The consolidated financial statements of Deutsche EuroShop AG have been prepared in accordance with the Inter- national Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), including the interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and the supplementary provisions of German commercial law required to be applied under section 315a (1) of the Handelsgesetzbuch (HGB – German Commercial Code).

Amounts are mainly presented in thousands of €. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements necessitates the use of estimates and assumptions. These affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the balance sheet date, as well as the recognition of income and expenses during the reporting period. The actual amounts can differ from these estimates. Expected cash flows and the discount factor in particular are critical parameters for the measurement of investment properties. The consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2013 were approved by the Audit Committee of the Super- visory Board on 15 April 2014 and are expected to be approved at the Supervisory Board’s financial statements review meeting on 23 April 2014.
