sector, and facility management. Tunnel and General Contracting Division The segment provides services in the areas of subterranean construction, tunnelling and general contracting for rail technology. Infrastructure This segment's activities include road and building construction and maintenance, civil engineering infrastructure and special construction works. Global Solutions This new segment offers engineering and management services for projects, mainly outside Switzerland.

Head office overheads and sundry expenses This category includes the costs of the parent company that cannot be assigned to a segment and the inactive affiliated companies. At the segment reporting level, this category includes the Group’s financial commitments (consortium loan) in particular. The list of affiliated companies on pages 52 and 53 shows how each company is assigned to the various segments. Because the Implenia group presently operates mainly in Switzerland, geographical segmentation is limited to the following: – Services supplied in Switzerland; – Services supplied abroad.
Materials and subcontractors Materials and subcontractors include all items of cost that are directly allocated to projects and are taken into account in the calculation of the project margin. This item also includes costs from real estate sales during the period. Personnel Personnel costs consists of gross salaries, social security contributions charged to the employer, as well as any other employee benefits that must be accounted for in the period concerned. Other operating expenses These are the other operating expenses that are not directly allocated to projects.
Consolidated income statement Turnover Turnover represents all the income from the different activities of the group. Within General Contracting and Construction divisions orders are recorded according to the Percentage of Completion Method. The income and results are recognised as a proportion of the work done in relation to the total contract value. Expected losses on the order book are included in relation to the valuation of works in progress and are recognised as a reduction in turnover. Conversely, price uplifts, supplements and bonuses are included if they have already been accepted by the customer. For work partnerships only the work done for the work partnerships and the share in the results of these work partnerships are included in the turnover. The turnover of Services is calculated on the basis of the service actually performed for the customer on the balance sheet date. For the Real Estate segment, the turnover includes the proceeds from property sales and general contracting work, as well as from temporary leases (pending sale). The revenues are recognised when the risk is actually transferred, which, generally speaking, is at the time when ownership is transferred, with registration in the Land Register. Reductions of income such as losses on debtors, changes in provisions for unsecured debts, rebates or discounts directly related to the invoiced services are accounted for as a reduction of turnover.
Financial charges and income Financial expenses consist of the interest charged on financial commitments, foreign currency exchange losses, losses on financial instruments and losses on the revaluation or sale of financial investments. Borrowing costs directly related to a real estate operation are accounted for as part of the cost of the operation. Financial income consists of the interest income on loans granted, dividends, foreign currency exchange gains, gains on financial instruments and profits on the revaluation or sale of financial investments. Income taxes Taxes reported in the income statement consist of current taxes on profits and deferred taxes. Taxes on amounts recognised directly in equity are also posted to equity. Current taxes are estimated on the basis of the taxable result and are calculated at the prevailing tax rates. Any differences on the tax accounts for previous years are also included in current taxes. Deferred taxes are determined on the basis of the timing differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying values (Balance Sheet Liability Method). Deferred taxes are determined based on the fiscal legislation and the tax rates in force at the balance sheet date or announced and expected to apply at the time of the realisation of the asset, or when the deferred tax liability is settled.
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Implenia Group Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Deferred tax assets are recognised on the balance sheet to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available to offset the taxable losses carried forward. Deferred tax liabilities are provided on timing differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associated companies, except where the timing of the reversal of the timing difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the timing difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Earnings per share Earnings per share are calculated by dividing the group result attributable to the shareholders of Implenia Ltd by the average weighted number of shares in circulation during the period concerned. To date, there are no factors that would require the calculation of a diluted result per share. Consolidated balance sheet Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash, assets held in current accounts (with the post office and banks), and deposits with a term of not more than 90 days. Trade debtors The carrying value represents the amounts invoiced after deducting allowance for doubtful debts. The allowance is recognised in the income statement. Work in progress Expenses related to orders are recorded at the time they occur. If the result of an order cannot be estimated reliably, income is recorded only up to the amount of the recoverable estimated expenses. If the result of an order can be estimated reliably and if the final estimated result is a profit, the order is valued at the net selling price, according to the Percentage of Completion Method. When it appears probable that the total costs of an order will exceed the expected income, the total amount of expected loss is recognised immediately in the income statement. The percentage of completion is expressed as a percentage of the costs incurred up to the balance sheet date in relation to the total expected costs to completion of the project.
Each order is valued individually, and the valuation is based on the estimated result at completion. Work in progress consists of work not yet invoiced to customers and services and work not yet invoiced by suppliers and subcontractors, as well as provisions for losses on the order book, if any (negative margins and provision for any overheads not recoverable). The valuation adjustments are determined separately. The net balance, by project, of these adjustments is disclosed as an asset if it is positive, or a liability if it is negative. Work partnerships This balance sheet item includes advances paid to and received from work partnerships, as well as undistributed shares in the result of the partnerships. A single asset or liability is reported on the balance sheet in relation to each work partnership. Work partnerships are valued in a similar way as work in progress. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (including the purchase costs but not taking into account selling costs) and net realisable value at the balance sheet date. Inventory costs are taken to the income statement at their weighted average cost. Real estate operations The real estate classified under this heading consist of properties held for sale in the ordinary course of business and valued like “Inventories� according to IAS 2. Completed operations not yet sold, may temporarily generate rental income. They continue to be classified under this heading as they are intended to be sold. Some real estate operations are conducted jointly with one or more partners. The operations that are carried on under joint control and ownership are reported as Real estate operations in the balance sheet for the share pertaining to Implenia, but as a maximum at the value of the funds invested. Each transaction is measured individually. The valuation is stated at the lower of the construction cost of the property and its market value estimated by the Group’s real estate specialists. The construction cost includes the borrowing costs paid to third parties until the property is ready for use or sale.

