THE COMPANY

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

The business year 2019/20 was extraordinary, chal-lenging and characterized by the COVID-19 pandemic, the necessary mitigation efforts and the effects on our shareholdings.

All for One Group SE laid with the design of CONVER- SION/4 - a subscription model for SAP transforma-tion and migration to SAP S/4HANA - the foundation for the further growth of the recurring revenues.

Companies whose business performance was significantly impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic were added to those that were concerned with the structural changes of their customer markets. To ensure the health of our employees and secure our economic success, business processes and internal procedures had to be adapted to the new conditions within a very short time. Therefore, we focused on providing support to our portfolio companies to manage these challenges and on continuing to set the course for the long-term development of our share-holdings.

All for One Group SE responded quickly to the challenges of the pandemic and introduced the possi-bility of working from home for the safety of their employees. Special quick-start package solutions, such as setting up short-time allowance systems or enabling digital collaboration in virtual teams working from home were designed for the customers. Although revenues from licenses have fallen sharply due to the postponement of customer projects, the dynamic increase of recurring revenues showed that the

All for One Group SE business model is strong, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the lockdownKautex Group implemented the most significant changes in the last business year. Since the automotive segment might not experience an imminent recovery from the significant changes and the COVID-19 pandemic, the strategic focus on solutions in the segments packaging and specialties became crucial. The appointment of the new CEO accompanied by the replacement of essential key positions of Kautex Group, the closer integration of the German and Chinese site, and the intensifying of sales activities supported by a huge product initiative accelerated the transformation into a leading manufacturer of blow mold solutions for packaging considerably.

As a result of the Europe-wide government-mandated COVID-19 measures Pongratz Trailer-Group GmbH was affected by the closure of their dealers for several weeks, by a brief interruption of production in Slovakia and by delays in the supply chain. Although the loss of sales in business year 2019/20 could not be completely made up for, major accomplishments were achieved. The supplier network has been significantly expanded, efficiency measures showed a positive effect, the product portfolio was enlarged, and sales were further strengthened. Major key accounts were

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

acquired in the German market and in Austria Pongratz remained number one in the registration statistics for vehicle trailers. In addition, by the end of December 2020 a record order backlog was registered.

Because of the high uncertainty in the automotive sector and to ensure the safety of the employees, BEGALOM Guss GmbH implemented a shift model combined with the use of short-time working for a period of two months in March 2020. The focus on innovative and sophisticated components and the sales success of the small series production and the repeated orders improved sales further. Combined with the ongoing optimization of internal processes and the efficiency improvements implemented in previous periods BEGALOM was able to increase the result compared to previous year considerably.

As we conclude this letter, lockdowns are extended across Europe, new containment measures are adopted and growth forecasts that are only a few weeks old are being revised. In business year 2020/21

Unternehmens Invest AG will therefore continue to work consistently to support its shareholdings to meet the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic consequences. The further diversification of sales markets, the expansion of the product port-folio and the systematic implementation of measures to increase efficiency will enable our shareholdings to achieve the goals set in business year 2020/21.

Although our forecast for 2020/21 is cautious because of the dynamic COVID-19 infection development and the serious economic consequences, we continue to assess the mid-term development potential of our portfolio companies positively.

The business year 2020/21 will be further on burdened by the COVID-19 pandemic. With the beginning of 2021 vaccines will be available, however an effective global implementation will take time. Therefore, public health measures to contain the pandemic are likely to continue, burdening the economic activity.

COMMITMENT TO THE AUSTRIAN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT

for the business year 2019|20 of Unternehmens Invest AG

COMMITMENT TO THE AUSTRIAN CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE

Since the business year 2003 the Management Board and the Supervisory Board of Unternehmens Invest AG ("UIAG") commit themselves to the rules of the Austrian Corporate Governance Code (www.corporate-governance.at), and its objective for a responsible management and monitoring, directed towards a sustainable value. Thorough transparency is an utmost concern.

The Austrian Corporate Governance Code provides a framework for responsible and transparent management and control. It is based on the Austrian Stock Corporation Act, Stock Market Act Capital Markets Act and EU-recommendations regarding the responsibilities of the members of the Supervisory Board, the remuneration of the management, and the OECD principles of Corporate Governance.

The Austrian Corporate Governance Code in its version of January 2020 and the corporate governance report for the business year 2019/20 are available on the company's website (www.uiag.at).

of its shareholders and to optimize the high legal and ethnical standards and code of conduct of the company.

Unternehmens Invest AG complies with all statutory requirements (L-rules or "legal requirement") of the Austrian Corporate Governance Code.

Comply or explain

In addition to the statutory requirements Unternehmens Invest AG complies with the C-rules ("comply or explain") of the Austrian Corporate Governance Code except for the following deviations:C-rule 18: As the company is not large enough, it does not comply with the rule of setting up a separate internal auditing functional unit. However, an internal monitoring and reporting system enables the Management Board to recognize risks and to react in a timely manner. The Supervisory Board - and in particular the audit committee - are informed on a regular basis on the internal monitoring mechanism and the risk management in the group.

Unternehmens Invest AG fully commits to the Austrian Corporate Governance Code in the current version. This commitment is a voluntary obligation of Unternehmens Invest AG to improve the confidenceC-rule 36: The Supervisory Board strives to constantly improve its organization, procedures and efficiency.

An explicit self-evaluation was not conducted in the business year 2019/20.

C-rules 39, 41 and 43: Since the Supervisory Board of Unternehmens Invest AG had five (or from

10 August 2020 only four) members only in business year 2019/20 the setting up of nomination and remuneration committees would not improve the efficiency of the Supervisory Board's work. The issues of the committees are discussed with the entire Supervisory Board.

As at 30 September 2020, the company has issued 6,369,517 ordinary shares, preference shares or restrictions for ordinary shares are not in place. The principal "one share - one vote" applies. The Austrian Takeover Law ensures that - in case of a takeover bid (mandatory offer) - each shareholder receives the same price for its shares.

C-rule 83: This rule is not complied with because company-specific risk management is set up at share-holding level and because of UIAG's holding function the investment-specific risk management is part of investment management.

In addition, Unternehmens Invest AG endevours to comply not only with the minimum requirements but also with the codes R-rules ("recommendation").

The company is committed to transparency and a "true and fair view" for all owners. All relevant infor- mation is published in our annual financial report, the interim financial report, on the company's website and regular PR work. The financial reports are set up according to international accounting standards (IFRS). The company informs its shareholders by means of ad hoc releases and press releases on all relevant topics. Important events are listed in the financial calendar.

REPORT ON SHAREHOLDINGS OF UNTERNEHMENS INVEST AG

IT segment

All for One Group SE (formerly: All for One Group AG)

In the Annual General Meeting of All for One Group AG in March 2020 the conversion into a European stock corporation ("Societas Europaea") - All for One Group SE - was resolved and entered into the commer- cial register on 13 July 2020.

In the business year 2019/20 sales of All for One Group SE amounted to € 355,393k (-1% compared to business year 2018/19; 12 months). Thus, All for One Group SE could not achieve their initial sales and EBIT forecast for the business year 2019/20 because of the drop in demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular earnings from the sale of soft-ware licenses and from consulting and services fell short of expectations as many projects were stopped, postponed, or not commissioned at all due to the pandemic.

However, All for One Group SE responded quickly to the challenges and designed special quick-start package solutions, such as setting up short-time allowance systems or enabling digital collaboration in virtual teams working from home. Although these solutions were well received in the market, the unexpected sharp drops in demand were only compensated to a minor degree.

Cloud services and support sales amounted to € 77,088k (+9%), thus the core of the strategy offensive 2022 to increase recurring revenues is on a strong growth course. License sales declined by 38% to € 25,542k, following the overall market trend reinforced by pandemic-related delays of customer projects and a strong decline in licensing.

Overall, recurring revenues increased by 7% to € 186,391k.

These included besides the above-mentioned Cloud Services and Support revenues also Software Support revenues (+5% to € 109,303k). The ratio of recurring revenues to total sales increased to 52% (BY 2018/19: 49%). Despite COVID-19 and a generally weaker capacity utilization of consultants All for One Group SE was able to preserve the previous year's level of Consulting and Services revenues (BY 2019/20: € 143,460k). Total revenues amounted to € 355,393k and were 1% below the previous year's level of € 359,215k.

The EBIT of the business year 2019/20 amounted to € 19,287k (+53%). The previous year's EBIT in the amount of € 12,632k included one-time special cost (€ 7,000k) from the strategy offensive 2022. Thus, the previous year's comparative EBIT (without special cost) amounted to € 19,632k.

In October 2019 All for One Group SE placed promis-sory note bonds in the total amount of € 33,500k, split in two spot tranches with terms of six years (€ 7,500k) and eight years (€ 16,000k) and a forward loan with a maturity of 6.5 years. The forward loan will mainly be used to redeem a residual tranche of € 8,500k. The interest rates for all three tranches are fixed and range between 0.9% and 1.1%.

Plastic segment

Plastech Holding GmbH

With acquisition and transfer agreement of 3 October 2019 Unternehmens Invest AG acquired 10% of Plastech Holding GmbH from Otto Urbanek. Unterneh- mens Invest AG now holds 100% of Plastech Holding GmbH.

The volatility of decision makers is enormous due to the pandemic making forecasts extremely difficult. For the first half of the business year 2020/21

All for One Group SE anticipates a difficult market environment and large SAP S/4HANA projects may fail to materialize. From spring 2021 onwards the global pandemic is expected to ease significantly, leading to a noticeable upturn in incoming orders. All for One Group SE expects sales in the business year 2020/21 to increase slightly and the EBIT ranging between € 17,500k and € 20,500k.

The consolidated financial statements of Unter- nehmens Invest AG included revenues in the amount of € 355,393k for business year 2019/20. In the abridged business year 2019 revenues in the amount of € 265,031k for nine months were included.

In March 2020 Unternehmens Invest AG received a dividend payment in the amount of € 1,499k (€ 1.20 per share) from All for One Group SE.

As at 30 September 2020 Unternehmens Invest AG holds 1,248,823 shares (25.07%) of All for One Group SE.

UIAG Informatik-Holding GmbH

UIAG Informatik-Holding GmbH is a holding company for the acquisition and administration of company shareholdings. UIAG Informatik-Holding GmbH holds 1,248,873 shares (25.07%) of All for One Group SE (formerly: All for One Group AG).

In March 2020 received UIAG Informatik-Holding GmbH a dividend payment in the amount of € 1,499k (€ 1.20 per share) from All for One Group SE.

