80 NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSImpairmentAs per every balance sheet date, an examination is carried out as to whether there are any objective indications of afinancial asset or a group of financial assets being impaired. In the event of shareholders’ equity instruments classifiedas available for sale, a significant or lasting decline in the fair value of these instruments below their acquisitioncost is considered when determining to what extent the shareholders’ equity instruments are impaired.With regard to outstanding amounts from customer receivables valued at amortised acquisition cost, the companyinitially determines whether there is any objective indication of significant financial assets being individually impairedor of insignificant financial assets being individually or jointly impaired. If the group determines that there is no objectiveindication of impairment for an individually tested financial asset – significant or not – it incorporates the assetinto a group of financial assets with comparable credit risk profiles and tests them jointly for impairment. Assetstested individually for impairment and for which a new or recurrent impairment is recorded are not included in a jointimpairment assessment. Any determined impairment loss is recognised through profit and loss.DerecognitionA financial asset (or, if applicable, part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognisedif one of the following requirements is met:→→The contractual rights to receive cash flows from a financial asset have expired.The Group has transferred its contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset to a third party orhas assumed a contractual obligation to immediately pay the cash flow to a third party as part of an agreementthat meets the condition in IAS 39 (pass-through agreement) and has thereby either (a) transferred all the significantrisks and rewards associated with owning the financial asset or (b) neither transferred nor retained all thesignificant risks and rewards associated with owning the financial asset but instead transferred control of theasset.(13) InventoriesInventories are stated at the lower of purchase cost and net realisable value in accordance with IAS 2 »Inventories«. Inthe process, the acquisition costs are fundamentally determined on the basis of direct costs including incidental acquisitioncosts.(14) Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents include cash on hand as well as bank credit balances with banks and bank deposits with anoriginal maturity of up to three months. They are classified as financial assets held for trading and <strong>report</strong>ed in thebalance sheet at their present value. If a financial investment is to be classified as a cash equivalent, it must be possibleto easily convert it into a particular cash amount.
