Other financial assets include investments in affiliated
companies that are not consolidated, other investments
and loans.They are reported at acquisition costs.Reduc-
tions for other than temporary declines in these finan-
cial assets are recorded pursuant to IAS 25 (Accounting
for Investments). Reductions in carrying amounts
may be reversed when the reasons for the reduction
no longer exist.
(25) Inventories
Inventories are classified as follows:
Finished goods and work in progress are accounted
for at cost, moving average prices or under the LIFO
method.Valuation of inventories under the LIFO
method resulted in a positive difference of 4 million

Major valuation allowances for these inventory items
were not necessary.
Raw materials and supplies include postage stamps
not yet used, heating fuel and spare parts for freight
mail centers,some of which are stated at standard
costs.All other raw materials and supplies are account-
ed for at moving or weighted average prices,with
a lower current price as of the balance sheet closing
date.

nominal value net of appropriate valuation allowances.

services to receivables and other assets.The previous
years figures were restated accordingly.