Plastech Holding GmbH and its 100% subsidiary Plastech Beteiligungs GmbH are holding companies for the acquisition and administration of industrial companies, for the management of associated com-panies and shareholdings of Plastech Holding Group, for the providing of services for these companies (group services) as well as in the field of management consultancy.

In business year 2019/20 Plastech Holding GmbH acquired 11.75% of the shares of Kautex Holding GmbH executing existing option rights. From the acquisition of Kautex Holding Group the UIAG Group still can exercise the option to acquire the remaining 13.3% of the shares.

In business year 2019/20 Plastech Holding Group achieved revenues in the amount of € 83,697k which is below the budgeted revenues. The EBIT of Pastech Holding Group in business year 2019/20 was negative and included impairments of goodwill and associated companies in the amount of € 9,863k.

Plastech Beteiligungs GmbH

Plastech Beteiligungs GmbH holds 74.95% of Kautex Holding GmbH. In total Plastech Holding Group holds 86.7% of the shares of Kautex Holding GmbH.

In March 2020 Unternehmens Invest AG acquired the bank loan of Plastech Beteiligungs GmbH with the nominal amount of € 14,000k (as at 30 September 2019) for a purchase price of € 8,400k by way of an earn-out agreement. Unternehmens Invest AG granted the amount as long-term shareholder loan to Plastech Beteiligungs GmbH.

The order intake was only slightly behind budget (-3%) even though the business year 2019/20 was charac-terized by distortions from the COVID-19 pandemic and an ongoing investment restraint in the automotive sector. However, revenues were more significantly behind budget (-10%) because of insufficient sales volumes and belated invoicing.

As at 30 September 2020 loans and borrowings in the amount of € 51,416k from Unternehmens Invest AG to Plastech Holding Group existed.

Kautex Holding Group

As already apparent in previous periods, order intake and revenues in the automotive segment remained significantly reduced. Therefore, the clear strategy and intensifying of activities in the segments packaging and specialties was crucial. This was also emphasized by Thomas Hartkämper - the new CEO of Kautex Holding Group, who is a proven expert in the packaging segment - and by the development of a roadmap for the business years 2019/20 and 2020/21 providing innovative solutions for energy and cost saving production in the segments consumer and industrial packaging for their customers.

The increased focus on the segments packaging and specialties reduces the dependency on the automotive segment as it might not experience an imminent recovery from the significant changes and the COVID-19 pandemic.

The measures for cost adjustment developed in the previous year were implemented consistently in 2019/20 and the defined savings goals were partly exceeded.

The Plastic segment achieved revenues in the amount of € 83,697k in 2019/20. The segment was burdened by the impairment of goodwill in the amount of € 6,050k and the impairment of the associated company BAGE Recycling GmbH in the amount of € 3,813k. The impair-ment of goodwill of Plastech Holding Group mainly resulted from the increased discount interest rate (WACC) at the record date 31 March 2020, which increased due to the current distortions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The valuation of the callable non-controlling shares (options for the remaining shares of Kautex Holding GmbH) resulted in a positive result of € 3,360k.

As at 30 September 2019 Plastech Holding GmbH held 25.1% of BAGE Recycling GmbH - a company specialized in the recycling of plastics from electronic waste and post-consumer fridge recycling. With acquisition and transfer agreement of 2 July 2020 the share was sold for € 1.00. In 2019/20 a pro rata negative result in the amount of € -594k and an impair- ment in the amount of € 3,813k as at 31 March 2020, mainly resulting from the significantly reduced earnings forecast for years ahead was recognized. The pricing pressure on recycling materials caused by the decline in demand for oil and the resulting lower oil price due to the COVID-19 pandemic increased considerably. As at 30 September 2020 the loan of Plastech Holding GmbH to BAGE Recycling GmbH in the amount of € 1,500k and current receivables in the amount of € 76k from interest settlement were written off completely since a cash return may not be expected due to the economically strained situation of the company.

Other segment

Pongratz Trailer-Group GmbH

Pongratz' customers in the most relevant markets were closed down for several weeks from mid-March 2020 onwards because of the federally mandated protective measures. After the reopening, a huge demand and strong order intake were registered. The increased demand continues whereby the order intake in December 2020 is considerably above the previous years'.

Material shortages on the part of the suppliers during the year caused production delays and conse-quently delivery delays for the customers of Pongratz Group. However, the material shortages for the most essential production components were solved - partially by new suppliers and partially by increased inventory.

The sales were behind budget because of the con- currence of the COVID-19 pandemic and the beginning of the main season in March. As already reported a comprehensive set of measures was implemented in the previous year to reduce cost and increase efficiency and partially compensated the margin loss from the sales decline.

UIAG Beteiligungs GmbH

UIAG Beteiligungs GmbH is a holding company for the acquisition and administration of shareholdings and holds 1% of Pongratz Trailer-Group GmbH.

BEGALOM Guss GmbH

In business year 2019/20 revenues and income increased compared to the previous year. The strategy and focus on quality and sophisticated components combined with a precise compliance with processes, continuous improvement and streamlining of efficiency provided sustainable economic success. The strategic focus on sophisticated and complex parts for prototypes and small series also had a positive effect.

As at March 2020, comprehensive measures for the safety of the employees, to ensure the liquidity and reduce fixed cost during the COVID-19 pandemic were implemented, such as adjusted shift working models, the bringing forward of vacations and adjusted produc-tion processes. For several months Pongratz Group implemented short-time working and received subsidies from short-time working grants. Also, deferral of taxes was used.

Despite the restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic Pongratz Group remained number one in the registration statistics for vehicle trailers in business year 2019/20 and maintained a stable market share of 36.4% in Austria. With the expansion of the sales team for Germany in the previous year the registration numbers of Pongratz Group in Germany increased by 29.5% and new key accounts were gained.

By the end of September 2020 Pongratz Group entered into new financing contracts for a total of € 1,000k. Thereof € 500k were granted by the "Oestereichische Kontrollbank" in form of a revolving export credit in the course of a special program to support export companies to reduce the impact from COVID-19, and a credit line of € 500k with a term of four years and a guarantee commitment was granted by the "Austria Wirtschaftsservice Gesellschaft m.b.H."

BEGALOM implemented comprehensive measures to protect employees, to ensure liquidity and reduce fixed cost during the COVID-19 pandemic. The employees were instructed regularly on the necessity to comply with the relevant sanitary measures, the workspaces were adjusted (partition walls for meeting rooms) and additional areas for production (additional working tables to increase distance) set up. Also, shift models were adjusted to reduce the number of employees that are at company's premises at the same time. Special attention was paid to the consequent compliance of the required minimum distance and the wearing of mouth-nose protection for both administra-tion and production staff.

The cost discipline of previous years supported this phase. In addition, during the months of April to June short-time working was implemented and the deferral of taxes used. Despite the enhanced measures in the core markets Austria and Germany significant order intakes were registered, therefore the order intake remains furtheron on very high level.

With the excellent starting position of the order intake, as well as the measures to reduce fixed cost during the COVID-19 pandemic and the budget surplus from the first half of the business year 2019/20 a positive operational result was achieved.

UIAG segment - individual company

In the business year 2019/29 Knünz GmbH and Nucleus Beteiligungs GmbH increased the credit line to Unternehmens Invest AG to a total of € 20,800k. As at 30 September 2020 € 18,420k were used. Bernd Neumann granted a long-term loan in the amount of € 4,000k to Unternehmens Invest AG in business year 2019/20.

Annual General Meeting of Unternehmens Invest AG Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the Annual General Meeting planned to be held on 18 March 2020 was postponed and held virtually on 16 June 2020.

The income from associated companies recognized at equity included the current income from the associated companies BAGE Recycling GmbH until the sale of the share in July 2020. In addition, the impairment of the share of BAGE Recycling GmbH as at 31 March 2020 was included.

The EBIT in business year 2019/20 amounted to € -16,926k (ABY 2019: € -19,838k) and was burdened by the impairment of Plastech Holding Group in the amount of € 6,050k (ABY 2019: € 18,084k) and the ordinary depreciation in the amount of € 5,058k (ABY 2019: € 7,125k) from the revaluation in the course of the purchase price allocation of Plastech Holding Group and UIAG Informatik-Holding Group.

Norbert Nagele was re-elected for two more years, until the Annual General Meeting on business year 2021/22. Otto Urbanek resigned from the Supervisory Board as at 10 August 2020. The Supervisory Board of Unternehmens Invest AG has now four members.

EARNINGS, ASSETS

AND FINANCIAL POSITION

The figures for the comparative period can only be compared to a limited extent because of the transition of the balance sheet date from 31 December to

30 September and the formation of an abridged business year for nine months from 1 January 2019 to 30 September 2019.

The financial result for the business year 2019/20 amounted to € -135k (ABY 2019: € 661k) and could be attributed to the interest income in the amount of € -5,614k (ABY 2019: € -4,240k) and in the amount of € 5,479k (ABY 2019: € 4,901k) to the other financial and participation result - which mainly included income from the repayment of financial liabilities in the amount of € 5,600k. As already explained, the loan of Plastech Beteiligungs GmbH (Plastic segment) with a nominal value of € 14,000k was acquired by Unternehmens Invest AG in March 2020 for an amount of € 8,400k by means of an earnout agreement. Unter- nehmens Invest AG continues to provide this loan to Plastech Beteilgungs GmbH as non-current share- holder loan.

In business year 2019/20 UIAG Group achieved revenues in the amount of € 467,607k (ABY 2019: € 368,476k), mainly from the segments IT (UIAG Informatik-Holding Group) and Plastic (Plastech Holding Group).

Results analysis

The result from the valuation of callable non-control- ling interests amounted to € 3,360k (ABY 2019: € 11,040k). The liability from callable non-controlling interests could be attributed to the remaining 13.3% (30 September 2019: 25.05%) share of Kautex Holding GmbH.

IT segment. These investments included additions of usage rights according to IFRS 16 in the amount of € 8,513k (ABY 2019: € 23,694k) which were non-cash effective. The additions of usage rights could also be mainly attributed to the IT segment.

Cash flow analysis

RISK REPORT

The consolidated cash flow from investment activities included investments in tangible assets and intangible assets. In the previous year the acquisition of subsidiaries less cash and cash equivalents was included. This could be attributed to the acquisition of Plastech Holding Group and UIAG Informatik- Holding Group which did not cause a cash outflow because of the contribution in kind.

The consolidated cash flow from operating activities in the business year 2019/20 amounted to € 28,352k (ABY 2019: € 17,896k).

