Notes to the reconciliation of opening balance sheet and equity 1. Goodwill According to FAS goodwill in the balance sheet is based on the excess of the purchase price over the equity of subsidiary at the moment of purchase. Under FAS goodwill is amortized according to plan (on a straight-line-basis over its expected useful life).

In the opening IFRS balance sheet Talentum group’s goodwill values remained unchanged as allowed in the IFRS 1- First-Time Adoption. Goodwill has been tested for impairment according to IFRS 1- First Time Adoption. Based on the impairment test 11.2 MEUR impairment loss was recognised. Prior to testing binding obligations in partner agreements were included in goodwill and in long term interest bearing debt (3.2 MEUR) respectively.

2. Other intangible assets Capitalized renovations of leaseholds (1.7 MEUR) have been shifted from the intangible assets to tangible assets.

3. Tangible assets Under FAS rental leases are treated as other leases. Under IFRS part of the rental leases have been reclassified as financial leases and they have been included in the balance sheet as tangible assets (0.3 MEUR) after deduction of accrued depreciations. Financial lease-items are depreciated mainly on the lease period basis. Lease obligations corresponding to financial lease-items are included in the balance sheet as long and short term interest bearing debt.

4. Own shares (held by parent company) Own shares are not included in assets or equity as required by IAS 32.

5. Available-for-sale investments and other receivables Available-for-sale investments consist of shares in listed and unlisted companies. Listed shares are valued at fair value (+ 0.2 MEUR). Unlisted shares are carried at cost or at lower value (less impairment). Listed equity shares in inventories have been shifted into available-for-sale investments (0.1 MEUR).

Impairment of 0.7 MEUR in long term investments and 0.1 MEUR in receivables were recognized.

6. Deferred tax assets Increase in deferred tax assets is mainly due to tax loss carry forwards of Satama Interactive group, when valued according to IFRS in the opening balance sheet (+ 3.7 MEUR).

7. Provision for pension liabilities Calculation of benefit plans based on pension solutions according to IAS 19 causes a liability of 1 MEUR in the balance sheet. Majority of group’s pension liabilities have been transferred into pension fund in the beginning of 2004.

Employment disability insurance is considered to be a defined contribution plan.

8. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include interest bearing investments and other investments with maturities at acquisition of shorter than three months.

9. Total Equity Adjustments caused by assets and liabilities recorded differently under IFRS and FAS or revaluation of balance sheet items due to IFRS are included in the equity of the opening balance sheet. Changes included in retained earnings are mainly due to goodwill impairment –11.2 MEUR based on IAS 36, recognized liability due to benefit plan based pension arrangement –0.7 MEUR, change in deferred tax +4.3 MEUR, recognized impairment in shares and receivables –0.5 MEUR and net change of other items +0.1 MEUR. Reserve for own shares 0.5 MEUR is not included in the group equity.

Minority shares are included in total equity as a separate item according to IAS 1, whereas under FAS it is not included in the shareholders’ equity.

10. Deferred tax liability Increase in deferred tax liability is mainly due to IFRS-changes in the opening balance sheet.

11. Long term provisions Long term provisions of 1 MEUR are presented as a separate item (under FAS: other liabilities).

12. Long and short term interest bearing debts Liability based on the financial lease-items increases both short term and long term interest bearing debt. Interest bearing debt includes 3.2 MEUR liabilities due to binding partner agreements.
