CLARIFICATION TO FORTUM'S INTERIM REPORT
The attachment to the Interim Report published today at 9 a.m.
(GMT +2) contained a rounding error compared to the Report.
In the income statement, profit before taxes for the third quarter
2004 is EUR 289 million as stated in the Interim Report and not
EUR 288 million as stated in the attachment.
The deviation does not have any impact on the key figures in the
Interim Report.

The fair values of derivative contracts subject to public trading are based on
market prices as of the balance sheet date. The fair values of other derivatives
are based on the present value of cash flows resulting from the contracts, and,
in respect of options, on evaluation models. The amounts also include unsettled
closed positions. Derivative contracts are mainly used to manage the group's
currency, interest rate and price risk.