The consolidated cash flow from financing activities amounted to € 23,463k (ABY 2019: € -2,435k). The proceeds from financial liabilities could be attributed to the IT segment. As already explained, All for One Group SE issued promissory note bonds in the amount of € 33,500k. The dividend payment was the dividend from All for One Group SE for non-controlling inter-ests. The transactions with non-controlling interests included the acquisition of 10% of the shares of Plastech Holding GmbH for € 540k in October 2019.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by € 43,454k to € 77,106k as at 30 September 2020.

EMPLOYEES

In business year 2019/20 UIAG Group had 2,631 employees (ABY 2019: 2,677 employees) on average.

UIAG's core business is the acquisition of equity stakes in companies and the financing of these com-panies. Like all types of risk financing, this business model includes above-average profit chances as well as the associated risks. The economic conduct of Unternehmens Invest AG and the recognizable value of its shareholdings in the balance sheet always depend on the economic development of the shareholdings and the stock market environment.

UIAG's business model takes the possibility of negative developments or even total loss of individual investments into account. The success of Unter-nehmens Invest AG must therefore be measured over a longer time period. All in all, the goal for investment financing projects is that long-term profits outweigh any losses. This results in an attractive return on investment over an extended time period. For details to financial instruments and financial risks please refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements, item (29) "Financial risks".

The Management Board and the Supervisory Board are informed about the risks that may considerably influence the business development on a regular basis. UIAG's financing requirements for business year 2020/21 can - from today's point of view - be met from capital resources and an increase of loans of Knünz GmbH and Nucleus Beteiligungs GmbH.

The Management Board and the employees operate in a corporate culture which is the key element of the control environment. The company strives to improve communication and to convey the principal corporate values. The responsibilities for the internal control system were adjusted for the corporate organization to ensure a satisfying control environ-ment that meets the requirements.

The Management Board is responsible for the implementation and organization of the accounting-related internal control and risk management system and the compliance with the legal requirements.

The Management Board is responsible for the con- figuration of the hierarchy levels to ensure that activity and control of the activity are executed by different persons (principle of dual control).

In December 2020, the Oesterreichische National- bank AG (OeNB) issued their macroeconomic forecast for Austria for 2020 to 2023. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic a decline of the real gross domestic product (GDP) of 7.1% for 2020 and a growth of 3.6%, 4.0% respectively 2.2% may be expected for the years 2021 to 2023 under the presumption that a third wave of infection in spring 2021 can be avoided and that until the end of 2021 a medical solution is success-fully implemented.

Only by mid 2022 the real GDP might reach the pre-crisis level. During the summer months the Austrian economy recovered faster than expected from the deep economic downturn, however, the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in fall slowed the interim recovery again. The OeNB expects a significantly lower decline of the economic performance from the second lockdown than from the first one in spring 2020.

The reasons for the lower impact are minor disruptions of the global supply chains, no closures of production, learning effects and minor insecurities and a stronger optimism in the light of the imminent medical solution.

With the beginning of 2021 vaccines will be available, however an effective global implementation will take time and will probably not be completed before the beginning of 2022. Only a gradual relaxing of regulations is expected. The economic activity will be burdened by the pandemic in the first quarter 2021 and still - also slightly less - in the second quarter of 2021 (source: OeNB, 11 December 2020).

For 2021 the VDMA (Mechanical Engineering

Industry) expects an increase in production of 4% after the COVID-19 crisis year and the anticipated decline of production. However, this forecast is rather uncertain, since mechanical and plant engineering is particularly affected by the uncertainties of the global economy. Protectionism and fast structural changes of the important customer industry vehicle construction are added. Still, the VDMA sees potential in the economic accelerating after COVID-19, the speed-up of the technological change and the climate protection, which remains a European key objective.

The global risk increases considerably from extensive effects of the COVID-19 pandemic but also from the economic and political developments caused by trade barriers and geopolitical tensions, high insecurity from the Brexit and the decline in demand in the automotive industry. These factors burden the core markets (Austria, Germany, Switzerland, USA and China) of Unternehmens Invest AG and its shareholdings.

The mechanical engineering industry and the auto-motive industry depend heavily on exports and their development is defined by the global sales and procurement markets and their market access. Social developments like the advancing e-mobility and tighter regulatory requirements for climate protection, energy management and pollutant emission can influence the business development. The considera- tion of sustainability aspects such as the compliance with environmental, social, and ethical standards, changes of laws and regulations and their interpre-tation for tax and accounting and the overall increasing of regulations for capital market-oriented companies may cause risks.

IT segment

The risk situation for All for One Group SE changed further and more decisively than previously expected because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Risks associated with social, political, overall economic and regulatory developments are considered "high". After a severe macroeconomic slump in 2020 economy shall pick up again in 2021. The high transformation pressure will continue, and the digitalization of business processes and business models will increase.

In the environment of volatile markets, the economic risks for the business performance of All for One Group SE is high. Measures to contain COVID-19 may be sustained for longer periods and might deepen the global recession. For the Austrian, German and Swiss market, and in particular with regard to export-dependent key industries as mechanical engineering and construction and the automotive industry, the effects of the future economic development are extremely difficult to assess.

a mid- and long-term trend. All for One Group SE aligns their range of service and organization with the dynamics of these trends.

The already completed initialization of the strategy offensive 2022 is the basis for profitable growth for All for One Group SE to emerge from the COVID-19 crisis in a stronger competitive standing than before as soon as the markets have recovered.

Plastic segment

The COVID-19 crisis and its effects hugely affect the mechanical engineering and construction industry and the German VDMA expects a production slump of 14% for 2020. In addition, trade barriers and geopolitical tensions and significant changes impede the global investment decisions and in particular the automotive sector. The political and economic development is a risk for the production sites and the relevant buyer markets.

The deep recession caused by the COVID-19 pandemic increases the risks of bad debt and customer insol-vencies. Insolvencies among the customer base are to be expected. Finance and liquidity risks are considered "medium" as the refinancing of All for One Group SE might become increasingly difficult depending on the development of the capital markets. However, All for One Group SE is confident to comply with the covenants governing the promissory note bonds.

Project realization might have to face significant impediments in future. Risk-mitigating is the fact that projects may be postponed temporarily but are unlikely to be suspended permanently because of the increas-ing pressure to implement digitalization. The remote implementation of major projects is already increasing.

The digitalization of workflows, the generation change to the new enterprise software SAP S/4HANA combined with departmental solutions from the cloud will continue during COVID-19 and remainKautex Holding Group has sites in Germany, China and the USA which were affected to varying degrees over the course of the pandemic. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic the plant in China was partic-ularly affected. The measures implemented there to avoid negative impacts for employees and production were adopted later also in the plants in Germany and the USA. The decentralized organizational structure of commissioning and service made it possible to support customers on-site during the phase of com-prehensive travel restrictions.

Market risks are caused by an increasingly weakening economy and the development of the COVID-19 pandemic. The segments packaging and specialties were already put into focus in the previous year to reduce the dependency of the automotive sector. Both sectors currently register an increased demand for hygiene products.

As already reported, Plastech Holding Group cannot escape the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic either and registers postponements of machine orders and machine acceptances. The risk of further postpone- ments is considered "high". Since March 2020 remote machine acceptances were introduced, which were accepted very positively by the customers of Kautex Holding Group. The capacities in the Plastic segment were adjusted in the business year 2019/20 to meet the current and future expected order intake, the process organization to strengthen the customer orientation and faster innovation procedures were further optimized and distribution and production processes advanced.

In addition to the effects from the COVID-19 pandemic the ongoing trade disputes between China and USA might cause higher tariffs and trade barriers burden the global investment decisions which increase the eco- nomic risks for 2020 and 2021 considerably compared to previous years.

Depending on the duration of the recession in the most important global industrialized countries negative effects on the growth plans of Plastech Holding Group and the compliance with financial figures may be affected negatively, which is an additional risk for the group.

Furthermore, the Plastic segment depends on the exchange rate development of the US Dollar, in particular regarding the exports to USA. However, currency risks are hedged and therefore the risk is considered "low".

The elevated risks from a possible increase of bad debts were met by hedging of large-scale orders.

Comprehensive measures to adjust cost and secure liquidity were already resolved in the previous year and now implemented to counteract the increased financial and liquidity risks. Depending on the develop- ment of the COVID-19 pandemic and its global effects the budget auf Kautex Holding Group may deviate.

This may lead to a breach of agreed financial key figures and credit liabilities. Even if the EBIT of Kautex Holding Group declines by 50% in business year 2020/21 compared to the original planning, Kautex Holding Group will be able to achieve an EBIT that corresponds to the financial key figures from Septem-ber 2021 on. The risk is considered "medium".

Other segment

The main risk for the Other segment is material shortage caused by delivery delays as already noted during the business year. Therefore, the stock level of essential vendor parts was increased to meet material shortages in production early on. The risk is considered "high".

Pongratz Group is at risk from further governmental mandated closing of dealers. As already reported distributors of Pongratz Group in all significant markets were closed for several weeks in mid-March 2020.

Consequently, distribution might be affected strongly.

The risk is classified as "medium".

The negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic might postpone new developments in the automotive sector which is a risk of order income for BEGALOM. The risk is considered "medium".

In production the risk that a machine already sold to a customer does not perform as was contractually promised exists. This risk is countered by stringent risk analysis as early as in the bidding phase. The risk is considered "low".

UIAG segment

The risk for UIAG is the impairment of goodwill or other financial assets if the current estimates and planning regarding the development and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic change. Also, the risk of increased impairment caused by capital cost based on the impair-ment tests may rise.

An annual medical examination and regular visits by a safety specialist are carried out at the share- holdings. Safety officers and first aiders are appointed at the subsidiaries.

The primary target of the business development is the increase of the enterprise value and profitable growth. The required planning and related measures for the steering of the shareholdings derives from the long-term business planning.

Environmental, social and employee issues

Unternehmens Invest AG and its shareholdings strive for a sustainable growth of the company value considering all relevant, economic, ecologic, and social aspects. The sustainable development of the holding company and its shareholdings is supported to comply with the responsibilities towards employees, customers, suppliers, society, and environment. This is supported by management decisions that consider community interests and social responsibility, as well as the active involvement of employees in various decisions of the group shareholdings.

The shareholdings meet the environmentally relevant requirements, statutory provisions, regulations, and notifications. Employees are thoroughly informed on environmental, health and security concerns.

