1) The debt securities issued by quasi-governm<strong>en</strong>tal <strong>en</strong>tities include securities of EUR 230 (191) million<br />

which are guaranteed by the Federal Republic of Germany, other EU states or German federal states<br />

The item “Mortgage bonds, asset-backed securities” includes German covered bonds (Pfandbriefe)<br />

with a carrying amount of EUR 1,424 (998) million (99 [99]%).<br />

The Group reclassified fixed-income securities with a total market value of EUR 1.3 billion from<br />

“Financial assets available for sale” to the category “Financial assets held to maturity”. The securities<br />

gave rise to accumulated hidd<strong>en</strong> reserves totalling EUR 47 million which, on account of the<br />

reclassification, were amortised over the remaining maturities of the securities and recognised in<br />

income. These securities are available at any time to the relevant Group companies, taking cash flow<br />

projections into account. The option and int<strong>en</strong>tion of holding these assets to maturity <strong>en</strong>ables the<br />

companies to reduce the volatility of their balance sheets.<br />
