Cable&Wireless Worldwide Annual Report 2011/12 01 chairman's statement This has been an extraordinary year of change and challenge for Cable&Wireless Worldwide. In the last year we have had two Chairmen and three Chief Executives culminating in the appointment of Gavin Darby as Chief Executive Officer in November 2011. Due to the tough trading conditions we also took the difficult decision to suspend the dividend which inevitably led to a fall in our share price. Since then Gavin has stabilised the business, renegotiated our revolving credit facility and written a new plan for

Given the far from easy trading circumstances, I regard our 2006 results as satisfactory. Sales for the year to 31 December 2006 were £58.42m, an increase of 3.0% as compared with 2005, including a full year's sales from our branch in Kettering which was acquired in late July 2005. Gross margins fell slightly from 28.8% in 2005 to 28.6% in 2006. Operating profit reduced by 7.6% to £4.03m (2005: £4.36m). Profit before tax fell by 8.7% to £4.03m (2005: £4.42m) and a slightly higher tax charge of 30.5% (2005: 29.6%) meant that earnings per share fell by 10.1% to 27.7p (2005: 30.8p). These results have only been achieved because of the continued hard work and dedication of all our employees. They are our most important asset and again I sincerely thank them for their efforts on your behalf. Our employees are most ably led by our executive directors and I would like to pay tribute to their commitment over the last 12 months. Finally I would like to thank my non-executive colleagues for all their support over this period. Dividends The Board is recommending to the annual general meeting the payment of an unchanged final dividend for 2006 of 9.5p giving a total dividend for 2006 of 15p (2005: 15p). This dividend is covered 1.85 times by earnings for the year. The Board's decision to leave the dividend unchanged despite the fall in profits reflects the underlying strength and continuing strong cash generation of the business. It is proposed that the final dividend will be paid on 27 April 2007 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 23 March 2007. The Board Due to pressure

Finnish Accounting Act and 7.3.2013 9 opinions and ordinances of the Finnish Accounting Board. Biotie has established objectives for reliable financial reporting in order to identify financial reporting risks. The Group has an integrated risk management process which is a part of the Group's management, monitoring and reporting systems. Regular reporting and monitoring is performed both at the Group and single company level. The identification of risks and preparations for them is primarily carried out in the finance and administration unit. Risk management procedures cover the identification and assessment of the risks that may arise in different levels of the financial reporting process. Risk identification and assessment is continual, meaning that the assessment is updated on a continuous basis through taking into account the changes in the business environment and in the operation of the corporation. The monitoring and follow-up of internal control systems is conducted to ensure that the financial information is reliable, complete and timely for the decision making and that internal control is operating efficiently. Control activities are linked to risk assessment and specific actions are taken to address risks to the achievement of financial reporting objectives. The identified risks related to financial reporting are managed through control activities that are set throughout the organisation, at all levels and in all functions. In financial reporting, the Group Finance assists the single companies in setting up adequate control activities such as approvals, authorizations, verifications, reconciliations, reviews of operating performance, safeguarding of assets and segregation of duties. The Board of Directors is ultimately responsible for ensuring that external financial reporting is correct, timely and in compliance with applicable regulations. In 2012, Biotie identified the key controls that aim to respond the financial reporting risks identified in the risk assessment process. Through the control activities, a reasonable assurance can be reached to make sure that the financial reporting of the Group is accurate, timely and complete. The identified common controls are implemented at Group and unit level. The focus has also been on follow-up of the adequacy and effectiveness of control activities. The local companies report the results on monthly, quarterly and yearly basis to the parent company that is responsible for preparing the consolidated financial statements and monitoring the performance of the operation at consolidated level. 10 In Biotie, the monitoring has been embedded in the work performed by the Board of Directors, the Managing Director and the Group management. The monitoring contains analysing the monthly, quarterly and annual performance of the corporation at the various levels of the organisation as well as reviews and procedures. 7.3.2013

MG Rover in December 2003. 40 acres (edged yellow) -- appointed as developer by Advantage West Midlands.

