Operating and financial review of H1 2007 compared with H1 2006

Overview

Network and fleet

In March 2007, SkyEurope commenced flights from Vienna, capitalising
on the high revenue potential of the larger Vienna/Bratislava
catchment area (6 million inhabitants) and the low penetration of low
cost carriers at the Vienna Airport. This has further strengthened
the Company´s position as the leading low cost carrier in the region.

With the addition of flights from Vienna, SkyEurope now flies a total
of 92 routes to 39 destinations in 19 countries from our 4 European
bases, Bratislava/Vienna, Prague, Budapest, and Krakow.

At 31 March 2007 our network was serviced by fourteen 737 aircraft.
Ten of these aircraft were Boeing 737-700 NGs financed through
operating leases with GE Commercial Aviation Services (an additional
two were delivered prior to 31 May 2007). The remaining four Boeing
Classics are on operating lease and are expected to be redelivered
before the end of the fiscal year.

SkyEurope currently has fourteen additional aircraft on firm order to
be delivered in 2007 through 2010 and an additional six Boeing
purchase options that are expected to be exercised in FY 2008. In
total, we expect to have 32 aircraft in our fleet by 2011.

Management

In May 2007, Nick Manoudakis was appointed as SkyEurope´s Chief
Financial Officer. Having graduated with highest honours from the
University of California at Berkeley with a degree in Accounting,
Finance, and Computer Science, Nick practiced as a CPA in the U.S.
before joining a small team to help devise the overall business plan
for what in 1995 became easyJet. Nick was the airline´s Finance
Director between 1995 and the end of 1999 when he became the Finance
Director of easyGroup, acting as a CFO for several of their ventures.
Nick´s experience as a founding and key member of easyJet, one of the
pioneers of low cost air travel in Europe, will add value to
SkyEurope which will greatly benefit from Nick´s aviation background
and depth of experience.

In addition, SkyEurope further strengthened its revenue management
team by adding Navin Kodkani to lead the revenue management team.
Navin previously worked at PremiumAir and SWISS Air and brings to
SkyEurope over 10 years experience in revenue management.

SkyEurope continually strives to recruit and develop outstanding
people and considers its people to be the Company´s most important
assets for future success.

Outlook

For the remainder of the year, SkyEurope´s strengthened revenue
management and financial teams will continue with the implementation
of a load factor active policy, targeting an average load factor
above 80% for the remainder of the fiscal year 2007 and will place
additional focus on improving network efficiency.

By the end of FY 2007, SkyEurope expects to have fully renewed its
fleet with new Boeing 737-700 NGs, thereby operating with one of the
youngest fleets among European airlines. This will help to improve
utilisation and further reduce unit fuel and maintenance costs. The
airline will also place increasing focus in achieving substantial
improvements in other components of the cost base by simplifying
operations; eliminating non-value adding activities; improving
airport and ground handling charges and reducing overheads.

With the overall improvements in revenue and a rigorous cost savings
programme, the Company maintains guidance for delivering a
significant improvement in financial performance in coming months,
and is on track to deliver a positive EBITDAR for the FY 2007 and an
EBIT positive 4th quarter.

Key Performance Indicators

Available seat kilometre ("ASK")

Available seat kilometre is an indicator used by management to
measure units of productive output. It represents the seating
capacity of our aircraft multiplied by the number of kilometres
flown. Despite the reduction in the average number of aircraft
operated (12 in H1 2007 vs. 12.8 in H1 2006), the introduction of 10
(larger) Boeing 737 NG aircraft and an increase in average daily
utilisation by 15.2% to 9:22 hours per day (8:08 hours in H1 2006),
resulted in an 18.7% increase in capacity for the H1 2007 period to
1.62 million ASKs (1.37 million in H1 2006).

Revenue per available seat kilometre ("RASK")

Revenue per available seat kilometre represents total passenger
revenue divided by ASKs and is considered by management one of the
best measures of revenue. It is a compensating indicator between
load factor and average revenue per passenger.

Revenue per available seat kilometre increased by 13.8% from EURc
4.37 in H1 2006 to EURc 4.97 in H1 2007. This was mainly due to the
16.5% increase in load factor achieved during H1 2007.

Cost per available seat kilometre

Cost per available seat kilometre represents total operating expenses
divided by ASKs and management considers movements in cost per
available seat kilometre to be the best indicator of management's
performance in keeping unit costs low.

Cost per available seat kilometre decreased by 1% from EURc 6.89 in
H1 2006 to EURc 6.82 in H1 2007. Cost reductions in aircraft fuel,
ground handling, maintenance and administration expenses were offset
by more expensive leased aircraft added to fleet, higher airport
charges, and targeted increases in sales and marketing in order to
strengthen the SkyEurope brand.

