Leas<strong>in</strong>g<br />

The economic ownership of a leased asset is classified to that contractual party who<br />

bears substantially all the risks and rewards <strong>in</strong>cident to ownership of the leased asset. Material<br />

lease arrangements predom<strong>in</strong>antly relate to the leas<strong>in</strong>g of company stores with<strong>in</strong><br />

the DOUGLAS Group. Leases are recognized <strong>in</strong> the balance sheet accord<strong>in</strong>g to the requirements<br />

of IAS 17. In order to ensure the greatest possible flexibility, the DOUGLAS Group<br />

generally aims to conclude rental agreements with a fixed rental period of no more than<br />

<strong>10</strong> years and s<strong>in</strong>gle or multiple exercisable options to extend the lease. In classify<strong>in</strong>g lease<br />

agreements, consideration is given to the basic lease term and the exercise of any renewal<br />

options on the basis of knowledge acquired <strong>in</strong> the past, which means that these agreements<br />

regularly qualify as operat<strong>in</strong>g leases.<br />

If, <strong>in</strong> cases of exception, the economic ownership of leased assets can be allocated to<br />

the DOUGLAS Group, the leased assets are capitalized at the <strong>in</strong>ception of the lease and<br />

subject to scheduled straight-l<strong>in</strong>e depreciation <strong>in</strong> subsequent periods. At the commencement<br />

of the lease, the leased asset is recognized at the Fair Value of the asset or, if lower,<br />

the present value of the m<strong>in</strong>imum lease payments. On the other hand, the f<strong>in</strong>ancial obligations<br />

that result from future lease payments are recognized as a liability <strong>in</strong> the same<br />

amount. Depreciation is conducted over the estimated useful life or the shorter lease term.<br />

This liability is amortized proportionately over the lease term accord<strong>in</strong>g to the effective<br />

<strong>in</strong>terest rate method plus accrued <strong>in</strong>terest.<br />

F<strong>in</strong>ancial assets<br />

F<strong>in</strong>ancial assets, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>terests <strong>in</strong> unconsolidated companies that are not measured<br />

us<strong>in</strong>g the equity method, other equity participations, loans, securities and contractual<br />

receivables are accounted for accord<strong>in</strong>g to IAS 39. Depend<strong>in</strong>g on their classification,<br />

these are either measured at Fair Value (securities and f<strong>in</strong>ancial assets from derivative<br />

f<strong>in</strong>ancial <strong>in</strong>struments) or amortized cost (loans, trade receivables, and other contractual<br />

f<strong>in</strong>ancial receivables). F<strong>in</strong>ancial assets are <strong>in</strong>itially measured at Fair Value.<br />

Interests <strong>in</strong> companies <strong>in</strong> which the DOUGLAS Group has a significant <strong>in</strong>fluence are<br />

recognized <strong>in</strong> the balance sheet us<strong>in</strong>g the equity method at their allocable equity and reported<br />

as <strong>in</strong>vestments <strong>in</strong> associates.<br />

F<strong>in</strong>ancial assets are derecognized either upon settlement or when substantially all opportunities<br />

and risks are transferred.<br />
