The first two quarters of 2007 were characterised by warm weather and lower than
average power and heat demand. Both temperatures and demand were closer to
average levels in the third quarter. Throughout the first nine months of the
year, a strong hydrological situation combined with low carbon dioxide emission
allowance prices led to low Nordic spot prices. Despite the challenging market
conditions, Fortum improved its performance compared to last year. The company's
financial position remained strong. Net cash from operating activities improved
to EUR 1,325 (1,059) million.
Fortum sold its slightly over 1/3 stake in Russian JSC Lenenergo for EUR 295
million. The after-tax gain of EUR 232 million has been booked as a
non-recurring item in the Distribution segment's operating profit. This
corresponds to EUR 0.26 per share in Fortum's third-quarter result.
Fortum participated in the share issue of Russian Territorial Generating Company
1 (TGC-1) and maintained its 25.4% ownership. The total value of Fortum's
subscription was EUR 243 million.
In the third quarter, the Power Generation segment's achieved Nordic power price
was EUR 39.9 (39.1), up by 2% from last year and clearly higher than the average
spot price of electricity in Nord Pool, the Nordic power exchange. The average
spot price of electricity in Nord Pool was EUR 19.7 (59.8) per megawatt-hour
(MWh), approximately 67% lower than the same period last year.
Financial results
July - September
Group sales were EUR 860 (946) million.
Group operating profit totalled EUR 510 (216) million, lifted by the one-off
gain from the sale of Fortum's holding in Lenenergo. Comparable operating profit
increased by EUR 13 million to EUR 238 (225) million. The comparable operating
profit was affected by the negative EUR 13 million one-time effect from
increased nuclear waste management costs in the Power Generation segment.

January - September
Group sales were EUR 3,159 (3,237) million.
Group operating profit totalled EUR 1,327 (1,000) million. Comparable operating
profit increased by EUR 51 million to EUR 1,048 (997) million.
The gain on the sale of Lenenergo shares increased third-quarter operating
profit by EUR 232 million.
Profit before taxes was EUR 1,433 (973) million.
The Group's net financial expenses increased to EUR 117 (78) million. The
increase is mainly attributable to a higher average level of debt and a lower
EUR 4 (24) million change in the fair value of derivatives.
The share of profit of associates and joint ventures was EUR 223 (51) million.
The biggest contributor was Hafslund ASA in Norway. In the first quarter,
Hafslund announced that it had completed the sale of 35 million shares in
Renewable Energy Corporation (REC) at NOK 138 per share. As a consequence,
Fortum booked a gain of EUR 180 million, corresponding to EUR 0.20 per share, in
its first-quarter result. After this transaction, Hafslund still owns 70.4
million shares in REC.
Hafslund is showing the fair value change in the REC shareholding through the
income statement, while Fortum is showing the fair value change in equity. The
cumulative fair value change booked in Fortum's equity and based on the
remaining number of shares reported by Hafslund was approximately EUR 730
million at the end of September 2007.
Fortum received EUR 145 million in dividends from Hafslund in the second
quarter. EUR 123 million of the dividend was due to the sale of REC.
Minority interests accounted for EUR 31 (26) million. The minority interests are
mainly attributable to Fortum Värme Holding, in which the City of Stockholm has
a 50% economic interest.
Taxes for the period totalled EUR 218 (214) million. The tax rate according to
the income statement was 15.2% (22.0%), mainly due to the non-taxable gains of
EUR 180 million from Hafslund's sale of REC shares and EUR 232 million from the
sale of Lenenergo shares.
The profit for the period was EUR 1,215 (759) million. Fortum's earnings per
share were EUR 1.33 (0.83). Return on capital employed was 16.1% for the last
twelve months (13.4% at year-end 2006), and return on shareholders' equity was
20.0% for the last twelve months (14.4% at year-end 2006).
Market conditions
According to preliminary statistics, the Nordic countries consumed 84 (80) TWh
of electricity during the third quarter of the year. During the first nine
months of the year, the Nordic countries consumed about 289 (290) TWh, which was
on the same level as last year.
