AUDITOR'S REPORT To the Shareholders of Marker International GmbH: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Marker International GmbH and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2000 and the related statement of loss and cash flows for the nine months period then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and the significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall consolidated financial statements presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. The financial statements of Marker International GmbH have been examined by another auditing firm, whose report have been provided to us. Our opinion expressed in this report, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for that company, is based also upon the audit of the other auditing firm. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of Marker International GmbH and subsidiaries as of March 31, 2000, and of the results of their operations and their cash flows for the nine months period then ended, in accordance with International Accounting Standards. Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to the fact that, as shown in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Group has incurred significant losses during its first business period and presents a deficit of Euro 4,433 thousand at March 31, 2000. Management's plans in regards to these matters are described in paragraph 1 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements, and their success depends on the financial support of the shareholders and the banks. At present bank negotiations are in process with the purpose of establishing the conditions of credit lines to be granted for the business period 2000/2001. Presently, the outcome of these negotiations has not yet been defined. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Group will continue as a going concern and do not include any evaluation should the agreement not be reached.

MARKER GROUP NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF MARCH 31ST, 2000 1 GROUP PROFILE MARKER International GmbH, located in Ruessenstrasse 6, in 6340 Baar, Canton Zug, Switzerland, was registered on July 5th, 1999 at the Company Registry of the Canton Zug. With effect of November 30th, 1999 , the ongoing companies listed below have been contributed in MARKER International GmbH by MARKER International Inc. located in Salt Lake City, USA: - MARKER Deutschland GmbH - MARKER USA Inc. - MARKER Canada Ltd. - MARKER JAPAN Co. Ltd. - MARKER Austria GmbH - MARKER Ltd, in its process of winding up Below is a chart of the Group's structure. [FLOWCHART] MARKER International GmbH owns 100% of the six MARKER subsidiaries listed above. H.D. Cleven, with 41,375 % share, is one of the two major shareholders of MARKER International GmbH and he also holds a major share of Volkl Group, which is a manufacturer engaged in the development, production and world-wide distribution of skis, snowboards, tennis ware and clothes. The second major shareholder of MARKER International GmbH, with a share of 41,375%, is Tecnica S.p.A by means of the holding Tesi II. Tecnica Group is engaged in the development, production and world-wide distribution of ski-boots, inline skates, and clothes. MKR Holdings Inc. is the new name of the former shareholder of MARKER operating companies world-wide, and holds 15% of MARKER International GmbH. The residual shares are owned by minority shareholders. 1
10-K405/A10th Page of 32TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 10th
Tecnica and Volkl both serve the same end-consumer and retail market as of MARKER Group does, thus creating commercial synergies for all these Groups. MARKER Group is engaged in the development, production and world-wide distribution of high quality ski bindings. The production plant is located in Germany, in leased facilities. With regards to major markets, USA, Canada, Japan and Austria, MARKER products are sold by its own trade companies. In other countries, the trading activity is entrusted to distributors. MARKER Canada Ltd. and MARKER Japan Co. Ltd. also distribute the product lines of Tecnica and Volkl. The full business year of MARKER lasts from April 1st to March 31st. The first business year of MARKER Group includes the operations of MARKER subsidiaries for the four months period from the date of their contribution - November, 30th 1999 - to March 31st, 2000. MAJOR RESTRUCTURING EVENTS OF THE FIRST FOUR MONTHS OF THE NEW MARKER GROUP Since January 2000, MARKER Canada Ltd. and MARKER Japan Co. Ltd, distribute the product lines of Tecnica and Volkl, in addition to MARKER ski-bindings; as a consequence they have increased their turnover and are allowed to benefit from the improved infrastructure. Besides that the market demand for sets of skis and bindings were met with a joint ski-skibinding-set of Volkl and MARKER. The production facility in Germany has been completely re-organised. The reorganisation led to decreased production times, labor cost and higher flexibility. FINANCIAL SITUATION Total net financial indebtedness of the Group amount to E41.617 thousand, of which E27.420 thousand are towards banks and other private financiers, and E14.197 thousand is towards the Parent Company and other related parties. The detail of financial debts is indicated in paragraph 16 and 17 of these notes. The current portion of the net financial indebtedness amounts to 23.124 thousand Euro. Interests accrue at annual rates from 2% to 6%. The financial situation described above is the result of the negotiations with banks and other financiers during the period before the contribution of MARKER operating companies to MARKER International GmbH, the purpose of which was to give financial support to the start up and the re-organization of the new MARKER Group. As an important result of these negotiations, the German banks, which were financing MARKER Germany GmbH, have forgiven debts for about E15,7 million. As described in note 8, the parent company loan of E12.744 thousand is a granted loan: according to the agreements with banks, the Group is not allowed to reimburse the parent company loan up to the complete reimbursement of the loans obtained by the banks. This 2