Impairments resulting from the above valuation policies are deducted from the carrying value as a valuation adjustment. Revenues from the sale of real estate are shown as turnover. Changes to the portfolio and changes in valuation adjustments on real estate transactions are recognized in expenses. Tangible fixed assets Tangible fixed assets are stated at their acquisition or production cost, after deducting depreciation and any impairment. Borrowing costs are capitalized only if financing has been specifically obtained for the asset. Improvement investments are capitalized only if they increase the value or if they replace a complete part of the asset. The replaced part is written off through the income statement. Other expenses related to tangible fixed assets are recognised directly in the income statement. Depreciation is charged using the estimated useful life of the fixed asset. Fixed assets that are significant in value are divided into components with different useful lives. Depreciation is recorded separately for each component according to its useful life. The main depreciation periods are as follows: Business premises 25-50 years Investment properties 25-50 years Production facilities 15-20 years Machinery and vehicles 6-15 years Furniture 5-10 years IT equipment 3-50 years The residual value and useful lives are checked every year. If the current estimate changes from the previous assessment, the resulting value adjustments are recognised in the income statement in the period when the change occurs in accordance with IAS 8. Gains and losses on disposal represent the difference between the book value and the sales proceeds, if any. Tangible fixed assets are no longer recognised when they are sold or when it is determined that the asset no longer represents a future economic value.
Leasing Lease agreements that substantially transfer to Implenia all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership are classified as finance leases. All other lease agreements are classified as operating leases. The decision as to whether a lease agreement is an operating or finance lease is made on an individual basis, according to the policies of IAS 17. Properties under finance leases are recognised on the balance sheet at the discounted value of the minimum lease payments or at market value if lower. Lease payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Fixed assets acquired through finance leases are depreciated over their estimated useful life or over the duration of the lease agreement, if it is shorter. The charges for operating lease agreements are included in the income statement at the time of payment. Long-term investments The valuation of minority shareholdings is presented under the heading “Basis of Consolidation; Minority shareholdings�. Long-term loans and receivables are recorded initially at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost, less any allowance for unrecoverable amounts. The allowance is recorded in the income statement. Intangible assets a) Licenses and software Software is recorded at purchase cost after deducting the accumulated depreciation and any impairment. Depreciation is calculated using the straight line method based on the estimated useful life, not exceeding 5 years. b) IT Projects The costs incurred for IT projects are included on the balance sheet as intangible assets only if it is considered probable that they can be exploited commercially and are technically feasible, and the costs can be determined reliably. Other development expenses that do not satisfy these conditions are recognised in the income statement as they occur.
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Implenia Group Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
As a maximum, the costs are capitalised for an amount corresponding to the discounted income from their future use. The development costs recognised are depreciated on a straight line basis over an estimated useful life between 3 and 6 years. Development expenses once recorded as expenses cannot be included as an asset in subsequent years. c) Goodwill In a business combination, goodwill represents the difference between the cost of acquisition and the fair value of the share in the net assets of the acquired company at the time of the acquisition. In the case of negative goodwill (if the value of the net assets exceeds the acquisition price), the amount is recognised directly in the income statement. Goodwill resulting from the acquisition of an associated company is included in the book value and is disclosed under “Investment in associated companies”. Goodwill recognised on the balance sheet is subject to impairment tests conducted annually and whenever there are indications of a potential impairment. Goodwill is stated at the acquisition cost less accumulated impairment losses. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to cash generating units or groups of units that are expected to benefit from the advantages that gave rise to the goodwill. d) Trademarks Acquired trademarks are stated at their acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis, over the estimated useful life of 1 to 5 years. e) Customer lists and order books Acquired customer lists and order books are stated at their acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis, over the estimated useful life of 1 to 5 years.
Impairment of tangible and intangible fixed assets Fixed assets are reviewed annually to detect any indications of a permanent reduction of value. If such indications do exist, the recoverable amount of the fixed asset is determined on the basis of an impairment test. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life (such as goodwill, for example) are systematically subject to annual impairment tests. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less selling costs, and the value in use. An impairment is charged to the income statement if the carrying value of the fixed asset or the cash generating unit exceeds the recoverable amount. With the exception of Goodwill, non monetary fixed assets whose value has been impaired previously are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine any potential reversal of impairment. Financial liabilities Financial liabilities are initially recognised at the actual cost less transaction costs and subsequently measured by using the effective interest rate method. The difference between the amount borrowed and the amount to be repaid is recognised in the income statement over the period of the borrowing. Provisions Provisions are recognised when at the date of the financial statements: – The Group has a present legal or constructive obligation resulting from a past event; – it is probable that a transfer of economic resources will be necessary to settle the obligation; – a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, the amount of the provision is appropriately discounted.

