Following a strong start to the year and a new all-time high of € 119.70 in February, the Fresenius share closed at € 108.90 at the end of the first half. On August 1, the three-for-one stock split became effective.
Following a strong start to the year, stock markets were affected by geopolitical tensions and weak economic growth in emerging markets. At the same time, the accelerating growth of the global economy continued during the fi rst half. The Eurozone's growth domestic product is expected to expand by 1% in 2014, while GDP growth in the US is forecast at 2.3%. In support of this positive trend, the ECB continued its expansive fi scal policy and set the interest rate for bank deposits at below 0% for the fi rst time ever. The US Federal Reserve continued to reduce bond purchases in the second quarter. An
increase in the prime interest rate is not expected to occur before 2015.
The Fresenius share reached a new all-time high of € 119.70 in February. The share closed at € 108.90 on June 30 (December 31, 2013: € 111.60). The DAX increased 4.6% over the same period and reached a record high of 10,029 points in June.
On August 1, the three-for-one stock split approved by the Annual General Meeting in May became effective. The share closed at € 36.99 on August 4, the fi rst trading day following the stock split.

All business segments showed marked improvement from the first quarter. The integration of the newly acquired hospitals is fully on track and Kabi saw growing business momentum in all key markets. Looking ahead, Fresenius expects growth to accelerate further across the Group in the second half of the year and fully confirms its 2014 earnings guidance.

The health care sector is one of the world's largest industries. It is relatively insensitive to economic fl uctuations compared to other sectors and has posted above-average growth over the past years.
The main growth factors are rising medical needs deriving from aging populations, the growing number of chronically ill and multimorbid patients, stronger demand for innovative products and therapies, advances in medical technology and the growing health consciousness, which increases the demand for health care services and facilities.
In the emerging countries, drivers are the expanding availability and correspondingly greater demand for basic health care and increasing national incomes and hence higher spending on health care.
Health care structures are being reviewed and cost-cutting potential identifi ed in order to contain the steadily rising health care expenditures. However, such measures cannot
compensate for the cost pressure. Market-based elements are increasingly being introduced into the health care system to create incentives for cost- and quality-conscious behavior. Overall treatment costs shall be reduced through improved quality standards. In addition, ever-greater importance is being placed on disease prevention and innovative reimbursement models linked to treatment quality standards.
Group sales increased by 7% (12% in constant currency) to € 10,733 million (H1 / 2013: € 9,987 million). Organic sales growth was 3%. Acquisitions contributed 9%. Divestitures had a marginal effect on sales growth.
Organic sales growth was 3% in North America and 2% in Europe. In Asia-Pacifi c organic sales growth was 2%, impacted by a slow fi rst quarter in China for Fresenius Medical Care and Fresenius Kabi. In Latin America organic sales growth was 9%. In Africa, the decline in sales is mainly due to fl uctuations in the project business at Fresenius Vamed.

Adverse currency translation effects weighed on Group sales in all regions, particularly in Latin America (- 19%), Asia-Pacifi c (- 7%), Africa (- 7%) and North America (- 5%).
Group EBITDA1 was € 1,854 million (H1 / 2013: € 1,860 million) and increased by 3% in constant currency. Group EBIT 1 decreased by 3% (0% in constant currency) to € 1,403 million (H1 / 2013: € 1,448 million). Besides currency headwinds, this development is mainly attributable to the year-over-year comparison of issues at Fresenius Medical Care and Fresenius Kabi which occurred in 2013. The EBIT margin was 13.1% (H1 / 2013: 14.5%).
Group net interest was - € 283 million (H1 / 2013: - € 313 million). Improved fi nancing terms as well as favorable currency effects contributed to the decrease. In addition, H1 / 2013 net interest included € 14 million one-time costs resulting from the early redemption of a Senior Note.
The Group tax rate 1 was 29.6% and above the prior-year level (H1 / 2013: 28.5%). In Q2 / 2014, the Group tax rate was 32.4% due to a special tax effect at Fresenius Medical Care.
Noncontrolling interest was € 301 million (H1 / 2013: € 330 million), of which 94% was attributable to the noncontrolling interest in Fresenius Medical Care.
Group net income 2 increased by 1% (3% in constant currency) to € 487 million (H1 / 2013: € 482 million). Earnings per share 2 were € 2.71 (H1 / 2013: € 2.70). Group net income 2 excluding the special tax effect at Fresenius Medical Care increased by 2% (4% in constant currency).

The number of employees in the Group will continue to rise in the future as a result of the expected expansion. We expect the number of employees to be more than 210,000 in 2014. This is mainly the result of the acquisition of hospitals from Rhön-Klinikum AG. The number of employees is expected to increase in all business segments.