Load factor

Load factor represents the average percentage of aircraft seating
capacity that is actually utilised, calculated by dividing revenue
passenger kilometres by available seat kilometres.

In H1 2007, the Company implemented a "load factor active" policy
resulting in an increase in the passenger numbers and overall revenue
per available seat kilometre. As a result of this, load factors
increased from 68.4% in H1 2006 to 79.7% in H1 2007.

Income statement

Revenue

SkyEurope´s total revenue has increased by 35.1% from EUR 59.7
million in H1 2006 to EUR 80.6 million in H1 2007. RASK increased by
13.8% from EURc 4.37 to EURc 4.97.

Scheduled revenue includes the base fare and booking fees/surcharges
net of any implied government taxes. The 30.6% increase in scheduled
revenue in H1 2007 vs H1 2006 was driven by a 43.8% increase in
passengers from 0.87 million to 1.2 million. The increase in
passengers carried reflects a 15.2% improvement in aircraft
utilisation from an average of 8:08 hours per day in H1 2006 to 9:22
hours in H1 2007 as well as an increase in load factor from 68.4% to
79.7%. The very significant growth in traffic for the period was
partly stimulated by promotional fares for the seasonally weak first
half, resulting a 2.3% erosion in yield (total revenue divided by
revenue passenger kilometres), which was fully offset by the 11.3pp
increase in load factor.

Ancillary revenue includes fees and charges (including credit card
surcharges, excess baggage charges, seat assignment fees, sporting
equipment charges, infant fees, change fees), profit share from
in-flight sales (including food, beverages, and boutique items),
cargo, and commissions received from products and services sold (such
as hotel bookings, car rental bookings and travel insurance). Total
Ancillary revenues per passenger grew very significantly by 67.6%% in
H1 2007 vs H1 2006 which can be attributed to an enhanced portfolio
of products offered to customers, including seat assignment, car
rental and hotel bookings, options which are available through
SkyEurope´s website.

Charter revenue consists of aircraft capacity sold to third parties
or tour operators. The charter season is typically the summer season
(Q3 and Q4) and therefore there has been no significant changes in
total charter revenue in H1 2007 vs H1 2006 (EUR 2.5 million in H1
2007 vs 1.2 million in H1 2006).

Salaries, wages and benefits

Salaries wages and benefits include all crew, maintenance, sales and
overhead salaries and related costs and have increased by 21.4% from
EUR 10 million to EUR 12.1 million from H1 2006 to H1 2007. This
increase reflects an increase in crew numbers due to increased flying
activities in addition to salary increases made to pilots and
mechanics during the H1 2007 to bring the compensation to competitive
levels. Staff costs per ASK has increased from EURc 0.73 to EURc
0.75.

Aircraft fuel

SkyEurope´s fuel costs increased by 7.6% from EUR 22.1 million to EUR
23.8 million from H1 2006 to H1 2007 primarily due to an increase in
sectors flown, however SkyEurope benefited from more modern and fuel
efficient aircraft and a weakening US$/Euro exchange rate. On a per
ASK level, costs decreased by 9.4% from EUR 1.62 to EUR 1.47.

SkyEurope has hedged approximately 90% of the planned fuel
consumption for the FY 2007 at an average price of USD 62.5
bbl/equivalent.

Aircraft rental

Aircraft rental includes the fixed monthly operating leasing expense
paid to the Company´s lessors. The increase in aircraft rental
expense by 61.5% despite a decrease in the average number of aircraft
in the fleet is due to a higher proportion of more expensive aircraft
being used (Boeing 737-700 NG aircraft vs Boeing Classics). On a
cost per ASK basis, aircraft rental expenses have increased by 36%
from EURc 0.56 in H1 2006 to EURc 0.76 in H1 2007.

SkyEurope is on track to increase its aircraft utilization even more,
which will substantially reduce rental cost per ASK.

Sales and marketing

Sales and marketing expenditures include marketing costs, fees paid
to credit card providers, external call centres, reservation system
providers, and other sales and marketing related costs. These costs
have increased as expected due to higher booking related costs
(credit card commissions and call centre fees) attributable to higher
passenger numbers and load factors and targeted efforts made to
further promoting SkyEurope´s brand in key markets. Sales and
marketing costs increased by 42.5% from EUR 5.1 million in H1 2006 to
EUR 7.2 million in H1 2007. Sales and marketing expenses per ASK
increased 20% from EURc 0.37 to EURc 0.45.

Ground handling charges

Ground handling charges have increased by 12% from EUR 7.5 million in
H1 2006 to EUR 8.4 million in H1 2007 due primarily to an increase in
the number of sectors flown which increased 11.3%. On an ASK basis,
ground handling charges have decreased from EURc 0.06 to EURc 0.05.

