Both deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities were recognised by the Group companies in 2011. Creation of deferred tax liabilities (through profit or loss) is based on the amounts of a decrease in the tax base of the Group companies in 2011 with regard to the determined profit or loss before taxes. Creation of deferred tax assets, however, is based on an increase in the tax base of the Group companies in 2011 with regard to the determined profit or loss before tax and the determined tax losses.
