REPORT OF THE SUPERVISORY BOARD
We herewith present the Rolinco N.V. accounts for the financial year
2006 together with the report of the management board.
The way in which the supervisory board carries out its supervisory
duties is significantly determined by the structure of the Robeco
Group. Discussion of the management of Rolinco N.V. can take place in
the supervisory board of either the company or that of Robeco Groep
N.V. As a result of the personal links between members of the two
boards, in practice this presents no difficulties. Rolinco N.V. is
managed by Robeco Fund Management B.V., a wholly owned (indirect)
subsidiary of Robeco Groep N.V. The management board of Robeco Fund
Management B.V. consists of Edith Sierman (Chief Investment Officer
Fixed Income), Mark van der Kroft (Chief Investment Officer
Equities), Edwin de Weerd (Manager of Robeco Fund Services Center)
and Ed van Wijk (Executive Vice President at Robeco Alternative
Investments). Arnout van Rijn is the fund manager of Rolinco N.V.
The purpose of an investment institution such as Rolinco N.V., as
laid down in its Articles of Association, is limited to the investing
of its assets in securities in such a way that risks are diversified
with the object of allowing its shareholders to participate in the
profits. At its meetings the supervisory board therefore primarily
devotes its attention to the investment policy, the realized results
and the development of the assets invested, on the basis of frequent
and detailed reports. Attention is also paid to matters relating to
risk management, such as operational and market risks, and
compliance, such as investment restrictions and compliance with
requirements of the regulator. In connection with what has already
been mentioned regarding the structure of the Robeco Group, matters,
such as the risks associated with the investment policy, the
application of instruments to manage these risks and compliance
issues, may also be discussed at the meetings of the supervisory
board of Robeco Groep N.V.
The general policy of the Robeco Group is determined by the
Management Board of Robeco Groep N.V. in consultation with its
supervisory board. This means that matters such as product
development, acquisitions and risk management and compliance are
discussed at the meetings of the supervisory board of Robeco Groep
N.V. An audit and compliance committee and a nomination, remuneration
and corporate-governance committee have been appointed by this board.
Two members of each of these committees are also supervisory
directors of Rolinco N.V. Within these committees extensive
discussions are held about internal audit, risk-management and
compliance issues and the functioning of and remuneration structure
for the Robeco Groep N.V. Management Board and other human-resource
issues. Besides the subjects mentioned, no special issues were
discussed at the meetings of the supervisory board during the
reporting year.
We have taken note of the contents of the auditor's report presented
by Ernst & Young Accountants and recommend approval of the annual
financial statements. We concur with management's proposal to
distribute a dividend of EUR 0.40 per share in cash.
At the General Meeting of Shareholders on 27 April 2006, Dirk Verbeek
was reappointed as a supervisory director of the company with
immediate effect.
According to schedule, Gilles Izeboud will resign at the General
Meeting of Shareholders to be held on 26 April 2007. Mr. Izeboud is
available for reelection. It is proposed that he be reappointed as a
supervisory director of the company with immediate effect.

REPORT OF THE MANAGEMENT BOARD
GENERAL INTRODUCTION
An excellent year for the world economy
The past year has been an excellent one for the world economy, with
growth recorded at around 5%. However, the composition of growth was
somewhat different from past years. Growth in the United States
slowed down in the course of the year, while Japan and the euro area
recorded higher growth rates. The emerging economies continued their
process of catching up with the developed economies.
Inflationary pressures increased worldwide after oil prices rose to
well above USD 70 per barrel early in the year. Actual inflation
remained contained under the influence of tighter monetary polices in
many countries. The fact that oil prices moved back to levels around
USD 60 per barrel later in the year contributed to a more benign
development of inflation, in combination with restrained wage
increases in many countries.
A very favorable year for equity markets
The combination of high economic growth and modest inflation was a
splendid one for equity markets. Generally corporate earnings
continued strongly, while price/earnings ratios were reasonable at
the beginning of the year. Many central banks around the world hiked
interest rates in the course of the year. On balance, long-term
government yields also increased, although less so than the
short-term interest rates. However, bond yields remained low from a
historical perspective, as a result of which yield developments were
no threat for equity markets.
The second quarter saw a correction, which was more than reversed in
the remainder of the year. In the end most equity markets have
recorded double-digit increases in their indices. After the strong
increase in 2005 the Japanese stock market index recorded a
relatively small increase in 2006. Although the US stock markets had
a favorable year, the outcome for investors with euro-denominated
investments was not that good, because the dollar depreciated by more
than 10% against the euro. The stock markets in the euro area had a
better than average performance.
