Business activities
Drägerwerk AG, Lübeck, as a holding company, directly orindirectly holds the shares in the parent companies of thesubgroups Dräger Medical (65 percent) and Dräger Safety(100 percent). With the focus being placed on the corebusiness of these two subgroups in prior years, theCompany now only has a few other small shareholdings.
Drägerwerk AG has functions which serve to fulfill thecore tasks of the Company as well as provide services tothe subgroups and their subsidiaries. These functionsinclude the legal, tax and insurance departments, the treasury, public relations, investor relations, the financialcontrol and accounting departments for the Company and
the Group, HR, the internal audit and basic researchdepartments and real estate management via a real estatecompany (Dräger Immobilien GmbH). The services to thesubgroups are closely coordinated with them and providedin accordance with arm’s length principles.
The most important task of Drägerwerk AG is the manage-ment of the Group in its capacity as the ultimate parentcompany. This task has been facilitated by appointing amember of the Executive Board of Drägerwerk AG asExecutive Board Chairman of each of the subgroups’parent companies. The business activities of the subgroupsDräger Medical and Dräger Safety are discussed in detailin the group management report.
Control systems
The planning and control systems are based on the annual revision of the Dräger Group’s strategic plan. Thisplan contains the Group’s targets, which are developed inline with expected market developments, technologicaltrends and their influence on products and services, aswell as with the financial means of the Dräger Group. Thehead offices of the Group and subgroups are closely linkedwith the various business units, regions and group com-panies in the strategic plan.
The results are summarized in a five-year plan, the firstyear of which is developed into a detailed budget for thecoming year.
Target figures for the monthly reports on the developmentof the net assets, financial position and results of opera-tions of the group companies, subgroups and the DrägerGroup as a whole are derived from this budget.

3Management report > Dividend proposal/Business activities/Control systems/General economic conditions/Business trend and results of operations
reports are compiled which mainly contain the strategicrisks that cannot be directly derived from the Group’sfigures.
The reports are discussed during Executive and Super-visory Board meetings and provide essential informationfor key decisions.
General economic conditions
In 2005, global economic activity was robust – despite thehigher prices for oil and raw materials – but varied con-siderably between the key economic areas. Real GDPgrowth in 2005 was 3.5 percent in the US, for example,2.8 percent in Japan, 9.9 percent in China and 1.4 per-cent in the euro area, with Germany recording growth of0.9 percent.
Consumer confidence in the US led to a renewed rise in consumption and further growth, despite prolonged structural problems due to the renewed current accountdeficit, the negative savings/income ratio and the increasein government debt. The stagnating Japanese economywas kick-started by the rise in exports and investments,coupled with an increase in consumption. With the waveof consolidation in the Japanese banking industry nowconsidered complete, interest rates still low, and a weakyen, this favorable economic trend has solid foundations.
The growth in China’s GDP also reflects a rise in invest-ments, exports, industrial output and consumption. A pro-longed period of high growth is needed for the country toachieve its per-capita-income target of $1,600 (2000:$800).
Driving growth in the euro area were exports and invest-ments. The highest growth rates were recorded byIreland, Spain, Finland and Luxembourg, and the lowest
by Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and Germany, wherethe discrepancy between successful exports and ailingconsumption was particularly noticeable and put the brakes on any sustainable uptrend.
The industries in which the two subgroups operate arehighly concentrated and characterized by tough competi-tion. However, both industries boast long-term stabilityand a slight growth trend.
Business trend and results of operations
Drägerwerk AG’s business trend and net profit of EUR13.9 million (2004: – EUR 29.0 million) have essentiallybeen influenced by
(a) intragroup restructuring;(b) its result from operating activities;(c) the performance of its operating companies.
As to (a) intragroup restructuringAs of January 1, 2005, 70 percent of Dräger InterservicesGmbH was transferred to Dräger Safety AG & Co. KGaA and30 percent to Dräger Medical Holding GmbH as the busi-ness activities of Interservices GmbH are largely integratedin the business processes of the operating companies. As of the same date, Drägerwerk AG took over Dräger InTekGmbH from Dräger Interservices GmbH. This company,which is to begin trading under the name DrägerImmobilien GmbH as of February 1, 2006, serves as a facility and real estate management company for build-ings belonging to or rented by Drägerwerk AG in Lübeckand other locations in Germany. Its duties also includeletting unoccupied space to third parties as part of anindustrial estate model.

