Auditors’ <strong>Report</strong><br />
The following certification has been issued for the financial<br />
statement and the economic situation report:<br />
“We have audited the end-of-year financial statement of<br />
Flughafen <strong>Hamburg</strong> Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung,<br />
<strong>Hamburg</strong> for the financial year 1 January to 31 December,<br />
<strong>2012</strong>, consisting of balance sheet, profit and loss statement<br />
and appendices, with reference to the company’s accounting<br />
practices, along with the economic situation report. According<br />
to the provisions of German commercial law, both<br />
the accounting practices and the production of financial<br />
statement and economic situation report are the responsibility<br />
of the company’s legal representatives. Our responsibility<br />
as auditors is to express an opinion on the annual financial<br />
statement, including the accounting practices, and on<br />
the economic situation report, based on our audit.<br />
We have carried out our audit of the end-of-year financial<br />
statement according to the provisions of § 317 of the<br />
German Commercial Code, taking into account the German<br />
principles of proper accounting as stipulated by the<br />
German Institute of Auditors (IDW). These regulations require<br />
that the audit is planned and carried out in such a way<br />
that any errors and violations that may have a significant effect<br />
on the perception of the nett value, financial position<br />
and earnings situation of the company depicted by the financial<br />
statement and economic situation report in compliance<br />
with required principles of accounting will be identified<br />
with an adequate degree of certainty. In deciding on<br />
the scope and method of the audit, existing knowledge<br />
about the company’s business activities and the economic<br />
and legal conditions under which it conducts said business<br />
activities, along with any expected possible sources of error,<br />
are taken into consideration. Within the framework of<br />
the audit, the efficacy of the internal control system as well<br />
as evidence for the information contained in the financial<br />
statement and in the economic situation report are checked<br />
primarily on the basis of random samples. The audit covers<br />
the evaluation of the principles of accounting implemented,<br />
the main opinions and assessments of the company's officers<br />
and the overall presentation of the financial statement<br />
and the economic situation report. It is our opinion that our<br />
audit presents an adequately reliable basis for evaluation.<br />
We have no objections to make on the basis of our audit.<br />
We are of the opinion, based on our audit, that the endof-year<br />
financial statement fulfils the legal requirements<br />
and provides a realistic and accurate representation of the<br />
actual situation relating to the assets and complete financial<br />
situation of the company, with due reference to the principles<br />
of sound accounting. The economic situation report<br />
agrees with the end-of-year financial statement, accurately<br />
represents the company's current situation and presents<br />
the opportunities and risks associated with future developments<br />
in an appropriate way.”<br />