The US economy
In the course of the year, the US economy slowed down. The
interest-rate hikes by the US central bank (the Fed) since mid 2004
started to take their toll. The Fed funds rate ended the year 2006 at
5.25%. On balance, long-term interest rates increased to around 4.7%
by the end of the year.
The housing market in particular was responsible for the slowdown in
US growth. The marked increase of prices and volumes in the housing
market came to an end in the past year. For the time being the US
consumer appeared to be unaffected by the developments in the housing
market. Consumption continued to grow at a healthy pace, further
facilitated by strong conditions in the labor market.
Initially, core inflation went up, but fell to just above 2% in the
final months of the year.
Japan
Last year, the Japanese economy continued its recovery. This led the
Bank of Japan to abandon its zero interest-rate policy. The policy
rate was increased once by 25 basis points. The recovery was not
convincing in all respects. The Japanese consumer remains hesitant to
spend. Inflation is still very low. Under these circumstances, the
long-term interest rates fluctuated mainly within a bandwidth of 1.5%
and 1.75%.
The euro area
Last year, economic performance in the euro area was strong. Economic
growth amounted to more than 2.5%. Initially inflation increased on
the back of higher oil prices, but ended the year at a level just
below 2%. Strong economic growth, a substantial increase in money
supply and credit growth, and just over 2% projected inflation over
the medium term prompted the European Central Bank (ECB) to increase
interest rates from 2.25% to 3.5%. Long-term rates increased by no
more than 60 basis points.
Outlook
The world economy is continuing to grow rapidly, albeit at a slower
pace than last year. The emerging economies are maintaining their
catching-up course, and Japan and the euro area will record growth
rates of some 2%. For the US economy, a slowdown of growth to around
2% is being penciled in. The ECB and Bank of Japan have not yet
finished their hiking cycle and this is also true for a number of
other central banks. The Fed will probably start to ease its monetary
policy as inflation gets under control. The development of long-term
rates will remain moderate.
All in all this year more or less average returns of around 8% are to
be expected.

During 2006, the share price of Rolinco rose from EUR 23.73 to EUR
25.01. Assuming reinvestment of the dividend of EUR 0.36 per share
distributed in May 2006, this was an investment result of 6.9%. Based
on net asset value, which rose from EUR 23.84 to EUR 24.96, the
investment result was 6.2%. The fund's benchmark, the S&P/Citigroup
World Growth Primary Market Index (Total Return), rose 4.5% over the
same period.
2006 was once again a good year for equity investors. The major stock
markets all booked gains over the year in local currency terms,
ranging from 5% in Japan, 11% in the United States and the United
Kingdom to 19% in the Netherlands and as much as 33% in Spain.
Rolinco's absolute return came under pressure as a result of the
strength of the euro. This was the only reason that the fund did not
achieve double-digit returns in 2006. Nevertheless an investment in
Rolinco was still a good choice as returns were once again
considerably higher than those achieved on a savings account.
Although stock markets have risen significantly over the last few
years, sentiment now is totally different to how it was in the rising
markets at the end of the nineties. Then people paid high prices for
the long-term future profitability of technology companies, whereas
now investors can only drum up enthusiasm for companies which are
offering high dividends right now. To summarize a Rabobank
advertisement: People now would rather have a 'bird in the hand'
whereas then they preferred to have 'two birds in the bush'.
Currently there is only slight interest for the companies with
attractive growth profiles that growth fund Rolinco likes to buy.
This made 2006 a slightly disappointing year for investors in growth
stocks as these stocks once again underperformed the broader market
completing a biblical seven years of famine.
Rolinco achieved a sound relative performance. After a fantastic year
in 2005 the fund again substantially outperformed the benchmark in
2006. Stock selection was the most important factor behind this and,
especially in the technology sector, Rolinco's stock picks showed an
above-average performance. Another driving force behind the strong
performance was the position in emerging markets, where most stock
markets continued to perform well. On the other hand the large
position in Japan only performed moderately. We expected domestic
investors there to push the market higher as the low interest rates
offered few attractive alternatives. A scandal involving one of
Japan's most well-known entrepreneurs was, however, enough to make
Japanese investors shy away. Sector allocation made a negative
contribution to the result. As a growth fund Rolinco was
overrepresented in the health-care sector where there are still many
new developments, but underrepresented in stable but slow-growing
utilities and cyclical materials. In 2006 utilities,
telecommunications and materials were the best-performing sectors,
primarily because of the considerable merger and acquisition
activity.
