NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />
1 January – 31 December. Amounts in DKK millions<br />
30. Contingent liabilities (continued)<br />
Divestments<br />
<strong>ISS</strong> <strong>Global</strong> makes provisions for claims from purchasers or other parties in connection with divestments and representations and<br />
warranties given in relation to such divestments. Management believes that provisions made at 31 December <strong>2006</strong> are adequate.<br />
However, there can be no assurance that one or more major claims arising out of <strong>ISS</strong> <strong>Global</strong>'s divestment of companies will not<br />
adversely affect <strong>ISS</strong> <strong>Global</strong>'s activities, results of operations and financial position.<br />
Legal proceedings<br />
<strong>ISS</strong> <strong>Global</strong> is party to certain legal proceedings. Management believes that these proceedings (which are to a large extent labour<br />
cases incidental to its business) will not have a material impact on <strong>ISS</strong> <strong>Global</strong>'s financial position beyond the assets and liabilities<br />
already recognised in the balance sheet at 31 December <strong>2006</strong>.<br />
Other contingent liabilities<br />
The Brazilian tax authorities have filed two claims and raised certain other inquiries against <strong>ISS</strong> Brazil relating to corporate income tax<br />
for the year 1995 on realisation of inflationary gain, federal taxes related to 1999 and other federal taxes and social securities<br />
amounting to DKK 87 million. These claims and inquiries are unlikely to be resolved in the short to medium term and the outcome is<br />
uncertain.<br />
