• IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement:<br />
This new standard concludes the project to create a uniform and comprehensive measurement<br />
standard. IFRS 13 regulates how fair value is to be measured to the extent that another IFRS<br />
prescribes fair value measurement (or fair value disclosure). IFRS 13 does not regulate what is to<br />
be measured at fair value. A new fair value definition is applicable that characterizes the fair value<br />
as the disposal price of an actual or hypothetical transaction between any given independent<br />
market participants under normal market conditions. This standard is almost comprehensively<br />
applicable. Only IAS 17 and IFRS 2 are excluded. While the scope of these regulations is almost<br />
unchanged for financial instruments, other items such as investment property, intangible assets,<br />
and property, plant and equipment, are now regulated more comprehensively and more precisely.<br />
As far as financial instruments are concerned, market and credit risk effects can now be included<br />
in fair value at the netted level of a portfolio if their connection is demonstrable. The three-level fair<br />
value hierarchy that is already well known is to be applied comprehensively. In the case of “declining<br />
market activities” (previously “inactive markets”), two examination steps are now to be performed.<br />
In other words, to determine whether (a) trading activities have diminished, and (b) whether actual<br />
transactions were not in line with the market – the market price may only be diverged from if both<br />
of these factors are given.<br />
The changes relating to the consolidated financial statements are currently being investigated.<br />
• Amendment to IFRS 7 – Financial Instruments: Disclosures<br />
This amendment to IFRS 7 envisages additional disclosures for transactions that entail a transfer<br />
of financial assets. These particularly focus on residual risks remaining with the transferring party.<br />
Further-reaching disclosure requirements also arise for reporting periods at the end of which a<br />
disproportionately high number of transfers occur. The first-time application of these amendments<br />
will result in effects on disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements to the extent<br />
that financial assets are transferred, and the risks and opportunities connected with the ownership<br />
of these assets remain at least partially within the Group.<br />
3. CONSOLIDATION PRINCIPLES<br />
Consolidated group<br />
The ultimate group company is <strong>ALNO</strong> AG, which is entered in the commercial register of the<br />
Düssel dorf Local Court (HRB 64224). The consolidated financial statements of <strong>ALNO</strong> AG as of<br />
December 31, 2010, include <strong>ALNO</strong> AG and eleven German and three (previous year: eight) foreign<br />
companies according to the principles of full consolidation. <strong>ALNO</strong> AG either directly or indirectly<br />
holds a <strong>100</strong> % interest in these companies, with the exception of the special purpose entities.<br />
Five foreign companies were liquidated in 2010. <strong>ALNO</strong> Austria Möbelvertriebsgesellschaft m.b.H.,<br />
Wiener Neudorf / Austria was liquidated on July 28, 2010. <strong>ALNO</strong> IBERICA S.A., Madrid / Spain,<br />
was liquidated on September 20, 2010, and <strong>ALNO</strong> NEDERLAND B.V., Dongen / Netherlands was<br />
liquidated on September 30, 2010. The subsidiary <strong>ALNO</strong> BELGE N.V., Deinze / Belgium was liquidated<br />
on December 9, 2010, and the subsidiary <strong>ALNO</strong> ITALIA s.r.l., Florence/Italy was liquidated on<br />
December 27, 2010. The intention is that the foreign markets affected will now be supplied directly<br />
by the German production companies. These companies’ income and expenses were included in the<br />
consolidated income statement until the date when they were liquidated. The expected costs were<br />
also fully reported, particularly those for the release of personnel. There were no deconsolidation<br />
gains / losses.<br />
According to IAS 27 in combination with SIC 12, two special purpose entities are fully consolidated.<br />
This is unchanged year-on-year. <strong>ALNO</strong> AG enjoys economic control of these enterprises.<br />
<strong>ALNO</strong> Middle East FZCO, Dubai, UAE, (<strong>ALNO</strong> Middle East), (equity interest: 50 %) is included in the<br />
consolidated financial statements using the equity method.
