8.4 Attribution of profit or loss to noncontrolling interests.

lAS 27 (revised 2008) requires an entity to attribute their share of "comprehensive income"

(a con–

cept introduced by the lASS through a recent amendment

to

lAS

1

in 2007),

to the "noncontrolling

interest" (NCI) even if this results in the NCI having a deficit.

8.5 Loss of "significant influence" or "joint control."

Amendments to lAS 28 and lAS 31 extend the treatment required for "loss of control." Therefore,

when an investor loses "significant influence" over an associate, it derecognizes that associate and

recognizes in the profit or loss the difference between the sum of the proceeds received and any

retained interest, any carrying amount of the investment in associate at the date "significant

influence" is lost.

8.6 A similar treatment is required when an investor loses "joint control" over a jointly controlled

entity.

9. EXTRACTS FROM PUBLISHED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

9.1 NOKIA, Annual Report 2006

Notes to the Financial Statements

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Nokia's parent company ("Parent

Company"), and each of those companies over which the Group exercises control. Control over an

entity is presumed to exist when the Group owns, directly or indirectly through subsidiaries, over 50% of

the voting rights of the entity , the Group has the power to govern the operating and financial policies of

the entity through agreement or the Group has the power to appoint or remove the majority of the

members of the board of the entity. the Group's share of profit s and losses of associated companies is

included in the consolidated profit and loss account in accordance with the equity method of accounting.

An associated company is an entity over which the Group exerc ises significant influence.

Significant influence is generally presumed to exist when the Group owns, directly or indirectly

through subsidiaries, over 20% of the voting rights of the company.

All intercompany transactions are eliminated as part of the consolidation process . Minority interests

are presented separately in arriving at the net profit and they are shown as a component of shareholders'

equity in the consolidated balance sheet.

Profits realized in connection with the sale of fixed assets between the Group and associated

companies are eliminated in proportion to share ownership. Such profits are deducted from the Group's

equity and fixed assets and released in the Group accounts over the same period as depreciation is

charged.

The companies acquired during the financial periods presented have been consolidated from the date

on which control of the net assets and operations was transferred to the Group . Similarly the result of a

Group company divested during an accounting period is included in the Group accounts only to the date

of disposal.
