Under U.S. GAAP, repurchased debt securities result in a reduction of outstanding liabilities on the balance<br />

sheet, irrespective of whether the securities are intended for resale or not. The difference between the cost of reacquisition<br />

and the book value of outstanding debt is recorded in current income.<br />

Assets and liabilities held in trust<br />

Under German GAAP, assets and the equal liabilities held in trust are recorded on the balance sheet. Under<br />