Our R & D activities will continue to play a key role in securing the Group's long-term growth through innovations and new therapies. We plan to increase the Group's R & D spending in 2014. About 4% to 5% of our product sales will be reinvested in research and development.
Market-oriented research and development with strict time-to-market management processes is crucial for the success of new products. We continually review our R & D results using clearly defi ned milestones. Innovative ideas, product development, and therapies with a high level of quality will continue to be the basis for future market-leading positions. Given the continued cost-containment efforts in the health care sector, cost effi ciency combined with a strong quality focus is acquiring ever-greater importance in product development, and in the improvement of treatment concepts.

The consolidated segment reporting is an integral part of the notes. The following notes are an integral part of the unaudited condensed interim fi nancial statements.
Fresenius is a global health care group with products and services for dialysis, hospitals and outpatient medical care. In addition, the Fresenius Group focuses on hospi tal operations and also manages projects and provides services for hospitals and other health care facilities worldwide. Besides the activities of the parent company Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA, Bad Homburg v. d. H., the operating activities were split into the following legally independent business segments (subgroups) as of June 30, 2014:
The reporting currency in the Fresenius Group is the euro. In order to make the presentation clearer, amounts are mostly shown in million euros. Amounts under € 1 million after rounding are marked with "–".
The accompanying condensed consolidated fi nancial statements have been prepared in accordance with the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (U.S. GAAP).
Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA, as a stock exchange listed company with a domicile in a member state of the European Union, fulfi lls its obligation to prepare and publish the consolidated fi nancial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) applying Section 315a of the German Commercial Code (HGB). Simultaneously, the Fresenius Group voluntarily prepares and publishes the consolidated fi nancial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The accounting policies underlying these interim fi nancial statements are mainly the same as those applied in the consolidated fi nancial statements as of December 31, 2013.
The condensed consolidated fi nancial statements and management report for the fi rst half and the second quarter ended June 30, 2014 have not been audited nor reviewed and should be read in conjunction with the notes included in the consolidated fi nancial statements as of December 31, 2013, published in the 2013 Annual Report.
Except for the reported acquisitions (see note 2, Acquisitions, divestitures and investments), there have been no other major changes in the entities consolidated.
The consolidated fi nancial statements for the fi rst half and the second quarter ended June 30, 2014 include all adjustments that, in the opinion of the Management Board, are of a normal and recurring nature and are necessary to provide an appropriate view of the assets and liabilities, fi nancial position and results of operations of the Fresenius Group.
The results of operations for the fi rst half ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the fi scal year 2014.
Certain items in the consolidated fi nancial statements for the fi rst half of 2013 and for the year 2013 have been reclassifi ed to conform with the current year's presentation.
The preparation of consolidated fi nancial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated fi nancial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Fresenius Group has prepared its consolidated fi nancial statements at June 30, 2014 in conformity with U.S. GAAP in force for interim periods on January 1, 2014.
The Fresenius Group applied the following standards, as far as they are relevant for Fresenius Group's business, for the fi rst time:
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-11 (ASU 2013-11), FASB Accounting Standards Codifi cation (ASC) Topic 740, Income Taxes – Presentation of an Unrecognized
Tax Benefi t When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The purpose of ASU 2013-11 is to align the fi nancial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefi t when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward exists. In most cases, the unrecognized tax benefi t should be presented as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward. The update is effective for fi scal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2013. The Fresenius Group adopted ASU 2013-11 as of January 1, 2014. ASU 2013-11 does not have a material impact on the consolidated fi nancial statements of the Fresenius Group.
In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-10 (ASU 2013-10), FASB ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging – Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes. The purpose of ASU 2013-10 is to provide the inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes. This rate will now be available to use along with the U.S. government interest rates and the London Interbank Offered Rate. This update is effective prospectively for new or designated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. Currently, the Fresenius Group does not intend to utilize the newly available Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate for its hedge accounting.
In March 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-05 (ASU 2013-05), FASB ASC Topic 830, Foreign Currency Matters – Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. The purpose of ASU 2013-05 is to provide clarifi cation and further refi nement regarding the treatment of the release of a cumulative translation adjustment into net income. This occurs in instances where the parent sells either a part or all of its investment in a foreign entity, as well as when a company ceases to hold a controlling interest in a subsidiary or group of assets that is a nonprofi t activity or business within a foreign entity. The update is effective
for fi scal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2013. The Fresenius Group adopted ASU 2013-05 as of January 1, 2014. ASU 2013-05 does not have a material impact on the consolidated fi nancial statements of the Fresenius Group.
