Due to the current global economic situation, the Group has given up the plans to divest the entities reported as discontinued operations in the previous year. The plastics operations of the Polynorm Group as well as the French company Amstutz Levin & Cie (Automotive Division) are again reported under continuing operations in the consolidated financial statements 2009/10.
Due to the fact that these entities are reported under continuing operations again, the profit from operations (EBIT) has been positively affected by EUR 1.3 million. The retroactively adjusted profit from operations (EBIT) for the business year 2008/09 is EUR 27.2 million lower than the reported figure of the previous year.