The development of sustainable technology and the continuous improvement of all production processesWhereas BEGALOM and Pongratz Group have the medical examination and checks from the safety specialists outsourced to the Austrian Social Insurance for Occupational Risks (AUVA), Kautex Holding Group in Germany has a medical officer on site. For the workplace health promotion of their employees Kautex Holding Group set up a plan for 2021 to support their employees' fitness. The program includes cooperation with fitness centers and outdoor sports parks.

With the current business year UIAG group imple- mented the health index as an indicator for employee matters. The health index is calculated as follows: "100% minus the ratio of number of days off sick to target workdays in the reporting period". As at 30 September 2020, the health index for each segment was as follows:

¹) The Plastic segment only considers the site in Germany, since it has the majority of employees

Trainings in the respective departments and a con-tinuing education of soft skills are organized by means of training plans or whenever required. In addition, suggestions for further education from employees are considered. Trainings regarding new developments in compliance, IT-security and data security are made as needed.

Kautex Holding Group established a qualification catalog offering their employees education opportunities apart from the training in their respective departments that includes leadership qualification and intercultural training. Kautex Holding Group also supports individual qualification activities of their employees with trainings such as "from employee to manager" or "from unskilled worker to warehouse logistics specialist", but also the extra-professional business studies. As at 30 Septem-ber 2020 Kautex Holding Group employs 19 apprentices and offers numerous possibilities for training profes- sions (e.g. electronic technicians for industrial engineer-ing, industrial technician).

To promote the compatibility of work and family, employees are offered the opportunity to take part-time work on a temporary basis or to share parental leave.

The employees by country break down as follows in the business year 2019/20:

Employees by country in 2019/20

USA 0.6%Others 5.2%Austria 7.4%

Germany 76.2%

Effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on employee issues

The business year 2019/20 was characterized by the significant consequences of the global COVID-19 pandemic in terms of employee matters. The pandemic has changed the way we work considerably.

In the business year 2019/20, the employees were distributed by segment as follows:

Employees by segment in 2019/20

Other segment 8.2%UIAG segment 0.3%

Plastic segment 21.6%

Wherever possible the shareholdings offered the opportunities of flexibilie working hours and working place. Employees were encouraged to work in home- office and reduce their working hours at the office. The possibility to work remote and to hold trainings online or video conferences reduced the travel activity considerably. The increased digitalization of business processed reduced e.g. the demand for paper and print volumes.

IT segment 69.9%

Currently a home-office concept is developed to offer the employees the opportunity to take up the changed working style in the home-office even after the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. The concept will differ depending on the requirements of the respective share-holding.

NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

In March 2020 the production facilities started to work on concepts to ensure a production compliant with security measures for the employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. The employees were informed in detail about all COVID-19 measures. The various safety measures (disinfectant, FFP2 masks) are pro- vided, and hygiene measures were increased (cleaning, disinfection and airing). The employees of the share-holdings were instructed how to contact customers and suppliers and encouraged to hold virtual meetings.

Wherever possible shift working hours were adjusted to avoid overlapping.

BEGALOM shortened the shifts by one hour to avoid overlapping between the shifts and adjusted the break times. Pongratz implemented a comprehensive and detailed safety program for the production workers, e.g. modulated work time and separation of work places. Kautex Holding Group adjusted the shifts in production and enables home-office for 200 employees.

The Austrian companies applied for the government support of short-time work to avoid the reduction of employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. BEGALOM, Pongratz Group and UIAG implemented short-time work and received approximately € 403k of subsidies for short-time work.

The increase of efficiency and a preferably thorough utilization of raw materials and their recycling into the material cycle are an important aspect. BEGALOM optimized their production processes and can use up to 100% of the recycling aluminum with the same quality from their own production. Additionally, BEGALOM has renewed the system for compressed air supply. The new system consumes less energy by producing the same amount of air and the integral controls ensures an efficient operation.

Pongratz Group is in the process of implementing a Supply Chain Management and develops a new material flow system to optimize the work-related and infrastructural processes which shall include the auditing of suppliers in future. Also, the switch to climate-neutral production is evaluated. The aluminum scrap from the trailer production is already recycled completely.

The COC-certification of the Pongratz trailers confirms their compliance with EU regulations. DEKRA and KBA (Federal Motor Transport Authority) certifications ensure the compliance of the production with the requirements of the traffic law and the requirements of the KBA. Pongratz is also founding member of the TIV (Trailer Industrie Verband).

The standardization and constant development of processes reduces scrap and waste in production, adjusts cycle time and reduces cost for energy.

Environmental issues

The production processes of the shareholdings are evaluated, developed, and standardized constantly. Certifications exist in several sectors, production pro- cesses at BEGALOM are certified according to ISO 9001.

Environmental compatibility and the possibility of energy saving are considered whenever new production equipment and machinery are acquired.

Kautex Holding Group is working on innovations in the packaging segment. Plastic is considered recyclable material. Research and development are focused on sustainability, recycling and digitalization. Recent developments are new technologies that reduce the energy and material consumption in production considerably. The development of a new generation of extrusion heads shortens the time needed to change the color for the production of colored packaging (e.g. for shampoo) by one third. This reduces not only the conversion time and energy cost but also the material required for the color change.

Another newly developed production technology makes it possible to foam the center layer of blow mould parts in multiple layer blow molds and reduce the material. Kautex Holding Group was able to keep the physical properties of the parts and at the same time to reduce the weight and material used.

Kautex also develops solutions for the usage of recycled plastic to increase the sustainability of products produced with machines from Kautex Holding Group in future.

Kautex is member of the R-Cycle initiative. R-Cycle ensures the recyclability of plastic by documentation of recycling-relevant packaging properties. In the recycling process, packaging can thus be precisely identified to process the resulting recyclate into diverse and high-quality plastic products. A cloud-based database can follow the entire value chain to the raw materials used. Thus, the composition of the plastic is more transparent with is an important prerequisite for efficient recycling.

The working climate shall be based on mutual trust, everybody shall be treated with dignity and respect and people from different cultures and different personal background shall be appreciated. As an international company UIAG Group appreciates the diversity that is present in the culture, language and ideas of the employees.

The UIAG Group bans sexual harassment in any form e.g. by advances, demeaning comments, jokes, foul language, suggestive gestures or the display- ing relevant visual material in the office and produc- tion premises of UIAG Group. Such behavior might be considered harassment even if it was not meant.

These principles also apply to conduct towards external partners.

In the business year 2019/20 no indications of maladministration have been reported and there are currently no increased risks of negative effects on business activities.

OUTLOOK

The current dynamic development of the COVID-19 pandemic strongly affects the global economic development and sets the framework for the business performance of Unternehmens Invest AG. The progress of Unternehmens Invest AG depends strongly on the development of its shareholdings. The business year 2020/21 is burdened with significant uncertainties from the COVID-19 pandemic and the global economic development.

Out of necessity we have to refer in our assessment of the situation to a certain time since economic forecasts that were made only weeks ago have to be revised because of new lockdowns and our perception is a snapshot only.

Our shareholdings operate in a multitude of markets and regions and the disruptions in the individual segments, above all in the automotive sector, and in several geographical markets affected them in different ways and varying intensity.

China and the USA send positive economic signals and the order intake there shows a slight upturn, the economic dynamics in Europe are significantly slower. We expect it to take several years until the pre-crisis level might be achieved again.

All for One Group SE assumes that the difficult market environment is likely to continue in the first half of 2020/21 and huge SAP S/4HANA projects to be post-poned, before the order intake might increase again in spring 2021 if the global pandemic eases. In total All for One Group SE expects an EBIT of € 17,500k to € 20,500k for business year 2020/21 and a slight increase in sales.

OUTLOOK

Unternehmens Invest AG will continue to consis-tently support its shareholdings in the business year 2020/21 in facing the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic effects. The further diversification of sales markets combined with an expansion of the product portfolio and the consequent implementation of measures to increase efficiency shall enable our shareholdings to meet their defined goals for business year 2020/21.

Our business is based on a mid-term to long-term planning horizon. Although the forecast for 2020/21 is cautious because of the dynamic COVID-19 infection development and the severe economic consequences, we assess the mid-term development potential of our portfolio shareholdings positively.

(II) SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION AND CONSOLIDATION METHODS

Currency translation

The items recognized in the financial statements of the consolidated entities in the group are validated based on the respective functional currency. The reporting currency of the consolidated financial statements of UIAG Group is Euro (€). Amounts are stated in thousand Euro (€k) and rounded according to the commercial rounding method. Where rounded amounts and percentages are aggregated, rounding differences may occur.

The currency translation of financial statements of foreign currency companies into the group currency is executed at the exchange rate at balance sheet date and in the income statement at the average exchange rate of the reporting period.

Exchange rate differences from the translation of monetary foreign currency items in the individual financial state-ments, arising from exchange rate fluctuations between the time of recognition of the transaction and the balance sheet date are recognized in the income statement of the respective period. Translation gains are recognized in the other operating income, translation losses in the other operating expenses.

The functional currency of consolidated companies that are not part of the European Monetary Union is their local currency. At balance sheet date assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the record date rate into Euro. Income and expenses are converted at the floating annual average rate of the business year. Currency trans- lation differences from translation changes between business years are recognized in equity without affecting the net income.

Non-monetary items recognized at cost are translated using the historical exchange rate in the individual financial statements.

Scope of consolidation and consolidation methods

The domestic and foreign subsidiaries Unternehmens Invest AG exercises control over in accordance with IFRS 10 are included in the consolidated financial statements. The accounting of the companies included in the consolidated financial statements is based on standardized accounting principles. Therefore, the financial statements prepared according to the country specific and international specifications are adjusted to the standardized group accounting principles.

All intercompany receivables and liabilities, debts, revenues and expenses as well as cash flows from business transactions from consolidated companies were eliminated upon consolidation. Income tax effects are taken into account and deferred taxes are recognized during consolidation processes affecting the income.

Capital consolidation is carried out using the acquisition method according to IFRS 3. For each acquisition it is determined individually whether the partial-goodwill method or the full-goodwill method is applied. The goodwill is reviewed for impairment annually. The negative goodwill is recognized directly in the consolidated income statement.

Non-controlling shares of the equity capital of the consolidated companies are listed as a separate item in the group's equity. The positive and negative goodwill differences from transactions with non-controlling shareholders are offset against provisions.

Using the equity method, the shares in associated companies are recognized at cost in the consolidated financial statements plus the changes of the group's share in the net assets of the associated company after acquisition.

The goodwill of a company assessed at equity is included in the share of the carrying amount and not listed separately.

