1 QUEST FOR GROWTH Quarterly report January March 2007 Dear Shareholders TOTAL SHAREHOLDERS RETURN (SINCE 31/03/2006) After the most successful fiscal year 2006, Quest for Growth continued its excellent performance with a net profit over Q1 of 5.0 mio ( 0.53 per share). Though the Q1 result in 2006 ( 10.6 mio or 1.06 per share) was twice as high, this Q1 result is well in line with the overall 2006 result ( 21.5 mio or 2.27 per share). Moreover unlike Q1 2006, when equity markets were booming, the Q1 had to be realised in a much more volatile environment. As shown in the graph alongside, Quest for Growth had to perform better than all three equity indices used to assess our financial results. This profit that amounts to 5.26 % of net assets at the beginning of the quarter was almost exclusively due to the performance of the quoted portfolio. It is however remarkable to note that the 3 stocks stemming from the private equity portfolio and which realized an IPO last year, contributed significantly to this overall result. Omrix, Wilex and Metris (the latter 2 stocks still being under a lock up agreement), which together represent 11.4 % of the overall portfolio at the end of the quarter contributes as much as 40 % of the total return. Few announcements needed to be made on the private equity activity over the reporting period, the only exception being a small follow on investment in Trigen AG, a biotech company. However the pipeline of investments in consideration looks very promising as of today. It is therefore likely that several investments will be realized in the forthcoming months. On March 15, 2007 the Annual General Assembly unanimously approved the distribution of a gross dividend of 1.94 ( 1.93 after withholding tax) per ordinary share, corresponding to 100% of the 2006 profit. An EGM, organized the same day, approved the renewal of the existing share buy back program for another 18 months after its upcoming maturity in May. The EGM also decided to organize a Rights Issue through a Secondary Public Offering starting on April 10 and potentially increasing the number of ordinary shares with 25 % of the present number. The capital increase, if successful, will enable Quest for Growth to increase the maximum amount of its single investments in unquoted companies without having to affect the risk profile of the company. 10% 5% 0% -5% VALUATION QUEST FOR GROWTH Share Price PERFORMANCE OF QUEST FOR GROWTH NAV AND MARKET INDICES TO MARCH 31 ST, 2007 QfG Net Asset Value Nasdaq (in euro) New Markets 50 NextEconomy 5.26% -0.85% Net Asset Value/ share 31/03/ /03/ /02/ /12/ EUR EUR * EUR EUR * After dividend payment of 1.94 per ordinary share.
