SHAREHOLDERS’ NEWSLETTERFor Hapimag, 2018 was a successful year. For the first time, our resorts welcomed more than 400 000 guests, and we are able to present a very good operating result once again.
Dear Shareholders
Around 500 years ago, William Shakespeare penned the words “Winning begins with beginning” on a piece of paper. Would he, in today’s digital age, agree to have his words copied and pasted? We hope so. Because his wise words fit Hapimag’s past reporting year wonderfully.
The year 2018 was marked by many innovations. Among other things, we opened a new resort in Cavallino-Treporti, we completed some major renovation projects and worked intensively on improving the quality of our service. The changes and improvements we started to implement at the beginning of the year as part of our “new services” initiative are having a positive impact. The booking situation has significantly improved for the vast majority of our shareholders and members. And we have come a good deal closer to our declared goal of increasing our exchanges with shareholders and members and of making our communication with them transparent.
So we are pleased to announce that once again we achieved a very good operating result of EUR 17,9 million in 2018 and a positive consolidated result of EUR 14,9 million. These good results are attributable to the fact that we increased average occupancy and sales in the resorts.
For the first time in Hapimag’s 55-year history the total of guests rose above 400 000 to around 415 000. At the same time, guest satisfaction remains high. Twenty Hapimag resorts received an award from the independent HolidayCheck rating platform, nine of them were even given a Gold Award. We can be proud of this because it means that we have done a good job.
For 2019, alongside guest satisfaction, attracting new shareholders and digitalisation are the top priorities. Furthermore, we continue to focus on our existing corporate goals: to reach 130 000 shareholders and members by 2022; to generate a sustained number of 3 million overnight stays in the Hapimag resorts; to enhance the reputation of Hapimag and thus the value of our company; to focus on our core business (hospitality) and to increase the quality of our services.
It is important to mention here that Hapimag’s profits will be lower in the coming years. Hapimag keeps its inflation-adjusted annual subscription charges stable and deliberately reduces its earnings in order to generate benefits for its shareholders. For example:
– in the form of discounts on the annual charge
– through higher loyalty premiums for shareholders holding four or more shares
– through the automatic conversion of loyalty premiums into residence points
– through new terms and conditions for cancellations and transfers, for example by waiving the compensation charge.
We look forward to continuing our work in 2019 with energy, passion and determination.
Together with you we will develop Hapimag further. Thank you for the trust you place in us.

Information and control instruments of the Board
of Directors
The Board of Directors is informed monthly about the
fi nancial situation and the ongoing business as part of the
comprehensive Management Information System (MIS).
The MIS prepares every month an income statement, cash
fl ow statement and various key fi gures and compares the
current fi gures to the previous year and to the budget.
The CEO reports to the Board of Directors meetings and
in part to the committee meetings about ongoing day-to-
day operations, the fi nancial situation and the main business
transactions, as well as the execution of duties that were
assigned and upcoming projects.
Every quarter, the CEO informs the Board of Directors
about the main risks and his assessment of the risks on the
basis of the relevance and likelihood of the risk (risk report).
The Board of Directors takes note of the measures defi ned
and to be implemented by the Executive Board to mitigate
the risks and monitors the implementation.
Executive Committee (EC)
The Board of Directors has established a professional
Executive Committee that works full-time for Hapimag and
which is led by the CEO for the operational management
of the Hapimag Group. The EC prepares the decisions of
the Board of Directors and implements its resolutions.
In the reporting year, the EC focused on the following
issues in addition to its normal operating business: to
reach the fi gure of 130 000 shareholders and members;
to generate a sustained number of 3 million overnight
stays in the Hapimag resorts; to enhance the reputation
of Hapimag and thus the value of the company; to focus
on the core business (hospitality) and to increase the
quality of services.
Management Team (MNGT)
The MNGT is the operational management level below
the Executive Committee. The members of the MNGT
report to the CEO or another member of the EC. They
are appointed and recalled by the CEO.
Shareholders’ participation rights
The shareholders as investors have the final decision in the
company. Their decision-making authorities are determined
by law and the Articles of Association. It should be menti-
oned in particular that the individual right to place matters
on the agenda at the Annual General Meeting goes,
in part, well beyond the usual standard (see Art. 11 of the
Articles of Association).
At the 54 th Annual General Meeting on 25 April 2018, there
were 378 shareholders in attendance with a total of 65 049.
The shareholders approved the annual financial statem-
ents and consolidated financial statements for 2017 and
the audit reports. Andreas Winiarski was elected to the
Board of Directors to replace Hans Peter König. The Annual
General Meeting approved the proposal to conduct
a special audit but rejected the second proposal.
14
Reviewing Advisory Board
In 2018, the Annual General Meeting added a new provision
to the Articles of Association regarding a Reviewing
Advisory Board. The Reviewing Advisory Board is an inde-
pendent controlling body and, on behalf of the Annual
General Meeting, reviews compliance with regulations by
the company management and its activities, insofar as the
review is not within the scope of the auditors. It is com-
posed of three shareholders that are elected by the Annual
General Meeting based on the recommendation of the
Board of Directors for a term of offi ce of two years each.
The Reviewing Advisory Board will be elected for the fi rst
time at the 2019 Annual General Meeting and will then
take up its responsibilities.
Auditor
The auditor is elected by the Annual General Meeting for
a term of one year. KPMG has been the auditing body
of Hapimag AG since 2001 and also the Group auditor.
The lead auditor for the 2018 fi nancial year is Nicole
Charrière Roos.
The auditors fulfi l the duties incumbent on them in accor-
dance with the law, the Articles of Association, the regu-
lations and the applicable accounting standards and are
in direct contact with the company management.
Information policy
Hapimag’s communication with its shareholders, members,
business partners and employees is open, direct and
transparent. The aim is to provide information about the
company in a transparent manner and provide timely
information about the business development as well as
a true picture of the development of the company.

