LETTER FROM THE BOARD

2. POSSIBLE EXERCISE OF THE CALL OPTIONS

The principal terms of the each of the Call Options are summarised as follow:

(a) KION Call Option

Parties

  • : Superlift and KMB as grantor and Weichai Lux (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) as grantee.

Option shares

  • : Weichai Lux is entitled to require that Superlift and KMB pass the relevant shareholders resolution so that KION issues new shares, such that Weichai Lux’s shareholding in KION would be increased to:

    • (i) 33.3% of KION’s total issued shares immediately after the completion of the IPO, if, prior to the allotment of KION shares to the investors of the IPO, Weichai Lux owns 28.3% or more of the total issued share capital of KION as a result of the exercise and completion of the Superlift Call Option; or

    • (ii) 30% of KION’s total issued shares immediately after completion of the IPO, if, prior to the allotment of KION shares to the investors of the IPO, Weichai Lux owns less than 28.3% of the total issued share capital of KION.

  • Exercise period : The KION Call Option has to be exercised by Weichai Lux, at the latest, within five (5) Business Days after the underwriters of KION provides Weichai Lux with a preliminary estimate of the likely price range for the IPO.

– 8 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Exercise price

: The exercise price equals to the lower of (i) a price per share determined on the basis of EUR467,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$4,705,025,000, as the consideration paid for under the subscription of 25% of the issued shares in KION pursuant to the Acquisitions) plus any future capital contributions made by the shareholders of KION after the date of completion of the Acquisitions (the “ Acquisition Valuation ”), and (ii) the price per share of KION under the IPO. For the avoidance of doubt, no dividends or distributions made by KION are required to be deducted from the exercise price of the KION Call Option, unlike the determination of the exercise price of Superlift Call Option.

If Weichai Lux exercises the KION Call Option, the issue price for the new KION shares shall be settled by Weichai Lux in cash. A portion equal to the nominal amount of the shares (being EUR1.00 per share) shall be paid to KION, whereas the additional (preliminary) issue price shall be paid into an escrow account and be released to KION in an amount equal to the final issue price (minus the nominal amount of the shares already paid to KION). The additional (preliminary) issue price is equal to the amount of the lower of (i) the Acquisition Valuation; and (ii) the highest price of the estimated price range for the IPO provided by the underwriters of KION, less the nominal amount of the shares which shall be paid to KION by Weichai Lux. This additional (preliminary) price will be determined when the underwriters of KION have completed the pre-marketing by the underwriters on the basis of the published analyst reports. The final issue price is the offer price per share of KION under the IPO, which, as set out in the section headed “3. The potential IPO of KION” below, has not yet been determined and it will only be made available at a later stage and shortly before the occurrence of the IPO. Any difference between the estimated issue price and the final issue price shall be settled by Weichai Lux no later than five Business Days after such final issue price has been determined. If the estimated issue price which Weichai Lux has actually paid prior to the IPO is greater than the final issue price, the excess amount will be refunded to Weichai Lux through an escrow account established for purpose of holding such additional (preliminary) issue price.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The exercise price was determined after arm’s length commercial negotiations between the parties to the Framework Agreement based on the initial investment price for the Acquisitions.

With respect to the process on the negotiation and determination of the consideration for the Acquisitions, after arm’s length commercial negotiations based on publicly available information, the Company and KION based their further negotiation process on a preliminary initial price for the Acquisitions. Subsequently, KION provided information to the Company and its advisory team, including financial adviser, accounting and tax adviser, industry consultant and legal advisers, to conduct further due diligence.

A combination of factors were considered when assessing the initial price for the investments in KION, including:

  • (a) a review of the business performance of KION;

  • (b) an evaluation of the trends of the forklift truck industry;

  • (c) an evaluation of the scale, sales and production capabilities, products, technologies and brands of KION and benchmarking against its industry peers;

  • (d) an evaluation of strategic benefits that may arise from the strategic collaboration between the Company and KION; and

– 10 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • (e) comparable analyses by the Company’s financial adviser, including:

  • (i) a review of the then current and historical market trading multiples of comparable companies in the forklift truck industry; and

  • (ii) a review of the transaction multiples of comparable precedents involving forklift truck companies.

Based on the above analyses, the initial price was considered within the range acceptable for further negotiation. The Company continued to further negotiate with KION and managed to lower the consideration for the Acquisitions further.

Based on the factors above, the Board approved the Acquisitions on 31 August 2012 and considered the amount of the consideration to be fair and reasonable and in the interest of the Shareholders as a whole.

  • Conditions : The KION Call Option shall be exercisable subject to the occurence of the IPO after the satisfaction of the following conditions:

  • (i) the Company obtaining all necessary PRC governmental approval for implementing the exercise of the KION Call Option; and

  • (ii) the necessary approval in relation to the exercise of the KION Call Option being granted by the Shareholders.

(b) Superlift Call Option

  • Parties : Superlift as grantor and Weichai Lux (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) as grantee.

  • Option shares : Weichai Lux is entitled to purchase from Superlift such amount of shares of KION representing 3.3% of KION’s issued share capital at the time of the exercise.

– 11 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

  • Exercise period : The Superlift Call Option is exercisable by Weichai Lux (i) at any time after 27 December 2012, being the date of completion of the Acquisitions, until 30 June 2013 or (ii) during any time within the three months after the completion of the IPO. The Superlift Call Option shall expire in any event at the end of 31 December 2015, if it has not been exercised and completed before that date. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the IPO structure is yet to be determined as set out in the section headed “5. Authorisation from the Shareholders’ general meeting to the Board in connection with the exercise of the Call Options”, accordingly the Company has no intention to exercise the Superlift Call Option on or before 30 June 2013.

  • Exercise price : The exercise price equals to the sum of (i) EUR61,644,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$621,063,300); and (ii) the pro-rata portion of the aggregate amount of any additional capital contribution, made to KION after the date of completion of the Acquisitions and up to the date of completion of the Superlift Call Option (“ Additional Contributions ”); and (iii) deducting therefrom the pro-rata portion of the aggregate amount of dividends or other distributions made by KION to its shareholders after the date of the completion of the Acquisitions and up to the date of exercise of the Superlift Call Option (“ Post Completion Distributions ”).

If Weichai Lux exercises the Superlift Call Option, the exercise price shall be settled by Weichai Lux in cash and the settlement shall occur after all requisite conditions precedent (as set out in the sub-paragraph headed “Conditions precedent” below) are met. The closing shall be subject to a long-stop period of three months after the date of the relevant sale and transfer agreement which has to be concluded between Superlift and Weichai Lux within one month following the exercise of the Superlift Call Option. The period of four months in total is the estimated maximum period required for entering into a sale and transfer agreement in respect of the KION shares and completion of the conditions precedent thereto in connection with the exercise of the Superlift Call Option.

– 12 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

The exercise price was determined after arm’s length commercial negotiations between the parties to the Framework Agreement and the KION Shareholders’ Agreement based on the initial investment price for the Acquisitions. Further details of the negotiation and determination of the consideration for the Acquisitions are set out in the section headed “2. Possible exercise of the Call Options – (a) KION Call Option – Exercise price” above.

  • Conditions precedent

  • : Pursuant to the KION Shareholders’ Agreement, the exercise of the Superlift Call Option is conditional upon the satisfaction (or where permitted under applicable law waiver) of the following conditions:

  • (i) the Company obtaining all necessary merger control clearances with regard to the acquisition of further shares in KION;

  • (ii) the Company obtaining clearance under the German Foreign Trade Regulation, if necessary;

  • (iii) the Company obtaining all necessary PRC governmental approval for the acquisition of further shares in KION through the exercise of the Superlift Call Option;

  • (iv) the necessary approval in relation to the acquisition of further shares in KION through the exercise of the Superlift Call Option being granted by the Shareholders; and

  • (v) there being no injunction or other court order or governmental order in a member state of the European Union, the United States and Switzerland prohibiting the acquisition of further shares in KION by Weichai Lux.

The KION Call Option and the Superlift Call Option are not inter-conditional of each other and they are not required to be completed in a particular sequence. The KION Call Option may be exercised in connection with an IPO whenever this occurs and it cannot be exercised if there is no IPO. The Superlift Call Option is different. It can be exercised if there is no IPO until 30 June 2013, and if there is an IPO, within three months following such IPO provided that it will expire on 31 December 2015.

Pursuant to the KION Shareholders’ Agreement, in the event that Weichai Lux shall, upon the exercise of the KION Call Option and/or the Superlift Call Option, hold at least 33.3% of the issued share capital of KION after the completion of the IPO, and either

– 13 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Superlift or Weichai Lux desires to transfer any of its KION shares, the other relevant shareholder will be entitled to exercise a right of first offer to purchase such shares. Further, the parties under the KION Shareholders’ Agreement agreed that if following the completion of the IPO, Weichai Lux holds at least 33.3% of the issued share capital of KION, they will support, within the given legal framework, the election of a member of the supervisory board designated by Weichai Lux to become the chairman of the supervisory board of KION. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the KION Shareholders’ Agreement, as soon as Weichai Lux holds 30% or more of the shares in KION, the parties shall take, within the given legal framework, all actions in order to ensure that two out of six shareholder representatives of the supervisory board of KION (the supervisory board consists of twelve members, six of them being shareholder representatives and six of them being employee representatives) are members who are nominated by Weichai Lux.

The German stock corporation has a mandatory two-tier board system: The management board ( Vorstand ) is the executive body in charge of the actual management of the company, whereas the supervisory board’s ( Aufsichtsrat ) powers are limited to supervisory functions, which include, in addition to certain approval requirements, as set out below, reporting and consultation rights vis-à-vis the management board.

The supervisory board will appoint the members of the management board and may revoke an appointment, but only for cause (e.g. in case of material breach by a member of the management board of its duties). The supervisory board shall be in charge of the supervision of the management board of KION, and major business decisions (including business combinations, spin-offs, mergers, sale of all or substantial assets, change in the legal from, etc) shall require the prior consent of the supervisory board. In addition to matters reserved for supervisory board approval under the rules of procedure for the management board, the supervisory board may specify further matters that are subject to its approval (provided that they relate to material transactions or other matters outside the normal business). On the other hand, the supervisory board has no right to interfere with the normal day to day business of the corporation or to give specific directions to the management board.

The chairman of supervisory board shall convene and chair the meetings of the supervisory board. The chairman also has an important role in coordinating the work of the supervisory board and its committees and is the primary contact person for the management board. Further, the chairman has a casting vote in the event of a tie. This may be important also because under the German employee co-determination system half of the supervisory board’s members are employee representatives.

3. THE POTENTIAL IPO OF KION

Insofar as the Company is aware, KION may consider doing an offering and applying for the listing of its shares on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. The terms or structure of the potential IPO (including the timing, the offer size, the number of new shares to be issued by KION and the offer price of the IPO) are yet to be determined.

Immediately prior to the potential IPO, KION and Superlift Funding will implement the Capitalisation of the Superlift Funding Loan at a price per share of KION which is based on the

– 14 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Acquisition Valuation. The Capitalisation of the Superlift Funding Loan will be made at the beginning of the offer period for the IPO and, in case the KION Call Option is exercised, the issuance of the option shares to Weichai Lux by KION will occur shortly thereafter at the end of the offer period for the IPO.

The Superlift Funding Loan is a loan in the principal amount of EUR100 million under a syndicated senior facilities agreement which Superlift Funding, an affiliate of Superlift, as lender has made available to the KION Group in October 2009. These funds in turn had been advanced as a loan from Superlift to Superlift Funding. The interest on the Superlift Funding Loan is payable at maturity and is compounding at a rate of 3.75% plus EURIBOR per annum. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the aggregate amount outstanding for the Superlift Funding Loan, including accrued and unpaid interest, amounted to approximately EUR117 million.

4. INFORMATION ON KION, SUPERLIFT AND KMB

(a) KION

Insofar as the Company is aware, KION is the holding company of the KION Group. The KION Group, comprising of various entities which carry business under six brands, namely Linde, STILL, Fenwick, OM STILL, Baoli and Voltas, is the largest manufacturer of industrial trucks in Europe and the second largest manufacturer globally by revenue and units. In China, the KION Group is a leading international supplier. The Linde and STILL brands serve the premium segment worldwide. Fenwick is the largest supplier of material-handling products in France, while OM STILL is a market leader in Italy. The Baoli brand focuses on the economy segment, in particular in China and other emerging markets, and Voltas is one of the two market leaders in India.

As of the Latest Practicable Date, as KION held more than 10% of the fixed partnership capital in LHY Co (an indirect non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company), KION is a connected person (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company. To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, save for their respective direct or indirect interest in KION, the other ultimate beneficial owners of KION are third parties independent of and are not connected persons (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company.

Set out below is the audited financial information of KION for the two financial years ended 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2012 prepared based on IFRS:

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Based on the audited consolidated financial information of KION prepared based on IFRS, as of 31 December 2012, the audited net asset value of KION was approximately EUR660 million.

(b) Superlift and KMB

Insofar as the Company is aware, Superlift is an investment holding company incorporated in Luxemburg and is 100% owned by funds advised by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. and Goldman, Sachs & Co. Superlift holds 69.29% of the issued share capital of KION as at the Latest Practicable Date; and KMB is an investment holding partnership established in Germany and holds 5.71% of the issued share capital of KION as at the Latest Practicable Date.

To the best of the Directors’ knowledge, information and belief, having made all reasonable enquiries, as of the Latest Practicable Date, Superlift and KMB and their respective ultimate beneficial owners are third parties independent of and are not connected persons (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company.

5. AUTHORISATION FROM THE SHAREHOLDERS’ GENERAL MEETING TO THE BOARD IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXERCISE OF THE CALL OPTIONS

As at the Latest Practicable Date, no decision has been made as to whether the KION Call Option or the Superlift Call Option will be exercised and any such decision is a matter for the Board to deliberate. Shareholders should note, however, that the exercise periods of both Call Options are largely dependent on the progress of the IPO, in particular, the KION Call Option will lapse at the completion of the IPO. As the structure of the IPO (including the timing, the offer size, the number of new shares to be issued by KION and the offer price of the IPO) are yet to be determined and a concrete and definite structure of the IPO will only be made available at a later stage and shortly before the occurrence of the IPO, the exercise period in practice is relatively short and therefore it will not be feasible to seek and obtain Shareholders’ approval for the exercise of the Call Options after a decision to exercise the Call Options has been made by the Board.

In addition, the actual exercise price of the Call Options can only be determined once the economic parameters of the IPO (in particular (i) the IPO price and (ii) the number of new shares to be issued by KION immediately before the IPO for the Capitalisaton of the Superlift Funding Loan and for raising new capital in the IPO) are finalised. The issue of such new shares by KION for both the Capitalisation of the Superlift Funding Loan and the raising of new capital in the IPO may have a dilution effect on the Company’s existing shareholding interest in KION. Up to the Latest Practicable Date, other than the proposed Capitalisation of the Superlift Funding Loan, as far as the Company is aware, none of the existing shareholders of KION made or planned to make any future capital contributions in respect of KION and no Additional Contributions and Post Completion Distributions were made or planned to be made. Accordingly, the exercise of the Call Options will involve the Company acquiring more shares of KION (as compared to the situation where the Call Options are exercised under the existing shareholding structure without any dilution effect from the Capitalisation of the Superlift Funding Loan and the raising of new capital in the IPO) in order for the Company to reach the intended shareholding interest in KION of 33.3% on a fully diluted basis. Based on the

– 16 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

calculations made by the Company and the information obtained by the Company from KION about the currently envisaged Capitalisation of the Superlift Funding Loan, the reduction of the financial indebtedness of the KION Group in the course of the IPO or the increase of the share capital of KION through the issuance of new shares to investors in the course of the IPO, the Board came to the conclusion that Weichai Lux may have to pay up to EUR400,000,000 to increase its shareholding interest in KION to 33.3% of the shares in KION post IPO. This amount is estimated on the basis of the maximum amount payable by Weichai Lux per share in KION under the terms of the KION Call Option and the Superlift Call Option and taking into consideration the potential dilution effect that KION’s potential capital increase in an IPO may have on Weichai Lux’s shareholding interest in KION. However, since the number of new shares to be issued by KION for the Capitalisation of the Superlift Funding Loan, the final amount of equity to be raised by KION in connection with the IPO to reduce its financial indebtedness and the offer price achieved in the IPO are not known yet, the actual required amount for Weichai Lux to exercise its options could be different from the proposed maximum aggregate investment amount. In view of the above, the Company is seeking Shareholders’ approval for a maximum aggregate investment amount for the exercise of the KION Call Option and the Superlift Call Option of EUR400,000,000 (equivalent to approximately HK$4,030,000,000) (the “ Cap Amount ”) to allow the Board flexibility in dealing with the exercise of the Call Options at a time when many of the unknown or uncertain factors at present become known to the Board. Shareholders should note that the Cap Amount is only the maximum aggregate investment amount and the Company may not need to pay the full Cap Amount upon the exercise of the Call Options. The consideration payable by Weichai Lux in respect of the proposed exercise of the Call Options will be settled in cash and it is expected that this will be funded out of the Group’s financial resources and/or borrowings. The proportion of the financial resources and borrowings that will be used to fund the consideration payable by Weichai Lux upon the exercise of the relevant Call Option(s) will depend on (i) the timing of the exercise of the relevant Call Option(s); (ii) the financial resources of the Group available at the time of the exercise of the relevant Call Option(s); and (iii) the Group’s plan at the time of the exercise of the relevant Call Option(s) on deploying its resources having considered the then relevant borrowing costs.

In light of the above, the Company will only convene the necessary Board meeting at a later stage of the IPO to determine if any of the Call Options will be exercised. The economic parameters of the IPO (in particular (i) the IPO price; and (ii) the number of new shares to be issued by KION immediately before the IPO for the Capitalisaton of the Superlift Funding Loan and for raising new capital in the IPO), the macro-economic conditions, the outlook of the forklift truck industry and the business performance of KION will be considered by the Board on exercising the Call Options. In order to allow the Board to have the flexibility in exercising the Call Options (should they decide to do so), the Company proposes to ask its Shareholders to approve in advance the possible exercise of the Call Options with the aggregate of the exercise price of the Call Options not exceeding the Cap Amount and to authorise the Board to exercise the full power to handle matters relating to the exercise of the Call Options. In light of current market conditions and continued market volatility, it is not possible to determine with certainty the anticipated timetable of KION’s potential IPO. In order to provide KION with maximum flexibility to seize the right market opportunity for launching its IPO, whilst recognising the importance of not prejudicing the interests of the Shareholders by asking them to approve the authorisation to the Board to exercise the Call Options for an indefinite period, the Company proposes that such authorisation to the Board shall be valid for a period of 18 months after the relevant resolution is approved at the EGM. The 18-month period is considered by the Board to be a reasonable period within which KION can seek the desired market window for launching its IPO.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

As the exercise of the Call Options is subject to the decision of the Board and the satisfaction (or waiver) of certain conditions, the Call Options may or may not be exercised. Accordingly, Shareholders and potential investors are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Shares.

Shareholders will be informed, by way of an announcement to be published by the Company on the Company’s website and the Stock Exchange’s website, if the Board approves any action in relation to the exercise of the Call Options. Details including the relevant Board resolution, the relevant factors considered by the Board on exercising the Call Options, the consideration payable by Weichai Lux and the structure of the IPO (where applicable) will be disclosed in such announcement in the event that the Board decides to exercise the Call Options.

6. REASONS FOR THE EXERCISE OF THE CALL OPTIONS

The Group is principally engaged in the research and development, manufacture and sale of high-speed heavy-duty diesel engines, diesel engines for use in construction machinery, heavy-duty trucks, heavy-duty gearboxes and engine and heavy-duty truck parts and components.

As set out above, the Company (through its wholly owned subsidiary, Weichai Lux) was, as at the Latest Practicable Date, holder of 25% of the issued share capital of KION. The exercise of the Call Options will enable the Company to increase its shareholding in KION to 33.3% after completion of the IPO. Weichai Lux will, within the given legal framework, be entitled to request that two persons nominated by Weichai Lux will become board members of the supervisory board if Weichai Lux holds at least 30% of the issued share capital of KION. Furthermore, if following the completion of the IPO, Weichai Lux holds at least 33.3% of the issued share capital of KION and either Superlift or Weichai Lux desires to transfer any of its KION shares, the other relevant shareholder will be entitled to exercise a right of first offer to purchase such shares. In addition, the parties under the KION Shareholders’ Agreement agreed that if following the completion of the IPO, Weichai Lux holds at least 33.3% of the issued share capital of KION, they will support within the given legal framework the election of a member of the supervisory board designated by Weichai Lux to become the chairman of the supervisory board of KION. If Weichai Lux holds at least 30% of the issued share capital of KION immediately before the IPO, it will under applicable German law also be able to increase its shareholding thereafter without being obliged to make a mandatory offer to all shareholders of KION to acquire their shares.

In 2012, the KION Group experienced sustained demand for new trucks and service offerings, and the increased capacity utilization levels of industrial trucks in its key markets accelerated the replacement cycle for its customers and had a positive impact on the volume of replacement investments and demand for service offerings. This demand resulted in an increase of order intake which positively impacted its revenue. KION’s revenue grew by 8%, or EUR359 million, to EUR4,727 million for the year ended 31 December 2012. During 2012, KION also generated a positive net profit as well as operating cash flow as compared to the loss suffered by KION for the years ended 31 December 2010 and 2011, which demonstrated an improved business prospect of KION. In addition, even though the net liabilities of KION as of 31 December 2011 was approximately EUR487.6 million, the Board considers that such net liabilities position of KION was mainly due to the existence of an outstanding shareholders’

– 18 –

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

loan and which has been converted into equity of KION in December 2012. As of 31 December 2012, the audited net asset value of KION was approximately EUR660 million. Upon the completion of the Acquisition, such shareholders’ loan in an amount of EUR664.1 million as of 30 September 2012 owed by KION to its then existing shareholders was converted into equity of KION. The pro forma net asset of KION as of 30 September 2012 was approximately EUR707.9 million, mainly due to the conversion of the shareholders’ loan and also partially due to the additional capital contribution from the Acquisition.

Although the market value of the equity investment in KION through both the Acquisition and the exercise of the Call Options will be subject to the share price fluctuation after the IPO, considering the abovementioned factors, the Company believes that the increase in interest in KION is fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the shareholders as a whole.

The increase in the Company’s shareholding interest in KION, the nomination of two supervisory board members, the right of first offer and the potential chairmanship of the supervisory board are considered to be consistent with the Company’s strategy of long term development and collaboration with KION. The Company and KION have, pursuant to the terms of the Framework Agreement, formed a strategic industrial cooperation through which the parties have, amongst others, established or will establish long term supply relationships and will share certain distribution network and supply chain, and they have further agreed to explore possible collaboration in areas that are of mutual interest to both parties. As at the Latest Practicable Date, other than the possible acquisition of shares in KION through the exercise of the Call Options, the Company has no intention to further increase its interest in KION.

In light of the above, and based on the information presently available to the Directors (including, inter alia, the overall market conditions and the operational situations of the KION Group), the Directors (including the independent non-executive directors) believe that the terms of the exercise of the Call Options are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.

7. FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE EXERCISE OF THE CALL OPTIONS

Upon the exercise of the Call Options, the Company will become a holder of 33.3% of the issued share capital of KION. The results, assets and liabilities will not be consolidated into the accounts of the Enlarged Group.

Set out in Appendix IV to this circular is the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group which illustrates the financial effects of the Acquisition on the assets and liabilities of the Group upon completion of the Acquisition.

Based on the unaudited pro forma financial information of the Enlarged Group in Appendix IV to this circular, the total assets and total liabilities of the Group would remain unchanged because KION’s financial results will not be consolidated into the accounts of the Enlarged Group.

LETTER FROM THE BOARD

8. LISTING RULES IMPLICATIONS

As certain of the applicable percentage ratios (as defined under the Listing Rules) in respect of the exercise of the Call Options (i.e. the further acquisition of interest in KION based on the Cap Amount), when aggregated with the Acquisitions and the granting of certain put options in respect of LHY Co as set out in the 2012 Announcements, would be more than 25% but less than 100%, the exercise of the Call Options constitutes a major transaction for the Company and is subject to reporting, announcement and shareholders’ approval requirements.

If the exercise price of the Call Options exceeds the Cap Amount, the Company will re-comply with the relevant disclosure and/or shareholders’ approval requirements under the Listing Rules.

Further, since KION Group holds more than 10% of the fixed partnership capital in LHY Co (a non-wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) as at the Latest Practicable Date, the exercise of the Call Options will constitute a connected transaction of the Company under Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. As LHY Co is an insignificant subsidiary of the Group pursuant to Rule 14A.31 of the Listing Rules, the exercise of the Call Options will be exempt from all the reporting, announcement and independent shareholder’ approval requirements contained in Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. In the event that the said exemption ceases to apply, the Company will comply with the requirements of Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules.

9. EGM

The EGM will be held at the Company’s conference room at 197, Section A, Fu Shou East Street, High Technology Development Zone, Shandong Province, the People’s Republic of China on Monday, 22 April 2013 at 10 a.m. to consider and, if thought fit, approve, the exercise of the Call Options and to authorise the Board to exercise the full power to handle matters relating to the exercise of the Call Options. A notice convening the EGM has been issued by the Company on 7 March 2013.

If you intend to attend the EGM, please complete and return the reply slip despatched by the Company on 7 March 2013 in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as possible and in any event by no later than 2 April 2013.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

5. Business combination

A business combination is a transaction or event that brings together two or more separate entities into one reporting entity. Business combinations are classified into business combinations involving entities under common control and business combinations not involving entities under common control.

Business combinations involving entities under common control

A business combination involving entities under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining entities are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the combination, and that control is not transitory. For a business combination involving entities under common control, the party that, on the combination date, obtains control of another entity participating in the combination is the absorbing party, while that other entity participating in the combination is a party being absorbed. Combination date is the date on which the absorbing party effectively obtains control of the party being absorbed.

Assets and liabilities that are obtained by the absorbing party in a business combination shall be measured at their carrying amounts at the combination date as recorded by the party being absorbed. The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets obtained and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination (or the aggregate face value of shares issued as consideration) shall be adjusted to share premium under capital reserve. If the capital reserve is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings.

Business combinations not involving entities under common control

A business combination not involving entities under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining entities are not ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the combination. For a business combination not involving entities under common control, the party that, on the acquisition date, obtains control of another entity participating in the combination is the acquirer, while that other entity participating in the combination is the acquiree. Acquisition date refers to the date on which the acquirer effectively obtains control of the acquiree.

The acquirer shall measure the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities acquired in the business combination not involving entities under common control at their fair values on the acquisition date.

The excess of the sum of the consideration paid (or equities securities issued) for business combination and equity interests in the acquiree held prior to the date of acquisition over the share of the attributable net identifiable assets of the acquiree, measured at fair value, was recognized as goodwill, which is subsequently measured at cost less cumulative impairment loss. In case the fair value of the sum of the consideration paid (or equities securities issued) and equity interests in the acquiree held prior to the date of acquisition is less than the fair value of the share of the attributable net identifiable assets of the acquiree, a review of the measurement of the fair values of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities, the consideration paid for the combination (or equity securities issued) and the equity interests in the acquiree held prior to the date of acquisition is conducted. If the review indicates that the fair value of the sum of the consideration paid (or equities securities issued) and equity interests in the acquiree held prior to the date of acquisition is indeed less than the fair value of the share of the attributable net identifiable assets of the acquiree, the difference is recognized in current profit or loss.

6. Consolidated financial statements

The consolidation scope of consolidated financial statements is determined on the basis of control, including the financial statements for the half year ended 31 December 2012 of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. A subsidiary is an enterprise or entity that is controlled by the Company.

In preparation of consolidated financial statements, the subsidiaries use the same accounting period as those of the Company. When the accounting policies of a subsidiary are different from those of the Company, the Company shall make adjustments to the financial statements of the

– 39 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

subsidiary based on its own accounting policies. All intra-group balances, transactions, unrealized gains and losses resulting from intra-group transactions and dividends are eliminated on consolidation in full.

Where the amount of loses of a subsidiary attributable to the minority shareholders in the current period exceeds their share of the opening balance of owner’s equity of the subsidiary, the excess shall be allocated against minority interests. A change in the minority interests, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

For subsidiaries acquired through business combinations not involving entities under common control, the operating results and cash flows of the acquiree shall be included in the consolidated financial statements, from the day on which the Group gains control, till the Group ceases the control of it. While preparing the consolidated financial statements, the acquirer shall adjust the subsidiary’s financial statements, on the basis of the fair values of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognized on the acquisition date.

For subsidiaries acquired through business combinations involving entities under common control, the operating results and cash flows of the acquiree shall be included in the consolidated financial statements from the beginning of the period in which the combination occurs. While preparing the comparative consolidated financial statements, adjustments are made to related items in the financial statements for the prior period as if the reporting entity established through combination has been existing since the ultimate controller begins to exercise control.

7. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises the Group’s cash on hand and deposits that can be readily withdrawn on demand. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments held by the Group, that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

8. Foreign currency transactions and foreign currency translation

The Group translates the amount of foreign currency transactions occurred into its functional currency.

Foreign currency transactions are recorded, on initial recognition, in the functional currency, by applying to the foreign currency amount the spot exchange rate prevailing on the transaction dates. At the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are translated using the spot exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date. All the resulting differences on settlement and foreign currently monetary item translation are taken to profit or loss, except for those relating to foreign currency borrowings specifically for construction and acquisition of qualifying assets, which are capitalized in accordance with the principle of capitalization of borrowing costs. Non-monetary foreign currency items measured at historical cost shall still be translated at the spot exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date, and the amount denominated in the functional currency is not changed. Non-monetary foreign currency items measured at fair value are translated at the spot exchange rate prevailing at the date on which the fair values are determined. The difference thus resulted are recognized in profit or loss for the current period or as other comprehensive income based on the nature of the non-monetary items.

For foreign operations, the Group translates their functional currency amounts into RMB in preparing the financial statements as follows: asset and liability items in the balance sheet are translated using the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date, and equity items other than “retained earnings” are translated using the spot exchange rate at the date of transactions; revenue and expense items in the income statement are translated using the average exchange rate for the period during which the transactions occur. The resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and presented as a separate component of equity in the balance sheet. On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognized in the income statement. If the disposal only involves a portion of a particular foreign operation, the component of other comprehensive income relating to that particular foreign operation is recognized in the income statement on a pro-rata basis.

– 40 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Foreign currency cash flows and the cash flows of foreign subsidiaries are translated using the average exchange rate for the period during which the cash flows occur. The effect of exchange rate changes on cash is separately presented as an adjustment item in the cash flow statement.

9. Financial instruments

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.

Recognition and derecognition

The Group recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of a financial instrument.

The Group derecognizes a financial asset (or part of a financial asset, or part of a group of similar financial assets) when the following conditions are met:

  • (1) the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;

  • (2) the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset, or has assumed an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

If the underlying obligation of a financial liability has been discharged or cancelled or has expired, the financial liability is derecognized. If an existing financial liability is replaced by the same creditor with a new financial liability that has substantially different terms, or if the terms of an existing financial liability are substantially revised, such replacement or revision is accounted for as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the resulting difference is recognized in profit or loss for the current period.

Regular way purchase or sale of financial assets are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting. Regular way purchase or sale of financial assets refers to that the financial assets are delivered to or by the Group under the terms of a contract within a period as specified by law or general practice. The trade date is the date on which the Group undertakes to buy or sell a financial asset.

Classification and measurement of financial assets

Financial assets are, on initial recognition, classified into the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, held-to-maturity investments, loans and receivables, available-for-sale financial assets and derivatives designated as effective hedging instruments. Such classification is determined on initial recognition. A financial asset is recognized initially at fair value. In the case of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, relevant transaction costs are directly charged to the profit and loss of the current period; transaction costs relating to financial assets of other categories are included in the amount initially recognized.

The subsequent measurement of a financial asset is determined by its category:

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets held for trading and those designated upon initial recognition as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. A financial asset held for trading is the financial asset that meets one of the following conditions: the financial asset is acquired for the purpose of selling it in a short term; the financial asset is a part of a portfolio of identifiable financial instruments that are collectively managed, and there is objective evidence indicating that the enterprise recently manages this portfolio for the purpose of short-term profits; the financial asset is a derivative, except for a derivative that is designated as an effective hedging instrument, or a financial guarantee contract, or a derivative that is linked

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

to and must be settled by delivery of an unquoted equity instrument (without a quoted price from an active market) whose fair value cannot be reliably measured. For such kind of financial assets, fair values are adopted for subsequent measurement. All the realized or unrealized gains or losses on these financial assets are recognized in profit or loss for the current period. Dividend income or interest income related to financial assets at fair value through profit or loss is charged to profit or loss for the current period.

A financial asset is designated on initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss only when it meets one of the following conditions:

  • (1) the designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistency in the measurement or recognition of relevant gains or losses that would otherwise arise from measuring the financial instruments on different bases.

  • (2) a group of financial instruments is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, and information about the group is reported on that basis to the Group’s key management personnel, according to formal documentation regarding risk management or investment strategy.

  • (3) a hybrid instrument that contains one or more embedded derivatives, except where the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the cash flows of the hybrid instrument; or it is clear that separation of the embedded derivative(s) shall be prohibited.

  • (4) a hybrid instrument that contains an embedded derivative that would need to be separately recorded and cannot be separately measured on acquisition or at the subsequent balance sheet date.

Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair values cannot be reliably measured shall not be designated as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets on initial recognition classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss cannot be reclassified into financial assets of other categories; financial assets of other categories cannot be reclassified into financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, either.

Held-to-maturity investments

Held-to-maturity investments are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturity date that the Group has the positive intention and ability to hold to maturity. Such kind of financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses arising from amortization or impairment and derecognition are recognized in profit or loss for the current period.

Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. Such kind of financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Gains or losses arising amortization or impairment are recognized in profit or loss for the current period.

Available-for-sale financial assets

Available-for-sale financial assets are those non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available for sale or are not classified as any of the aforesaid categories. After initial recognition, available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value. The premium/discount is amortized using effective interest method and recognized as interest income or expense. A gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of an available-for-sale financial asset is recognized as other comprehensive income in capital reserve, except for impairment losses and foreign exchange gains and losses resulted from monetary financial assets, until the financial asset is derecognized or determined to be impaired, at which time the accumulated gain or loss

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

previously recognized is transferred to profit or loss for the current period. Interests and dividends relating to an available-for-sale financial asset are recognized in profit or loss for the current period.

Investments in equity instruments, which do not have quoted prices in an active market and whose fair values cannot be reliably measured, are measured at cost.

Classification and measurement of financial liabilities

The Group’s financial liabilities are, on initial recognition, classified into financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, other financial liabilities or derivatives designated as effective hedging instruments. Such classification is determined on initial recognition. For financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, relevant transaction costs are directly recognized in profit or loss for the current period, and transaction costs relating to other financial liabilities are included in the initial recognition amounts.

The subsequent measurement of a financial liability is determined by its category:

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and those designated as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. A financial liability held for trading is the financial liability that meets one of the following conditions: the financial liability is assumed for the purpose of repurchasing it in a short term; the financial liability is a part of a portfolio of identifiable financial instruments that are collectively managed, and there is objective evidence indicating that the enterprise recently manages this portfolio for the purpose of short-term profits; the financial liability is a derivative, except for a derivative that is designated as effective hedging instrument, or a financial guarantee contract, or a derivative that is linked to and must be settled by delivery of an unquoted equity instrument (without a quoted price form an active market) whose fair value cannot be reliably measured. For such kind of financial liabilities, fair values are adopted for subsequent measurement. All the realized or unrealized gains or losses on these financial liabilities are recognized in profit or loss for the current period.

A financial liability is designated on initial recognition as at fair value through profit or loss only when it meets one of the following conditions:

  • (1) the designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistency in the measurement or recognition of relevant gains or losses that would otherwise arise from measuring the financial instruments on different bases.

  • (2) a group of financial instruments is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, and information about the group is reported to the Group’s key management personnel, according to formal documentation regarding risk management or investment strategy.

  • (3) a hybrid instrument that contains one or more embedded derivatives, except where the embedded derivative does not significantly modify the cash flows of the hybrid instrument; or it is clear that separation of the embedded derivative(s) shall be prohibited.

  • (4) a hybrid instrument that contains an embedded derivative that would need to be separately recorded and cannot be separately measured on acquisition or at the subsequent balance sheet date.

Financial liabilities on initial recognition classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss cannot be reclassified into financial liabilities of other categories; financial liabilities of other categories cannot be reclassified into financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss either.

Other financial liabilities

After initial recognition, such kind of financial liabilities are measured at amortized costs by using the effective interest method.

– 43 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Financial guarantee contracts

A financial guarantee contract is a contract that requires the issuer to settle a debt or assume a liability to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are measured, on initial recognition, at fair value. For financial guarantee contracts that are not designated as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, they are, after initial recognition, subsequently measured at the higher of: the amount of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date; and the amount initially recognized less the accumulated amortization determined according to the principles of revenue recognition.

Fair value of financial instruments

If there is an active market for a financial asset or financial liability, the quoted price in the active market is used to establish the fair value of the financial asset or financial liability. If no active market exists for a financial instrument, its fair value is determined using valuation techniques. Such techniques include using recent arm’s length market transactions between knowledgeable and willing parties, reference to the current fair value of another instrument that is substantially the same, discounted cash flow analysis and option pricing models.

Impairment of financial assets

The Group assesses at the balance sheet date the carrying amount of every financial asset. If there is objective evidence indicating a financial asset may be impaired, a provision is provided for the impairment. Objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired is one or more events that occur after the initial recognition of the asset and have an impact (which can be reliably estimated) on the expected future cash flows of the financial asset.

Financial assets carried at amortized cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on a financial asset has incurred, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to the present value of expected future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) and such reduction is taken to profit or loss for the current period. The present value of expected future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate (i.e. effective interest rate computed on initial recognition) and includes the value of any related collateral. If a financial asset has a variable interest rate, the Group uses the current effective interest rate(s) stipulated in the contract as the discount rate to calculate the present value of future cash flows.

For a financial asset that is individually significant, the asset is individually assessed for impairment, and the amount of impairment is recognized in profit or loss if there is objective evidence of impairment. For a financial asset that is not individually significant, it is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment. If no objective evidence of impairment incurs for an individually assessed financial asset (whether the financial asset is individually significant or not individually significant), it is included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment. Assets for which an impairment loss is individually recognized is not included in a group of financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and collectively assessed for impairment.

If, subsequent to the Group’s recognition of an impairment loss on a financial asset carried at amortized cost, there is objective evidence of a recovery in value of the financial asset and the recovery can be related to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed and recognized in profit or loss. However, the reversal shall not result in a carrying amount of the financial asset that exceeds what the amortized cost would have been had the impairment loss not been recognized at the date the impairment is reversed.

– 44 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Available-for-sale financial assets

If there is objective evidence that an available-for-sale asset is impaired, the accumulated loss arising from decline in fair value previously recognized in other comprehensive income is removed and recognized in profit or loss. The accumulated loss that removed from other comprehensive income is the difference between the acquisition cost (net of any principal repayment and amortization) and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on the financial asset previously recognized in profit or loss.

Objective evidence indicating that available-for-sale equity investment is impaired include significant or prolonged decline in fair value. Judgments are required to determine the definition of “significant” or “prolonged”. “Significant” is judged by the extent of fair value below its cost and “prolonged” is judged by the length of period where fair value falls below its cost. Impairment loss of investment in available-for-sale equity investment is not reversed through profit or loss, and any increase of fair value that occurs after the impairment is recognized directly in other comprehensive income. The impairment loss on an available-for-sale equity instrument is not reversed through profit or loss, and any increase of fair value that occurs after the impairment is recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

If, after an impairment loss has been recognized on an available-for-sale debt instrument, the fair value of the debt instrument increases in a subsequent period and the increase can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the impairment loss is reversed with the amount of the reversal recognized in profit or loss.

Financial assets carried at cost

If there is objective evidence that such an asset is impaired, the difference between its carrying amount and the present value of expected future cash flows which are discounted at the current market yield rate of similar financial assets is recognized as an impairment loss in profit or loss. Once an impairment loss is recognized, it is not reversed.

For a long-term equity investment accounted for using the cost method according to the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 2 – Long-term Equity Investments and which is not quoted in an active market and for which the fair value cannot be reliably measured, any impairment is accounted for in accordance with the above principles.

Transfer of financial assets

If the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the Group derecognizes the financial asset; if the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the Group does not derecognize the financial asset.

If the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, it is accounted for as follows: (i) if the Group has not retained control, it derecognizes the financial asset and recognizes any resulting assets or liabilities; (ii) if the Group has retained control, it continues to recognize the financial asset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset and recognizes an associated liability.

10. Receivables

  • (1) Receivables which are individually significant and for which provision for bad debt is recognized separately

Receivables are individually significant and tested for impairment individually if according to the Group’s judgment, the balance of accounts receivables and other receivables due from an individual customer accounts for more than RMB20 million in the total balance of receivables. When objective evidence indicates that the receivable has been impaired, bad debt provision is made based on the shortfall of the present value of future cash flow as compared to its carrying amount, and is charged to profit and loss for the current period.

– 45 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

(2) Receivables for which provision for bad debt is recognized by group

For receivables which have not undergone individual assessment, provision for bad debt is recognized by grouping the receivables based on their credit risk features. Other than receivables for which provision for bad debt is recognized separately, bad debt provision is made according to the actual loss ratio of the same or similar receivable groups or receivable groups with similar credit risk features, with due regard to the current situation. The Group determines the grouping in terms of credit risks using age of the accounts receivables and other receivables and uses aging analysis to make provision for bad debts. The percentage are as follows:

Percentage
Age provided for
Within 1 year 5%
1-2 years 15%
2-3 years 30%
3-4 years 50%
4-5 years 80%
Over 5 years 100%

If objective evidence shows a recovery in value of the receivables, the bad debt provision can be reversed and carried through profit and loss in the current period.

  • (3) Receivables which are not individually significant but provision for bad debt is recognized separately

For receivables which are not individually significant but objective evidence shows that the impairment has occurred, bad debt provision will be made according to the difference between the present value of future cash flows and its carrying amounts and will be carried through profit and loss.

If clear evidence indicates that the receivables are indeed not recoverable, such as in case of cancellation, bankruptcy or insolvency of the debtor or its serious cash flow problem, then it is recognized as a bad debt and written off for bad debt provision already made.

11. Inventories

Inventories include raw materials, work in progress, finished goods, self made semi-finished goods and turnover materials etc.

Inventories are initially carried at cost. Cost of inventories comprises all costs of purchase, costs of conversion and other costs. The actual cost of inventories transferred out is assigned by using weighted average method or specific identification method. Turnover materials, including low value consumables and packaging, are amortized by using immediate write-off method.

The Groups adopts perpetual inventory system.

At the balance sheet date, inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. If the cost of inventories is higher than the net realizable value, a provision for decline in value of inventories is recognized in profit or loss. If factors that previously resulted in the provision for decline in value of inventories no longer exist, so that the net realizable value is higher than the carrying amount, the amount of the write-down is reversed. The reversal is limited to the amount originally provided for the provision for the decline in value of inventories. The amount of the reversal is recognized in profit or loss for the current period.

– 46 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale and relevant taxes. The provision for decline in value of inventories is made on an individual basis or a category basis.

12. Long-term equity investments

Long-term equity investments include equity investments in subsidiaries, jointly controlled enterprises and associates, and equity investments where the Group does not have control, joint control or significant influence over the investees and which are not quoted in an active market and the fair values of which cannot be reliably measured.

A long-term equity investment is recorded at its initial investment cost on acquisition. For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination, the initial investment cost is determined as follows: for a business combination involving entities under common control, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment is the absorbing party’s share of the owner’s equity of the party being absorbed; for a business combination involving entities not under common control, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment is the cost of combination (For a business combination not involving entities under common control achieved in stages that involves multiple transactions, the initial investment cost is carried at the aggregate of the carrying amount of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree and the new investment cost incurred on the acquisition date.). The cost of combination is the aggregate of the fair values of the assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity securities issued by the acquirer, in exchange for control of the acquired. For a long-term equity investment acquired otherwise than through a business combination, the initial investment cost is determined as follows: for a long-term equity investment acquired by paying cash, the initial investment cost is the actual purchase price paid and those costs, taxes and other necessary expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition of the long-term equity investment; for a long-term equity investment acquired by the issue of equity securities, the initial investment cost is the fair value of the securities issued; for a long-term equity investment contributed by the Group, the initial investment cost is the value stipulated in the investment contract or agreement, except where the value stipulated in the investment contract or agreement is not fair.

For a long-term equity investment where the Group does not have joint control or significant influence over the investee, the investment is not quoted in an active market and its fair value cannot be reliably measured, the Group uses the cost method. And for a long-term equity investment where the Company can exercise control over the investee, the Company uses the cost method in the Company’s financial statements. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an enterprise so as to obtain benefits from its operating activities.

Under the cost method, the long-term equity investment is measured at its initial investment cost. Except for the cash dividend or profit distribution declared but unpaid that is included in the price or consideration paid upon acquisition of a long-term equity investment, the Company recognizes its share of cash dividends or profit distributions declared by the investee as investment income in the current period, and considers whether the long-term equity investment is impaired according to the policies related to asset impairment.

The equity method is adopted when the Group holds joint control, or exercises significant influence on the investee. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity, and exists only when the financial and operational decisions relating to the activity require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control with other parties over those policies.

Under the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the investing entity’s interest in the fair values of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, no adjustment is made to the initial investment cost. Where the initial investment cost is less than the investing entity’s interest in the fair values of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the acquisition date, the difference is charged to profit or loss for the current period, and the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted accordingly.