Pension plans The employees of Group companies are affiliated to autonomous and independent pension plans. These plans are financed by regulatory contributions paid by both employers and employees. The assets of the pension plans are managed independently and are completely separate from the Group. The benefit obligations are calculated every year by an independent actuary. In relation to the application of the international accounting standard IAS 19, the Group's pension plans are considered to be defined benefit pension plans, although, according to the interpretation given in Switzerland, they are considered as mixed plans. The balance-sheet provision corresponds to the discounted value of any future defined benefit obligation (DBO) as at the balance-sheet date, after deducting the fair value of long-term assets, adjusted for the accumulated actuarial differences which fall outside of the corridor, to be depreciated over the remaining number of years of service. The liabilities are calculated periodically using the projected unit credit method by an independent actuary. The value of the liabilities is determined by discounting the expected future cash flows. The discount rate used is the market rate for top quality industrial debtors. Actuarial gains and losses due to experience adjustments and changes made in the actuarial assumptions are recognised over the expected average remaining working lives of the employees to the extent that they fall outside of the corridor at the end of the previous period. The cost of past services is recorded on a straight line basis over the average remaining working lives until the benefits corresponding to the adopted or modified scheme become due to the employees.
Other employee benefits Group executives benefit from a profit-sharing plan in shares. It may be considered as supplementary remuneration linked to the result of the year concerned and takes the form of a free distribution of shares or shares offered at a preferential purchase price. These benefits (the difference between the stock market value of the shares distributed and the amounts received for the shares) are reported as personnel charges. The charges related to shares that are distributed only during the following year are fully provided for and recognised in the year concerned, as this remuneration is not related to the future performance of the executives. The details are defined from year to year by the Board of Directors. All the employees of the group enjoy the benefit of a profit-sharing plan in shares managed according to the regulations of the Motivation Foundation. Under the framework of this plan, the employees can acquire, once a year, a fixed number of Implenia Ltd shares at a preferential price. The difference between the stock market value of the shares distributed and the amounts received for the shares is charged to the Group units concerned and reported in the consolidated accounts as personnel expenses in the year when the shares are allocated. Equity The share capital consists of all issued registered shares. Dividends are recognised when the entitlement to their payment arises. External transaction costs related directly to the issue of share capital are deducted directly from the capital reserves. The acquisition by Implenia Ltd of treasury shares or those of the affiliated companies is recognised as a reduction of equity at the purchase cost, including transaction expenses. The income from the resale of these treasury shares is also recognised in equity.
Consolidated Financial Statements of the Implenia Group Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Financial instruments The Group divides financial instruments into the following classes: – operating receivables and liabilities; – Available-for-sale financial instruments; – Financial instruments held to maturity; – Financial instruments held at fair value adjusted through the income statement. The “Financial instruments valued through the income statement at fair value” are initially recognised at fair value (market value); other assets are recognised at fair value plus transaction costs. Assignment to a particular class of financial instrument takes place on initial booking. All purchases and sales of financial instruments are booked on the transaction date. Operating receivables and liabilities Operating receivables and liabilities are non-derivative financial instruments with fixed or determinable payment streams that are not traded on active markets. After initial recognition, these financial instruments are shown at amortized cost as determined on the basis of initial recognised value less any repayments and amortization calculated using the effective interest rate method. This includes all payments that are defined as a fixed element of the agreement for these financial instruments. Gains and losses made on sales or as a result of impairment are recognised in the income statement. The following balance sheet items are classed as operating receivables and liabilities: – Cash and cash equivalents – Customer receivables – Other receivables – Financial assets – Supplier liabilities – Finance liabilities – Other liabilities