INVESTMENT POLICY
Many investors are too hasty in their actions and have too short an
investment horizon. Rolinco moves nice and slowly and has an
investment horizon of 3 to 5 years. The fund's policy in 2006 can be
summed up by the motto: Be skeptical, do little, have patience.
During the year any changes that were made were well thought out and
limited in size. Turnover in the portfolio, without taking into
account the sale and purchase of the fund's own shares, amounted to
about 50%.
The general strategy was to slowly reduce the risks in the portfolio.
Many stocks that had performed very well in 2005, had little further
upside potential. So in the first few months of the year we reduced
the position in energy. Oil will remain scarce, but the exaggerated
stories that were circulating at the time (USD 100 per barrel) seemed
overoptimistic. Moreover, many speculators had plunged into oil,
which made the market vulnerable. Our sector weight was gradually
reduced by more than 2%.
We used the correction in the Japanese market to buy our first
Japanese bank for the portfolio. Resona (formally Daiwa bank) was the
lucky candidate. This bank should be in an ideal position to benefit
from the gradually rising deposit rates in Japan. The return on this
investment is still in negative territory because the process of
increasing interest rates in Japan has been disappointingly slow.
Throughout the year the position in financial conglomerate Citigroup
was markedly increased. The bank had been penalized for investing
heavily in its future growth. Many investors searched for more
attractive growth stories but had to pay considerably more for them
- - we did not! Citigroup moved into our top ten.
Following extensive research, in the spring we bought a position in
the trendy shoe manufacturer Crocs. Investors thought that growth in
the US had peaked and built up a large short position in the stock.
We, however, believed in the underestimated demand from Europe and
Asia which did come through, quickly pushing up the stock by 50%. It
transpired that high-growth companies can also disappoint when the US
senate unexpectedly made gambling online impossible. The English
companies Partygaming and 888.com generated a large proportion of
their turnover from poker with Americans and their stock prices
collapsed like a house of cards as a result of this news. We do
believe that the European market still does offer sufficient growth
prospects to keep holding the stocks at these low levels. Another
disappointment was Neurocrine Biosciences. Contrary to our
expectations its insomnia drug Indiplon failed to be passed by the
approvals committee and the stock price fell by more than 80%,
In the Dutch part of the portfolio publisher VNU was sold when it's
private equity buyers came forward with a higher bid. The fund also
took a position in Philips. Many still see the company as a shapeless
conglomerate, but under the leadership of Kleisterlee it has been
considerably restructured. Following the sale of the semiconductor
division, the emphasis has been shifted further on to the future
growth in the medical and lighting divisions. We also bought Dupont
because the company has geared its portfolio far more towards
structural growth, without the market taking this into account in
terms of the stock's valuation. We at Rolinco like to take advantage
of prejudices and misconceptions.
In the information-technology sector the sector weight was reduced
towards the end of the year by selling positions in Nokia, Toshiba,
SAP and Qualcomm. The rationale behind this was a combination of
unrealistic expectations and quantitative factors. In 2006 Cisco
systems was the best performer in the top ten by a considerable
margin. Having initially been too optimistic the market then became
too apprehensive about this stock. When growth picked up again the
stock regained the spotlight.
In the second half of the year the weight of the US was increased by
about 4% at the expense of Europe. The differences in valuation
between the two regions became much smaller as a result of better
performance by the European stock markets. The fund's weight in Japan
and emerging markets remained stable throughout the year.
In the spring the position in the US dollar was reduced in two steps,
from 53% to 44%. Our models lost their confidence in the dollar which
had been so surprisingly strong in 2005. In 2006 the euro became the
strongest currency again. In May a position was taken in Robeco
Global Telecom Opportunities, a hedge fund that focuses solely on
stocks in the telecom sector and is therefore ideally positioned to
find good investment opportunities.
Rolinco makes use of financial instruments, the associated risks of
which are specified in the financial statements. The fund uses
liquidity limits based on market capitalization and tradability for
the stocks in which it invests. The fund invests in 85 names
diversified over 17 countries and 10 sectors resulting in wide
diversification and limited price risk. Investments are made within
the limits stated in the prospectus. On the basis of reports the
management board has discussed risk-management and compliance issues,
subjects which were also covered in meetings with the supervisory
board.