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-04 (ASU 2013-04), FASB ASC Topic 405, Liabilities – Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for which the Total Amount of the Obligations is Fixed at the Reporting Date. ASU 2013-04's objective is to provide guidance and clarifi cation on the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements such as debt arrangements, other contractual obligations and settled litigation and judicial rulings. The update is effective for fi scal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2013. The Fresenius Group adopted ASU 2013-04 as of January 1, 2014. ASU 2013-04 does not have a material impact on the consolidated fi nancial statements of the Fresenius Group.
In July 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-06 (ASU 2011-06), FASB ASC Topic 720, Other Expenses – Fees Paid to the Federal Government by Health Insurers. The amendments in ASU 2011-06 address how health insurers should recognize and classify their income statement fees mandated by the Health Care and Educational Affordability Reconciliation Act. These amendments require that the liability for the fee be estimated and recorded in full once the entity provides qualifying health insurance in the applicable calendar year in which the fee is payable. In conjunction, the corresponding deferred cost is amortized to expense using a straight-line allocation method unless another method better allocates the fee over the entire calendar year for which it is payable. In addition, the ASU states that this fee does not meet the defi nition of an acquisition cost. The disclosures required under ASU 2011-06 are effective for calendar years beginning after December 31, 2013, when the fee initially becomes effective. The Fresenius Group adopted ASU 2011-06 effective January 1, 2014. ASU 2011-06 does not have a material impact on the consolidated fi nancial statements of the Fresenius Group.
V. RECENT PRONOUNCEMENTS, NOT YET APPLIED The FASB issued the following relevant new standards for the Fresenius Group:
In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-12 (ASU 2014-12), FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation – Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period is treated as a performance condition. The update is effective for fi scal years and interim periods within those years beginning on or after December 15, 2015. Earlier adoption is permitted. The Fresenius Group utilized and will continue to utilize the guidance updated by this ASU and as such there is no expected impact on its consolidated fi nancial statements.
In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-11 (ASU 2014-11), FASB ASC Topic 860, Transfers and Servicing – Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures, which aligns the accounting for repurchase-to-maturity transactions and repurchase fi nancing arrangements with the accounting for other typical repurchase agreements, i. e. these transactions will be accounted for as secured borrowings. ASU 2014-11 also requires additional disclosures about repurchase agreements and other similar transactions. The update is effective for fi scal years and interim periods within those years beginning on or after December 15, 2014. The Fresenius Group is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-11 on its consolidated fi nancial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09 (ASU 2014-09), FASB ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Simultaneously, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published its equivalent revenue standard, IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standards are the result of a convergence project between FASB and the IASB. This update
specifi es how and when companies reporting under U.S. GAAP will recognize revenue as well as providing users of fi nancial statements with more informative and relevant disclosures. ASU 2014-09 supersedes some guidance included in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, some guidance within the scope of Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment, and some guidance within the scope of Topic 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. This ASU applies to nearly all contracts with customers, unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards (for example, lease contracts or insurance contracts). This update is effective for fi scal years and interim periods within those years beginning on or after December 15, 2016. Earlier adoption is not permitted. The Fresenius Group is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated fi nancial statements.
In April 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-08 (ASU 2014-08), FASB ASC Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements and FASB ASC Topic 360, Property, Plant, and Equipment – Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. ASU 2014-08's objective is to reduce the complexity and diffi culty in applying guidance for discontinued operations. ASU 2014-08's main focus is to limit the presentation to disposals representing a strategic shift that has a major effect on operations or fi nancial results. The update is effective for fi scal years and interim periods within those years beginning on or after December 15, 2014. The Fresenius Group is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-08 on its consolidated fi nancial statements.
In January 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-05 (ASU 2014-05), FASB ASC Topic 853, Service Concession Arrangements. ASU 2014-05's objective is to specify that an operating entity should not account for a service concession arrangement that is within the scope of ASU 2014-05 as a lease. The update is effective for fi scal years and interim periods within those years beginning on or after December 15, 2014. The Fresenius Group is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2014-05 on its consolidated fi nancial statements.
The Fresenius Group made acquisitions and investments of € 1,216 million and € 150 million in the fi rst half of 2014 and 2013, respectively. Of this amount, € 1,043 million was paid in cash and € 173 million was assumed obligations in the fi rst half of 2014.
In the fi rst half of 2014, Fresenius Medical Care spent € 440 million on acquisitions, mainly for the purchase of dialysis clinics and the short-term investment in available for sale securities.