The third quarter started with the Nordic water reservoirs being 4 TWh above the
long-term average. At the end of September, the Nordic water reservoirs were 8
TWh above the long-term average and 34 TWh above the corresponding level in
2006.
During the third quarter, the average spot price for power in Nord Pool was EUR
19.7 (59.8) per megawatt-hour or 67% lower than in the corresponding period in
2006 and 12% lower than in the previous quarter. During the first nine months of
the year, the average spot price for power in Nord Pool was EUR 22.9 (49.9) per
megawatt-hour, or 54% lower than in the corresponding period in 2006. The low
spot price was due to the strong hydrological situation and low CO2 emission
prices.
During the third quarter, the average market price for 2007 CO2 emissions was
EUR 0.1 (15.9) per tonne CO2, or 99% lower than in the corresponding period in
2006. During the first nine months of the year, the average market price for
2007 CO2 emissions was EUR 0.9 (20.3) per tonne, or 96% lower than in the
corresponding period of the previous year.
In Germany, the average spot price for the third quarter was higher compared to
the Nordic area, resulting in a net export from the Nordic area to Germany.
Total power and heat generation figures
Fortum's total power generation during January-September was 38.0 (39.3) TWh, of
which 37.2 (38.4) TWh was in the Nordic countries, representing 13% (13%) of the
total Nordic electricity consumption. During the period, approximately 92% of
the generated power was CO2-free.
Fortum's total power and heat generation figures are presented below. In

The segment's power generation during the third quarter amounted to 9.5 (10.4)
TWh in the Nordic countries.
In January-September, the segment's power generation in the Nordic countries was
33.9 (35.3) TWh, of which about 15.3 (14.2) TWh or 45% (40%) was
hydropower-based, 18.2 (18.0) TWh or 54% (51%) nuclear power-based, and 0.4
(3.1) TWh or 1% (9%) thermal power-based. The increase in hydropower generation
was due to a strengthened hydrological situation. The year-on-year increase in
nuclear generation was caused mainly by unplanned shut-downs in the Swedish
nuclear power plants in the latter part of 2006. Thermal power generation
decreased due to the low spot price. In January-September, approximately 97% of
the segment's power generation was CO2-free.

*) For the Power Generation segment in the Nordic countries, excluding
pass-through sales.
Fortum Generation's achieved Nordic power price (excluding pass-through items)
in the third quarter was 2% higher than a year ago, due to hedging. During the
first nine months of the year, Fortum Generation's achieved Nordic power price
was 4% higher, while the average spot price in Nord Pool was 54% lower than
during the corresponding period in 2006. The related sales volume was 9.6 (10.8)
TWh in the third quarter and 33.9 (36.2) TWh for the first nine months of the
year.
The comparable operating profit of the Power Generation segment was slightly
lower in the third quarter than in the corresponding period last year. The
positive impact from the higher achieved Nordic power price and increased
nuclear power generation was offset by the negative impact of lower thermal
power generation volumes, low performance in Fortum Service and the EUR 13
million one-time effect from higher nuclear waste management costs.
In January-September, the comparable operating profit was higher than last year.
The segment's achieved Nordic power price was higher due to the higher hedge
prices. The positive impact from increased hydropower and nuclear power
generation was offset by lower thermal power generation volumes and the one-time
effect from higher nuclear waste management costs.
The higher nuclear waste management costs are based on the new technical plan
and updated cost estimate in Loviisa nuclear power plant in Finland. The plan is
made every third year. Fortum's legal nuclear waste management liability is
calculated according to the Nuclear Energy Act and will be decided by the
Ministry of Trade and Industry latest in January 2008. The future costs are
estimated to increase mainly due to the new technical solution related to
filling material for the tunnels in the final repository. The legal liability is
estimated to increase by approximately EUR 130 million.
