(28) Research and development expenses<br />

In the past fi scal year, € 2.388 million (2010: € 2.545 million) were spent on the development<br />

of new designs.<br />

(29) Audit expenses<br />

In the past fi scal year, € 0.189 million (2010: € 0.186 million) were spent on the audit of the<br />

fi nancial statements of the companies included in the consolidated fi nancial statements as well<br />

as on the audit of the consolidated financial statements. The Group auditor received € 0.101<br />

million (2010: € 0.099 million) as well as an additional € 0.056 million (2010: € 0.032 million)<br />

for tax consulting services and € 0.001 million (2010: € 0.001 million) for other services.<br />

(30) Risks from financial instruments<br />

Only € 0.468 million or 1.5% (2010: € 0.001 million or 0.0%) of the total interest-bearing fi nancial<br />

liabilities of € 31.800 million (2010: € 27.044 million) represent variable-rate loans. Accordingly,<br />

a rise in interest rates by one percentage point would increase interest expenses by € 0.005 million<br />

and reduce net profi t by € 0.003 million. Most of the fi xed-interest loans are medium-term or<br />

long-term loans and are repaid during their terms (see No. 12 above). A.S. Création’s overall interest<br />

rate risk is manageable.<br />

At the operating level, currency risks may occur whenever procurement and/or sales activities<br />

are not nominated in euros but in foreign currencies. Such foreign currency transactions are<br />

negligible in the A.S. Création Group, so that operations are not exposed to a material currency<br />

risk. Due to the fact that A.S. Création is largely funded in euros, currency risks resulting from<br />

the Group’s fi nancing activities are also negligible.<br />
