The following table presents a reconciliation of the expected<br />
expense for income taxes with the actual expense for income<br />
taxes reported in the statement of income. The pre-tax result<br />
is multiplied by the Group tax rate in order to calculate the<br />
Group’s expected expense for income taxes.<br />

Availability of non-capitalised loss carry-forwards<br />
Unused tax loss carry-forwards of EUR 161.9 million (EUR<br />
370.8 million) existed as at the balance sheet date. Making<br />
allowance for local tax rates, EUR 156.5 million (EUR 345.0<br />
million) thereof was not capitalised since realisation is not<br />
sufficiently certain.<br />
Significant elements of the unused tax loss carry-forwards,<br />
non-capitalised tax credits and other non-capitalised temporary<br />
differences were allocated to the disposal group as at the<br />
balance sheet date. This is reflected in a decrease relative to<br />
the previous year.<br />
In addition, tax credits of EUR 5.9 million (EUR 22.3 million)<br />
which were not capitalised are still available. There were no<br />
other temporary differences which had not been capitalised<br />
(previous year: EUR 82.0 million).<br />