OUTLOOK
The growth stocks in which Rolinco invests will come into their own
as soon as the economy begins to experience difficulties and interest
rates start to rise. The Rolinco portfolio has been carefully
constructed to include a high proportion of companies that are
relatively insensitive to the economic cycle.
As long as interest rates remain low investors will continue to favor
stocks. For 2007 we do not, for the time being, envisage any major
obstacles. It is important to keep a close eye on wage inflation
because this can be the driving force behind structurally higher
interest rates. However in the coming reporting period, from a
demographic perspective, there will probably be little evidence of
this. Earnings disappointments are another possible stumbling block.
However as long as globalization continues, companies will still be
able to further reduce their cost base and benefit from the
advantages of computerization. For these reasons we believe that 2007
looks like another good year for growth stocks.
TEXT BOX: INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY
Since the beginning of 2005, the Rolinco team has been made up of
three people: Arnout van Rijn, Maarten de Kok and Michiel van Voorst.
We are convinced that we can operate decisively, creatively and
contrarily with a small team, and in doing so beat the market.
The greatest risk for growth investors is that they pay too much for
growth. We therefore use detailed valuation models before we buy a
stock. In addition, we are highly aware of what the market is
thinking. It is possible for less popular stocks to realize the
highest returns if growth turns out better than expected. Finally, we
think that by investing in a limited number of companies and by
implementing relatively few changes, we can pay sufficient attention
to each of our investments and guarantee the fund's long-term
horizon.
The fund Rolinco
Rolinco, established in 1965, is a global equity fund aimed at
generating capital growth for its shareholders. The fund invests in
growth stocks which are expected to show above-average or
accelerating earnings growth in the coming years. This growth can be
realized either by high turnover growth or by rapid margin growth and
is only dependent on the macroeconomic climate to a limited degree.
Rolinco's portfolio contains a relatively small number of interests
and as such has a high risk profile.
Dutch Financial Supervision Act
The Dutch Financial Supervision Act [Wet op het financieel toezicht,
or 'Wft'] became effective on 1 January 2007. This act regulates
supervision of the Dutch financials sector. The Wft has replaced
existing supervision legislation (including the Dutch Investment
Institutions Supervision Act [Wet toezicht beleggingsinstellingen]).
Declaration regarding administrative organization and internal
control
General
The administrative organization and internal control of the
Management Company Robeco Fund Management BV are discussed below
insofar as these target the activities of the investment institution.
Administrative organization and internal control are both geared to
the size of the organization and meet the requirements of article 8
of the 2005 Dutch Investment Institutions Supervision Decree [Besluit
toezicht beleggingsinstellingen 2005, or 'Btb']. Administrative
organization and internal control can never offer absolute
guarantees, rather they are designed to provide reasonable assurance
of the effectiveness of internal-control measures in relation to the
risks of the activities of the investment institution.
The assessment of the effectiveness and good functioning of
administrative organization and internal control is the
responsibility of the Management Company.
Activities
Within the scope of the application for a license under the 2005
Dutch Investment Institutions Supervision Act [Wet toezicht
beleggingsinstellingen 2005, or 'Wtb'], the structural aspects of the
administrative organization and internal control applied were
assessed and adjusted to the Wtb. The relevant risks were identified
and corresponding internal-control measures formulated.
The effectiveness and good functioning of administrative organization
and internal control are assessed in various ways. The management
board is informed periodically by means of control reports which are
based on the process descriptions and the internal-control measures
included therein. Furthermore, there are incident and complaints
procedures.
In 2006, the effective functioning of the internal-control measures
was tested by means of partial tests to verify their design,
existence and effectiveness. This involved generic test activities
that were carried out in a process-oriented way for the various
investment institutions for which Robeco Fund Management B.V. acts as
management company. The test activities may therefore differ for the
individual investment institutions. The tests were executed by
various departments at group and business-unit level, in consultation
with internal and external auditors.
The tests did not lead to relevant findings for this annual report.
Report on administrative organization and internal control
In 2006, we assessed the various aspects of administrative
organization and internal control. In our assessment we noted nothing
that would lead us to conclude that the description of the structural
aspects of administrative organization and internal control within
the meaning of article 8 of the 2005 Dutch Investment Institutions
Supervision Decree failed to meet the requirements as specified in
said decree and related regulations. Neither did we conclude that the
internal-control measures were ineffective or failed to function
according to the description provided.