Our ownership strategy
Our ownership strategy defines the strategic goals the
shareholders and members want to achieve as owners of
Hapimag. The focus is on fulfilling the following interests
of shareholders and members:
– The individual holiday needs of shareholders and
members are met.
– Hapimag shareholders and members have priority
over third-party users and enjoy special conditions.
– Hapimag is competitive in the holiday provider market.
– Growth is controlled and sustainable.
– Risks are minimized by consistently applying
control instruments.
– Communication and accounting are transparent.
Implementing shareholders‘ and members‘ interests based
on the ownership strategy requires a clear performance
mandate at management level of Hapimag, as well as the
development and implementation of control instruments
for the Board of Directors.
Our corporate strategy
Shareholder and member satisfaction as well as the financial
stability of Hapimag are at the core of our long-term,
sustainable corporate strategy. We focus on the following
four strategic priorities:
– Service quality: Offering existing shareholders and
members the best possible service – both in person
while they are on holiday and as part of the expert
advice given by employees before, during and after
the holiday with respect to our full product range and
potential offers.
– Communication: We maintain regular, transparent and
open communication with existing and potential share-
holders and members. In this respect, we mainly use
online channels to reach the widest possible audience.
– Corporate culture: We give our employees more
decision-making powers to foster a motivating corporate
culture.
– Cost optimisation: We review and improve all processes,
structures and technologies to reduce complexity and
to lower costs.
The focus when implementing these priorities of the cor-
porate strategy is on various core aspects. We constantly
improve our services to ensure optimal quality to better
fulfil the wishes and needs of as many shareholders,
members and guests as possible. Quality is our top priority
and is constantly reviewed. Our understanding of quality
centres on:
– Hospitality: We increase our service quality and aim
to raise the occupancy of the resorts. Starting in 2022,
the Hapimag resorts will generate 3 million overnight
stays per year for the long term.
– Sustainability: Our product is built around sustainability
and continuity. The longer people spend on holiday with
Hapimag, the more everyone benefits. Families often stay
with Hapimag over generations. We encourage families
to pass on shares from generation to generation.
OUR STRATEGYThe strategy sets out the framework for the future orientation of Hapimag’s strategic priorities and defines how we should achieve our goals over the medium and long term. It is developed by the Board of Directors with the support of the Strategy and Marketing Committee. The ownership strategy is created by the Board of Directors and aims to develop Hapimag over the long term with a focus on its owners – the shareholders and members.
Management report

The positioning of Hapimag and the individual resorts
is based on clarity and uniqueness. We strengthen the
perception of Hapimag as a sustainable holiday provider
that combines tradition and innovation and that takes a
long-term approach. Furthermore, the individual resorts
from Hapimag’s range of offers are highlighted and their
offer is clearly communicated. This supports our:
– Product and sales strategy: Among existing share-
holders and members as well as new customers, the
focus is on the Hapimag Classic share. Our sales strategy
is the acquisition of potential new customers via online
channels and an attractive programme of recommen-
dations for our existing customers. We aim to familiarise
every guest in our resorts with Hapimag and directly
address potential customers.
We see regular and transparent communication as a key
aspect of member satisfaction. Our main focus is on:
– Shareholders and members: The strong support
given to Hapimag shareholders and members and our
communication with them play an important role. We
engage in proactive, timely and transparent communi-
cation. We aim to reach a figure of 130 000 shareholders
and members by 2022.
– Digitalisation: The main focus is on modern online com-
munication, as this allows us to reach a greater audience
and the next generation. Online communication makes
us faster and more effective. Furthermore, it enables
us to reduce the production of printed materials, in line
with our principles of cost optimisation and sustainability.
Our corporate culture is based on the skills and expertise
of our employees. We pay special attention to empowering
our employees by giving them more:
– Decision-making responsibilities: We let our employees
make more decisions, in line with our responsible
management and performance culture. By doing so, we
foster a sense of appreciation and trust, which helps
ensure that we can support our shareholders and members
more efficiently and professionally.
We constantly analyse our processes so that we can opti-
mise costs in key areas. Our corporate culture encourages
us to scrutinise various areas of responsibility in our pro-
cesses and enables us to use resources sustainably.
Our business model
Hapimag’s business model is based on the concept of
sharing & caring. The resorts and the associated infrastruc-
ture are financed collectively by many people, and they
can use the resorts for their individual holidays. Hapimag
shares are the “key” to the Hapimag holiday world. They
entitle shareholders to use all the Hapimag resorts. Hapimag
shares are not traded on a stock exch ange and do not pay
out dividends; rather, they are purely holiday shares that
are credited a set number of residence points each year.
The number of residence points required for a holiday
apartment depends on the resort and the season. Local
charges also apply. These charges cover the operating
costs, specific services offered by the resorts as well as the
local taxes. The annual subscription charges paid by share-
holders and members cover the main costs of operating
and administering the resorts and the group head office
as well as renovations. Each shareholder is entitled to vote
at the Annual General Meeting.
We have been fortunate to experience a lot of wonderful Hapimag moments. The location of the resorts is also very good, and the courtesy and organisation from the employees were faultless. Francesco Nicolais and Carmelina Orfeo,

BUSINESS PERFORMANCEReview of 2018: Results, events and activities for shareholders and members – from the resorts, the company and individual areas.
Shareholders and members
Hapimag thanked its existing shareholders and members
for their trust through various promotions and measures.
They were able to go on a points-free holiday at a different
Hapimag resort each week. These points-free weeks
were very popular. In many locations, only a few apartments
were still unoccupied. In addition, a spring and autumn
promotion was held for new and subsequent purchases
where members purchasing one share benefited from
additional residence points. 903 shares were sold in this
way. Until the end of September, it was possible to com-
plete the genera tional change at particularly favourable
conditions. However, expectations were not met, as
the number of shares that were transferred within families
was 1546 (previous year: 3866).
We have come closer to our goal of improving communi-
cation with the existing shareholders and members. Our
culture of discussion has improved perceptibly since the
introduction of the CEO Blog in May 2017. So far, 13 blog
entries have been published. The suggestions and ideas
submitted by shareholders and members have been
incorporated directly in our work. Lively and constructive
debates help us improve Hapimag continually. At the
end of the year, the CEO Blog had around 21 000 readers.
Information, share holder and member events at selected
locations offered another opportunity for face-to-face
discussion. In line with the principles of sustainability, cost
optimisation and modern communication, 9365 additi-
onal shareholders and members switched to electronic
mailing.
Since the beginning of 2018, Hapimag has been reorga-
nizing many processes and services. The booking situation
has significantly improved for the vast majority of our
shareholders and members as a result. Because the book-
ing period has been extended and is now up to 18 months,
beach resorts that were very quickly booked out in the
past, have more and longer capacity. Moreover, less
accommodation was blocked and availability increased
because reservations are now only possible if enough
points are on the account.
In 2018, the Hapimag Member Service in Steinhausen
received 185 146 calls and answered around 77 500
e-mail requests. There were 165 026 apartment reservations,
with the most made online (58,2 %), while 41,8 % were in
writing, by phone or made directly at the resorts. In 2018,
a total of 5328 product transfers were made (previous
year: 7379). We also simplified the work steps for proces-
sing transfers. As part of the drive to optimise service
offerings for all shareholders and members, the Dutch
Service Point in Waardenburg was integrated into the
Service Point Central in Steinhausen. The Service Points
in Milan (IT) and Bodrum (TR) will remain unchanged.
For the new customer business, the focus was on develo-
ping a new sales strategy centred on the core product,
as well as optimising the new customers and selling pro-
cess. Moreover, a sales team was newly established, direct
marketing gradually phased out and external Consul-
tants are no longer used. All told, 1324 shares were sold
(previous year: 1628), of which 419 to new customers.
The number of sales to new customers tripled when com-
pared to the previous year.