Financial instruments held to maturity Held-to-maturity financial instruments are non-derivative financial instruments with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities that the Group wants to and can hold to maturity. After initial recognition, these instruments are valued at amortized cost, i.e. the value originally recognised is corrected to allow for repayments; for the (positive or negative) effect of amortization as determined by the effective interest rate method, to take account of the difference between initial and final value; and for value adjustments. This calculation includes all additional payments that are defined as a fixed element of the agreement for these financial instruments. These corrections are recognised in the income statement. During the year under review the group had no financial instruments held to maturity (previous year: none). Available-for-sale financial instruments Available-for-sale financial instruments are those that are either assigned to none of the classes mentioned above or that are available for sale. After the initial recognition, these are valued at fair value, with unrealised gains and losses recognised directly through equity. When sales are recognised or impairments made, these sums are charged out through the income statement. Interest earnings or expenses are recognised in the financial result. Dividend earnings are shown as dividend income as soon as the payment is received. The following balance sheet items are classed as available-for-sale financial instruments: – Securities. Determining fair value The fair value of financial instruments that are traded on an active market is determined on the basis of transactions on the balance sheet date. The fair value of financial instruments that are not traded on an active market is determined through suitable valuation methods. These might mean, for example, looking at current transactions involving similar financial instruments, or the current market value of similar financial instruments, discounted cash flow calculations, and other methods.
17
18
Impairments on financial instruments Financial instruments are reviewed periodically, but at least every quarter, for impairment of value. The process for checking impairment of receivables is set out in the explanation of Financial Risk Management. As soon as an impairment test indicates that impairment has occurred, a value adjustment is recognised in the income statement. Impairments on operating receivables are recognised as reductions in revenue, impairments on financial receivables are booked as finance expense. If there are clear indications that an impairment is no longer needed or that the current impairment level is too high (e.g. because a borrower has made payments), the impairments are reversed in full or in part through the income statement, except in the case of financial instruments where the unrealised value adjustment is recognised through shareholders' equity. In this case any reversal is also recognised through shareholders' equity. Derecognition of financial instruments Financial assets Financial instruments held as assets are derecognised if: – the rights to payment streams expire – the group still has rights to payment streams but has committed to pass on the payment streams to another party – the group has assigned the rights to payment streams and has assigned all significant risks and revenues, or surrendered control of the financial instruments. Financial liabilities Financial instruments held as liabilities are derecognised if the liability has been satisfied, waived or has expired. If a financial liability is replaced by a new liability with the same creditor, but with substantially different conditions, or if an existing financial liability is substantially altered, the existing financial liability is derecognised and the replacement (or altered) financial liability recognised, with any difference booked through the income statement.