– 47 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Under the equity method, the Group recognizes its share of the net profits or losses made by the investee as investment income or losses, and adjusts the carrying amount of the investment accordingly. The Group recognizes its share of the investee’s net profits or losses after making appropriate adjustments to the investee’s net profits and losses based on the fair value of the investee’s identifiable assets at the acquisition date, using the Group’s accounting policies and periods, and eliminating the portion of the profits or losses arising from internal transactions with its jointly controlled enterprises and associates, attributable to the investing entity according to its share ratio (but impairment losses for assets arising from internal transactions shall be recognized in full). The carrying amount of the investment is reduced based on the Group’s share of any profit distributions or cash dividends declared by the investee. The Group’s share of net losses of the investee is recognized to the extent the carrying amount of the investment together with any long-term interests that in substance form part of its net investment in the investee is reduced to zero, except that the Group has incurred obligations to assume additional losses. The Group adjusts the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment for any changes in shareholders’ equity of the investee (other than net profits or losses) and includes the corresponding adjustments in the shareholders’ equity.

On disposal of a long-term equity investment, the difference between the proceeds actually received and carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss for the current period. For a long-term equity investment accounted for using the equity method, any changes in the shareholders’ equity of the investee included in the shareholders’ equity of the Group is transferred to profit or loss for the current period on a pro-rata basis according to the proportion disposed of.

For a long-term equity investment in a subsidiary, jointly controlled enterprises or associate, refer to Item 24 under Note II for the test for impairment and recognition of provision for impairment. For other long-term equity investment where the investment is not quoted in an active market and its fair value cannot be measured reliably, refer to Item 9 under Note II for the test for impairment and recognition of provision for impairment.

13. Investment property

Investment property is property held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both. Investment property includes a land use right that is leased out and a building that is leased out.

An investment property is measured initially at its cost. If the economic benefits relating to an investment property will probably flow in and the cost can be reliably measured, subsequent costs incurred for the property is included in the cost of the investment property. Otherwise, subsequent costs are recognized in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred.

The Group uses the cost model for subsequent measurement of its investment property. Depreciation or amortization is calculated on the straight-line basis over its useful life, as follows:

Expected
Project useful life
(Year)
Land use rights 48.5–50 years
Housing and buildings 14.5–30 years

For an investment property that is subsequently measured using the cost model, refer to Item 24 under Note II for the test for impairment and recognition of provision for impairment.

14. Fixed assets

A fixed asset is recognized only when the economic benefits associated with the asset will probably flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Subsequent expenditure incurred for a fixed asset that meet the recognition criteria shall be included in the cost of the fixed asset, and the carrying amount of the component of the fixed asset that is replaced shall be derecognized. Otherwise, such expenditure shall be recognized in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred.

– 48 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Fixed assets are initially measured at cost. The cost of a purchased fixed asset comprises the purchase price, relevant taxes and any directly attributable expenditure for bringing the asset to working condition for its intended use. Other than fixed assets arising from the use and appropriation of safety production fees and certain equipment of the parent company, and machinery and equipment of certain subsidiaries namely WEICHAI POWER MAT AUTOMOTIVE, INC., Shaanxi Fast Gear Co., Ltd., Baoji Fast Gear Co., Ltd. and Xi’an Fast Auto Drive Co., Ltd., for which double-declining balance method is used for depreciation, the straight line method is adopted for the depreciation of other fixed assets.

The estimated useful lives, residual value rates and annual depreciation rates of fixed assets are presented as follows:

Estimated Annual
Estimated net residual depreciation
Item useful lives value rate rate
(years) (%) (%)
Houses and buildings 12–35 3–10 2.57–8.08
Machinery and equipment 4–12 3–10 7.50–24.25
Vehicles 4–10 3–10 9.00–24.25
Electronic equipment 3–12 3–10 7.50–32.33
Other equipment 3–10 3–10 9.00–32.33

The Group reviews the useful life and estimated net residual value of a fixed asset and the depreciation method applied at least at each financial year-end, and make adjustments if necessary.

For the test for impairment and recognition of provision for impairment related to a fixed asset, refer to Item 24 under Note II.

15. Construction in progress

The cost of construction in progress is determined according to the actual expenditure incurred for the construction, including all necessary construction expenditure incurred during the construction period, borrowing costs that shall be capitalized before the construction gets ready for its intended use and other relevant expenses.

A construction in progress is transferred to fixed asset when the asset is ready for its intended use.

For the test for impairment and recognition of provision for impairment related to a construction in progress, refer to Item 24 under Note II.

16. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs are interest and other costs incurred by the Group in connection with the borrowing of the funds. Borrowing costs include interest, amortization of discounts or premiums related to borrowings, ancillary costs incurred in connection with the arrangement of borrowings, and exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings.

The borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized. The amounts of other borrowing costs incurred are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred. Qualifying assets are assets (fixed assets, investment property and inventories, etc.) that necessarily take a substantial period of time for acquisition, construction or production to get ready for their intended use or sale.

The capitalization of borrowing costs commences only when all of the following conditions are satisfied:

  • (1) expenditures for the asset are being incurred;

  • (2) borrowing costs are being incurred;

– 49 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

  • (3) activities relating to the acquisition, construction or production of the asset that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale have commenced.

Capitalization of borrowing costs ceases when the qualifying asset being acquired, constructed or produced becomes ready for its intended use or sale. Any borrowing costs subsequently incurred are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.

During the capitalization period, the amount of interest to be capitalized for each accounting period shall be determined as follows:

  • (1) Where funds are borrowed for a specific purpose, the amount of interest to be capitalized is the actual interest expense incurred on that borrowing for the period less any bank interest earned form depositing the borrowed funds before being used on the asset or any investment income on the temporary investment of those funds.

  • (2) Where funds are borrowed for a general purpose, the amount of interest to be capitalized on such borrowings is determined by applying a weighted average interest rate to the weighted average of the excess amounts of accumulated expenditure on the asset over and above the amounts of specific-purpose borrowings.

Capitalization of borrowing costs is suspended during periods in which the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset is interrupted by activities other than those necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale, when the interruption is for a continuous period of more than 3 months. Borrowing costs incurred during these periods are recognized as an expense for the current period until the acquisition, construction or production is resumed.

17. Intangible assets

An intangible asset shall be recognized only when it is probable that the economic benefit associated with the asset will flow to the Group and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. However, intangible assets acquired in a business combination with a fair value that can be measured reliably are recognized separately as intangible assets and measured at the fair value.

The useful life of an intangible asset is determined according to the period over which it is expected to generate economic benefits for the Group. An intangible asset is regarded as having an indefinite useful life when there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generate economic benefits for the Group.

The useful lives of the intangible assets are as follows:

Useful life
Technology know-how 3.5–20 years
Land use rights 30–50 years
Computer software 5–10 years
License 10 years
Orders on hand 1–25 years
Customer relationship 2–17 years
Others 4 years
Trademark rights Indefinite

Land use rights that are acquired by the Group are generally accounted for as intangible assets. Buildings, such as plants that are developed and constructed by the Group, and relevant land use rights and buildings, are accounted for as intangible assets and fixed assets, respectively. Payments for the land and buildings acquired are allocated between the land use rights and the buildings; if they cannot be reasonably allocated, all of the land use rights and buildings are accounted for as fixed assets.

– 50 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

An intangible asset with a finite useful life is amortized using the straight-line method over its useful life. For an intangible asset with a finite useful life, the Group reviews the useful life and amortization method at least at each financial year-end and makes adjustment if necessary.

An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life are tested for impairment at least once every year, irrespective of whether there is any indication that the asset may be impaired. This category of intangible assets will not be amortized and will be reviewed every accounting period based on its useful life. If there are evidence indicates that its useful life is limited, the asset will be accounted for in accordance to the policy for intangible asset with definite useful life stated above.

The Group classifies the expenditure on an internal research and development project into expenditure on the research phase and expenditure on the development phase. Expenditure on the research phase of an internal research and development project is recognized in profit or loss for the period in which it is incurred. Expenditure on the development phase is capitalized when the Group can demonstrate all of the following: (i) the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; (ii) the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; (iii) how the intangible asset will generate probable future economic benefits. Among other things, the Group can demonstrate the existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset; (iv) the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; and (v) its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development. Expenditure on the development phase that does not meet the above criteria is recognized in profit or loss for the period in which it is incurred.

For the test for impairment and recognition of provision for impairment related to an intangible asset, refer to Item 24 under Note II.

18. Long-term prepaid expenses

Long-term prepaid expenses are amortized using straight-line method as follows:

Amortization period
(years)
Industrial mould fee 1–5 years
Industrial equipment fee 5 years
Expenditure on improvement of fixed assets leased in the shorter of useful lives
and lease period

19. Provisions

Except for contingent consideration transferred and contingent liability assumed in business combinations, the Group recognizes an obligation related to a contingency as a provision when all of the following conditions are satisfied:

  • (1) The obligation is a present obligation of the Group;

  • (2) It is probable that an outflow of economic benefits from the Group will be required to settle the obligation;

  • (3) The amount of the obligation can be measured reliably.

A provision is initially measured at the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the related present obligation, with comprehensive consideration of factors such as the risks, uncertainty and time value of money relating to a contingency. The carrying amount of a provision is reviewed at the balance sheet date. If there is clear evidence that the carrying amount does not reflect the current best estimate, the carrying amount is adjusted to the best estimate.

– 51 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

A contingent liability recognized in a business combination is initially measured at its fair value. Subsequently, it is measured at the higher of (i) the amount that would be recognized in accordance with the general guidance for provisions above; and (ii) the amount initially recognized less, when appropriate, cumulative amortization recognized in accordance with the guidance for revenue recognition.

20. Revenue

Revenue is recognized only when it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group, its amount can be measured reliably, and the following conditions are satisfied.

Revenue from the sales of goods

Revenue is recognized when the Group has transferred to the buyer the significant risks and rewards of ownership of the goods; the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold; and the associated costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably. The amount of revenue arising from the sale of goods is determined in accordance with the consideration received or receivable from the buyer under contract or agreement, except where the consideration received or receivable under contract or agreement is not fair. Where the consideration receivable under contract or agreement is deferred, such that the arrangement is in substance of a financing nature, the amount of revenue arising on the sale of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration receivable under contract or agreement.

Revenue from the rendering of services

When the outcome of a transaction involving the rendering of services can be estimated reliably at the balance sheet date, revenue associated with the transaction is recognized using the percentage of completion method, or otherwise, the revenue is recognized to the extent of costs incurred that are expected to be recoverable. The outcome of a transaction involving rendering of services can be estimated reliably when all of the following conditions are satisfied: the amount of revenue can be measured reliably; it is probable that the associated economic benefits will flow to the Group; the stage of completion of the transaction can be measured reliably; the costs incurred and to be incurred for the transaction can be measured reliably. The Group determines the stage of completion of a transaction involving the rendering of services by using the proportion of costs incurred to date to the estimated total costs. The total service revenue on a transaction involving rendering of services is determined in accordance with the consideration received or receivable from the recipient of services under contract or agreement, except where the consideration received or receivable under contract or agreement is not fair.

Interest income

It is determined according to the length of time for which the Group’s cash and cash equivalents is used by others and the effective interest rate.

Royalty income

It is determined according to period and method of charging as stipulated in the relevant contract or agreement.

Lease income

Lease income from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Contingent rents are charged to profit or loss in the period in which they actually arise.

21. Government grants

Government grant is recognized when the Group can comply with the conditions attached to it and it can be received. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer of a monetary asset, it is measured at the amount received or receivable. If a government grant is in the form of a transfer

– 52 –

of a non-monetary asset, it is measured at fair value; if fair value is not reliably determinable, it is measured at a nominal amount. A government grant related to income is accounted for as follows: (a) if the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses to be incurred in subsequent periods, the grant is recognized as deferred income, and recognized in profit or loss over the periods in which the related costs are recognized; (b) if the grant is a compensation for related expenses or losses already incurred, it is recognized immediately in profit or loss for the current period. A government grant related to an asset shall be recognized as deferred income, and evenly amortized to profit or loss over the useful life of the related asset. However, a government grant measured at a nominal amount is recognized immediately in profit or loss for the current period.

22. Income tax

Income tax comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognized as income or an expense in profit or loss for the current period, or recognized directly in shareholders’ equity if it arises from a business combination or relates to a transaction or event which is recognized directly in shareholders’ equity.

The Group measures a current tax asset or liability arising from the current and prior period based on the amount of income tax expected to be paid by the Group or returned by tax authority calculated by related tax laws.

For temporary differences at the balance sheet date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts, and temporary differences between the carrying amounts and the tax bases of items, the tax bases of which can be determined for tax purposes, but which have not been recognized as assets and liabilities, deferred taxes are provided using the liability method.

A deferred tax liability is recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:

  • (1) where the taxable temporary differences arise from the initial recognition of goodwill, or the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction which contains both of the following characteristics: (i) the transaction is not a business combination; and (ii) at the time of the transaction, it affects neither accounting profit nor taxable profit or deductible loss.

  • (2) in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, jointly-controlled enterprises and associates, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future.

A deferred tax asset is recognized for deductible temporary differences, carryforward of unused deductible tax losses and tax credits, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carryforward of deductible tax losses and tax credits can be utilized, except:

  • (1) where the deductible temporary differences arises from a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or deductible loss is affected.

  • (2) in respect of the deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and jointly-controlled enterprises, a deferred tax asset is only recognized to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will be reversed in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized in the future.

At the balance sheet date, deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, according to the requirements of tax laws. The measurement of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects at the balance sheet date, to recover the assets or settle the liabilities.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available in future periods to allow the deferred tax assets to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at the balance sheet date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities and presented on a net basis are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities on a net basis and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

23. Leases

A finance lease is a lease that transfers in substance all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset. An operating lease is a lease other than a finance lease.

In the case of the lessee of an operating lease

Lease payments under an operating lease are recognized by a lessee on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and either included in the cost of the related asset or charged to profit or loss for the current period. Contingent rents are charged to profit or loss in the period in which they actually arise.

In the case of the lessor of an operating lease

Rent income under an operating lease is recognized by a lessor on a straight-line basis over the lease term, through profit or loss. Contingent rents are charged to profit or loss in the period in which they actually arise.

24. Impairment of assets

The Group determines the impairment of assets, other than the impairment of inventories, deferred income taxes, financial assets and long-term equity investments, which are accounted for using the cost method and have no quoted market prices in active markets, and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured, using the following methods:

The Group assesses at the balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists that an asset may be impaired, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the asset and performs test for impairment. Goodwill arising from a business combination and an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life are tested for impairment at least at each year-end, irrespective of whether there is any indication that the asset may be impaired. Intangible assets that have not been ready for intended use are tested for impairment each year.

The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flow expected to be derived from the asset. The Group estimates the recoverable amount on an individual basis. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the Group determines the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs. Identification of an asset group is based on whether major cash inflows generated by the asset group are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or asset groups.

When the recoverable amount of an asset or asset group is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount. The reduction in carrying amount is treated as impairment loss and recognized in profit or loss for the current period. A provision for impairment loss of the asset is recognized accordingly.

For the purpose of impairment testing, the carrying amount of goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated from the acquisition date on a reasonable basis, to each of the related asset groups; if it is impossible to allocate to the related asset groups, it is allocated to each of the

– 54 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

related sets of asset groups. Each of the related asset groups or sets of asset groups is an asset group or set of asset group that is able to benefit from the synergies of the business combination and shall not be larger than a reportable segment determined by the Group.

In testing an asset group or a set of asset groups to which goodwill has been allocated for impairment, if there is any indication of impairment, the Group firstly tests the asset group or set of asset groups excluding the amount of goodwill allocated for impairment, determines the recoverable amount and recognizes any impairment loss. After that, the Group tests the asset group or set of asset groups including goodwill for impairment, whereby the carrying amount of the related asset group or set of asset groups is compared to its recoverable amount. If the carrying amount of the asset group or set of asset groups is higher than its recoverable amount, the amount of the impairment loss firstly reduces the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to the asset group or set of asset groups, and then reduce the carrying amount of other assets (other than the goodwill) within the asset group or set of asset groups, pro rata on the basis of the carrying amount of each asset.

Once the above impairment loss is recognized, it cannot be reversed in subsequent accounting periods.

25. Payroll

Payroll are all forms of consideration given and other relevant expenditures incurred by the Group in exchange for service rendered by employees. In the accounting period in which an employee has rendered service to the Group, the payroll payable is recognized as a liability. For payroll payable due in more than 1 year after the balance sheet date, if the discounted value is significant, it is presented at the present value.

The Group maintains both defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans.

The employees of the Group participate in social insurance, such as pension insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, etc., and housing funds, which is managed by the local government, and the relevant expenditure is recognized, when incurred, in the costs of relevant assets or the profit and loss for the current period.

When the Group terminates the employment relationship with employees before the end of the employment contracts or provides compensation as an offer to encourage employees to accept voluntary redundancy, a provisions recognized for the compensation arising from termination of employment relationship with employees, with a corresponding charge to profit or loss for the current period, when both of the following conditions are satisfied: (a) The Group has a formal plan for termination of employment relationship, or has made an offer for voluntary redundancy, which will be implemented immediately. (b) The Group cannot unilaterally withdraw from the termination plan or the redundancy offer.

The same principle is applied to the early retirement plan, as it is for the above-mentioned termination benefits. The Group recognizes salaries, social insurance premiums, etc., to be paid for the early retired employees, during the period from the date when the employees stop rendering service to the normal retirement date, as payroll payable through profit or loss for the current period, when the above conditions for the recognition of termination benefit plan are satisfied.

Defined benefit plans is a non-defined contribution plan. Defined benefit plans generally defines the amount of pension benefit entitled to the employee upon retirement, usually depending on one or more factors such as age, terms of services and remuneration. The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the end of the reporting period, less the fair value of planned assets, together with adjustments for unrecognized past service costs. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit cost method. The present value of the defined benefit obligations is determined by discounting the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high quality bonds that are denominated in the currency used to pay for the pension, and that have terms to maturity approximating the terms of the related pension liability.

– 55 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Actuarial gains and losses arising from experience adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions are charged in other comprehensive income for the period in which they are incurred. Past-service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss, unless the changes to the defined benefit plans are conditional on the employees remaining in service for a specified period of time (the vesting period). In this case, the past-service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.

26. Profit appropriation and distribution

The annual cash dividend of the Company is recognized as a liability after being approved in the general meeting.

27. Debt restructuring

A debt restructuring is an event in which a debtor is in financial difficulty and a creditor grants a concession to the debtor in accordance with a mutual agreement or a court judgment.

As a debtor

When a debt is settled by cash in a debt restructuring, the difference between the carrying amount of the debt and the cash actually paid is recognized in profit or loss for the current period. When a debt is satisfied by a transfer of non-cash asset(s) to the creditor in a debt restructuring, the difference between the carrying amount of the debt and the fair value of the non-cash asset(s) transferred is recognized in profit or loss for the current period; the difference between the fair value of the non-cash asset(s) transferred and their carrying amount was recognized in profit or loss for the current period. When a debt is converted into capital in a debt restructuring, the difference between the carrying amount of the debt and the fair value of the capital issued to the creditor is recognized in profit or loss for the current period. When other terms of the debt is modified, the difference between the carrying amount of the debt under restructuring and the sum of the fair value of the debt subsequent to the modification of other terms of the debt and the provisions recognized in respect of amounts payable, shall be recoginzed in profit or loss for the current period. When a debt is satisfied by a combination of the methods mentioned above, the carrying amount of the debt is reduced by, and in the sequence of, the cash payment, the fair value of the non-cash asset(s) transferred and the fair value of the capital issued to the creditor, and then accounted for in accordance with the requirements related to a debt restructuring that involves the modification of other terms of a debt.

As a creditor

When a debt is settled by cash in a debt restructuring, the difference between the gross carrying amount of the debt receivable and the cash received is recognized in profit or loss for the current period. When a debt is satisfied by a transfer of non-cash asset(s) in a debt restructuring, the difference between the gross carrying amount of the debt receivable and the fair value of the non-cash asset(s) received is recognized in profit or loss for the current period. When a debt is converted into capital in a debt restructuring, the difference between the gross carrying amount of the debt and the fair value of the equity interest received is recognized in profit or loss for the current period. When other terms of the debt is modified, the difference between the gross carrying amount of the debt receivable under restructuring and the fair value of the debt receivable subsequent to the modification of other terms of the debt, shall be recognized in profit or loss for the current period. When a debt is satisfied by a combination of the methods mentioned above, the gross carrying amount of the debt is reduced by, and in the sequence of, the cash received, the fair value of the non-cash asset(s) obtained and the fair value of the equity interest received, and then accounted for in accordance with the requirements related to a debt restructuring that involves the modification of other terms of a debt.

If the creditor has provided for impairment loss on the debt receivable, the above difference is used to reduce the impairment provision and any excess is recognized in profit or loss for the current period.

Such financial liabilities shall be re-measured as the present value of the amount payable upon redemption in the subsequent period, with changes charged to the current profit or loss.

32. Significant accounting judgments and estimates

The preparation of the financial statements requires management to make judgments and estimates that will affect the reported amounts and disclosure of revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date. However, uncertainty about these estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of the assets or liabilities affected in the future.

Judgments

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments which have significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements.

– 57 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Operating lease – in the case of the lessor

The Group has entered into leasing contracts for its investment properties. The Group is of the opinion that, according to the terms of such leasing contracts, the Group has retained all material risks and returns of ownership of these properties and therefore they are accounted for as operating lease.

Estimation uncertainty

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the future accounting periods, are discussed below.

Impairment of goodwill and trademarks

The Group determines whether goodwill and trademarks with indefinite useful life are impaired at least on an annual basis. This requires an estimation of the value in use of the asset group to which goodwill and trademarks are allocated. Estimating the value in use requires the Group to make an estimate of the expected future cash flows from the asset group and also to choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

Defined benefit plans

On the balance sheet date, the management of the Group recognize defined benefit plans liabilities based on the present value of the defined benefit plans liabilities calculated by the independent actuaries less fair value of the planned assets. The present value of defined benefit liabilities comprises of various assumptions, including term of pension and discount rate. Inconsistency between the future events and such assumptions may subject the defined benefit plans liabilities on the balance sheet date to material adjustment.

Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets

The Group classifies certain assets as available-for-sale and recognizes movements of their fair values in shareholders’ equity. When the fair value declines, management makes assumptions about the decline in value to determine whether there is an impairment that shall be recognized in the income statement.

Impairment of non-current assets other than non-financial assets (other than goodwill)

The Group assesses whether there are any indication of impairment for all non-current assets other than financial assets at the balance sheet date. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually and at other times when such indication exists. Other non-current assets other than financial assets are tested for impairment when there are indication that the carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Where the carrying amount of an asset or asset group is higher than its recoverable amount (i.e. the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from it), it is indicated that such asset or asset group is impaired. The fair value less costs to sell is determined with reference to the price in sales agreement or observable market price in arm’s length transaction, adjusted for incremental costs that would be directly attributable to the disposal of the asset or asset group. When calculating the present value of expected future cash flows from an asset or asset group, the management shall estimate the expected future cash flows from the asset or asset group and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those future cash flows.

Deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all unused deductible temporary differences and deductible losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and deductible losses can be utilized. Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profit together with future tax planning strategies.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Write-down of inventories to net realizable values

Write-down of inventories to their net realizable values is based on the saleability of the evaluated inventory and their net realizable values. Given the management’s judgments and estimates required for inventory impairment on the basis of clear evidence, purpose of holding the inventories, effect of subsequent events and other factors, the difference between the actual outcome and original estimate will affect the carrying amount of inventories and provision and reversal of decline in value of inventories during the estimated revision period.

Impairment of receivable

Impairment of receivable is based on the recoverability of assessed receivable. Given the management’s judgment and estimate required for impairment of receivable, the difference between the actual outcome and original estimate will affect the carrying amount of receivable and provision and reversal of bad debts of receivable during the estimated revision period.

Recognition of estimated liabilities

The Group uses contract terms, existing knowledge and historical experience, to estimate and recognize the provision for product quality assurance. On condition that such contingent matters has formed a present obligation which is probable to give rise to an outflow of the Group’s economic benefits, the Group recognizes the best estimate.

Estimated useful lives of fixed assets

The Group reviews the estimated useful lives of fixed assets at least once at the end of the year. Estimated useful lives is determined by the management based on historical experience of similar assets and expected technological advancement. Corresponding adjustment to depreciation expenses for future periods will be made in case of substantial changes in previous estimates.

III. TAXATION

In 2012, amortization of intangible assets amounted to RMB43,231,967.48 (2011: RMB44,258,658.11).

As at 31 December 2012, land use rights pledged for securing the bank loans obtained by the Group had carrying amount of RMB40,923,286.59 (31 December 2011: RMB67,001,000.00).

The trademarks are renewable every 10 years at minimal cost. The management of the Group are of the opinion that the Group has both the intention and ability to renew the trademarks continuously. As a result, the useful life of the trademarks is considered by the management of the Group as indefinite because the trademarks are expected to contribute to the Group’s net cash inflows indefinitely. The trademarks will not be amortised until their useful life is determined to be finite. Instead the trademarks will be tested for impairment annually and whenever there is an indication that they may be impaired. Particulars of the impairment testing are disclosed in note 19.

Closing balance as at 31 December 2012 represented goodwill arising from merger with TAGC and merger with LHY Co. Goodwill is tested for impairment based on asset groups formed by the assets from TAGC and LHY Co. As at 31 December 2012, the management considered there was no risk of impairment of goodwill.

The goodwill and trademarks acquired through business combination have been allocated to the following asset groups for impairment tests. These asset groups are as well the reportable segments:

  • Cash-generating unit A: manufacture and sale of diesel engines and related parts

  • Cash-generating unit B: major automobile components other than automotive and diesel engines

  • Cash-generating unit C: manufacture of hydraulic pumps, hydraulic motors, hydraulic valves, gears and other components

Cash-generating unit A, B and C

The recoverable amount of cash-generating unit A, B and C has been determined based on the present value of the expected future cash flows of the asset group, which was determined based on cash flow projection in accordance to the 5-year financial budget approved by the management. The discount rate used for the cash flow projection was the pre-tax rate that better reflected the current time value of money and specific risks related to the assets. The growth rate of cash flows beyond the 5-year period was the long-term average growth rate in the industries or regions in which the enterprises operate.

The carrying amount of goodwill and trademark are allocated to the asset groups as follows:

The other major assumption of the value in use calculation is related to the projection of cash inflows and outflows (including advance of turnover and gross profit). These projections are determined based on past performance and the management’s expectation of market development of the unit.

IX. EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

  • (1) On 7 March 2013, the “Resolution of the Company on Foreign Investment and Exercise of Call Options of the Foreign Company” has been considered and approved by the first extraordinary board meeting of the Company in 2013. The call options which have been granted to Weichai Power (Luxembourg) Holding S.à r.l. (“Weichai Lux”) include: (1) KION Call Option; and (2) Superlift Call Option. In order to allow the Board to have the flexibility in exercising the call options mentioned below, the Company proposes to ask its Shareholders in general meeting to approve in advance the exercise of the call options with the cap amount of EUR400,000,000.00 and to authorise the Board to exercise the full power to handle matters relating to the exercise of the call options.

(1) KION Call Option

Weichai Lux is entitled to require that Superlift Holding, S.a r.l. (“Superlift”) and Kion Management Beteiligungs GmbH & Co. KG (“KMB”) pass the relevant shareholders’ resolution so that KION issues new shares, such that Weichai Lux’s shareholding in KION would be increased to:

  • (i) 33.3% of KION’s total issued shares immediately after the completion of the initial public offering of the shares of KION (the “IPO”), if, prior to the allotment of KION shares to the investors of the IPO, Weichai Lux owns 28.3% or more of the total issued share capital of KION as a result of the exercise and completion of the Superlift Call Option; or

  • (ii) 30% of KION’s total issued shares immediately after completion of the IPO, if, prior to the allotment of KION shares to the investors of the IPO, Weichai Lux owns less than 28.3% of the total issued share capital of KION.

The exercise price equals to the lower of (i) a price per share determined on the basis of EUR467,000,000.00 (equivalent to the consideration paid for under the subscription of 25% of the issued shares in KION pursuant to the Acquisitions) plus any future capital contributions made by the shareholders of KION after the date of completion of the Acquisitions, and (ii) the price per share of KION under the IPO.

(2)

Superlift Call Option

Weichai Lux is entitled to purchase from Superlift such amount of shares of KION representing 3.3% of KION’s issued share capital at the time of the exercise. The Superlift Call Option is exercisable by Weichai Lux (i) at any time after 27 December 2012, being the date of completion of the Acquisitions, until 30 June 2013 or (ii) during any time within the three months after the completion of the IPO. The Superlift Call Option shall expire in any event at the end of 31 December 2015, if it has not been exercised and completed before that date.

The exercise price equals to the sum of (i) EUR61,644,000; and (ii) the prorate portion of the aggregate amount of any additional capital contribution, made to KION after the date of completion of the Acquisitions and up to the date of completion of the Superlift Call Option; and (iii) deducting therefrom the pro-rata portion of the aggregate amount of dividends or other distributions made by KION to its shareholders after the date of the completion of the Acquisitions and up to the date of exercise of the Superlift Call Option.

Pursuant to the shareholders’ agreement dated 27 December 2012 entered into among Weichai Lux, KION, Superlift and KMB (the “KION Shareholders’ Agreement”), in the event that Weichai Lux shall, upon the exercise of the KION Call Option and/or the Superlift Call Option, hold at least 33.3% of the issued share capital of KION after the completion of the IPO, and either Superlift or Weichai Lux desires to transfer any of its KION shares, the other relevant shareholder will be entitled to exercise a right of first offer to purchase such shares. Further, the parties under the KION Shareholders’ Agreement agreed that if following the completion of the IPO, Weichai Lux holds at least 33.3% of the

In addition, pursuant to the terms of the KION Shareholders’ Agreement, as soon as Weichai Lux holds 30% or more of the shares in KION, the parties shall take, within the given legal framework, all actions in order to ensure that two out of six shareholder representatives of the supervisory board of KION (the supervisory board consists of twelve members, six of them being shareholder representatives and six of them being employee representatives) are members who are nominated by Weichai Lux.

  • (2) On 21 March 2013, the dividend distribution budget for 2012 was considered and approved by the 3rd meeting of the 3rd session of the Board of the Company: the Company proposed to distribute a cash dividend of RMB2.30 for every 10 shares (including tax) based on the total share capital of 1,999,309,639 shares, without transfer from capital reserve.

3. Segment reporting

Operating segments

The Group organizes and manages its operating business in accordance with the nature of business and provision of products and services. Each operating segment of the Group is one operating group, providing products and services with risks and rewards different from those of other operating segments.

The details of operating segments are as follows:

  • (a) manufacturing and sale of diesel engines and related parts (“Diesel engines”);

  • (b) manufacturing and sale of automobiles and major automobile components other than diesel engines (“Automobiles and other major automobile components”);

  • (c) manufacturing and sale of other components (“Other components”);

  • (d) provision of import and export services (“Import & export services”).

Management monitors the results of operating segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resources allocation and performance assessment. Segment performance is evaluated based on reportable segment profit, which is a measure of adjusted total profits. The adjusted total profits are measured consistently with the Group’s total profits, except that interest income, finance expenses, dividend income, gains from changes in fair value of financial instruments as well as head office expenses are excluded from such measurement.

Segment assets exclude equity investments at fair value through profit or loss for the current period, derivative instruments, dividends receivable, interests receivable, available-for-sale financial assets, long-term equity investments, goodwill, deferred tax assets and other unallocated head office assets as these assets are managed on a group basis.

Segment liabilities exclude derivative instruments, borrowings, income tax payable, deferred tax liabilities and other unallocated head office liabilities as these liabilities are managed on a group basis.

Inter-segment transfers are transacted with reference to the prices used in the transactions carried out with third parties.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss on one party of a financial instrument due to the failure of another party to meet its obligations.

The Group trades only with recognized and creditworthy third parties. It is the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are subject to credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an ongoing basis to ensure that the Group’s exposure to bad debts is not significant. For transactions that are not denominated in the functional currency of the relevant operating unit, the Group does not offer credit terms without the specific approval of the Department of Credit Control in the Group.

The credit risk of the Group’s other financial assets, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, available-for-sale financial assets, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and other receivables, arises from default of the counterparty, with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying amounts of these instruments. The Group is also exposed to credit risk through the granting of financial guarantees, further details of which are disclosed in Note VII.

– 163 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The Group trades with its customers primarily on credit terms, and generally requires payment in advance or cash on delivery for new customers. Credit period is generally one month, extending up to six months for major customers. Customers with good trading record could be granted a longer credit period. Since the Group trades only with recognized and creditworthy third parties, there is no requirement for collateral. Concentrations of credit risk are managed by customer/counterparty, by geographical region and by industry sector. There are no significant concentrations of credit risk within the Group as the customer bases of the Group’s accounts receivable are widely dispersed in different sectors and industries. The Group’s maximum possible credit risk equals to the carrying amounts of accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheet. As at 31 December 2012, the Group has no significant concentrations of credit risk as 14.76% (31 December 2011: 22.28%) of the Group’s accounts receivable were receivables due from the top 5 customers.

Further quantitative data in respect of the Group’s exposure to credit risk arising from accounts receivable and other receivables are disclosed in Notes V.4 and 7.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that an enterprise may encounter deficiency of funds in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities.

The Group maintains balance between continuity and flexibility of capital through bank loans and debts to manage its liquidity risk.

The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity and flexibility of funding through the use of bank borrowings, bonds and other interest-bearing borrowings. As at 31 December 2012, 63.03% (31 December 2011: 87.48%) of the Group’s borrowings would mature in less than one year.

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

Market Risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market prices. It mainly includes interest rate risk, currency risk and other price risk, such as equity price risk.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates primarily relates to the Group’s financial instruments with a floating interest rate.

The table below is a sensitivity analysis of interest rate risk. It reflects the effects on the net profit (through the impact on floating interest rate of financial assets and liabilities) and equity, when there are reasonable and potential changes in interest rates, under the presumption that other variables remain unchanged.

RMB 5 (547,568.00) (547,568.00)
RMB (5) 547,568.00 547,568.00

Currency risk

Currency risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates. The Group’s exposure to currency risk mainly relates to its operating activities (when revenue and expenses are settled in a foreign currency that is different from the functional currency of the Group) and its net investments in overseas subsidiaries.

– 166 –

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity analysis of currency risk to a reasonably possible change in exchange rates, with all other variables held constant, of the net profit (due to changes in the fair value of monetary assets and liabilities) and equity. The currency risk of the Group does not involve shareholders’ equity other than retained earnings.

  • Excluding retained earnings.

Equity investment price risk

Equity investment price risk is the risk that the fair values of equity securities decrease as a result of changes in the levels of share indices and the value of individual securities. The Group was exposed to equity investment price risk arising from individual equity investments classified as available-for-sale equity investments (Note V.10) as at 31 December 2012. The Group held listed equity investments that are listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and NASDAQ and are valued at quoted market prices at the balance sheet date.

The market share indices for the following stock exchanges, at the close of business of the nearest trading day to the balance sheet date, and their respective highest and lowest closing points during the year were as follows:

31 2012 31 2011
December Highest/ December Highest/
2012 Lowest 2011 Lowest
Shanghai – A Share Index 2,376 2,578/2,052 2,304 3,202/2,269

APPENDIX I

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity of the Group’s net profit and equity to every 5% change in the fair values of the equity investments, with all other variables held constant (based on their carrying amounts at the balance sheet date). For the purpose of this sensitivity analysis, for the available-for-sale equity investments, the effect is deemed to be on the changes in fair values of available-for-sale equity investments and no account is given to factors such as impairment which might affect the income statement.

Fair value

Fair value is the amount for which an asset could be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm’s length transaction. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable, notes payable, accounts payable and short-term borrowings etc. approximate their carrying amounts due to the short term maturities of these instruments. The fair values of long-term borrowings and bonds payable approximate their carrying amount due to the similarity between the contracted interest rate and coupon rate and market interest rate.

The fair values of listed financial instruments are determined based on the quoted market prices.

The Group uses the following hierarchy for fair value measurement:

Level 1: fair values measured based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities available on the measurement date; Level 2: fair values measured by adjusting quoted prices of similar assets or liabilities from active markets available on the measurement date or quoted prices of identical or similar assets or liabilities from non-active markets; Level 3: fair values measured based on inputs used by market participants in the valuation of assets or liabilities when there is no available comparable market prices of identical or similar assets.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE GROUP

4. FINANCIAL AND TRADING PROSPECTS OF THE GROUP

The Company is cautiously optimistic about the development trend of its related industries in 2013 and expects to step up efforts in developing its technological reserves in areas including new energy sources, hybrid systems and automobile electronics, and proactively upgrade industrial-related technologies. The Company will further seek support from relevant State policies to push forward the implementation of development plans in relation to hydraulic components for construction machinery. In addition, the Company will, on a coordinated basis, further consider expanding the domestic and international markets and internationalising its business, and accelerate the coordinated development of its commercial vehicle segment, power chain segment and automobile component segment, in order to fully utilise the synergetic advantage of the brands, technology and resources of the domestic and overseas companies of the Group.

The exercise of the Call Options will enable the Company to increase its shareholding in KION to 33.3% after completion of the IPO, and further, the chairman of the supervisory board of KION and KION Group GmbH will be a board member designated by Weichai Lux.

The Company considers that such increase in the shareholding in KION serves as an indication of the Company’s further commitment on the development and long-term cooperation with KION.

5. MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE

The Directors confirmed that, as at the Latest Practicable Date, they are not aware of any material adverse change in the financial or trading position of the Group since 31 December 2012, being the date to which the latest published audited consolidated financial statements of the Company were made up.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. GENERAL

The registered office of KION Holding 1 GmbH is at Abraham-Lincoln-Strasse 21, 65189 Wiesbaden.

2. APPLICATION OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS

For the purpose of preparing and presenting the Financial Information for the Relevant Period, the KION Group has consistently adopted International Financial Reporting Standards (“ IFRS ”), which are effective for the accounting periods beginning on 1 January 2012 throughout the Relevant Periods.

At the date of this report, the following new and revised standards, amendments and interpretations are issued but are not yet effective. The KION Group has not early adopted these standards, amendments and interpretations.

2 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014.

  • 3 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015.

  • 4 Effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 July 2012.

The Executive Board anticipates that the application of the new and revised standards, amendments or interpretations, other than that set out below, will have no material impact on the Financial Information.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 issued in 2009 introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets. IFRS 9 amended in 2010 includes the requirements for the classification and measurement of financial liabilities and for derecognition.

Key requirements of IFRS 9 are described as follows:

  • All recognised financial assets that are within the scope of IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” are subsequently measured at amortised cost or fair value. Specifically, debt investments that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, and that have contractual cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal outstanding are generally measured at amortised cost at the end of subsequent accounting periods. All other debt investments and equity investments are measured at their fair values at the end of subsequent reporting periods. In addition, under IFRS 9, entities may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment (that is not held for trading) in other comprehensive income, with only dividend income generally recognised in profit or loss.

– 194 –

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

  • With regard to the measurement of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss, IFRS 9 requires that the amount of change in the fair value of the financial liability that is attributable to changes in the credit risk of that liability is presented in other comprehensive income, unless the recognition of the effects of changes in the liability’s credit risk in other comprehensive income would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss. Changes in fair value of financial liabilities attributable to changes in the financial liabilities’ credit risk are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. Under IAS 39, the entire amount of the change in the fair value of the financial liability designated as fair value through profit or loss was presented in profit or loss.

IFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015, with earlier application permitted. The Executive Board anticipates that the adoption of IFRS 9 in the future may have impact on amounts reported in respect of the KION Group’s available-for-sale financial assets which are currently stated at cost less impairment and will be measured at fair value upon adoption. Presently, it is not practicable to provide a reasonable estimate of that effect until a detailed review has been completed.

3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with IFRS. In addition, the Financial Information includes applicable disclosures required by the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange and by the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance.

The Financial Information has been prepared on the historical cost basis except for certain financial instruments that are measured at fair values, as explained in the accounting policies below. Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods.

The principal accounting policies adopted are as follows:

Basis of consolidation

The Financial Information includes all of the parent company’s subsidiaries. Intragroup balances, transactions, income and expenses, and gains and losses on intercompany transactions are eliminated in full. Deferred taxes are recognised on temporary differences resulting from consolidation entries.

Transactions with non-controlling interests are treated as transactions with the KION Group’s equity providers. Differences between the consideration paid for the acquisition of a non-controlling interest and the relevant proportion of the carrying amount of the subsidiary’s net assets are recognised directly in retained earning. Gains and losses arising from the sale of non-controlling interests are also recognised in retained earning, provided there is no change in control.

Associates and joint ventures that are material to the financial position and financial performance of the KION Group are accounted for using the equity method.

Total comprehensive income and expense of a subsidiary is attributed to the owners of KION and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Business combinations

Acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method. The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed on the acquisition date are recognised separately from goodwill, irrespective of the extent of any non-controlling interests. The identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are measured at their fair value. The amount recognised as goodwill is calculated as the amount by which the sum of the consideration transferred, the amount of non-controlling interests in the acquiree and the fair value of all previously held equity interest at the acquisition date exceeds the fair value of the group’s interest in the acquiree’s net assets. If the cost of acquisition is lower than the fair value of the acquiree’s net assets, the difference is recognised in income.

For each acquisition, the KION Group decides on a case-by-case basis whether the non-controlling interest in the acquiree is recognised at fair value or as a proportion of the net assets of the acquiree. The option to recognise non-controlling interests at fair value is not currently exercised. Consequently, non-controlling interests are recognised at the proportionate share of the fair value of the net assets attributable to them excluding goodwill.

– 195 –

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

For acquisitions achieved in stages, previously held equity interests are recognised at their fair value on the date the KION Group obtains control. The difference between their carrying amount and fair value is recognised in the profit and loss.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units.

Transaction costs are immediately recognised in the profit and loss. Contingent consideration elements are included at fair value at the date of acquisition when determining the purchase consideration. Contingent consideration elements may consist of equity instruments or financial liabilities. Depending on the classification, changes in their fair value are reflected in subsequent measurements.

Revenue recognition

Revenue is the fair value received for the sale of products and services and lease income (excluding VAT) after deduction of trade discounts and rebates. In accordance with IAS 18, revenue is recognised when it is sufficiently probable that a future economic benefit will flow to the KION Group and that benefit can be reliably measured. Additional criteria also apply, depending on each individual transaction, such as:

Sale of goods

With the exception of items classified as ‘sale with risk’, revenue from the sale of goods is recognised when the KION Group delivers goods to a customer, the goods are accepted by the customer and the flow of benefits to the KION Group is considered to be probable. If a customer is expected to accept goods but has yet to do so, the corresponding revenue is only recognised when the goods are accepted. Appropriate provisions are recognised for risks relating to the sale of goods. In the case of revenue from agreements classified as ‘sale with risk’, the revenue is deferred over the term of the agreement if the risks and rewards remain substantially with the KION Group. The term ‘sale with risk’ is discussed in the following section and under ‘Rental assets’ below.

Rendering of services

Revenue from rendering of services is recognised in the year in which the services are rendered. For services provided over several periods, revenue is recognised in accordance with the proportion of the total services rendered in each period (stage of completion). Unrealised revenue from long-term service agreements is therefore deferred over the average term of the agreements concerned and recognised in line with progressive cost trends.

Revenue from financial service transactions is recognised in the amount of the sales value of the leased asset if classified as a finance lease and in the amount of the lease payments if classified as an operating lease. As part of the financial services business, industrial trucks are also sold to finance partners who then enter into leases directly with the end customer (sale with risk). If significant risks and rewards remain with the KION Group as a result of an agreed residual value guarantee or as a result of an agreed default guarantee which result in the risks and rewards remain substantially with the KION Group, the proceeds from the sale are deferred and recognised as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term until the residual value guarantee or the default guarantee expires.

Interest income

Interest income is recognised proportionately in accordance with the effective interest method.

Royalties

Income from royalties is deferred in accordance with the substance of the relevant agreements and recognised pro rata.

Cost of sales

The cost of sales comprises the cost of goods and services sold and includes directly attributable material and labour costs as well as directly attributable overhead, including depreciation of production equipment and amortisation of certain intangible assets, as well as write-downs of inventories. Cost of sales also includes additions to warranty provisions, which are recognised in the amount of the estimated cost at the date on which the related product is sold.

– 196 –

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

Government grants

Government grants are recognised at fair value provided that the KION Group has satisfied the necessary conditions for receiving the grant. Grants not related to capital expenditures are recognised in the income statement, under other income, in the period in which the expense intended to be covered by the grant is incurred. Grants for capital expenditures are deducted from the cost of the asset concerned and result in a corresponding reduction in depreciation over the subsequent periods.

Financial income and expenses

Net financial income mainly consists of interest expense on financial liabilities, interest income from financial receivables, gains and losses on financial instruments recognised through profit or loss, exchange rate gains and losses on financial activities and the interest expense on pension provisions. The expected return on plan assets relating to pension provisions is also included in financial income.

Interest income and expense are recognised in profit and loss in accordance with the effective interest method.

The effective interest method is used for calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or financial liability and the allocation of interest income and interest expense over the relevant periods. The effective interest rate is the interest rate at which the estimated future payments (including all fees that are part of the effective interest rate, transaction costs and other premiums and discounts) are discounted to the net carrying amount of the financial asset or liability over the expected term of the financial instrument.

Dividends are recognised in income when a resolution on distribution has been passed. They are reported in the income statement under other financial income/expenses.

Goodwill

Goodwill has an indefinite useful life and is not amortised. Instead, it is tested for impairment in accordance with IAS 36 (‘Impairment of Assets’) at least once a year, and more frequently if there are indications that the asset might be impaired.

