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 Wärtsiläs 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.

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 companys profit in Fiskars comparative figures increases even though the IFRS-adjustments have had a negative effect on Wärtsiläs 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.
