NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Explanatory notes on the principles and methods applied in the consolidated financial statements 97<br />
• Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 12 and IAS 27 “Investment Entities”: The amendments include a definition<br />
of the concept of investment entities and remove such companies from the scope of IFRS 10 “Consolidated<br />
Financial Statements”. Accordingly, investment entities do not consolidate the companies they control<br />
in their IFRS consolidated financial statements. This exception to general principles is not to be<br />
viewed as an option. Rather than fully consolidating participating interests held for investment purposes,<br />
investment entities recognize such interests at fair value and recognize period-based fluctuations in<br />
value through profit or loss. The amendments do not have any implications for consolidated financial<br />
statements that include investment entities unless the group parent company is itself an investment entity.<br />
Subject to adoption into EU law, which is still outstanding, these amendments will require first-time<br />
application in financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2014.<br />
• Amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 “Transition Guidance”: These amendments include clarification<br />
and offer additional relief upon the transition to IFRS 10, IFRS 11, and IFRS 12. Adjusted comparative<br />
information is thus only required for the preceding comparative period. Furthermore, in connection<br />
with note disclosures on non-consolidated structured entities, the obligation to disclose comparative information<br />
for periods prior to first-time application of IFRS 12 has also been waived. Subject to adoption<br />
into EU law, which is still outstanding, the amendments to IFRS 10, IFRS 11 and IFRS 12 will require firsttime<br />
application in financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2014.<br />
• Improvements to IFRS 2009-2011: Amendments were made to five standards within the annual improvement<br />
project. The adjustments made to the formulations contained in individual IFRS standards are intended<br />
to clarify existing requirements. Alongside these, there are also amendments with implications for<br />
accounting, recognition, and measurement, as well as for note disclosures. These relate to the following<br />
standards: IAS 1, IAS 16, IAS 32, IAS 34, and IFRS 1.<br />
The implications of IFRS 9, which is expected to require application from 2015, for the consolidated financial<br />
statements are currently being investigated. From a current perspective, the other requirements are not<br />
expected to have any material implications.
