IFRIC 10 Interim Financial <strong>Report</strong>ing and Impairment prohibits the impairment losses recognised in an interim period on goodwill to<br />

This is also applicable for investments in equity instruments and investments in financial assets carried at cost. IFRIC 10 is effective<br />

37. Subsequent events<br />

The Danish Minister of Taxation has in first quarter 2007 published a draft bill for public hearing. The proposed amendments in the<br />

draft bill are significant and include reduction of the statutory corporate tax rate, restrictions on the deduction of interest expenses and<br />

amendments to controlled foreign company (CFC) taxation. The impact on the Group depends on the final conditions of the bill.<br />

Primarily as a result of the substantial indebtness of <strong>ISS</strong> <strong>Global</strong> the bill is expected to have an adverse effect on the tax position in the<br />

Dansih part of the Group.<br />

Apart from the above and the events described in this <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong>, the Group is not aware of events subsequent to 31 December<br />

<strong>2006</strong>, which are expected to have a material impact on the Group's financial position.<br />
