The dreams we realize are those of discovery, exploration, learning and friendship. We help our customers find the meaning of life by experiencing the world. We focus on young people but also welcome the "young in mind."

Traditional travel companies sell airline tickets and bookaccommodation. But the KILROY Group's products andservices encompass the whole travel experience - fromplanning the trip and seeking relevant information, tothe actual flight, accommodations, adventures, new cultures, and the memories and useful experiences toshare with others who also love to travel.

Adding value for the customerThe most important business driver for the KILROYGroup is adding relevant value for our customers.We know what's in and what's out; what's hot, and what's not.

This requires staff competence, which is a fundamentalcomponent of our service offering. We express thiscompetence directly through our sales consultants, andindirectly through our various Web sites. This makes usa highly appreciated authority in our niche segments.

To this, we add our reliable brands and clear segmenta-tion, which makes the KILROY Group stand out in avast and highly competitive marketplace.

Cost efficiencyAdding value for our customers at the lowest possiblecost is our second-most important business driver.Travel is a low-margin industry, and it's only possible tomaintain a competitive edge by constantly improvingproductivity.

The KILROY Group defines the Web as the customer'sfirst point of contact. Technology and simplicity are thekeys to improved efficiency, and we have over the past

years made substantial investments in IT and Webdevelopment to support this business philosophy.

Focus on performanceOur third business driver is focusing on both personaland corporate achievements. Thus, the KILROY Groupis divided into three business units, which all have fullprofit/loss responsibility:

KILROY Individual Travel, with core focus on studentsand young people travelling individually. It consists of KILROY Explorer, specialising in long-haul travel by providing superb personal service and destination knowledge to customers, and KILROY Online, which sells flight tickets and specific non-flight products via the Internet.

KILROY Group Travel, with core focus on youth and students travelling in groups for educational, recreational and other organised purposes.

MyPlanet, serving only the members of the MyPlanet Friendship Societies.

Each business unit is monitored with specific key performance indicators, and these are reflected in theobjectives and action plans for each individual staffmember.

All three business units have the same fundamental strategic pillars, defined as the KILROY M A R C H:

Market leadership - Being the leading player in the segments we serve.

Availability - Offering the customer the most conveni-ent and cheapest distribution access at any given time.

Relevance - Adding value for the customer in accordance with his or her preferences.

Cost efficiency - Streamlining the operation to document cost efficiency at the highest industry level.

Human resources - Having the best and most competent staff serving our customers better thananyone else.

Industry dynamics The future of the travel industry still seems to be turbulent with a number of structural changes ahead.But in the KILROY Group, we believe that the dream of exploring the world is a growing and inexhaustibletrend, especially in the segments we serve. The custo-mers' demand for individualized and specialized services is expected to grow faster in the years tocome. Exploiting the growing importance of theInternet, and being able to swiftly adapt to the rules ofthe industry's new business models, will be the keys totravel companies' future success.

This is why we in the KILROY Group continuouslyadjust our business platforms to anticipate and adapt to market dynamics. We have defined the Web as ourcustomers' first point of contact, reflecting the fact thatthe Web is by far our target groups' most importantsource of inspiration.

We constantly streamline our business processes inorder to reduce transaction costs. We analyse our customers' needs and preferences in order to be ableto add and deliver the right value. We constantly investin our brands to underline our reliability for customers ina highly turbulent market. And we continue to build evercloser relationships with suppliers, who are committedto our philosophy of serving niche markets in a uniqueand dedicated way.

The KILROY Group is prepared to play an active role inthe consolidation process that is expected to take placein the travel industry in the coming years.

KILROY travels International A/S has a very special mission called, "Dreams … we make them happen!" We are a group of travel companies, based in Europe, who specialises in value-added travel for students, young people and members of the MyPlanet Friendship Societies.

Report of the Board of DirectorsThe general demand for travel recovered somewhat in 2004 but the aggressive price wars between general commercial airlines and low-cost carriers on the European market continued to put price pressure on flight tickets. Despite these challenges, the KILROY Groupmanaged to improve financial results from its losses in 2003 through restructuring, cost efficiency and focus on the Web as the primaryinterface with customers.KILROY Group turnover in 2004 reached DKK 1,209million, a marginal drop of 4% from DKK 1,260 million in 2003, mainly driven by the continuedprice pressure on short-haul traffic. EBITDAreached DKK 21.4 million, an increase from DKK19.0 million in 2003, resulting in an EBIT of DKK 2.1million, compared to an EBIT of DKK -3.2 million in2003.The KILROY Group closed the year 2004 witha profit before tax and extraordinary items of DKK5.2 million. After extraordinary items, the EBTresult ended with DKK 1.3 million.