I am delighted to report on an eleventh successive year of record results and confirm to you that the company is in good heart and in its strongest position ever. Profits before tax increased by 17% to £35.0m (2002: £30.0m), earnings per share grew by 18% to 20.1p (2002: 17.1p) and net assets per share increased by 16% to 186.0p (2002: 160.9p). The results include a 38% growth in net rental income, a 5% growth in property profits and a £14.5m (4%) revaluation uplift on the investment property portfolio. We have worked hard to bring forward the latent value in two of our associated operations. We exchanged our 35% holding in Northern Racing for a 27.2% holding in The Chepstow Racecourse PLC, an AIM listed company, thus giving greater financing flexibility for our racecourse operations in the future, establishing a value for our interest and creating a cleaner exit opportunity if ever that was appropriate. Immediately after the year end, we sold our investment in the Pubmaster operation to Punch Taverns realising a profit of £4.9m which will be recognised in the 2004 accounts. Our key performance measurement of total pre-tax return on average shareholder funds was 24.1% (2002: 25.2%). DIVIDEND Your board is recommending a final dividend of 4.4p (2002: 3.8p) per ordinary share, making a total distribution for the year of 6.6p (2002: 5.7p), an increase of 16%. This final dividend will be paid on 30 April 2004 to shareholders on the register on 13 April 2004.

STRATEGY Your board continues to have total confidence in the company's strategy of adding value through active management and regeneration in our specialised areas of property expertise via a network of regional offices. The key to the strategy is to maintain a growing land and property bank of well-located future opportunities. We were again successful in adding to the hopper including major acquisitions at Avonmouth, Kirkby, Longbridge and Llanwern. Additionally, we have been successful in being selected as preferred developer by several more local authorities and regional development agencies. The total estate continues to expand, which underpins the company's long-term future profitability. DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES These results, and indeed the repeated success of the company throughout the period of my chairmanship, could not have been achieved without an exceptional team of people at all levels. My personal appreciation goes to my board colleagues, all the employees and to you, our shareholders, for your continued support over my time as Chairman of your company. It has been a source of great encouragement to me. The succession plans have been considered carefully and have been implemented over recent years. When I step down as chairman following the Annual General Meeting, it is intended that Anthony Glossop, currently Deputy Chairman and Chief Executive, will become Executive Chairman and Bill Oliver will succeed him as Chief Executive. I will remain on the board as a nonexecutive director and am very pleased to have been invited to become Life President. Going forward, your company will continue to

We could have easily done without this annual report. Annual Report 2009 The Year 2009 in Review The construction industry was hard hit by the worldwide recession in 2009, which trig- gered a sharp drop in the demand for building materials. On the one hand, new residential construction is heavily dependent on bank financing and, on the other hand, consumers tend to postpone investment decisions as a reaction to the weak economy and uncertain expectations for the future. Wienerberger implemented a wide-ranging action plan to adjust capacity to reflect these developments, which also included active working capital management to reduce inventories, a decrease in administrative and selling costs and a cutback in investments to the necessary minimum. Wienerberger recorded in part significantly lower sales volumes on all markets as well as a substantial decline in earnings for 2009: Group revenues fell by 25% to 1,816.9 million, operating EBITDA by 53% to 208.6 million and operating EBIT by 92% to 19.0 million. Adjusted earnings per share (before non-recurring effects) dropped to -0.34 (2008: 1.69). Despite the weak development of operating earnings, Wienerberger increased free cash flow by an impressive 28% to roughly 251 million in a difficult market environment with cost savings of 160 million from the action plan and, above all, through a significant reduction in working capital and investments. These funds and the proceeds of 320 million from the capital increase in September 2009 were used to strengthen the equity base and thereby cut net debt by more than half during the reporting period. The Managing Board has made a recommendation to the Supervisory Board, calling for the waiver of the 2009 dividend ­ since we consider it an obligation to handle the funds provided by our shareholders through the capital increase with the greatest possible care to create the maximum value on their behalf. Market Positions Wienerberger is the world's largest producer of bricks and Nr. 1 on the clay roof tile market in Europe with 227 plants in 27 countries. We also hold leading positions in concrete pavers in Central-East Europe. Clay blocks: Facing bricks: Clay roof tiles: Concrete pavers: Nr. 1 worldwide Nr. 1 in Europe, co-leader in the USA Nr. 1 in Europe Nr. 1 in Central-East Europe Revenues and Operating Ebitda Margin in mill. and % 40%