Management report of Drägerwerk AG4
Upon entry in the commercial register on October 31,2005, Dräger Medical AG & Co. KGaA was transformedinto Dräger Medical AG & Co. KG. This change in legalform has simplified the management structure and executive bodies of the subgroup and allowed it to useDrägerwerk AG’s expenses and corresponding loss carry-forwards for corporate income tax purposes.
As to (b) its result from operating activitiesDrägerwerk AG’s result from operating activities, includ-ing services to group companies and third parties, wasstable in 2005. The decline in other operating income andother operating expenses is due to the absence of non-recurring items.
Expenses of EUR 1.0 million (2004: EUR 0.6 million)were incurred by Drägerwerk AG for internal researchand development activities that are not provided and charged on as services to the subgroups. Expenses of EUR 5.8 million for research and development serviceswere incurred and charged on to the subgroups.
As to (c) the performance of its operating companiesIncome from profit and loss (P&L) transfer agreements(including the intragroup tax apportionment) increasedto EUR 57.2 million (2004: EUR 21.8 million) in fiscalyear 2005, as Dräger Medical was then able to pay a dividend after the final execution of the P&L transferagreement on December 31, 2003 left the company withno distributable net earnings out of which it could pay adividend in fiscal year 2004.
No losses had to be absorbed in fiscal year 2005 (2004:EUR 0.9 million).
Net assets and financial position
Being a holding company, Drägerwerk AG presents abalance sheet where high financial assets, intercompanyreceivables and liabilities, and liabilities from groupfinancing prevail.
In fiscal year 2005, non-current assets decreased to EUR650.6 million (Dec. 31, 2004: EUR 658.4 million). Thiswas mainly due to the change in financial assets, in parti-cular the sale of Dräger Interservices GmbH to DrägerSafety AG & Co. KGaA (around EUR 11.2 million) and theparallel buy-back of Dräger InTek GmbH (around EUR 2.3million). As regards property, plant and equipment andintangible assets, additions of EUR 6.7 million out-weighed disposals with net book values of EUR 0.3 mil-lion. Additions included software packages (EUR 1.6 mil-lion) as well as properties to round off its portfolio andrelocate a pathway in preparation for the new construc-tion project for Dräger Medical (EUR 2.0 million).
Liabilities to banks rose to EUR 255.7 million (Dec. 31,2004: EUR 232.9 million); of that amount, loans againstborrower’s note of EUR 215 million are due in one toseven years. This amount was netted with cash and cashequivalents, producing a slight increase in net financialliabilities to banks of EUR 164.2 million (Dec. 31, 2004:EUR 149.4 million). Net liabilities to group companies,however, decreased to EUR 57.5 million as a result ofgroup financing (Dec. 31, 2004: EUR 91.1 million).
Drägerwerk AG’s net profit increased equity to EUR 343.0million (Dec. 31, 2004: EUR 334.4 million), which nowequals 42.6 percent of the balance sheet total (Dec. 31,2004: 41.8 percent).

