With the goal to enhance the transparency of the presentation, certain items of the bal-ance sheet and income statement have been summarized, but are detailed further down in the notes.

Income and expenses from currency translation are recognized in the notes under other operating income and expenses.

5 ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Purchased intangible assets are carried at cost less straight-line amortization over an estimated useful life of no more than four years. Internally developed intangible assets that are part of non-current assets are not recognized.
Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less straight-line depreciation over the assets’ estimated useful life. Pursuant to Sec. 255 (1) HGB, cost also includes inciden-tal purchase costs and post-acquisition expenses, allowing for acquisition cost deductions. Costs include direct materials and labor costs, special production costs, and materials and production overheads to an attributables extent as well as the impairment of non-current assets insofar as it is caused by production. Research, sales costs and interest on debt are not taken into account. Factory and office buildings are depreciated over a maxi-mum period of 50 years, building fixtures and fittings over 10 years, production plant and machinery over eight years, and other plant, factory and office equipment up to 15 years, but generally between two and five years. Movable items of property, plant and equipment recognized up to December 31, 2009 are depreciated according to the declining balance method, applying the maximum rates permitted by tax regulations. For assets received after that date, the declining balance method is only applied if it corresponds with the actual impairment of non-current assets. Low-value assets with a value up to EUR 150 are recognized immediately as expenses. Low-value assets with a value between EUR 150 and EUR 410 are recognized, fully expensed and written off in the fiscal year of acquisition.
Within financial assets, the shares in Group companies and investments are stated at the lower of cost or, where long-term impairment appears probable, at realizable value.
Non or low-interest bearing loans are disclosed at their present value, while loans car-ried at the customary market interest rate are disclosed at nominal value. Discounting and compounding are shown as write-downs or write-ups respectively in the asset history sheet. Non-current assets whose carrying amounts, when determined according to the above-mentioned principles, exceed the lower current values are written down accord-ingly.
Exchange rate gains and losses from foreign currency denominated financial assets are recognized under other operating income or expenses.
In the case of inventories, raw materials, consumables and supplies as well as mer-chandise and prepayments are recognized at the lower of average cost or reference values. Work in progress as well as services not yet billed are recognized at cost; average costs are comprised of direct costs of materials and labor, material costs and production overheads as well as the decline in the value of fixed assets. Sufficient impairments are recorded for inventory risks arising from storage time and reduced value. Costs do not include interest on debt.
Prepayments received on account of orders or discounts on services that have already been rendered but not yet invoiced are recognized at nominal value and directly offset against inventories.
Receivables and other assets are stated at principal or par, less any necessary allow-ances for bad debts, etc. Adequate general allowances provide for the normal collection risk. Non or low-interest receivables with a remaining term of more than one year are discounted.
Derivative financial instruments are reported at fair value. Provisions for contingent losses are recognized for those derivatives which have negative fair values where they are
1010 NOTES TO dräGErwErk AG & CO. kGAA SiNGLE ENTiTy FiNANCiAL STATEMENTS 2015
not part of a valuation unit. If the market value cannot be reliably determined, the fair value is derived from the market value of similar derivatives or calculated with the help of established measurement methods such as the discounted cash flow method (present value approach) and the Black Scholes model (in the case of options). The applied yield curves and exchange rates that are in line with the market are the primary factors for these models.
Bank balances are stated at the nominal value.Deferred taxes are calculated for temporary differences between the values of non-
