Peter Wilkes, Managing Director at Innovest stated, "Innovest's ratings
are an indicator of a company's performance on intangible value drivers
and management quality. This information is used to support an investor's
existing financial knowledge of a company. It is widely accepted among
investors that extra-financial information is now required to get a full
understanding of a company's prospects."

securities analysis, Innovest's IVA ratings uncover hidden risks and value
potential for investors. Ratings range from AAA (best) to CCC (worst).
Scores on sub factors range from 10 (best) to 0 (worst).
Some of the areas of analysis for companies include: - Supply