10-K405/A11th Page of 32TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 11th
parent company loan has the purpose to guarantee the banks and assure the necessary financial support to the Group, without requiring periodic reimbursements. The major banks of MARKER Deutschland GmbH are the Bayerische Hypo- und Vereinsbank AG and the Deutsche Bank AG. They have indicated their willingness to further finance MARKER Deutschland GmbH after the presentation of the year end report, the presentation of the budget approved by the shareholders for the business year 2001 and the registration of the MARKER trademarks at MARKER International GmbH. All assets inventory, receivables, fixed assets, trademarks and patents owned by MARKER Deutschland GmbH serve the German banks as securities. The credit lines of MARKER USA Inc. and MARKER Canada depend on their amount of receivables and inventory. MARKER Japan Co. Ltd., and MARKER Austria GmbH have no credit lines available. LITIGATION A major competitor called Atomic has sued MARKER for allegedly violating one of their patents for a rental skibinding in Austria and Switzerland. To the day of finalizing these notes, no final decision has been made by the courts. In all of the countries MARKER was allowed to present its Speed Point Demo Binding at trade shows. With reference to Atomic litigation, no provision for risks has been recorded in the consolidated financial statements, as no loss will reasonably arise from it according to the available elements and the legal consultant opinion. 2 SUMMARY OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Sales revenues are Mio 20,5E. Out of the gross profit of Mio 4,8E there results a margin of 23 %. Operating expenses are Mio 9E. Non operating expenses are Mio 1,4E. The loss before taxes of the first four months is Mio 5,6E. These results refer to a four-months period from December 1st , 1999 to March 31st, 2000. RESTRUCTURING PROGRAM OF BUSINESS YEAR TO 2000/2001 MARKER Deutschland GmbH has established a restructuring program to improve productivity and reduce scrap and absenteeism rate in the production. In addition the cost cutting program for all departments has continued. For the distribution companies, cost saving programs have been established and the distribution of additional program lines, especially for Tecnica and Volkl, is in progress. For all the MARKER Group companies, the controlling function has been substantially improved. 3

3 FORM AND CONTENT OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS As described in paragraph 1), MARKER Group has been incorporated during the fiscal year 1999-2000, by means of the contribution to MARKER International GmbH of all investments held by an American holding company, located in Salt Lake City. The consolidated financial statements as of March 31st, 2000 are the first financial statements prepared by the Group, and include: - as far as the consolidated balance sheet is concerned, the assets and liabilities of the parent company MARKER International GmbH and of all its subsidiaries, which are either directly or indirectly controlled by the parent company. - with regards to the consolidated income statement, the income statement of the parent company for the nine-months period from the incorporation in July 1999 to March 31st, 2000, and the income statements of its operating subsidiaries for the four-months period from the date of the contribution - December 1st, 1999 - to March 31st 2000. Because the business year 1999/2000 is the first business period of the new MARKER Group, the consolidated financial statements do not show any comparable figures. The financial statements utilized for the consolidation consist of the financial statements prepared for the approval of the relevant shareholders' meetings. Such financial statements were re-classified in order for their format to better comply with the criteria adopted by the parent company. Where necessary, these financial statements were amended to conform with the accounting principles issued by the International Accounting Standards Committee (I.A.S.C.) as adopted by the Group. Swiss requirements referring to the consolidated financial statements have also been complied with. All the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements and in the relative notes are in thousands of Euro. 4 PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION AND FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION METHOD The most significant principles of consolidation adopted in the financial statements are the following: (a) Global integration of the financial statements of the consolidated companies and elimination of the carrying values of investments of the parent company against the net equity at the date of the contribution. Any excess of the cost of the acquisition over the purchaser's interest at fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities acquired as at the date of the transaction, is stated as a consolidation difference in the item Goodwill under Intangible Assets and is amortized over the expected useful life. If a negative difference arises, it is stated as a consolidated provision for future risks and expenses under Other Long-Term Liabilities, where reflecting expected future losses. Otherwise it is classified as a reserve under the item Net Equity. (b) In-full elimination of intragroup receivables and payables, income and expenses and all other relevant intragroup transactions, including Group dividends, write-downs, and 4