The average tax rate is based on the weighted average of tax rates in effect for the Group companies. The positive fiscal impact from the use of non-capitalised tax losses carried forward is largely due to carried forward losses acquired during the takeover of the Batigroup group. At the time of this acquisition, these losses had not been utilised. These carried forward losses, which fell due this year, have been able to be partly used. According to IFRS standards, the positive effect of the use of these carried forward losses on the result is offset by a write-down of goodwill corresponding to the amount that ought to have been utilised at the time of the valuation of Batigroup (Purchase Price Allocation) in the Group accounts. The purpose of this offsetting is to recognise the value of goodwill.

20. Goodwill valuation and distribution The net book value of Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of acquisition over the fair value of the acquired identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities, after deduction of accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill is allocated to the respective cash generating units (CGU). The goodwill resulting from the acquisition of Batigroup is allocated over the new entities resulting from the internal reorganisation. The net residual value of a CGU is determined based on a value in use calculation of discounted cash flows, taking into account the business plan 2008 to 2010 adopted by the management. Subsequent years cash flows are estimated based on growth rates as disclosed below. The Goodwill is distributed between the CGUs as follows: (in 1000 CHF) Restated figures1
1 The adjustment of deferred taxes on the pension scheme of Batigroup not taken into account at the time of the acquisition has a total impact of KCHF –817 on goodwill which is split by segment as follows: General Contracting: KCHF –238; Infra: KCHF –212 and Tunnels KCHF –367. 2

Management defines the budgeted gross margin based on historical trends and expectations of future market development. The average growth rate are in line with construction industry in Switzerland. Discount rates are pre-tax and reflect the specific risks related to the corresponding segments. Based on current calculations, no impairment was identified. Goodwill adjustments recognised on the Infra, Tunnels and General Contracting segments are compensation from the use of a part of Batigroup's carried forward losses which, in the light of information at the time of the acquisition, had not been utilised. According to IFRS standards, the positive fiscal impact of the use of non utilised carried forward losses obtained during an acquisition must be compensated by an adjustment of goodwill, the purpose being to adjust goodwill to the value it ought to have been had these carried forward losses been used at the time of the acquisition.

The main source of financing is the consortium credit that the Group obtained from a consortium of banks on 16 August 2006. On 20 July 2007, Implenia Ltd signed a rider to its credit agreement with a consortium of banks increasing the cash credit limit from CHF 50 million to CHF 250 million and reducing the guarantee limit from CHF 50 million to CHF 250 million. The total cash and guarantee limit remains unchanged at CHF 500 million. The other terms of the initial contract also remain in effect. To secure the consortium credit, the Implenia Group issued the following securities in favour of the bank consortium: – Pledging of mortgage certificates on the Group real estate for an amount of CHF 44 million. – Guarantees given by the most important companies of the Group to cover the obligations of Implenia Ltd towards – the bank consortium. The continuance of the credit relationships is dependant on various conditions (Covenants), which had been fully complied with by Implenia Ltd at 31 December 2007.