Market conditions and the KILROY GroupDue to the introduction of aggressive business modelsby the different players in the travel value chain, the KILROY Group's consolidated turnover, gross profit and EBITDA did not fully live up to our expectations.However, restructuring of the internal business models,with special focus on the business unit KILROYIndividual Travel, continues at an accelerated pace andhas begun to show positive results.

The belligerent market penetration of the low-cost carriers continued in 2004 as the low-cost carriers forced traditional carriers to restructure their businessmodels while fighting for market share.Yield has gene-

rally declined, and the majority of airlines have moved toa 0-commission platform.

Demand for air travel increased in a number of marketsin 2004, but the recent years' drop in the yield per customer has put pressure on the KILROY Group tochange its product mix towards more profitable, non-flight products. Due to our extensive focus on product mix, the KILROY Group managed to maintainthe 2003 gross profit percent into 2004.

The Internet has firmly established itself as a key distribution channel for travel products, showing highdouble-digit growth rates. The KILROY Group sees theWeb as the first point of customer contact, and the growing traffic figures on different KILROY Web sitesconfirm this business strategy.

Also as a result of market competition and the trend inonline services, the business unit KILROY IndividualTravel has implemented a new business model thatsplits the unit into two areas: KILROY Explorer, whichfocuses primarily on long-haul traffic, and KILROYOnline, which sells air tickets and non-flight productsonline.

Technology is the main driver for improved productivity

in the travel industry, and is one of the main drivers inthe KILROY Group's cost reduction programs. In 2004,capacity costs were reduced in line with our strategy ofbringing transaction costs down to make KILROY one ofthe most competitive players in the market. Total produc-tivity increased 7% in 2004 as expected. To support theproductivity drive, further investments in IT technologyand Web development were made in all three businessunits.

The business unit MyPlanet also gave priority to technology and organisational investments related to thedevelopment of a new customer relations management(CRM) system, which was fully implemented in mid-2004. The business unit KILROY Group Travel focusedon finalizing the development of a new, fully integratedfront, mid and back office system.Total investment in 2004 reached DKK 11 million, mostof which was IT/Web-related, creating a platform for further productivity increases in the future.

Industry restructuringThe travel industry is restructuring rapidly, and changesin the KILROY Group's business models have receivedurgent priority. KILROY Individual Travel has, as mentioned above, split into two cost-effective business

areas, and MyPlanet has given priority to the develop-ment of both its member-based CRM and new, profita-ble membership services. 2004 was MyPlanet's first fullyear of activity on the Australian market.The business unit KILROY Group Travel has focused on using the Web to add further value to its existing services. The business unit has also seen very positivegrowth related to the new business area, skiing holidays, introduced in 2003 and marketed under theTEAM BENNS brand.

Adding valueAll three KILROY business units are fully dedicated tosegmentation and adding value. The focus on nichesegments supports the development of competenciesthat add value for customers. This is a process whichhas become even more important in response to thepressure on flight prices.

Our one-stop shopping philosophy was enhanced further in all business units in 2004. It builds on understanding the customer, technology support andstaff competence, irrespective of whether the customercontact is online or through traditional channels. Wehave seen positive results both in product mix and customer satisfaction with our philosophy.

Suppliers and the KILROY GroupIn general, airlines are increasingly bypassing travelagencies in order to obtain direct customer contact.This development has also hit the KILROY Group.The clear niche focus of all three business units hashowever put us in a position to strengthen our specialpartnerships with a range of airlines who recognise theefficiency with which KILROY serves our - and their -customers.

A number of major airlines have terminated their specialSATA youth & student ticket agreements, which have put pressure on the part of financial income categorisedunder other income. However, KILROY has negotiatednew ticket concepts, and other airlines have entered intoSATA ticket agreements. In 2004 approximately 2/3 ofKILROY Individual Travel's flight turnover was still generated from special youth and student arrange-ments. Close cooperation with non-flight suppliers wasalso intensified in 2004, and the KILROY Group signeda number of international partnership agreements.

Risk to the businessThe major risk to the travel industry is reduced profitability in the value chain, caused by continuing low flight prices and low yield, overcapacity in flightseats and customers serving themselves via theInternet. The only short-term way out of this dilemma is an increase in demand, and this is finally appearing in several key markets. The niche segments the KILROYGroup serves are expected to regain demand morestrongly than the average market segments.