10-K405/A13th Page of 32TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 13th
revaluation of consolidated investments, unrealised profits and losses, resulting from intragroup transactions, are also offset. (c) At the balance sheet date, monetary assets and liabilities stated in foreign currencies are converted into Euro at year-end rate. Net Equity is converted at historical-exchange rate. Income statements are converted at average-exchange rate. Exchange differences arising from the conversion of foreign currency financial statements are charged to Net Equity under the item Exchange Rate Differences". Exchange rate used for the translation of items stated in currency other than Euro 1 Euro = Unit of Local Currency [Download Table] AVERAGE IN THE CURRENCY PERIOD MARCH 31, 2000 ------------------ -------------- -------------- Swiss Franc 1,599232 1,592103 German Mark 1,955837 1,955837 Austrian Schilling 13,76046 13,76046 US Dollar 0,962177 0,957304 Canadian Dollar 1,399384 1,39334 Japanese Yen 103,48 100,5996 5 ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting principles issued by the International Accounting Standards Committee (I.A.S.C.). The most significant are the following: a) Receivables -- Receivables are shown at their estimated realizable value. b) Inventories -- Inventories are valued at the lower of purchase or production cost, determined on the basis of the average weighted cost, and market or realizable value. Manufacturing cost includes raw materials, and all related direct and indirect costs. The estimated realizable value is calculated considering both manufacturing costs still to be incurred, and direct sales costs. Obsolete or slow moving inventories are written off depending on their possible utilization or sale. 5
10-K405/A14th Page of 32TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 14th
c) Tangible fixed assets -- Tangible fixed assets are stated at purchase or factory cost, possibly increased by applying specific revaluation laws. The cost includes direct and indirect costs which can be reasonably attributed to the asset. Accumulated depreciation is charged on the basis of the estimated useful economic lives of the assets by using the following rates: [Download Table] Buildings 10% Plants and Equipment 33% Industrial and Commercial Equipment 33% Vehicles 20% Furniture, fixtures and fittings 25% Office Equipment 33% In the case of a permanent loss in value, the assets are written down appropriately. If, during the following years, the conditions leading to the write-down no longer exist, the original value is restored appropriately amortised. Ordinary maintenance costs are charged in full to the profit and loss account. Maintenance costs that improve an asset are added to its value and depreciated over its residual useful life. d) Intangible fixed assets -- These are shown at purchase or production cost, inclusive of ancillary expenses and are amortised on a straight-line basis over the period they are expected to benefit. The amortisation periods are as follows: [Download Table] Trademarks 10 years Patents 5 years Setting up and development 3 years Goodwill 5 years In the case of a permanent loss in value, the intangible fixed assets are written down appropriately. In subsequent years, if the conditions leading to the write down no longer exist, the original value is restored appropriately amortized. e) Securities held as fixed assets are valued at cost, which is written down in case of durable losses. In subsequent years, if the conditions leading to the write down no longer exist, the original value is restored. f) Payables -- Like other liabilities, payables are reported at their nominal value. g) Reserves for risks and charges -- Reserves for risks and charges (included under Other Payables and Other Long Term Liabilities) are provided to cover certain or probable losses or liabilities that could not be specifically quantified or scheduled at the year-end. Provisions reflect the best possible estimate ,based on the information available. h) Foreign currency transactions -- Receivables and payables originally denominated in foreign currencies are translated into Euro using the historical exchange rates ruling at the transaction dates. Exchange differences realised on the collection of receivables and 6
10-K405/A15th Page of 32TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 15th
