ALTANA continuously analyzes the creditworthiness of significant debtors. Based on its international operations and a diversified customer structure ALTANA has no con- centration of credit risk. The Company does not generate sales of more than 3 % with one single customer and less than 20 % with its ten most significant customers combined. Receivables are monitored locally in the operating subsidiaries on an ongoing basis. Financing transactions are mainly carried out with contractual partners that have a credit rating of “Investment Grade”. Furthermore, rate-dependent credit limits are assigned to each contract- ing party that ALTANA invests with, depending on their membership of a deposit protec- tion fund. The carrying amount of all receivables (see also note 18), loan receivables, marketable securities and cash and cash equivalents represents the maximum credit risk of ALTANA. At the reporting date, there were no significant arrangements which reduced the maximum credit risk. 130 Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
