12 1. GENERAL On October 29, 2012, the Management Board authorized the issuance of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements (the Interim Financial Statements or Financials ) of the Group for the quarter and the six months ended September 30, 2012 to the Supervisory Board. 10 Selected Explanatory Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

13 2. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES 2.1 BASIS OF PREPARATION In accordance with Section 37y of the German Securities Trading Act (Wertpapierhandelsgesetz "WpHG") in conjunction with Section 37w para. 2 WpHG, the semi-annual financial report of Kabel Deutschland Holding AG ("KDH AG" or the "Company", and together with its consolidated subsidiaries "KDH" or the "Group") includes the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and an interim consolidated management report, together with a responsibility statement pursuant to Section 297 para. 2 sentence 4 and Section 315 para. 1 sentence 6 of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch "HGB"). KDH AG s semi-annual financial report was not audited in line with Section 317 HGB nor was it subject to limited review with issuance of a review opinion. 2.2 SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Accounting Standards first adopted by the Company The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the interim financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended March 31, The Company is applying the amendments to IFRS 7 Transfer of Financial Assets: Disclosures published in October 2010 beginning with the fiscal year from April 1, 2012 for the first time. Accounting Standards still not adopted by the Company The following amendments have been issued by the IASB and endorsed by the EU but are not effective for these financial statements: In June 2011, amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements were issued and become effective for fiscal years beginning on or after The interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the quarter and the six months ended September 30, 2012 have been prepared in accordance with the International Accounting Standard ( IAS ) 34 Interim Financial Reporting and should be read in conjunction with the Group s annual financial statements as of March 31, 2012, which can be found on the Group s website ( The interim condensed consolidated financial statements and the interim consolidated management report have been prepared and are presented in euros ( ), which is the functional currency of the Company and each of its consolidated subsidiaries. All values are rounded to the nearest thousand ( T ) unless indicated otherwise. Totals in tables were calculated using precise figures and rounded to T. July 1, The application of the revised regulations requires the adjustment of the prior year s figures. These amendments improve and align the presentation of items of other comprehensive income ( OCI ) of the Statement of Comprehensive Income in financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRSs. These amendments require companies to group items within OCI according to whether they can be reclassified in the profit or loss section of the statement of income or remain in equity. The amendments also reaffirm existing requirements to present items in OCI and Statement of Comprehensive Income as either a single statement or two consecutive statements. Requiring OCI to be presented as part of the statement of income or as a subsequent statement will make it easier for investors or users of financial statements to evaluate the impact of OCI items on the performance of an entity. The Group is currently assessing the impacts on its consolidated financial statements. In June 2011, amendments to IAS 19 Employee Benefits were issued and become effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, The application of the revised regulations requires the adjustment of the prior year s figures. These amendments improve accounting for pensions and other post-employment benefits in three ways. First, they improve comparability and faithfulness of presentation by eliminating the option of deferring the recognition of gains and losses, which is known as the corridor Selected Explanatory Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 11

14 2 Basis of Preparation and Accounting Policies method. Second, they streamline the presentation of changes in assets and liabilities resulting from defined benefit plans, including requiring remeasurements to be presented in OCI, thereby separating those changes from changes that may be perceived to be the result of an entity s day-to-day operations. Third, the amendments also enhance the disclosure requirements for defined benefit plans, providing more accurate information on defined benefit plans and the exposure which entities taking part in those plans may encounter. The amendments will give users of financial statements a clearer picture of an entity s obligations resulting from the provision of defined benefit plans. The Group expects impacts related to the accounting treatment of actuarial losses and thus an increase in the provision for pensions due to the amendments through the elimination of the corridor method, which KDH had previously applied. The quantitative effects are still being examined in detail; at present, the Group assumes that the current operating result for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2013 would be approximately 0.1 million higher given the elimination of amortization of actuarial losses. The actuarial losses of approximately 6.6 million that have accumulated up to March 31, 2012 and have not been amortized will be retroactively offset against equity with effect from March 31, The following amendments have been issued by the IASB and are neither endorsed by the EU nor are they effective for these interim financial statements: In May 2012, the IASB issued Annual Improvements Cycle. The amendments affect five standards and are effective for financial years beginning on or after January 1, The Group is currently assessing the impacts of the adoption on the Group s consolidated financial statements. In June 