Resorts
At 72,4 %, the occupancy rate at the resorts (previous year:
71,8 %) was above the level of the previous year. The
resorts Athens, Damnoni, Interlaken, Marrakech and Paris,
in particular, recorded the biggest increase in occupancy
rates. The number of guests at the resorts rose to 414 916
(previous year: 382 153), equivalent to a growth rate of
8,6 %. Travel flexibility is an important factor: more and
more share holders and members opted to book by the
day, which has an impact on the number of guests.
Alps: The Hapimag Alpine resorts posted an occupancy
rate of 69,9 % (previous year: 68,7 %), making them very
popular. The highest occupancy rates were the resorts in
Zell am See and Interlaken, with rates of 86,7 % and 75,8 %,
respectively. The resorts Interlaken and Flims saw the
biggest increase in occupancy, up 9 % and 7 %, respecti-
vely, versus the previous year. The Swiss resorts once
again increased their occupancy to 75,5 % (+ 3,7 %). The
resort Sonnleitn in the “Alps” cluster posted the lowest
occupancy with 54,4 %, although an encouraging increase
was recorded after the renovation.
Nature & Relaxation, Country: The Hapimag Resort
Marrakech once again recorded substantially more book-
ings (60,6 %, +21 %). The highest occupancy rate was
recorded by the resort Merano at 89,9 % (previous year:
90,1 %). The resort Punkaharju had the lowest occupancy
rate at 39,6 % (previous year: 41,3 %).
Nature & Relaxation, Sea: The Marbella (91,1 %) and
La Madrague (87,9 %) resorts recorded the best occupancy
figures in this category. The resort Mas Nou had the
lowest occupancy rate at 50,2 % (previous year: 56,4 %).
Sun & Sea: After a challenging last few years, the resort
Bodrum posted another increase in occupancy. At 32,9 %
(previous year: 31,0 %), it is still one of the least popular
resorts in the Sun & Sea category. At 88,4 % each, the resort
Binz and the newly opened resort in Cavallino proved
to be the most popular destinations in the “Sun & Sea”
category. The resort Damnoni posted the biggest increase
in occupancy (+ 6 %), which rose to 82,2 %.
Cities: City resorts continue to enjoy widespread popula-
rity, with average occupancy very high at 81,2 % (previous
year: 79,1 %). The top three resorts in terms of occupancy
were Berlin Gendarmenmarkt (93,2 %), Vienna (92,9 %)
and Lisbon (91,7 %). The resort Athens posted an increase
of 22 % to 76,6 %, and the resort Paris increased 7 % to
86,7 % versus the previous year. At 55,4 % (previous year:
59,5 %), Prague had the lowest occupancy in the city
resorts category. The resort London remained closed for
renovation.
The offer of services in the resorts was further expanded.
A uniform arrival e-mail service was developed for all
resorts to enable our guests to arrive even better-infor-
med. The implementation of a new child concept has
been completed. The resorts in Westerland Dünenblick,
Prague and Merano now include Honesty Shops & Bars,
and in Saalbach ski passes are now offered in the resort.
Eleven resorts were equipped with electric vehicle char-
ging points. Charging points are planned for further re-
sorts in 2019.
We can count on quality and rely on a high standard. That’s why also our children spend their holidays with Hapimag. Anette and Bernd Dittmann, guests at

Successful further training and development projects
were continued: An online training course for communi-
cation coor dinators was launched, together with a further
training programme for internal trainers. The trainers
are familiarised with various current issues, which promotes
the transfer of knowledge. On top of this, the Young
Generation Manager programme was kicked off in spring
2018, where five talents are systematically prepared for a
management position in the resorts. In addition, the resorts
Antibes, Bad Gastein, Paguera, Flims and Marbella were
recognised for their good ideas and innovations as part
of the internal “Resort Champion Awards 2018”.
Guest satisfaction remains high (84,0 %). The Hamburg
resort achieved the highest level of guest satisfaction
with 92,5 %. Moreover, 20 Hapimag resorts received an
award from the independent HolidayCheck rating platform,
nine of them were even given a Gold Award. The guest
favourites include the Hapimag resorts in Marbella,
Pentolina and Ascona.
Openings and renovations
In summer 2018, Hapimag opened a new resort, Cavallino-
Treporti, on Italy’s Adriatic coast close to Venice. After
around 22 months of construction work, 125 new holiday
apartments are now available to shareholders and mem-
bers. The resort boasts a restaurant serving local specia-
lities; there is a shop with a snack bar and ice cream parlour,
as well as open-air swimming facilities comprising a
children’s pool. A wellness area will be added in 2019.
The Porto Heli resort was reopened in May of last year fol-
lowing an extensive renovation. The renovation work was
completed earlier than planned. The renovation of the
resort London continues to pose a challenge because of
the stringent listed building regulations, on top of which
tighter fire safety regulations need to be taken into
account. In addition, there have been disagreements
with the general contractor.
In 2018, extensive maintenance work was carried out
on the façades, windows and roof of the Hapimag Resort
Amsterdam, while value-preserving investments were
made in Sonnleitn, which included modernisation of the
wellness area and the renovation of building foundations.
Further smaller renovation and maintenance work was
also carried out. Four suites were renovated at the Hapimag
Resort Edinburgh, the resort in Albufeira received a new
beach and multi-sports area, and in Bodrum the Laguna
bar was renovated. In Cefalù a new youth club was installed
at the beach, the beach area was extended and the out-
door pool terrace was completely renovated. In Scerne the
water sports offer was expanded, in Ascona the indoor
pool and air conditioning were renovated. In Tonda the
renovation of the reception was completed; in Unterkirnach
Wi-Fi was installed throughout the resort; Winterberg
received a new playground, Bad Gastein a new child play
area and relaxation room in the wellness area and St. Michael
a new shop.
Company
In 2018, our focus was once again on increasing sales and
optimising costs. We pursued these goals systematically,
which had a positive impact on the results. The changes
and improvements that were implemented at the beginning
of the year as part of the “new services” initiative had
a positive impact. The booking situation has significantly
improved for the vast majority of our shareholders and
members.
In 2018, there were 1,75 million points transferred (previous
year: 1,73 million) between shareholders and members,
slightly up from last year. Most of these involved direct
transfers – from shareholders and members to other
shareholders and members – with 46 % of points trans-
fers made via the Points Kiosk at an average price of
EUR 3,46. The number of expiry points remained un-
changed at 2,3 million when compared with the previous
year. Hapimag took various measures in 2018 to keep
the number of expiry points to a minimum. For example,
shareholders and members are regularly informed on
various channels about when their points are due to ex-
pire. Telephone contact with the Service Points proved
1 Hapimag Resort Scerne di Pineto
2 Hapimag Resort Cavallino
22
to be effective for short-notice reservations. The number
of share buy-backs was 2611, lower than in the previous
year (2017: 3897).
In April 2018, employees at the Hapimag headquarter
moved to new office premises in Steinhausen. The cost
for the own office building amounted to CHF 39,5 million
(exchange rate EUR / CHF 1.127 = EUR 35,0 million).
Marketing to third parties
Hapimag markets vacant accommodation to third parties
in a targeted, controlled and limited way. The main reason
is to avoid empty beds, in line with Hapimag’s general
strategy. Prices are calculated such that residence points
and local charges are covered as a minimum. Hapimag
guarantees shareholders and members that it will keep
sufficient accommodation available for their use. The com-
pany holds a number of shares for which no residence
points have been credited, which enables Hapimag
to always fulfil this commitment to its shareholders and
members while still marketing to third parties.
Marketing to third parties has many advantages: it increa-
ses occupancy, in line with the idea of sustainability
behind the Hapimag concept. It also helps improve the
company‘s image, which helps attract new shareholders
and members. However, the main aim is to generate
valuable income, which will in turn reduce costs for share-
holders and members. It helps keep annual subscription
charges stable.
Occupancy from marketing to third parties accounted for
8,5 % in 2018 (compared with 6,9 % in the previous year)
of the total overnight stays. Not including Hotel Sea Garden
Bodrum, 78 % of third-party occupancy nights were genera-
ted in the low season (C and D season).
Marketing to third parties in 2018 generated around
EUR 2,1 million for the Hapimag Resort Bodrum, around
EUR 1,3 million for the resort Orlando, around EUR 1,1 million
for the resort Interlaken and around EUR 1,0 million for
the resort Winterberg. The total income generated through
marketing to third parties (accommodation sales, not
taking into account sales relating to gastronomy) in 2018
amounted to around EUR 7,8 million (8,3 % of total sales
for resorts). This income helps us to cover our fixed costs.
It is also a source of income that is taken into account
when deter mining local charges and the annual subscrip-
tion charges, helping to make them significantly lower
than they would otherwise be. In the interest of efficiency,
we decided to market vacant accommodation via online
booking portals in 2018. Across all resorts, sales generated
through marketing to third parties increased by around
19 %. The Hapimag Resort Interlaken, for example, continued
the previous year’s successful performance by more
than doubling sales generated through marketing to third
parties. Sales through marketing to third parties at the
Bodrum resort were increased by 7 % compared to 2017.

