tered into with external banks.

sion assets totaling €117 million. Further information on pension

No deferred tax assets were recognized on tax loss carryforwards of
around €8.4 billion (previous year: €1.8 billion), as it can be assumed
that the Group will not be able to use these tax loss carryforwards
within the framework of medium-term tax planning. It will be pos-
sible to utilize these tax loss carryforwards for an indenite period
of time. Most of the loss carryforwards are attributable to Deutsche
Post AG. e substantial year-on-year increase is primarily due to the
results of an external tax audit relating to the opening tax accounts of
Deutsche Post AG.