Production of heavy trucks in our key markets in North America and Western Europe remained at the 2002 levels, roughly 25% lower than in the peak year, 1999. Production levels for cars, construction vehicles and forklift trucks remained essentially unchanged from the year before. The protracted downturn in the vehicle market does however increase our confidence in forecasts that point toward a prompt reversal and the start of a cyclical upswing in North America in the years ahead. The North American production rate for heavy trucks did in fact increase in each quarter of

The domestic economy is increasingly becoming the mainstay of economic growth. That strengthens the German economy's resistance to external risks and also benefits German trade partners. In the course of last year, economic activity in Germany reached the same level as before the economic and financial crisis in the spring of 2008. This means that the crisis-related catch-up process proceeded more dynamically than the federal government had expected at the same time last year. The upswing was very robust, even by international standards: Gross domestic product witnessed a 3 percent increase in real terms in 2011, after it had already increased by 3.7 percent in the previous year. However, indebtedness in a number of industrialized countries ­ often coupled with doubts about their competitiveness ­ resulted in significant insecurity on the capital markets. This also caused business expectations in the German economy to take a significant turn for the worse in the second half of 2011. Growth slowed down. The federal government has called for an energy transition and intends to increase renewable energies' share of the electricity supply gradually from their current level of 20 % (2011) to 35 % (2020) and further to 50 % (2030). This tempo can be adhered to only if we are successful in removing the inhibiting factors. In this economic environment and with fully utilized drilling and personnel capacities, the Daldrup Group generated gross revenue of 47.1 million in fiscal year 2011 (previous year: 41.1 million).

This tempo can be adhered to only if we are successful in removing the inhibiting factors. In this economic environment and with fully utilized drilling and personnel capacities, the Daldrup Group generated gross revenue of 47.1 million in fiscal year 2011 (previous year: 41.1 million). This is equivalent to an increase of 14.6 % compared with the previous year. 57.5% (previous year: 61.2%) of this revenue was achieved in Germany and 42.5% (previous year: 38.8%) in other countries (Netherlands, Austria and Switzerland). Protracted tendering and approval processes for deep wells, postponements of deadlines, extended drilling times and considerable restraint on the part of banks to fund projects had a revenue-limiting and cost-raising impact on the drilling and project business in the income statement of 2011. In fiscal year 2011, the Group generated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and extraordinary expense (EBITDA) of 2.2 million (previous year: 8.0 million). After scheduled depreciation of 4.1 million on the previous year level, earnings before interest, taxes and extraordinary expense (EBIT) genera- ted by the Daldrup Group amount to - 2.0 million (previous year: 4.0 million). Other minority shareholders' share of the Group earnings (EAT) of - 3.6 million (previous year: 2.4 million) is - 2.0 million (previous year: 0.2 million).

Other minority shareholders' share of the Group earnings (EAT) of - 3.6 million (previous year: 2.4 million) is - 2.0 million (previous year: 0.2 million). In our Group management report for fiscal year 2011, Group earnings are broken down by segment. It is well known and apparent that startup losses stem from the project development business (here mainly the Taufkirchen geothermal project). The accrued costs of 31.6 million (previous year: 17.6 million) from the geothermal projects in Taufkirchen and Mauerstetten are recognized in fixed assets under "Prepayments on assets under construction" on the asset side of the balance sheet. The Daldrup Group's equity as at 31/12/2011 amounts to 75.4 million (previous year: 70.0 million) and the equity ratio on the reference date was 68.7 % (previous year: 75.5 %). For the first time in the history of Daldrup & Söhne AG, liabilities to banks in the amount of 8.0 million are reported. The funds are being used to co-finance the Taufkirchen geothermal project. In summary, it can be stated that the sector-typical cyclical fluctuations in drilling projects and start-up losses from the project development business have had a negative impact on

01 January to 31 December 2011. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements and the group management report in accordance with German commercial law and supplementary articles of incorporation are the responsibility of the parent company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements and on the group management report based on our audit. Our audit has not led to any reservations. In our opinion, based on the findings of our audit, the consolidated financial statements of Daldrup & Söhne Aktiengesellschaft, Grünwald, for the fiscal year from 01 January to 31 December 2011 comply with legal requirements and give a true and fair view of the net assets, financial position and results of operations in accordance with German principles of proper accounting. The group management report is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and as a whole provides a suitable view of the Group's position and suitably presents the opportunities and risks of future development. We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with § 317 HGB and German generally accepted standards for the audit of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer [Institute of Public Auditors in Germany] (IDW). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit such that misstatements, whether due to error or fraud, materially affecting the presentation of the net assets, financial position and results of operations in the financial statements in accordance with German principles of proper accounting and in the management report are detected with reasonable assurance. Knowledge of the business activities and the economic and legal environment of the Group and expectations as to possible misstatements are taken into account in the determination of audit procedures.