FINANCEOperating result was once again gratifying at EUR 17,9 million. Sales rose by EUR 5,1 million versus the previous year. Hapimag carried out a total of EUR 22,4 million in renovations on its properties in 2018.
The 2018 consolidated financial statement of Hapimag
shows a consolidated result of EUR 14,9 million (previous
year: EUR 11,1 million). Operating result rose from
EUR 12,9 million to EUR 17,9 million. At EUR 184,8 million,
Hapimag’s operating income was up EUR 8,2 million com-
pared to the previous year (EUR 176,6 million). This in-
crease is primarily due to the rise in sales and occupancy
in the resorts division and higher income from exercised
rights of residence. Operating expenses excluding the
cost of sales and services rose by EUR 1,1 million to EUR
145,0 million (previous year: EUR 143,9 million; up 0,8 %).
In Member Services, the services were further optimised
over the past few months. Most enquiries are received
over the telephone or online. As a result, and due to the
decline in demand for local assistance, from January 2019
the Dutch Service Point in Waardenburg is integrated
into the Service Point Central in Steinhausen. This decision
will bring further sustained savings in personnel and infra-
structure costs with out reducing the existing quality
of services and advice. The services of the Service Points
in Düsseldorf and Wiesbaden were already moved to
the head office in 2017. This has created synergies with
the existing Service Point Central Region on a sustained
basis.
The Resorts division contributed to a good operating
performance. In total, sales at the resorts rose by 9,0 %
versus the previous year to EUR 94,2 million. The most
notable increases were achieved by the resorts Bodrum,
Cannero, Damnoni, Interlaken, La Madrague and Sonnleitn.
Although the resort London was not available due to
renovation work, the resorts increased the number of
guests by a total of 32 763 to 414 916 guests (previous year:
382 153; up 8,6 %). In total, the number of overnight stays
also rose to 2 817 253 (previous year: 2 688 525). These
increases are also attributable to the new resort in Cavallino
and the Porto Heli resort, which has been reopened fol-
lowing renovation. The average length of stay decreased
to 6,79 days (previous year: 7,04 days), reflecting the trend
for more frequent, shorter trips. In 2018, operating result
in the Resorts division increased to EUR 10,4 million (pre-
vious year: EUR 9,4 million).
The number of Hapimag shareholders fell by 1079 to
106 736 as a result of the continuation of the buy-back pro-
gramme, which has enabled shareholders in recent years
to convert their shares into traditi onal points products.
Shareholders who took advantage of this option are still
Hapimag members. The number of shareholders and mem-
bers declined from 128 539 to 125 558.

In implementing the strategic goal of focusing on the
core business, personnel expenses at the headquarters
were further reduced (by 3,6 % to EUR 18,8 million).
In 2018, investments amounted to EUR 56,5 million (pre-
vious year: EUR 62,2 million). These mainly comprised
expenditure on renovating the resorts London and Porto
Heli – as described under “Openings and renovations” –
as well as on the two new buildings in Cavallino and the
administration building in Steinhausen.
Hapimag carried out a total of EUR 22,4 million worth
of renovations on its properties in 2018 (previous year:
EUR 25,6 million). EUR 6,2 million was spent on main-
tenance and repair work at the resorts (previous year:
EUR 6,0 million). Depreciation and amortisation amoun-
ted to EUR 30,9 million (previous year: EUR 31,8 mil lion),
and thereby corresponded to 44 % of annual subscription
charges.
As a result of investment activities of the new resort in
Cavallino and the new administration building in Stein-
hausen, free cash flow fell to EUR – 35,1 million (previous
year: EUR – 27,8 million), with net debt increasing to
EUR – 43,9 million (previous year: net debt EUR – 7,4 million).
The equity ratio of 46 % (previous year: 47 %) and a pro-
portion of internal operating resources of 72 % (previous
year: 73 %) continued to provide Hapimag with a solid
financial base despite the net debt. The equity-to-fixed
assets ratio stands at 76 % (previous year: 78 %).
Accounting
Hapimag is obliged by Swiss law to prepare both statutory
financial statements and consolidated financial statements
of Hapimag AG.
The consolidated financial statements of Hapimag include
balance sheet and income statement items for all Hapimag
companies. As such, the consolidated financial statem-
ents give a true and fair view of the Hapimag Group’s net
assets, financial position and results of operations. The
consolidated financial statements are prepared in accor-
dance with the recommendations on accounting (Swiss
GAAP FER).
The resorts owned by Hapimag AG itself (in Portugal,
Austria, Switzerland and Finland), their results, and the
activities of the head office are to be found in the statutory
financial statements of Hapimag AG. The other resorts
are owned indirectly through local companies. These com-
panies are recognised as investments in the statutory
financial statements of Hapimag AG. The statutory financial
statements are prepared in accordance with the Swiss
Code of Obligations.
The financial report of the consolidated financial statements
is presented on pages 26 to 57 and that of the statutory
financial statements on pages 58 to 66. The accounting
policies for the consolidated financial statements are
shown on pages 34 to 38 and for the statutory financial
statements on page 61.

in equity. When calculating internal operating resources, this item is added to equity since the shares remain in circulation until such point in time as the call option
has been exercised.

