1 Consists of (1) € 12,537 million and € 12,932 million trade receivables from the sale of goods and services in fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively, as well as (2) € 20 million and € 11 million receivables included in line item Other financial assets in fiscal 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, trade receivables from
the sale of goods and services of € 788 million and € 686 million have a remaining term of more than twelve months.
2 Consists of equity instruments classified as available for sale, for which a fair value could not be reliably measured and which are therefore recognized at cost.
3 As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, trade payables of € 40 million and € 32 million have a remaining term of more than twelve months.
Cash and cash equivalents includes € 429 million and € 320 mil- lion as of September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which are not available for use by Siemens mainly due to minimum reserve requirements with banks.
As of September 30, 2014 and 2013, the carrying amount of financial assets Siemens has pledged as collateral amounted to € 271 million and € 344 million, respectively.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables and trade payables with a remaining term of up to twelve months, other current financial assets and liabili- ties represent a reasonable approximation of their fair values, mainly due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Fixed-rate and variable-rate receivables with a remaining term of more than twelve months, including receivables from finance leases, are evaluated by the Company based on para- meters such as interest rates, specific country risk factors, indi- vidual creditworthiness of the customer, and the risk character- istics of the financed project. Based on this evaluation, allowances for these receivables are recognized. As of Septem- ber 30, 2014 and 2013, the carrying amounts of such receiv- ables, net of allowances, approximate their fair values. The fair value of notes and bonds is based on prices provided by price service agencies at the period-end date (Level 2). The fair value of loans from banks and other financial indebted- ness, obligations under finance leases as well as other non- current financial liabilities is estimated by discounting future cash flows using rates currently available for debt of similar terms and remaining maturities (Level 2).

The fair value of available-for-sale financial assets quoted in an active market is based on price quotations at the period-end date. The fair value of debt instruments is either based on prices provided by price service agencies or estimated by dis- counting future cash flows using current market interest rates. The Company limits default risks resulting from derivative financial instruments by a careful counterparty selection. Derivative financial instruments are generally transacted with financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. The fair valuation of derivative financial instruments at Siemens incorporates all factors that market participants would con- sider. This includes credit risks for which a credit valuation adjustment is determined based on Siemens’ net exposure towards each counter party. The exact calculation of fair values of derivative financial instruments depends on the specific type of instrument:
Derivative interest rate contracts – The fair values of derivative interest rate contracts (e.g. interest rate swap agreements) are estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using cur- rent market interest rates and yield curves over the remaining term of the instrument. Interest rate futures and interest rate options are valued on the basis of quoted market prices when available. If quoted market prices are not available, interest rate options are valued based on option pricing models.
Derivative currency contracts – The fair value of foreign cur- rency exchange contracts is based on forward exchange rates. Currency options are valued on the basis of quoted market prices or on estimates based on option pricing models. Derivative commodity contracts – The fair value of commodity swaps is based on forward commodity prices. Commodity options are valued on the basis of quoted market prices or on estimates based on option pricing models.
The warrants issued together with US$ 3 billion bonds in fiscal 2012 are valued based on an option pricing model. The most significant inputs used are the underlying Siemens and OSRAM share price and the implied volatility.
In determining the fair values of the derivative financial instru- ments, no compensating effects from underlying transactions (e.g. firm commitments and forecast transactions) are taken into consideration.
The following table allocates financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value to the three levels of the fair value hierarchy.