24. Employee benefit plans Implenia benefit plans essencially comprise the former plans of Zschokke and Batigroup. They consist of plans governed by Swiss pensions law and are regarded as defined benefit plans for the purpose of IAS19. The defined benefit obligation of active staff is determined using the projected unit credit actuarial valuation method, taking into account future salary and benefits increase and staff turnover expectations. The defined benefit obligation of pensioners corresponds to the fair value of present benefits taking into account future increases. Actuarial reports are prepared at the balance sheet date.

Foundation for flexible retirement (FAR) Industrial personnel subject to the collective agreement benefit from the possibility of taking optional early retirement from the age of 60. Transitory benefits granted up to normal retirement age are paid by the Foundation for flexible retirement in the construction industry (FAR), established specially for this purpose. Financing of the FAR, which was created by the SIB (Industry and Construction) and SYNA trades unions and also the Société Suisse des Entrepreneurs, is assured by contributions from employers and employees. Insofar as the benefits of the FAR are financed under the margin capital distribution system, the conditions necessary to consider the FAR as a benefit system according to standard IAS 19 are not fulfilled. Consequently, the FAR is considered as a multi-employer system with defined contributions. The FAR prepares its accounts in accordance with Swiss benefit fund legislation. On this basis, at the end of 2006 the FAR had a reserve ratio of 94.9%, i.e. a deficit of CHF 27.8 million. In view of measures decided during the 2007 financial year (mainly reductions in benefits and increased contributions by employees), the Group does not anticipate any payment obligations beyond contributions initially planned. In 2007, the Group paid the FAR contributions totalling CHF 11.1 million (2006: CHF 11.2 million).

Warranty provisions concern risks related to completed projects which, by virtue of contractual agreements, are payable normally within 2 to 3 years, or 5 years at most. Some provisions previously classified under onerous contracts were reclassified under warranty provisions. The increase in the provision is related to a new project carried out in France by Implenia. Onerous contracts concern rental guarantees. They generally fall due within 2 to 3 years. As the result of a new rental contract signed in 2007 with the pension fund, it was possible to release a provision for the sum of 1.4 million. The increase in integration costs is due essentially to provisions for the cost of regrouping certain subsidiaries. A provision for redundancy costs linked to Implenia's activities abroad, previously classified under disputes, was reclassified under integration costs. During an analysis of provisions for disputes, it transpired that some valuation differences, resulting from the merger with Batigroup and classified under provisions for disputes, should be considered as provisions for losses on debtors and provisions for site repairs respectively. The provision for claims payable was reclassified under transitory liabilities due to the certain character of the amounts due. An amount of CHF 910 000 was able to be released following the purchase by Implenia of a rented plot of land which as a result no longer requires reinstatement. The balance of the provision consists of future costs for the reinstatement of sites at the end of their use. This mainly concerns gravel pits. At the end of 2007, other provisions consist of provisions for risks in connection with activities abroad.

The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on 24 April 2007 decided to repay CHF 0.35 of the face value of each Implenia Ltd share. As the legal requirements for repayment were met, the repayment was made as planned on 10 July 2007. From that date, the share capital of Implenia Ltd amounts to CHF 83 124 000. The annual general meeting on 2 March 2006 decided on a conditional capital increase of up to a total of CHF 41.562.600 (9.236.000 shares with a nominal value of CHF 4.50 each) for the purpose of covering the potential conversion of future convertible bonds or similar financial instruments. As of 31 December 2007, no such financial instruments were issued. The Board of Directors proposes a partial reimbursement of CHF 0.50 of the nominal value. The share capital will be reduced by KCHF 9 236 to KCHF 73 888. The Articles of Association will be adjusted accordingly. The partial reimbursement will take place on 3 July 2008 in favour of shareholders inscribed on the register on 27 June 2008. This reimbursement is not subject to deduction of withholding tax or income tax for natural persons liable for tax in Switzerland.

