FISKARS IFRS COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2004

FISKARS IFRS COMPARATIVE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2004


Fiskars Corporation has adopted the International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS) as of 1.1.2005. Prior to IFRS adoption Fiskars
Corporation reported in accordance with Finnish Accounting Standards
(FAS). Preliminary comparative financial statements prepared in
accordance with FAS and IFRS for 2004 are published with the purpose
of providing information on the material transition impact to the
consolidated balance sheet and statement of income of Fiskars.

Fiskars has adopted the standards as at 31 March 2004 in its reporting
for comparative information for 2004 except for the standards IAS 39
(Financial Instruments: recognition and measurement) and IAS 32
(Financial Instruments: disclosure and presentation). For these the
adoption date is 1. January 2005. In the transition Fiskars has
applied certain exemptions allowed by the First-Time Adoption Standard
(IFRS1). The most significant of these for Fiskars are the exemptions
regarding valuation of tangible assets and reporting for business
combinations at the transition date.

The biggest changes compared with 2004 FAS financial statements come
from:

- including the value of the growing stock in the balance sheet
  (IAS 41 Biological Assets)

- adopting more precise rules to reporting for financial leasing
  agreements (IAS Leases)

- reporting change for businesses sold classified as discontinued
  businesses (IFRS Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued
  Businesses)

- precision and unification of reporting for defined pension benefit
  plans (IAS 19 Employee Benefits)


The garden furniture business sold in the autumn 2004 has been
classified as discontinued operations and it affects almost all
captions in the comparative income statement and balance sheet.

Associated company Wärtsilä has adopted IFRS at the same transition
date as Fiskars and the changes in Wärtsilä’s net profit and
shareholders’ equity also affect Fiskars financial statements.
Goodwill related to Wärtsilä was tested for impairment and there was
no need for write-down.

The IFRS income statements and balance sheets are not audited.

Income Statement and Balance Sheet

The adoption of IFRS will have a slightly positive affect on Fiskars
financial statements in the future. Due to IFRS the operating profit
will increase a little as goodwill is not amortized any longer and the
re-classification of leasing agreements changes the way lease costs
are booked. The total value of assets increases as the buildings
leased are included in the tangible assets and the respective
liabilities are included in the long-term liabilities. The value of
the growing stock is included in the balance sheet and this increases
both the assets and the shareholders’ equity. However, the impact in
Fiskars’ financial statements and financial position is not material.

IAS 39 and IAS 32 standards were adopted 1 January 2005. Fiskars does
not apply hedge accounting in accordance with IAS 39 and all financial
instruments are booked at fair value at the closing date.


Segments

The primary segments applied by Fiskars in its reporting in accordance
with IFRS are Fiskars Brands, Inha Works, Real Estate and associated
company Wärtsilä. This structure is used in Fiskars internal reporting
and complies with the division of responsibilities within the
corporation. Even if Fiskars Brands markets and manufactures a range
of different consumer products these are mostly sold through same
distribution channels and also production capacity and sourcing are
partly shared.


Goodwill

The goodwill in the opening balance of 32,5 mill. euro at 1.1.2004
refers to Fiskars Brands business only. The goodwill has been tested
for impairment in all cash-generating units in 2003 and 2004. The
impairment tests and recoverable amounts are based on estimated
discounted future cash-flows. Based on testing no impairment losses
were recognized. Major part of the goodwill amount refers to Garden
Outdoor Living –business unit.

APPENDIX 2  Additional information

1.  Biological assets are included at fair value less estimated point-
    of-sale costs. Fiskars owns forests in Finland and the valuation
    is based on the prevailing price-level at closing date, the data
    of amounts and quality in the long-term plans for forestry and the
    actual point-of-sale costs.

2.  Revaluations on land according to FAS have been reversed. Fiskars
    has elected in accordance with IFRS 1 exemptions to use fair value
    of some land areas as deemed cost at the transition date: the
    forest areas are booked at the ground- value and plots or sites on
    planned areas have been re-valued based on unified principles and
    earlier fair value estimates.

3.  Revenue recognition has been adjusted to comply with the more
    precise criteria in IAS 18 Revenue.

4.  Inventory valuation in the corporation has been made more
    consistent and precise in accordance with IAS 2 Inventory.

5.  All accumulated actuarial gains and losses from defined benefit
    plans are recognized in the opening balance sheet at 1.1.2004. The
    disability element of the Finnish pension scheme (TEL) is
    calculated as defined benefit plan in the Finnish Group companies
    and has been included as a liability in the opening balance sheet
    and it has been reversed to income in the last quarter of 2004.
    The pension liabilities are included in provisions.

6.  Development costs have been recognized in the balance sheet when
    they have met the recognition criteria in accordance with IAS 38
    Intangible Assets.

7.  Goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment in accordance
    with IFRS. Goodwill in acquisitions from December 2003 onwards has
    been recognized in accordance with IFRS 3. Based on the estimated
    recoverable amount of Garden Outdoor Living unit compared with its
    carrying amount, an impairment at the same amount as the goodwill
    amortization booked in the closing accounts of 2004 (FAS) was
    recognized.

8.  Classification of leases has been made more consistent and some
    lease agreements that have previously been classified according to
    FAS as operative lease agreements have been reclassified as
    financial lease agreements.

9.  Deferred tax adjustment is due to the impact from IFRS-
    adjustments.

10. Ownership in Wärtsilä is classified as associated company in the
    comparative opening balance sheet. The exemption allowed by IFRS 1
    has been utilized and the purchase accounting is based on the
    opening balance sheet of Wärtsilä prepared in accordance with
    IFRS. The differences in recognition criteria between the
    standards according to IFRS and FAS are the reason why the share
    of associated company’s profit in Fiskars comparative figures
    increases even though the IFRS-adjustments have had a negative
    effect on Wärtsilä’s net profit.

11. Other changes result mainly from differences in gains on sale of
    real estate due to new deemed cost under IFRS.


Other additional information

The Syroco garden furniture business has been classified to
discontinued operations as from 31 December 2003.

The Capital Loan (in accordance with Finnish legislation) is included
in long-term interest-bearing loans in the balance sheet according to
IFRS.

The fair value of cash flow hedge derivatives is included in the
balance sheet and the changes in the fair values are recognized
through profit and loss beginning 1 January 2005.

Fiskars owns real estate that are classified as investment property.
Investment property is valued at cost less accumulated depreciation.
The real estate in Fiskars Village is deemed to be one-of-its-kind and
therefore alternative reliable estimates of fair value are not
available.