Fortum is obligated to contribute the funds in full to the State Nuclear Waste
Management Fund (the Fund) to cover the legal liability. Fortum has applied for
periodising of the payments to the fund over six years. The decision will be by
the Council of State latest in January 2008. Fortum's accounting of the nuclear
waste management liability is based on the assumption that the periodising over
six years will be approved.
In June 2007, Fortum submitted to the Finnish Ministry of Trade and Industry the
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) programme regarding a new nuclear power
plant possibly to be built at Hästholmen island in Loviisa. Fortum will compile
the actual EIA report based on this programme and the statements received about
it. The EIA report will be submitted to the Ministry by summer of next year. The
subject of the EIA process is the construction of a new, 1000-1800 MW nuclear
power plant.
In July, the Finnish Government granted new operating licences to Loviisa
nuclear power plant units 1 and 2. The licences were applied for by Fortum Power
and Heat Oy last November. For Loviisa 1, the new licence is valid until the end
of 2027 and for Loviisa 2, until the end of 2030. The current licences, which
were granted in 1998, expire at the end of this year. Fortum's Loviisa power
plant has produced nuclear power for thirty years. The annual refuelling outages
in Loviisa were completed in September.
Heat
The business area comprises heat generation and sales in the Nordic countries
and other parts of the Baltic Rim. Fortum is a leading heat producer in the
Nordic region. The segment also generates power in combined heat and power
plants (CHP) and sells it to end-customers mainly by long-term contracts, as
well as to Nord Pool. The segment includes the business units Värme, operating
in Sweden, and Heat, operating in other markets.

The segment's heat sales during the third quarter amounted to 3.0 (2.7) TWh,
most of which was generated in the Nordic countries. In January-September, heat
sales totalled 16.8 (17.5) TWh. During the same periods, power sales at combined
heat and power plants (CHP) totalled 0.6 (0.8) TWh and 3.3 (3.3) TWh.
The Heat segment's comparable operating loss during the third quarter was at the
same level as last year. The comparable operating profit of the Heat segment in
the first nine months of the year was EUR 12 million higher than last year. This
was mainly attributable to the acquisition of Fortum Espoo (E.ON Finland).
Results increased also in Poland due to efficiency improvements.

The volume of distribution and regional network transmissions totalled 18.4
(17.6) TWh and 13.2 (13.5) TWh, respectively.
Electricity transmissions via the regional distribution network totalled 10.9
(11.2) TWh in Sweden and 2.3 (2.3) TWh in Finland.
Lower costs for grid losses and costs related to the new billing system last
year contributed to the improved third-quarter comparable operating profit for
the segment. The segment was able to improve its nine-month result despite the
additional costs caused by storms at the beginning of the year. Also the
acquisition of Fortum Espoo (E.ON Finland) contributed positively to the
segment.
The after-tax gain of EUR 232 million from selling the holding in JSC Lenenergo
has been booked in Distribution segment's operating profit.

Fortum Distribution has decided to refrain from charging around 400,000 Finnish
distribution customers the fixed monthly fee during December 2007. Fortum wants
to stay within the income limits set by the Finnish distribution regulation for
the period 2005-2007.
Swedish law requires that all distribution customers in Sweden have a monthly
meter reading by mid-2009. The pace of automatic meter reader installation in
Sweden is accelerating, leading to additional costs.
The new customer and billing system in Sweden has continued to cause extra
costs.
Markets
Markets is responsible for retail sales of electricity to a total of 1.3 million
private and business customers as well as to other electricity retailers in
Sweden, Finland and Norway. Markets buys its electricity through Nord Pool.

During the third quarter, Markets electricity sales totalled 8.3 (8.6) TWh with
sales for the first nine months of the year amounting to 29.1 (30.6) TWh.
The Markets segment's third-quarter operating profit was clearly positive and
higher compared to last year. The improved performance is mainly explained by
lower procurement costs. The segment's sales volume was 0.3 TWh lower than last
year.