On June 27, 2014, Fresenius Medical Care announced the acquisition of a majority stake in Sound Inpatient Physicians, Inc., USA, a physician services organization focused on hospitalist and post-acute care services, for approximately US\$ 550 million. The transaction was closed in July 2014.
In the fi rst half of 2014, Fresenius Kabi spent € 19 million on acquisitions, mainly for the purchase of further shares in Fresenius Kabi Oncology Ltd., India.
On April 25, 2014, Fresenius Kabi announced the formation of a joint venture with the pharmaceutical company CJSC Binnopharm in Russia. The joint venture combines Fresenius Kabi's Russian and CIS business with CJSC Binnopharm. Fresenius Kabi will hold a 51% stake in the new company. The transaction is expected to close by year end 2014. On May 9, 2014 Fresenius Kabi announced the acquisition of the Brasilian pharmaceutical company Novafarma Indústria Farmacêutica Ltda. After antitrust approval, the transaction could be closed on July 3, 2014. Furthermore, on July 4, 2014, Fresenius Kabi acquired two companies in Ecuador, Medisumi, a pharmaceutical distributor, as well as Labfarm, an I.V. antibiotic manufacturer.
Fresenius Helios spent € 757 million on acquisitions in the fi rst half of 2014. Thereof, € 756 million related to the acquisition of hospitals and outpatient facilities of Rhön-Klinikum AG, Germany. Taking into account the advance payment of € 2,178 million made at the end of the year 2013 in conjunction with this acquisition, the transaction amount added up to € 2,934 million.
In connection with the acquisition of hospitals of Rhön-Klinikum AG, Fresenius Helios sold two hospitals in Borna and Zwenkau in the fi rst quarter of 2014 due to antitrust authority requirements. The corresponding book gain in the amount of € 22 million before tax is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income.
Between February 27 and June 16, 2014, Fresenius Helios completed the acquisition of 40 hospitals and 12 outpatient facilities of Rhön-Klinikum AG, Germany. In most instances, 100% of the share capital was purchased, only in a few cases 94% to 99% of the share capital was acquired. In relation to HSK Dr. Horst Schmidt Kliniken, 49% of the share capital was acquired.
The transaction strengthens Fresenius Helios' position as Europe's largest hospital operator and provides the basis for offering nationwide care models across Germany.
Due to contractual conditions, the Fresenius Group was primary benefi ciary of the majority of the acquired hospitals and outpatient facilities for the period from January 1, 2014 until the closing of the majority of the transaction on February 27, 2014. During this period, the Fresenius Group therefore fully consolidated these companies according to regulations for variable interest entities. The majority of the other acquired companies has been fully consolidated as of February 27, 2014. The HSK Dr. Horst Schmidt Kliniken that were acquired on June 16, 2014 have been consolidated since June 30, 2014.
The transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The following table summarizes the current estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition. This allocation of the purchase price is based upon the best information available to management at present. Due to the relatively short interval between the closing date of the acquisition and the date of the statement
of fi nancial position, this information may be incomplete. Any adjustments to acquisition accounting, net of related income tax effects, will be recorded with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill.
| Trade accounts receivable | 234 |
|---|---|
| Working capital and other assets | 326 |
| Assets | 1,107 |
| Liabilities | - 533 |
| Goodwill | 1,879 |
| Noncontrolling interest | - 2 |
| Consideration transferred | 3,011 |
| Net cash acquired | - 77 |
| Transaction amount | 2,934 |
The goodwill in the amount of € 1,879 million that was acquired as part of the acquisition is not deductible for tax purposes.
Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefi ts arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identifi ed and separately recognized. Goodwill arises principally due to the fair value placed on an established stream of future cash fl ows versus building a similar business.
The noncontrolling interests acquired as part of the acquisition are stated at fair value.
In the fi rst half of 2014, the acquired hospitals and outpatient facilities have contributed € 808 million to sales and € 66 million to the operating income (EBIT) of the Fresenius Group.
In addition, Fresenius Helios acquired Rhön-Klinikum AG's 265-bed hospital in Cuxhaven with sales of approximately € 40 million in 2013. The transaction was closed on July 31, 2014.
In the fi rst half of 2014, Fresenius Vamed spent € 1 million on acquisitions.
On June 30, 2014, the Fresenius Group sold the 5% stake in Rhön-Klinikum AG which was acquired in 2012 as part of the takeover offer to the shareholders of Rhön-Klinikum AG. The corresponding book gain in the amount of € 35 million before tax is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of income.
Net income attributable to shareholders of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA for the fi rst half of 2014 in the amount of € 534 million includes special items relating to the integration of Fenwal and the acquired Rhön hospitals as well as relating to the divestment of two HELIOS hospitals and of the Rhön stake.