30. Management of financial risks The Group's main financial instruments concern the cash and cash equivalents, customers, financial liabilities and other liabilities, long-term financial liabilities and suppliers. Customers and suppliers are generated in the course of normal activity. Financial liabilities are intended exclusively to finance operational activity (current assets and fixed assets). Long-term investments serve mainly to finance associated companies (loans). The Group authorises the use of derivative financial instruments only for hedging purposes. Due to the weakness of exchange rate risks and the seasonal nature of financing requirements, derivative financial instruments are rarely used. During the financial year, the Group held no derivative financial instruments (2006: none). The main risks for the Group resulting from financial instruments are the credit risk, the interest rate risk, the liquidity risk and the market risk. Nearly 99% of sales and purchases by Group companies are made in the same currency, even 100% as regards financing. The risk run by the Group with regard to operational activity is therefore not significant. To a small extent, there is an exchange rate risk on net investments labelled in foreign currency made in foreign subsidiaries. Credit risk The credit risk concerns losses on customer debts and on financial debts. Customers Agreements with customers generally stipulate payment terms of from 30 to 90 days. Customer solvency is verified prior to any contract being signed. Turnover is realised mainly with the public sector and with high quality debtors (banks, insurance companies, pension funds, etc). On principle, no guarantee is requested. However, in the case of services concerning real estate, it is generally possible to have a legal mortgage registered (mortgage right of artisans and entrepreneurs). Notice of payments outstanding is given as part of a standardised procedure. Regular reports are made on the progress of debts, particularly those that are overdue. With respect to Group turnover, irrecoverable debts are negligible. Financial debts and other debts The credit risk concerning financial claims and other receivables resides in loss of income due to debtor insolvency. Debtors are regularly subject to solvency checks by means of a verification of their financial situation. The maximum credit risk corresponds to losses under the different receivables. For accounts receivables, the three largest sums amount to CHF 34.0 million (2006: CHF 15.1 million), or 7.2% of all accounts receivables (2006: 3.8%). For financial claims and cash and cash equivalents, the three largest sums amount to CHF 21.4 million (2006: CHF 82.4 million), corresponding to 31.0% of all financial claims and liquidities (2006: 58.8%).

Liquidity risk The liquidity risk resides mainly in the eventuality that liabilities cannot be honoured on the due date. Future development of liquidity is forecast based on a variety of rolling planning horizons. The Group endeavours at all times to have sufficient lines of credit to cover planned funding requirements. As at 31 December 2007, the Group had cash and cash equivalents of CHF 47.2 million (2006: CHF 107.3 million) and unused credit limits of CHF 178.6 million (2006: 167.6 million). The Group seeks minimal liquidity (including cash and cash equivalents and unused credit limits) of CHF 50 million (2006: CHF 50 million).

Interest rate risk The Group has very few assets that generate interest. Consequently, the Group’s interest rate risk results from the structure and volume of its financing. Insofar as the Group’s debts are coupled exclusively with variable interest rates, the risk resides in the effect of interest rate variations on the Group’s cash flow. Indebtedness always occurs in the national currency of the financed entity and is therefore almost entirely in Swiss francs. The structure of due dates of interest-bearing financial instruments is as follows: less than 1 year Variable rate: 47 153 Liquidities 148 Financial claims 158 645 Financial liabilities Fixed rate: Financial claims Financial liabilities

The table below shows the effect of interest rate variations on the Group’s pre-tax profit (EBT). It is assumed that the interest rate variation affected the entire financial year. Only the effect of interest rate variations in Swiss francs is presented, since the Group acquires debt virtually exclusively in that currency. Interest rate variations have no effect on shareholders’ equity. Variation in rate Variation in EBT +/– 0.5% 1 097 Sensitivity 2007 +/– 0.5% 783 Sensitivity 2006 Exchange rate risk and market risk (cash flow risk) Risk related to exchange rate fluctuations is not significant and concerns mainly net investments held in foreign currency made in foreign subsidiaries. Since the Group holds few securities, market risk is not significant either. Losses on financial liabilities and contractual infringements There were no losses on financial liabilities during the financial year (2006: none). Clauses (financial convenants) stipulated in financing agreements were fulfilled. Policy regarding structure of capital and indebtedness The Group targets a rate of self-financing around of 30%. On the year end date, the rate of self-financing was 30.2% (2006: 28.7%). Net current assets must be financed by short-term bank finance, while the financing of assets must be assured by current cash flow. The value of economic shareholders’ capital corresponds to that shown in the balance sheet.