An overwhelming portion of the Hapimag Group’s sales is generated with shareholders. Prices of services in Hapimag’s core business are based
on the principle of covering prime costs. The company has no plans to distribute reserves.
Sales of shares are converted using average annual exchange rates (see Note 22). Deviations from historical rates for sold shares are taken into account
under “Reclassifications”.

Reporting company
The consolidated financial statements include Hapimag AG,
Steinhausen as the parent company and the subsidiaries where
the parent company controls the investee (collectively referred
to as “the Group” or “Hapimag”, individually as “Group com-
panies”). There are no holdings in which the stake is less than
100 %. The companies included in the consolidated statements
are listed on page 54.
Declaration of conformity
The consolidated financial statements of Hapimag AG have
been prepared in accordance with the recommendations
on accounting (Swiss GAAP FER) and give a true and fair view
of the net assets, financial position and results of operations.
The consolidated financial statements were approved by the
Board of Directors of Hapimag AG on 5 March 2019. They
are also subject to approval by the Annual General Meeting
on 26 April 2019.
Consolidation principles
100 % of assets and liabilities, income and expense are recog-
nised in accordance with the full consolidation method. Inter-
company transactions (receivables and liabilities, income and
expenditures) are eliminated. Unrealised gains on intercom-
pany transactions and balances are eliminated through profit
or loss.
Capital consolidation is done in accordance with the acquisi-
tion method. The acquisition cost of an acquired company
is offset against its net assets measured at fair value at the
acquisition date.
Consolidation is based on the individual financial statements
of the Group companies which are prepared in accordance
with uniform accounting principles. The accounting principles
are consistently applied. The standard effective date is
31 December. The consolidated financial statements have
been prepared, apart from derivative financial instruments,
according to the cost method.
The consolidated financial statements are presented in euro
(EUR), rounded to the thousand. The functional currency of
the parent company Hapimag AG is the Swiss franc. The reason
for choosing the euro as the presentation currency is the
international orientation of the Group and the fact that EUR
is already the functional currency of most Group companies.
Currency translation
Foreign currency transactions
The local currency is considered the functional currency of all
Group companies. Transactions in foreign currencies are con-
verted into the functional currency at the spot rate applicable
on the date the transaction was processed. Cash assets and
liabilities denominated in a foreign currency held on 31 Decem-
ber are converted into the functional currency at the exchange
rate valid on the balance sheet date. Differences arising from
translation on the balance sheet date are recognised in profit
or loss and shown in the financial result.
Translation in the financial statements to be consolidated
The financial statements to be consolidated in foreign currencies
will be translated to the presentation currency EUR. The trans-
lation is done in accordance with the balance sheet date method.
Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate valid
on the balance sheet date. Equity is kept at historical rates.
Earnings and expenditures are converted at the average exch-
ange rates for the period concerned. Translation differences as
well as the foreign currency effects on long-term equity-
like Group loans are recognised in equity and are presented
as currency translation adjustments under Other reserves in
equity. The cumulative currency translation adjustments arising
from the translation of financial statements and Group loans
are recognised in profit or loss when a subsidiary is sold.
Presentation in the consolidated cash flow statement
The consolidated cash flow statement is presented according
to the indirect method. The change in the liability arising
from rights of residence is allocated as cash flow to “Cash
flows from operating activities”. The amounts recorded directly
in shareholders’ equity from sales and repurchase of own
shares, on the other hand, are presented as financing activities.
NOTES TO THE 2018 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF HAPIMAG AG
1. Consolidated accounting policies
35
Business model and revenue recognition
Hapimag builds and operates its own resorts, which are pri-
marily made available to Hapimag shareholders and members.
Hapimag sells equity and non-equity right-of-residence pro-
ducts (referred to as other right-of-residence products). A per-
son becomes a member by acquiring a right-of-residence
product, and becomes a shareholder by acquiring a share.
Members are credited right-of-residence products once or on a
recurring basis per right-of-residence product. Members are
entitled to book and use accommodations in Hapimag resorts
that are available in exchange for residence points. Hapimag is
obliged to provide the necessary accommodation for all rights
of residence.
The legal relationship between Hapimag and its shareholders
is defined both by its Articles of Association and by the General
Terms and Conditions for acquiring shares. Separate General
Terms and Conditions apply to all other right-of-residence
products.
A) Sales of right-of-residence products
Sales of shares including rights of residence
Only shares that were bought back (so-called depot shares)
are sold (see Own shares). Depot shares that are resold are
reported in the income statement as revenue from the sale
of shares, provided that the proceeds exceed the value under
“Own shares” (corresponds to the buy-back price).
Shareholders are credited with 60 residence points per share
each year, which are not reported on the balance sheet.
Shareholders are contractually obligated to provide the fi-
nancial means, in the form of annual subscription charges, for
managing and maintaining the accommodations they finance.
Thus there are no liabilities for Hapimag to be recognised.
Sale of other right-of-residence products
The selling price of other residence right-of-residence products
includes the components of amortisation of accommodation,
the prepaid operational cost amounts of the annual subscription
charge and sales of other right-of-residence products. For
invoices for the sales of other right-of-residence products, the
three components are booked as follows:
The amortisation part is booked in liabilities from rights of
residence (current and non-current liabilities) and the prepaid
operational costs part of the subscription charge is booked
under liabilities (accrued expenses and deferred income and
other non-current liabilities). Sale proceeds exceeding that
amount are recognised in the income statement as revenue
from the sale of other right-of-residence products.
When rights of residence are claimed, there is a reduction in
both liabilities arising from rights of residence as well as accrued
expenses and deferred income (number of points times the
amount per point entered as a liability). The reduction in liabili-
ties arising from rights of residence is credited to income
from exercised rights of residence and the reduction in accrued
expenses and deferred income is credited as sales generated
by annual subscription charges.
B) Annual subscription charges
The annual subscription charges of shares and other right-of-
residence products are invoiced at the start of the calendar
year and entered as sales, provided that the charges are not
included in the product price. The first annual charge for the
purchase year is entered as a sale at the time the share is sold.
C) Resort sales
Resort sales basically include the income from local charges
and services as well as net sales from the sale of goods. These
sales are booked in the period in which the services or supplies
were provided.
D) Cancellation of right-of-residence contract
With the purchase of an equity product from July 2007 onwards,
the shareholder also receives the right to cancel the contract
after a certain term. The minimum term is seven years in most
cases. The precise cancellation deadlines are set down in the
individual contract documents. From the point in time at which
the cancellation enters into force, the shareholder will not be
sent any further invoices for annual subscription charges and
no further residence points will be credited to the member’s
account. These rights were also offered to other shareholders
who acquired the shares prior to July 2007.
36
E) Share repurchase
In connection with the sale of shares until 30 June 2007,
Hapimag will repurchase shares offered by shareholders for
repurchase (including right of residence) in the amount of
10 % of the shares sold to new shareholders. The repurchase
price contains a repurchase discount.
According to the General Terms and Conditions of the Hapimag
Share 21 (sold between 1 July 2007 and 31 August 2012), these
shares may be bought back in an amount no greater than the
amount of shares sold in the calendar year. This repurchase
obligation includes the previously mentioned share buy-backs.
As of the balance sheet date, all repurchase obligations had
been fulfilled and there existed no open obligations to redeem
other shares.
Hapimag is not subject to a repurchase obligation for the equity
products sold as of September 2012 and can instead exercise
its discretion freely when deciding to repurchase shares. The
repurchase price for these equity products is the net asset
value. This value is determined by dividing the amount of inter-
nal operating resources (= shareholders’ equity, loans from
shareholders and investment subsidies) according to the Hapimag
consolidated balance sheet by the number of Hapimag shares
in circulation at the end of the year. The balance sheet of the
financial year before the payment is decisive.
F) Exchange of shares
Since 2014, shareholders have been offered options for ad-
justing or terminating their membership. Shares exchanged
and taken back within the scope of these offerings are recog-
nised in a manner similar to the repurchase of shares.
G) Redemption of residence points under the Hapimag
