The positive result from companies accounted for using the equity method primarily resulted from gains on loans in U.S. dollars and euros at OAO Severneftegazprom due to the appreciation of the Russian ruble.

The higher interest expenses can be attributed to the higher level of debt. Lower interest levels in the United States and in Europe had an offsetting effect. The decline in interest income was due in particular to the partial repayment of the loan granted to OAO Severneftegazprom in the previous year.

The lower level of expected income from pension plan assets can be attributed to the decline in pension plan assets compared with the previous year.

Additional pension obligations occurred due to the acquisition of Ciba. As a result, expenses for interest accrued on pension obligations and similar obligations increased.