Notes
General
Rolinco N.V. (hereafter also referred to as 'the fund') is a Dutch
investment company with a variable capital within the meaning of
article 28 of the 1969 Dutch Corporate Income Tax Act [Wet op de
Vennootschapsbelasting 1969]. This means that no corporate-income tax
is due, providing that the fund makes its profit available for
distribution to shareholders in the form of dividend within eight
months of the close of the financial year and satisfies any other
relevant regulations. As a result of the appointment as Manager of
Robeco Fund Management B.V., which holds a license from the AFM [the
Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets] under the Dutch
Investment Institutions Supervision Act [Wet toezicht
beleggingsinstellingen, or 'wtb'], the license in accordance with
article 5 of the 1990 Dutch Investment Institutions Supervision Act
has been legally cancelled.
Manager
The fund appointed Robeco Fund Management B.V. as Manager of the fund
as of 1 March 2006. The tasks for which the Manager will be
responsible include the execution of the investment policy,
management of the fund assets as well as handling the fund's
financial administration, marketing and distribution. Robeco Fund
Management B.V. is part of the Robeco Group and was granted a license
by the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets to act as
manager on 29 December 2005. The agreement between the fund's
management board and the Manager includes the stipulation that the
Manager will comply with the provisions of the prospectus, the
Articles of Association and the directives of the fund's management
board, insofar as these are in line with the shareholders' interests,
and that the Manager will observe the applicable legislation and
regulations. The Manager will also regularly report to the management
board on its duties. At the General Meeting of Shareholders held on
27 April 2006 Robeco Fund Management B.V. was appointed as director
of the company.
Models
The annual financial statements have been drawn up in conformity with
the models provided by Dutch legislature. In certain areas,
descriptions have been used which better express the nature of the
items and relate better to the characteristics of an investment
company.
Open-end fund
Rolinco N.V. is an open-end investment company, meaning that, barring
exceptional circumstances, Rolinco N.V. issues and repurchases its
shares on a daily basis at prices approximating net asset value. A
fixed spread between the bid and offer price applies to cover costs
related to issuance and repurchase of own shares. The issue price
will not be more than 0.5% higher than the net asset value and the
repurchase price will not be more than 0.5% lower than the net asset
value. The abovementioned margin between the net asset value and the
issue and repurchase prices, and the associated costs, are for the
account and risk of Robeco Investment Consulting B.V., as a result of
which Rolinco N.V. issues and repurchases its shares at net asset
value. Robeco Investment Consulting B.V. will distribute any positive
spread results to the funds, in proportion to each fund's positive
contribution to the spread result. A buffer is maintained to cover
any future losses. As of 26 February 2007, the new trading system for
open-end investment institutions on Euronext Amsterdam will be
implemented. For the company this means that the bid and offer system
described above will no longer be valid. According to the Euronext
guidelines, orders can be placed until 16:00 hours (cut-off time).
Orders that are placed via Euronext Amsterdam will be processed once
a day only and will be executed on the next stock-exchange day at the
net asset value, augmented or reduced by a limited surcharge or
discount. The only purpose of this surcharge or discount is to cover
the costs made by the company related to the entry and exit of
investors.
Non-certificated participation in the Netherlands
Shares may be held in non-certificated form in Robeco Direct N.V.
accounts or via the affiliated branches of Rabobank in the Rabo
Securities Account. Participants pay costs on the sum deposited for
each purchase, and in the event of a sale a percentage of the sum
withdrawn. These participation costs are currently a maximum of 0.4%
via Robeco Direct and a maximum of 0.5% via Rabobank, depending on
the channel selected. These sums will accrue to Robeco Direct and
Rabobank respectively.
Outsourcing core tasks
Until 1 March 2006, the administration was outsourced to Robeco
Nederland B.V., a 100% subsidiary of Robeco Groep N.V. These costs
were covered by the service fee. Agreements have been made with the
aforementioned party relating to the provision of information and
performance standards. As a result of the appointment of the Manager,
outsourcing of the administration has been terminated as of 1 March
2006.
Accounting principles
General
Unless stated otherwise, items shown in the annual financial
statements are included at nominal value and expressed in thousands
of euros.
Financial investments
Unless stated otherwise, financial investments are included at fair
value. The fair value of stocks is determined on the basis of market
prices or other market quotations at closing date. For derivatives
such as forward exchange transactions, this value is based on
currency rates and reference interest rates at closing date.
Transaction costs incurred in the purchase and sale of investments
are included in the purchase or sale price as appropriate.
