In 2012 part of the land in Poznań (Poland) was trans-
ferred from investment property to assets classified as
held for sale for € 1.9 million, because there were concrete
plans to sell this land within the year. In 2013 part of this
land was sold to Porsche Inter Auto Polska for € 2.0 mil-
lion. The rest of the land, for € 1.0 million, was transferred
back to investment property, as its sale within the year
was no longer probable.
On 31 December 2013 the assets held for sale consisted of
the land in Valencia (Spain), where the Group had granted
a purchase option on this land to a third party until the
end of 2014. This option has not been exercised in 2014.
The assets were transferred to Investment property (see
Note 12).