current and current assets as well as prepaid expenses, provisions and liabilities under commercial law and tax law, which in all probability will be reversed in the future. Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA, in its role as parent company, includes the differences from its own balance sheet items as well as those from consolidated tax group. Tax loss carry–forwards and interest carryforwards are recognized in addition to these temporary dif-ferences. Deferred taxes are determined on the basis of the income tax rate applicable to Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA’s fiscal unit. The deferred taxes are measured at the amount expected to be paid or recovered in subsequent fiscal years. Deferred tax assets from loss and interest carryforwards are only recognized if it is sufficiently probable that they will be realized within the next five years.
For accounting purposes, series D participation capital is reported as equity due to the terms and conditions upon which the participation certificates are based. Therefore, it is shown on a separate line in addition to the statutory classification format, under equity and Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA’s net earnings. The par value of this participation capital is disclosed in the previous column. Although participation capital is treated as accounting equity, the underlying participation rights maintain their obligatory nature under law. Therefore, the premium yielded over and above the par value can be neither transferred to the capital reserve nor allocated otherwise. Hence it follows that this pre-mium continues to be an integral part of the balance sheet item “Participation capital”. The dividends for series D participation certificates reduce the net profit or increase the net loss for the period. The underlying dividend distribution is shown on a separate line of the income statement immediately preceding net profit/loss.
Series A and K participation capital is reclassified as non-current debt because the terms and conditions of these participation certificates include a minimum dividend and no loss transfer. Civil law considerations require that any profit distributed in favor of participation capital must be offset against net profit. The dividends for series A and K participation certificates are recognized in the interest result.
The actuarial calculations for determining pension obligations are based on biomet-ric probability (2005 G Heubeck mortality table) and use the projected unit credit meth-od. The calculation also takes into account future expected wages/salary and pension increases. The underlying interest rate for compounding and discounting of pension obli-gations is based on the average market rate of the past seven fiscal years for an anticipated remaining term of 15 years determined and published by Deutsche Bundesbank.
The company pension plan for the German Group companies introduced on January 1, 2005, is composed of three levels – the employer-funded basic level, employee-funded top-up level and employer-funded supplementary level. The pension cost for the employer-funded basic level is based on the respective employee’s income. The employee-funded top-up level allows employees to increase their pension entitlement through deferred com-
11NOTESANNUAL FiNANCiAL STATEMENTS MANAGEMENT rEPOrT
pensation. The contribution made at the employer-funded supplementary level depends on the employee contribution through deferred compensation and on Dräger Group’s business performance (EBIT).
The employees’ pension accounts have a minimum guaranteed return of 2.75 percent. The funds resulting from the new pension plan are invested in a restricted fund set up especially for Dräger that is subject to special restraints on disposal. The measurement is carried out at fair value, which is offset against the respective underlying obligations. If the result is a backlog of obligations, this amount is recognized in pension provisions. If the value of the plan assets exceeds the obligations, it is recognized in “Excess of plan assets over pension liability”.
Provisions adequately allow for all identifiable risks in accordance with prudent business judgment and contingent liabilities. The amount recognized reflects the sum required to fulfill the obligations according to prudent business judgment. Future price and cost increases are taken into consideration if there is sufficient evidence to substan-tiate their actual occurrence. Non-current provisions are discounted at the market rate relating to their remaining terms published by Bundesbank.
Expenses incurred from the compounding of provisions are recognized separately in “Interest and similar expenses”.
Liabilities are stated at the amount repayable.Contingent liabilities are valued at the best estimate as of the possible liabilities as of
the balance sheet date. For contingent liabilities from guarantees, suretyships and war-ranty/indemnity contracts, the loan sums actually drawn as of the balance sheet date are disclosed in addition to the guaranteed ceilings.
The other financial obligations under contracts are measured at their nominal value and disclosed in the notes.