Impairment testing is performed at the level of the individual cash-generating units (CGUs) or groups of CGUs. A CGU is defined as the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets. CGUs are generally based on the lowest level of an entity at which – for internal management purposes – the management systematically monitors and controls the contribution to earnings made by the assets concerned, including goodwill. However, a CGU may not be larger than an operating segment as defined in IFRS 8 ‘Operating Segments’. In particular, CGUs are considered to be clearly defined and independent if the entity’s management has prepared independent forecasts relevant to decision-making for the individual CGUs.

For the purposes of internal and external reporting, the activities of the KION Group are broken down into the LMH, STILL, Financial services and Other segments on the basis of their characteristics and risk profile.

The relevant CGUs for the purpose of goodwill impairment testing are the LMH and STILL segments and the Voltas Material Handling Private Limited, Pune, India (referred to below as VHM) CGU, which is assigned to the Other segment, as the structure of the internal reporting and management system, including the decision-relevant forecasts by the KION Group, is based on these CGUs.

The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined by calculating its value in use on the basis of the discounted cash flow method. The cash flows used in the calculation are the operating cash flows taken from financial forecasts approved by KION’s management and also used for internal management purposes.

Other intangible assets

Other purchased intangible assets with a finite useful life are carried at cost less all cumulative amortisation and all cumulative impairment losses. If events or market developments suggest impairment has occurred, impairment tests are carried out on the carrying amount of items classified as other intangible assets with a finite useful life. The carrying amount of an asset is compared with its recoverable amount, which is defined as the higher of its value in use and its fair value net of costs to sell. If the reasons for recognising impairment losses in the past no longer apply, impairment losses not exceeding the amortised cost of the assets are reversed.

– 197 –

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

Other intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are carried at cost and are mainly capitalised brand names. Brand names are not amortised provided they have been established in the market for a number of years and there is no foreseeable end to their useful life. In accordance with IAS 36, they are tested for impairment at least once a year or whenever there are indications that the asset might be impaired. The impairment test is performed in the same way as the impairment test for goodwill. Assessments of indefinite useful life are carried out in each year.

The brand name of VMH is subject to an usage right with a contractually limited term and it will therefore be amortised over its useful life.

Development costs are capitalised if the following can be demonstrated:

  • the technical feasibility of the intangible asset;

  • the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

  • the ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

  • the extent to which the intangible asset is expected to generate future economic benefits;

  • the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

  • the ability to reliably measure the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

Capitalised development costs include all costs and overhead directly attributable to the development process. Once they have been initially capitalised, these costs and internally generated intangible assets – particularly internally generated software – are carried at cost less cumulative amortisation and cumulative impairment losses. Internally generated intangible assets are not qualifying assets so finance costs are not capitalised. All non-qualifying research and development costs are expensed as incurred and reported on the income statement under research and development costs together with the amortisation on capitalised development costs.

Leases/rental

KION Group companies lease equipment, mainly various industrial trucks, to their customers in order to promote sales. The leases may be of a short-term nature (short-term rental) or long-term nature (leasing).

Companies in the KION Group enter into leases as lessors and as lessees. In line with IAS 17, these contracts are classified as finance leases if substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the leased/rental asset are transferred to the lessee. All other leases and rental transactions are classified as operating leases, again in accordance with IAS 17.

If a KION Group company enters into a finance lease as the lessor, the future lease payments to be paid by the lessee are recognised as lease receivables at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease. Interest income is allocated to each reporting period in order to ensure a constant return on the outstanding net investment in the lease.

Leased assets

If the economic ownership of leased assets remains with a KION Group company as the lessor under an operating lease, the assets are reported as leased assets in a separate item on the face of the statement of financial position. The leased assets are carried at cost and depreciated over the term of the underlying leases. Lease-related income is recognised on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases.

In the case of these long-term leases, industrial trucks are generally sold to leasing companies. The industrial trucks are then leased back to companies in the KION Group, who sub-lease them to customers (described below as ’sale and leaseback sub-leases’). Long-term leases generally have a term of four to five years. If, in the case of sale and leaseback sub-leases, the risks and rewards incidental to the head lease are substantially borne by KION Group companies, the corresponding assets are reported as non-current leased assets. If substantially the risks

– 198 –

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

and rewards are transferred to the end customer, a corresponding lease receivable is recognised. Long-term customer leases are funded for terms that match those of the leases; funding items are recognised as lease liabilities.

Rental assets

Rental assets are assets resulting from short-term rentals in relation to which significant risks and rewards remain with the KION Group despite having been sold (’sale with risk’).

In the case of short-term rentals, LMH and STILL brand companies rent industrial trucks to customers directly. Short-term rental agreements usually have a term of one day to one year. The significant risks and rewards remain with the LMH and STILL brand companies.

As part of ’sale with risk’ business, industrial trucks are sold to finance partners who then enter into leases with end customers. If LMH and STILL brand companies provide material residual value guarantees or a customer default guarantee, these transactions, which are classified as sale agreements under civil law, are recognised in accordance with the provisions on lessors with operating leases in conjunction with the IFRS principles for revenue recognition. In this case, the trucks are recognised as assets in the statement of financial position at their cost on the date of the sale and written down to their guaranteed residual value, or zero, over the term of the lease between the finance partner and end customer. If the KION Group provides a residual value guarantee, an amount equivalent to the residual value obligation is recognised under other financial liabilities. The purchase consideration paid by the finance partner is recognised as deferred income and released to revenue on a pro rata basis over the term of the lease between the finance partner and the end customer.

Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less straight-line depreciation and impairment losses. The cost of internally generated machinery and equipment includes all costs directly attributable to the production process and an appropriate portion of production overhead. This includes production-related depreciation and proportionate costs for administration and social insurance/employee benefits.

The cost of property, plant and equipment is reduced by the amount of any government grants received. Expenses for maintenance and repairs are recognised in income to the extent that they are not required to be capitalised. Borrowing costs are capitalised for certain items of property, plant and equipment whose acquisition or production exceeds one year and the definition of a qualifying asset is met. As was the case in 2011 and 2012, there were no qualifying assets for each of the Relevant Periods.

Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognised on a straight-line basis and reported in functional costs. The useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed annually and adjusted to reflect changes in conditions.

KION Group companies also lease property, plant and equipment for their own use using finance leases, which are recognised as property, plant and equipment. In this case, the lower of the fair value and present value of future lease payments is recognised at the inception of the lease. A corresponding liability to the lessor is recognised under other financial liabilities in the statement of financial position.

Property, plant and equipment covered by finance leases is depreciated over the shorter of its useful life or the term of the lease, unless title to the leased assets passes to the lessee when the lease expires, in which case the property, plant and equipment is depreciated and the other financial liabilities are reversed over the useful life of the leased assets.

The difference between total finance lease liabilities and the fair value of the financed leased assets represents the finance charge which is recognised in the income statement over the term of the lease at a constant rate of interest on the outstanding balance in each period. At the end of the lease term, the leased assets are either returned or purchased, or the contract is extended.

If there are certain indications of impairment, property, plant and equipment assets are tested for impairment by comparing the residual carrying amount of the assets with their recoverable amount, which is defined as the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell. If the residual carrying amount is greater than the recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised for the asset.

– 199 –

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

The KION Group calculates the recoverable amount primarily on the basis of value in use. In determining value in use, the expected future cash flows are discounted using a risk-adjusted discount rate, taking into account the current and future level of earnings and segment-specific, technological, economic and general trends.

If an impairment test for an item of property, plant and equipment is performed at the level of a cash-generating unit to which goodwill is allocated and results in the recognition of an impairment loss, first the goodwill and, subsequently, the assets must be written down in proportion to their relative carrying amounts. If the reason for an impairment loss recognised in prior years no longer applies, impairment losses not exceeding the amortised cost of the asset concerned are reversed. This does not apply to goodwill.

Equity investments

In accordance with the equity method, associates and joint ventures are measured as the proportion of the interest in the equity of the investee. They are initially carried at cost. In subsequent periods, the KION Group’s interest in the profit or loss generated after acquisition is recognised in income. Other changes in the equity of associates and joint ventures are recognised in other comprehensive income (loss) in the consolidated financial statements in proportion to the KION Group’s interest in the associate or joint venture.

If the KION Group’s interest in the losses made by an associate or joint venture exceeds the carrying amount of the proportionate equity attributable to the KION Group, no additional losses are recognised. Any goodwill arising from the acquisition of an associate or joint venture is included in the carrying amount of the investment in the associate or joint venture. When an associate or joint venture is sold, the KION Group’s interest in its goodwill is taken into account in determining the gain or loss on disposal.

If there is evidence that an associate or joint venture may be impaired, the carrying amount of the investment in question is tested for impairment.

Other financial assets

The investments in non-consolidated affiliated companies and (long-term) equity investments that are reported in other non-current financial assets are carried at cost less impairment losses, as observable fair values are not available and reliable results cannot be obtained using other permitted measurement techniques. At present there is no intention to sell these financial instruments. At each reporting date, financial assets or groups of financial assets are tested for impairment. Impairment losses are recognised in income as appropriate.

Primary financial assets are initially recognised and derecognised in the financial statements on their settlement dates.

Under IAS 39 (‘Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement’), securities allocated to current or non-current financial assets are classified according to those carried at fair value through profit and loss (FAHfT), available for sale (AfS) and held to maturity (HtM).

The KION Group did not designate any securities as carried at fair value through profit and loss (FAHfT) in the Relevant Periods. The FAHfT category therefore only includes financial derivatives that do not form part of a formally documented hedge.

Available-for-sale financial instruments (AfS) are carried at fair value. Equity investments for which no market price is available, are recorded at cost. Unrealised gains and losses, including deferred taxes, are reported in other comprehensive income (loss) until they are realised.

In the first period they are recognised, other financial assets which are categorised as loans and receivables (’LaR’) are carried at fair value including directly attributable transaction costs. In subsequent periods they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Appropriate valuation allowances are recognised for identifiable individual risks. Low-interest or non-interest-bearing receivables due in more than one year are carried at their present value.

Carrying amounts are tested for impairment on every reporting date and whenever indications of impairment arise. If there is an objective indication of impairment (such as a borrower being in significant financial difficulties), an impairment loss must be recognised directly in the income statement.

If objective facts in favour of reversing impairment losses are present on the reporting date, reversals are recognised in an appropriate amount. Reversals may not exceed the amortised cost that would have been

– 200 –

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

recorded if the impairment loss had not been recognised. In the case of debt instruments, reversals of impairment losses are recognised in the income statement.

Held-to-maturity financial assets are carried at amortised cost less impairment losses in accordance with the effective interest method.

Income taxes

In the consolidated financial statements, current and deferred taxes are recognised on the basis of the tax laws of the jurisdictions involved. Deferred taxes are recognised in other comprehensive income (loss) if they relate to transactions also recognised in other comprehensive income (loss).

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in accordance with the liability method for all temporary differences between the IFRS carrying amounts and the tax base, as well as for temporary consolidation measures.

Deferred tax assets also include tax refund claims that arise from the expected utilisation of existing tax loss carryforwards and interest carryforwards in subsequent years and whose utilisation is reasonably certain according to current forecasts. On the basis of this estimate, deferred tax assets were recognised on certain interest carryforwards for the first time in 2010.

Deferred taxes are determined on the basis of the tax rates that will apply or are expected to apply at the realisation date in accordance with the current legal situation in each country concerned. In accordance with the provisions in IAS 12, deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted.

Deferred tax assets are offset against deferred tax liabilities to the extent that they have the same maturity and relate to the same taxation authority.

Inventories

Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

The acquisition costs of raw materials and merchandise are calculated on the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes direct costs and an appropriate portion of the material and production overhead and production-related depreciation directly attributable to the production process. Administrative costs and social insurance/employee benefits are included to the extent that they are attributable to the production process. Borrowing costs as defined by IAS 23 are not a component of cost as inventories are not qualifying assets as defined by IAS 23.4. Cost of inventories are recognised is an average value or a value determined in accordance with the FIFO method.

Net realisable value is the selling price that can be realised less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

Write-downs are recognised for inventory risks resulting from duration of storage, impaired recoverability, etc. Write-downs are reversed up to a maximum of cost if the reasons for their recognition no longer apply.

Receivables

In the first period they are recognised, receivables and other assets are carried at fair value including directly attributable transaction costs. In subsequent periods they are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. Appropriate valuation allowances are recognised for identifiable individual risks. Low-interest or non-interest-bearing receivables due in more than one year are carried at their present value.

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments comprise currency forwards and interest-rate swaps and are used for hedging purposes to mitigate exchange-rate and interest-rate risks.

In accordance with IAS 39 (Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement), all derivative financial instruments are measured at their fair value irrespective of an entity’s purpose or intention in entering into the derivative contract. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments in a formally documented hedge are reported in the income statement (for fair value hedges) or in other comprehensive income (loss) (for cash flow hedges).

– 201 –

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

Hedge accounting

The KION Group currently only uses cash flow hedges for exchange-rate and interest-rate risks.

At the inception of the hedging relationship the KION Group documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, along with its risk management objectives and its strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Furthermore, at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, the KION Group documents whether the hedging instrument that is used in a hedging relationship is highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of the hedged item.

In the case of cash flow hedges, derivatives are employed to hedge future cash flow risks from existing underlying transactions or planned transactions. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives is initially recognised in other comprehensive income (loss). The ineffective portion of the changes in fair value is recognised immediately in net financial income/expenses.

Amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity (hedging reserve) are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item is recognised in profit or loss, in the same line of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income as the recognised hedged item. However, when the hedged forecast transaction results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the gains and losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity are transferred from equity and included in the initial measurement of the cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability.

If the criteria for hedge accounting are not satisfied, changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognised in the income statement.

In the case of hedges of net investments in foreign subsidiaries, the translation risks resulting from investments with a different functional currency are hedged. Unrealised gains and losses on hedging instruments are reported in other comprehensive income (loss) until the investment is sold. In the past financial year, KION Group companies have not entered into any hedges for net investments in foreign subsidiaries.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the KION Group revokes the hedging relationship, the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any gain or loss recognised in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity at that time remains in equity and is recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in profit or loss. When a forecast transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in equity is recognised immediately in profit or loss.

Further information on risk management and accounting for derivative financial instruments can be found under note 39.

Retirement benefit obligation

The retirement benefit obligation is calculated in accordance with the projected unit credit method. Future pension obligations are measured on the basis of the pro rata vested benefit entitlements as at the reporting date and discounted to their present value. The calculations include assumptions about future changes in certain parameters, such as expected salary and pension increases and biometric factors affecting the amount of future benefits. Pension provisions are reduced by the fair value of the plan assets used to cover the KION Group’s benefit obligations. Plan assets are measured at fair value.

Actuarial gains and losses, including deferred taxes, are recognised in other comprehensive income (loss). The cost of additions to pension provisions is allocated to functional costs. The interest cost on pension obligations and the expected return on plan assets are reported in net financial income/expenses. Further details can be found in note 31.

Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the KION Group has a legal or constructive obligation to a third party as the result of a past event that is probable to lead to a future outflow of resources and that can be reliably estimated. A provision is recognised in the amount of the mean of the range of probabilities. Measurement includes indirect and direct costs.

– 202 –

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

Provisions for identifiable risks and contingent liabilities are recognised in the amount that represents the best estimate of the cost required to settle the obligations existing on the reporting date. Recourse claims are not taken into account. The settlement amount also includes estimated future cost increases as of the reporting date. Provisions with a maturity of more than twelve months are discounted using the standard market interest rate. The discount rate is a before-tax rate that reflects current market expectations for the time value of money and the specific risks inherent in the liability. Accrued interest is recognised in interest expense.

Warranty provisions are recognised on the basis of past or estimated future claim statistics. Individual provisions are recognised for claims that are known to the KION Group. The corresponding expense is recognised in cost of sales at the date on which the revenue is recognised.

Provisions for expected losses from onerous contracts and other business obligations are measured on the basis of the work yet to be performed.

A restructuring provision is recognised when a KION Group company has prepared a detailed, formal restructuring plan and this plan has raised a valid expectation in those affected that the company will carry out the restructuring by starting to implement that plan or announcing its main features to those affected by it. The measurement of a restructuring provision only includes the direct expenditures arising from the restructuring and not associated with the ongoing activities of the company concerned.

Shareholder loan, financial liabilities, other financial liabilities, trade payables

These liabilities are initially recognised at fair value at the time they are entered into. Directly attributable transaction costs are deducted for all financial liabilities that are not subsequently designated as at fair value through profit or loss.

The shareholder loan, non-current financial liabilities and other financial liabilities are then carried at amortised cost. Any differences between historical cost and the settlement amount are recognised in accordance with the effective interest method.

4. KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the KION Group’s accounting policies, which are described in note 3, management is required to make estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the year in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that year or in the year of the revision and future years if the revision affects both current and future periods.

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting period, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.

Impairment on goodwill

Goodwill is tested for impairment annually at the level of the cash-generating unit to which goodwill is allocated, by considering the KION Group’s three-year planning combined with the growth forecasts for the subsequent two years thereafter and assuming division-specific growth rates for the period thereafter. Any material changes to these factors might result in the recognition of impairment losses. Further information on goodwill can be found in note 17.

Defined benefit pension obligations

Defined benefit pension obligations are calculated on the basis of actuarial parameters. As differences due to actuarial gains and losses are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), any change in these parameters would not affect the net profit for the Relevant Periods. For further details about sensitivity analysis of the impact of certain assumptions, please refer to the information about provisions in note 31.

Income tax expense

Significant estimates are involved in calculating provisions for tax. These estimates may change on the basis of new information and experience. Where necessary, the KION Group’s accounting departments receive assistance from external legal advisers and tax consultants when making the estimates required.

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

Other provisions

The recognition and measurement of other provisions is based on an estimate taking into consideration the probability of the future outflow of resources, supplemented by past experience and the circumstances known to the KION Group at the reporting date. Accordingly, the actual outflow of resources for a given event may be different from the amount recognised in other provisions. Further details can be found in note 34.

Valuation of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets on tax loss carryforwards and interest carryforwards are recognised on the basis of an estimate of the future recoverability of the tax benefit, i.e. an assumption as to whether sufficient taxable income or tax relief will be available against which the carried forwards can be utilised. The actual amount of taxable income in future periods, and hence the actual utilisation of tax loss carryforwards and interest carryforwards, may be different from the estimates made when the corresponding deferred tax assets were recognised.

5. REVENUE

Revenue represents revenue arising on sale of industrial trucks, rental business and leasing, and after sales services income for the Relevant Periods. An analysis of the KION Group’s revenue for the Relevant Periods is as follows:

6. SEGMENT INFORMATION

IFRS 8 specifies the ‘management approach’ for defining operating segments. Under this approach, the internal reports that are regularly used by the chief operating decision-maker to make decisions on the allocation of resources to a segment and to assess the performance of a segment are used as the basis for determining the operating segments. The chief operating decision-maker in the KION Group is the Executive Board.

The Executive Board has divided the KION Group into four segments namely the Linde Material Handling Brand (“LMH”), STILL Brand (“STILL”), Financial Service (“FS”) and Other.

LMH

LMH brand comprises the group entities dealing with the material-handling products under the Linde, Fenwick and Baoli brands.

STILL

The STILL brand comprises the group entities dealing with the forklifts, warehouse handling equipment and tow tractors and pioneering material flow services under STILL and OM brands.

FS

The purpose of the FS segment is to act as an internal partner for the brand segments, providing finance solutions that promote sales. The FS activities include internal financing of short-term rental fleets, the financing of long-term leasing business for KION Group customers, and risk management. When long-term leasing business is being conducted, FS operates as a contractual partner to external customers and provides the necessary funding in conjunction with external financial partners. When short-term business is being transacted, FS’s contractual relationship is with the LMH and STILL brand segments or with the external financial partners.

– 204 –

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

Besides management of residual-value risk, risk management also includes the credit risk management system, which was refined as part of the work involved in transferring financial services activities to a separate segment. Transactions with other segments are presented in the same way as business conducted on an arm’s-length basis. The regular (interest) margin income that FS generates from its business activities reflects prevailing market conditions. Surpluses from leasing that exceed this interest rate are reflected in the producer margin within the operating profit generated by the LMH and STILL brand segments.

Other

The ‘Other’ segment comprises the companies operating under the Voltas brand as well as companies engaged in investment holding and provision of service in the KION Group.

Segment revenue and results

The basis for segment reporting on financial performance is a presentation based on data from continuing operations and excluding non-recurring items. In addition to the above items, other net financial income/expenses and the share of profit (loss) of equity investments are also excluded from the performance indicator segment results.

The non-recurring items mainly comprise severance payments, social plan costs, costs relating to the planned transfers of production and consultancy costs. Also non-recurring items for the year ended 31 December 2011 and 2012 included the changes in purchase consideration in respect of acquisition of subsidiaries in prior years and the remeasurement of an existing equity investment in an entity, over which a controlling influence can be exerted following the acquisition of additional shares. In addition, non-recurring items for the year ended 31 December 2012 also include the gain from disposal of the controlling interest in Linde Hydraulics (note 45(d)). The KION acquisition items comprise a net writedown on the fair value adjustments identified as part of the purchase price allocation (PPA).

Segment reports are prepared in accordance with the same accounting policies as the Financial Information, as described in note 3.

Intra-segment transactions are generally conducted on an arm’s length basis.

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

The current corporate income tax rate in Germany is 15.0%. Taking into account the average trade tax rate of 13.9% and the solidarity surcharge (5.5% of corporate income tax), the combined tax rate for companies in Germany was 29.8% during the year ended 31 December 2010 and 2011, and 29.9% during the year ended 31 December 2012.

The income tax rates for foreign companies used in the calculation of deferred taxes are between 10.0% and 37.8% for the year ended 31 December 2010, 10.0% and 38.5% for the year ended 31 December 2011 and 10.0% and 38.1% for the year ended 31 December 2012.

The table below shows the reconciliation of expected income tax credit (expense) to effective income tax credit (expense). The KION Group reconciliation is an aggregation of the individual company-specific reconciliations prepared in accordance with relevant local tax rates. The expected tax rate applied in the reconciliation is at 29.8% for the year ended 31 December 2010 and 2011, and 29.9% for the year ended 31 December 2012.

During the year ended 31 December 2011, the goodwill of C14,700,000 arising from the acquisition of the forklift truck and warehouse technology business of Voltas Limited, Mumbai, India, has been allocated to the ‘Other’ segment. The carrying value of this goodwill was reduced to C13,915,000 at 31 December 2011 after the exchange adjustments on consolidation.

The recoverable amount of a CGU is determined by calculating its value in use on the basis of the discounted cash flow method. The cash flows used in the calculation are the operating cash flows taken from financial forecasts approved by KION’s management and also used for internal management purposes. The cash flows forecast for the next five years are included in the calculation for the impairment test. The financial forecasts are based on assumptions relating to the development of the global economy, commodity prices and exchange rates. The budget for next year, the medium-term planning for the next second and third years and the market forecasts for the next fourth and fifth years were used to determine the cash flows. Cash flows beyond the five-year planning horizon were extrapolated for the LMH and STILL CGUs using a growth rate of 1% for each of the Relevant Periods. A growth rate of 2 per cent for VMH (the forklift truck and warehouse technology business of Voltas Limited) for the Relevant Periods was used for determining cash flows into perpetuity to reflect forecasted trends for the high-growth market of India.