Airport charges

Airport charges which represent landing fees (fixed turnaround
charges) and per passenger fees charged by airports have increased by
56% from EUR 13.4 million in H1 2006 to EUR 20.9 million in H1 2007
driven by a 43.8% increase in passengers carried resulting in higher
total per passenger charges. Airport charges per ASK have increased
31.5% from EURc 0.98 to EURc 1.29.

Navigation charges

SkyEurope´s navigation charges which include over-flight fees, air
traffic control and approach fees increased by 22% from EUR 7.8
million in H1 2006 to EUR 9.5 million in H1 2007. The increase was
primarily due to a 18.7% increase in ASKs flown and a higher average
maximum take off weight of Boeing 737-700s vs Boeing Classics. On a
cost per ASK basis, navigation charges increased by 2.5% from EURc
0.57 to EURc 0.58.

Maintenance, materials and repairs

SkyEurope´s maintenance expense consists primarily of the cost of
routine maintenance and spare parts; provisions for the estimated
future cost of heavy maintenance and engine overhauls on aircraft;
and advance maintenance payments made to operating lessors charged
based on the number of flight hours and cycles flown during the
month.

Significant maintenance expenses were incurred during H1 2007 due to
redelivery of some Boeing Classics, however this has been offset by
the effect of lower maintenance costs on newer and more reliable
aircraft and improved maintenance contracts with suppliers which
lower our variable maintenance costs. Overall, maintenance expenses
have slightly decreased despite increasing aircraft utilization,
falling 2% from EUR 11.4 million to EUR 11.2 million from H1 2006 to
H1 2007. On a per ASK basis, costs decreased by 17.4% from EURc 0.84
to EURc 0.69.

Aircraft and passenger insurance

Aircraft and passenger insurance costs reduced by 4% from EUR 1
million in H1 2006 to EUR 0.9 million in H1 2007, despite a 43.8%
increase in passenger numbers. This was a result of lower rates being
negotiated with insurance suppliers and and the effect of the
strengthening Euro against the US dollar. On a per ASK basis, costs
reduced by 19.2% from EURc 0.07 to EURc 0.06.

Administrative expenses

Administrative expense decreased significantly by 53% from EUR 7.6
million to EUR 3.6 million from H1 2006 to H1 2007 due to efforts
taken to control overheads. Items in this cost category include
administrative costs, professional fees and operational costs not
included elsewhere. On a per ASK basis, costs decreased by 60.1% from
EUR 0.56 to EUR 0.22.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation relates to charges taken on depreciable fixed assets
consisting of software, office equipment, and leasehold improvements.
There was no significant change to depreciation and amortization
expense during the period.

Interest and other finance charges

Interest and other finance charges represents interest paid or
payable by SkyEurope offset by the revaluation of financial assets
and liabilities. Finance charges relate predominantly to accumulated
interest expense on convertible bonds issued in connection with the
Company´s secondary public offering.

Loss per share

The basic loss per share decreased by 50.6% from EUR 1.68 in H1 2006
to EUR 0.83 in H1 2007.

Balance sheet

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment includes principally predelivery
payments made to Boeing for aircraft to be delivered in future
periods which are not expected to be financed through sale and
leaseback transactions and other depreciable assets including
software, office equipment and leasehold improvements.

The net book value of property, plant and equipment increased from
EUR 17.7 million at 30 September 2006 to EUR 43.4 million at 31 March
2007 due to additional predelivery payments made to Boeing during the
period.

Deposits and other long-term receivables

Long-term receivables and other assets consist principally of
deposits paid to lessors for aircraft under operating lease and other
long-term deposits paid to suppliers. The deposits increased from EUR
8.3 million at 30 September 2006 to EUR 10 million at 31 March 2007
due to the delivery of new aircraft financed on operating lease.

Deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets result primarily from the value of tax losses
incurred in previous years available for carry forward. The Company
has not recognized any new deferred tax assets during the half year
ended 31 March 2007. The Company expects to generate sufficient
taxable income in the future in order to utilize the deferred tax
assets.

Trade and other receivables

Trade receivables represent receivables from tour operators,
outsourced sales desks at airports, lessors, and other miscellaneous
receivables arising in the normal course of operations. The increase
in trade receivables from EUR 13.5 million at 30 September 2006 to
EUR 15.5 million at 31 March 2007 is due to the increase in our
business activities and hence our trade receivables.