Securities lending
Investments for which the legal ownership has been transferred by the
fund for a given period of time as a result of securities-lending
transactions, will continue to be included in the fund's balance
sheet during this period, since their economic advantages and
disadvantages, in the form of investment income and changes in value,
will be added to or deducted from the fund's result. The way in which
collateral ensuing from securities-lending transactions is reported
depends on the nature of this collateral. If the collateral is
received in the form of investments these will not be included in the
Balance sheet as the economic advantages and disadvantages relating
to the collateral will be for the account and risk of the
counterparty. If the collateral is received in cash it will be
included in the Balance sheet as, in this case, the economic
advantages and disadvantages will be for the account and risk of the
fund.
Affiliated parties
Both the fund and its Manager are affiliated to entities belonging
to Robeco Groep N.V. The affiliation with Robeco Groep N.V. is the
result of the possibility of having decisive control or a substantial
influence on the business policy of the fund and the Manager
respectively. Robeco Groep N.V. belongs to the Rabobank Group. The
management structure of Robeco Groep N.V., in which significant
authority is allocated to its independent supervisory board, is such
that Rabobank does not have meaningful say in or influence on the
fund's business policy. Robeco Groep N.V. pursues an independent
investment policy on behalf of its affiliated investment companies,
taking into account the interests of the investors involved. Besides
services of other market parties, Rolinco N.V. also uses the services
of one or more of these affiliated entities including transactions
relating to securities, treasury, derivatives, custody, securities
lending sale and purchase of its own shares, fund-administration
services, as well as management activities. Transactions are executed
at market rates.
Structure of the Robeco Group
The schematic diagram below shows the position of the entities
referred to in the annual report and their mutual relationship within
the Robeco Group. Only the relationships that are relevant to the
investment institution have been included in the flow chart.
Determination of the result
General
Investment results are determined by investment income, rises or
declines in stock prices, rises or declines in foreign exchange rates
and results of transactions in currencies, including forward
transactions, and derivative instruments. The results are accounted
for in the Profit and loss account.
Investment income
Net cash dividends declared during the year under review, the nominal
value of stock dividends declared, interest received and proceeds
from loan transactions. Accrued interest at balance-sheet date is
taken into account.
Movements in value
Realized and unrealized capital gains and losses on securities and
currencies.
Foreign currencies
Transactions in currencies other than the euro are converted into
euros at the exchange rates valid at the time. Assets and liabilities
expressed in other currencies are converted into euros at the
exchange rate prevailing at balance-sheet date. Any exchange
differences arising are accounted for in the Profit and loss account.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Risks
Transactions in financial instruments may lead to the fund being
subject to the risks described below or to the fund transferring
these risks to another party.
Price risk
Currency risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument
will fluctuate as a result of changes in exchange rates.
Interest-rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial
instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market rates.
Market risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will
fluctuate as a result of changes in market prices, caused by factors
that exclusively apply to the individual instrument or its issuer or
caused by factors that affect all instruments traded in the market.
The fund minimizes the risks by investing mainly in large and
well-known companies and by making a balanced selection with regard
to distribution across regions, sectors, individual stocks and
currencies.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk that the counterparty of a financial
instrument will no longer meet its obligations, as a result of which
the fund will suffer a financial loss. The fund minimizes this risk
by trading exclusively with reputable counterparties. Wherever it is
customary in the market, the fund will demand and obtain collateral.
As of balance-sheet date collateral ensuing from securities-lending
transactions was received. More information can be found in the Notes
to the balance sheet.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the fund is not able to obtain the
financial means required to meet the obligations arising from
financial instruments. The fund minimizes this risk by mainly
investing in financial instruments that are tradable on a daily
basis.
Insight into actual risks
The Report of the management board, the Balance sheet, the Notes to
the balance sheet and the Spread of net assets, which includes the
geographic distribution of the investments, the net currency position
and distribution over sectors, give an insight into the actual risks
at balance-sheet date.
Risk management
Managing risk is a part of the investment process as a whole and with
the help of advanced systems, the risks outlined above are limited,
measured and monitored on the basis of fixed risk measures.
Policy regarding the use of derivative instruments
Investing implies that positions are taken. As it is possible to use
various instruments, including derivative instruments, to construct
an identical position, the selection of derivatives is subordinate to
the positioning of a portfolio. In our published information,
attention is given primarily to the overall position, and secondarily
to the nature and volume of the financial instruments employed.
Derivatives
The market value of derivatives is reported in the Balance sheet. The
presentation of the market value is based on the liabilities and
receivables per counterparty. The receivables are reported under
Financial investments and the liabilities are reported under Accounts
payable. The value of the derivatives' underlying instruments is not
included in the Balance sheet. If applicable, they are explained
under the heading Commitments not shown in the balance sheet.

