Consolidated Financial Statements
Report by the Supervisory Board
The Supervisory Board took note of and concurred with the results of the
audit. The Supervisory Board itself also examined the annual financial state-
ments and management report, the Board of Management’s report on affiliated
companies, and the consolidated financial statements and Group management
report, and discussed these at length at its finance meeting on March 21, 2002
in the presence of the auditors. The auditors reported on the results of their
audit and were available to answer questions.
No objections were raised by the Supervisory Board, and it therefore approved
the annual financial statements and the report on affiliated companies prepared
by the Board of Management, and concurred with the management report.
The annual financial statements were thereby adopted.The Supervisory Board
endorsed the Board of Management’s proposal for the appropriation of net
retained profits.
The following changes were made in fiscal year 2001 in the composition of
the Supervisory Board:
Adolf Kracht,Dr. Klaus Rauscher and Prof. Dr. Jürgen Richter stepped down

and Marion Deutsch joined as a new member on September 1, 2001. Armin
Stoffleth, who retired from the Supervisory Board as of August 31, 2001, was
replaced by Frank von Alten-Bockum, who became a member as of September 1,
2001. The Deputy Chairman of the Supervisory Board, Kurt van Haaren, left
the Board at the end of the fiscal year on December 31, 2001. Rolf Büttner was
