Dear Ladies, Gentlemen and ShareholdersWe are proud to present to you the half-year report for 2007 of the Implenia Group. This is the Group‘s fi rst report covering a full half year. It is therefore only partially com-parable to the half-year report for 2006, as that report covered only the period starting from the creation of the Group and ending on 30 June 2006.
You will recall that, on 2 March 2006, you approved by an overwhelming majority the merger of the two leaders of the Swiss construction industry, Zschokke and Batigroup, to form the Implenia Group. This merger, prompted by strong economic reasons, put us in a position of strength and therefore won massive support. Your approval con-fi rmed our conviction that the best way to face market challenges, both present and future, was to combine our forces, thus establishing ourselves as the undisputed industry leader.
The Implenia Group: on the right roadDevelopments since this decision have confi rmed our expectations:– the merger has projected our Group into a new dimen-
sion; Implenia is now able to consolidate its position as undisputed leader in all of its fi elds of activity in Switzerland: construction, industrial construction, as general/total contractor or in real estate;
– having achieved this critical mass, the Group now has the capability to prevail over increasingly strong foreign competition; this new dimension is also a major prerequi-site for maintaining its independence;
– the merger has considerably strengthened our technical competence, as well as our fi nancial fl exibility and our capacity to take risks; it is a decisive asset in the area of project development;
– our critical mass allows us to adopt a balanced strategy; Implenia now has the know-how and fi nancial power needed to actively develop the provision of services up-stream and downstream of the actual construction process; we are also implementing industrial processes that will enable us to benefi t henceforth from major economies of scale;
– the synergy effects resulting from this increased pro-ductivity should also translate into an improvement of the results of the low margin segments;
– our new dimensions and strengths at national level also give us targeted access to attractive foreign markets (selected construction or services).
The Implenia Group, fully aware that its organisation needs to be aligned with the needs of the market, is today structured in four operating divisions:1. Real Estate division, grouping services provided up-
stream and downstream of actual construction activity – and, secondarily, work done as general contractor – such as the development of projects, engineering and real estate management;
2. Infra division, grouping traditional works, i.e. building, civil engineering, roads and special construction works;
3. Tunnels and total contractor division, specialised in major infrastructure projects, in particular tunnels and railway engineering;
4. Global Solutions division, which organises and groups all our activities abroad.
This range of services allows the Implenia Group to cover the entire life cycle of a building. Of course, we continue to be exposed to market forces in the various segments, but we now have the advantage of being able to offer our customers customised, global or specifi c solutions, by drawing on the broad range of services that we can offer. Moreover, the structure of our services makes us relatively less subject to the ups and downs of construction cycles compared to a classic contractor. This advantage clearly differentiates the Implenia Group from the other market actors.
Strong order book and good prospectsThe fi nancial situation in the construction industry, which on the whole is now satisfactory, is due mainly to a growth of activity with which the companies operating in the in-dustry have been able to cope without increasing their workforces and without intensifying their capital invest-ments. Overall productivity has therefore increased.
Increasing productivity in the construction industry
IntroductionMessage 7
In the fi rst quarter of 2007, the turnover of the Swiss construction industry amounted to about CHF 3.3 billion, with an increase of 14.6% over the fi rst quarter of last year. This growth can be explained by a positive economic climate, but also – and above all – by favourable weather conditions.
Despite the globally satisfactory order volume, con-struction continues to be plagued by a price war similar to that observed during the recession of the 1990‘s. Because of these prices, which often do not refl ect healthy manage-ment choices, our increased costs, for both materials or wages, can be offset only in part by an improvement of productivity.
The private sector has been the main driver of this increased turnover. The construction of homes, especially, remains very dynamic. Private investments in civil engi-neering also increased in the fi rst quarter. However, the progression of the order volume for homes is more modest, standing at 2.5%. The limited infl ow of orders at the end of March 2007 indicates that the construction of homes has presumably reached its peak.
