Financial statements

Consolidated financial statements

3.2.3 Cash equivalents and other short-term investments If the Company has surplus cash, this is generally invested in units of euro money-market funds (SICAVs) and time deposits that meet the definition of cash equivalents under IAS 7 (short-term, highly-liquid investments, readily convertible into known amounts of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of change in value). The Company values this portfolio using the fair value option provided for by IAS 39. The unrealised capital gains or losses at the balance sheet date are thus recognised in profit or loss for the year. Income from time deposits and money-market funds is included in “Income from cash investments”.

3.2.4 Tax treatment The Company opted for the tax status of SCR (société de capital risque) as of the financial year ended 31 December 1996. This status requires compliance with certain criteria, in particular the limitation of debt to 10%of shareholders’ equity and the eligibility of securities held. The legislation on SCRs applicable as of 2001 exempts all income from corporation tax. The Company does not recover VAT. Non-deductible VAT is recognised as an expense in the income statement. 3.2.5 Segment information TheCompany carries out only private equity activities and invests primarily in the euro zone.
