Consolidated Notes
B. Basic accounting principles
These consolidated annual accounts have been prepared in conformity with the International Financial Reporting Stan-dards (IFRS) as they are to be applied in the EU and the relevant interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Moreover, the commercial law provisions to be applied in accordance with Section 315a (1) HGB [German Commercial Code] have been observed.
The consolidated annual accounts have been prepared in euros. Unless other-wise specifically indicated, all of the amounts are shown in thousand euros (€k). Assets and liabilities are broken down into long-term and short-term as-sets and liabilities according to the at-tributable periods. The consolidated in-come statement is structured according to the cost summary method. The fiscal year is the equivalent of the calendar year.
Beginning in fiscal year 2014, applicati-on of the following standards and inter-pretations as revised or newly published by the IASB was mandatory:

C. Consolidation
Consolidation principles and consolida-ted companies
Corporate mergers are measured ac-cording to the acquisition method. The purchase price is distributed among the identified assets and liabilities, including contingent liabilities, of the acquired subsidiary. The value relationships at the point in time at which the control over the subsidiary is obtained are authorita-tive. The measurable assets and the as-sumed liabilities, including contingent liabilities, are measured in full at their fair values irrespective of the amount of the holding. Any remaining positive dif-ference is recognised as goodwill. Any remaining negative difference is recog-nised directly as operating results after being reviewed once again. The disclo-sed hidden reserves and hidden encum-brances are carried forward to the fol-lowing periods in the same way as the handling of the corresponding assets and liabilities, written off as scheduled or reversed.
Joint ventures and interests which are unilaterally controlled are included in accordance with the equity method. The balance sheets for these companies are prepared with their identified, propor-tionate assets which have been revalua-ted (plus any goodwill) and liabilities in one item. The equity method is always updated by the proportionate period re-sults, disbursements and hidden reserves carried forward. Profits and losses from business transactions with these compa-nies are eliminated proportionately.
Consistent accounting and valuation methods are applied to the separate ac-counts included in the consolidated an-nual accounts of Drillisch AG.
All of the receivables and payables as well as income and expenditures among the companies included in the consoli-dated annual accounts are eliminated, as are interim results.
The parent company´s annual accounts as well as those of all of the important subsidiaries controlled by the former, whether directly or indirectly, were in-cluded in the consolidated annual ac-counts of Drillisch AG per 31 December 2014. There is control of a company if the parent company, legally or de facto, has the opportunity to determine the fi-nancial and business policies of a compa-ny with the aim of obtaining commercial benefits.
A company is included in the consoli-dated accounts for the first time from the moment at which control can be exercised or the criteria for joint ventu-res and associated companies are met.
Companies which are not included are singly and in their totality of only min-or impmin-ortance, both from quantitative and qualitative perspectives, and the ba-lance sheets are prepared in accordance with IAS 39.

The value from the purchase price less cash which must be broken down essentially
comprises the trademark yourfone, the clientele of yourfone GmbH and good-will.
