ANNUAL REPORT 2007 | 2008 - Gimv

6. IMPACT OF NEW OR AMENDED STANDARDS
APPLICABLE AFTER 31 MARCH 2008
The group has chosen not to apply prematurely the standards
and interpretations that are applicable after 31 March 2008.
These new or revised standards include:
IFRS 8 Operating Segments
IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements – Revised
IAS 23 Borrowing costs – Revised
The Gimv group does not expect these amendments to have a
material impact on the annual accounts when applied for the
fi rst time.
7. SIGNIFICANT JUDGEMENTS AND ESTIMATES
In putting together the balance sheet and income statement,
estimates or assumptions are often made that infl uence the
assets or liabilities reported at balance sheet closing date and
the income and charges for the reporting period.
Although such estimates are made in a rational fashion, based
on management’s knowledge of the business, it is possible that
actual fi gures will differ from the estimated fi gures. The largest
risk of material adaptations relates to the estimates made in
determining the fair value of the fi nancial assets and loans to
companies in the investment portfolio (done in accordance with
the valuation rules described under item 5.11).