Capital increase from company's funds (stock split 1 : 3)
On May 16, 2014, the Annual General Meeting of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA has resolved a capital increase from company's funds with issuance of new shares. For each existing non-par value share, Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA issued two new non-par value shares without additional payment to the shareholders. Accordingly, upon execution of the capital increase, both the subscribed capital of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA and the number of shares issued tripled (stock split 1 : 3).
After registration of the capital increase with the commercial register on August 1, 2014, the subscribed capital increased to € 540,511,632 (including newly created shares due to options exercised until this date). The new shares have full dividend entitlement for the fi scal year 2014. The proportionate amount of the subscribed capital will continue to be € 1.00 per share.
During the fi rst half of 2014, 297,652 stock options were exercised. Consequently, as of June 30, 2014, the subscribed capital of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA consisted of 179,992,481 bearer ordinary shares. The shares are issued as non-par value shares.
In connection with the stock split 1 : 3 described before, by resolution of the Annual General Meeting on May 16, 2014, the previous Authorized Capital I was revoked and a new Authorized Capital I with a proportionally adjusted amount and a fi ve-year term was created.
In accordance with the new provision in the articles of association of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA, the general partner, Fresenius Management SE, is authorized, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, until May 15, 2019, to increase Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA's subscribed capital by a total amount of up to € 120,960,000 through a single or multiple issues of new bearer ordinary shares against cash contributions and / or contributions in kind (Authorized Capital I).
The number of shares must increase in the same proportion as the subscribed capital. A subscription right must be granted to the shareholders in principle. In defi ned cases, the general partner is authorized, with the consent of the Supervisory Board, to decide on the exclusion of the shareholders' subscription right (e. g. to eliminate fractional amounts). For cash contributions, the authorization can only be exercised if the issue price is not signifi cantly below the stock exchange price of the already listed shares at the time the issue price is fi xed with fi nal effect by the general partner. Furthermore, in case of a capital increase against cash contributions, the proportionate amount of the shares issued with exclusion of subscription rights may not exceed 10% of the subscribed capital. An exclusion of subscription rights in the context of the
use of other authorizations concerning the issuance or the sale of the shares of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA or the issuance of rights which authorize or bind to the subscription of shares of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA has to be taken into consideration during the duration of the Authorized Capital until its utilization. In the case of a subscription in kind, the subscription right can be excluded only in order to acquire a company, parts of a company or a participation in a company.
The authorizations granted concerning the exclusion of subscription rights can be used by Fresenius Management SE only to such extent that the proportional amount of the total number of shares issued with exclusion of the subscription rights does not exceed 20% of the subscribed capital. An exclusion of subscription rights in the context of the use of other authorizations concerning the issuance or the sale of the shares of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA or the issuance of rights which authorize or bind to the subscription of shares of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA has to be taken into consideration during the duration of the Authorized Capital until its utilization.
The changes to the Authorized Capital I became effective upon registration with the commercial register on August 1, 2014.

KGaA: Conditional Capital I (Stock Option Plan 2003), Conditional Capital II (Stock Option Plan 2008) and Conditional Capital IV (Stock Option Plan 2013) (see note 24, Stock options).
Due to the stock split 1 : 3, Conditional Capitals I, II and IV increase, by operation of law, in the same proportion as the subscribed capital.

Option bearer bonds and convertible bonds The previous authorization to issue option bearer bonds and / or convertible bonds (Conditional Capital III) dated May 11, 2012 was revoked by resolution of the Annual General Meeting of Fresenius SE & Co. KGaA on May 16, 2014. In line with the stock split 1 : 3, the same Annual General Meeting approved a new Conditional Capital III with a proportionally adjusted amount and a fi ve-year term. The new Conditional Capital III became effective upon registration with the commercial register on August 1, 2014.

The Fresenius Group is routinely involved in numerous claims, lawsuits, regulatory and tax audits, investigations and other legal matters arising, for the most part, in the ordinary course of its business of providing health care services and products. Legal matters that the Fresenius Group currently deems to be material are described below. For the matters described below in which the Fresenius Group believes a loss is both reasonably possible and estimable, an estimate of the loss or range of loss exposure is provided. For the other matters described below, the Fresenius Group believes that the loss probability is remote and / or the loss or range of possible losses cannot be reasonably estimated at this time. The outcome of litigation and other legal matters is always diffi cult to predict accurately and outcomes that are not consistent with Fresenius Group's view of the merits can occur. The Fresenius Group believes that it has valid defenses to the legal matters pending against it and is defending itself vigorously. Nevertheless, it is possible that the resolution of one or more of the legal matters currently pending or threatened could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and fi nancial condition.
