the accrual for anticipated losses at 31 december 2006 was fully utilized in <strong>2007</strong>. in our opinion, other accruals will result<br />

in an outflow of funds in the following financial year.<br />

in the Management report (Heading: uS activities have a significant negative effect on <strong>2007</strong> business development)<br />

it has been stated that a client is asserting claims totaling Eur 2.2 million (uS$ 3.3 million) for damages and additional<br />

expenditures. a potential obligation is involved that results from past activities and whose existence is dependent on the<br />

occurrence or non-occurrence of several uncertain future events, and therefore is not completely under our control.<br />

Since there are more arguments in favour than opposed that a current obligation does not exist, we have not set up<br />

any liabilities or accruals for this.<br />

We have withheld a remaining installment from the acquisition of CCC of Eur 0.7 million (uS$ 1.0 million), which<br />

would have been due in the third quarter of <strong>2007</strong>. it is possible that we will assert claims for damages against the seller.<br />

Since realization is not regarded as probable, i. e. more likely than not to occur, we have not reduced the liability.<br />

there are no contingent liabilities which are likely to result in an outflow of funds.<br />