2012, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements and IFRS 12 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities. The amendments include clarifications for the transitional provisions and transition relief for IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12. Adjusted comparative information is only required for the prior comparative period. The date of initial application is the same as the date of initial application of IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12. The IASB issued a number of other pronouncements that have no material effect on KDH s consolidated financial statements. Changes in Accounting Estimates The Group regularly reviews whether the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets for depreciation or amortization purposes can be retained. During the quarter ended September 30, 2011, the expected useful lives of cable networks, the acquired customer lists in the segment Internet and Phone, the capitalized subscriber acquisition costs in the segments TV Business (Premium-TV) and Internet and Phone as well as smartcards were reassessed based on new facts and circumstances arising in the past years. This reassessment of the useful lives led to prospective changed depreciation. The changes in useful life became effective as of August 1, For more detailed explanations please refer to section 3.4. Share Acquisitions For information on share acquisitions up to and including fiscal year 2012, please see the detailed information in respective section 1.3 of the notes to the Group s consolidated financial statements for the respective fiscal years up to and including as of March 31, On May 21, 2012 KDH AG entered into a purchase agreement with Tele Columbus GmbH ( Tele Columbus ) to acquire the Tele Columbus Group. The purchase price amounts to 603 million plus accrued interest. By the end of 2011, Tele Columbus, headquartered in Berlin, provided basic cable services to approximately 1.7 million customers in 2.1 million homes connected and is Germany's largest Level 4 cable network operator. Tele Columbus operates predominantly in Berlin and in Eastern Germany including the cities of Dresden, Magdeburg and Potsdam. The business of Tele Columbus overlaps to a large extent with KDH s current service area. In the fiscal year 2011 Tele Columbus reported revenues of 218 million and an operating result (EBITDA) of 81 million. Following a successful completion of the acquisition, most of Tele Columbus customers will be able for the first time to subscribe to KDH s high-speed Internet products and new TV services. The merger was filed with the German Federal Cartel Office ( FCO ; Bundeskartellamt) on August 31, 2012, but is subject to approval by the FCO. The FCO is expected to announce its decision in January SEGMENT REPORTING For the purpose of segment reporting, the Group s activities are split into operating segments in accordance with IFRS 8. The Group has two operating segments, TV Business as well as Internet and Phone, which are reported and managed separately. The headquarter function and financing activities are represented through a reconciliation. These operating segments are defined based on the internal organizational structure of the Group and the economic characteristics of the business areas. The business activities of KDH AG and its subsidiaries focus on the operation of cable television networks in Germany. Risks and rewards do not differ within the German cable network business. Therefore, a geographical segmentation is not suitable for the Group. Accordingly, the focus of review of the key decision makers is based on a product and service differentiation, which is reflected in the segment reporting. The measurement principles used by the Group in preparing this segment reporting are the same as for the consolidated financial statements and are based on IFRS as adopted by the EU. These measurement principles are also the basis for the segment performance assessment (see section 2 Business Segments of the Group Management Report for the quarter and the six months ended September 30, 2012). There are no significant relationships between the individual segments, and therefore no intersegment relationships need to be eliminated. Any intrasegment transactions have been eliminated. 12 Selected Explanatory Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION 3.1 CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS in T Sept. 30, 2012 March 31, 2012 Cash at banks 661, ,757 Cash on hand Cash and cash equivalents 661, ,784 The increase in cash at banks is primarily due to the issuance on the 2017 Senior Notes and the increase in the 2018 Senior Secured Notes in the six months ended September 30, Cash at banks in the amount of T 400,000 is held in fixed term deposits. Cash at banks was pledged under the Senior Credit Facility Agreement and corresponding amendments (see section 3.5) as security in favor of the relevant lending banks and was T 517,394 and T 132,099, as of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively. As of September 30, 2012, the pledged bank accounts reflect all the bank accounts of Kabel Deutschland Vertrieb und Service GmbH ( KDVS GmbH ) and exclude the other Group entities. 3.2 TRADE RECEIVABLES in T Sept. 30, 2012 March 31, 2012 Gross trade receivables 105, ,111 Bad debt allowance (25,865) (25,303) Trade receivables 79,893 88,808 Trade receivables of KDVS GmbH with a carrying amount of T 77,052 and T 86,361 as of September 30, 2012 and March 31, 2012, respectively, were assigned in accordance with the Senior Credit Facility Agreement and corresponding amendments (see section 3.5) as security in favor of the relevant lending banks. 3.3 INVENTORIES in T Sept. 30, 2012 March 31, 2012 Raw materials, consumables and supplies 4,138 4,554 Finished goods and merchandise 48,566 26,942 Thereof carried at net realizable value Inventories 52,704 31,496 Selected Explanatory Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 13

