All f<strong>in</strong>ancial liabilities exist<strong>in</strong>g as of September 30, 20<strong>10</strong> and for which payments were<br />

already contractually agreed were <strong>in</strong>cluded. Plan payments for future liabilities were not<br />

taken <strong>in</strong>to account. Float<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>terest rate payments were determ<strong>in</strong>ed on the basis of the<br />

<strong>in</strong>terest rates known as of September 30, 20<strong>10</strong>. F<strong>in</strong>ancial liabilities cancellable at all times<br />

are always classified to the earliest time slot. Amounts denom<strong>in</strong>ated <strong>in</strong> foreign currencies<br />

are translated to the euro currency us<strong>in</strong>g the average clos<strong>in</strong>g rate.<br />

Payments aris<strong>in</strong>g from the <strong>in</strong>terest rate swaps are made at the respective <strong>in</strong>terest adjustment<br />

dates, so that the swaps’ impact on liquidity is spread over their maturities up<br />

to the year 2012. In particular, a withdrawal <strong>in</strong> the amount of 25.0 million EUR from the<br />

revolv<strong>in</strong>g credit l<strong>in</strong>e is hedged by means of an <strong>in</strong>terest rate swap. S<strong>in</strong>ce this deals with<br />

monthly payments, this amount is shown <strong>in</strong> full under current liabilities due to banks with<br />

a liquidity of up to 30 days. The DOUGLAS Group’s f<strong>in</strong>anc<strong>in</strong>g strategy aims to utilize the<br />

hedged amount of 25.0 million EUR over the entire hedg<strong>in</strong>g term.<br />

Interest rate risks<br />

The <strong>in</strong>terest rate risk is the result of fluctuations <strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>terest rates on the money and<br />

capital markets and market-related fluctuations of exchange rates.<br />

In order to m<strong>in</strong>imize the DOUGLAS Group’s risks associated with <strong>in</strong>terest rate fluctuations<br />

when ref<strong>in</strong>anc<strong>in</strong>g, long-term loans were taken out at fixed and variable <strong>in</strong>terest rates<br />

by conclud<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>terest rate swaps. The draw<strong>in</strong>gs on the revolv<strong>in</strong>g credit facility are made<br />

on the basis of current money market rates and are therefore subject to <strong>in</strong>terest risks. An<br />

amount of 25.0 million EUR from the revolv<strong>in</strong>g credit facility was hedged through <strong>in</strong>terest<br />

rate swaps <strong>in</strong> the 2007/08 fiscal year.<br />

The follow<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>terest rate swaps were <strong>in</strong> use on the balance sheet date to reduce risk.<br />

The Fair Value is determ<strong>in</strong>ed on the basis of the market value of the <strong>in</strong>terest rate hedg<strong>in</strong>g<br />

<strong>in</strong>struments.<br />

For purposes of quantify<strong>in</strong>g the <strong>in</strong>terest rate risk, a sensitivity analysis has been performed<br />

<strong>in</strong> accordance with IFRS 7. As part of this analysis, the impact from changes <strong>in</strong> the<br />

market rate of <strong>in</strong>terest on the <strong>in</strong>terest <strong>in</strong>come and <strong>in</strong>terest expense has been presented. The<br />

sensitivity analysis is based on the follow<strong>in</strong>g parameters: non-derivative f<strong>in</strong>ancial <strong>in</strong>struments<br />

with fixed <strong>in</strong>terest are subject to <strong>in</strong>terest rate risks, which would impact the <strong>in</strong>come<br />

statement or equity, only when measured at Fair Value. If such f<strong>in</strong>ancial <strong>in</strong>struments are<br />

measured at cost, there is no risk aris<strong>in</strong>g from changes <strong>in</strong> the market rates of <strong>in</strong>terest. F<strong>in</strong>ancial<br />

<strong>in</strong>struments with float<strong>in</strong>g rates are generally exposed to risks from changes <strong>in</strong> market<br />

rates of <strong>in</strong>terest if they are not designated as a hedged item as part of a Cash Flow hedge.<br />
