Contrary to its original expectations, the Hamburg-based investment fund
initiator Lloyd Fonds AG will close the current fiscal year with a net
annual loss in the low single-digit million range. To take account of all
risks, including those faced in the private-equity segment and in interest
and foreign-exchange transactions, as early as in the soon-to-end fiscal
year, the valuations used within the context of the annual financial
statements will be aligned with preliminary impairment tests. This move is
a continuation of the conservative accounting policy hitherto pursued by
Lloyd Fonds. Low fourth-quarter equity placement figures resulting from the
financial-market crisis also contributed to the Company's negative
consolidated result.
