At the exchange rate on 30 June 2014, this amounts to EUR 20.8 million. A direct consequence is a significant improvement in the recognised net debt, which amounted to EUR 11.0 million as at 30 June 2014. In countries such as the UK, Canada and Austria, franking machine users are required to clear payments of Teleporto funds through FP under the manufacturer contracts between FP and the individual postal companies. Different procedures apply in the different countries. In the case of the UK subsidiary Francotyp-Postalia Ltd., UK, the Management Board has reassessed the contractual agreements, after careful consideration and following the introduction of a new provision into the new manufacturer contract. The following financial reports will include a corresponding correction in accordance with IAS 8. The review also concluded that the restrictions on Teleporto funds in Canada and Austria will continue to apply. The Management Board is considering using the newly available funds for investment in the future or for temporary reduction of financial liabilities, with due regard to commercial prudence. The substantial reduction in net debt would also lead to a corresponding reduction in financial debt, which in turn could improve the equity ratio.