The Association for Tourism and Leisure Education(ATLAS) has forecast that the student and youth travelmarket would increase its share of all tourism journeysin 2005. The mature and more affluent customers thatMyPlanet serves are also predicted to increase their tra-vel activities in the coming years.Despite the increasing demand, the major challenge ofreduced profitability per passenger remains. Thus, in thelong term, further restructuring and consolidation of thetravel industry must take place. The players who havebusiness models with the right balance between costefficiency, the ability to add relevant value, and ademand-driven structure will be the winners.The KILROY Group's operational restructuring andinvestments all aim at finding the strongest possibleposition in this new business reality.

Shareholder information63.4% of the shares in KILROY travels International A/Sare owned by the Real Estate Funds of the StudentUnion of the University of Helsinki (HYY). The RealEstate Funds of HYY is the parent corporation for thegroup of consolidated Finnish property and servicecompanies (HYY Group).

Axcel IndustriInvestor a.s., with 29.5%, is owned by ATP(Danish Labour Market Supplementary Pension Fund),FIH (Finance for Danish Industry), Investeringsselskabetaf 30.4.1992 (Radiometer's former primary sharehol-der), Kirkbi (Lego), NIB Capital (Holland), PKA (PensionFund Administration) and Nordea Bank Danmark.Nordic student organizations and others own the remaining 7.1% of KILROY travels International A/S.

Expectations for 2005Barring any major terrorist attacks, natural disasters oroutbreaks of epidemic diseases, our expectations for

2005 are moderately positive. Customer demands areexpected to grow stemming, from positive economic forecasts for our main markets, although theNetherlands in 2004 was still in the grip of recession.Interest rates are expected to slightly increase duringsecond half but remain relatively low, which will continueto hamper possibilities of major improvement in theGroup's financial income.

MyPlanet expects the customer demand for Australia/New Zealand and USA/Canada destinations to be further intensified during 2005. Thus a two-digits organicgrowth is expected. Continuing high focus on productmix and productivity will improve the MyPlanet profita-bility in 2005.

KILROY Group Travel is expected to continue its growthin Sweden, Norway and Finland. In Denmark, publiceducational budget cuts have had a negative impact, but part of the lost turnover will be regained throughnew product features under the TEAM BENNS brand,such as skiing trips. Productivity increases related to the implementation of a new IT platform have alreadybegun to materialise.

KILROY Individual Travel is expecting a turnover growthdriven mainly by the KILROY Online business model.Activities to maintain customer traffic are planned. Theyield per customer is still highly dependent on the grossprofit margin on flight products, so focus on non-flightproducts will be further intensified. Due to earlier IT investments, an increase in productivity is also expected in 2005.

For the KILROY Group as a whole, a slight decrease in gross profit margin is expected due to continuingpressure on flight prices. However, due to further productivity gain in all three business units, an increasein earnings is expected during 2005.

Management of the KILROY GroupOn 1 January 2005, the Board of Directors employed Claus H. Hejlesen as new Managing Director of KILROY travels International A/S. He replaced MogensJønck. Claus H. Hejlesen has previously worked for theKILROY Group (1990-2002).

6 The KILROY Group

KILROY Individual Travel - kilroytravels.comMarket conditionsKILROY Individual Travel is the market leader in individualized travel for students and young people in the countries where we operate: Denmark, Finland,the Netherlands, Norway and Sweden. In total, KILROY Individual Travel operates 27 shops, six callcentres, an Internet booking engine and two serviceoffices, in Bangkok and Sydney.

In 2004 KILROY closed down its wholesale businessin Spain, as there was no longer a sustainable business platform for serving a "middleman" functionin selling student flight tickets to the travel agencies.

In the fourth quarter of 2003, KILROY Individual Travelimplemented a new business model, splitting into twobusiness areas called KILROY Explorer and KILROYOnline. KILROY Explorer focuses primarily on sellinglong-haul travel by providing superb personal serviceand destination knowledge to customers, at highlycompetitive prices, via KILROY shops and call centres.

KILROY Online sells flight tickets and specific non-flight products on the Internet, also at competitive

prices. In 2004 demand for travel increased in theNordic countries, especially in Denmark, where a taxreform and general economic optimism fuelled spen-ding. In the Netherlands, however, travel demanddecreased as a result of general recession in thatcountry.

