Level 1 comprises available-for-sale assets for which the fair value is calculated using prices quoted in an active market.

All interest-rate swaps and currency forwards are classified as Level 2. The fair value of interest rate swaps is calculated as the present value of the estimated future cash flows. Both contractually agreed payments and forward interest rates are used to estimate the future cash flows, which are then discounted on the basis of a yield curve that is observable in the market. The fair value of currency forwards is calculated by the system using the discounting method based on forward rates on the reporting date.

The financial assets and liabilities allocated to Level 3 relate to a put option of Linde Material Handling, Aschaffenburg, and Weichai’s two call options on the remaining shares in Linde Hydraulics. The Black-Scholes model is used to calculate the fair value of the put option and the two call options. At 30 June 2013, the material changes in fair value and the impact on the income statement for the period were as follows. >> TABLE 28

The fair values are measured using probability-weighted scenario analysis, on which the key, unobservable input parameters in the following table are based.

As at 30 June 2013, the net value calculated for the options on the remaining shares in Linde Hydraulics came to minus € 13.6 million (31 December 2012: € 3.2 million). If the fair value of the shares had been 10 per cent lower on the reporting date, the net value arising from the options would have increased by € 9.6 million (31 December 2012: € 8.3 million) to minus € 4.0 million (31 December 2012: € 11.5 million) and led to a lower expense of € 9.6 million (31 December 2012: additional gain of € 8.3 million). A 10 per cent rise in the fair value of the shares in Linde Hydraulics on the reporting date would have reduced the net value arising from the options by € 9.7 million (31 December 2012: € 9.0 million) to minus € 23.3 million (31 December 2012: € 5.8 million) and led to an expense of € 9.7 million (31 December 2012: € 9.0 million).

In order to eliminate default risk to the greatest possible extent, the KION Group only enters into derivatives with investment-grade counterparties.

If events or changes in circumstances make it necessary to reclassify financial instruments as a different level, they are reclassified at the end of a reporting period. No financial instruments were transferred between Levels 1, 2 or 3 in the first half of 2013.