The test for a possible impairment follows the regulations in accordance with IA 28 and is executed annually or as warranted if necessary.

Income tax effects are considered for consolidation processes affecting the income statement and deferred taxes recognized where appropriate.

Estimates and uncertainties in cases of discretionary decisions and assumptions

To a certain extent, estimates and discretionary decisions have to be made in the consolidated financial state- ments. These have an impact on the balance sheet assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the reporting of expenses and income in the business year.

The key estimates, assessments and discretionary decisions are subject to heightened uncertainty because of the global economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic which intensified in December 2019, makes its effects on the global economy still difficult to assess. Consequently, the amounts actually arising in future might deviate from the assessments.

Unternehmens Invest AG continuously reviews the estimates and discretionary decisions made. Changes of estimates and discretionary decisions are recognized in the income statement if more accurate insight is gained.

The COVID-19 pandemic may affect the accounting and valuation of various scopes of the consolidated financial statements of Unternehmens Invest AG and may impede discretionary decisions and increase uncertainties. These possible effects are explained in the respective notes to the consolidated financial statements, in particular in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, item (13) "Intangible assets, goodwill, tangible assets, impairment and lease" and item (18) "Trade receivables, other receivables and other current assets".

Discretionary decisions and uncertainties exist in particular:

- on the evaluation of goodwill and other intangible assets (notes to the consolidated financial statements, item (13) "Intangible assets, goodwill, tangible assets, impairment and lease"),

-

on the evaluation of the lease terms, if the execution of renewal options is reasonably certain (notes to the consolidated financial statements, item (13) "Intangible assets, goodwill, tangible assets, impairment and lease"),

  • - on the evaluation of receivables and inventories (notes to the consolidated financial statements, items (17) "Inventories" and (18) "Trade receivables, other receivables and other current assets"),

  • - on the recognition and evaluation of long-term employee benefit obligations, provisions for guarantees, warranties and impending losses (notes to the consolidated financial statements, items (24) "Personnel obligations", (25) "Other non-current liabilities" and (28) "Provisions"),

  • - the assessment of the realizability of deferred taxes (notes to the consolidated financial statements, item (15) "Deferred tax assets and tax liabilities") and

  • - the realization of revenues (notes to the consolidated financial statements, item (01) "Revenues").

Going concern

There are no indications that require deviation from the assumption of going concern. As at 30 September 2020 the equity of Unternehmens Invest AG amounts to € 183,548k (equity ratio 35.18%) and cash and cash equivalent amount to € 77,106k. In addition, a positive cash flow is reported (see "Consolidated cash flow statement").

(III) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INCOME STATEMENT

The consolidated income statement is prepared using the total cost method. Due to the transition of the balance sheet date from 31 December to 30 September and the forming of an abridged business year 2019 (9 months,

1 January to 30 September 2019) the previous year's figures can only be compared to a limited extent. The business year 2019/20 comprises the period of twelve months from 1 October 2019 to 30 September 2020.

(01) REVENUES

Accounting and valuation methods

Revenue recognition

Apart from customer specific project orders the revenues are recognized at the time the customer gains control over the agreed finished goods and merchandise. Generally, at the time of delivery of the goods or merchandise.

Revenue recognition in the IT segment derives from the sale of software licenses and other IT products at the transfer of use. Revenues in the Plastic segment are recognized for the delivery of spare parts and installation services at the time the goods or merchandise are delivered according to incoterms (transfer of the goods to the carrier or free alongside ship), the services were rendered (usually existence of acceptance protocol), or the legal ownership and the risk of loss according to the incoterms agreed, was transferred. Invoices for the performed services are due immediately or have short-term payment due dates up to 60 days.

Contract assets are recognized in the balance sheet in the item "Other assets" respectively "Other liabilities" and divided by maturity.

For the cost of contract acquisition UIAG Group exercises the option of immediate recognition of expenses provided that the amortization period would be less than one year. The cost of contract acquisition is recognized in the balance sheet under "Other assets" and classified according to term.

Project orders

Project orders are customer-specific services without alternative use; therefore, a period-based revenue recognition is applied. The stage of completion is determined according to the ratio of cost incurred to the estimated overall cost using the cost-to-cost method.

If an unconditional claim of consideration exists trade receivables are recognized. Otherwise, the receivables are recognized as contract asset less partial payments received. The balancing is based on the individual agreements. If the partial payments received of a contract exceed the contract asset a contract liability is recognized. If impending losses arise from a contract, they are recognized as provisions.

Estimates and assumptions

In regard to revenue recognition significant discretionary judgments are made when determining the contract unit for accounting purposes (contract collation), when defining separate performance obligations, when determining the timing of completion of the performance obligations (together with determination of the method for measuring performance progress where applicable), when determining individual sales prices, when assessing significant financing components and when capitalizing contract acquisition cost.

Estimates are required to determine the total cost. In case of customer-specific and time-phased consultancy projects in the IT segment the input-based efforts expended method is basically most suitable to measure performance progress since a direct connection between consultancy services already provided by UIAG Informatik-Holding Group (e.g. consultancy hours worked up to closing date) and the transfer of the right of disposal to customer exists. In the Plastic segment the time-phased revenue recognition is made depending on the stage of completion for machinery made to custom order. The stage of completion is determined according to cost incurred to expected total cost (cost-to-cost method). The profit from the manufacturing order is realized based on the determined stage of completion. The assessments regarding the estimated total cost, the estimated total revenues, the order-related risks (including technical, political, and regulatory risks) and the performance progress are based on empirical values and are continuously assessed and adjusted.

Contract acquisition cost: Determining both the scope of the contract acquisition cost to be capitalized and the amortization period can involve considerable discretionary judgement in individual instances. UIAG Group choose the method of immediate recognition of expenses if the period of amortization would be less than one year.

The revenues of the individual segments according to region are as follows:

The bank loan of Plastech Beteiligungs GmbH (Plastic segment) with the nominal amount of € 14,000k was acquired by Unternehmens Invest AG in March 2020 for a purchase price of € 8,400k by way of an earn-out agreement. Unter- nehmens Invest AG grants the amount as long-term shareholder loan to Plastech Beteiligungs GmbH. Therefore, the consolidated financial statements show an income from the repayment of financial debt in the amount of € 5,600k.

The earn-out agreement defines that the difference between the nominal amount and the preliminary purchase price with stipulated discounts must be paid if Kautex Holding Group (Plastic segment) achieves defined earnings targets. The estimated probable amount of recovery must be recognized as provision, whereby the estimate at 30 September 2020 does not account for a subsequent payment.

In the previous year the other financial and participation result mainly included the result from the re-evaluation of the shares of UIAG Informatik-Holding GmbH, All for One Group SE and Plastech Holding GmbH as at 31 December 2018, which amounted to € 2,602k. In addition, the result from the sale of the associated company LCS Holding

GmbH in the amount of € 2,025k and the dividend received for the business year 2018 after the sale of the shareholding in the amount of € 276k.

(11) INCOME FROM THE VALUATION OF CALLABLE NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

The option rights agreed in the course of the acquisition of Kautex Holding Group allow UIAG Group to acquire or sell the remaining 13.3% (30 September 2019: 25.05%) of the shares. In the current business year 11.75% of shares of Kautex Holding Group were acquired at a purchase price of € 421k. From the evaluation at balance sheet date an amount of € 3,360k (ABY 2019: € 11,040k) was recognized in the income statement. For further information on the accounting and valuation methods refer to the notes of the consolidated financial statements, item (25) "Other non-current liabilities".

During the period of 1 October 2019 through 30 September 2020 aperiodical taxes in the amount of € 289k arose.

The Austrian tax rate of 25% was applied as group tax rate in the reporting period. The tax rates applied for the calculation of deferred taxes on group level was 25%.

In accordance with the group and tax compensation agreement of 28 August 2019 a tax group of companies was established with Unternehmens Invest AG as group parent. Members of the tax group are currently Plastech Holding GmbH, Plastech Beteiligungs GmbH, UIAG Informatik-Holding GmbH, BEGALOM Guss GmbH and Pongratz Trailer-Group GmbH.

The taxable results of the group members are attributed to the group parent. A taxable revenue adjustment between the group parent and the group members is administered by tax compensation agreements.

(IV) NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

(13) INTANGIBLE ASSETS, GOODWILL, TANGIBLE ASSETS, IMPAIRMENT AND LEASE

Accounting and valuation methods

Intangible assets

Goodwill: In accordance with IAS 36 goodwill shall not be subject to scheduled amortization but to an annual impairment test - whether or not impairment is indicated. Cash generating units (CGU) to which a goodwill has been allocated are BEGALOM, Plastech Holding Group (Plastic segment) and UIAG Informatik-Holding Group (IT segment). The impairment test compares the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit to the carrying amount includ-ing goodwill, corresponding to the higher of the net selling price or value in use. If required, the operating assets are impaired to the lower value in use unless a higher fair value less costs to sell is available.

To determine the recoverable amount of the cash generating units the capital value oriented discounted cash flow method (DCF method) was used. Based on cash flows derived from the current mid-term planning for the next three respectively four business years.

Trademark rights, customer relationships and other intangible assets: Trademark rights are corporate brands acquired through business combinations that generally do not have a life cycle, e.g. product brands, customer relation-ships and other intangible assets.

Customer relationships refer to customer bases acquired through business combinations.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets are evaluated at acquisition cost less cumulative depreciation and impairment expenses. Gains and losses from the disposal are recognized in the operating income and expenses.

Interest on debt were not recognized in business year 2019/20 since no qualified assets were acquired.

Accounting of lease

Lease payments are discounted with the interest rate that is implied by the lease if it can be determined. Otherwise, they are discounted with an incremental borrowing rate. Usually, the group uses the incremental borrowing rate as discounting rate.

Subsequent valuation is made at amortized cost. For the depreciation to usage rights over the term of the contract the straight-line depreciation method is applied.

For low-value lease objects and short-term lease contracts (less than twelve months) facilitations for implementation are applied and payments recognized as an expense in the income statement using the straight-line method.

Several leases, for real estate in particular, include options for renewal and termination. These options allow utmost flexibility. Upon determination of contract term all facts are considered that provide economic incentive to execute the option for renewal or the non-execution of the option for termination. Changes of contract term from the execution respectively non-execution of such options are only considered if they are reasonably certain.

Lease receivables recognize amounts to be paid by lessees from lease agreements in the amount of the net invest-ment of the lease contracts. The income from lease is allocated to the respective reporting period to ensure a constant periodic rate of interest of the outstanding net investments from lease.

