As of December 31, 2010, non-current financial assets available-for-sale (investments) with a book
value of EUR 57.2 million (2009: EUR 48.2 million) were carried at cost since fair value could not be
reliably determined.
The changes in the scope of consolidation include additions of EUR 192.8 million (2009: 0.5 million)
and disposals of EUR 4,612.6 million (2009: EUR 34.8 million). Additions to the scope of consolidation
are due almost exclusively to the divestment and deconsolidation of Théramex. The disposals relate in
particular to the acquisition and the first-time consolidation of Millipore. A detailed presentation of
this item can be found under “Scope of consoldiatoin – Acquisition of Mllipore”.
