RECONCILIATION OF BALANCE SHEET ITEMS TO CLASSES OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The following table shows the reconciliation of the balance sheet items to the relevant classes of financial instruments, broken down by carrying amount and fair value of the financial instruments.

The fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost, such as receivables and liabilities, is calculated by discounting using a market rate of interest for a similar risk and matching maturity. For reasons of materiality, the fair value of current balance sheet items is deemed to be their carrying amount.

The allocation of fair values to the three levels in the fair value hierarchy is based on the availability of observable market prices in an active market. Level 1 is used to report the fair value of financial instruments for which a quoted price is available. These include, for example, marketable securities and other equity investments measured at fair value. Fair values in Level 2, e.g. of derivatives, are measured on the basis of market inputs such as exchange rates or yield curves using market-based valuation techniques. Level 3 fair values are calculated using valuation techniques that incorporate inputs that are not directly observable in active markets. In the Volkswagen Group, Level 3 fair values comprise long-term commodity futures because the prices available on the market must be extrapolated for measurement purposes. Options on equity instruments and residual value protection models are also reported in Level 3.

The transfers out of Level 3 into Level 2 comprise commodity futures for which observable quoted prices are now available again for measurement purposes due to the decline in their remaining maturities; consequently, no extrapolation is required.

Commodity prices are the key risk variable for the fair value of commodity futures. Sensitivity analyses are used to present the effect of changes in commodity prices on profit after tax and equity. Starting in fiscal year 2011, the effect of changes in commodity prices is reported net of tax. The prior-year figures were adjusted to aid comparability.

If commodity prices for commodity futures classified as Level 3 had been 10% higher (lower) as of December 31, 2011, profit would have been €34 million (previous year: €5 million) and equity €38 million (previous year: €36 million) higher (lower).

The key risk variable for measuring options on equity instruments held by the Company is the relevant enterprise value. Sensitivity analyses are used to present the effect of changes in risk variables on profit.

If the assumed enterprise values had been 10% higher, profit would have been €1,322 million (previous year: €429 million) higher. If the assumed enterprise values had been 10% lower, profit would have been €1,324 million (previous year: €459 million) lower.

Residual value risks result from hedging agreements with dealers under which earnings effects caused by market-related fluctuations in residual values that arise from buy-back obligations under leases are borne in part by the Volkswagen Group.

The key risk variable influencing the fair value of the options relating to residual value risks is used car prices. Sensitivity analyses are used to quantify the effects of changes in used car prices on earnings after tax.

If the prices for the used cars covered by the residual value protection model had been 10% higher as of December 31, 2011, profit after tax would have been €141 million higher. If the prices for the used cars covered by the residual value protection model had been 10% lower as of December 31, 2011, profit after tax would have been €127 million lower.
