The investment in SCI Pharmtech is included as an associated<br />

company, because as a result of the seat in the Board of<br />

Directors the opportunity for significant influence exists.<br />

The shares in this company are listed on the stock exchange<br />

in Taiwan. Calculated on the stock market quotation the<br />

fair value of <strong>Siegfried</strong>’s interest in this company amounted<br />

at 31.12. <strong>2009</strong> to about CHF 15.4 million (31.12.2008:<br />

CHF 10.5 million). Because at the time of preparing this<br />

<strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> the annual accounts were not yet available,<br />

estimates of the result, based on publicly available reports<br />

and estimates by independent financial analysts, were used.<br />

Alpine Dragon Pharmaceuticals Ltd. was incorporated during<br />

2007 as a joint venture with the Chinese company, Gansu<br />

Medical Alkaloids, Inc. The joint venture company is at present<br />

in the development stage and therefore no sales have<br />

yet been made and the impact on the financial statements<br />

is immaterial. There are no contingent liabilities or payment<br />

commitments in connection with this joint venture.<br />

The investments in associated companies and joint ventures<br />

include no goodwill at the reporting date.<br />