Reward Program and other residence points
All Hapimag members and shareholders participate in the
Hapimag Reward Program. Under the Reward Program, a
member’s turnover with Hapimag is converted into Rewards
using a defined set of factors and credited to the respective
member. Rewards are also credited for all successful member
referrals. The Rewards collected during a calendar year could
be redeemed within the specified period at any time until the
end of June 2018 in residence points or in early booking-levels
and -options (only until the end of March 2018). In addition,
at the beginning of April 2018 all early booking-levels and
-options as well as at the end of June 2018, all Rewards from
the current year that had not yet been redeemed were con-
verted into residence points. As of July 2018, the collected
Rewards were automatically converted into residence points.
For 10 Rewards three high- or six low- season points were
credited in 2018. Other residence points include point vouchers
as referral bonuses, member compensations and points granted
to employees. The issuing of these residence points is recog-
nised in the income statement and booked under “Liabilities
from rights of residence.” If rights-of-residence are utilised,
the liability is released as income.
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank balances
as well as short-notice fixed term deposits with maturities of
up to 90 days, calculated from the date of acquisition.
Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are booked at market value
on the date of acquisition, less transaction costs. Unrealised
profits and losses from the fair value measurement of these
instruments are recognised in the income statement in the
financial result.
Trade receivables and other current receivables
Trade receivables and other current receivables are recorded
at nominal values minus value corrections for credit risk. Groups
of receivables with a similar risk profile, where there are indica-
tions that the outstanding amount will not be received in full, are
subject to a general value correction. The general value correc-
tion is based on experience and on the assumption that the
longer a receivable is outstanding, the greater the credit risk is.
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of goods that are required for the
operation of the resorts or are sold in them. They are valued
at their acquisition cost or, if lower, their net realisable value. The
acquisition cost is equivalent to the average acquisition cost.
NOTES TO THE 2018 CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF HAPIMAG AG
37
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant & equipment are stated at acquisition or produc-
tion cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Parts of buildings with different useful lives are recognised se-
parately. Property, plant & equipment or their separately recog-
nised components are depreciated on a straight line basis over
their estimated useful life:
Building shells 40 – 60 years
Internal and external building installations 15 – 30 years
Technical installations 10 – 15 years
Other equipment and furnishings 4 – 12,5 years
Houseboats including fixtures 12,5 years
IT systems, vehicles 4 – 5 years
Land is not depreciated, with the exception of impairment
losses. Expenditure on the replacement of separate compo-
nents of buildings is capitalised. Other investments are only
capitalised if they increase the future economic benefit of
the asset. Assets under construction are assets that are not
yet complete or not yet ready for use. They are capitalised
but not depreciated, though they undergo an impairment test
if there are indications that this is required. Financing costs
for qualifying assets are capitalised.
The following are not capitalised: all maintenance and repair
work additional to the renovation cycle, the direct costs
of Hapimag staff and start-up costs. These are recognised
in the income statement as operating expenses.
The acquisition of property, plant & equipment by leasing
is insignificant. All leased items are classified as “operating
leases” and thus are not capitalised in the balance sheet.
Intangible assets
Intangible assets are recognised in the balance sheet at acquisi-
tion or production cost less amortisation and impairment losses
and are amortised over their expected useful lives as follows:
Software 4 – 5 years
Licenses and rights of use Term of contract
Impairment losses
The book value of all assets, excluding inventories, is reviewed
on the balance sheet date to identify any signs of possible
impairment loss. If so, the attainable amount is calculated. The
recoverable amount is the higher of the value in use and the
net market value less disposal costs. The value of an asset is
impaired if its book amount exceeds the recoverable amount.
The book value is reduced to the recoverable amount if this
is the case. The impairment is recognised in profit or loss.
Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are recognised at nominal values. Liabilities
to banks are recognised as current liabilities, provided they are
due within 12 months.
Loans from shareholders
Until 28 February 2000, when a share was sold, part of the
investment requirement (CHF 1100) was recognised as a liability
in “Loans from shareholders”. The loan was non-redeemable,
non-interest-bearing and included in the General Terms of
Membership. In the case of a repurchase of shares with loans,
the loan originally recognised as a liability is transferred to equi-
ty (capital reserves). This accounts for the continuous decrease
of loans from shareholders from the perspective of the nominal
currency (CHF).
Liabilities from rights of residence
These liabilities arise from the sale of other right-of-residence
products (see Section A) and the credit of residence points in
connection with the Reward Program as well as other residence
points (see Section G). For the rights of residence exercised
in the reporting year, there is a release to the income statement
of these liabilities under the position “Income from exercised
rights of residence” (see notes on revenue recognition).
Investment subsidies
Hapimag’s activities in some countries entitle it to investment
subsidies. These are presented upon receipt in “Other liabili-
ties”, and – if the fulfilment of all associated conditions is con-
sidered probable – recognised on a straight-line basis over the
investment’s useful life as “Other operating income”.
38
Income taxes
Income taxes include current and deferred taxes for the period.
These are calculated at current or actually expected national
tax rates. Current income tax includes expected taxes on the
results of Group companies determined in accordance with
local tax legislation, as well as supplementary tax and tax
refunds in respect of prior years. The annual accrual of deferred
taxes is based on a balance sheet-oriented view. Deferred
taxes are calculated on the temporary differences between
the balance sheet values of the tax balance sheets and those
used in the consolidated financial statements. Deferred tax
assets are recognised only in the amount of deferred income
tax liabilities.
Employee pension liabilities
There are different retirement schemes in the Group for em-
ployees in accordance with the relevant national regulations.
The actual economic effects of the employee pension plans
are assessed annually and calculated on the balance sheet date.
The employees of Hapimag AG, Steinhausen are insured
by a legally independent pension scheme (Hapimag Pension
Fund). The calculation of any surplus or shortfall is based on
the annual financial statements of the Hapimag Pension Fund
prepared in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER 26. For foreign
pension plans, the calculation of the economic obligation is
based on the country-specific recognised methods. Economic
benefits arising from a surplus in the Pension Fund are recog-
nised as assets where they are used for future expenditure on
occupational pensions by the company. Economic obliga-
tions are recognised as liabilities where the conditions for
the creation of a provision are met. Changes to the economic
benefit or obligation are recognised in the income statement
under personnel expenses in the same way as the contribu-
tions payable in the same period.
Provisions
Provisions are presented as non-current and current provisions
if Hapimag has a present obligation arising from a past event
and if it is probable that an outflow of economic benefits will
be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be
reliably estimated.
Own shares
There have not been treasury shares since 2013; as a result,
only depot shares are reported under “Own shares”. Depot
shares are shares which were bought back (see Sections E
and F). These shares are held with the purpose of reselling
them to Hapimag members. The funding portion (investment
requirement) is reported as own shares as a minus position
in equity. If the purchase price (repurchase price) exceeds the
funding portion of the share, the amount is reported as a
right of use.
The repurchase and resale of Hapimag shares are recognised
in profit or loss as explained in the notes on “Revenue recogni-
tion” (see Sections A, E and F).
Call option for the repurchase of Hapimag shares
Since the 2014 financial year, Hapimag has acquired from share-
holders a call option until 31 December of the tenth year.
This call option represents an equity instrument and is recog-
nised as a deduction in equity. Hapimag is entitled to exercise
its call option at any time at the agreed price per share. If the
call option is exercised, the shares received are reported
under “Own shares” and the agreed price per share is paid
out. Hapimag is not subject to any purchase obligation.
Estimates in the application of accounting principles
and future estimation uncertainties
The results for the period are significantly affected by the
accounting and measurement principles with regard to the
accounting of transactions connected with the purchase
and sale of Hapimag’s own shares and the sale of rights of
residence.
The resorts are subject to location risks that may affect their
attractiveness (natural disasters, political unrest, outbreak
of disease, etc.). This could result in impairment losses.

