Selected notes to the consolidated statement of financial position

Non-current assets

The decline in goodwill in the first six months of 2013 resulted from exchange-rate differences of € 2.5 million.

Impairment losses of € 1.2 million were recognised on capitalised development costs in the first half of 2013 to reflect the lack of opportunities to use them in future as a result of the planned closure of a production site. This relates to further impairment losses in connection with the closure of the heavy truck plant in Merthyr Tydfil (Linde Material Handling segment).

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.