Personnel and welfare
As of December 31, 2005, Drägerwerk employed 143 people (Dec. 31, 2004: 146).
As of January 1, 2005, the new company pension plans“Rentenplan 2005” for employees of the Dräger Groupand “Führungskräfteversorgung 2005” for managementcame into effect, superseding the former “Versorgungs-ordnung ’90” and “Ruhegeldordnung ’90 ” schemes.
Under the old pension plan, employees received pensionsbased on their salaries and period of employment. As partof the transition to the new plan, employees were guar-anteed a pension based on the old plan for their years ofservice prior to the transition.
The new plan, however, is now composed of three levels:Employer-funded basic levelEmployee-funded top-up level (deferred compensation)Employer-funded supplementary level
The pension cost for the employer-funded basic level isbased on the respective employee’s income.
The employee-funded top-up level allows employees toincrease their pension entitlement through deferred compensation. The contribution made at the employer-funded supplementary level depends on the employeecontribution through deferred compensation and on thecompany’s business performance (EBIT).
The funds resulting from the new pension plan were held in separate bank accounts in 2005. The employees’pension accounts have a minimum guaranteed interestrate of 2.75 percent.
Research and development
Investing in its technological future, the Dräger Groupspent a total of EUR 108.3 million, or 6.6 percent of revenues (2004: EUR 103.8 million, or 6.8 percent), onresearch and development.
The R&D departments of the subgroups employ 748 people worldwide. These work closely with staff membersat the Lübeck-based research department of DrägerwerkAG. This department employs 43 people, who areengaged in product basics and researching and develop-ing promising new technologies for the subgroups.
Technical innovations at Dräger Medical and DrägerSafety reflect the convergence of longstanding experiencein advanced technology product development in thefields of microsystems, nanomaterials, biomoleculartechnology, sensor functions, control equipment and IT.The Group’s strong affiliation with national and inter-national technology providers, research institutes and universities guarantees the high-tech standard of its products.
Dräger Safety’s R&D projects encompass miniaturizedelectrochemical and optical gas sensors, ion sensor spectrometric techniques for identifying molecular com-ponents in the air, and the analysis of trace elements inexhaled breath and saliva. The use of nanotechnology hasled to the development of highly sensitive gas sensors withhigh selectivity and low cross-sensitivity.
Dräger Medical’s R&D projects consist of concepts designed to increase the efficiency and quality of hospitalprocedures. Dräger Medical is currently collaborating ontwo research projects sponsored by the State whose aim isto address technical integration in operating rooms andthe intensive monitoring of in- and outpatients.

Management report of Drägerwerk AG6
Dräger Medical spent EUR 79.9 million, or 7.2 percent ofrevenues, on research and development (2004: EUR 79.5million, or 7.8 percent), and Dräger Safety EUR 27.4 mil-lion, or 4.9 percent of revenues (2004: EUR 23.7 million,or 4.7 percent). Expenses incurred by Drägerwerk AG andnot charged on to the projects of the subgroups amountedto EUR 1.0 million (2004: EUR 0.6 million).
In 2005, Dräger filed a total of 70 patent applications andone utility model with the German Patent and TrademarkOffice. Altogether, 103 new patent applications were sub-mitted to international patent offices. Inventors from thebasic research department in Lübeck were involved inalmost 50 percent of the new applications filed inGermany.
Environmental protection
Environmental protection and management are core elements of Dräger’s location policy and a contributoryfactor towards enhancing the Lübeck headquarters. Sincethe founding of the Dräger waste disposal association,which ensures professional waste management, legal certainty and high environmental standards for waste dis-posal at all companies located on the Dräger industrialestate, the DIN EN ISO 14001-compliant environmentalmanagement system has offered many resident companiesa number of additional advantages. The recertification ofDrägerwerk AG in January 2005, with an association certificate being granted for the first time, has allowed participating companies – including third-party firms – tomeet customers’ demands for environmental certificatesin an efficient manner. In addition to environmentalrecertification, an inspection of the Revalstrasse premisesby the regulatory authorities confirmed that the contin-gency standards make adequate provision for operationalhazards. Environmental considerations were also inclu-ded in the plans for the new Dräger Medical headquarters,e.g. the possibility of using innovative energy supply con-cepts and energy saving technology.
The positive historical trend in environment figures foreach production location has continued to improve.Electricity consumption has remained stable, waste volu-mes have been kept at prior-year levels, and water con-sumption has been reduced yet again by almost 10 percentto a total of 82,000m3.
In terms of energy consumption, the modernization of theenergy supply centers and overhaul of the heat supply net-work led to a 19.5 percent reduction in the use of primaryenergy sources (adjusted for weather effects: 18.3 percent)compared with consumption prior to this work. This alonehas resulted in a reduction in CO2 emissions, which forplants I/II are around 2,300 tons per year.

