Operational and Financial Review 
 
 
The reporting period include full 6 month contributions from Nordsee GmbH 
("Nordsee"), Homann Chilled Food GmbH ("Homann"), Hamker Lebensmittel 
Beteiligungs GmbH & Co. KG ("Hamker") and Bastian's GmbH ("Bastian's"). 
 
 
The Company's revenues for the six months ended 30 June 2009 were EUR363.0 million 
(2008: EUR374.0 million), while EBITDA before exceptional items amounted to EUR18.5 
million (2008: EUR15.5 million). Both reported sales and EBITDA are in line with 
the Board's expectations and have remained so for the period since 30 June 2009. 
The equity to total asset ratio at the end of the period was 23.0%. IFR Capital 
currently has EUR162 million of interest bearing debt and EUR114 million of 
preferred equity in issue (including accrued interest). 
 
 
The Nordsee division in Germany and Austria generated an EBITDA of EUR4.9 million. 
Sales increased by 0.8% on a like for like basis. The Directors believe that 
Nordsee is well positioned and growing faster than the wider German gastronomy 
market. Nordsee is expanding its international business to the Middle East and 
to Southern and Eastern Europe with further openings planned in Bratislava, 
Palma de Mallorca, Bucharest, Istanbul, Riga, Sofia and Athens. It is the 
intention to enter the Scandinavian and Polish markets in the near term. 
 
 
The Homann / Hamker division generated EUR211 million of sales for the period and 
almost doubled its EBITDA from EUR 6.8 million to EUR 13.4 million. An overall 
decline in net sales of EUR 5.5 million (of which EUR 3.9 million can be attributed 
to a reclassification of listing fees) was deliberately enforced in the private 
label and hard discount channel as Homann renegotiated its sales prices 
favouring increased margins over volume. Supported by decreased raw material 
costs, these measures resulted in a significant improvement in gross profit 
margins throughout all sales channels. The integration projects lead to savings 
in direct costs, especially variable labour resulting from the closure of the 
Lintorf salad factory (Hamker). Compared to previous year efficiency 
improvements stabilised the co-packing production for Kraft and Unilever. 
Overhead cost decreased from the integration of the sales force and several 
administrative functions. 
 
 
Bastian's, the premium bakery concept, continued to generate strong growth of 
13% on like for like sales. The new store in Cologne has proven a success and 
further locations are being investigated for future development and growth. 
 
 
The High Court proceedings between IFR Capital and ACP Capital plc ("ACP") 
relating to the claim by ACP for an increase of the margin on a part of the 
Company's debt are currently stayed. IFR Capital has in the meantime started 
legal proceedings in the Royal Court of Jersey against ACP for breach of 
contractual and fiduciary obligations. IFR Capital is seeking damages in the 
amount of at least EUR 28.4 million as of the end of May 2009, continuing to 
accrue at a rate of approximately EUR 50,000 per day. 
 
 
Share Exchange 
 
 
As announced on 18 March 2009, with effect of 17 March 2009, Theo Müller, the 
sole holder of the Class B Preference Shares and a substantial shareholder in 
IFR Capital, has restructured his investments in the IFR group and converted a 
part of his Class B Preference Shares in IFR Jersey Limited into 200,000,000 new 
ordinary shares in IFR Capital and Heiner Kamps, CEO of the Company, has 
increased his shareholding in the Company significantly. As a result of this 
transaction, the preference share capital held by shareholders outside the group 
has been reduced considerably. As explained at the time of the share exchange 
the Directors believe that the share exchange is in the best interests of IFR 
Capital and its shareholders and has reduced the financial burden from the 
preferential dividend without any cash outflow. 
 
 
However, the Company strongly believes that the capital structure needs to be 
further improved. Given the terms of the preferred equity, it is essential that 
the preferred equity is wholly refinanced, either by way of redemption or 
conversion into ordinary equity on acceptable terms to the Board. Theo Müller, 
one of the owners of the preferred equity, is still strongly supportive of 
further converting the preferred equity into ordinary equity. However, ACP, the 
other external owner of the preferred equity, does not wish to convert its 
preferred equity into ordinary equity but rather wants to sell its whole 
investment in IFR Capital. Given the shareholder structure of the Company, only 
investors in line with the intentions of Heiner Kamps and Theo Müller are 
willing to purchase the investment of ACP in IFR Capital. Whilst in the 
Directors' opinion, ACP has received a fair cash offer for its investment in IFR 
Capital no agreement to date has been reached.