In the first nine months of the year, the comparable operating profit of the
Markets segment turned positive, but was lower than last year. Net sales were
lower than in the comparable period last year due to lower retail prices. The
sales volume was1.5 TWh less compared to the first nine months in 2006.
Markets customer net flow in the Nordic market was slightly negative due to
tight competition in Sweden. In Finland the customer flow has been positive in
the three first quarters of 2007 due to increasing sales of
environmentally-labelled electricity products.
The new customer and billing system in Sweden has continued to cause extra
costs.
Capital expenditures and investments in shares
Capital expenditures and investments in shares in January-September totalled EUR
646 (1,063) million. Investments, excluding acquisitions, were EUR 382 (297)
million.
Fortum has sold its slightly over 1/3 stake in JSC Lenenergo for approximately
EUR 295 million. The decision to sell the Lenenergo shares is in line with
Fortum's strategy in Russia to invest primarily in generation assets. The
current business of Lenenergo is electricity distribution in the city of St.
Petersburg and the Leningrad region.
In September, Fortum participated in the share issue of Russian Territorial
Generating Company 1 (TGC-1), subscribing to 243,691,499,640 new shares in the
company. At 0.035 rubles per share, the total value of Fortum's subscription was
approximately 8.5 billion rubles, or approximately EUR 243 million. With this
subscription, Fortum maintained its 25.4% stake in TGC-1 and its position as the
second largest shareholder of the company.
Financing
During the third quarter, net debt decreased by EUR 154 million to EUR 4,456
million from EUR 4,610 million at the end of the second quarter (EUR 4,345
million at year-end 2006).
Liquidity remained strong with cash and marketable securities amounting to EUR
815 million at the end of the quarter. The Group also had access to
approximately EUR 1.6 billion of undrawn committed credit facilities. No new
material financing arrangements were established during the quarter.
The Group's net financial expenses were EUR 117 (78) million. The increase is
attributable to changes in fair values of derivatives of EUR 4 (24) million and
approximately EUR 0.6 billion higher average net debt in 2007 compared to 2006.
Net interest expenses were EUR 107 (92) million.
Fortum Corporation's long-term credit rating from Moody's and Standard and
Poor's was A2 (stable) and A- (stable), respectively
Shares and share capital
In January-September, a total of 647.9 million Fortum Corporation shares
totalling EUR 14,539 million were traded. Fortum's market capitalisation,
calculated using the closing quotation of the last trading day of the quarter,
was EUR 22,963 million. The highest quotation of Fortum Corporation shares on
the Helsinki Stock Exchange in the first nine months of the year was EUR 26.63,
the lowest EUR 20.01, and the volume weighted average quotation EUR 22.49. The
closing quotation on the last trading day of the third quarter was EUR 25.74.
A total of 646,973 shares subscribed for based on share option schemes were
entered into the trade register in the third quarter of 2007. After these
subscriptions, the total number of registered shares is 892,118,926.
At quarter end, the Finnish state's holding in Fortum was 50.5%. The proportion
of nominee registrations and direct foreign shareholders was 35.6%.
Currently, the Board of Directors has no unused authorisations from the Annual
General Meeting of Shareholders to issue convertible loans or bonds with
warrants or to issue new shares. Currently, the Board of Directors has an
authorisation from the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on 28 March 2007
to buy Fortum Corporation's own shares. The authorisation, amounting to EUR 300
million or 20 million shares, is valid until the next Annual General Meeting.
The shares repurchased by Fortum shall be cancelled through a separate decision
made by the Board of Directors of Fortum.
Group personnel
The average number of employees in the Group during the period from January to
September was 8,305 (9,085). The number of employees at the end of the period
was 8,306 (9,182).
Russia
Fortum's main holdings in Russia stem from its past ownership in JSC Lenenergo,
an integrated power and heat company in the St. Petersburg region. In late 2005,
the company's generation assets were spun-off and a regional generation company,
TGC-1, was formed. JSC Lenenergo continued as a regional distribution company.
In the third quarter 2007, Fortum sold its holding in JSC Lenenergo. The sale
was in line with Fortum's strategy in Russia of focusing on power generation.
