Deutsche Postbank AG’s figures are based on the
last published interim financial statements as at 30 September 2010 and
the last published consolidated financial statements as at 31 December
2009 because no audited consolidated financial statements of Deutsche
Postbank AG for the year ending 31 December 2010 were available at the time when Deutsche Post AG’s consolidated financial statements were prepared. |
| 2) | Income from banking transactions includes interest income, commission income and net trading income. |