Further information regarding legal disputes, court proceedings and investigations can be found in detail in the consolidated fi nancial statements in the 2013 Annual Report. In the following, only the changes during the fi rst half ended June 30, 2014 compared to the information provided in the consolidated fi nancial statements are described. These changes should be read in conjunction with the overall information in the consolidated fi nancial statements in the 2013 Annual Report; defi ned terms or abbreviations having the same meaning as in the 2013 Annual Report.
On February 3, 2014, the Court of Appeals dismissed the last of the appeals of the District Court order confi rming the plan of reorganization, and the Grace Bankruptcy Plan went effective on that date. Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement and the Grace Bankruptcy Plan, all actions asserting fraudulent conveyance and other claims raised on behalf of asbestos claimants were dismissed with prejudice and Fresenius Medical Care received protection against existing and potential future W.R. Grace & Co. related claims, including fraudulent conveyance and asbestos claims by operation of injunctions and releases and Fresenius Medical Care also received indemnifi cation against income tax claims related to the non-NMC members of the W.R. Grace & Co. consolidated tax group. Also, pursuant to the Settlement Agreement on February 3, 2014, Fresenius Medical Care paid a total of US\$ 115 million, which had previously been accrued and is included on Fresenius Group's consolidated statement of fi nancial position, to the asbestos personal injury and property damage trusts created under the Grace Bankruptcy Plan. No admission of liability was made.
On March 5, 2014, Baxter petitioned the United States Supreme Court to review the decisions of the Federal Circuit. On May 19, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court denied Baxter's petition and let stand the Federal Circuit's order dismissing the case.
In addition, similar cases have been fi led in state courts outside Massachusetts, in some of which the judicial authorities have established consolidated proceedings for their disposition.
Fresenius Medical Care has received communications alleging conduct in countries outside the U.S. and Germany that may violate the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) or other anti-bribery laws. The Audit and Corporate Governance Committee of Fresenius Medical Care's Supervisory Board is conducting an investigation with the assistance of
independent counsel. Fresenius Medical Care voluntarily advised the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ). Fresenius Medical Care's investigation and dialogue with the SEC and DOJ are ongoing. Fresenius Medical Care has received a subpoena from the SEC requesting additional documents and a request from the DOJ for copies of the documents provided to the SEC. Fresenius Medical Care is cooperating with the requests.
Conduct has been identifi ed that may result in monetary penalties or other sanctions under the FCPA or other antibribery laws. In addition, Fresenius Medical Care's ability to conduct business in certain jurisdictions could be negatively impacted. Fresenius Medical Care has previously recorded a non-material accrual for an identifi ed matter. Given the current status of the investigations and remediation activities, Fresenius Medical Care cannot reasonably estimate the range of possible loss that may result from identifi ed matters or from the fi nal outcome of the investigations or remediation activities.
Fresenius Medical Care's independent counsel, in conjunction with Fresenius Medical Care's Compliance Department, have reviewed Fresenius Medical Care's anti-corruption compliance program, including internal controls related to compliance with international anti-bribery laws, and appropriate enhancements are being implemented. Fresenius Medical Care is fully committed to FCPA compliance.
On June 13, 2014, the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China (MOFCOM) launched an anti-dumping investigation into producers of hemodialysis equipment in the European Union and Japan, which includes certain of the Fresenius Medical Care's subsidiaries. Fresenius Medical Care intends to cooperate in this investigation.
The Fresenius Group regularly analyzes current information including, as applicable, Fresenius Group's defenses and insurance coverage and, as necessary, provides accruals for probable liabilities for the eventual disposition of these matters.