32. Profit-sharing scheme (in 1000 CHF) a) Scheme available to all employees The profit-sharing scheme for the benefit of employees is determined by the Motivation Foundation of Implenia Group. Under this scheme, employees can subscribe to shares of Implenia Ltd (2006: Zschokke Holding SA) at a preferential price. The difference between the average market price of CHF 32.15 per share (2006: CHF 562.99 per share) and the preferential price of CHF 19.30 per share (2006: CHF 400 per share) is recorded as an expense of the period. 52 866 679

The shares are blocked and cannot be traded for a period of 3 (2006: 5) years. The employees are entitled to dividends and may exercise their voting rights. Upon expiry of the blocking period, the shares may be freely traded by the employees. b) Executive scheme Group managers benefit from a profit-sharing scheme in Implenia Ltd shares. Depending on the achievement of targets, the Board of Directors may decide to allocate shares free of charge or on a preferential basis. Under a written agreement, this allocation constitutes additional annual remuneration that is not related to the future performance of managers. The amount is therefore expensed entirley in the current financial year. The amount charged to the Group is calculated on the basis of the share’s stock market value at the time of grant, which is done at the beginning of the next financial year. The Group may either buy shares on the market or draw from its own stock of shares. In 2007, shares reserved for managers were estimated at a price of CHF 34.60 per share (2006: CHF 25.45 per share).

37. Adjustment of previous year’s reported figures The following data was modified with respect to last year’s reported figures. a) Turnover from real estate operations Turnover from real estate operations corresponds to the sales of these operations and is included in Group turnover. Until last year, only the result of the sale was recognised as turnover. The adjustment leads to an increase in turnover and subcontractors of KCHF 79 297 for 2006. There is no impact on operating profit as a result. This adjustment was necessary so that Implenia complied with the accounting requirements of IFRS standards. b) Processing of discounts and guarantee commission Previously discounts and guarantee commission were recognised under financial costs. A change of accounting principles was necessary to meet IFRS standards and these items are now included either in turnover or in charges. The previous year’s figures have been adjusted, leading to a reduction in Group turnover of KCHF 3 571 and a reduction in materials and subcontractors of KCHF 801. The effect of points a) and b) on the profit and loss account are as follows: (in 1000 CHF) Group turnover Materials and subcontractors Operating profit Financial costs Pre-tax profit

e) Calculation of deferred tax on pension scheme assets Deferred tax on pension scheme assets was calculated for the first time this year and required an adjustment to the previous year. The adjustment gave rise to a change in shareholders’ equity on 1st January 2006 of KCHF –2 739. For the acquisition of Batigroup, the impact on goodwill of deferred tax on pension scheme assets is KCHF 817. This gives a total adjustment of KCHF –1 922 as at 31 December 2006. The impact of KCHF 41 for the 2006 financial year was considered immaterial and was not recognised. f) Correction of the allocation of share remuneration Remuneration in shares was charged directly to shareholders’ equity. The adjustment resulted in a reclassification from accruals and deferred income to shareholders’ equity with respect to the positions as at 31 December 2006. The adjustment had no impact on the profit and loss account. The effect of points e) and f) may be summarized as follows: (in 1000 CHF) Shareholders’ equity, 1.1 Goodwill, 31.12 Deferred taxes, liabilities, 31.12 Accruals and deferred income 31.12 Shareholders’ equity, 31.12

Associated companies are consolidated using the equity method. Despite a holding in excess of 50%, Seval, Tapidrance and Valbéton are considered to be associated companies consolidated using the equity method. These are companies over which Implenia does not have sufficient control to justify full consolidation. In addition, other companies in which Implenia has a holding of less than 20% are considered to be associate companies due to the fact that Implenia has significant influence over them.

We have examined on a test basis evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
