PRINCIPLES FOR CALCULATION
Publicly listed shares, mutual funds and derivatives have been valued at closing price. In case a closing price has been unavailable, the purchase quotation has been used. Unlisted shares have been valued to the purchase expense or the probable selling price in case the former is lower than the purchase expense. 

The deferred tax receivables constitute 29 % regarding overvalue, which is the difference between the market value and the booked value. However, Norvestia has estimated that at most 30% of the overvalue of the parent company will be realized during year 2004. For that reason, 70% of the deferred tax on unrealized overvalue in Norvestia has thus been calculated according to a tax rate of 26%. This is based on the new tax law that comes into effect from the beginning of year 2005. The method of calculation reduces the deferred tax by 0.4 million euros.

Unbooked deferred tax receivables are directed against deferred tax debts regarding overvalue with equal amounts in Neomarkka. The deferred tax liability on appreciation in Neomarkka amounts to EUR 1.5 million, of which EUR 0.5 million constitute Norvestia's part.
