The reporting year includes disposals of real estate assets<br />
in the amount of €297 million (previous year: €193 million).<br />
These essentially concern the reclassification of assets to<br />
“assets held for sale”.<br />
effects of currency translations reduced tangible assets by<br />
€122 million (previous year: increase of €226 million). This<br />
decline stemmed largely from exchange rate developments<br />
in poland, Russia, Turkey, India and Hungary.<br />
limitations to the disposal of assets in the form of liens and<br />
encumbrances amounted to €314 million (previous year:<br />
€346 million).<br />
purchasing obligations for tangible assets in the amount of<br />
€251 million (previous year: €250 million) were made.<br />
assets used by the <strong>Group</strong> under the terms of finance lease<br />
agreements were valued at €1,310 million (previous year:<br />
€1,074 million). The assets involved are mainly leased<br />
buildings.<br />
Finance leases generally have terms of 15 to 25 years with<br />
options under expiration to extend them at least once for five<br />
years. The interest rates in the leases vary by market and<br />
date of signing between 5.1 and 10.9 percent.<br />
In addition to finance leases, MeTRo GRoUp also signed<br />
other types of leases classified as operating leases based on<br />
their economic value. operating leases generally have an initial<br />
term of up to 15 years. The interest rates in the leases are<br />
based partly on variable and partly on fixed rents.<br />
payments due under finance and operating leases in subsequent<br />
periods are shown as follows:<br />