– 215 –

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

CGU cash flows are discounted using a discount rate based on a weighted average cost of capital (“WACC”) as adjusted for current market assessments of the specific risks to individual CGUs. The underlying capital structure for the LMH and STILL CGUs is determined by comparing peer group companies in the same sector. The major assumptions used are as follows:

At 31 December
2010 2011 2012
Beta factor derived from the peer group 1.09 1.03 1.08
Yield curve data from the European Central Bank 3.45% 3.40% 2.5%
Market risk premium taken from empirical studies of the
capital markets by the Institute of Public Auditors in
Germany (“IDW”) 5.5% 5.5% 6.0%
Country risk premium
LMH 0.0% 0.0% 0.2%
STILL 0.0% 0.0% 0.5%
The risk-adjusted cost of borrowing before tax 5.5% 5.3% 4.4%
Leverage ratio 32.2% 25.4% 22.7%
Pre-tax interest rate for:
LMH 10.3% 10.5% 10.7%
STILL 10.3% 10.4% 11.0%

To determine the country-specific WACC for VMH, the following assumptions are used:

2010 2011 2012
Leverage beta NA 1.10 1.07
Risk-free interest rate for India NA 7.3% 8.7%
Market risk premium derived from empirical data of the
capital markets NA 5.5% 6.0%
Country risk premium NA 2.3% 3.0%
The risk-adjusted cost of borrowing before tax NA 11.3% 10.6%
Leverage ratio NA 25.4% 22.7%
Pre-tax interest rate for VMH NA 14.6% 21.5%

A country risk premium was not taken into consideration for the LMH and STILL CGUs because the KION Group mainly operates in the European market, except that of 2012 which considered the country risk relating to the KION Group’s operation outside European market.

Based on the assessment of the Executive Board, no impairment on the goodwill was required during the Relevant Periods.

To implement long-term structural and efficiency measures, KION Group announced the consolidation of its European production sites which included the closing the plants in Bari, Italy and Montataire, France during the year ended 31 December 2011 (“Production Transfer”). The production capacity of these plants was shifted to other production facilities with the aim of improving the capacity utilisation of the European plants. The Executive Board assessed the recoverable amount of the development costs attributable to these two plants amounting to C10,236,000 were fully impaired. The impairment losses related to the STILL segment.

Impairment losses of C4,825,000 were recognised on these assets during the year ended 31 December 2012 to reflect the lack of opportunities to use them in future as a result of the planned closure of production sites. Of this amount, C4,741,000 relates to capitalised development costs. The impairment losses related to the LMH segment.

Sundry intangible assets relate primarily to the intangible assets identified through the purchase price allocation for the acquisition of the KION Group, such as the customer base.

Years
Buildings 10-25
Plant and machinery 6-15
Office furniture and equipment 3-15

Land and buildings in the amount of C12,293,000, C12,168,000 and C4,244,000 respectively at 31 December 2010, 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2012 were largely pledged as collateral for accrued retirement benefits under partial retirement agreements.

As a result of the announced Production Transfer set out in Note 18, the Executive Board has assessed the recoverable amount of the property, plant and equipment in the related plants. An amount of C8,796,000 related to land and buildings and an amount of C7,975,000 to plant and machinery as well as office furniture and equipment which would not be moved to other European plants under the announced Production Transfer were considered to be fully impaired and accordingly impairment losses of C16,771,000 was recognised during the year ended 31 December 2011. The impairment losses related to the STILL segment.

The KION Group recognised impairment losses of C16,309,000 in 2012, predominantly in connection with the planned closure of production sites. Of this amount, C12,347,000 related to land and buildings, and C3,962,000 to plant and machinery as well as office furniture and equipment. The impairment losses related to the LMH segment.

Pension assets relate to asset surpluses from defined benefit plans. As at the end of reporting period, the present values of defined benefit obligations are netted against the fair value of plan assets. If the plan assets exceed the obligation, this results in an asset.

The sundry financial assets essentially include receivables from value added tax amounting to C20,864,000, C21,782,000 and C37,178,000, respectively as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012.

Other financial assets include non-derivative financial receivables amounting to C35,416,000, C36,237,000 and C35,236,000, respectively as of the end of each Relevant Periods that fall within the scope of IFRS 7.

The non-current derivative financial instruments include the put option on the remaining shares in Linde Hydraulics amounting C19,740,000 at 31 December 2012.

25. DEFERRED TAXATION

Deferred taxes are recognised for temporary differences between the tax base and the carrying amounts. Deferred taxes are determined on the basis of the tax rates that will apply or are expected to apply at the realisation date in accordance with the current legal situation in each country concerned.

During the years ended 31 December 2011 and 2012, no deferred taxes have been recognised on differences of C100,146,000 and C96,090,000, respectively, between the carrying amounts and the tax base for equity investments in the subsidiaries (outside basis differences) because the KION Group is in a position to manage the timing of the reversal of temporary differences and there are no plans to dispose of investments in the foreseeable future.

Before accepting any new customer, the KION Group assesses the potential customer’s credit quality and defines its credit limits based on the findings from background search of the customers and the historical payment records. The trade receivables that are neither past due nor impaired are mainly due from those customers which have long-term relationship with the KION Group and the repayment history of these customers were good.

Information relating to receivables which are past due but not impaired are set out in note 39(b).

Information relating to movements of allowance on doubtful receivables are set out in note 38(b).

29. DEFICIT/EQUITY ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE EQUITY HOLDER OF KION

Subscribed capital and capital reserve

At the end of each reporting period, the KION’s subscribed capital was fully contributed and amounted to C500,000.

Also, as at the end of each reporting period, capital reserve amounted to C348,483,000 which was resulted from a capital contribution by a shareholder.

Capital contribution for carrying out the approved capital increase

In December 2012 the shareholders’ meeting of KION approved a resolution to increase the capital by C779,000 to C1,279,000. The Company assumed a share of C320,000 as part of this capital increase and, on 27 December 2012, paid in the associated capital contribution, including a premium, of C467,000,000 in cash. The remaining share of C459,000 was taken by the current shareholder Superlift and was also paid on 27 December 2012 through capitalisation of a shareholder loan (non-cash capital contribution) amounting to C670,784,000.

The capital increase was entered in the commercial register on 14 January 2013. The capital contributions paid by the Company and Superlift were therefore recognised in equity under the line item ’Capital contributions for carrying out the approved capital increase’ as at 31 December 2012.

Retained earnings

The development of retained earnings is shown in the consolidated statement of changes in equity.

The retained earnings comprise the net loss for the financial year and past contributions to earnings by the consolidated companies, provided they have not been distributed.

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) includes the currency translation differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries, the effects of the fair value measurement of

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

derivative financial instruments designated in cash flow hedge relationships, the KION’s proportionate share of other comprehensive income adjustments related to equity investments, and the actuarial gains and losses in connection with defined benefit pension obligations.

30. SHAREHOLDER LOAN

KION and Superlift signed an agreement on a shareholder loan for the amount of C500,000,000 on 27 December 2006. The last maturity date for repayment of the loan was most recently stipulated as 31 December 2021. The loan principal and the associated interest are both unsecured and are repayable on the due date. The interest rate was fixed at 5.5% per annum effective from 1 September 2007 and is payable on the outstanding loan principal. The outstanding principal and interest amounting to C670,784,000 was capitalised as a subscription of new capital issued as set out in Note 29.

31. RETIREMENT BENEFIT OBLIGATION

The retirement benefit obligation is recognised for obligations to provide current and future post-employment benefits. Post-employment benefit plans are classified as either defined benefit plans or defined contribution plans, depending on the substance of the plan as derived from its principal terms and conditions.

Defined contribution plans

In the case of defined-contribution pension plans, the KION Group pays contributions to government or private pension insurance providers based on statutory or contractual provisions, or on a voluntary basis. The KION Group does not enter into any obligations above and beyond the payment of contributions to an external pension fund. The amount of future benefits is based solely on the amount of the contributions paid by the employer (and in some cases the beneficiaries themselves) to the external pension fund, including income from the investment of these contributions. The total expense arising from defined contribution plans amounted to C48,867,000, C56,118,000 and C63,895,000, respectively, for the year ended 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012. Of this total, contributions paid by employers into government-run plans amounted to C46,480,000, C53,337,000 and C59,682,000, respectively, for the year ended 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012. The defined contribution plan expense is reported within the functional costs.

Defined benefit plans

The KION Group currently grants pensions to almost all employees in Germany and a number of foreign employees. These pensions consist of fixed benefit entitlements and are therefore reported as defined benefit plans in accordance with IFRS. For all of the significant defined benefit plans within the KION Group, the benefits granted to employees are determined on the basis of their individual income, i.e. either directly or by way of intermediate benefit arrangements.

Pension provisions are recognised to cover obligations arising from the current and future pension entitlements of active and former employees of the KION Group and their surviving dependants.

Some of KION Group’s pension obligations in Germany are financed by way of contractual trust arrangements (CTAs). In the United Kingdom, Switzerland and the Netherlands, significant plan assets are invested in external pension funds with restricted access.

In the case of defined benefit plans, the beneficiaries are granted a specific benefit by the KION Group or an external pension fund. Due to future salary increases, the benefit entitlement at the retirement age of the beneficiary is likely to be higher than the amount granted at the reporting date. Pensions are often adjusted after an employee reaches retirement age. The amount of the KION Group’s obligation, which is defined as the actuarial present value of the obligation to provide the level of benefits currently earned by each beneficiary, is expressed as the present value of the defined benefit obligation, which includes adjustments for future salary and pension increases.

The actuarial valuation of plan assets and the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out for the Relevant Periods by Merss Towers Watson. The present value of the defined benefit obligation, the related current service cost and past service cost were measured by using the projected unit credit method.

Measurement assumptions

The discount rate used to calculate the defined benefit obligation at each reporting date is determined on the basis of current capital market data and long-term assumptions about future salary and pension increases in

– 230 –

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

accordance with the best estimate principle. These assumptions vary depending on the economic conditions affecting the currency in which benefit obligations are denominated and in which fund assets are invested, as well as capital market expectations.

Benefit obligations are calculated on the basis of current mortality probabilities as determined in accordance with actuarial principles. The calculations also include assumptions about future employee turnover based on employee age and years of service and about the probability of retirement. The defined benefit obligation of different regions in which the group entities operate is calculated on the basis of the following weighted-average assumptions as at the reporting date:

United Kingdom United Kingdom United Kingdom
Germany (“UK”) Other
2010 2011 2012 2010 2011 2012 2010 2011 2012
Discount rate 5.45% 5.65% 3.50% 5.45% 4.85% 4.35% 4.15% 4.01% 2.57%
Rate of remuneration increase 2.75% 2.75% 2.75% 4.17% 4.18% 4.17% 2.28% 2.31% 2.36%
Rate of pension increase 1.75% 1.75% 1.75% 3.65% 3.18% 2.94% 0.76% 0.38% 0.26%

The assumed discount rate is determined on the basis of the yield as at the reporting date on investment-grade, fixed-interest corporate bonds with maturities that match the expected maturities of the pension obligations. Pension obligations in foreign companies are calculated on a comparable basis taking into account any countryspecific requirements.

The expected return on plan assets is determined on the basis of the plan’s policy regarding the asset classes in which it invests. Expected returns are based on the current yields on government bonds with corresponding maturities, adjusted for specific credit spreads for the different asset classes. The expected return on plan assets is recognised as income in the relevant period. The differences between expected and actual income on plan assets represent experience adjustments and are recognised in other comprehensive income in the year in which they arise.

The rate of remuneration increase relates to expected future increases in salaries, which are estimated on an annual basis taking into account factors such as inflation and the overall economic situation.

The mortality rates used in the calculation are based on published country-specific statistics and empirical values. Since 31 December 2009, the modified Heubeck 2005 G mortality tables have been used in Germany as the basis; the modified tables include a somewhat higher life expectancy for males than the unmodified tables.

The actuarial assumptions not listed in the table above, such as employee turnover, invalidity, etc., are determined in accordance with recognised forecasts in each country, taking into account the circumstances and forecasts of the companies concerned.

The assumptions applied in calculating the defined benefit obligation as at 31 December 2010, 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2012 also apply to the calculation of the interest cost and the cost of pension entitlements arising in the current year (current service cost).

Differences between the forecast and actual change in the defined benefit obligation and changes in related assets (actuarial gains and losses) are recognised immediately in other comprehensive income. This serves to ensure that the pension liability on the face of the statement of financial position is always the actuarial present value of obligations not funded by plan assets.

In the case of external pension funds, the actuarial present value of the pension obligations, as calculated in accordance with the projected unit credit method, is reduced by the fair value of the assets of the external pension funds. If the assets of the external pension funds exceed the pension obligations, the recognition of an asset for this excess of pension plan assets over pension obligations is only permitted if the company concerned is entitled to receive a refund of this excess or a reduction in future contributions in its function as the employer responsible for the benefits under the plan. If pension obligations are not covered by the assets of an external pension fund, the net obligation is reported in pension provisions.

Plan assets for the defined benefit plans in the UK exceed the pension obligations. The requirements which limit the asset to be recognised on the statement of financial position do not apply.

The increase in the present value of the defined benefit obligations arising from actuarial losses during the year ended 31 December 2010 and 2012 is largely attributable to the low discount rates for Germany pension plans as compared to those of previous years.

The reduction in the present value of the defined benefit obligations arising from actuarial gains during the year ended 31 December 2011 relate to the year-over-year increase in the discount rates applicable to pension plans in Germany ( C14,150,000) and is almost totally offset by the increase in the present value of defined benefit obligations arising from actuarial losses relating to the year-over-year decrease in the discount rates applicable to pension plans in the United Kingdom ( C12,665,000).

The effects of the restructuring programme on the defined benefit obligation are reported in the Relevant Periods as gains on the curtailment of a plan.

In 2010, employer contributions included a non-recurring payment of C9,000,000 into a German CTA. Decisions on additions to plan assets take into account the change in plan assets and pension obligations. For companies outside Germany, decisions also take into account the statutory minimum coverage requirements and the amounts deductible under local tax rules.

The payments expected for the following year are analysed as follows:

Expected employer contribution to plan assets
Direct payments of pension benefits that are not covered by
corresponding reimbursements from plan assets

In addition, the KION pension plan for employees of the KION Group in Germany holds plan assets of C16,840,000, C18,474,000 and C19,486,000, respectively, at 31 December 2010, 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2012 which are wholly offset by corresponding liabilities relating to the direct pension entitlement plan.

Impact on cash flows

In the case of obligations not covered by external assets, payments to beneficiaries are made directly by the KION Group and therefore have an impact on cash flows from operating activities. If the benefit obligations are backed by external assets, the payments are made from existing plan assets and have no effect on the KION Group’s cash flow. Instead, any contributions made to the external pension fund by the KION Group result in net cash used for operating activities.

The details of cash flow information are as follows:

Payment of pension benefit from:
KION

Contribution to plan assets
Pension benefit payments transferred to

Profit or loss

Actuarial computations are performed for benefit obligations in order to determine the amount to be expensed in each period in a systematic way. The expenses recognised in the profit and loss for pensions and similar obligations consist of a number of components that are calculated and disclosed separately.

– 234 –

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

The service cost is the new pension entitlement arising in the financial year and is recognised in the profit and loss. It is calculated as the actuarial present value of that proportion of the expected defined benefit obligation when the pension is paid attributable to the year under review on the basis of the maximum length of service achievable by each employee.

The interest cost (i.e. the expense arising from increase in the defined benefit obligation since the end of the previous year because the benefits are one period closer to settlement using the discount rate assumed for the year under review) is recognised in the profit and loss, as is the expected return on plan assets in the case of benefits covered by external plan assets.

An unrecognised past service cost arises if there is a change to the pension entitlement.

The breakdown of the net cost of the defined benefit obligation (expenses less income) recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the Relevant Periods is as follows:

Current service cost
Interest cost
Expected return on plan assets
Past service cost
Gains on the curtailment of a plan
Total cost of defined benefit

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

The plan assets do not include any real estate or other assets used by the KION Group itself. The increase in the Other category is largely attributable to the change in the portfolio structure of the four large plans in the United Kingdom and concerns inflation-linked UK government bonds. The expected return in the Relevant Years for the main investment categories of plan assets are as follows:

Germany UK Other
2010 2011 2012 2010 2011 2012 2010 2011 2012

Weightage average expected
return 5.70% 5.54% 5.71% 5.82% 5.21% 4.43% 4.33% 4.26% 4.51%

The expected return on plan assets was determined on the basis of the plan’s policy regarding the asset classes in which it invests. Expected returns are based on the current yields on government bonds with corresponding maturities, adjusted for specific credit spreads for the different asset classes. The expected return on plan assets is recognised as income in the relevant period. The differences between expected and actual income on plan assets represent experience adjustments and are recognised in other comprehensive income in the year in which they arise.

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is based on the assumptions detailed above. If the discount rate were to increase or decrease by a 0.25% as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012, pension entitlements would be C32,312,000, C35,632,000 and C43,458,000 lower or C34,559,000, C35,747,000 and C45,463,000 higher, respectively. Other comprehensive income, after tax, would be C23,147,000, C25,999,000 and C31,611,000 higher or C24,757,000, C26,036,000 and C33,081,000 lower.

While the actuarial gains and losses on the present value of the obligation only result in part from experience adjustments, the actuarial gains or losses on the fair value of the plan assets are entirely attributable to experience adjustments.

Loan agreement

In connection with its acquisition of Linde AG’s material-handling business, the KION Group signed a loan agreement (a senior facilities agreement and a subordinated facility agreement, referred to below as ‘SFA’) for a total original amount of C3,300,000,000 with the lead banks Barclays Bank Plc, Bayerische Hypo- und Vereinsbank AG, Credit Suisse (London branch), Goldman Sachs International Bank, Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. (UK branch) and Mizuho Corporate Bank Ltd. on 23 December 2006. The loans provided under the SFA carry variable interest rates. Transaction costs of C31,578,000, C20,175,000 and C23,637,000 reduced the carrying amount of the loans, respectively, at 31 December 2010, 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2012. These costs have been allocated pro rata to each of the tranches and expensed over their respective terms.

The following material amendments were made to the SFA in subsequent years:

  • Under amendments made to the SFA on 8 March 2007 the subordinated facility agreement was totally replaced by a senior facilities agreement and unused credit lines totalling C200,000,000 were returned, thereby reducing the total amount of the SFA to C3,100,000,000.

  • Under amendments made to the SFA on 23 September 2009 the financial covenants applicable during the term of the loan were modified. At the same time, an additional credit line of C100,000,000 and an increase in the collateral security provided for this facility were agreed. Furthermore, the interest rates payable on existing credit lines were raised by between 0.25% and 1.50% points. The amounts of these interest-rate increases primarily fall due in the form of bullet payments at maturity (payments in kind, or PIKs). All the interest payable on the new credit line of C100,000,000 falls due in the form of a bullet payment at maturity. The company making this credit line available is Superlift Funding S.à. r.l., Luxembourg, which is a related party to the KION Group.

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

Corporate bond

The KION Group issued a corporate bond for C500,000,000 through the subsidiary KION Finance S.A., Luxembourg, in April 2011. Of the bond’s total par value of C500,000,000, C325,000,000 carries at a fixed interest rate of 7.875% per annum, while C175,000,000 carries a floating interest rate based on three-month EURIBOR plus a margin of 4.25% points. The interest on the fixed-rate tranche is paid semi-annually, while interest on the floating-rate tranche is paid once a quarter. The bond’s principal is redeemed as a bullet payment on maturity. Borrowing costs of C12,492,000 and C10,505,000 reduced the carrying amount of the bond, respectively, as at 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2012. These costs have been allocated pro rata to each of the tranches and expensed over their respective terms. The corresponding liability is reported as a capital market liability.

Changes in net financial debt

The KION Group uses its financial debt as a key internal figure for analysing the changes in its financial liabilities. Financial liabilities take into account the gross carrying amounts of the liabilities to banks and the capital market liability before borrowing costs. The key figure ‘net financial debt’ is calculated by deducting cash and cash equivalents.

The table below gives a breakdown of the KION Group’s net financial debt as at the end of each reporting period:

Corporate bond - fixed rate (2011/2018) – gross
Corporate bond - floating rate (2011/2018) – gross

Financial covenants

The SFA and the contractual terms and conditions governing the issuance of the corporate bond require compliance with certain requirements, or undertakings and certain covenants among other things. The SFA also requires compliance with specific financial covenants during the term of the agreement. The financial covenants specify required ratios for the financial position and financial performance of the KION Group. The covenants are expressed in the form of key figures relating to leverage, available liquidity, EBITDA, interest paid and capital expenditures. If these requirements or financial covenants are breached, this may, for example, give lenders the right to terminate the SFA or permit bondholders to call the corporate bond prior to its maturity date.

All the financial covenants were met in the past financial year.

Loan collateral

Under the SFA, the KION Group is under an obligation to provide collateral for its obligations and liabilities. This obligation also includes to the corporate bond (newly added SFA tranches H1a und H1b), under which the funds from the corporate bond accrued to the KION Group. A total of 21, 26 and 26 KION Group companies (guarantors) in five countries - Germany, the UK, France, Spain and Italy - had provided the necessary collateral, respectively, at 31 December 2010, 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2012. The year-over-year change in the companies participating in the SFAS was largely attributable to the fact that the financial services companies established in 2011 had become a party to the SFA.

The collateral includes guarantees, the assignment of shares in the guarantors (with the exception of shares in KION GROUP GmbH), the assignment of bank accounts and guarantor receivables, the assignment of claims arising from and in connection with the share purchase agreement between Linde Material Handling GmbH and Linde AG dated 5 November 2006, relating to the shares in the former KION GROUP GmbH, the assignment of

shares in KION Information Management Services GmbH and assignments and transfers of title to intellectual property rights by guarantors in Germany.

The provisions for product warranties include contractual and statutory obligations arising from the sale of industrial trucks and spare parts. It is expected that the bulk of the costs will be incurred within the next two years after the end of each reporting period.

The provisions for personnel comprise provisions for partial retirement obligations, long-service awards, annual bonuses and severance pay. The provision for partial retirement obligations is recognised on the basis of individual contractual arrangements. The KION Group recognised restructuring provisions of C74,465,000 in 2011, predominantly in connection with the planned transfers of production.

Other obligations largely comprise provisions for guarantees and litigation.

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

37. KION MANAGEMENT PARTNERSHIP PLAN (“MPP”)

Arrangements for managers to invest in KION have been in place since 2007. These arrangements are governed by the “Shareholders’ and co-investment agreement on the implementation of the management partnership plan for the KION Group” (the “Co-invest Agreement”)) dated 14 June 2007, entered into by Superlift Holding S.à r.l., KION and KION Management Beteiligungs GmbH & Co. KG (“KION Management”). The managers who have joined the management partnership plan are also parties to the co-invest agreement.

