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 />
