Other participations relate to equity instruments in companies whose activities support DSM’s business and which can be quoted or unquoted. In Other participations an amount of €24 million is included that relates to equity instruments whose fair value cannot be measured reliably (2009: €23 million). These instruments are therefore measured at cost. Furthermore, the companies' shareholding in Danisco with a fair value of €161 million is included in Other participations against the closing price of the shares on 31 December 2010 (quoted price in an active market).