16 3 Notes to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position Depending upon intended use, Customer Premise Equipment ( CPE ), included above in merchandise, is recognized as capital expenditures or operational expenditures at the time the item is put into service. The Group capitalizes the CPE as fixed assets when it is leased to the customer. The Group expenses CPE when it is purchased by the customer. Costs for maintenance and substitution of CPE are also expensed. The total amount of inventories recognized as an expense was T 3,415 and T 3,260 for the quarters ended September 30, 2012 and September 30, 2011, respectively. The total amount of inventories recognized as an expense was T 7,189 in the six months ended September 30, 2012 compared to T 6,220 in the six months ended September 30, INTANGIBLE ASSETS / PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT The estimated useful life of the customer list is based primarily on the average contract life of individual users who generate significant contribution margins, taking into account the average subscriber churn rate. Initially, because of a lack of historical data, the expected useful life of the Internet and Phone customer list was aligned with the useful life of 8.5 years of the Group s already existing customer list in the TV Business segment. Due to the experience gained over the past years regarding the average expected customer relationship period, the Group revised the estimated useful life of the Internet and Phone Business customer list from 8.5 years to 6.5 years, effective August 1, As a result, the amortization of the useful life of the customer list existing in the Internet and Phone segment at the time of the change increased by T 315 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and by T 1,258 for the six months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the respective previous year periods. The effect for the six months ended September 30, 2012 reflects the total expected increase in depreciation and amortization for the fiscal year ending March 31, Since the useful life of the original customer list related to the acquisition of the Group in March 2003 expired in September 2011, the comparable period for the previous year still includes regular amortization of T 15,517 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and T 35,496 for the six months ended September 30, The Group capitalizes directly attributable sales commissions to customer contracts related to its sales agents and the cost of external call center representatives if the contracts generate future contractual revenue streams. Capitalized subscriber acquisition costs are amortized over the expected customer relationship period. In the TV Business (Premium-TV) as well as Internet and Phone Business, empirical data was collected in the past years so that by now reliable past evidence exists. Thus, beginning in August 2011, the estimated useful life of subscriber acquisition costs in the Internet and Phone Business was increased from 12 or 24 months, respectively, corresponding to the fixed minimum contract duration, to 6.5 years, which reflects the expected customer relationship period. In Premium-TV, the useful life of subscriber acquisition costs was increased from 12 or 24 months, respectively, corresponding to the fixed minimum contract duration, to 8.5 years, which also reflects the expected customer relationship period for all Basic Cable contracts. The change in useful life reduced the amortization of capitalized subscriber acquisition costs that existed at the time of the change by T 2,053 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, and by T 8,211 for the six months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the respective previous year periods. The effect for the six months ended September 30, 2012 reflects the total expected decrease in depreciation and amortization for the fiscal year ending March 31, A review of the technical usability of the Level 3 networks provided that through technological progress particularly in data transfer methods and through the actual implementation of new technologies in the Group s network, the cable networks will be unchanged and technically fully operational also in the mid- and long-term. To reflect these facts and circumstances, the expected useful lives were increased from 20 to 30 years in August The change in useful life reduced the depreciation of capitalized cable networks that existed at the time of the change by T 6,153 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, and by T 24,611 for the six months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the respective previous year periods. The effect for the six months ended September 30, 2012 reflects the total expected decrease in depreciation and amortization for the fiscal year ending March 31, The technical progress leading to high definition ( HD ) technology and the associated rapid technical changes result in shorter innovation and product life cycles for smartcards. Consequently, the estimated useful life has been decreased from 5 to 3 years. The change in useful life is effective from August At the time of transition, the immediate depreciation of smart cards, which were already older than 3 years at the time of the change in useful life in August 2011, results in a one-time additional depreciation expense of T 1,785. This one-time effect in the prior period caused a decrease in depreciation of T 1,559 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 and T 879 for the six months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the respective previous year periods. Excluding this one-time effect, an increase of depreciation expenses results due to the change in useful life by T 226 for the quarter ended September 31, 2013 and T 906 for the six months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the respective previous year periods. The effect for the six months ended September 30, 2012 reflects the total expected increase in depreciation and amortization for the fiscal year ending March 31, For further information concerning additions and disposals of intangible and tangible assets, reference is made to the analysis of fixed assets in Appendix 1 and Appendix 2 of the selected explanatory notes. 14 Selected Explanatory Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