Competition was still fierce in all markets. The contin-ued price war between traditional and low-cost airlinesdecreased air product prices and margins even furtherduring 2004, and continued to impact on the earningsof KILROY Individual Travel.

Business operationsKILROY Individual Travel is confident that its strategicroadmap and business model are the right solution for addressing the future challenges of this sector ofthe travel market. Although the business unit KILROYIndividual Travel has improved its business performan-ce during 2004, the delivered profitability is still at an unacceptable level.

KILROY Individual Travel managed to grow its marketshare on long-haul travel, but, the total turnover declined by 10%, as further market share in the

short-haul business was lost to low-cost carriers andtraditional airlines. The ratio between long-haul salesand short-haul sales is now in balance for futuregrowth.

Both sales and gross profit productivity per staff increased in 2004, fuelled by staff competence upgrade programmes, focus on selling the right products and reaping the benefits of a fully integratedfront-to-back IT platform.

Despite the continued decline in air ticket margins in2004, KILROY Individual Travel managed to maintainoverall margins at the same level as 2003. This waspossible due to a considerable increase in the sales of non-flight products with high margins, and toKILROY's successful renegotiation of terms with keystrategic airline partners. A capacity cost reductionprogramme generated more than DKK 15 million insavings in 2004.

The launch of the KILROY Explorer business hasbeen performing in accordance with expectations inboth turnover and earnings. KILROY Individual Travelwas able to increase the turnover on long-haul travel

compared to 2003. In Denmark and Finland, KILROYsignificantly increased market share on long-haul travel,while in other markets, it was able to maintain or slightly increase market share.

The business unit KILROY Individual Travel appears to have found a sustainable market platform with theExplorer business approach.

KILROY Online, on the other hand, did not live up toexpectations either in turnover or earnings. Turnovergrew with double digits, but technical challenges duringhigh season prevented the growth that was anticipated.

The main technical challenges were eventually solved,so KILROY Individual Travel enters 2005 with the

confidence that online sales are back on track.

Web - the customer's first point of contactKILROY Individual Travel relies on the Internet as the customer's first point of contact. Thus, KILROY continued to invest in the KILROY Web site in 2004.

The main focus has been to encourage the sales offlight tickets and non-flight products, and to improve the content of the Web site to ensure that the curiouscustomer receives all relevant information about his orher travel needs.

Target GroupStudents and youth continue to be the core customersof KILROY Individual Travel's business. Other people

who still feel "young in mind," and subscribe to the KILROY way of travelling, are also welcome.KILROY Individual Travel will continue efforts to capturethe potential of this particular segment, which encom-pass first and foremost former KILROY customers.

KILROY Group Travel - kilroygroups.com; team-benns.comMarket conditionsKILROY Group Travel is the market leader in the grouptravel segments in the Nordic countries of Denmark,Finland, Norway and Sweden. It specialises in youthand students travelling in groups for educational andother organised purposes. It consists of the brands KILROY Group Travel and TEAM BENNS, and servesmore than 150,000 passengers a year.

The general market demand in 2004 was stronger thanin 2003, but flight margins were still under considerablepressure from fierce competition.

Business operationsFinancial performance in all countries was highly positive in 2004 as a result of previous years' investments. This supported the KILROY Group Travelbrand position as a highly professional provider of educational trip concepts to the entire academic sector.

A new business area for TEAM BENNS - skiing holidays - is still developing positively, and the potentialfor future growth is promising. The flight ticket price waramong low-cost carriers continues to put pressure onmargins, but KILROY Group Travel has managed tocompensate for this by increasing productivity andintensifying partnerships with selected suppliers.

Implementation of a new, fully integrated IT businessand accounting system, ACE Tour, in 2003 and 2004has contributed to the increased productivity.

KILROY Group Travel has in 2004 implemented a revised Web strategy, making the Internet one of themain drivers for future business development and increases in productivity.

KILROY Group Travel's goal is to have the best andmost relevant products available. Thus, an integral part

of KILROY Group Travel's strategy is to maintain closecooperation and dialogue with the educational community. A range of new concepts and destinationswas launched again in 2004, through a broad portfolioof specialised catalogues, online marketing and theconstant upgrading of competence in all sales staff.

MyPlanet - myplanet.comMarket conditionsMyPlanet serves the approx. 33,000 members of theMyPlanet Friendship Societies.