Fortum maintained its 25.4% ownership in the regional generation company TGC-1.
Fortum is evaluating opportunities to participate in share issues and ownership
restructurings in the Russian power generation sector in order to further
strengthen its position in the Russian wholesale power market.
In October, Fortum sold its approximately 0.7% holding in the Russian Wholesale
Generating Company 5 (WGC-5) for approximately EUR 28 million.
Outlook
The key market driver influencing Fortum's business performance is the Nordic
wholesale price of electricity. Key drivers behind the wholesale price
development are the Nordic hydrological situation, CO2 emissions allowance
prices and fuel prices. The Swedish krona exchange rate also affects Fortum's
reported result, as results generated by Fortum in Sweden are translated into
euros.
Fortum's financial results are exposed to a number of strategic, financial and
operational risks. For further details of Fortum's risks and risk management,
see Fortum's Operating and Financial Review and Financial Statements 2006.
According to general market information, electricity consumption in the Nordic
countries is predicted to increase by about 1% a year over the next few years.
In early October, the Nordic water reservoirs were about 7 TWh above the
long-term average and 32 TWh above the corresponding level of 2006. In
mid-October, the market price for emissions allowances for 2007 was about EUR
0.1 per tonne of CO2 and for 2008 between EUR 22-23 per tonne of CO2. At the
same time, the electricity forward price for the rest of 2007 was around EUR
41-45 per MWh, for 2008 around EUR 49-52 per MWh and for 2009 around EUR 49-51
per MWh.
The first and last quarters of the year are usually the strongest quarters for
the power and heat businesses.
Fortum Power Generation's achieved Nordic power price typically depends on e.g.
the hedge ratio, hedge price, spot price, utilisation and optimisation of
Fortum's flexible production portfolio - even on an hourly basis - and currency
fluctuations. If Fortum would not hedge any of its production volumes, a 1
EUR/MWh change in the spot price would result in approximately a EUR 50 million
change in Fortum's annual operating profit.
At the beginning of October, Fortum had hedged approximately 85% of the Power
Generation segment's estimated Nordic electricity sales volume for the remainder
of 2007 at approximately EUR 41 per MWh. For the calendar year 2008,
approximately 65% of the Power Generation segment's estimated Nordic electricity
sales volume was hedged at approximately EUR 44 per MWh. For the calendar year
2009, approximately 20% of the Power Generation segment's estimated Nordic
electricity sales volume was hedged at approximately EUR 45 per MWh. These hedge
ratios may vary significantly depending on Fortum's actions on the electricity
derivatives markets. Hedge prices are also influenced by changes in the SEK/EUR
exchange rates, as part of the hedges are conducted in SEK.
Increases in nuclear capacity and hydro property taxes and changes in the
CO2-tax have been proposed in Sweden in conjunction with the government's 2008
budget. Fortum estimates that its additional costs due to these taxes will be
just under EUR 30 million in 2008.
Fortum achieved good nine-month results, despite challenging market conditions
and low Nord Pool spot prices. The Group's financial position is strong. With
its flexible and climate-benign production portfolio, Fortum continues to be
well positioned for the future.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL
STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PREPARATION
The condensed interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34, Interim Financial Reporting,
as adopted by the EU.
The condensed interim financial report should be read in conjunction with the
annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2006.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the Group's
annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2006, except for
changes listed below.
The following new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations that
have been considered to be relevant for the Group
have been adopted by the Group as of 1 January 2007.
- IFRS 7 Financial instruments: Disclosures and a complementary amendment to
IAS 1, Presentation of Financial statements - Capital disclosures. IFRS 7
introduces new disclosure requirements relating to financial instruments. The
standard does not have any impact on the classification or valuation of the
Group's financial instruments as such.
- IFRIC 9 Reassessment of Embedded derivatives. The interpretation requires the
determination of whether the arrangement contains embedded derivatives, which
have to be reported separately as derivative instruments.
