Statutory auditor’s report on the consolidated financial statements<br />

Fiscal years ending as at December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007<br />

This is a free translation into English of the statutory auditor’s report issued in the French language and is<br />

provided solely for the convenience of English speaking readers. Such report should be read in conjunction<br />

and construed in accordance with French law and French auditing professional standards.<br />

In our capacity as the statutory auditors of New Services Holding and in response to your<br />

request, we have audited the consolidated financial statements of New Services Holding, for the<br />

financial years ending December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, which are attached to this report and<br />

included in section 10 of the prospectus dated May 12, 2010 prepared in connection with the planned<br />

listing of New Services Holding’s shares on Euronext Paris as part of the spinoff of the Accor group’s<br />

services business.<br />

These financial statements were prepared under your responsibility. Our role is to express an<br />

opinion on these combined financial statements based on our review.<br />

We conducted our audit in accordance with professional standards applicable in France.<br />

Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about<br />

whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining,<br />

using sample testing techniques or other selection methods, the evidence supporting the amounts<br />

and information in the combined financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the<br />

accounting principles used and significant estimates made, as well as evaluating the overall<br />

presentation of the combined financial statements. We believe that the evidence that we have<br />

obtained is sufficient and appropriate to support our opinion.<br />

In our opinion, for purposes of the prospectus prepared as described above, the combined<br />

financial statements are, in all material aspects, a true and fair depiction of the financial condition and<br />

the assets and liabilities of the persons and entities within the scope of consolidation as of December<br />

31, 2009, 2008, and 2007, as well as the results of its operations for each of the years then ended, in<br />

accordance with the accounting principles described in the notes to the combined financial<br />

statements entitled “Basis for preparation” and “1. Accounting principles”, specifying the manner in<br />

which the IFRS standards as adopted in the European Union were applied in the preparation of the<br />

combined financial statements.<br />

This report is issued solely for the purposes of the public offering in France and in other<br />

countries of the European Union in which the prospectus approved by the AMF may be used, and may<br />

not be used for any other purpose.<br />