A breakdown of the portfolio and overviews of purchases and sales
exceeding an amount of EUR 4.5 million and the spread of net assets
can be found at the end of this report. Shares in an amount of
EUR 107.5 million (EUR 233.6 million at the end of last year) were
lent at balance-sheet date. To cover the risk of non-restitution,
adequate collateral with a value of EUR 131.9 million (EUR 254.6
million at the end of last year) was demanded and obtained EUR 1.9
million of this amount concerns cash collateral. This amount is
reported and explained under cash. Other collateral is not included
in the Balance sheet.
Share swaps
Synthetic share swaps are customized products that offer investors
the opportunity to obtain the economic return of equity investments
without actually investing in the underlying value. There are various
ways to offer over-the-counter (OTC) exposure to equities, for
instance in the form of warrants, notes, option combinations and
share swaps. A share swap is a customized contract concluded between
the investor and the swap seller, which gives economic exposure to an
underlying share, a related security, basket of stocks or index. In a
swap contract two parties agree to swap the capital gains of, or the
total return on, one certain share. In a typical long-side swap
transaction, for instance, the investor receives all the positive
performance of the reference share and pays all the negative
performance plus interest based on LIBOR. At balance-sheet date,
Rolinco held a share swap ensuing from a securities-lending
transaction, with a market value of EUR 1.9 million. This position is
marked in the List of securities with an asterisk.

resulting from the management of the fund, with the exception of
costs relating to investments and taxes. The service fee covers the
administration, the costs of the external auditor, other external
advisers, regulators, costs relating to reports required by law, such
as the annual and semiannual reports, and the costs relating to the
meetings of shareholders. Other costs relate to bank charges and the
custody fee charged by third parties for the custody of the fund's
securities portfolio. The custody fee is EUR 197 thousand (previous
year EUR 196 thousand). The total expense ratio takes into account
the costs of intra-group investments, as presented in the etable on
page 17. As the management fee and the service and performance fees
are restituted to Rolinco, only the other costs of intra-group
investments are included in the total expense ratio. These costs are
less than 0.01%, which is why they are not presented in the table.
The interest on the convertible bond loan is no longer reported
because of a change in regulations which means that interest on
bonds no longer has to be included in the total expense ratio. The
comparative figures have been adjusted accordingly.
16 Management costs and service fee
Management costs relate exclusively to the management fee of 1.00%
per year. The service fee amounts to 0.12% per year. Formal and
operational expenses are paid from the service fee. These are
explained in the Notes to the total expense ratio. For assets
exceeding EUR 1 billion the service fee is 0.10% per year; for assets
exceeding EUR 5 billion the service fee is 0.08% per year. Up to 1
March 2006 the management fee and service fee were charged by Robeco
Nederland B.V., from this date onwards these fees have been charged
by Robeco Fund Management B.V. The fees are calculated on a daily
basis, based on the average assets entrusted. Wherever in this report
mention is made of the average assets entrusted this is also
calculated on a daily basis, unless stated otherwise.
17 Other costs
This includes bank charges and custody costs.
18 Performance fee
Rolinco N.V. is not subject to a performance fee.
19 Transaction costs
Brokerage costs and exchange fees relating to investment transactions
are discounted in the cost price or the sales value of the investment
transactions. These costs and fees are charged to the result ensuing
from changes in value. The quantifiable transaction costs are shown
below. The transaction volume of the quantifiable transaction costs
is 88.5% (previous year 96.6%) of the total transaction volume.

20 Commission-sharing arrangements, soft-dollar arrangements and
hard commissions
Various independent research institutions/third parties provide
services to the company to support its decision-making process. Part
of the commission paid to brokers is used to pay for these services
through commission-sharing arrangements and in such cases the
commission is exclusively for research services. In 2006
commission-sharing arrangements represented an amount of EUR 270
thousand (last year EUR 72 thousand).
Furthermore, there are so-called soft-dollar arrangements to pay for
financial-service companies' services and products. These services
and products are covered by part of the commissions paid to brokers
in connection with the execution of securities transactions. Only the
aforementioned commission-sharing arrangements were used during the
reporting year. There were no soft-dollar arrangements (previous year
EUR 64 million) or hard commissions during the reporting year.