DEFERRED TAX ASSETS
In total, Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA, in its role as parent company, expected future tax relief of EUR 57,751 thousand (2014: EUR 36,729 thousand) from temporary differences and from tax loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2015. Deferred taxes are determined on the basis of a 31.5 percent income tax rate (2014: 30.92 percent). Income taxes include corporate income tax and the corresponding solidarity surcharge as well as trade tax. The increase in deferred taxes was primarily due to the change in temporary differences in current assets and provisions.

EXCESS OF PLAN ASSETS OVER PENSION LIAbILITy
Plan assets were offset against the underlying obligations from the new pension plan in accordance with Sec. 246 (2) Sentence 2 HGB. If the fair value of plan assets exceeds the amount of pension obligations, the difference is recognized in “Excess of plan assets over pension liability”.
The fair value of plan assets stated in the table below was derived from the stock exchange price of the plan assets at the balance sheet date, if these pertained to fund shares.

The plan assets are shares in a restricted fund set up exclusively for Dräger (WKN – secu-rities identification number – A0HG1B) and a settlement account. They are managed by AllianzGI-Fonds as a trustee for Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA and their access is restricted for other creditors.
The fund and the settlement account serve to safeguard pension obligations made under the new pension plan and are subject to special restraints on disposal.
CAPITAL STOCK
The subscribed capital of Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA amounts to EUR 45,465,600 (2014: EUR 44,185,600).
Capital stock is divided into 10,160,000 no-par bearer shares and 7,600,000 (2014: 7,100,000) no-par preferred shares. Drägerwerk Verwaltungs AG, the general part-ner, holds no shares in capital.
The annual shareholders’ meeting on May 7, 2010, resolved to conditionally increase the Company’s capital stock up to EUR 3,200,000 by issuing up to 1,250,000 new no-par preferred bearer shares (no-par shares) in return for cash and/or contributions in kind (conditional capital). The conditional capital was used for issuing the option rights to Siemens AG, Munich. On August 30, 2010, Dräger issued warrant bonds to the total nomi-nal amount of EUR 1.25 million to Siemens AG, Munich. The option rights entitle their holders to acquire a total of 1.25 million preferred shares. The options rights expired on April 30, 2015 and are divided into 25 individual options, entitling holders to acquire 50,000 preferred shares each. They have a total term of five years.
The following option rights were exercised in fiscal year 2015.

Capital stock increased by EUR 1,280 following the exercising of ten options of 50,000 preferred shares each in 2015 (500,000 preferred shares) and purchases from conditional capital. As of December 31, 2015, no conditional capital resulted from the exercising of option rights.
In accordance with the resolution agreed upon at the annual shareholders’ meeting on May 6, 2011, the general partner is entitled to increase the Company’s capital until May 5, 2016, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, by up to EUR 21,132,800 (approved capi-tal) by issuing new bearer common shares and/or preferred shares (no-par value shares) in return for cash and/or contributions in kind, in either one or several tranches.
The authorization includes the approval to issue new common shares and/or preferred shares, which carry the same status as the previously issued preferred shares with regard to the distribution of profits and/or Company assets. The statutory maximum capital as stipulated in Sec. 139 (2) AktG is to be taken into account: No more than half of the capi-tal stock may be issued as preferred shares. Shareholders must be given a subscription right that can be excluded, with the approval of the Supervisory Board, under certain conditions. In the case of common and preferred shares being issued together, the right of holders of one share type to subscribe to the other type of shares (“crossed exclusion of subscription rights”) can be excluded.
By resolution of the annual shareholders’ meeting on May 4, 2012, the general partner was authorized to acquire until May 3, 2017, up to 10 percent in own shares of both types (common and/or preferred shares) of the Company’s capital stock as of the date of reso-lution or – if this value is lower – as of the date on which the authorization is exercised. Together with all other shares held by the Company or attributable to it according to Secs. 71 a et seq. AktG, shares purchased under this provision may at no time equal more than 10 percent of capital stock. The authorization may not be used for the purpose of trading in treasury shares.
All shares have been fully paid in. As before, the preferred shares are traded on the capi-tal market. The new common shares were first admitted to the regulated market (Prime Standard) on July 2, 2010.
Other than voting rights, the preferred shares have the same rights as those attached to the common shares. As compensation for the lack of voting rights, an advance dividend of EUR 0.13 per preferred share is distributed from net earnings.
If sufficient profits are available, a dividend of EUR 0.13 per common share is then paid. Any profit in excess of this amount, if distributed, is allocated so that preferred shares receive EUR 0.06 more than common shares.
If the profit is not sufficient to distribute the advance dividend for preferred shares in one or more years, the amounts are paid from the profit of subsequent fiscal years before a dividend is paid on common shares.
If amounts in arrears are not paid in the next year along with the full preferred divi-dend for that year, the preferred shareholders have voting rights until the arrears have been paid.
In the event of liquidation, the preferred shareholders receive 25 percent of net liqui-dation proceeds in advance. The remaining liquidation proceeds are distributed evenly among all shares.

