The fair value of the Group’s investment property is determined using<br />
various internationally accepted valuation methods such as the gross<br />
rental method, discounted cash flow method, asset value method and<br />
comparison to current market prices of similar real estate. Investment<br />
property located in Germany is primarily determined based on<br />
internally prepared valuations using the gross rental method which is<br />
regulated in Germany by the “Verordnung über Grundsätze für die<br />
Ermittlung der Verkehrswerte von Grundstücken – WertV”. Investment<br />
property located outside Germany is generally determined by external<br />
appraisers.<br />
As of September 30, 2011, the total fair value of the Group’s<br />
investment property is €380 million (2010: €423 million) of which €14<br />
million (2010: €25 million) are based on valuations of external<br />
appraisers.<br />
Additions which are disclosed in the gross amounts include<br />
subsequent expenditure of €0.2 million (2010: €0.1 million).<br />
The lease of investment property resulted in rental income of €17<br />
million (2009/2010: €18 million) and direct operating expense of €9<br />
million (2009/2010: €9 million). Direct operating expense of €8 million<br />
(2009/2010: €14 million) resulted from investment property that does<br />
not generate rental income.<br />
