Land and buildings in the amount of €18.3 million (31 December 2012: €4.2 million) were largely pledged as collateral for accrued retirement benefits under partial retirement agreements.

The KION Group did not recognise any significant impairment losses in accordance with IAS 36 on other property, plant and equipment in 2013. Of the impairment losses recognised in 2012, which predominantly related to the planned closure of production sites, €12.3 million was attributable to land and buildings and €4.0 million to plant & machinery and office furniture & equipment.

Plant & machinery and office furniture & equipment include assets from procurement leases (finance leases) amounting to €13.3 million (31 December 2012: €15.5 million). Depreciation on these assets came to €3.7 million in 2013. The corresponding liabilities are reported as other financial liabilities.