The turnover for the construction of offi ces and in-dustrial buildings refl ects the present positive economic climate. It reached about CHF 540 million in the fi rst quarter of 2007, which is a level unmatched since 2002. On the other hand, the order book shows a decrease of more than 19%. It is therefore necessary to expect a drop in activity in this fi eld between now and the end of the year.
The civil engineering turnover depends essentially on a small number of major projects. It was thus strongly infl uenced by the renovation works on the A2 motorway. The award of the Erstfeld lot of the alpine crossing projects has also infl uenced the order book and the quantity of work. In relation to the high turnover level, the decreased work volume (– 8%) is hardly surprising. However, thanks to the increase in private civil engineering works (close to CHF 420 million), the volume of work in this fi eld remains at the same level as last year.
The announced construction projects lead us to expect a continuation of this favourable economic climate for some time still. A sudden market collapse is not likely. The average volume of the companies‘ order books stands at a level comparable to that of last year.
Good half-year resultIn the fi rst half of 2007, the Implenia Group achieved results in line with its high expectations. The turnover, includ-ing the working partnerships (not consolidated), reached about CHF 1 444 million, which is an increase of 5% over its level last year in the same period. The overall Group result stands at CHF 3.5 million, after deducting CHF 6.7 million for integration costs, exceptional fees and deprecia-tion of intangible assets.
A good result for the year is forecastThis result is in line with our expectations and – keeping in mind the seasonal nature of our business – gives us a strong base for achieving a good result for the year. Thanks to the impressive order books on which all divisions of the Group can currently count, we estimate that the annual turnover of Implenia should reach CHF 3 000 million, after deducting the extraordinary costs for the year. For the year 2007, the balance of the integration costs, exceptional fees and depreciation of intangible assets should amount to about CHF 19.5 million.
At the end of July 2007, the Group‘s order book amount-ed to CHF 2 696 million, spread over a number of years. The Group‘s equity, as at 30 June 2007, amounted to CHF 369.8 million. The cash-fl ow before fi nancing activities amounted to CHF (190.8) million.
Still no agreement with LaxeyThe intentions of the UK-based investment fund Laxey Partners which, at the beginning of the year, secretly ac-quired a block of shares representing 22.9% of the capital of Implenia, still remain rather unclear. Based on the articles of association and the registration regulations, the Board of Directors rejects the request for registration by Laxey,

which has increased its attempts to put pressure on our Board of Directors and our Management to obtain the registration of its shares, with the exception of the 4.9% of the capital already registered. Given the legislation currently in force (Lex Koller), the level of holding demand-ed by Laxey would entail the destruction of the values created so far and would threaten, or prevent the develop-ment of the Implenia Group in line with the strategy ad-opted, which has now demonstrated its worth. Your Board of directors remains determined to uphold its decision not to register any other shares held by Laxey and, there-by, to protect the interests of the majority of our sharehold-ers against the private interests of a single investor seek-ing only short-term profi t.
Just a little more than one year after the creation of the Implenia Group, the results achieved in the fi rst half of 2007 are evident. They would not have been possible without the efforts and commitment of our employees, at all levels. We take this opportunity to thank them all. As for you, shareholders, but also partners, we thank you for the confi dence that you show in our Group, its Board of directors and its management. For us, this is a confi r-mation of the validity of our strategy and an encourage-ment to continue along this road.
Our best regards

Real EstateCreation of an innovation pole For the current year, the Real Estate division (real estate, engineering and work as general contractor) expects a turnover of about CHF 1 305 million and an EBIT result before extraordinary charges of about CHF 33.2 million. At the end of July 2007, its order book amounted to CHF 1 196 million.
The Real Estate division is positioned as an innovation pole. Its objective is to win orders for global or partial services through the development of innovative solutions rather than through a price war. Its excellent reputation, its close ties with our customers, through its 30 branches, the strong support it receives from the Group and its fi rst-class references should all make the Real Estate divi-sion the ideal partner for real estate investors, both private and institutional.

