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

Fiscal years ended 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 />

To the Chief Executive Officer,<br />

In our capacity as statutory auditors of New Services Holding, and in application of (EC)<br />

regulation no. 809/2004, we have prepared this report on the pro forma financial statements of New<br />

Services Holding for the financial years ending on December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 (“the pro forma<br />

financial statements”), included in section 10 of the prospectus dated May 12, 2010 prepared in<br />

connection with the planned listing of New Services Holding’s shares on Euronext Paris as part of the<br />

spinoff of the Accor group’s services business.<br />

These pro forma financial statements were prepared solely to illustrate the effect that the<br />

spinoff would have had on the combined financial statements of the Services business of the Accor<br />

group as at December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, had the transaction occurred as of January 1, 2007.<br />

By their nature, pro forma financial statements describe a hypothetical situation. They do not<br />

necessarily represent what the financial situation or performance of the Group would have been had<br />

the Transaction taken place before its actual or expected completion date.<br />

These pro forma financial statements were prepared under your responsibility in application<br />

of (EC) regulation no. 809/2004 relating to pro forma information, based on the audited combined<br />

financial statements of New Services Holding as at December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.<br />

Our role is to express a conclusion, on the basis of our review, regarding the adequacy of<br />

these pro forma financial statements, as required by Schedule II, paragraph 7 of (EC) regulation no.<br />

809/2004.<br />

We conducted the diligence that we deemed necessary for this assignment in light of the<br />

professional customs of the National Professional Association of Statutory Auditors (Compagnie<br />

nationale des commissaires aux comptes). Our review, which did not include a review of any of the<br />

underlying financial information incorporated into the pro forma financial statements, consisted<br />

mainly of checking that the basis used for the preparation of such pro forma financial statements<br />

correspond to the source documents described in the notes to the financial statements entitled “Basis<br />

for preparation of the pro forma financial statements”, examining the elements supporting the<br />

information contained in the pro forma restatements and meeting with New Services Holding’s<br />

management in order to collect the information and explanations that we deemed necessary.<br />

In our opinion:<br />

• The pro forma financial statements were adequately prepared on the basis<br />

described in the note to the financial statements entitled “Basis for preparation of<br />

the pro forma financial statements”;<br />

• This basis is consistent with the accounting methods used by the issuer.<br />
