[34] Contingent liabilities and other financial commitments
Contingent liabilities
The increase in guarantees essentially resulted from a new guarantee granted to the trustees of UK pension funds in 2014. Of the total guarantees, €0.9 million related to contingent liabilities assumed jointly with another shareholder of a joint venture (2013: €2.1 million). > TABLE 085

Litigation
The legal risks arising from the KION Group’s business are typical of those faced by any company operating in this sector. The Group companies are a party in a number of pending lawsuits in various countries. The individual companies cannot assume with any degree of certainty that they will win any of the lawsuits or that the existing risk provision in the form of insurance or provisions will be sufficient in each individual case. However, the KION Group believes it is unlikely that these ongoing lawsuits will require funds to be utilised that exceed the provisions recognised.
Other financial commitments
Sundry other financial commitments included future payment obligations to an associate amounting to €21.0 million (2013: €0.0 million). > TABLE 086

The future minimum lease payments for sale and leaseback transactions not recognised in the statement of financial position amounting to €45.3 million (2013: €60.7 million) are partially offset by payments received under non-cancellable sub-leases amounting to €4.1 million (2013: €3.9 million). The future payments also include obligations arising from the refinancing of industrial trucks for which there are no offsetting receipts under short-term sub-leases.