ConstructionClear improvementOver the whole year, the turnover of our Construction divi-sion, consisting of two units Infra and tunnels and works as total contractor, should reach about CHF 1 682 million. Based on the present fi gures, the annual EBIT result should amount to CHF 40 million, before extraordinary charges. At the end of July 2007, the order book amounted to CHF 1 499 million, distributed over several years, above all in tunnels and special construction works. The great in-crease compared to last year is mainly due to the synergies achieved, which have begun to bear their fruits.

Global SolutionsFirst successes abroad
The Global Solutions division groups, executes and coordinates all of our activities abroad. It brings together all the competence and potential of the Group and is thus positioned as the partner of choice for an international clientele in a number of geographical areas and particular segments. The division concentrates on two key areas of competence: solutions for infrastructures and provision of services to the High Quality Buildings segment. Depend-ing on the problems to be solved, customised solutions are found working in collaboration with the other divi-sions of the Group. Implenia Global Solutions can there-fore count on its own internal resources, but also on a network of partners, both national and international.
In the area of infrastructures, Implenia concentrates on bridges, roads, tunnels and special construction works. The fi eld of High Quality Buildings includes design, planning, engineering and project implementation man-agement. Along these two lines, we profi le ourselves as providers of solutions for ambitious projects in terms of quality. On the geographical level, strong growth mar-kets, like Russia, other countries of Eastern Europe and the Middle East, are our priority targets. To implement
our strategy effectively, we are currently studying the possibility of entering into joint ventures with reputed local partners.
In Russia and the Middle East, the fi rst projects have already been booked or developed, notably a draft project including the design of two stadiums for the city of Sotchi, which will host the 2014 Winter Olympics. These two stadiums will form the heart of the Olympic vil-lage: the stadium seating 40,000 spectators will be used for the opening ceremony, while the icehockey stadium seating 12,000 spectators will be used as a multi-purpose facility. Implenia Global Solutions has taken on the func-tions of general planning, value design and engineering.

Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Changes in Equity | Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements
1 General information This Half-year Report containing the consolidated interim fi nancial statements has been prepared in accordance with the «Interim Finan-
cial Information» standard (IAS 34) and does not include all the information and comments required in the Annual Report. This report
must be read in relation to the Annual Report dated 31 December 2006.
Comparative information relating to the period from 1 January to 30 June 2006 is restricted to the activity of the former Zschokke
Group up to 2 March 2006. The business combination of Zschokke and Batigroup within Implenia is effective as of 3 March 2006.
This report for the 1st half year of 2007 containing the consolidated interim fi nancial statements of the Implenia group was approved
by the Board of Directors of Implenia Ltd. in its meeting held on 11 September 2007.
All fi gures are presented in thousands of Swiss francs, unless indicated otherwise.
Implenia Ltd. is a Swiss company based in Dietlikon (Zürich). Its shares are traded on the Swiss stock exchange.
The group’s main business activities are presented in note 4 – Segment Information.
2 Accounting policiesThe consolidated fi nancial statements of the Implenia group are prepared in accordance with the Internal Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS) issued by the «International Accounting Standards Board» (IASB).
The distribution of the segments has been adapted to refl ect the new distribution of activities in the various sectors. The description
of the new segments, which form part of the accounting policies, are indicated below. The comparative fi gures for 2006 of the segment
information have been restated accordingly.
General Contracting (forms part of the Real Estate division)
The activities of this segment include the general planning of projects, as well as work done as general and total contractor in the
construction fi eld.
Real Estate activities (form part of the Real Estate division)
Real estate activities include real estate promotion and the implementation of projects in the real estate fi eld.
Services (forms part of the Real Estate division)
Service activities include studies, the management and running of buildings, the coordination, engineering and planning of projects
related to real estate, as well as Facility Management.
Tunnel construction works and Total Contracting
Activities in this sector include underground works, tunnels and total contracting in railway engineering.
Infra construction works
This segment is active in the construction and maintenance of roads and buildings, civil engineering infrastructures and special
construction works.
Global Solutions
This new segment offers engineering and project management services mainly abroad.