The Fresenius Group, like other health care providers, conducts its operations under intense government regulation and scrutiny. It must comply with regulations which relate to or govern the safety and effi cacy of medical products and supplies, the marketing and distribution of such products, the operation of manufacturing facilities, laboratories and dialysis clinics, and environmental and occupational health and safety. With respect to its development, manufacture, marketing and distribution of medical products, if such compliance is not maintained, the Fresenius Group could be subject to signifi cant adverse regulatory actions by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and comparable regulatory authorities outside the U.S. These regulatory actions could include warning letters or other enforcement notices from the FDA and / or comparable foreign regulatory authority, which may require the Fresenius Group to expend signifi cant time and resources in order to implement appropriate corrective actions. If the Fresenius Group does not address matters raised in warning letters or other enforcement notices to the satisfaction of the FDA and / or comparable regulatory authorities outside the U.S., these regulatory authorities could take additional actions, including product recalls, injunctions against the distribution of products or operation of manufacturing plants, civil penalties, seizures of Fresenius Group's products, and / or criminal prosecution. FMCH is currently engaged in remediation efforts with respect to three pending FDA warning letters, Fresenius Kabi with respect to two pending FDA warning letters. The Fresenius Group must also comply with the laws of the United States, including the federal Anti-Kickback Statute, the federal False Claims Act, the federal Stark Law and the federal Foreign Corrupt Practices Act as well as other federal and state fraud and abuse laws. Applicable laws or regulations may be amended, or enforcement agencies or courts may make interpretations that differ from Fresenius Group's interpretations or the manner in which it conducts its business. Enforcement has become a high priority for the federal government and some states. In
addition, the provisions of the False Claims Act authorizing payment of a portion of any recovery to the party bringing the suit encourage private plaintiffs to commence "qui tam" or "whistle blower" actions. By virtue of this regulatory environment, Fresenius Group's business activities and practices are subject to extensive review by regulatory authorities and
private parties, and continuing audits, subpoenas, other inquiries, claims and litigation relating to Fresenius Group's compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Fresenius Group may not always be aware that an inquiry or action has begun, particularly in the case of "whistle blower" actions, which are initially fi led under court seal.
The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values as well as the fair value hierarchy levels of Fresenius Group's fi nancial instruments as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, classifi ed into classes:
| June 30, 2014 | Dec. 31, 2013 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| € in millions | Fair value hierarchy level |
Carrying amount |
Fair value | Carrying amount |
Fair value |
| Cash and cash equivalents | 1 | 1,070 | 1,070 | 864 | 864 |
| Assets recognized at carrying amount | 3 | 4,090 | 4,101 | 3,622 | 3,629 |
| Assets recognized at fair value | 1 | 124 | 124 | 197 | 197 |

| Derivatives for hedging purposes | 2 | 46 | 46 | 10 | 10 |
The signifi cant methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair values of fi nancial instruments as well as classifi cation of fair value measurements according to the three-tier fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Cash and cash equivalents are stated at nominal value, which equals the fair value.
The nominal value of short-term fi nancial instruments such as accounts receivable and payable and short-term debt represents its carrying amount, which is a reasonable estimate of the fair value due to the relatively short period to maturity for these instruments.
The fair values of major long-term fi nancial instruments are calculated on the basis of market information. Financial instruments for which market quotes are available are measured with the market quotes at the reporting date. The fair values of the other long-term fi nancial liabilities are calculated at the present value of respective future cash fl ows. To determine these present values, the prevailing interest rates and credit spreads for the Fresenius Group as of the date of the statement of fi nancial position are used.
The class assets recognized at carrying amount consists of trade accounts receivable and a loan which Fresenius Medical Care granted to a middle-market dialysis provider. The fair value of the loan is based on signifi cant unobservable inputs of comparable instruments and thus the class is classifi ed as fair value hierarchy Level 3.
The class assets recognized at fair value is comprised of European government bonds, shares and shares in funds. The fair values of these assets are calculated on the basis of market information. Therefore, this class is classifi ed as Level 1.
The class liabilities recognized at carrying amount is classifi ed as hierarchy Level 2.
The derivative embedded in the convertible bonds is included in the class liabilities recognized at fair value. The fair value of this derivative is derived from market quotes. The class was classifi ed as Level 2.
The valuation of the class noncontrolling interest subject to put provisions recognized at fair value is determined using signifi cant unobservable inputs. It is therefore classifi ed as Level 3.
Derivatives, mainly consisting of interest rate swaps and foreign exchange forward contracts, are valued as follows: The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated by discounting the future cash fl ows on the basis of the market interest rates applicable for the remaining term of the contract as of the date of the statement of fi nancial position. To determine the fair value of foreign exchange forward contracts, the contracted forward rate is compared to the current forward rate for the remaining term of the contract as of the date of the statement of fi nancial position. The result is then discounted on the basis of the market interest rates prevailing at the date of the statement of fi nancial position for the respective currency.
Fresenius Group's own credit risk is incorporated in the fair value estimation of derivatives that are liabilities. Counterparty credit risk adjustments are factored into the valuation of derivatives that are assets. The Fresenius Group monitors and analyses the credit risk from derivative fi nancial instruments on a regular basis. For the valuation of derivative
fi nancial instruments, the credit risk is considered in the fair value of every individual instrument. The basis for the default probability are Credit Default Swap Spreads of each counterparty appropriate for the duration. The calculation of the credit risk considered in the valuation is done by multiplying the default probability appropriate for the duration with the expected discounted cash fl ows of the derivative fi nancial instrument.