- IFRIC 10 Interim Financial Reporting and Impairment: IFRIC 10 denies to
reverse the impairment charge reported in interim report at later closing dates
of the financial year.
These newly adopted standards and interpretations have not had any effect on the
reported income statement, balance sheet or disclosures.
The following interpretations are mandatory for the financial year ending 31
December 2007, but not relevant for the Group.
- IFRIC 7 Applying the Restatement Approach under IAS 29 Financial Reporting in
Hyperinflatory Economies.
- IFRIC 8 Scope of IFRS 2.
For further information on accounting of associates, see Note 13 below.
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
The preparation of Interim financial statements requires management to make
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, income and expense. Annual results may differ from these
estimates.
In preparing these interim financial statements, the significant judgements made
by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of
estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the annual
financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2006.

9. INCOME TAX EXPENSE
Tax rate according to the income statement for the period January to September
2007 was 15.2% (22.0%). The tax rate for the period is low mainly due to the
impact of Hafslund´s sale of REC shares in March 2007 which impacted the share
of profits from associates for the period with approximately EUR 180 million and
the capital gain, EUR 232 million, from sale of JSC Lenenergo shares in August
2007. The tax rate used in the income statement is always impacted by the fact
that share of profits of associates and joint ventures is recorded based on
Fortum's share of profits after tax.

Accounting for the share of profits from Hafslund ASA
According to Fortum Group accounting policies the share of profits from Hafslund
has been included in Fortum Group figures based on the previous quarter
information since Hafslund's interim reports are published later than Fortum's
interim reports. Hafslund will publish January-September 2007 results on 26
October 2007.
When calculating the share of profits in Hafslund, Fortum has in accordance with
Fortum's accounting policies reclassified Hafslund's accounting treatment
for the shareholding in Renewable Energy Corporation (REC). Hafslund has
classified the shareholding in REC as financial assets at fair value through
profit and loss while Fortum has classified the REC shareholding as available
for sale financial assets with fair value changes recorded directly through
equity, only when Hafslund divests shares in REC, the cumulative fair value
change effects Fortum's income statement.
Since REC has been listed on the Oslo stock exchange as of 9 May 2006, Fortum is
accounting for the fair value change in REC based on the closing price on the
Oslo stock exchange at each closing date. The amount of shares is based on the
amount
published by Hafslund in the previous quarter if other information is not
available.
Hafslund sold 35 million shares in REC in March 2007. In accordance with the
accounting policy Fortum recognised approximately EUR 180 million in relation
to Hafslund's divestment of REC shares as a part of the share of profits from
associates and joint ventures in Q1 2007. The cumulative fair value change in
Fortum's equity based on the remaining number of shares reported by Hafslund was
approximately EUR 730 million at 30 September 2007.
Share issue in TGC-1
In September Fortum participated in the share issue of Russian Territorial
Generating Company 1 (TGC-1) subscribing to 243,691,499,640 new shares in the
company. At 0.035 rubles per share, the total value of Fortum´s subscription was
approximately 8.5 billion rubles or EUR 243 million. With this subscription,
Fortum maintained its 25.4% stake in TGC-1 and its position as the second
largest shareholder of the company.
Dividends received
Fortum has received a total of EUR 174 million in dividend income from
associated companies, of which the dividend from Hafslund represents EUR 145
million.
Divestment of JSC Lenenergo
In August Fortum sold its slightly over 1/3 stake in JSC Lenenergo for
approximately EUR 295 million. The buyers were VTB Bank, I.D.E. Electricity
Distribution Investments 1 Ltd and the Russian energy company RAO UES. As a
consequence, Fortum has booked an after tax gain of EUR 232 million. The sales
gain is presented in Other income.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fortum has submitted the yearly proposal for the nuclear waste management
liability regarding the Loviisa nuclear power plant to the Ministry of Trade and
Industry. The liability is calculated according to the Nuclear Energy Act and
will be decided by Ministry of Trade and Industry by the end of January 2008.
