Report of the Supervisory Board
To the Shareholders
On the basis of the supervision exercised by this Board and the
information provided by Van Dien Co, auditors, who have reported
on their audit and have given their statement of approval, we have
established the financial statements for 1983 as shown on pages
50 and 51, along with the consolidated financial statements for the
financing company and the combined financial statements for the real
estate companies and other diversified interests and the accompany
ing explanatory notes, as incorporated on page 28 ff, of this annual
report.
We recommend that you approve the financial statements as
presented in this annual report.
During the year under review, the board of directors was enlarged by
the appointment of Mr B. Zevenbergen (as of January 21,1983) and
Messrs. J. Kymmell and Ph. Leenman (as of May 18,1983).
With respect to the vacancies created by the retirement in rotation of
Messrs. A.G. van den Bos and J.C. Smit, it is our intention to reappoint
these directors at the annual general meeting of shareholders to be
held on May 16,1984. The Staff Council has been consulted on the
above-mentioned appointments and raised no objection.
Furthermore, we decided not to fill the post of Mr A.W.J. Caron on the
Board, which is becoming vacant due to his reaching the statutory
age.
We would like to express our appreciation to Mr Caron, who during
many years has contributed greatly to our Board.
In our meeting of June 1,1983, we decided to appoint
Mr W.A.J.M. van der Heijden as a member of the Managing Board
per May 16,1984, thus replacing Mr G.J. Jansen who will retire at the
end of 1984.
We should like to express our appreciation of the way in which the
Managing Board and all employees have carried out their tasks in
what frequently have been difficult circumstances in the past year.