The disposals in the reporting year essentially relate to the resort Porto Heli (GR) due to the completed renovation and the Neuhof property, Baar.
In the previous year it essentially relates to the sale of the resort Bad Kleinkirchheim (AT).
Settlements of assets under construction and the redistribution of completed renovations on the two asset categories are taken into account under “Transfers”.

Until 28 February 2000, when a share was sold, part of the investment requirement (CHF 1100) was recognised as “Loans from shareholders”. The loan was non-redeemable,
non-interest-bearing and included in the General Terms of Membership. In the case of a repurchase of shares with loans, the loan originally recognised as a liability is transfer-
red to equity (capital reserves). This accounts for the continuous decrease of loans from shareholders from the perspective of the nominal currency (CHF).

The pension plan with a surplus refers to the pension plan of the Hapimag Pension Fund, Steinhausen. Pension plans without own assets encompass individual
foreign subsidiaries that recognise pension liabilities directly in the balance sheet.
19. Share capitalThe share capital is that of Hapimag AG, Steinhausen and amounts to TEUR 22 956, as in the previous year. The share capital consists of 59 300 registered shares with
a nominal value of CHF 100 each and 178 700 registered shares with a nominal value of CHF 200 each. Each share confers the right to cast one vote. The shares
are not traded on the stock exchange and there is no subscription right on capital increases. Shares sold until February 2000 are inalienably associated with
a loan. In accordance with article 28 of the Articles of Association, no dividends are paid.
20. Reserves (in EUR 1000) 2017 2018

The capital reserves are mainly the result of the sale of treasury shares. In the case of a repurchase of shares with loans, the loan originally recognised as a liability
is transferred to the capital reserves (see Note 15).

Closing balance – 17 765 – 17 979
Since the 2014 financial year, Hapimag has acquired from shareholders a call option until 31 December of the tenth year. Hapimag is entitled to exercise its call
option at any time at a price of CHF 200 per share. Hapimag is not subject to any purchase obligation. No call options were exercised in the current financial year
or the previous one.
Currency translation adjustments
Opening balance – 64 977 – 56 918
Change 8 059 – 10 220
Closing balance – 56 918 – 67 138
Currency translation adjustments are temporary differences as of the balance sheet date that arose, on the one hand, from the translation of the annual accounts
in a foreign currency into the presentation currency EUR and, on the other, due to the reporting date valuation of equity-like long-term Group loans. The negative
change in currency translation adjustments is largely attributable, in the current financial year, to the devaluation of the presentations currency, the euro, against
the Swiss franc.

41. Change in the scope of consolidationThere were no changes in the scope of consolidation in the reporting and previous year.
42. Financial risk managementPrinciples of risk management
The Board of Directors has ultimate responsibility for risk management. The Board of Directors has therefore appointed a committee with responsibility for establishing
and supervising the principles of risk management. The committee reports regularly to the Board of Directors. The established principles of risk management are aimed
at identifying and analysing the risks that the Group is exposed to, defining reasonable limits and establishing controls, and also at monitoring risks and ensuring that
the limits are adhered to. The principles of risk management, and the processes employed, are regularly reviewed in order to take into account changes in both market
conditions and the Group’s activities.
In the real estate area, Hapimag uses its own risk assessment system to identify, evaluate and control natural risks such as fire, water, storms and earthquakes.
With regard to its financial assets and liabilities, the Hapimag Group is exposed in particular to risks arising from changes in exchange rates and interest rates,
credit risk on receivables and liquidity risk. The following sections provide an overview of the extent of the individual risks.
Foreign currency risks
Hapimag has a certain exposure to foreign currency risks. The prices for right-of-residence products, annual subscription charges and travel services (invoiced from the
head office in Steinhausen) are booked in CHF. Invoices issued to the most important countries of origin of Hapimag members are also shown in the relevant local
currency because there is also the option to pay them in the local currency. Local charges as well as products and services delivered at the holiday location are assessed
in the local currency. Investments and operating expenses at the resorts are paid predominantly in local currency. For larger investments, foreign currency risks are
hedged in the form of forward exchange contracts. Forward exchange contracts and foreign currency options are used to hedge foreign currency risks arising from
billing (see Note 40).
Interest rate risk
The interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future payment flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate based on changes of the market interest rate. Cash
is invested in short-term instruments. Non-current loans from shareholders are interest-free. Hapimag also has current, medium-term and non-current bank loans
at its disposal at fixed and variable interest rates. In the case of the fixed interest-bearing financial liabilities (TEUR 51 829, previous year: TEUR 25 674) an interest rate
movement has no effect on the consolidated result, because there is no adjustment to the fair value.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that Hapimag will suffer financial losses if a customer fails to meet their contractual obligations. Trade receivables relate mainly to private persons
(Hapimag members), and are centrally and constantly monitored. The outstanding amounts are exposed to a certain credit risk that is accounted for by means of an
allowance based on experience (provisions). Hapimag members with overdue items over CHF 100 are unable to book an apartment (booking block in the system). The
accommodation that becomes available as a result can continue to be used by Hapimag. In addition, share repurchases or transfers are effected only if all open items
are settled beforehand. Hapimag places deposits only with first-class financial institutions. The maximum credit risk is reflected in the carrying amounts of the financial
assets recognised in the balance sheet.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that Hapimag will be unable to meet its financial obligations at maturity. Liquidity is managed and controlled by a central Treasury Department,
based on a short and medium-term income/expenditure plan, which takes into account in particular the ongoing building investments in the resorts. To ensure that
Hapimag is solvent at all times, and to preserve its financial flexibility, a liquidity reserve is maintained in the form of cash in hand and credit limits. As of the balance
sheet date of 31 December 2018 Hapimag has a credit limit in the amount of TEUR 77 436 (previous year: TEUR 67 875). Of this,TEUR 51 829 (previous year: TEUR
25 674) has been used.