EL.EN. GROUP CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL REPORT AS OF DECEMBER 31st 2005 MANAGEMENT REPORT 2 Management report on the financial year ending December 31st 2005 To our shareholders, The financial year ending December 31st 2005 ends with a net profit for the Group of 24.704 thousand Euros net after taxes for an amount of 4.407 thousand Euros. 2005 was a year of exceptional expansion for the activities of the Group which registered a significant growth rate and reached an excellent level of operating profit. The determined activity conducted on the American market through the subsidiary Cynosure in the month of December was responsible for the success of the efforts that had been made in the preceding years with the IPO of the company, a remarkable capital gains after the sale of the stock made by the Group as part of the same operation, and a financial reinforcement which will make it possible to plan for the future development of Cynosure and the Group with an ample availability of capital. The complex and articulated activities of the Group, however, were not without difficulties in some sectors of their business, even though the overall financial year can be considered one of great satisfaction. 3 Adoption of international accounting principles When the European Regulation 1606 / 2002 of July 19th 2002 came into force, starting with the financial year 2005, the companies possessing stock which had been put up for negotiation on the market governed by the countries which are members of the European Union had to draw up a consolidated annual report in conformity with the international accounting principles (IAS/IFRS) issued by the International Standard Boards (IASB) and approved by the Union. In compliance with these regulations, starting on January 1st 2005 the El. En. Group adopted the international accounting principles (IAS/IFRS). The present annual report closed on December 31st 2005 was therefore formulated applying the criteria of evaluation and determination established by the IAS/IFRS, and adopted by the European Commission. For the purpose of making it possible to compare results with those of the preceding year, El.En. Group has provided a document called Appendix I ­ Reconciliation Tables for Italian and International Accounting Principles, attached to the explanatory notes of the consolidated annual report, which contains the methods and quantities applied for the transition to the IFRS in the annual report of December 31st 2004 in comparison with the report drawn up using the Italian accounting principles, as shown from the application of the IFRS1 (First Time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standard).

the plans presented in Note 2 to the financial statements (disposal of assets, partnerships, restructuring accompanying an operational turnaround). The success of these plans is essential to the continuation of Groupe Bull as a going concern, without which certain asset and liability values may prove inappropriate (in particular, the deferred tax assets shown in note 22, the valuation of which is based on the successful completion of these plans); in our audit report on the 2001 consolidated financial statements, we expressed the following qualification: A deferred tax asset of EUR 29 million was maintained in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001. Considering the Group's results in the last three years, we believe that this deferred tax asset should be fully impaired and expensed to the 2001 income statement. In addition, we drew attention to the uncertainty surrounding the successful implementation of the Groupe Bull restructuring plan presented in Note 2 to the financial statements, and made possible by the French state's commitment, subject to EC approval, to provide Bull with financial support in the form of repayable stockholders' advances for a maximum total amount of EUR 450 million, including EUR 100 million already paid as of December 31, 2001. This commitment was officially confirmed by a French state representative in the presence of the Board of Directors.

Profit before tax amounted to £39.1m up 8% over the previous record of £36.1m (pre-exceptional). Underlying earnings per share increased by 15% to reach 61.4p per share (2000 ­ 53.1p restated). With an increase of over 10% in underlying Group port operating profits and 12% in property profits, the Group continued to benefit from its wide spread of business in increasingly more difficult trading conditions. The highlights of the year were the strong performance of the Scottish Ports, the award of a freight facilities grant for the new Superfast Rosyth ­ Zeebrugge ferry link, the opening of the Ocean Terminal Shopping Centre and the ongoing masterplanning of our major developments at Leith and Granton. The strong performance within the Scottish Ports Division was led by the Port of Grangemouth which increased its total annual tonnage by 9% to nearly 9.6 million tonnes. Both piped and dry cargo saw good increases which produced an excellent financial result. In addition, Leith improved its tonnages by 31% after a relatively poor