The proposal is based on an updated cost estimate, which is done every year, and
on a new technical plan, which is made every third year. Based on the new plan,
the future costs are estimated to increase mainly due to the new technical
solution related to filling material for the tunnels in the final repository.
According to
the Nuclear Energy Act, Fortum is obligated to contribute the funds
in full to the State Nuclear Waste Management Fund to cover the legal liability.
Fortum has applied for periodising of the payments to the Fund, due to the
proposed increase in the legal liability, over six years based on the law. The
application will be decided by Council of State latest January 2008.
Fortum's accounting in the Q3 interim report 2007 is based on that both the
proposal for legal liability and the proposal for periodisation of payments to
the Fund will be approved.
The legal liability at the end of 2007, based on the proposal to the Ministry of
Trade and Industry and calculated according to the Nuclear Energy Act in
Finland, is EUR 816 million.The carrying value of the nuclear provision in the
balance sheet, calculated according to IAS 37, have increased with EUR 52
million compared to 30 June 2007, totalling EUR 510 million as of 30 September
2007. The increase of the provision has caused a negative one-time effect of EUR
13 million in comparable operating profit in Q3 2007 due to higher nuclear waste
management costs related to already spent fuel. The main reason for the
difference between the carrying value of the provision and the legal liability
is the fact that the legal liability is not discounted to net present value.
The proposal to the Council of State for periodisation of the payments to the
State Nuclear Waste Management Fund has an impact on cash-flow, but also on
operating profit since the carrying value of the Fund cannot exceed the carrying
value of the nuclear provision according to IFRIC Interpretation 5. The Fund is
from an IFRS perspective overfunded with EUR 139 million, since Fortum's share
of the Fund as of 30 September 2007 is EUR 649 million and the carrying value in
the balance sheet is EUR 510 million.
Operating profit for the nine months ending 30 September 2007 includes a
positive cumulative adjustment of EUR 24 (5) million, due to the increase of the
carrying value of the Fund in the balance sheet as a result of the increased
provision. The positive effect on Q3 2007 is EUR 33 (-2) million. This
adjustment is included in "Other items effecting comparability" in the Power
Generation segment, see Note 4 Primary segment information, and is not included
in comparable operating profit. As long as the Fund stays overfunded from an
IFRS perspective, positive accounting effects to Operating profit will always
occur when the nuclear provision is increasing more than the net payments to the
Fund. Negative accounting effects will occur when the net payments to the Fund
are higher than the increase of the provision.
The existing funding target for 2007, EUR 649 million, has been fully
contributed to the Fund as of 30 September 2007. The difference between the
legal liability at year end 2006and the funding target for 2007, EUR 36 million,
is covered by a security which has been given in the end of June 2007.

Further information on contingent liabilities can be found in Note 42 of the
annual financial statemements for the year ended 31 December 2006.
Other contingent liabilities, EUR 224 million, have increased with EUR 80
million since 31 December 2006. The main reason for the increase is guarantees
given to suppliers for the new CHP plant being built in Czestochowa in
Poland.
The Swedish Energy Market Authority, Energimyndigheten, announced on 10 April
2007 the decision concerning pricing at two electricity distribution areas of
Fortum in 2003. According to the decision Fortum would have to return about SEK
250 million of the collected distribution charges. The authority has previously
published respective decisions for 13 distribution companies. Fortum has
appealed against the decision to the County Administrative Court, because the
theoretical grid model the authority applies as its basis does not correspond to
the actual circumstances. All the other distribution companies that got the
decision have also appealed. The decisions will not be efficient until the
appeal processes have been finished. No provision or contingent liability in
relation to this decision has been recognised.
20. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Related party transactions are described in the annual financial statements as
of the year ended 31 December 2006. No material changes have occurred during
the period.
The Finnish State owned 50.82% of the shares in Fortum 31 December 2006. At 30
September 2007 the Finnish State ownership has changed to 50.55% due to the
diluting effect of the shares subscribed with options during the period.
