The number of outstanding shares used for calculation of fair value per share amounted to 4,373,043 as of August 31, 2003 (July 31, 2003: 4,369,570). The calculations are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and pursuant to the guidelines of the European Venture Capital Association (EVCA).

The fair value of listed direct investments is the market value. Based on a composite assessment of all appropriate and applicable indicators of fair value, Private Equity Holding AG makes a good faith estimate of the fair value as of the valuation date. The fair values are calculated under a going concern assumption. The fair value of Private Equity Holding AG is computed as of the end of each month and published four trading days after the cut-off date. The different reporting cut-off dates of the individual companies and funds in which participations are held can lead to short-term distortions and cause discrepancies between the published fair value and the actual total value of Private Equity Holding AG's net assets.
