Cash and cash equivalents primarily consist of credit balances at banks. Proportionately consolidated companies account for a total of Euro 3 056 thousand (previous year:
Euro 1 349 thousand). No cash or cash equivalents are subject to restrictions on disposal.

Within the framework of short-term liquidity management structures, credit balances are exclusively deposited at banks of impeccable creditworthiness. As in the previous year, such balances bear interest at interbank levels.