During the Relevant Periods, KION Management held an equity interest of 14.61% in KION until 13 January 2013. In total, the Executive Board holds an interest of C3,400,000 in the limited partner capital of KION Management, which equates to an indirect interest of 3.31% in the share capital of KION. In addition to the KION Group’s Executive Board, around 300 executives around the world have purchased shares in KION Management. The shares are sold at their fair value and shareholdings are divided into virtual ‘A’, ‘B’, and ‘C’ shares. Different terms and conditions concerning payment of the purchase price and rights to purchase attach to these virtual shares. The purchase price for ‘A’ shares became payable when participants joined the programme, while KION Management Beteiligungs GmbH granted participants interest-bearing loans for the purchase price of the ‘B’ and ‘C’ shares. The vesting conditions and resulting purchase rights for ‘B’ shares accrue to participants in equal, annual tranches over a period of five years. By contrast, managers become eligible to purchase ‘C’ shares if the targets for revenue, earnings before interest and tax and amortisation and operating cash flow set in the business plan are achieved over a five-year period or predefined target returns are achieved if the KION Group is sold or there is a change of control.

In 2010, the performance-related vesting conditions for the ‘C’ shares relating to the 2009–2012 bonus period were adjusted to take into account the revised long-term KION business plan, which is in turn based on the amended loan terms in the supplementary agreement to the SFA dated 23 September 2009. The change in vesting conditions affects a total of 1,034 shares with an expected exercise price of C16 thousand each. The agreement had one year remaining as at 31 December 2011. The total fair value of this adjustment was C1,044,000. The fair value of the individual purchase rights amounted to C1,000. The number of purchase options outstanding as at the reporting date remained unchanged at 1,034, of which 229, 584 and 876 were exercisable, respectively, at 31 December 2010, 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2012.

The fair value of the new vesting conditions was calculated using the Black-Scholes model based on a share price of C11,000. The risk-free interest rate on the reference date for the calculation was 1.6%. The expected holding period for the options is three years. The expected volatility is 32% and it was calculated by taking the implied volatility of a peer group. Expected dividends were not taken into account.

Expenses incurred by the management partnership plan amounted to C590,000, C295,000 and C159,000, respectively, for each of the Relevant Periods.

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

The above gains and losses do not include losses arising on hedging transactions amounting to C88,087,000, C18,464,000 and C19,861,000, respectively during the year ended 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012 because these losses form part of a documented hedge.

(d) Fair value measurement

The majority of the funding, loans, investments, other non-derivative receivables and liabilities, trade receivables and trade payables held by the KION Group have short remaining terms to maturity. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments approximate their fair values.

The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined using appropriate valuation methods on the basis of observable market information at the end of reporting period. The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows. The fair value of currency forwards is calculated on the basis of the forward rates at the end of reporting period. In the KION Group, all interest-rate swaps and currency forwards are classified as level 2 measurements as defined by IFRS 7.

The fair value of the put and call options on the remaining shares in Linde Hydraulics was determined using the Black-Scholes model. The main input variables for the model were the options’ base exercise price, which may be modified by individual, specific, contractually agreed factors if necessary, and the fair value of the remaining shares in Linde Hydraulics. As at 31 December 2012 the fair value of the put option was €19,740,000 and the fair value of the call options was €16,520,000. The base exercise price of the put option is €77,429,000. The base exercise price of the two call options totals €116,143,000. The options are classified as level 3.

As at 31 December 2012 the net value calculated from the options on the remaining shares in Linde Hydraulics came to €3,220,000. If the fair value of the shares had been 10% lower on the reporting date, the net value from the options would have increased by €8,310,000 to a total of €11,530,000 and resulted in an additional gain of €8,310,000. A rise of 10% in the fair value of the shares in Linde Hydraulics would have decreased the net value from the options by €9,010,000 to a total of €5,790,000 and resulted in an expense of €9,010,000.

In order to minimise default risk to the greatest possible extent, the KION Group only enters into derivatives with counterparties holding a high credit rating.

With the exception of derivative financial instruments and available-for-sale assets, all financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortised cost.

Details of the financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value at the end of each reporting period are as follows:

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

39. FINANCIAL RISK REPORTING

(a) Capital management

One of the prime objectives of capital management is to ensure liquidity at all times. Measures aimed at achieving these objectives include the optimisation of the capital structure, the reduction of liabilities and ongoing KION Group cash flow planning and management. Besides the supplementary agreement to the SFA in 2009, long-term financing requirements were also covered by the issuance of the corporate bond (see ‘Credit terms’ table).

Close cooperation between local units and the KION Group head office ensures that the local legal and regulatory requirements faced by foreign group companies are considered in the capital management process.

Net financial debt before borrowing costs – defined as the difference between financial liabilities and cash and cash equivalents – is the key performance measure used in liquidity planning at KION Group level. Lease liabilities and other financial liabilities are excluded from this figure, which were C2,626,003,000, C2,631,279,000 and C1,790,074,000 at 31 December 2010, 31 December 2011 and 31 December 2012.

(b) Credit risk

For financial assets, default risk is defined as the risk that a counterparty will default, and therefore is limited to a maximum of the carrying amount of the assets relating to the counterparty involved. The potential default risk attaching to financial assets is mitigated by secured forms of lending such as reservation of title, credit insurance and guarantees.

Specific valuation allowances for defaults are recognised to reflect the risk arising from primary financial instruments. Financial transactions are only entered into with selected partners holding good credit ratings. Investments in interest-bearing securities are limited to investment-grade securities.

In certain finance and operating activities, the KION Group is subject to credit risk, i.e. the risk that partners will fail to meet their contractual obligations. This risk is limited by diversifying business partners based on certain credit ratings. The KION Group only enters into transactions with business partners and banks holding a good credit rating and subject to fixed limits. Counterparty risks involving our customers are managed by the individual group companies.

The following table shows the age structure of receivables as at the end of each reporting period.

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

Impairment losses are based on the credit risk associated with the receivables and are assessed primarily using factors such as a customer’s credit rating and historical pattern of meeting payment terms.

Some of the receivables that were overdue as at the end of each reporting period, but for which no impairment losses had been reported, were offset by corresponding collateral. Apart from this item, the KION Group did not hold any significant collateral.

(c) Liquidity risk

A liquidity risk arises if a company is unable to meet its financial liabilities. The KION Group maintains a liquidity reserve in the form of lines of credit and cash in order to ensure financial flexibility and solvency. The age structure of financial liabilities is reviewed continuously and was improved by issuing the corporate bond.

The following table shows all of the contractually agreed payments under recognised financial liabilities at the end of each reporting period, including derivative financial instruments with negative fair values.

The calculation of future cash flows for derivative financial liabilities includes all currency forwards and interest rate swaps that have negative fair values as at the end of the reporting period.

Bank guarantee lines (e.g. sureties, performance bonds) had been issued under the ancillary facility agreements for a total amount in the low double-digit millions as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012. They included guarantees payable ‘on first demand’. No guarantees were utilised during the Relevant Periods.

The volume of business for which factoring amounted to C19,853,000, C17,844,000 and C20,024,000, respectively for each of the reporting periods. Because all material risks and rewards are assigned to the purchaser, these assets are derecognised in full.

(d) Risks from financial services

The KION Group’s leasing activities mean that it may be exposed to residual value risks from the marketing of machinery and equipment that is returned by the lessee at the end of a long-term lease and subsequently sold or re-leased. Residual values in the markets for used trucks are therefore constantly monitored and forecasted.

KION regularly assesses its overall risk position arising from financial services, recognising write-downs, valuation allowances or provisions to cover the risks it identifies. It immediately takes into account any changes in residual values when calculating new leases.

– 250 –

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

The increased marketing activities for used trucks and the overall increase in demand help to stabilise the residual values of the KION Group’s industrial trucks and therefore serve to mitigate risk.

In addition, residual values are mainly based on remarketing agreements that continued to achieve positive outcomes in 2011. Under these agreements, any residual-value risk is transferred to the leasing company concerned. Group-wide standards to ensure that residual values are calculated conservatively reduce risk and provide the basis on which to create the transparency required. KION also has an IT system for residual-value risk management.

The KION Group mitigates its liquidity risk and interest-rate risk by ensuring that most of its transactions and the terms of funding loans are in line with the KION Group’s expectation on the economic environment. Long-term leases are primarily based on fixed-interest agreements. The credit facilities provided by various banks ensure that the KION Group has sufficient liquidity.

In order to eliminate exchange-rate risk, KION generally funds its leasing business in the local currency used in each market.

Because of low default rates, counterparty risk has not been significant to date in the KION Group. KION did not identify any material year-over-year changes in 2011. KION’s losses from defaults are also mitigated by its receipt of the proceeds from the sale of repossessed trucks. In addition, it primarily offers financial services indirectly via selected funding partners, and KION bears the counterparty risk in less than 5% of cases. The credit risk management system was refined as part of the work involved in transferring financial services activities to a separate segment. In particular, this involved revising procedures on operational and organisational structure as well as processes for risk management and control.

(e)

Exchange-rate risk

In accordance with its treasury risk policy, the KION Group hedges exchange rate risks both locally at the level of the individual companies and centrally via KION GROUP GmbH in order to meet the prescribed minimum hedging ratios.

The main hedging instruments employed are foreign-currency forwards, provided that there are no country specific restrictions on their use.

At an entity level, hedges are entered into for highly probable future transactions on the basis of rolling 15-month forecasts, as well as for firm obligations not reported in the statement of financial position. These hedges are generally classified as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.

Foreign-currency forwards are also employed to hedge the exchange rate risks resulting from internal financing.

The following table shows an overview of the foreign-currency forwards entered into by the KION Group.

The currency options bought and sold in 2008, each with a notional value of US$780,000,000, were closed in 2011. The income generated by the sale totalled C1,649,000. No new options have been entered into.

– 251 –

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

Significant exchange rate risks from financial instruments are measured on the basis of value at risk (VaR) as part of internal Group management. VaR figures are calculated using historical variance-covariance analyses. Correlations and volatilities are calculated on the basis of the 250 working days prior to the reporting date (unweighted).

Exchange rate risks from financial instruments as defined by IFRS 7, are only included in calculating value at risk if the financial instruments are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the reporting entity concerned. This means that exchange rate risks resulting from the translation of the separate financial statements of subsidiaries into the KION Group reporting currency, i.e. currency translation risk, are not included.

The value at risk in respect of currency risk was C19,968,000, C54,676,000 and C42,302,000, respectively, at end of each reporting period. Value at risk is the loss that is not expected to be exceeded over a holding period of one year with a confidence level of 97.7 per cent at end of each reporting period.

(f) Interest-rate risk

Interest-rate risk within the KION Group is managed centrally. The basis for decision-making includes sensitivity analyses of interest-rate risk positions in key currencies.

The table below shows the cumulative effect of an increase or decrease of 100 basis points (bps) in the relevant interest-rate curves, with a rate of 0 per cent constituting the lower limit of the calculation

(Loss) profit for the year (17,226) 18,454 (9,358) 9,358 (8,469) 8,469

The KION Group essentially funds itself by drawing down loans under its agreed credit facilities. Interest-rate derivatives - mainly interest-rate swaps - are used to hedge the resulting interest-rate risk.

The interest-rate caps purchased in 2009 and with a notional value of C1,250,000,000 expired in 2011 as planned. No new interest-rate options have been entered into.

(g) Hedging currency risk

In accordance with its treasury risk policy, the KION Group applies hedge accounting in hedging the exchange rate risks arising from highly probable future revenues in various currencies. Foreign-currency derivatives with settlement dates in the same month as the expected cash flows from the KION Group’s operating activities are used as hedges.

– 252 –

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

The effectiveness of the KION Group’s hedging transactions is assessed on the basis of forward rates using the hypothetical derivative approach under the cumulative dollar-offset method. The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of foreign-currency derivatives is recognised in accumulated other comprehensive income (expense) and only reversed when the corresponding hedged item is recognised in profit or loss.

Because of the short-term nature of the KION Group’s payment terms, reclassifications to the profit or loss and the recognition of the corresponding cash flows generally take place in the same reporting period. A foreign-currency receivable or liability is recognised when goods are dispatched or received. Hedge accounting continues until the corresponding payment is received, with the changes in the fair value of the derivative being recognised in the profit or loss, thereby largely offsetting the effect of the measurement of the receivable at the end of each reporting period.

The changes in fair value recognised and reclassified in other comprehensive income are shown in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The ineffective portion of the changes in the fair value of the hedging transactions is recognised directly in the profit or loss. There were no significant ineffective portions for the Relevant Periods.

In total, foreign-currency cash flows of C199,554,000, C263,109,000 and C114,329,000 were hedged and designated as hedged items, respectively, for the year ended 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012.

(h) Hedging of interest-rate risk

The KION Group uses hedge accounting in connection with the hedging of interest-rate risk.

The KION Group is essentially financed by the utilisation of loans with variable interest rates and in different currencies. Interest-rate derivatives denominated in various currencies were used to hedge the resulting interest rate risk for the Relevant Periods. Because the KION Group used interest-rate swaps to transform 40%, 51% and 48% of its variable-rate exposure into fixed-rate obligations as at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012, it is not fully benefiting from the low level of market interest rates. During the year ended 31 December 2010, an additional 44% of interest rate exposure is hedged by means of interest rate caps against on-month Euribor rising above 1.75% per annum. The individual hedges were designated at the time the swaps were entered into.

The effective portion of the hedges was recognised in other comprehensive income (expense). The cumulative effectiveness of the hedging transactions was almost 100% during the Relevant Periods.

In total, variable portions of future interest payments amounting to C54,999,000, C27,196,000 and C6,340,000, respectively, at the end of each reporting period were designated as hedged items.

40. PLEDGE OF ASSETS

At the end of the each reporting period, certain assets of KION Group were pledged as collateral for the retirement benefit obligation and financial liabilities. The details of the pledge assets are set out in notes 20, 21 and 31.

Litigation

The legal risks arising from the KION Group’s business are typical of those faced by any company operating in this sector. The KION is a party in a number of pending lawsuits in various countries. It cannot assume with any degree of certainty that it will win any of the lawsuits or that the existing risk provision in the form of insurance or provisions will be sufficient in each individual case. However, the KION believes it is remote that these ongoing lawsuits will result in additional provisions.

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

45. ACQUISITION/DISPOSAL OF BUSINESSES

(a) Acquisition of Creighton Material Handling Ltd. during the year ended 31 December 2012

The KION Group acquired the business operations of the UK dealer Creighton on 28 February 2012. To this end, the KION Group acquired 100% of the share capital and voting rights in Creighton Materials Handling Ltd., Birmingham, United Kingdom (registered office relocated to Basingstoke, United Kingdom, on 28 February 2012), which itself holds 51% of the share capital and voting rights in Linde Creighton Ltd., Basingstoke. The KION Group already held the other 49% of the share capital and voting rights in Linde Creighton Ltd. before the business combination. Creighton’s business operations include an investment of 100% in McLEMAN FORK LIFT SERVICES LTD., Basingstoke, United Kingdom. The acquisition has enabled the KION Group to further strengthen the leading position of Linde and the brand’s UK distribution and service network.

The equity-accounted carrying amount of the investment in Linde Creighton Ltd. immediately prior to the acquisition date came to C3,635,000. Remeasurement of the investment of 49% previously held resulted in a fair value of C11,387,000. The difference of C7,752,000 (amount on the acquisition date) was taken to income and recognised under the share of profit (loss) of equity-accounted investments on the face of the consolidated income statement.

The incidental acquisition costs incurred by this business combination amounted to C60,000 and have been recognised as an expense for the current period and reported as administrative expenses on the face of the consolidated income statement.

At the acquisition date it was assumed that C147,000 of these trade receivables was irrecoverable. Revenue rose by C50,076,000 as a result of the acquisition. The net income (loss) reported for 2012 contains a profit of C1,382,000 attributable to the entity acquired. If this business combination had been completed by 1 January 2012, this would have had no further material impact on either the revenue or the net income (loss) reported by the KION Group for 2012.

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

(b) Acquisition of forklift truck and warehouse technology business of Voltas Limited during the year ended 31 December 2011

In April 2011, the KION Group and Voltas Limited, Mumbai, India, together established Voltas Material Handling Private Limited (“VMH”) to develop, manufacture, sell and service forklift trucks and warehouse trucks. VMH, acquired the forklift truck and warehouse technology business of Voltas Limited on 1 May 2011. KION indirectly holds 66% of the share capital and voting rights in VMH via Linde Material Handling Asia Pacific Pte. Ltd., Singapore.

As a KION Group brand that manufactures in India, Voltas will focus most of its efforts on this market. Its product range includes warehouse trucks, diesel trucks and electric forklift trucks with load capacities of between 1.5 tonnes and 16 tonnes. VMH has a network of 25 branches and authorised dealers throughout India. Since becoming part of the KION Group, VMH has in eight months ended 31 December 2011 generated revenue of C22,027,000 and earned net profit of approximately C19,000. It is not possible to calculate the revenue and net income that would have been earned if VMH had been acquired at 1 January 2011 because no reliable IFRS figures are available for the period prior to April 2011.

A total of 131 Voltas Limited employees were taken on.

The incidental acquisition costs incurred by this business combination amounted to C780,000 and have been recognised as an expense for the year ended 31 December 2011 and reported as administrative expenses on the face of the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Owing to further contractual arrangements, the newly established company has been fully consolidated and, consequently, a liability of C8,920,000 was recognised at the acquisition date. This estimated fair value also represents the upper limit for the purchase price. This purchase price obligation may decrease consistent with defined key figures. The table below shows the provisional impact of the acquisition of Voltas Limited’s forklift truck and warehouse technology business on the consolidated financial statements of KION.

The dealer Cailotto Carrelli S.p.A., Verona, Italy (100 per cent of the company’s share capital and voting rights) was acquired on 4 April 2011.

In addition, KION Group acquired the remaining share capital and voting rights (51%) in the dealer Linde Sterling Ltd., Basingstoke, United Kingdom, effective on 15 June 2011.

The carrying amount of the equity investment in Linde Sterling Ltd. immediately prior to the acquisition date was C3,238,000. As a result of the remeasurement of the equity investment (49%) on the date of acquisition, C4,102,000 was recognised in the income statement and reported as profit from equity investments.

Furthermore, the newly established company OOO ‘‘Linde Material Handling Rus’’, Moscow, Russian Federation, acquired the business of the dealer Liftec in Russia on 2 December 2011. The consideration paid included trade receivables in the amount of C5,039,000 that were offset, a cash payment of C4,903,000 and contingent consideration with a fair value of C2,879,000. This estimated fair value at the acquisition date also represents the upper limit for the purchase price. The contingent consideration may be reduced in line with defined revenue targets for 2012 and 2013 and is payable in 2014 if targets are met.

The incidental acquisition costs incurred by these business combinations total C1,720,000 and have been recognised as an expense for the current period and reported as administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

APPENDIX II

ACCOUNTANT’S REPORT ON THE KION GROUP

49. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION RELATING TO THE FINANCIAL IMPACT ON THE ADOPTION OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES OF THE COMPANY

On 15 February 2006, the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China (the “MoF”) formally announced the issuance of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises (“ASBEs”) which consist of a new Basic Standard and 38 Specific ASBEs. The MoF also issued pronouncements to enhance the ASBE for the convergence to IFRSs. The ASBEs and the subsequent pronouncements cover nearly all of the topics under the current IFRSs literature and the Company has adopted ASBEs and the subsequently pronouncements according to their respective effective periods.

Although the ASBEs are substantially relevant to the Company and the KION Group in line with IFRSs, there are still some differences between the ASBEs and IFRSs. Some of the key differences relevant to the Company and the KION Group are:

  • ASBE 8 prohibits the reversal of all impairment losses where IAS 36 only prohibits the reversal of the impairment of goodwill.

  • For presentation purposes, the ASBEs restrict certain options available under IFRSs, for example, expenses shall be analysed by function for income statement presentation purposes, the direct method is required for cash flow statements and only the gross presentation is allowed for government.

The Company accounted for the KION Group as it associates and using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, investments in the KION Group are initially recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognise the share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the KION Group by the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Weichai Group”). When the Weichai Group’s share of losses of the KION Group’s exceeds the Weichai Group’s interest in the KION Group (which includes any long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Weichai Group’s net investment in the KION Group), the Weichai Group discontinues recognising its share of further losses. Additional losses are recognised only to the extent that the Weichai Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the KION Group.

As set out in Note 3 to Section A of this report, for KION Group, if the reason for an impairment loss of property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets recognised in prior years no longer applies, impairment losses not exceeding the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the assets are reversed.

In 2011, revenue of the KION Group rose by approximately 24% to C4,368 million and had an order intake of approximately 144,800 units. In 2011, 54% of its revenue was generated from new truck sales, 42% from its service offering and 4% from its hydraulics product category. In 2012, the KION Group generated C4,727 million of revenue, of which C2,651 million or 56% of its revenue was generated from new truck sales and C1,907 million or 40% from its service offering, and had an order intake of approximately 141,700 units. In 2012, the KION Group also achieved a net income of C161 million, as compared to a net loss of C197 million in 2010 and C93 million in 2011.

II. Business Segments

The KION Group operates its business through its two global brands, Linde and STILL, and through its four regional brands, Fenwick in France, OM-STILL in Italy, Baoli in China and certain emerging markets and Voltas in India. The KION Group reported its business under four segments: Linde Material Handling (“ LMH ”) (including the Linde, Fenwick and Baoli brands), STILL (including the STILL and the OM-STILL brands), Financial Services (which acts as an internal partner for the brand segments and provides finance solutions that promote sales) and Other (including the Voltas brand and other activities not allocated to the LMH, STILL and Financial Services segments).

LMH

The LMH segment manufactures industrial trucks under its Linde, Fenwick and Baoli brands. Linde is a global premium brand under which the KION Group designs and sell innovative and technologically sophisticated products. Measured by unit sales, Linde is the number two industrial truck brand worldwide, and the largest non-domestic brand in China. In France, Linde industrial trucks are sold under the Fenwick brand, which is a market leader in France in terms of unit sales. Baoli is its core brand focused on the economy segment, mainly targeting China and other emerging markets including South East Asia, South and Central America and Eastern Europe.

Included in the LMH segment is the KION Group’s former hydraulics product category, Linde Hydraulics, which manufactures high-end hydraulics components for use within its own products, as well as customized components for third parties. On 27 December 2012, pursuant to the Framework Agreement, the Company acquired a 70% stake in Linde Hydraulics through an investment in LHY Co, a limited partnership established to assume the net assets, contracts and legal positions of Linde Hydraulics, and the KION Group holds the remaining 30% interest in LHY Co. Linde Hydraulics is included in the overall results of the KION Group until 27 December 2012, subsequent to which, it is recorded as equity investments. The sale of the 70% interest in Linde Hydraulics to the Company resulted in a net gain before taxes of €103 million for the year ended 31 December 2012. In addition, the KION Group realised a gain of €109 million from the remearsurement of the remaining 30% interest in LHY Co. (which is being classified as investment in associate) at fair value. This remeasurement of the equity interest is the major contributing factor for the increase in equity investments from €37 million as at 31 December 2011 to €155 million as at 31 December 2012. Accordingly, both

APPENDIX III

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE KION GROUP

items have attributed to the recognition of a total gain on disposal of subsidiary of €212 million, and hence the increase in other income of the KION Group from €82 million for the year ended 31 December 2011 to €294 million for the year ended 31 December 2012.