of on-balance-sheet amounts). The main expense items are personnel
expenses and the purchase of insurance benefits. Expenses also
include a proportion of marketing expenses (such as information
publications for shareholders and members) as well as expenses
related to member care.
Central Services
Central Services include the following areas: Board of Directors,
Executive Board, finance, human resources, IT, legal service, com-
munication and marketing. Central Services receive proportionate
credit from the annual subscription charges. The most important
expenses are personnel expenses, administrative costs and depre-
ciation on office furniture and software/hardware.
Other explanations
Annual subscription charges are used primarily to cover depreciation
(financing of renovations), operating expenses for the running of the
resorts, the call centre, the central and local administrations, as
well as the consultation and services provided by the Service Points.
Accordingly, the annual subscription charges are divided among the
divisions of Property, Resorts, Member Services and Central Services.
Since the overwhelming proportion of the assets of the Hapimag
Group are invested in the tangible assets of the resorts, most of the
depreciation – with the exception of equipment and computer systems
at head office – is allocated to the Property division. There are no
significant transactions between the divisions.

Report of the Statutory Auditor on the Consolidated Financial Statements
As statutory auditor, we have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Hapimag AG, which comprise the balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement, statement of changes in equity and notes (pages 30 to 51 and page 54), for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Board of Directors’ ResponsibilityThe board of directors is responsible for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER and the requirements of Swiss law. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining an internal control system relevant to the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The board of directors is further responsible for selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditor’s ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the internal control system relevant to the entity’s preparation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control system. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
OpinionIn our opinion, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 give a true and fair view of the financial position, the results of operations and the cash flows in accordance with Swiss GAAP FER and comply with Swiss law.
REPORT OF THE STATUTORY AUDITOR TO THE GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF HAPIMAG AG, STEINHAUSEN

Income statement
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF HAPIMAG AG AS AT 31.12.2018
61
1.1 GeneralThe annual accounts have been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the Swiss Accounting Law (title 32 of the Swiss Code of
Obligations). The income statement is based on the total cost method.
1.2 Financial assetsCall options that Hapimag AG has acquired from shareholders up to 31 December of the tenth year are recognised under current financial
assets at no more than the cost of acquisition less any impairment losses. Hapimag AG is entitled to exercise its call option at any time at the
agreed price per share. Hapimag AG is not subject to any purchase obligation.
Non-current financial assets primarily comprise loans to investments. Loans granted in foreign currencies are measured at the current closing rate;
unrealised losses are recognised, whereas unrealised gains are not reported (imparity principle).
1.3 Property, plant and equipmentProperty, plant & equipment are measured at cost less depreciation and impairment losses. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated
on a straight-line basis. Land is not depreciated.
1.4 Intangible assetsIntangible assets chiefly comprise computer software and are recognised at cost less amortisation and impairment losses. Amortisation is
on a straight-line basis.
1.5 Loans from shareholdersUntil 28 February 2000, part of the investment requirement (CHF 1100) from the sale of shares was recognised as a liability in “Loans from share-
holders”. The loan was non-redeemable, non-interest-bearing and included in the General Terms of Membership. In the case of a repurchase of
shares with loans, the loan originally recognised as a liability is transferred to equity (capital reserves). This accounts for the continuous decrease
of loans from shareholders.
1.6 Own sharesRepurchased shares are recognised at the time of acquisition as own shares at the repurchase price and reported as a negative entry in equity.
These shares are held for resale to Hapimag members. Shares that are resold are reported in the income statement as revenue from the sale of
shares to the extent that the proceeds exceed the value recognised under “Own shares”.
1.7 Net proceeds from the sale of goods or servicesNet proceeds from the sale of goods and services are generally recognised at the time of invoicing. When repurchased shares are resold, the
amount by which the resale value exceeds the value recognised in the balance sheet is booked in the income statement. When other right-of-
residence products are sold, the sales proceeds, to the extent that they are required for the provision of accommodation (investment requirement),
are recognised as liabilities arising from the sale of rights of residence (current and non-current liabilities). The prepaid portion of operating costs
of the annual subscription charge, which is included in the sales prices for the entire contractual term, is booked under “Other liabilities” (current
and non-current liabilities). Sale proceeds exceeding that amount are booked in the income statement.
1.8 Income from exercised rights of residenceWhen the rights of residence (points) of other right-of-residence products are claimed, the liability arising from rights of residence (number of
points times the amount per point entered as a liability) is reduced and earnings in the same amount result.
1.9 Leasing transactionsLeasing and rental agreements are recognised according to legal ownership. As such, expenses are recognised in the period they are incurred,
but the leased or rented objects themselves are not recognised.

Valuation adjustments arise both from fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies and because of the results of Group companies. In measuring foreign currencies
at the closing rate, valuation adjustments for unrealised losses are recognised with due account taken of the principle of prudence (Art. 960 of the Code of Obligations)
and of the principle of impartiality (Art. 960a of the Code of Obligations), although any subsequent reversals of impairments arising from unrealised profits from an
impaired investment are not recognised.

Report of the Statutory Auditor on the Financial Statements
REPORT OF THE STATUTORY AUDITOR TO THE GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS OF HAPIMAG AG, STEINHAUSEN
As statutory auditor, we have audited the accompanying financial statements of Hapimag AG (pages 58 to 64), which comprise the balance sheet, income statement and notes for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Board of Directors’ ResponsibilityThe board of directors is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Swiss law and the company’s articles of incorporation. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining an internal control system relevant to the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The board of directors is further responsible for selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditor’s ResponsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the internal control system relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control system. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
OpinionIn our opinion, the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 comply with Swiss law and the company’s articles of incorporation.
Report on Other Legal Requirements
We confirm that we meet the legal requirements on licensing according to the Auditor Oversight Act (AOA) and independence (article 728 CO) and that there are no circumstances incompatible with our independence.
In accordance with article 728a paragraph 1 item 3 CO and Swiss Auditing Standard 890, we confirm that an internal control system exists, which has been designed for the preparation of financial statements according to the instructions of the board of directors.
We further confirm that the proposed appropriation of available earnings complies with Swiss law and the company’s articles of incorporation. We recommend that the financial statements submitted to you be approved.