Risks to future development
As a holding company, Drägerwerk AG is fully exposed to the risks from the operating subgroups’ and other investees’ business activities and the value of its share-holdings, as well as to the risks from P&L transfer agree-ments.
The risk management (RM) system of the Dräger Group,including Drägerwerk AG, comprises all tools for measur-ing, managing and monitoring exposures and potentialrisks. Based on the Group’s and subgroups’ annually revised strategic plans and the resultant short andmedium-term plans, systematic financial control coversdivisions, companies and regions, subgroups and theGroup through monthly or quarterly reports.
Risk management is rounded off by the activities of theGroup internal audit function, the statutory annual audit,and risk reports routinely detail twice annually (and addi-tionally as and when required) all economic, market andcurrency risks, the competitive position and environment,as well as risks specific to the divisions. The RM systemcomplies fully with the objectives of the German Act onCorporate Control and Transparency (“KonTraG”). TheGroup’s internal audit department, the Audit Committeeof the Supervisory Board and the Group’s auditors holdregular discussions in order to optimize the efficacy andefficiency of the monitoring process.
The systems that are in place ensure that informationflows to the respective process owners, the ExecutiveBoard and the Supervisory Board and, if necessary, enables action to be taken at short notice.
In restructuring the Group, important steps have beentaken to safeguard the value of shareholdings and avoidlosses.
Of key concern to Drägerwerk AG is the avoidance of risksassociated with group financing. The interest rate riskinherent in financing is contained by agreeing on fixedlong and (partly hedged) short-term rates. The increase in short-term interest rates by one percentage point wouldaffect the Group’s results by increasing its interest ex-pense by EUR 1 million. For all currency risks pertainingto the operating activities of the divisions within its res-ponsibility, Drägerwerk AG concludes appropriate hedging transactions with external partners. Derivativesfor hedging purposes are only concluded with banks ofprime standing.
The joint venture agreement between Drägerwerk AG,Dräger Medical AG & Co. KG, Dräger Medical HoldingGmbH, Siemens Beteiligungen Inland GmbH, SiemensMedical Holding GmbH and Siemens AG and the part-nership agreement of Dräger Medical AG & Co. KG grantSiemens Medical Holding GmbH a put option wherebyDrägerwerk AG, Dräger Medical Holding GmbH or DrägerMedical Verwaltungs AG would be obligated to acquire theentire stake held by Siemens were the latter to exercisethis option. Siemens AG confirmed that it would revisethe joint venture agreement and the partnership agree-ment in line with the interests of both parties. Therefore,Siemens AG has agreed not to exercise its put option forthe time being.
The risks to future development from changes in the economic environment and various operational risks aredetailed in the Group management report.
In view of the information currently available, Dräger-werk AG’s continued existence as a going concern is notjeopardized.

Notes to Drägerwerk AG’s separate financial statements
GeneralThe separate financial statements of Drägerwerk AG have been prepared in accordancewith the provisions of the German Commercial Code (“HGB”). With a view to en-hancing transparency of presentation, certain items of the balance sheet and incomestatement have been summarized but are detailed further down in these notes. For the income statement, the total-cost method of presentation has consistently been used. The amounts in the separate financial statements are all shown in thousands ofEUR (EUR thousand).
Corporate governanceDrägerwerk AG’s declaration of conformity under the terms of Art. 161 German StockCorporation Act (“AktG”) has been issued and made available to the shareholders (cf.page 13 of the annual report).
Currency translationForeign-currency (i.e., non-euro) receivables and liabilities are stated at the historicalexchange rate. Losses from different current exchange rates are duly recognized.
Accounting policiesPurchased intangible assets are carried at cost less straight-line amortization over anestimated useful life of no more than 4 years.
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less straight-line depreciation overthe assets’ estimated useful life. Acquisition cost is capitalized in accordance with the provisions of Art. 255 (1) HGB. Consequently, it includes incidental purchase costs andpost-acquisition expenses, duly allowing for acquisition cost deductions, if any. Office andfactory buildings are depreciated over a maximum period of 50 years, production plantand machinery over a maximum period of 8 years, and other plant, factory and officeequipment over a maximum period of 15 years, but mainly between 2 and 5 years.Wherever permitted by tax regulations, movable items of property, plant and equipmentare depreciated according to the declining-balance method, applying the maximum ratespermissible. When straight-line depreciation results in higher charges, this method isused thenceforth for the remaining useful life. Low-value assets are fully written off in theyear of their addition. In fiscal year 2005, no special depreciation solely for income taxpurposes was charged.
Within financial assets, the shares in group companies and investments are statedat cost. Non or low-interest loans are disclosed at their present value. Discount and accu-mulated interest are shown as a write-down or write-up, respectively. Non-current assetswhose values, when determined according to the aforesaid principles, exceed the lowercurrent values are written down accordingly. Receivables and other assets are stated atprincipal or par, less any necessary allowances for bad debts, etc.

