The receivables resulting from the German “Krankenhausfinanzierungsgesetz” primarily contain approved but not yet received earmarked subsidies of the Fresenius Helios operations. The approval is evidenced in a letter written by the granting authorities that Fresenius Helios has already received.

Depreciations on other non-current assets in an amount of € 5 million and € 6 million were recognized in the fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively. In 2007 as well as in 2006, there were no reclassifications to other non-current assets.