This amounted to EUR 53,136 thousand as of December 31, 2015 (2014: EUR 17,730 thousand) and is therefore EUR 7,063 thousand higher than the acquisition costs of EUR 46,074 thousand (2014: EUR 15,461 thousand). The increase in plan assets in 2015 is mainly due to the merger with Dräger Medical GmbH.
The amount in excess of the acquisition costs was offset by freely available retained earnings of EUR 199,191 thousand (2014: EUR 199,191 thousand), free capital reserves of EUR 582 thousand (2014: EUR 582 thousand) as well as net earnings of EUR 365,976 thou-sand (2014: EUR 459,122 thousand).

Please refer to the explanations in Note 5.The terms and conditions underlying the series K participation certificates differ from
those for the (series A) certificates outstanding up to June 30, 1991 in that their holders may give five years’ notice of termination, however, it is not to take effect prior to Decem-ber 31, 2021; the period of termination thereafter is again five years.
Since the 1997 annual shareholders’ meeting, series D participation certificates have been floated; their terms and conditions have been amended primarily in terms of their minimum yield, loss-sharing concept for participation certificates and adequate cumula-tive, compensatory terms. The cases in which the minimum return is not paid are the same as those in which the preferred dividend is not paid. As with the subsequent pay-ment of preferred dividends, the dividend for participation certificates is paid in arrears. Series D participation certificate holders may exercise their calling right every five years with five years’ notice as of calendar year-end, however, not to take effect prior to Decem-ber 31, 2026. Series D participation certificates are stated in equity.
Since December 1, 1999, the par value of participation certificates has amounted to EUR 25.56. Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA does not intend to terminate the participation certificates. If the participation certificate holder exercises the calling right, the amount repayable shall equal the average mean rate of the last three months at the Hamburg Stock Exchange or a maximum of the weighted average issue price of this tranche.
The dividend for participation certificates is ten times the preferred share dividend, as the par value of the securities was originally identical, but the arithmetic par value of the preferred share has since been reduced to one tenth of the original par value.
For details, please refer to the terms and conditions of series A, K and D participation certificates.

PROVISIONS
Provisions for pensions and similar obligationsThe pension obligations for fiscal year 2015 were calculated using the generally recognized projected unit credit method. In addition, the calculation also takes into account future expected wages/salary and pension increases. The underlying interest rate for compound-ing and discounting of pension obligations is based on the average market rate of the past seven fiscal years for an anticipated remaining term of 15 years determined and published by Deutsche Bundesbank. The pension obligations were calculated using an interest rate of 3.89 percent (2014: 4.55 percent).
Direct pension provisions are calculated based on the following assumptions:

The risk of properties with long-term lease contracts standing empty, as a result of the medical division’s new building in Lübeck, has been accounted for in other provisions with EUR 5.0 million. These provisions are based on the valid lease contracts.
Provisions in the amount of EUR 3,289 thousand were set up for expected losses from the settlement of currency forwards (derivative financial instruments) in fiscal year 2015.
Non-current provisions have had to be discounted and compounded following the com-mencement of the Financial Accounting Law Modernization Act (BilMoG) on January 1, 2010. The compounding of provisions conducted in this context is reflected in the interest result.

Interest expense from pension obligations is offset against the original income from plan assets in accordance with Sec. 246 (2) Sentence 2 HGB. In fiscal year 2015, interest income from plan assets amounted to EUR 1,105 thousand, and interest expense from pen-sion obligations amounted to EUR 6,818 thousand resulting in a net amount of EUR 5,713 thousand in 2015.
Effects from the change in interest rates in the calculation of pension provisions and the change in the fair value of plan assets are recognized in personnel expense or other operating expenses.
Interest income from Group companies amounted to EUR 3,132 thousand. The year-over-year increase is mainly due to the merger with Dräger Medical GmbH.
The year-over-year decline in interest expense is the result of note loans redeemed in March and April 2015 as well as the low dividend for participation certificates.
EXTRAORDINARy EXPENSES
Extraordinary expenses of EUR 64.7 million are recognized in fiscal year 2015. These expenses relate to the loss from the merger with Dräger Medical GmbH, consequently, the difference is between the net assets of Dräger Medical GmbH and the carrying amount of the shares in Dräger Medical GmbH as of December 31, 2014; extraordinary expenses also relate to the loss resulting from the absorption of HAMUS.