Revenue for the LMH segment reached C2,042 million (excluding intersegment revenue) for the year ended 31 December 2010, mainly due to its higher order intake resulting from improved 2010 general market conditions, which in turn led to a greater demand for new trucks and for services and spare parts from the LMH segment. Order intake for the LMH segment reached 75,800 units in 2010, benefited considerably from the strong recovery in the German market and from the increasing growth in the Asian, Eastern European and South and Central American markets. The LMH segment accounted for 58% of the total revenue for the year ended 31 December 2010.

Due to the continued strong demand in the established sales markets, the LMH segment further increased its revenue by 27%, from C2,042 million (excluding intersegment revenue) for the year ended 31 December 2010 to C2,602 million (excluding intersegment revenue) for the year ended 31 December 2011. The LMH segment also generated an order intake of approximately 88,300 units in 2011, representing an increase of 22% from 2010. The LMH segment accounted for 60% of the total revenue for the year ended 31 December 2011, increased by two percentage points as compared to 58% for the year ended 31 December 2010.

For the year ended 31 December 2012, the LMH segment generated an order intake of approximately 93,300 units and revenue of C2,903 million (excluding intersegment revenue), representing an increase of 6% and 12%, respectively, from that of 2011, The LMH segment accounted for 61% of its total revenue in 2012, increased by one percentage point as compared to 2011.

STILL

The STILL segment includes the KION Group’s premium brands, STILL and OM-STILL. STILL is a leading producer of industrial trucks globally and focuses on developing innovative material handling solutions for efficiency gains and energy consumption. The STILL brand has a strong market share in Europe as well as a major presence in Brazil. In Italy, STILL industrial trucks are sold under the OM-STILL brand, one of the market leaders for industrial trucks in Italy in terms of unit sales.

Due to improved 2010 general market conditions that led to an increased order intake, both for new trucks and service offerings, the revenue of STILL reached C1,257 million (excluding intersegment revenue) in 2010. The total value of the order intake for STILL, including new trucks and service offerings, amounted to C1,328 million, representing an order intake of approximately 35,300 units. The total order intake for OM was approximately 10,400 units, with total value of the order intake, including new trucks and service offering, amounted to C222 million. The STILL segment, in aggregate, accounted for 36% of the total revenue for the year ended 31 December 2010.

The stronger demand in its established sales markets in 2011 led to a further increase of STILL segment’s revenue by 16% from C1,257 million (excluding intersegment revenue)

– 269 –

APPENDIX III

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE KION GROUP

in 2010 to C1,462 million (excluding intersegment revenue) in 2011. The STILL segment generated an order intake of approximately 51,200 units in 2011, representing an increase of 12% from 45,700 units (of which, 35,300 units for STILL and 10,400 units for OM) in 2010, with the total value of STILL’s order intake, including new trucks and service offering, increased by 13% from C1,550 million (of which, C1,328 million for STILL and C222 million for OM) in 2010 to C1,752 million in 2011. The STILL segment accounted for 33% of the total revenue for the year ended 31 December 2011, compared to 36% for the year ended 31 December 2010.

For the year ended 31 December 2012, the STILL segment generated an order intake of approximately 46,800 units , representing a decrease of 8% from 51,200 units in 2011. However, the revenue of the STILL segment reached C1,484 million (excluding intersegment revenue), representing a slight increase of 2%, which remained fairly stable with 2011. The STILL segment accounted for 31% of the total revenue of the KION Group in 2012, decreased by two percentage points as compared to 2011.

Financial Services

The Financial Services segment operates across all brands, and encompasses financing of the KION Group’s short-term rental fleets and long-term leasing for its customers as part of sales financing through the provision of innovative and tailored finance solutions to its customers. In addition, the Financial Services segment provides risk management for the long term leasing activities of the KION Group. The KION Group established separate financial services companies in the key markets of Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom, and plan to integrate additional markets where it has a high level of financing and leasing business.

For the year ended 31 December 2010, the Financial Services segment generated revenue from external customers of C226 million, which accounted for 6% of the total revenue of KION Group in 2010. Intersegment revenue for the financial services segment amounted to C128 million.

For the year ended 31 December 2011, the Financial Services segment generated revenue from external customers of C265 million in 2011, representing an increase of 17% from 2010 and accounted for 6% of the total revenue of KION Group in 2010, which remained stable from 2010. Intersegment revenue amounted to C215 million.

For the year ended 31 December 2012, the Financial Services segment generated revenue from external customers of C297 million, representing an increase of 12% from 2011 and accounted for 6% of the total revenue of KION Group in 2012. Intersegment revenue amounted to C213 million.

– 270 –

APPENDIX III

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE KION GROUP

Revenue for the Other segment amounted to C160 million for the year ended 31 December 2010, which mainly represents intersegment revenue of C150 million generated from the provision of logistics services and IT services to other business segments of the KION Group.

The Other segment’s revenues rose by C63 million to C223 million in 2011 from C160 million in 2010 including intersegment revenue amounting to C183 million in 2011 compared to C150 million in 2010. The vast majority of revenue was driven by internal services as described above. The other main reason for the increase of revenue related to the launch of its new brand Voltas through Voltas Material Handling (VMH).

For the year ended 31 December 2012, the Other segment generated revenue of C251 million, of which, C208 million was driven by intersegment revenue generated from internal services. The increase in revenue for the Other segment is mainly attributable to increased revenue contributed by the Voltas brand in India, which had only been consolidated for nine months in 2011 as compared to a full year consolidation in 2012. The Other segment accounted for 1% of the total revenue of KION Group in 2012.

III. Order Intake

The improved market conditions in 2010 enabled the KION Group to increase its global order intake for new trucks to 121,500 units. The increase was driven to a significant extent by the emerging markets, which generated almost half of the growth in order intake in 2010. Order intake from emerging markets had steadily gained in significance and accounted for more than a quarter of total order intake in 2010. In terms of the number of units sold, China has become the third-largest market for the KION Group in 2010, behind Germany and France and Brazil came in sixth place in 2010. The value of the KION Group’s order intake was C3,860 million in 2010. Apart from business in new trucks, this total includes other product categories such as rental business, used trucks and aftersales business. The order backlog grew to C801 million as at 31 December 2010. All the brands contributed to this growth.

The continued growth of the Chinese market, the larger volume of orders received from Russia and Brazil, and equally strong demand in Europe enabled the KION Group to further improve its intake of orders for new trucks in 2011. Global order intake rose by 19% to 144,800 units in 2011 (2010: 121,500 units). The total value of the orders received by the KION Group in 2011 rose by 21% year-on-year from C3,860 million in 2010 to C4,682 million in 2011. This order value includes not only business in new trucks but also rental business, the sale of used trucks, and aftersales services. Order intake in all product categories rose year-on-year. The benign macroeconomic trends prevailing in 2011 increased industry’s willingness to invest in capital equipment, thereby boosting KION’s business in new trucks. The further rise in fleet capacity utilization in the market also created an additional need for services and spare parts. Stronger demand for used and rental trucks generated further growth as well. The KION Group’s order backlog as at 31 December 2011 totalled C953 million (31 December 2010: C801 million), which represented a year-on-year increase of 19%. The main reasons for the larger inventory of outstanding orders at the end of the year were the stronger demand for new trucks and the generally high utilization of capacity at KION’s production facilities.

– 271 –

APPENDIX III

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE KION GROUP

In terms of the number of new trucks ordered, KION saw a moderate increase in its global market share, which expanded from 14.8% in 2011 to 15% in 2012. The total value of the orders received by the KION Group in 2012 rose by 0.4% year-on-year to C4,700 million. The order intake was slightly above the level of 2011 due to a higher proportion of trucks with customer-specific fittings with higher prices were sold and a shift in the product mix to higher revenue generating products. Such increase, however, was partly offset by a decline in unit sales of new trucks. The KION Group’s order backlog as at 31 December 2012 totalled C808 million, which represented a year-on-year decrease of 18%.

IV. Financial Review

a. Revenue

As a result of the strong recovery of the economies in the markets that are most important to the KION Group’s business, namely Germany, France and China, in the course of 2010, there was strong demand for new trucks and increased truck utilization levels, the latter of which accelerated the replacement cycle and increased demand for services. The overall value of the order intake for new trucks, service offering and hydraulics reached C3,860 million for the year ended 31 December 2010. The increased order intake had a positive impact on the revenue and the total revenue for the year ended 31 December 2010 reached C3,534 million.

The stronger demand in the KION Group’s established sales markets such as Germany, France, China, Russia and Brazil following sustained economic growth resulted in a further increase of order intake of 21% to C4,682 million for the year ended 31 December 2011, from C3,860 million for the year ended 31 December 2010. The higher order volume in 2011 and increases in prices of its products positively impacted its revenue, which grew by 24%, or C834 million, from C3,534 million in 2010 to C4,368 million in 2011.

In 2012, the KION Group experienced sustained demand for new trucks and service offerings, and the increased capacity utilization levels of industrial trucks in its key markets accelerated the replacement cycle for its customers and had a positive impact on the volume of replacement investments and demand for service offerings. This demand resulted in an overall total order intake increase of 0.4% in the aggregate to C4,700 million. The higher order volume positively impacted its revenue, which grew by 8%, or C359 million, to C4,727 million for the year ended 31 December 2012.

APPENDIX III

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE KION GROUP

b. Cost of Sales

Cost of sales amounted to C2,684 million in 2010. Compared to a 15% revenue growth in 2010, cost of sales rose at a far lower rate. This is partly due to the cost management strategy that the KION Group implemented as part of its restructuring program, including the relocation of certain products and a plant closure in Basingstoke, United Kingdom, and partly due to leaner production processes it implemented.

In 2011, cost of sales increased to C3,256 million, representing an increase of 21% compared to C2,684 million in 2010. Compared to a 24% revenue growth, its cost of sales increased at a lower rate over the same period. This was mainly due to efficiency gains in production, higher overall capacity utilization, and improvements in gross operating revenue across all product categories.

In 2012, cost of sales increased by 5% from C3,256 million in 2011 to C3,430 million in 2012, which rose at a lower rate as compared to the 8% revenue growth over the same period. This was mainly due to the continued improvement in efficiency in production, higher capacity utilization and an overall fall in commodity prices.

c. Gross Profit and Gross Margin

In 2010, gross profit reached C850 million. Gross profit rose by 31% to C1,112 million in 2011 and further rose by 17% to C1,297 million in 2012. The increased growth profit was a result of an improved balance between revenue and cost of sales.

Gross margin was 24% in 2010 and rose to 25% in 2011. In 2012, the KION Group achieved a gross margin of 27%.

d. Net Income/(Loss) for the year

In 2010, the KION Group managed to narrow the loss by approximately C169 million from the previous year and recorded a net loss of C197 million. This clear improvement was mainly the result of better business situation due to strong market recovery and the greater efficiency achieved by optimizing production processes.

In 2011, the KION Group reported a net loss of C93 million, compared to a net loss of C197 million in 2010. This improvement of C104 million was primarily the result of the strong market recovery in the industrial truck market and revenue increases in the target growth markets, and also from improved capacity utilization levels both in the new truck business and hydraulic components business and its restructuring program.

In 2012, the KION Group reported a net income of C161 million. This increase of C254 million was mainly driven by the net gain from the sale of the hydraulics business pursuant to the Acquisitions, improved operating performance and also by an improvement in net finance costs resulting from the success of the steps taken to reduce debt levels.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE KION GROUP

e. Liquidity and capital resources

By pursuing an appropriate financial management strategy, the KION Group ensures that sufficient liquidity is available at all times and mitigates the financial risk to its enterprise value and profitability. The KION Group provides sufficient financial resources for its day-to-day business, optimizes its financial relationships with customers and suppliers, ensures that the necessary liquidity is available to its companies, and manages any collateral security offered. A group of international banks and investors meets the KION Group’s basic borrowing requirements. In addition, the KION Group availed itself of the funding facilities offered by the public capital markets by issuing its first corporate bond amounted to C500 million in April 2011. The financial resources required within the KION Group are provided through internal funding. The KION Group collects liquidity surpluses of the KION Group companies in central or regional cash pools and, where possible, covers subsidiaries’ funding requirements with intercompany loans. This central source of funding enables the KION Group to present a united front in the capital markets and strengthens its hand in negotiations with banks and other market participants. The KION Group occasionally arranges additional credit lines for its group companies with local banks or leasing companies in order to comply with legal, tax and other regulations. For funding purposes, KION also engages to a small extent in factoring. The volume of non-recourse factoring business amounted to C20 million as at 31 December 2012 (31 December 2010: C20 million and 31 December 2011: C18 million).

In addition, one of the prime objectives of capital management of the KION Group is to ensure liquidity at all times. Measures aimed at achieving these objectives include the optimization of the capital structure, the reduction of liabilities and ongoing cash flow planning and management. Close cooperation between local units and the head office ensures that the local legal and regulatory requirements faced by foreign group companies are considered in the capital management process.

The sources of liquidity of the KION Group include cash and cash equivalents, cash flow from operating activities and amounts available under the senior credit facilities agreement (the “ Senior Credit Agreement ”). As at 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012, its cash and cash equivalents were C253 million, C373 million and C562 million, respectively, and were primarily held in Euros and also in United States dollars. In 2010, the KION group generated a positive cash flow of C199 million from its operating activities. In 2011, the KION Group generated a cash inflow from operating activities of C387 million. In addition, the KION Group drew-down on a multi-currency revolving credit facility (the “ Multi-Currency Revolving Credit Facility ”) in an amount of C133 million in November 2011. In March 2012, the KION Group received additional funds of C5 million as previously unfunded commitments under the Multi-Currency Revolving Credit Facility. Moreover, cash generated from operating activities amounted to C414 million in 2012. In addition, a cash inflow of C730 million was generated as a result of the Acquisitions by the Company and such proceeds were largely used by KION to repay its financial debt and related transaction expenses.

APPENDIX III

APPENDIX III

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE KION GROUP

The KION Group’s gearing ratio as at 31 December 2012 was 89% (2010: 107% and 2011: 108%), which is calculated on the basis of the KION Group’s total liabilities divided by its total assets. The improvement in the gearing ratio of KION was mainly contributed from the capital increase in KION as a result of the conversion of the shareholder loan from Superlift, which had a principal amount of C500 million plus accrued interest of C171 million, on 27 December 2012. It was also attributable to the capital contribution of C467 million as a result of the completion of the acquisition of 25% interest in KION by the Company in December 2012. Such capital increase in KION by way of the conversion of the shareholder loan from Superlift and the capital contribution from the Company totalling €1,138 million (less relevant transaction costs and expenses of €5.23 million which were deducted directly from the capital contributions) were recorded as capital contributions for carrying out the approved capital increase in the audited consolidated statements of financial position of the KION Group as at 31 December 2012 (31 December 2010 and 31 December 2011: Nil).

g. Pledge of Assets

As at 31 December 2010, land and buildings in the amount of C12 million were largely pledged as collateral for accrued retirement benefits under partial retirement agreements. The carrying amount of land and buildings being pledged as collateral for accrued retirement benefits remained stable at C12 million as at 31 December 2011. As at 31 December 2012, land and buildings in the amount of C4 million were largely pledged as collateral for accrued retirement benefits under partial retirement agreements.

In addition, under the Senior Credit Agreement and pursuant to the corporate bond issued by the KION Group, the KION Group is under an obligation to provide collateral for its obligations and liabilities. As at 31 December 2010, a total of 21 KION Group companies (as guarantors) in five countries, which include Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Spain and Italy, had provided necessary collateral. As at 31 December 2011, the number of guarantors increased to 26, all being KION Group companies. As at 31 December 2012, the number of guarantors remained at 26. The collateral includes (i) security over the shares or partnership interests in the guarantors and (with the exception of (a) shares in KION Group GmbH and (b) in relation to a particular term loan facility, shares of certain subsidiaries of the KION Group incorporated in Spain) and KION Information Management Services GmbH, (ii) security over certain bank accounts and receivables of the guarantors, (iii) security over certain intellectual property rights held by

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE KION GROUP

certain guarantors, being subsidiaries of the KION Group incorporated in Germany, and (iv) the assignment of claims arising from and in connection with the share purchase agreement between Linde Material Handling GmbH and Linde AG dated 5 November 2006. The statutory provisions in the United Kingdom and the agreements entered into require that all the assets of the UK guarantors, being subsidiaries of the KION Group incorporated in the United Kingdom, are pledged as security under the Senior Credit Agreement. No security has been granted over the assets or shares of KION and KION Holding 2 GmbH, the immediate holding company of KION Group GmbH. The carrying amount of the financial assets pledged as collateral amounted to C709 million as at 31 December 2010, C792 million as at 31 December 2011 and C601 million as at 31 December 2012. The decrease in the carrying amount of the financial assets pledged as collateral in 2012 is mainly attributable to the release of the pledged assets of Linde Hydraulics as a result of its spin off from the KION Group after the Acquisitions.

As at 31 December 2010, liabilities to bank in the amount of C125 thousand were secured by pledges of real property. No liabilities to banks were secured by pledges of real property at the end of 2011 and 2012.

As at 31 December 2010, the KION Group did not have any pledged cash. As at 31 December 2011, the KION Group has pledged cash amounted to C0.5 million, and which remained stable at the amount of C0.5 million as at 31 December 2012. Pledged cash mainly represents cash deposits in certain bank accounts of the KION Group held as a security for its obligations under certain guarantee provided by the KION Group.

h. Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures were C155 million for the year ended 31 December 2012, compared to C133 million in the year ended 31 December 2011 and C123 million in the year ended 31 December 2010, mainly related to product development and streamlining of and adjustments in production, information technology expenditures and the extension of production, especially the expansion of its facilities in China and Brazil.

Capital expenditures are generally financed by the operating cash flows or by drawings under the revolving portion of the Senior Credit Agreement.

i. Exposure to interest rate risk and exchange rate risk

The KION Group is exposed to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates because it finances certain operations through fixed and variable rate debt instruments and because some of its operations and indebtedness are denominated in foreign currencies. The KION Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge underlying operational transactions and does not enter into such financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The KION Group uses interest rate and currency related derivatives, primarily interest rate swaps and currency swaps and also interest rate and currency options, to hedge the interest rate and currency risks arising in connection with acquisition finance, and approximately 50% of the currency and interest rate exposures were hedged as at each of 31 December 2010, 2011and 2012.

– 279 –

APPENDIX III

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE KION GROUP

In terms of hedging of interest rate risks, KION had in place interest rate caps covering approximately 44% and interest rate swaps covering approximately 40% of its interest rate exposure as at 31 December 2010. As at 31 December 2011 and 2012, KION had in place interest rate swaps covering approximately 51% and 48% of its interest rate exposure, respectively. Variable portions of future interest payments amounting to C6 million in total as at 31 December 2012 (31 December 2010: C55 million and 31 December 2011: C27 million) were designated as hedged items.

In terms of hedging of currency risks, as at 31 December 2012, approximately 65% (31 December 2010: 98% and 31 December 2011: 53%) of the currency risks arising from the United States dollar tranche (including payment in kind (PIK) interest) is hedged by currency forwards with an average EUR/USD exchange rate of approximately 1.295 (31 December 2010: 1.375 and 31 December 2011: 1.377). In total, foreign-currency cash flows of C114 million (31 December 2010: C200 million and 31 December 2011: C263 million) were hedged and designated as hedged items as at 31 December 2012.

V. Human Resources

As at 31 December 2012, the KION Group employed 21,215 people ( (full-time equivalents including trainees and apprentices), roughly 65.1% of whom worked outside Germany in 27 different countries. The numbers of employees as at 31 December 2010 and 2011 were 19,968 and 21,862, respectively. The reduction in the number of employees in 2012 is a result of spinning off Linde Hydraulics, where a total of 1,487 employees were transferred to LHY Co on 27 December 2012 and therefore no longer belong to the KION Group.

In line with the expansion in headcount during 2012, personnel expenses advanced to C1,203 million (2010: C968 million and 2011: C1,064 million), representing an increase of 13.0% from 2011. The personnel expenses ratio fell from 27.4% in 2010 to 24.3% in 2011, owing to the increased capacity utilization in all segments of the KION Group on the back of increased market demand. In 2012, the personnel expenses ratio was 25.4%, a slight increase from 24.3% in 2011, mainly due to a higher average number of positions coupled with wage and salary adjustments.

With a total of 543 (2010: 557 and 2011: 621) trainees and apprentices at the end of 2012, the Group continued to invest in training and development at the same high level to ensure that it can continue to recruit as many as possible of the skilled workers it requires in-house. The proportion of trainees and apprentices in Germany remained stable at around 5% since 2010.

Professional training activities start with support for universities, work placements and apprenticeships, continue with professional development opportunities for the workforce and reach their apex with carefully structured personal development programs to support managers and talented staff. The KION Group continued to establish talent and succession management in recent years as a key element of strategic staff development. It has revised its annual management review so as to enable it to fill key positions across the Group with highly qualified executive talent. This tool is used to identify high-potential staff and young talent in the group and then give them targeted support, such as participating in programs in different brand companies and countries.

APPENDIX III

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THE KION GROUP

The KION Group aims to set up a performance-oriented compensation and benefit system while balancing the internal and external market in each different position. The KION Group also applies six key performance indicators, being order intake, revenue, adjusted earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), adjusted earnings before interests, taxes, depreciation, amortization and impairment charges (EBITDA), net financial debt and free cash flow before tax, which form the basis for the performance targets for both the KION Group and its segments as well as determining a significant proportion of senior managers’ performance-related remuneration. Such key performance indicators are determined once a month and submitted to the executive board of KION.

In addition, the KION Group currently grants pensions to almost all employees in Germany and a number of foreign employees under defined contribution and defined benefit plans. For the year ended 31 December 2012, the total expense arising from defined contribution plans amounted to €64 million (31 December 2010: €49 million and 31 December 2011: €56 million). Separately, under applicable IFRS, the amount of the KION Group’s obligation under defined benefit plans is defined as the actuarial present value of the obligation to provide the level of benefits currently earned by each beneficiary. For the year ended 31 December 2012, the KION Group recognised loss on employee benefits of €151 million (2010: loss of €29 million and 2011: gain of €8 million). Such loss mainly represents unrealised actuarial losses which was largely attributable to the low discount rate of 3.5% used in calculating and discounting the present value of the defined benefit pension obligations of the KION Group for the German pension plans for the year ended 31 December 2012 as compared to those in previous years (2010: 5.45% and 2011: 5.65%). Such lower interest rate is generally in line with the low interest rate level in Europe.

VI. Significant investments, acquisitions and disposals

In the view of the management of the KION Group, there were no significant investments held by the KION Group during the years ended 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012. In addition, save for the Acquisitions, there were no other material acquisitions and disposals of subsidiaries and associated companies during the years ended 31 December 2010, 2011 and 2012. In addition, the KION Group currently has no definitive plans nor current intentions for other material investments or capital assets or acquisitions in the coming year.