21 Turnover ratio
This shows the turnover of the investments against the average assets
entrusted and is a measure of the incurred transaction costs
resulting from the portfolio policy pursued and the ensuing
investment transactions. In the calculation method used, the amount
of the turnover is determined by the sum of the purchases and sales
of investments less the sum of issuance and repurchase of own shares.
If the outcome is negative, the turnover ratio is 0. The turnover
ratio is determined by expressing the amount of turnover as a
percentage of the average assets entrusted. The turnover ratio over
2006 is 3% against 40% in the previous year.
22 Transactions with affiliated parties
Part of the transaction volume over the reporting period relates to
transactions with affiliated parties. The table below shows the
various types of transactions where this was the case.

23 Securities lending
Robeco Securities Lending B.V. is the intermediary for all Rolinco
N.V.'s securities-lending transactions. As compensation for its
services Robeco Securities Lending B.V. receives a fee of 40% of the
gross income resulting from these securities-lending transactions. An
external agency periodically assesses whether the agreements between
the fund and Robeco Securities Lending B.V. are still in line with
the market. In 2006 the proceeds for the fund amounted to EUR 507
thousand (last year EUR 341 thousand). For Robeco Securities Lending
B.V. this was EUR 352 thousand (last year EUR 227 thousand).
24 Voting policy for stocks in the investment portfolio
In 2006 Rolinco N.V. voted at the majority of the general meetings of
shareholders of the companies in which it invests. If the shares of
an investment position have been lent out, the voting rights attached
to those shares may not be exercised during general meetings of
shareholders. If an important event were to occur, the shares that
have been lent out may be recalled in order for the voting rights
attached to these shares to be able to be exercised. The voting
policy and more information about votes cast can be found on Robeco
Group's Internet site, www.robeco.com.
25 Personnel costs
Rolinco N.V. does not employ personnel. Robeco Nederland B.V. is the
employer of Rolinco N.V.'s management board and personnel in the
Netherlands. Their remuneration is paid out of the management fees
received.
Robeco Nederland B.V.'s remuneration policy for fund managers
consists of both fixed and variable income. The secondary conditions
of employment are in line with what is common practice in the
financial-services industry.
The fixed income offers a good and competitive remuneration basis
within the Dutch asset-management market. A fund manager is assigned
to a salary scale with a minimum and maximum income based on the
level of responsibility of his function (Hay method for function
valuation). Growth within this scale is linked to results, including
performance results, and competencies.
The variable income offers the fund manager remuneration for his
individual, long-term outperformance. Payment is related to the
outperformance relative to a preset target. The track record over
both a 1-year and 3-year period is taken into account when
determining the variable remuneration. The variable remuneration to
which the fund manager is entitled for any single year, is paid out
over a three-year period (60% in the first year, 30% in the second
and 10% in the third year).
Fund managers, are given the opportunity to participate directly in
Robeco's future through virtual shares (E-notes). The individual
allocation of E-notes is linked to individual performance and the
contribution to the realization of the strategic targets of Robeco
as a whole and the individual's own business unit. The E notes
represent a value which is directly linked to Robeco Groep N.V.'s
value.

Auditor's report
Report on the financial statements
We have audited the financial statements 2006 of Rolinco N.V.,
Rotterdam, which comprise the balance sheet as at 31 December 2006,
the profit and loss account for the year then ended and the notes.
Management's responsibility
The company's management is responsible for the preparation and fair
presentation of the financial statements and for the preparation of
the report of the management board, both in accordance with Part 9 of
Book 2 of the Netherlands Civil Code and the Investment Institutions
Supervision Act. This responsibility includes: designing,
implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the
preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements that
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error;
selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; and making
accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.
Auditor's responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial
statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance
with Dutch law. This law requires that we comply with ethical
requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance whether the financial statements are free from material
misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence
about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The
procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the
entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate
in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. An
audit also includes an evaluation of how appropriate the accounting
policies and how reasonable the management's accounting estimates
are, as well as an evaluation of the overall presentation of the
financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements give a true and fair view of
the financial position of Rolinco N.V. as at 31 December, 2006, and
of its result for the year then ended in accordance with Part 9 of
Book 2 of the Netherlands Civil Code and the Investment Institutions
Supervision Act.
Report on other legal and regulatory requirements
Pursuant to the legal requirement under 2:393 sub 5 part e of the
Netherlands Civil Code, we report, to the extent of our competence,
that the report of the management board is consistent with the
financial statements as required by 2:391 sub 4 of the Netherlands
Civil Code.