In fiscal year 2015, Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA, in its role as parent company, recognized deferred tax income of EUR 21,022 thousand from temporary differences and from tax loss carryforwards (2014: deferred tax expense of EUR 11,913 thousand). Deferred taxes are determined on the basis of a 31.5 percent income tax rate (2014: 30.92 percent). Income taxes include corporate income tax and the corresponding solidarity surcharge as well as trade tax.

DISTRIbUTION FOR PARTICIPATION CAPITAL
The distribution for series D participation certificates is shown in a separate line, “Distri-bution for participation capital”, in the income statement, after taxes and before net loss/profit. The dividends for series A and K participation certificates are recognized in the interest result. Therefore, the participation capital dividend is determined above the line and thus reduces net profit (or increases net loss). The claim to annual dividends under the terms of Sec. 2 (1) of the terms and conditions of the participation certificates corre-sponds to ten times the cash dividend for the Company’s preferred shares, hence EUR 1.90 per participation certificate.
DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
To hedge against currency and interest rate risks, derivatives are used, predominantly currency forwards and interest rate swaps. Such contracts are only transacted with com-mercial banks with high credit rating standing and confined to finance transactions. The volume of currency forwards substantially includes exchange rate hedges for operations-related underlying transactions and intercompany loans. Fair values are determined on the basis of a mark to market calculation as of the reporting date.

Interest rate hedges An interest rate hedge in the form of a swap was concluded to hedge the interest portion of the lease payment for the new building (hedging item); this hedge suitably offsets the interest portion. As a result, a micro-valuation unit exists.
The prospective test as of December 31, 2015, indicates that the key parameters of the hedging item and the hedge that are relevant to the valuation – term, benchmark interest rate, calculation of interest rates, repayment and nominal amount – tally. Consequently, the valuation unit is classified as highly effective over the entire hedging period.
It is expected that the changes in the value of the hedging item and the hedging instru-ment will therefore be fully offset over the next eight years. The net hedge presentation method is used to present the offsetting change in value resulting from the valuation unit.
The risks hedged by the micro-valuation unit amount to EUR 3.2 million; this is the amount of the negative changes in value and cash flows that had been avoided as of the balance sheet date.

OThER FINANCIAL ObLIGATIONS
Consignment warehousing agreementsAs of the balance sheet date, Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA states activities related to con-signment warehousing agreements on the balance sheet. These are reported both under inventories as well as trade payables EUR 11.5 million (2014: EUR 0.0 million). The con-signment stock refers to the goods stored at Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA; until such time as the stock is reported as having been withdrawn in the legal sense, this stock remains the property of the supplier. This provides a number of benefits: On the one hand, this offers the highest level of security and, on the other hand, reduces capital commitments as suppliers will only invoice the Company once the stock has been withdrawn from the warehouse.
Specific contractual arrangements with these suppliers mean that both the economic benefits and the economic risks lie with Drägerwerk AG & Co. KGaA. This means that the amounts reported on the balance sheet under both inventories and liabilities are the same.
Rental and lease agreements As of the balance sheet date, other financial obligations from long-term rental and lease agreements come to approximately EUR 129.6 million, of which approximately EUR 49.5 million are to Group companies. The annual charge comes to approximately EUR 10.8 million, of which EUR 4.2 million are to Group companies.
Other financial obligations mainly relate to the real estate lease agreement with MOLVINA Vermietungsgesellschaft mbH & Co. Objekt Finkenstraße KG concerning the new office and development building and the real estate lease agreement with DRENITA Grundstücksvermietungsgesellschaft mbH & Co. Objekt Fertigung Dräger Medizintech-nik KG concerning the new production and logistics building on Revalstraße, Lübeck.