Head offi ce overheads and sundry expenses
This category includes the costs of the parent company (Holding) that cannot be assigned to any segment and of the affi liated
companies not engaged in activities. At the reporting by segment level, this category includes notably the fi nancial commitments of
the Group (consortium loan).
20
The accounting policies applied in the preparation of the consolidated fi nancial statements as at 30 June 2007 are identical to those
published in the report dated 31 December 2006, but also take into account the new standards that have come into force since then and
are indicated below.
The following new standards, amendments and interpretations have been adopted starting from the accounting period beginning on 1st
January 2007:
– IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures
The new standard requires a signifi cant increase of disclosures on the impact of fi nancial instruments on the fi nancial statements.
It will be refl ected in annual fi nancial statements.
– IFRIC 7 – Applying the Restatement Approach under IAS 29 standard – Financial Reporting in Hyperinfl ationary Economies
– IFRIC 8 – Scope of IFRS 2
– IFRIC 9 – Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives
– IFRIC 10 – Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment
Any impairment of goodwill reported and recognised in the interim report can no longer be reversed in the second half year for presen-
tation in the annual report.
With the exception of the specifi c comments made, these new standards or amendments have no signifi cant impact on the interim
fi nancial statements of Implenia.
New standards, interpretations and amendments to standards that have already been published, but are not yet obligatory:
– IFRS 8 – Operating Segments (for accounting periods starting from 1st January 2009). The application of IFRS 8 will infl uence reporting
and presentation by segments, but it will not have any impact on the consolidated result.
– IFRIC 11 – Group and Treasury Share Transactions according to IFRS 2 (for accounting periods starting from 1st March 2007)
– IFRIC 12 – Service Concession Arrangements (for accounting periods starting from 1st January 2008)
– IFRIC 13 – Customer Loyalty Programmes (for accounting periods starting from 1st July 2008)
The Management has examined these new standards and interpretations and has come to the conclusion that, with the exception of the
comment made on IFRS 8, they will not have a signifi cant impact on the presentation of the fi nancial statements of Implenia.
3 Consolidation scopeMerger
Following the acquisition of the Reuss group in 2006 and with the aim of a simplifi cation of the legal structure, the following
companies were merged with retroactive effect as of 1st January 2007. The company resulting from the merger bears the new name
of Reuss Engineering AG.
Merged companies:
– B+B Engineering AG
– Reuss Management AG
– Reuss FM AG
– Robert Aerni AG
– Reuss Group Holding AG
– S+P Haustechnik AG
This merger of 6 wholly-owned subsidiaries (100%) of the Implenia group has no impact on the presentation of the consolidated fi nancial
statements.
Name changes
Implenia Real Estate SA has changed its name and is now called Implenia Development Ltd.
Reuss Group International AG has changed its name and is now called Implenia Global Solutions Ltd.
Batilabor AG has changed its name and is now called Implenia Investment Management Ltd.
The position as at 30 June 2007 of the affi liated companies is reported on page 29 and 30 of this report.
Financial StatementsNotes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements 21
1 The operating result of the Construction segments has been restated to refl ect the new organisation of the segments. The impact of the reclassifying of the discounts and the result on other fi nancial investments is attributed to the Infra Construction Works segment. (See also the comment on the Income statement).
4 Segment Information
The new operational organisation of the Group is based on the following main sectors of activity:
– general contractor (general planning, general and total contractor)
– real estate (promotion, project development)
– tunnel construction works + TC (undergroud works, total contracting in railway engineering)
– infra construction works (roads and buildings, civil engineering, special construction)
– services (building management, engineering and facility management)
– global Solutions (engineering and project management abroad)
Sectors ‹General contractor›, ‹Real estate› and ‹Services› are gathered within the global segment ‹Real Estate›.
Because Implenia is presently essentially active in Switzerland, no secondary segment disclosure by geographical areas is reported.
Inter-segment transactions are carried out at market conditions.

such tests have been noted by the Management. Consequently, the fi gure for goodwill has not been revalued.
