DISCLOSURES ON THE ACCOMPANYING CASH FLOW STATEMENT
In accordance with the amended IAS 7, cash flows from the acquisition or manufacture of assets that are exclusively held for rental to others and subsequently held for sale, as well as cash flows from their rental and sale, must be classified as cash flows from operating activities. As from fiscal year 2009, we are therefore reporting liquidity movements resulting from changes in leasing and rental assets in cash flows from operating activities (previously reported in cash flows from investing activities). Accordingly, changes in financial services receivables are also classified as cash flows from operating activities. This leads to a uniform presentation of finance and leasing transactions in the consolidated cash flow statement. The mandatory reclassification of cash flows from leasing and rental assets and the additional reclassification of financial services receivables reduced cash flows from operating activities by €2,869 million and €719 million respectively (2008: reduction by €3,044 million and €5,053 million respectively). There were corresponding offsetting changes in cash flows from investing activities in the same amounts in both periods.
In addition, transactions involving investment property are grouped with those relating to property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. Prior-year figures have been adjusted accordingly.
Explanatory notes on the cash flow statement are presented in note 31.
