IFRS financial statement from 2004

Componenta is preparing its first financial statements and interim
reports in accordance with international financial reporting standards
(IFRS) in the 2005 financial year. This release presents Componenta's
2004 income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, key ratios,
reconciliation statements for shareholders' equity and result and the
Group's quarterly performance in accordance with the IFRS standards in
force on 31 March 2005. The financial information based on IFRS standards
presented in the summary may have to be amended before it is included in
the Group's first IFRS financial statements for the financial year ending
31 December 2005. This is due to the changes currently being made to the
IFRS standards, which may affect the financial statements of companies
that apply IFRS standards as from 2005.

Componenta has applied IFRS 1 (First-time Adoption of IFRS Standards),
which permits certain alternatives when applying the standards. The most
significant of these exemptions applied by Componenta are that it has
used FAS values for acquisitions in the IFRS transition date balance
sheet and has delayed adoption of IAS 32 and IAS 39 standards until 1
January 2005. The main changes in Componenta's IFRS transition relate to
real estates, goodwill, finance lease agreements, deferred tax assets and
liabilities, and the acquisition of the Dutch foundry company De Globe.

Impact of IFRS changes on 2004 income statement

The FAS 2004 profit after financial items was EUR 15.6 million and the
profit after financial items, excluding one-time items, was EUR 3.9
million. The IFRS profit after financial items was EUR 17.9 million and
the profit after financial items, excluding onetime items, was EUR 4.6
million. The FAS earnings per share was EUR 2.14 per share and earnings
per share calculated with period's taxes was EUR 1.54 per share, while
the IFRS earnings per share was EUR 1.62 per share.

Impact of IFRS changes on balance sheet on 1 January 2004 and 31 December 2004

The FAS balance sheet total on 1 January 2004 was EUR 190.6 million. The
IFRS changes increased the 2004 opening balance sheet total by EUR 4.4
million to EUR 195.0 million, due mainly to the entering of tax assets
and to finance lease agreements. The FAS balance sheet total at the end
of 2004 was EUR 273.1 million and the IFRS balance sheet total was 
EUR 272.4 million. During 2004 Componenta changed its accounting principles,
bringing them more into line with IFRS regulations, as is permitted by
Finnish Accounting Standards (FAS).

Most significant changes in the IFRS transition and their impact on the
income statement and balance sheet

Real estates

Componenta has valued real estates in the opening IFRS balance sheet, as
permitted in IFRS 1, either at historical value or at fair value. An
external expert has determined the fair value of real estates. The change
in the value of real estate assets reduced shareholders' equity in the
IFRS balance sheet on 31 December 2004 by EUR 5.7 million, mainly because
of the change in the accounting principles for a mutual real estate
company and the valuation of real estates at fair value in the opening
balance sheet on 1 January 2004. Depreciation of real estates entered in
the 2004 IFRS income statement increased EUR 0.6 million, mainly because
no depreciation was made on the revaluation of real
estates in the FAS financial statements.

Finance leases

Finance lease agreements are recognized in the IFRS balance sheet as
assets and liabilities. Rent payments under leasing agreements are
divided between financial expenses and repayment of liabilities. Assets
are depreciated in the balance sheet in accordance with the Group's
principles for depreciation. Recognizing  finance lease agreements in the
balance sheet increased Componenta's 2004 opening IFRS balance sheet by
EUR 5.3 million and the closing IFRS balance sheet by EUR 9.1 million.
The change in the accounting principles for finance lease agreements
improved the 2004 IFRS profit after financial items by EUR 0.5 million.

Goodwill

Goodwill is not amortized under planned depreciation. Instead of
amortization, corporate goodwill is tested for impairment. If the
recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit is lower than the carrying
amount of the cash-generating unit, including goodwill, then an
impairment loss is recognized for this cash-generating unit in the income
statement. Componenta's goodwill figures were tested on 1 January 2004
and on 31 December 2004. A one-time writedown of EUR 0.8 million was made
on goodwill in the 2004 opening IFRS balance sheet. The change in the
amortization principle of goodwill improved Componenta's 2004 IFRS profit
after financial items by EUR 1.2 million, with EUR 0.5 million of this
showing as a reduction in the Group's depreciation and EUR 0.7 million as
an improvement in the profit of the associated companies.

Deferred tax assets and tax liabilities

The IFRS balance sheet includes deferred tax liabilities in their
entirety and deferred tax assets up to the amount that can most probably
be utilized. Deferred tax assets for losses confirmed in taxation and for
losses for the financial year have been entered if the losses can most
probably be used to offset taxable income in future. Deferred tax
liabilities are calculated for Finnish companies using a tax percentage
of 26%, for Swedish companies using 28% and for Dutch companies 31.5%.

All the Group's tax assets have been entered in the FAS balance sheet and
IFRS balance sheet at the end of 2004. The deferred tax liability, which
is mainly related to the valuation of real estates, is entered in its
entirety in the 2004 IFRS balance sheet. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities have been netted in the balance sheet insofar as they are
payable to the same tax authority.

Acquisition of De Globe

Componenta acquired 55% of the shares and voting rights of the Dutch
foundry company De Globe during the first quarter of 2004 at a total cost
of EUR 4.3 million. Assets and liabilities were valued at fair value on
the acquisition date. The difference between the fair values and the
acquisition price resulted in negative goodwill of EUR 6.6 million, which
was recognized as income in connection with the acquisition. The fair
value allocations are mainly connected with inventories.

Segments

Componenta's primary segment is the business segment, which is
Cast Components. The secondary, geographical segment comprises the Nordic
Countries and Other European Countries.

Pensions

The pensions of personnel at the Group's Finnish companies are arranged
with the Finnish statutory employee pension scheme (TEL) insurance
through an external pension insurance company. NonFinnish subsidiaries
have arranged pensions for their personnel in accordance with local
legislation. Componenta has treated its employment pensions as defined
contribution pensions in its accounts. Most of the Group's pension
schemes are defined contribution schemes, for which payments are entered
in the income statement in the period in which they occur. Defined
benefit pension schemes have been treated in the same way if the pension
company has not been able to provide actuarial valuations. Debt from
defined benefit pension schemes is entered using the actuarial valuation
method. The disability part of the Finnish TEL system is also treated as
a defined contribution scheme since this is becoming a defined
contribution scheme.

Financial instruments (IAS 32 and IAS 39)
As from 1 January 2005, Componenta is also adopting IFRS standards in its
reporting of financial instruments.

Componenta uses derivative instruments to hedge its currency, interest
rate and electricity risks, and they are valued in IFRS at fair value.
Changes in fair value is entered in the income statement in cases where
hedge accounting is not applied. Loans are recognized according to IAS 39
using the amortized cost principle, if the acquisition cost includes
significant arrangement fees or issue premiums or losses that can be
allocated. These changes reduced Componenta's shareholders' equity by a
total of EUR 0.7 million on 1 January 2005. In accordance with IAS 32,
preferred capital notes are classified under IFRS as interest-bearing
liabilities.
