Cash flow disclosures

The cash flow statement including Postbank at equity is based on the consolidated financial statements including Postbank at equity. This means that the cash flows of Deutsche Postbank Group are eliminated, but the cash flows between Deutsche Post World Net and Deutsche Postbank Group are reincluded. In addition, net income from the measurement of Deutsche Postbank Group at equity is included as non-cash income in net cash from operating activities. The dividend paid by Deutsche Postbank AG to Deutsche Post AG is included in cash flows from investing activities. All other items are treated in the same way as in the consolidated cash flow statement. Further disclosures relating to the cash flow statement can be found in Note 47.
