The figures are unaudited.

All figures in this financial report have been rounded and consequently the sum of individual figures can deviate from the presented sum figure.

This Interim Consolidated Financial Statement has been prepared in compliance with IAS 34. Kemira Group has corrected a previous year error in accordance with IAS 8. The nature of the error is described in the end of the report.

Changes to the accounting policies as of January 1, 2007:

  • IFRS 7 (Financial Instruments: Disclosures) has been adopted by the Group in 2007

  • Revised IAS 1 (Disclosures about capital) has been adopted by the Group in 2007

The Group assesses that the adoption of the revised standards will not have any material effect on its future financial statements. However, the resulting changes will add disclosures to the Financial Statements.

Major off-balance sheet investment commitments

Major amounts of contractual commitments for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment on June 30, 2007 were EUR 33 million for the construction of the chemical plant in Uruguay and EUR 13 million for the investment of Kemira Coatings in Russia.

Litigation

The Group has extensive international operations and is involved in a number of legal proceedings incidental to these operations. The Group does not expect the outcome of any legal proceedings currently pending to have a materially adverse effect upon the Group's consolidated result.

Kemira Chemicals, Inc. has received a grand jury subpoena to produce documents in connection with an investigation by the United States Department of Justice's Antitrust Division, relating to the hydrogen peroxide business in the US. Kemira Oyj, Kemira Chemicals, Inc. and Kemira Chemicals Canada, Inc. have recently received claims or were named in class action lawsuits filed by direct and indirect purchasers of hydrogen peroxide and persalts in US federal and state courts and in Canada.

In these civil actions it is alleged that the US plaintiffs suffered damages resulting from a cartel among hydrogen peroxide suppliers. The existence of the United States Departments of Justice's Antitrust Division's investigations and the European Commission's ruling in a case of infringement of competition law in May 2006 are relied upon in support of the allegations.

RELATED PARTY

Related party transactions have not changed materially after annual closing 2006.

The fair values of the instruments which are publicly traded are based on market valuation on the date of reporting. Other instruments have been valuated based on net present values of future cash flows. Valuation models have been used to estimate the fair values of options.

Nominal values of the financial instruments do not necessarily correspond to the actual cash flows between the counterparties and do not therefore give a fair view of the risk position of the Group.

BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

The Cytec water treatment business

Kemira acquired the Cytec Industries, Inc.'s water treating and acryl amide business on October 1, 2006. Cytec's water treatment chemicals product line consists of water treatment solutions for industrial and municipal water treatment plants. The acquisition includes five production plants of which three are located in the US (Mobile/Alabama, Longview/Washington, and Fortier/Louisiana), and two in Europe (Bradford /UK and Botlek/the Netherlands).

The acquisition of Cytec's water treatment chemicals business is in line with Kemira's growth strategy. It also enables the Group to significantly broaden its current product portfolio and gain greater geographical presence in key markets and inside key customer segments. The acquired business' market regions include the US, South America, Asia and Europe.

The total price of the acquisition is approx. EUR 197 million but the amount is subject to the adjustment of net working capital. Capitalized acquisition costs directly attributed to the combination were EUR 3.2 million June 30, 2007. The acquisition was financed with Kemira Group's own cash assets and through existing financing agreements.

In addition to the purchase of the business (asset purchase agreement) which was closed October 1, 2006, Kemira signed a share purchase agreement to buy the shares of Cytec Manufacturing BV. The closing and payment of the share purchase was on January 11, 2007. Kemira has also signed transition service agreements with nine Cytec companies concerning certain transition services with respect of the products of the business (Overseas units). The assets related to these transition service agreements will be transferred to Kemira and paid gradually starting on July 1 and ending on September 1, 2007.

The control over the whole Cytec water treatment business was transferred to Kemira on October 1, 2006. The purchase price allocation of the Cytec water treatment business has been made for the June 30, 2007 financial statements. The fair values of the business combination's intangible assets consist of global patents, customer related assets and manufacturing knowhow.

Business combination has been done preliminarily since the business transfers of the Overseas units are still on-going according to the plan.

PRIOR PERIOD ERROR

An error was discovered related to the financial statements of 2006 and has been corrected retrospectively according to IAS 8. The error was related to the calculation of the provision made for the closure of the Water Soluble business unit and as a result of this the provision was reported 8 million euro too low. This has been corrected to the fourth quarter result of 2006. The income statement of full year 2006 and the balance sheet at December 31, 2006 were changed as follows:
