4. INTEREST IN UNCONSOLIDATED COMPANIES<br />
The company has interests in the following unconsolidated companies:<br />
attoSENSOR GmbH<br />
On May 22, 2001 the company acquired a ten percent interest or rather stated value<br />
of 7,669 Euro of the share capital of attoSENSOR GmbH, a developer and producer<br />
of sensor technology located in Penzberg (Bavaria). The total purchase price of the<br />
interest in the company was 169,039 Euro. In addition <strong>ELMOS</strong> granted attoSENSOR<br />
GmbH a profit-participating loan of 766,938 Euro and later increased this loan by<br />
613,550 Euro as of January 31, 2002. <strong>ELMOS</strong> receives no interest on the loan but re-<br />
ceives two percent of the profit of attoSENSOR GmbH instead while not participating<br />
in any losses. The loan was repaid in <strong>2004</strong>, resulting in a profit of 890 thousand Euro<br />
in <strong>2004</strong>.<br />
On January 8, 2002 <strong>ELMOS</strong> acquired an additional 20 percent interest or rather stated<br />
value of 15,338 Euro of the share capital for a purchase price of 307,051 Euro. In <strong>2004</strong><br />
<strong>ELMOS</strong> recorded gains from this participation – which is recorded at equity according<br />
to APB 18 and SFAS 94 – to the amount of 57,233 Euro (losses 2003: 247,090 Euro).<br />
Micro Systems on Silicon (MOS) Limited<br />
MOS Ltd. is currently still in its start-up phase without carrying out significant<br />
operating business. For this reason the company has refrained from the inclusion in<br />
the consolidation despite the company’s control.<br />
