Highlight of Business Operations:

Although the U.S. Dollar is Sironas reporting currency, its functional currencies vary depending on the country of operation. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012, approximately 39% of Sironas revenue and approximately 69% of its expenses were in Euro. During the periods under review, the U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rate has fluctuated significantly, thereby impacting Sironas financial results. Between October 1, 2009 and September 30, 2012, the U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rate used to calculate items included in Sironas financial statements varied from a low of $1.2094 to a high of $1.4155. Although Sirona does not apply hedge accounting, Sirona has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts to manage foreign currency exposure. As of September 30, 2012, these contracts had notional amounts totalling $ 34.3 million. As these agreements are relatively short-term (generally six months), continued fluctuation in the U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rate could materially affect Sironas results of operations.