Prepaid expenses

In accordance with industry practices, we pay many suppliers such as
fuel suppliers and airports in advance and therefore we have a
significant amount of prepaid expenses. The increase in prepaid
expenses from EUR 25.5 million at September 2006 to 42.9 million at
31 March 2007 is due to an overall increase in the size of our
operations (more airports and higher fuel consumptions) and the
additional advance payments made for the historically busy spring and
summer months.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents has decreased by 26% from EUR 41.8 million
at 30 September 2006 to EUR 30.9 million at 31 March 2007 due to net
operating cash outflow during H1 2007, however has increased
significantly in comparison to H1 2006. This increase is due
primarily to improvements in net cash operating cash-ins driven by
advance bookings for the 3rd and 4th quarters.

Interest bearing loans and borrowings

Interest bearing loans and borrowings represent predelivery payment
financing obtained from the Bank of Scotland Corporate for nine
aircraft to be delivered in 2007 through 2009. Predelivery payments
come due in intervals at scheduled dates prior to the delivery of the
aircraft and thus interest bearing loans and borrowings has increased
from EUR 10.9 million at 30 September 2006 to 36.8 million at 31
March 2007.

Of a total of fourteen aircraft on firm order, predelivery payment
financing has been secured for nine aircraft and term loan financing
for four aircraft.

Convertible bonds

The amount recorded as convertible bonds at 31 March 2007 represents
the carrying value of Tranches A and B of the convertible debt, net
of the portion of the convertible bond recognized directly in equity.
The increase from 30 September 2006 represents interest accrued on
the convertible bonds.

Maintenance provisions

Maintenance provisions represent liabilities recorded for future
maintenance expenses. Amounts are classified as current if it is
expected the future maintenance event will occur within 12 months of
the balance sheet date and non-current if longer than 12 months.

Unearned revenue

Unearned revenue represents advance ticket sales made and has
increased by 100% from EUR 23 million at 30 September 2006 to EUR 46
million at 31 March 2007, principally due to our strong growth and
the seasonality of the business, which means there are more sales in
advance at 31 March compared with 30 September each year.

Trade and other payables

Trade and other payables represents trade debt owed to our suppliers
that arise in the normal course of business. The increase from EUR
53 million at 30 September 2006 to EUR 73.8 million at 31 March 2007
is due primarily to the growth of our business.

Equity

The current equity situation reflects the trading of the seasonally
weak winter season and is expected to improve over the summer trading
period. As we have a sufficient cash balance to meet our obligations
as they come due, we comply with the trading rules of the Vienna or
Warsaw stock exchanges where the Company is listed.

Cash flow

Cash flow from operating activities

As a result of the reduced operating loss for the period and a higher
number of advance bookings, net cash outflow from operating
activities improved and was EUR 14.0 million lower in H1 2007 than in
H1 2006.

Cash flows from investing and financing activities

Cash out flows from investing activities represent predelivery
payments made to Boeing for future aircraft deliveries. Financing
has been secured for most of these predelivery payments and therefore
cash-in from financing activities is approximately equivalent to the
cash out from investing activities.

SELECTED NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Reporting Entity

SkyEurope Holding AG is a Group domiciled in Austria. The condensed
consolidated interim financial statements of the Group as at and for the six
months ended 31 March 2007 comprise the Group and its subsidiaries (together
referred to as the "Group").

The consolidated financial statements of the Group as at and for the year ended
30 September 2006 are available upon request from the Group's operational
headquarters at Ivanská cesta 26, P.O.Box 24, 820 01 Bratislava 21, Slovakia,
or at www.skyeurope.com.

2. Significant accounting policies

Except as described below, the accounting policies applied by the Group in these
condensed consolidated interim financial statements are the same as those
applied by the Group in its consolidated financial statements as at and for the
year ended 30 September 2006.


a. Reclassification of income statement captions

For the 6 months ended 31 March 2007, the Group has made the
following reclassifications within captions disclosed in the income
statement:


• Surcharges and booking fees have been reclassified from ancillary
revenues to scheduled revenue;

• Charter revenue previously classified as passenger revenue has now been
disclosed separately on the face of the income statement;

• Certain airport charges were netted against scheduled revenue in
previous periods (against airport fee revenue classified within scheduled
revenue) and have been reclassified to a new expense caption called "Airport
Charges";

• "Aircraft and traffic servicing" has been separated into additional
income statement captions, "Ground handling charges, Aircraft insurance, and
Navigation charges";


• Variable payments made to lessors based on aircraft
utilization have been reclassified from "Aircraft rental" to
"Maintenance, materials and repairs". These changes do not have an
impact on net income.

These changes have been made to comply with industry best practices
and to allow more meaningful benchmarking of revenues and costs vs
other airlines. This change is only a change in performance measures
and does not have an impact on net income.

b. Reclassification of balance sheet captions

The Group has chosen to reclassify advance payments made to suppliers
to "Prepaid expenses" from "Accounts Receivable" as it better
reflects the nature of the asset.