Government grants

Government grants are taken into account as soon as there is assurance that they will be received and accounted for based on the depreciation of the underlying asset. Unternehmens Invest AG did not receive any considerable govern- ment grants in the business year 2019/20. Government grants are reported as other non-current liabilities.

Other subsidies from public funds to reimburse the group for costs are recognized as other operating income in the period in which the related costs are incurred, unless the grant is contingent on conditions that are not yet sufficiently likely to be met. In the business year 2019/20 the Other segment and the UIAG segment received short-time allowance in the amount of € 403k (ABY 2019: € 0k).

The useful lives for acquired intangible assets were determined as follows:

Trademark rights

Unlimited

Customer relationships

7 to 10 years

Other

1 to 15 years

Useful life

Goodwill: Assumptions to determine the value of assets are made. The annual review by means of impairment tests and sensitivity analysis is described in the following:

The COVID-19 pandemic and its uncertainties regarding the effect on the free cash flows were indicators for impair-ment as at 31 March 2020 and 30 September 2020 and therefore a trigger for impairment testing of the assets in the balance sheet. The impairment testing of goodwill for the respective CGU is based on future-related assumptions which are subject to significant uncertainties because of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic which are not clearly foreseeable. In particular, assumptions regarding duration and scope of the effects on the performance planning of the respective CGU are subject to considerable uncertainties. Estimates and assumptions are made based on the best available information and on the mid-term planning that gives the most likely and most realistic picture on the economic effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the respective CGU from the view of the UIAG Management Board.

Tangible assets

Tangible assets have the following useful lives:

Useful life

Buildings

10 to 50 years

Technical equipment and machinery

3 to 10 years

Furniture and office equipment

3 to 13 years

Lease

Some real estate lease agreements include options for renewal (and include the subsequent automatic extension of lease periods) after the end of the basic term, which were not included in the evaluation of lease liabilities. The exercise of this option is not reasonably certain and may cause undiscounted potential cash outflows in the amount of € 59,800k. The calculation of these possible payment obligation is based on the economic useful life of the relevant real estate.

A detailed classification of intangible and tangible assets and their development in the business year 2019/20 and their comparative period that are combined in the balance sheet can be found in the consolidated assets schedule.

In the course of the first-time consolidation of BEGLAOM Guss GmbH (business year 2015) and Plastech Holding Group and UIAG Informatik-Holding Group (both in January 2019) the following goodwill was identified:

Goodwill impairment tests

In business year 2019/20 the impairment tests for the goodwill of the cash generating units BEGALOM, Plastech Holding Group and UIAG Informatik-Holding Group were performed at the record dates 31 March 2020 and

30 September 2020. The impairment tests were performed on each of the record dates since the COVID-19 pandemic is an impairment trigger for Unternehmens Invest AG at these record dates.

Impairment tests as at 31 March 2020

As already explained the COVID-19 pandemic and the related uncertainties regarding expected negative effects on the free cash flows constitute an impairment trigger as at 31 March 2020. Consequently, the goodwill of the CGU BEGALOM, CGU Plastech Holding Group, CGU UIAG Informatik-Holding Group were tested for impairment. The value in use of a cash generating unit is calculated using the discounted cash flow method based on a pre-tax WACC. The WACC as at 31 March 2020 increased considerably compared to 30 September 2019. The value in use of a cash generating unit is calculated using the discounted cash flow method based on a pre-tax WACC. The WACC is 9.02% (ABY 2019: 7.39%) for the CGU BEGALOM, 10.84% (ABY 2019: 9.95%) for the CGU Plastech Holding Group (Plastic segment) and for the CGU UIAG Informatik-Holding Group (IT segment) 9.14% (ABY 2019: 8.41%). The discounting rate is based on the average weighted capital cost of the corresponding peer group.

The cash flows for the impairment tests are based on the current mid-term planning as authorized by the Manage-ment Board and adjusted to expected effects from the COVID-19 pandemic. The planning period for the CGU BEGALOM is 2.5 years (30 September 2019: 3 years). The mid-term planning period for Plastech Holding Group and UIAG Informatik-Holding Group is 3.5 years, since sustainable earnings level will be achieved after the planning year only. After the detailed planning period and corresponding to previous years the cash flows of the last planning period are - based on the principle of going concern - used to calculate a perpetual annuity, using a growth discount of 1.0%

(30 September 2019: 1.0%) and the assumption of convergence.

The values in use determined for the CGU BEGALOM and the CGU UIAG Informatik-Holding GmbH are above the carrying amount. The value in use determined for Plastech Holding Group amounted to € 6,050k (ABY 2019: € 18,084k) and is below the carrying amount (before impairment), therefore impairment of € 6,050k was recognized in profit or loss for the goodwill of the CGU. Consequently, the recoverable amount corresponds to the carrying amount.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

This impairment of the CGU Plastech Holding Group results mainly from the raised WACC at the reporting date 31 March 2020, which increased because of the distortions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The CGU Plastech Holding Group was affected by the postponement of machine orders and acceptances because of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic the plant in China was particularly affected, later on also the plant in Germany was affected by the measures implemented to avoid the spreading of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The original planning was adjusted, and the revenues slightly reduced. The segment automotive remained behind expectations which was enhanced by the continuing investment reticence due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

As at 31 March 2020 an impairment loss in the amount of € 1,121k for Pongratz Group was determined, whereby the impairment loss concerns intangible and tangible assets. The value in use of a cash generating unit is calculated using the discounted cash flow method based on a pre-tax WACC. The WACC at the reporting date 31 March 2020 is 7.81% (30 September 2019: 6.77%). The impairment recognized results from an increased WACC as at 31 March 2020 and the adjusted planning. The planning the impairment is based on was extended due to the current challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic because a sustainable earnings level will only be achieved after the planning year. As at 31 March 2020 suppliers in the most relevant markets were closed down for several weeks because of the federally mandated protective measures. This closing had a negative effect on the planning because in March usually starts the main season for Pongratz. Because of the increased uncertainties it is hard to provide a more specific forecast regarding the further development from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The profit share from the associated companies recognized at equity include the current result form BAGE Recycling GmbH and the impairment of the share of BAGE Recycling GmbH in the amount of € 3,813k recognized at 31 March 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic caused an impairment trigger, therefore the share of the associated company

BAGE Recycling GmbH was tested for impairment. The planning the impairment test is based on comprises a planning period of 3.5 years. The value in use of BAGE Recycling GmbH is calculated using the discounted cash flow method based on a pre-tax WACC. The WACC is 9.94% at 31 March 2020. The impairment recognized with a carrying amount of zero results from the current and ongoing loss situation. Because of the decline in demand for oil caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the lower oil price the price pressure for recycling materials increased.

Impairment tests as at 30 September 2020

The COVID-19 pandemic and the related uncertainties regarding expected negative effects on the free cash flows constitute an impairment trigger at 30 September 2020, consequently, the goodwill of the CGU BEGALOM, CGU Plastech Holding Group, CGU UIAG Informatik-Holding Group were tested for impairment.

The value in use of a cash generating unit is calculated using the discounted cash flow method based on a pre-tax WACC. The WACC is 8.97% (ABY 2019: 7.39%) for the CGU BEGALOM, 9.85% (ABY 2019: 9.95%) for the CGU Plastech Holding Group (Plastic segment) and for the CGU UIAG Informatik-Holding Group (IT segment) 9.31% (ABY 2019: 8.41%.) The discounting rate is based on the average weighted capital cost of the corresponding peer group.

The cash flows for the impairment tests are based on the current mid-term planning as authorized by the Management Board. The planning period is three years (30 September 2019: 3 years). The mid-term planning period for Plastech Holding Group is four years, since sustainable earnings level will be achieved in the fourth planning year only and the strategic decision was made to focus on the packaging segment (consumer and industrial packaging) and thus to reduce the dependability on the automotive segment. This decision was made considering the emerging difficulties and decline in the automotive sector. In business year 2019/20 significant steps were made based on this strategic development.

The detailed planning period is based on the cash flows for the third respectively fourth year of the detailed planning period based on the principle of going concern to calculate a perpetual annuity, using a growth discount of 1.0%

(30 September 2019: 1.0%) and the assumption of convergence. The mid-term planning is based on internal assump- tions on the future development of distribution, price and costs, the future development of markets and the product mix. The assumptions are based on the assessment of the management.

Based on the increased planning uncertainty because of the COVID-19 pandemic alternative planning scenarios

were investigated in detail and further possible effects of the COVID-19 pandemic discussed with the management of the CGUs. Alternative scenarios were investigated for the CGU Plastech Holding Group in particular because of

the increased uncertainties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The planning based on the impairment tests provide a realistic assessment of the Management Board of Unternehmens Invest AG at the time the consolidated financial statements are prepared, based on the assumption that no further serious effects from the COVID-19 pandemic arise for the individual CGUs.

The history of deviations between performance and budget was considered by the recognition of deductions in the plannings.

The value in use determined for the CGU BEGALOM and the CGU UIAG Informatik-Holding Group is above the carrying amount.

As already explained as at 31 March 2020 an impairment in the amount of € 6,050k (30 September 2019: € 18,084k)

was recognized for the goodwill attributed to the CGU Plastech Holding Group as at 31 March 2020. The order intake and the revenues in the automotive segment remained substantially reduced in the second half of the business year

2019/20, but the dependability on the automotive segment was reduced by stepping up the activities in the segment packaging and specialties. The consequent implementation of the cost adjustment measures creates a positive earning contribution. The value in use determined for the CGU Plastech Holding Group is above the carrying amount as at

30 September 2020.

The Management Board realized that if two significant assumptions will be changed, the carrying value may exceed the recoverable amount of the CGU BEGALOM, CGU Plastech Holding Group and CGU UIAG Informatik-Holding Group.

The recoverable amount of the CGU BEGALOM would correspond to the carrying amount if the free cash flow in the perpetual annuity was reduced by 46.2% (30 September 2019: 51.0%). The recoverable amount would also meet the carrying amount if the capital cost before tax would be increased by 5,53% (30 September 2019: 5.53%).

The recoverable amount of the CGU UIAG Informatik-Holding Group would correspond to the carrying amount if the free cash flow in the perpetual annuity was reduced by 12% (30 September 2019: 27.4%). The recoverable amount would also meet the carrying amount if the capital cost before tax would be increased by 0.30% (30 September 2019: 1.68%).

