Letter to the Shareholders
Dear Shareholders, There are many reasons to invest in a company. Some investors look for returns with healthy prospects or companies that embrace responsibility for people and the environment. But finally they all look for companies that are valuable, that create value and stand for values. At Tuff Group, we are committed to our business and strive for continuous growth. But at the same time, our group takes an active role in sustainability promotion and environmentally responsible business operations. We promote integrity, live by the highest ethical standards and follow stringent environmental practices. Let me shortly explain what our Group stands for and how we operate: Tuff Group is a forward-thinking organization and operates as a holding company through distinct business lines within the fields of oil & gas, infrastructure, energy & power generation, power engineering, fabrication and contracting. Our regional focus lies on Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Tuff Group is active as an end to end solution provider for engineering, procurement, construction, fabrication, integration, installation, commissioning & operations (EPCC) of marine, hull/naval and topsides for floaters and fixed installations for the global oil & gas industry. We develop and implement innovative solutions to the world’s most complex challenges. The offered solutions include in particular FPSO (Floating Production Storage & Offloading Unit) /FSO (Floating Storage & Offloading unit) /MOPU (Mobile Offshore Production Unit) / FSU (Floating Storage Unit) / FSRU (Floating Storage & Regasification Unit) / Refineries / Platform and Onshore Plants. In 2018, our oil & gas division of our subsidiary Tuff Offshore, which is well-known as an engineering and main contractor within the oil and gas services sector, has been awarded the FEED (Front End Engineering Design) contract for a FSO project. If the consortium wins the bid Tuff will have the first right of refusal for EPCC of these two FSO’s. Tuff is also in advanced disucssion to aquire two existing FPSO with contracts. In the infrastructure area, Tuff is active as an EPC company (engineering, procurement, construction) and general contractor for large public-private partnership projects, such as roads/highways/bridges infrastructure, airports, housing as well as supply installations for utilities. Currently, Tuff Offshore focuses on developing projects in South East Asia and Asia Pacific, where we control the entire project. Recently, we carried out work and services for buildings at the Maafaru Airport in the Maldives In the energy & power generation area Tuff Group offers engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of power generation plants in both the conventional and the renewable energies sector and WTE (Waste to Energy) Projects. In 2018, our energy and power generation division has bid for the engineering and construction of a Waste-to-Energy project in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. For this project, our subsidiary Tuff Offshore has tied up with technology providers with decades of experience in this field.
Allow me also to briefly introduce myself. My name is Natarajan Paulraj, however, most people just call me Paul. I am a Mechanical Engineer born in India and started my career as a marine engineer. As marine engineer I spent ten years working on-board crude oil tankers of various sizes, including VLCCs for Scindia Steam Navigation Limited and Essar Shipping Limited. After this I started working for Modec International in the field of FPSO conversion and on various international FPSO, FSO and FDPSO projects for Saipem and BW Offshore. In 2008 I joined Bumi Armada, a large Malaysia-based international provider of offshore production and support services with a presence in over 17 countries, as a Project Manager / Senior Vice President where I have been involved in the conversion of all their FPSOs since the Armada Perdana, an FSPO nearly 300 meters in length. And finally, since September 2018, I am member of the management board of Tuff Group AG and also the company’s major shareholder. On a Group level we are profitable and achieved a profit after tax of nearly 5m euro in the first six months of calendar 2018. Therefore please note that the financial figures of Tuff Group AG as of 31 December 2018 in this annual report do not reflect the current economic situation of the Group company. End of 2018 Tuff Group AG, incorporated in 2005, still was a shell company being prepared for acting as the Group Holding in the future. Therefore the financial statements just show 50,000 euro in total assets. Because the shell company had no operational business in calendar year 2018 the profit and loss statement mostly includes the costs that occured in connection with the listing activities, especially expenses for consulting services such as legal advice and banking fees. One of our major recent milestones and at the same time the reason why I am writing this letter to you, has certainly been the successful listing at the Frankfurt Stock Exchange in Germany. As part of this, our company, Tuff Group AG, now has 40,000,000 bearer shares with no-par value. The listing is based on the Prospectus from 27 February 2019 which is published on our corporate website at www.tuffgroup.com in the investor’s section. On 26 March 2019, our shares started trading in the General Standard Segment (Regulated Market) with a share price of 4.50 euro which resulted in a market capitalization of Tuff Group AG of 180m euro. Meanwhile, the Tuff Group AG acts as a holding and service company, especially in the procurement of financing and equity for the operating divisions. The Group intends to expand its business in the future. To facilitate this expansion, the management opted for the listing to gain direct access to the European capital markets, and thus benefit from additional sources for financing of the future growth of our business. I am more than delighted to be addressing you now here in Europe, respectively Germany. Our company's journey has been a continuous story of growth. And through dedication, commitment and relentless willingness to perform, our story will continue this way. Therefore, I am looking forward to informing you regularly about our dynamic achievements, created opportunities, sustainable and revenue-generating solutions, goals and strategy. Sincerly Natarajan Paulraj Executive Chairman

is 31 December 2018.
2 Compliance with IFRS
The Company's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as published by the International Accounting Standards
Board (IASB) and applicable in the European Union (EU). The requirements of all standards
and interpretations adopted by the EU and required to be applied as of the balance sheet date
were fulfilled without exception.
Standards and interpretations adopted as of December 31, 2018 but not yet mandatory in
the reporting period were not applied prematurely on a voluntary basis in the fiscal year 2018.
With regard to these new, but not yet mandatory standards, reference is made to the section
“ New and amended standards and interpretations ”.
3 Accounting and valuation methods
3.1 Expenses
Expenses will be recorded appropriate to the period.
3.2 Classification in short-term and long-term
The Company breaks down its assets and liabilities in the balance sheet into current and non-
current assets or liabilities.
An asset is classified as current if it is a cash or cash equivalent unless the exchange or use of
the asset to settle the obligation is restricted for a period of at least twelve months after the
reporting period.

All other assets are classified as long-term.
A liability is classified as current if it is expected that the liability will be settled within twelve
months of the balance sheet date or if the entity has no unrestricted right to defer settlement
for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
All other debts are classified as long-term.
3.3 Financial instruments - financial liabilities
The financial liabilities of the Company include other liabilities and trade payables.

extinguished.

Cash and cash equivalents have short maturities. Therefore, their carrying amounts at the
balance sheet date approximately correspond to the fair value.
Other liabilities and trade payables have short residual terms; the values shown approximate
the fair value.
The net results for the individual categories of financial instruments in accordance with IAS 39
in the fiscal year amount to EUR 0 (prior year: EUR 0) and to the valuation category loans and
receivables (lar), as well as for financial liabilities measured at amortized cost (flac) EUR 0 (prior
year: EUR 0).
The fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities is the amount at which the
instrument concerned could be exchanged between willing parties at an arm`s length (except
for forced sale or liquidation).
The methods and assumptions used to determine the fair values are as follows:
Cash and short-term deposits as well as other liabilities and trade payables are very close to
their book value, mainly due to the short maturities of these instruments.
