16. Long-term deferred income 17. Discontinued operations The restructuring accruals were set up to recognize probable, quantifiable obligations in the balance sheet. The accruals for environmental risks relate to possible obligations to recultivate land and remedy contamination at two locations. This amount includes 3,000 thousand euros for possible obligations assumed in connection with the acquisition of an MDF plant from “Hornitex Werke Nidda Kunststoff- und Holzwerkstoffplatten GmbH & Co. KG”. Long-term deferred income includes the proceeds from the sale of receivables from a lease agreement that are not due until later years (non-recourse financing). The deferred income is released to income in installments at the due dates of the corresponding lease payments. The outstanding residual amount from the non-recourse financing agreement amounted as of December 31, 2004 to 2,495 thousand euros (2003: 4,278 thousand euros). It is subject to interest at the customary market rates. The agreement expires on May 1, 2007.

This is a joint venture company in which Fuhrländer AG holds a majority interest and exercises control. Pfleiderer AG has a put option allowing it to offer its interest to Fuhrländer AG after a period of three years. WINDTEC Anlagenerrichtungs- und Consulting GmbH was sold in March 2004 to the Gerald Hehenberger-Privatstiftung, Klagenfurt, Austria.
