To TUI AG, Berlin and Hanover
We have reviewed the condensed interim consolidated financial statements – comprising the statement of financial position, condensed profit and loss statement, condensed statement of cash flows, condensed statement of changes in equity and selected explanatory notes – and the interim Group management report of TUI AG, Berlin and Hanover, for the period from 1 October 2009 to 31 March 2010, which are part of the half-year financial report according to section 37w of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG). The preparation of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU, and of the interim Group management report which has been prepared in accordance with the regulations of the German Securities Trading Act applicable to interim Group management reports is the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to issue a review report of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and on the interim group management report based on our review.
We performed our review of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements and the interim Group management report in accordance with the German generally accepted standards for the review of financial statements promulgated by the Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer (IDW, German Auditors’ Institute), also taking account of the International Standard on Review Engagements ‘Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity’ (ISRE 2410). Those standards require that we plan and conduct the review so that we can preclude through critical evaluation, with a certain level of assurance, that the condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in material aspects, in accordance with the IFRS applicable to interim financial reporting as adopted by the EU and that the interim Group management report has not been prepared, in material aspects, in accordance with the regulations of the German Securities Trading Act applicable to interim Group management reports. A review is limited primarily to enquiries of Company employees and analytical assessments and therefore does not provide the assurance attainable in a financial statement audit. Since, in accordance with our engagement, we have not performed a financial statement audit, we cannot express an audit opinion.
