as no prepayments of contributions to pension plans with<br />
minimum funding requirements were made during the financial<br />
year 2011, the amendment to IFRIC 14 was of no relevance<br />
to MeTRo aG.<br />
IFRIC 19 (Extinguishing Financial Liabilities<br />
with Equity Instruments)<br />
The new interpretation IFRIC 19 clarifies the accounting<br />
by the entity that issues equity instruments in order to<br />
settle financial liabilities. The issued equity instruments<br />
are regarded as “consideration paid” in accordance with<br />
Ias 39.41 (Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement)<br />
and are recognised at fair value. any differences<br />
between the fair value of the equity instruments issued and<br />
the carrying amount of the extinguished financial liability<br />
are recognised in profit or loss. IFRIC 19 came into effect on<br />
1 July 2010 and therefore applied to MeTRo aG for the first<br />
time in the financial year 2011.<br />
as no such transactions were carried out during the reporting<br />
year, the first-time adoption of IFRIC 19 had no effect on<br />
the consolidated financial statements of MeTRo aG.<br />

In addition, the amendment “limited exemption from Comparative<br />
IFRs 7 Disclosures for First-time adopters” to IFRs 1<br />
(First-time adoption of International Financial Reporting<br />
standards) came into effect. as it only applies to first-time<br />
adopters of IFRss, it did not apply to MeTRo aG.<br />
In the context of “Improvements to IFRs 2010”, amendments<br />
were made to other standards. These had no effect on the<br />
consolidated financial statements of MeTRo aG.<br />
a number of other accounting standards and interpretations<br />
were newly adopted or revised by the IasB that will be binding<br />
for MeTRo aG from 1 January 2012 at the earliest, insofar<br />
as they are approved by the european Commission and relevant<br />
to MeTRo aG:<br />
