(c) Our principal joint ventures are the FIMA business in Portugal, Pepsi/Lipton International and the Pepsi/Lipton Partnership in the US.
(d) In January 2007, the reorganisation of our Portuguese businesses was completed, whereby Unilever now has a 55% share of the combined Portuguese entity, called Unilever Jerónimo Martins. The structure of the newly formed entity is such that there is joint control and it is therefore accounted for by Unilever as a joint venture. In December 2007 a capital contribution of €103 million was made to Pepsi/Lipton International.
(e) Associates primarily comprise our investments in JohnsonDiversey Holdings Inc., Palmci, Langholm Capital Partners and Physic Ventures. Other Unilever Ventures assets (excluding Langholm) are included under 'Other non-current financial assets' above.