15Notes to Drägerwerk AG’s separate financial statements
Adequate general allowances provide for the normal collection risk. Non or low-interestreceivables with a remaining term of more than one year are discounted. Prepaid
expenses do not include loan discounts as these are directly expensed. For accountingpurposes, participation capital is regarded as equity due to the terms and conditionsupon which the participation certificates are based. Therefore, it is shown in a separateline additional to the statutory classification format, under equity and after DrägerwerkAG’s net earnings. The par value of this participation capital is disclosed in the textcolumn. Although participation capital is treated as accounting equity, the underlyingparticipation rights maintain their obligatory nature under law. Therefore, the premiumyielded above par can be neither transferred to the additional paid-in capital nor alloca-ted otherwise. Hence it follows that this premium continues to form an integral part ofthe item “participation capital”. Civil-law considerations require that any profit distribu-ted in favor of participation capital may not be debited to a company’s net earnings butoffset against net profit. Consequently, the dividends for participation certificates reducethe net profit or increase the net loss for the period. The underlying dividend distributionis shown in a separate line immediately preceding net profit/loss.
Pension provisions provide for the present value of pension obligations on the basisof actuarial calculations, using an imputed annual interest rate of 6 percent.
As of January 1, 2005, the new company pension plans “Rentenplan 2005” foremployees of the German group companies and “Führungskräfteversorgung 2005” formanagement came into effect, superseding the former “Versorgungsordnung ’90” and“Ruhegeldordnung ’90” schemes. Under the old pension plan, employees received pensions based on their salaries and period of employment. As part of the transition tothe new plan, employees were guaranteed a pension based on the old plan for theiryears of service prior to the transition.
The new plan, however, is now composed of three levels:Employer-funded basic levelEmployee-funded top-up levelEmployer-funded supplementary level
The pension cost for the employer-funded basic level is based on the respective employee’s income. The employee-funded top-up level allows employees to increasetheir pension entitlement through deferred compensation. The contribution made atthe employer-funded supplementary level depends on the employee contributionthrough deferred compensation and on the company’s business performance (EBIT).The funds resulting from the new pension plan were held in separate bank accounts in 2005. These bank accounts are subject to particular restraints on disposal. Theemployees’ pension accounts have a minimum guaranteed interest rate of 2.75 percent.
The new “Heubeck 2005G” mortality tables will be used from 2005.

Reserves from retained earningsThese reserves were created on the basis of profit appropriation resolutions by theCompany and its shareholders.
Participation capitalThe participation capital from the participation certificates issued and floated up toJune 30, 1991, forms part of securities series A, while that created after June 30, 1991,covers securities series K. The terms and conditions underlying the series K participa-tion certificates differ from those for the (series A) certificates outstanding up to June30, 1991, in that their holders may give 5 years’ notice of termination, however, not totake effect prior to December 31, 2021; the period of termination thereafter is again 5years. Therefore, these series K participation certificates represent a securities categoryof their own.
Since the 1997 annual shareholders’ meeting, series D participation certificates havebeen floated; their terms and conditions have been amended in order to qualify asaccounting equity, mainly to adapt to the terms defined by the Institute of PublicAuditors (“Institut der Wirtschaftsprüfer”), as follows: waiver of minimum yield, loss-sharing concept for participation certificates and adequate cumulative, compensatoryterms. Series D participation certificate holders may exercise their calling right every 5 years with 5 years’ notice as of calendar year-end, however, not to take effect prior toDecember 31, 2026.
Since December 1, 1999, the par value of participation certificates has amounted toEUR 25.56.
If the participation certificate holder exercises the calling right, the amount repay-able shall equal the average mean rate of the last 3 months at the Hamburg StockExchange or a maximum of the weighted average issue price of this tranche.