Both piped and dry cargo saw good increases which produced an excellent financial result. In addition, Leith improved its tonnages by 31% after a relatively poor year in 2000. We recently announced that we had sold our small container shipping company, Forthline, to the Simon Group as this was not one of our core activities. After many years in the planning and with a tight construction timetable, the Ocean Terminal Shopping Centre opened on time on 4th October 2001. This magnificent building will contribute significantly to the shopping and leisure facilities within the City of Edinburgh. Our outline planning application for Western Harbour Leith was approved by the Planning Committee on 6th February 2002. We are seeking to build on this recent success and are continuing to work with the planners to achieve a substantial transformation of Edinburgh's Waterfront. We are seeking to strengthen our team by bringing in a 10% equity and management partner in to our property business. This move will increase our management resources and provide third party confirmation of the substantial value of our property assets. Forth Ports continues to look at acquisition opportunities and during the year we reached the final stages of the tender process for the Ports Corporation of South Australia. Our bid was unsuccessful; however, the exercise strengthened our commercial relationships with South Australia and wine shipments are now increasing through the Port of Tilbury.

year in 2000. We recently announced that we had sold our small container shipping company, Forthline, to the Simon Group as this was not one of our core activities. After many years in the planning and with a tight construction timetable, the Ocean Terminal Shopping Centre opened on time on 4th October 2001. This magnificent building will contribute significantly to the shopping and leisure facilities within the City of Edinburgh. Our outline planning application for Western Harbour Leith was approved by the Planning Committee on 6th February 2002. We are seeking to build on this recent success and are continuing to work with the planners to achieve a substantial transformation of Edinburgh's Waterfront. We are seeking to strengthen our team by bringing in a 10% equity and management partner in to our property business. This move will increase our management resources and provide third party confirmation of the substantial value of our property assets. Forth Ports continues to look at acquisition opportunities and during the year we reached the final stages of the tender process for the Ports Corporation of South Australia. Our bid was unsuccessful; however, the exercise strengthened our commercial relationships with South Australia and wine shipments are now increasing through the Port of Tilbury. In November 2001, 300,000 shares were bought back by the Company at a cost of just over £2m. We are seeking a renewed authority to buy back further shares at our Annual General Meeting. This authority will only be acted upon if the share buy back is earnings enhancing. The Directors propose a final dividend of 20p per share giving a total dividend for the year of 30p per share (2000 ­ 27p) an overall increase of 11%. The final dividend, if approved by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting, will be paid on 17th May 2002 to all shareholders on the register at 19th April 2002. We are extremely grateful to all who work for Forth Ports for their efforts and contributions over the last year. Having reached the age of 70, Hugh Thompson retires from the Board at the Annual General Meeting in May. He has made an enormous contribution to Forth Ports over many years. We wish him well for the future. While trading conditions have been more difficult in the port business over the last few months compared with a strong opening performance last year, we remain confident that 2002 will be another successful year.

the administration of the Plan or to obtain or maintain favourable tax, exchange control or regulatory treatment for the Company or participants in the Plan. Source of Shares An award may be satisfied either by the transfer to the participant of existing shares in the Company purchased on the market or by the issue of new shares. The Plan permits the Company to use the Forth Ports PLC Employee Trust for the purpose of holding the shares pending the transfer to participants. Further details of that Trust are given below. However, where awards are satisfied through the issue of new shares to the Trustee for the purpose of satisfying awards under the Plan, the use of new shares will be subject to limiting the percentage of the Company's issued share capital utilised for the purposes of the Plan or in respect of the granting of share options in any ten year period to 10 per cent. Within this overall limit of 10 per cent, new shares issued in respect of the granting of share options (other than savings-related share options) will be limited to 5 per cent. Trust It is intended that the transfer of shares to satisfy awards under the Plan will be made by the Trustee of the Forth Ports PLC Employee Trust ("the Trust"). The Trust was established by trust deed dated 26 February 1992 by the Company for the benefit of employees. The Trust was set up shortly prior to flotation of the Company. In order to ensure that it has sufficient Ordinary Shares to satisfy any awards that are made under the Plan the Trustee will: (a) subscribe at market value of shares; (b) acquire shares on the market; and/or (c) be granted an option by the Company to acquire shares at the market value at the end of the relevant performance period.