The recoverable amount of the CGU Plastech Holding Group would correspond to the carrying amount if the free cash flow in the perpetual annuity was reduced by 18.3% (30 September 2019: 0%). The recoverable amount would also meet the carrying amount if the capital cost before tax would be increased by 1.79% (30 September 2019: 0%).

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

As already explained an impairment in the amount of € 1,121k was recognized for Pongratz Group for intangible and tangible assets. The impairment test performed at 30 September 2020 is based on a planning period of three years. Since assumptions regarding the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic turned clearly positive in the second half 2019/20 the impairment loss in the amount of € 1,121k based on the impairment tests as at 30 September 2020 was attributed to the intangible and tangible assets as at 30 September 2020. Since all distributors of Pongratz Group were closed at 31 March 2020 because of of the federally mandated protective measures it was uncertain when the situation for the sale of trailers might return to normal. However, Pongratz Group registered an unexpectedly high demand for their products in the second half 2019/20 which continued throughout the first quarter 2020/21. The value in use of Pongratz Group was also calculated using the discounted cash flow method based on a pre-tax WACC. The WACC at record date 30 September 2020 was 9.24% (30 September 2020: 6.77%).

Trademark rights, customer relationships and other intangible assets

The impairment tests performed in business year 2019/20 did not require an impairment of capitalized trademark rights and customer relationships.

The expenses for research and development in business year 2019/20 amounted to € 2,177k (ABY 2019: € 1,800k). Development cost in the amount of € 1,558k (ABY 2019: € 1,917k) were capitalized in business year 2019/20. These costs were mainly attributable to a new generation of blow mold machines with reduced color change times, material saving, energy saving and capacity savings at the first commissioning in the Plastic segment.

Tangible assets

In the business year 2019/20 neither impairments nor value recoveries for tangible assets were executed. No major insurance compensations for impaired or lost tangible assets were received.

The usage rights included in the tangible assets developed in business year 2019/20 as follows:

(14) FINANCIAL ASSETS RECOGNIZED AT EQUITY

Accounting and valuation methods

Shareholdings and other financial assets

Shareholdings of affiliated companies - unless they are fully consolidated - and other shareholdings are recognized at fair value. Changes in value are recognized in the income statement. Shareholdings of associated companies are included into the consolidated financial statements at equity. The other financial assets are measured at fair value at the balance sheet date. The fair value is based on the actual market price at balance sheet date. Changes in valuation are recognized in the income statement.

Impairment of financial assets recognized at equity

Objective indications according to IAS 28 are used for financial assets recognized at equity. These might be financial difficulties, insolvency, breach of contract or considerable delay of payment by the debtor or issuer.

Shares of associated companies are the following:

€k

30 Sep 2020

BAGE Recycling GmbH was recognized as associated company. The share of 25.1% - held indirectly via Plastech Holding GmbH - was sold in July 2020. As in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, item (08) "Income from associated companies recognized at equity" described, a negative pro rata current income in the amount of € -594k in the business year 2019/20 and an impairment in the amount of € 3,813k was identified from the associated company BAGE Recycling GmbH.

(15) DEFERRED TAX ASSETS AND TAX LIABILITIES

Accounting and valuation methods

Taxes and accrual of deferred taxes

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that they can be utilized.

In accordance with IAS 12.39 for temporary differences from shares of subsidiaries held by group companies no deferred tax liabilities are recognized since UIAG Group can control the timing of the reversal and the temporary differences are not expected to reverse in the foreseeable future. Temporary differences not recognized as deferred tax liabilities are retained profits, that will not be distributed or that will remain untaxed for the foreseeable future.

Estimates and assumptions

The factors consulted to assess the probability of future use are the earnings performance in the past, operative planning, loss carryforward periods and tax planning strategies. If the actual results differ negatively from the estimates, they may lead to an impairment of the deferred tax assets in the income statement.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

In accordance with the balance sheet-oriented approach to calculate deferred taxes the following deferred tax assets and liabilities for the major balance sheet items result according to IFRS:

Loss carryforwards in the IT segment in the amount of € 376k and in the Plastic segment in the amount of € 7,455k were activated as deferred tax. Any other loss carryforwards were not recognized due to the economic situation and their loss history.

At balance sheet date deferred tax assets in the amount of € 1,470k (30 September 2019: € 1,137k) resulting from the IT segment and the Plastic segment were activated. Other loss carryforwards in the amount of € 19,706k (30 September 2019: € 13,440k) were not activated. Thereof € 1,006k will be forfeited (30 September 2019: € 970k) within the next four years, the remaining loss carryforwards have no expiry date.

For temporary differences for tax purposes in the amount of € 300k (30 September 2019: € 260k) from shares of subsidiaries no deferred tax liabilities were recognized since it is not likely that these temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future.

(16) OTHER NON-CURRENT ASSETS

Accounting and valuation methods

Financial assets

The financial assets of UIAG Group include receivables, cash and cash equivalents, derivatives with positive fair values.

If the financial assets show objective and substantial indications of impairment an impairment test is made. Indica- tions for impairment are the deterioration of the creditworthiness of the debtor and subsequent delays in payment or impending insolvency. If the reasons for extraordinary impairment cease to exist, the assets will be written-up accordingly but not beyond the acquisition cost.

Other financial assets and derivative financial instruments

Other financial assets of UIAG Group include other receivables and derivative financial instruments. Other receivables are recognized at amortized cost applying the effective interest method.

Derivative financial instruments are applied in UIAG Group exclusively for the hedging of currency and interest rate risks. They are always recognized at fair value and reported in the balance sheet as "Other financial asset" (positive fair value) or "Financial liability" (negative fair value). They are included in the current assets or current liabilities if they are repaid within twelve months after the end of the reporting period. The attributable fair value is based on current reference prices at the balance sheet date considering forward premiums and forward discounts.

Fluctuations in value of interest swaps are recognized in the other comprehensive income if the prerequisites for the recognition as cash flow hedge are given. If there is no formal hedging relationship to the underlying transactions, there are no prerequisites for hedge accounting and the fluctuations in value of derivatives are recognized in the income statement.

Please refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements, item (29) "Financial risks" for the recognition of interest swaps for hedging.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

Receivables and contract assets

Besides various kinds of receivables the group activates contract assets. The following contract assets are disclosed in the UIAG Group:

  • - period-based customer-specific consultancy projects (in the IT segment mainly software implementing and software optimization projects, in the Plastic segment mainly the manufacturing of customer-specific equipment), whereby the cumulated services exceed the invoiced rendered project services respectively exceed the rendered or due pre-payments (credit balance)

  • - the positive allocation effects from the distribution of the total transaction price of multiple component contracts the performance obligations based on the individual sales price, and

  • - other rendered but not yet invoiced services (e.g. in the IT segment not yet invoiced IT-services).

Contract assets are work in progress not yet invoiced and therefore show risk characteristics comparable to trade receivables. They are valued with the following parameters.

Recognizable individual risks are reflected by appropriate valuation adjustments. In accordance with the future-oriented expected-loss model of IFRS 9 the assessed expected loan losses are calculated and recognized based on the experience of actual loan losses, adjusted by forward-looking factors. Trade receivables and contract assets with impaired credit-worthiness are subjected to special examination of the default risks on a case-by-case basis. Indicators of impaired creditworthiness include, in particular, significant financial difficulties or the likelihood of insolvency of a debtor. Impair-ment is recognized in the valuation allowance through profit or loss in the consolidated income statement. If the reasons for impairment cease to exist in subsequent periods, the value is written up to no more than the original purchase price and recognized as profit. Receivables are considered uncollectible if e.g. the customer has significant financial difficulties, bankruptcy proceedings are instituted, and it is unlikely that the customer will meet his obligations.

Non-interest or low interest-bearing receivables with a remaining term in excess of one year are recognized at the discounted present value.

Assumptions and estimates

The evaluation of receivables is based on the assumption of recoverability. The criteria used by the management for the assessment of recoverability are the customer's credit quality, the maturity structure of the receivable balances and experience related to the write-offs of receivables in the past and the changes in terms and conditions of payment.

If the financial situation of the customers worsens the total amount of the actual write-offs may exceed the amount of the expected write-offs. At balance sheet date receivables in the amount of € 79,956k (30 September 2019: € 98,398k) were recorded.

(17) INVENTORIES

Accouting and valuation methods

Inventories are recognized at cost or at the lower realizable value at the balance sheet date (expected sale price less cost of disposal). Similar assets are measured at the moving average price method. Appropriate valuation allowances were made for inventory risks resulting from the duration of storage and reduced usability.

UIAG Group does not capitalize any interest on borrowed capital from the manufacturing and temporary storage in the acquisition and production cost.

Assumptions and estimates

The evaluation of inventories is based on the estimation of the recoverable amount and the intrinsic value of inventories.

Statistical values on duration of storage and the product specific decline of the price are the basis for impairment.

For better understanding the advance payments made were reclassified from trade receivables to inventory.

The change of the impairment of inventory recognized in the income statement in the business year 2019/20 amounted to € -2,100k (ABY 2019: € -604k). At balance sheet date 30 September 2019 € 14,895k (30 September 2019: € 18,920k) of the inventories were pledged as security.

(18) TRADE RECEIVABLES, OTHER RECEIVABLES AND OTHER CURRENT ASSETS

Accounting and valuation methods

The impairments recognized are based on previous experiences with credit loss, adjusted with forward-looking factors specific for the customers and the economic conditions. Customers with impaired creditworthiness are subject to a special assessment of their default risks. Indicators for impaired creditworthiness are significant financial difficulties or the likelihood of insolvency of a debtor. In the categories "Impairment for the expected 12-months credit default

(level 1)" and "Impairment for the expected credit default during term (level 2)" the customer's credit rating is not affected whereas in the category "Impairment on individual basis" (level 3) the customer's credit rating is affected.

Because of the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic bad debts may increase. As at 30 September 2020 no substantial risks were identified. The expected insolvency default rate was included in the valuation and rose compared to the previous year because of the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in slightly higher impairments for the credit losses (level 2) over the term.

In exercise of the option lease receivables are valued considering the credit loss to be expected during credit term.

"Trade receivables, other receivables and other current assets" include the following assets:

Concerning trade receivables - neither impaired nor past due - loans and other receivables, there were no indications as of the balance sheet date that the debtors will not be able to meet their payment obligations.

Trade receivables in the amount of € 12,207k (30 September 2019: € 12,488k) are pledged as security.

(19) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Accounting and valuation methods

Cash and cash equivalents are measured at their actual value at balance sheet date. Attributable interest income and impairment expenses are recognized in the financial result.