In the class derivatives for hedging purposes, stock options are included to secure the convertible bonds. The fair values of these stock options are derived from market quotes. For the fair value measurement of the class derivatives for hedging purposes, signifi cant other observable inputs are used. Therefore, the class is classifi ed as Level 2 in accordance with the defi ned fair value hierarchy levels.
Currently, there is no indication that a decrease in the value of Fresenius Group's fi nancing receivables is probable. Therefore, the allowances on credit losses of fi nancing receivables are immaterial.

Derivatives designated as hedging instruments, foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments and stock options to secure the convertible bonds are classifi ed as derivatives for hedging purposes.
Derivative fi nancial instruments are marked to market each reporting period, resulting in carrying amounts equal to fair values at the reporting date.
Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments, which are derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting, are also solely entered into to hedge economic business transactions and not for speculative purposes.
Derivatives for hedging purposes as well as the derivative embedded in the convertible bonds were recognized at gross value within other assets in an amount of € 68 million and other liabilities in an amount of € 82 million.
The current portion of interest rate contracts and foreign exchange contracts indicated as assets in the preceding table is recognized within other current assets in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position, while the current portion of those indicated as liabilities is included in short-term accrued expenses and other short-term liabilities. The non-current portions indicated as assets or liabilities are recognized in other non-current assets or in long-term accrued expenses and other long-term liabilities, respectively. The derivative embedded in the convertible bonds and the stock options to secure the convertible bonds are recognized in other non-current liabilities / assets in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position.

Gains from derivatives in fair value hedging relationships and from foreign exchange contracts not designated as hedging instruments recognized in the consolidated statement of income are faced by losses from the underlying transactions in the corresponding amount.
The Fresenius Group expects to recognize a net amount of € 1 million of the existing losses for foreign exchange contracts deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated statement of income within the next 12 months. For interest rate contracts, the Fresenius Group expects to recognize € 32 million of losses in the course of normal business during the next 12 months in interest expense.
Gains and losses from foreign exchange contracts and the corresponding underlying transactions are accounted for as cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses and net interest. Gains and losses resulting from interest rate contracts are recognized as net interest in the consolidated statement of income.
The Fresenius Group is exposed to effects related to foreign exchange fl uctuations in connection with its international business activities that are denominated in various currencies. In order to fi nance its business operations, the Fresenius Group issues senior notes and commercial papers and enters into mainly long-term credit agreements and euro notes (Schuld scheindarlehen) with banks. Due to these fi nancing activities, the Fresenius Group is exposed to interest risk caused by changes in variable interest rates and the risk of changes in the fair value of statement of fi nancial position items bearing fi xed interest rates.
In order to manage the risk of interest rate and foreign exchange rate fl uctuations, the Fresenius Group enters into certain hedging transactions with highly rated fi nancial institutions as authorized by the Management Board. Derivative fi nancial instruments are not entered into for trading purposes.
The Fresenius Group defi nes benchmarks for individual exposures in order to quantify interest and foreign exchange risks. The benchmarks are derived from achievable and sustainable market rates. Depending on the individual benchmarks, hedging strategies are determined and generally implemented by means of micro hedges.
Securities, which are predominantly held as European government bonds and shares in funds, are generally subject to the risk of changing stock exchange prices. Therefore, the stock exchange prices of these securities are continuously monitored to identify possible price risks on time.
To reduce the credit risk arising from derivatives, the Fresenius Group concluded master netting agreements with banks. Through such agreements, positive and negative fair values of the derivative contracts could be offset against one another
if a partner becomes insolvent. This offsetting is valid for transactions where the aggregate amount of obligations owed to and receivable from are not equal. If insolvency occurs, the party which owes the larger amount is obliged to pay the other party the difference between the amounts owed in the form of one net payment.
Fresenius elects not to offset the fair values of derivative fi nancial instruments subject to master netting agreements in the consolidated statement of fi nancial position.
At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Fresenius Group had € 8 million and € 29 million of derivative fi nancial assets subject to netting arrangements and € 21 million and € 22 million of derivative fi nancial liabilities subject to netting arrangements. Offsetting these derivative fi nancial instruments would have resulted in net assets of € 4 million and € 22 million as well as net liabilities of € 17 million and € 15 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
Solely for the purpose of hedging existing and foreseeable foreign exchange transaction exposures, the Fresenius Group enters into foreign exchange forward contracts and, on a small scale, foreign exchange options. To ensure that no foreign exchange risks result from loans in foreign currencies, the Fresenius Group enters into foreign exchange swap contracts.
As of June 30, 2014, the notional amounts of foreign exchange contracts totaled € 1,472 million.