In 2004 MyPlanet experienced growth in all markets -Australia, Denmark, Norway and Sweden - and in allproduct areas - Australia, Canada, New Zealand andUSA. This contributed to business growth of around12%. Nevertheless, there is still room for expansion on Canada and USA, as market opportunities haveyet to be fully exploited.

Business operations2004 was the first full year of MyPlanet's activity onthe Australian market. Development has been in linewith expectations, and MyPlanet saw growth ininbound traffic from Scandinavian travellers, as well as outbound traffic to Scandinavia, in co-operationwith the Scandinavian Friendship Society of Australia.

MyPlanet's investment in 2003 in Bentours Int. Pty.Ltd., which is Australia's leading specialist in travel to Scandinavia, has been successful, both in terms of earnings and in co-operation in general. As a result,MyPlanet assumed the remaining 2/3 stake inBentours Int. Pty. Ltd. as of January 1, 2005, and

will operate both companies under the same manage-ment.

In Sweden, MyPlanet Education was in 2004 sold toKILROY travels Sweden in order to improve the business structure. MyPlanet Education's customersegment coincides with that of KILROY travels, somarketing opportunities are expected to be greaterunder the revised organisation.

MyPlanet's new customer relations management sys-tem (CRM) was fully implemented in the Scandinaviancountries in mid-2004, providing new opportunities forthe collection, organisation and utilisation of customerdata in sales and marketing. At the end of the year, MyPlanet launched a new Web site, which is linked tothe CRM system, and this will be marketed as the firstpoint of contact for customers.

MyPlanet will continue to enhance and improve itsWeb presence, as MyPlanet members of all agesmake increasing use of the Web. These new tools willhelp MyPlanet develop the activities and services defined in its strategy for differentiating itself in themarket. Also in 2004, MyPlanet published new travel catalogues - one for Australia/New Zealand and one

for Canada/USA. They are divided into inspiration andproduct sections, and stand out from other cataloguesin the market by expressing MyPlanet's passion andexpertise in these countries.

They also go deeper than traditional tourism brochu-res with themes that focus on "meeting the well-known, the lesser known and the completelyunknown."

In 2004 the two Friendship Societies in Norway merged into one - MyPlanet Friendship Society ofNorway. MyPlanet's collaboration with the FriendshipSocieties remains in sharp focus and both sides willcontinue to work at developing this unique concept,and to use technical tools in making member serviceseven more active.

Despite increasing pressure on margins for air ticketsand non-revenue bearing taxes, MyPlanet maintainedthe same satisfactory level of profitability as in 2003.

Total Group shareholders’ equityincreased to DKK 69.5 million at the end of the year,due to:

Dividends and dividend policyThe Board recommends no payment of dividend for 2004. Future dividends will be proposed with consideration for the KILROY Group’s expansion plans,continued consolidation and liquidity.

InvestmentsIn 2004, the KILROY Group made investments of DKK 11.0 million, of which DKK 8.3 million went to IT-related developments. The major part of the IT invest-ment was used for a new CRM-system in MyPlanet.

The significant amount spent on IT investments is part of the long-term growth strategy for the KILROY group.

Financial managementThe KILROY Group places liquid assets in the short-term money market, and in publicly traded government securities and mortgage backed bonds with a relatively short average maturity.

It is the policy of the KILROY Group that the liquidityratio always is above 100 in order to ensure that allshort-term liabilities can be paid immediately at anytime. It is also the policy that subsidiaries do not holdliquid assets in excess of those required for normaloperations, and they may not issue debt locally or make other financing arrangements/agreements.

The financial risks of doing business in many countries and currencies are managed according to the established policies to ensure that currency exposure is minimized to the extent possible.

KILROY travels International’s treasury function controls and hedges the consolidated foreign exchange exposure.

Companies in which the Group owns 20-50% of therespective company’s equity, but of which the Groupdoes not hold a controlling share, are referred to as affiliated companies. The value of the Group’s share iscalculated according to its share of the affiliated com-pany’s net assets.Entries relating to affiliated companies connected toKILROY travels International A/S and operated in con-junction with other shareholders are prorated in propor-tion to the size of the share, when compiling consolida-ted accounts. Upon acquisition of a subsidiary, theshare of the net assets is calculated according to theGroup’s accounting policies.

If the purchase price deviates from the value of the net assets, the difference is, to the extent possible, allocated to the assets or liabilities that have a higher or lower value.In addition, provisions are made for the expenses incurred at the time of purchase.