Cash and cash equivalents include cheques, cash on hand and cash in bank, with a maturity time of less than three months.

(20) EQUITY

The total equity of Unternehmens Invest AG as at 30 September 2020 amounts to € 46,304k and is paid in fully. The equity is divided in 6,369,157 no par value shares with a pro rata share of the equity of € 7.27 per share.

(21) RESERVES INCLUDING GROUP PROFIT/LOSS

This item comprises basically the yearly profit and the reserves, including profit/loss carryforwards of Unternehmens Invest AG and the consolidated subsidiaries unless they are eliminated by capital consolidation.

The cash flow hedge reserve includes fluctuations of value of interest hedge, meeting the requirements for the recognition as cash flow hedge. The cash flow hedge reserve includes the profit or loss from derivatives recognized in the income statement, designated and qualified as cash flow hedges. The amounts for interest hedging are reclassified in profit or loss. The notes to the consolidated financial statements, item (29) "Financial risks" provides further infor- mation. The IAS 21 reserve includes all foreign currency differences from the translation of foreign currency financial statements. The IAS 19 reserve includes actuarial losses from defined benefit obligations.

(22) NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS

The interests of non-controlling shareholders are the shares held by minority interests of the total equity of the group.

UIAG Informatik-Holding Group includes non-controlling shares of effectively 52.13% from All for One Group SE and from UIAG Informatik-Holding GmbH for 9.05%. In addition, effects from indirect non-controlling shares from the consolidation of both companies exist. Therefore, the non-controlling shares of UIAG Informatik-Holding Group are shown in total.

The non-controlling shares of Plastech Holding GmbH of 10% were acquired by Unternehmens Invest AG in October 2019, thus Unternehmens Invest AG now holds 100% of Plastech Holding GmbH.

(23) NON-CURRENT FINANCIAL LIABILITIES

Accounting and valuation methods

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities consist of primary liabilities and of negative fair values of derivative financial instruments.

Financial obligations

Financial obligations of UIAG Group mainly comprise bank loans, bonded loans and lease obligations. The effective interest rate method at amortized cost is applied for the subsequent accounting if the interest rate effect is material.

This item includes financial liabilities with a remaining maturity time of more than one year and can be broken down as follows:

The long-term bank loans mainly consist of loans in the Plastech Holding Group in the amount of € 27,964k

(30 September 2019: € 40,348k) and in the UIAG Informatik-Holding Group in the amount of € 15,300k (30 September 2019: € 16,300k).

As already reported in the notes to the consolidated financial statements for the abridged business year 2019, item (35) "Events after the balance sheet date", the non-compliance of financial key figures within the Plastech Holding Group at the beginning of business year 2019/20 caused the breach of credit agreements. The reasons for the non-compliance of the financial key figures were the negative economic developments in the automotive segment and the decline in revenues and earnings in Plastech Holding Group. Successful negotiations with the creditors were conducted to adjust the existing loan agreements. The loans are still available for Plastech Holding Group and

conditions, including the compliance of financial key figures were adjusted for the benefit of the company. The compliance of the financial key figures of minimum liquidity as at 31 March 2021 and 30 June 2021 as well as of the quarterly EBITDA must be verified for the first time on 30 September 2021. In March 2020 the bank loan of Plastech Beteiligungs GmbH with a nominal value of € 14,000k was acquired by Unternehmens Invest AG for € 8,400k by means of an earnout agreement (notes to the consolidated financial statements, item (10) "Other financial and participa- tion income"). Unternehmens Invest AG continues to provide this loan to Plastech Beteilgungs GmbH as non-current shareholder loan.

Other financing in the operative segment of Plastech Holding Group include besides the verification of compliance with financial key figures further information requirements and financial covenants from the creditor. The creditor has the right to recall the loan upon non-compliance with the financial key figures, whereby the loans become immediately due. Payout restrictions for the loans apply until the loan is completely repaid. The loans are partially collaterised with the assets of Kautex Maschinenbau GmbH, Bonn/Germany.

The loan of UIAG Informatik-Holding Group must be settled at maturity in March 2026. Payout restrictions apply,

any payout is only allowed after full redemption. The compliance with the financial key figure "Loan to value-ratio" must be proven quarterly. The creditor may recall the loans upon non-compliance whereby the loans become immediately due. In case of non-compliance the creditor may raise the interest margin or call the loan due. At balance sheet date

30 September 2020, the group complied with the financial key figures.

In business year 2019/20 Pongratz Trailer-Group GmbH took up two bank loans in the amount of € 1,000k. Thereof € 500k were granted by the "Oesterreichische Kontrollbank" in form of a revolving export credit in the course of a special program to support export companies to reduce the impact from COVID-19 and a credit line of € 500k with a term of four years and guarantee commitment was granted by the "Austria Wirtschaftsservice Gesellschaft m.b.H."

Other non-current financial assets are promissory note bonds with bullet maturity of All for One Group SE in the amount of € 48,346k. The promissory note bonds issued in October 2019 with a total volume of € 33,500k are split into two tranches with terms of six to eight years and a forward tranche with a term of 6.5 years (due 30 April 2020).

The forward tranche was used to redeem a promissory note bond for € 8,500k as at 30 April 2020. The promissory note bond holders are entitled to raise the interest margin or call the promissory note bonds in the amount of € 48,500k due immediately if covenants are not met. These covenants are compliance with the agreed targets for the equity ratio and the sum of equity as well as the relationship between total net debt and EBITDA. The creditors are authorized to

cancel their loan commitment and call the remaining amount of € 48,500k due immediately if certain changes are made

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

in the All for One Group SE shareholder structure (change of control). All covenants were complied with in the abridged business year 2019 and the current busines year 2019/20. In addition, All for One Group SE holds credit lines with banks in the amount of € 5,701k (30 September 2019: € 9,801k).

The non-current financial obligations also include a non-current credit line from Knünz GmbH and Nucleus Beteiligungs GmbH in the amount of € 20,800k, of which € 18,420k were used by Unternehmens Invest AG as at 30 September 2020 (30 September 2019: € 5,020k). Bernd Neumann granted a non-current loan in the amount of € 4,000k in business year 2019/20 (see notes to the consolidated financial statements, item (36) "Related party disclosures").

(24) PERSONNEL OBLIGATIONS

Accounting and valuation methods

Employee benefit liabilities

The pension provisions relate solely to defined benefit pension plans. The cost of providing the benefits under these plans is determined using the projected unit credit method. Actuarial assessment is performed on every closing date.

The obligation for defined contribution pension plans lies with the respective national pension institution and not with UIAG Group. Payments relating to the defined contribution pension plans are recognized as personnel expense in the income statement upon work performance. Defined contribution pension plans exist for a subsidiary of Plastech Holding Group in the USA and for UIAG Informatik-Holding GmbH.

Besides pension obligations, obligations for partial retirement and pre-retirement benefits are determined by means of actuarial calculations considering valid interest rates.

Long-term personnel obligations exist in Plastech Holding Group from the option agreement as described in the notes to the consolidated balance sheet, item (25) "Other non-current liabilities". These long-term personnel obligations include the expenses apportionable over the term of the service contracts of those management shareholders of Kautex Holding GmbH holding an option agreement for the remaining shares of Kautex Holding GmbH. This applies to 20% of the expected exercise price. This is considered as other long-term benefit.

The Austrian group companies set up provisions for future severance payment obligations, since Austrian law requires the employer to pay a one-time severance payment upon termination by the employer or retirement, if the employee contract started before 1 January 2003. The amount of the severance payment is based on the length of service and the relevant salary at the time of severance or retirement. Agreements for voluntary severance payments exist for the Management Board of Unternehmens Invest AG and for employees of Pongratz Trailer-Group GmbH.

Provisions for severance payments (in Germany) are set up if existing employment relationships are terminated for operational reasons or terminated consensually. Provisions are set up in the expected amount of the severance payments.

For all employees, whose contracts started after 1 January 2003 the employer has to pay monthly contributions into a company employee benefit fund. The employer is not obliged to any additional legal or voluntary severance payments apart from that and does not have to set up provisions for this defined contribution plan. In business year 2019/20 expenses amounted to € 83k (30 September 2019: € 57k).

Anniversary payments are valued using the projected unit credit method and recognized as other long-term employee benefits. The value of this obligation is defined as the actuarial present value of the anniversary benefits that the employees earned according to their length of service at the reference date. Any assets used to fund the obligation are measured at fair value. The effects from the revaluation of the obligations at the respective balance sheet date (actuarial gains or losses) are recognized in the income statement.

Short-term accruals from personnel (e.g. leave, overtime or compensation time) are reported in other liabilities.

Assumptions and estimates

The expenses for long-term employee benefit obligations (from the obligations for severance payments, pension entitlements and anniversary bonuses) are calculated with actuarial methods based on assumptions of discount rate, life expectancy, wage- and salary increases, fluctuation rates and expected income from plan assets. If the parameters develop considerably different than expected it might impact on the amount of the future obligations. The interest rates and sensitivity considerations applied are reported in the following tables.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

The weighted average maturity of the defined benefit obligations (duration) is 10.86 years (30 September 2019: 12.75 years). The discounting rate is the yield that can be achieved on the market at balance sheet date for first-rate fixed-income corporate bonds and is 1.21%. (30 September 2019: 1,13%).

The employee fluctuation is determined at the individual company level in consideration of age and service time.

The actuarial assessments are based largely on country-specific mortality tables. The earliest possible statutory retire- ment age of each country is specified as retirement age.

A change in the technical interest rate respectively a salary increased had the following impact on the amount of the defined benefit obligation as at 30 September 2020 if all other parameters remained constant:

IT segment

Provisions for pension obligations in the IT segment are made based on six provision plans (30 September 2019: six provision plans) for retirement, invalidity and surviving dependents' benefits. The amount of payable benefit is generally dictated by the length of service and salary of an employee. In addition, one German pension scheme exists in the form of direct commitments which is secured by a matching pledged reinsurance policy. Although the risk that the insurance company cannot grant the rate of return is very low, IAS 19 requires that the staff-funded pension plan is classified as a defined benefit pension plan.

A change in the pension obligations for Switzerland required the recognition of negative past service cost in the income statement in the business year 2019/20. The payments made included funded pension obligations that were assumed from employee additions.

100

Calculation of the obligations in Germany was derived from the 2018G mortality tables issued by Prof. Dr. Klaus Heubeck, which served as biometric basis for the computation. In Switzerland, the BVG 2015 generation tables are used as the biometric basis for calculating the obligations.
