Marketable securities.

As of September 30, 2006, marketable securities amount to €68k (previous year: €69k). The available-for-sale securities are held as security-backing, as required by Sect. 14 of the Austrian Income Tax Act, for our Austrian subsidiary’s pension accruals. Movements in market value are accounted for in the revaluation reserve, with no effect on accounting profit, and €–1k were added to this during the fiscal year. The historical acquisition cost of available-for-sale securities is €50k.

Cash in Hand and at Bank (including Checks).

The cash in hand of €1,360k (previous year: €1,579k) mainly includes test cash for automated teller machines.

Bank balances, including payments en-route, are €5,569k (previous year: € 48,144k).

Checks amount to €2,607k (previous year: €1,136k).
