Sensitivity to Interest Rate Fluctuations<br />
The table below provides an indication of the estimated future cash flows existing at<br />
December 31, <strong>20</strong>01 from our interest rate hedging instruments and the related hedged assets and<br />
liabilities. These cash flows are calculated based as applicable on the LIBOR 3 months of (1.88%)<br />
and on the applicable spot currency exchange rates at December 31, <strong>20</strong>01.<br />

Fair value of financial instruments<br />
The fair value of interest rate swap contracts is calculated by discounting the future cash flows.<br />
The fair value of forward exchange contracts is computed by discounting the difference between the<br />
contract and the market forward rate and multiplying it by the nominal amount. The fair value of<br />
currency options is calculated using standard option pricing software and verified with banks. The<br />
fair value of all current assets and liabilities (trade accounts receivable and payable, short term loans<br />
and debt, cash, bank overdrafts) is considered to be equivalent to net book value due to their shortterm<br />
maturities. The fair value of long-term debt is determined by estimating future cash flows on a<br />
borrowing-by-borrowing basis and discounting these future cash flows using the borrowing rates at<br />
year-end for similar types of borrowing arrangements. The fair value of listed investment securities is<br />
calculated using their last known market price at year-end. The table below shows the net book<br />
value and market value of financial assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet items.<br />
