5. SUMMARY OF THE MAIN VALUATION RULES<br />
USED FOR THE LIMITED CONSOLIDATION<br />
The limited consolidation is prepared using the valuation<br />
rules as laid down by the Board of Directors. These valuation<br />
rules are in principle the same as those used for the statutory<br />
consolidation, the only difference being that in the limited<br />
consolidation the entire investment portfolio is valued at fair<br />
value as determined in accordance with IAS 39. Here <strong>Gimv</strong><br />
follows also the international valuation guidelines for the private<br />
equity and venture capital sector. In the statutory consolidation<br />
a number of companies in the investment portfolio which<br />
under IAS 27 <strong>Gimv</strong> is deemed to control are fully consolidated.<br />
In the 2006-<strong>2007</strong> fi nancial year these were Bever Zwerfsport<br />
Investments, De Groot International Investments, Geveke<br />
Investments, Hebu Investments, Interbrush, LowLand Fashion<br />
and Operator Groep Delft. For the <strong>2007</strong>-<strong>2008</strong> fi nancial year<br />
these are again HVEG Investments (former LowLand Fashion),<br />
Operator Groep Delft, De Groot International Investments and<br />
Interbrush, plus Grandeco Wallfashion Group, Verlihold, Numac<br />
Investments and Terstal. The shareholdings in Bever Zwerfsport<br />
Investments, Geveke Investments and Hebu Investments were<br />
sold in the course of the past fi nancial year.<br />
The other valuation rules are the same as those used for the<br />
statutory consolidation (see heading 5 of the statutory consolidation<br />
- page 112).
