<strong>Deutsche</strong> <strong>Bank</strong> Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements F-49<br />

<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>20</strong>10 on <strong>Form</strong> <strong>20</strong>-F 04 – Acquisitions and Dispositions<br />

IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, <strong>20</strong>13, with earlier application permitted.<br />

IFRS 9 should be applied retrospectively; however, if adopted before January 1, <strong>20</strong>12, comparative periods do<br />

not need to be restated. IFRS 9 is superseded by IFRS 9 R as mentioned below. However, for annual periods<br />

beginning before January 1, <strong>20</strong>13, an entity may elect to apply IFRS 9 or IFRS 9 R. While approved by the<br />

IASB, IFRS 9 has yet to be endorsed by the EU. The Group is currently evaluating the potential impact that the<br />

adoption of IFRS 9 will have on its consolidated financial statements.<br />

IFRS 9 R<br />

In October <strong>20</strong>10, the IASB issued a revised version of IFRS 9, “Financial Instruments” (“IFRS 9 R”). The revised<br />

standard adds guidance on the classification and measurement of financial liabilities. IFRS 9 R requires entities<br />

with financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss to recognize changes in the fair value due<br />

to changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income. However, if recognizing these changes in<br />

other comprehensive income creates an accounting mismatch, an entity would present the entire change in fair<br />

value within profit or loss. There is no subsequent recycling of the amounts recorded in other comprehensive<br />

income to profit or loss, but accumulated gains or losses may be transferred within equity. IFRS 9 R supersedes<br />

IFRS 9 and is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, <strong>20</strong>13, with earlier application permitted.<br />

For annual periods beginning before January 1, <strong>20</strong>13, an entity may elect to apply IFRS 9 R or IFRS 9. While<br />

approved by the IASB, IFRS 9 R has yet to be endorsed by the EU. The Group is currently evaluating the<br />

potential impact that the adoption of IFRS 9 R will have on its consolidated financial statements.<br />

04 –<br />

Acquisitions and Dispositions<br />

The following business combinations which have been completed in <strong>20</strong>10 are accounted for in accordance<br />

with the revised IFRS 3 R, “Business Combinations”, which the Group adopted as of January 1, <strong>20</strong>10. Accordingly,<br />

disclosures provided for these transactions are made on the basis of IFRS 3 R. However, both the accounting<br />

applied as well as disclosures provided for business combinations which were completed prior to January 1,<br />

<strong>20</strong>10 remain under the governance of the predecessor standard IFRS 3 (<strong>20</strong>04).<br />

In view of its significance, the Postbank elements of certain disclosures are separately identified in those other<br />

notes to the consolidated financial statements where Postbank has a material impact.
