The above net gains and losses do not include losses arising on hedging transactions, which amounted to €20.9 million (2014: €7.5 million), because these losses form part of a documented hedge. Gains / losses arising on hedging transactions forming part of a documented hedge are predominantly included in other income and other expenses.
Offsetting of financial instruments
The potential offsetting volume essentially arises from netting arrangements in framework agreements governing derivatives trading that the KION Group concludes with commercial banks. The potential offsetting volume reported in connection with financial collateral issued relates to collateral provided in the context of the SFA serving as collateral in case of default for the creditors of all SFA tranches (including H2a), subject to the usual limitations and agreed recovery principles. The following tables show actual offsetting and potential offsetting volumes for financial assets and financial liabilities. > TABLES 098 – 101

Fair value measurement
The majority of the cash and cash equivalents, loans, financial receivables, other non-derivative receivables and liabilities, trade receivables and trade payables held by the Group have short remaining terms to maturity. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments are roughly equal to their fair values. The fair value of liabilities to banks corresponds to the present value of the outstanding payments, taking account of the current interest-rate curve and the Group’s own default risk. This fair value, calculated for the purposes of disclosure in the notes to the financial statements, is classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of the corporate bond issued, calculated for disclosure in the notes to the financial statements, is determined using publicly quoted prices in an active market and is therefore classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The calculation is based on the middle rate applicable on the reporting date.
The fair value of receivables and liabilities from finance leases corresponds to the present value of the net lease payments, taking account of the current market interest rate for similar leases.
With the exception of derivative financial instruments, long-term securities and shares in non-consolidated subsidiaries recognised at fair value, all financial assets and liabilities are measured at amortised cost.
The following tables show the assignment of fair values to the individual classification levels as defined by IFRS 7 for financial instruments measured at fair value. > TABLES 102 – 103

Level 1 comprises long-term securities for which the fair value is calculated using prices quoted in an active market.
All currency forwards are classified as Level 2. In the previous year, Level 2 had also included interest-rate swaps on an insignificant scale. The fair value of derivative financial instruments is determined using appropriate valuation methods on the basis of the observable market information at the reporting date. The default risk for the Group and for the counterparty is taken into account on the basis of gross figures. The fair value of currency forwards is calculated by the system using the discounting method based on forward rates on the reporting date. 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 shares in non-consolidated subsidiaries allocated to Level 3 relate to the shares in Moden Diesel S.p.A. (formerly MODEN DIESEL S.R.L.), which were acquired in October 2015, and the shares in LR Intralogistik GmbH, which were acquired at the end of October 2015. Because the acquisitions took place shortly before the reporting date, the purchase consideration reflects the fair value.
The derivative financial liabilities allocated to Level 3 relate to a call option of Weichai Power on the 10.0 per cent of the shares in Linde Hydraulics remaining as at 31 December 2015. The Black-Scholes model and probability-weighted scenario analysis are used to calculate the fair value of the call option. The measurement is based on the following significant, unobservable input parameters as at 31 December 2015. An amount of €21.4 million has been recognised as the fair value of the underlying portion of the shares in Linde Hydraulics (31 December 2014: €21.4 million). A base exercise price of €38.7 million (31 December 2014: €38.7 million) and a term to maturity of 2.54 years (31 December 2014: 0.49–2.99 years) have been assumed for call option 2.
In the prior year, a put option held by Linde Material Handling GmbH, Aschaffenburg, and Weichai Power’s call option 1 on some of the shares in Linde Hydraulics had also been allocated to Level 3. On 20 July 2015, the KION Group exercised the put option that it held via Linde Material Handling GmbH, Aschaffenburg, on 20.0 per cent of the shares in Linde Hydraulics. This eliminated the corresponding call option 1 held by Weichai Power. The following table shows the material changes in fair value and the impact on the income statement. > TABLE 104

As at 31 December 2015, the fair value calculated for call option 2 on the shares in Linde Hydraulics came to minus €0.6 million (31 December 2014: net value arising from the options of €31.7 million). If the fair value of the shares had been 10.0 per cent lower on the reporting date, the fair value of call option 2 (31 December 2014: net value arising from the options) would have increased by €0.2 million (31 December 2014: by €5.3 million) to minus €0.3 million (31 December 2014: €37.1 million) and led to an additional gain of €0.2 million (31 December 2014: gain of €5.3 million). A 10.0 per cent rise in the fair value of the shares in Linde Hydraulics would have reduced the fair value of call option 2 (31 December 2014: net value arising from the options) by minus €0.3 million (31 December 2014: by €5.6 million) to minus €0.9 million (31 December 2014: €26.2 million) and led to an expense of €0.3 million (31 December 2014: €5.6 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. As had been the case in 2014, no financial instruments were transferred between Levels 1, 2 or 3 in 2015.
