The reduction in cash and cash equivalents was
largely due to the purchase of marketable securities
which are held as a liquidity reserve. Liquid funds
(marketable securities and cash and cash equiva-
lents) increased by euro 78 million compared to the
previous year.
Net interest-bearing assets (cash and cash
equivalents and marketable securities less debt)
relating to industrial operations increased by euro
136 million to euro 1,816 million.
Net assets position
The balance sheet total of the BMW Group increased
by 10.7% to euro 61,475 million. The main factors
behind this increase on the assets side of the balance
sheet were the increased level of receivables from
sales financing (+12.6%), property, plant and equip-
ment (+13.2%) and other receivables (+ 18.6%).
On the equity and liabilities side of the balance sheet,
the main changes occurred in equity (+16.4%),
other provisions (+16.9%), debt (+4.5%) and de-
ferred tax liabilities (+67.6%). Currency fluctuations,
mainly in connection with the low
US
dollar exchange
rate, reduced the balance sheet total by euro 3,042
million. Adjusted for changes in exchange rates, the
balance sheet total would have risen by 16.2%.
Intangible assets increased by 16.7% to euro
3,200 million. Within intangible assets, capitalised
development costs increased by 15.9% to euro
3,011 million. Development costs recognised as
assets during the financial year 2003 amounted to
euro 996 million (+16.1%). Depreciation and dis-
posals amounted to euro 583 million (+8.8%). The
total carrying amount of property, plant and equip-
ment increased by 13.2% to euro 9,708 million.The
bulk of capital expenditure was used to expand the
production network. In total, euro 3,152 million was
invested in property, plant and equipment (+1.1%).