Notes to Drägerwerk AG’s separate financial statements24
Derivative financial instrumentsDerivatives are used to hedge against currency and interest rate risks, particularly currency forwards, futures and options, as well as interest rate hedges (caps). Such con-tracts are only transacted with banks of prime standing and confined to hedge financetransactions. The volume of currency futures and forwards substantially includesexchange rate hedges on behalf of group companies for operations-related underlyingtransactions. At Drägerwerk AG, these exclusively involve closed positions. Interest ratehedges comprise caps and swaps.
The caps have maturities up to 2010 and a residual book value of approx. EUR 40thousand (after write-downs) and are contained in other assets. Other provisions donot contain any obligations from swaps or currency forwards as neither type of trans-action existed as of the balance sheet date.
In fiscal year 2005, a gain of EUR 464 thousand and a loss of EUR 12 thousand were realized on swaps.

Notes to Drägerwerk AG’s separate financial statements26
Distribution for participation capitalFor the reasons explained in Note 4, dividends for participation certificates may not be dis-tributed from net earnings. Consequently, within the income statement, we show aftertaxes and before net profit/loss the dividends for participation certificates in a separateline headed, “Distribution for participation capital.” Therefore, the participation capitaldividend is determined above the line and thus reduces our net profit (or increases ournet loss). The claim to annual dividends under the terms of Art. 2 (1) of the participationcertificate covenants corresponds to 10 times the cash dividend for the Company’s prefer-red stock, hence EUR 5.00.
Proposed appropriation of net earningsNet earnings for fiscal year 2005 amount to EUR 36,339,627.23. This item contains profitbrought forward from the prior year of EUR 22,395,884.53. In accordance with Art. 16(2) of the Company’s bylaws, we will propose to the annual shareholders’ meeting to dis-tribute these net earnings as follows:
We further propose that the remaining net earnings for fiscal year 2005 of EUR 30,370,627.23 be carried forward.

Auditor’s opinionWe have audited the annual financial statements, comprising the balance sheet, theincome statement and the notes to the financial statements, together with the book-keeping system, and the management report of Drägerwerk AG for the fiscal year fromJanuary 1 to December 31, 2005. The maintenance of the books and records and the pre-paration of the annual financial statements and management report in accordance withGerman commercial law and supplementary provisions of the bylaws are the responsi-bility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on theannual financial statements, together with the bookkeeping system, and managementreport based on our audit.
We conducted our audit of the annual financial statements in accordance with theprovisions of Art. 317 German Commercial Code (“HGB”) and German generally ac-cepted standards for the audit of financial statements promulgated by the Institut derWirtschaftsprüfer [Institute of Public Auditors in Germany] (IDW). Those standardsrequire that we plan and perform the audit such that misstatements materially affectingthe presentation of the net assets, financial position and results of operations in theannual financial statements in accordance with [German] principles of proper account-ing and in the management report are detected with reasonable assurance. Knowledgeof the business activities and the economic and legal environment of the Company andexpectations as to possible misstatements are taken into account in the determination of audit procedures. The effectiveness of the accounting-related internal control systemand the evidence supporting the disclosures in the books and records, the annual financial statements and the management report are examined primarily on a test basiswithin the framework of the audit. The audit includes assessing the accounting prin-ciples used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating theoverall presentation of the annual financial statements and management report. Webelieve that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Our audit has not led to any reservations.In our opinion, the annual financial statements give a true and fair view of the net
assets, financial position and results of operations of the Company in accordance with[German] principles of proper accounting. The management report is consistent withthe annual financial statements and as a whole provides a suitable view of theCompany’s position and suitably presents the opportunities and risks of future develop-ment.