the settlement of payables are booked to the income statement. At the year-end, receivables and payables originally denominated in foreign currencies, are translated into Euro at the year-end exchange rates. The exchange differences arising from the transaction are booked in the income statement. i) Pre-payments and accruals -- Pre-payments and accruals refer to revenues and costs relating to two or more financial years in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting. j) Revenue and cost recognition -- Revenue from the sale of goods is recognised on transfer of property, which generally coincides with shipment. Cost and revenues are recognised in the financial statements according to the accruals and prudence concepts. k) Taxes -- These are recorded on the basis of estimated taxable income, calculated in accordance with current regulations, taking into account any tax credits due. Provisions are also made to a specific reserve for deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from timing differences between the results reported in the financial statements and the corresponding amounts recognized for fiscal purposes, as well as from consolidation adjustments (elimination of adjustments recorded solely for tax purposes and of unrealised intercompany profit) and from the deferred taxation of capital gains on the disposal of fixed assets and business divisions and of capital grants. Deferred tax assets are recorded only if it is reasonably certain that they will be recovered and, therefore, prepaid taxes are only recognised if it is probable that they will be absorbed by sufficient future taxable income or, otherwise, that they will be eliminated in years in which timing differences giving rise to an equivalent value of deferred tax liabilities reserve. 6 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS At the date of the financial statements the item was composed as follows: [Download Table] Cash on hand 13 Bank Accounts in Local Currency 5.466 Bank Accounts in Foreign Currency 116 ------- TOTAL 5.595 ======= 7 TRADE RECEIVABLES At March 31, 2000, the item amounted to E18.268 thousands. The amount is net of a provision for bad and doubtful debts of E1.353 thousand. The high amount of trade receivables at the date of the financial statements (about 90% of total sales of the period) is principally due to the seasonality of sales, which are concentrated in autumn and winter. Normally sales of products for wintertime are totally cashed in June and July; sales of products for summertime are cashed in September or October. In general the collection times are long in MARKER market. 7
10-K405/A16th Page of 32TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 16th

33 COMMITMENTS The Group is committed with the following lease payments under operating leasing or under other rental contracts (thousand of Euro): [Download Table] 2000/2001 1.625 2001/2002 1.301 2002/2003 1.105 2003/2004 914 2004/2005 878 ------- 5.823 ======= The most significant yearly installment refer to the production building in Eschenlohe, which amounts to E878 thousand. 34 RECONCILIATION TO US GAAP The basis of the preparation of these consolidated financial statements is set out in Note 3 through Note 5. These accounting policies vary in certain important respects from the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("US GAAP"). The material differences affecting the profit and loss account and shareholders' equity between generally accepted accounting principles followed by the Group and those generally accepted in the United States are summarized below. The Group granted an equity compensation plan to one manager, as stated in the employment agreement between the parent company Marker International GmbH and the manager. According to this agreement, the manager has received during the period a minority interest in the parent company and, under some established conditions, he will receive additional portions of Marker International share capital at the end of each business period and within the date of termination of the employment agreement. In case the manager decides to terminate the agreement before its expiring date, Marker International GmbH shall pay to him a fixed amount for buying back the shares, or, alternatively, can accept that the manager maintains the equity for future fair market value. Based on the employment agreement, in case CT Holding (which is Marker International GmbH parent company) shall complete the acquisition of the 15% interest actually owned by the former holding (Note 1), a further 5% of Marker International share capital will be made available to the manager at a price equal to the fair value, as determined in the transaction. IAS do not require the recognition of the fair value of equity compensation plans in the financial statements. According to US GAAP the equity shares under these plans would be valued at their fair value and would be accounted for as an expense of the period in which they have been recognized to the employee. No effect would derive to the consolidated shareholders' equity, as the fair value of the shares would correspondingly increase the retained earnings. 19
10-K405/A28th Page of 32TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 28th
During the period the manager has received 2% of Marker International share capital. These shares have been transferred to the manager in connection with the closing of the Assets Purchase Agreement, under which the contribution of Marker operating subsidiaries to Marker International GmbH was realized (Note 3), and represent the compensation to the manager for continuing employment with Marker. The fair value of these shares is determined in about Euro 369 thousand, based on the value attributed to the assets transferred to Marker International GmbH in the above-referred transaction. According to the employment agreement, Marker International GmbH shall pay to the manager about Euro 313 thousand in case he leaves the Company after March 31, 2000, i.e. before the termination of the agreement. There is no income tax effect on the fair value of the granted shares.
