22 Threats Increased inflation expectations ==) higher bond interest. Raw materials and freight price increases ==) increased inflation. High capacity utilisation in China ==) increased inflation. Tightening of China s monetary policy what about the currency? Increased real interest ==) higher bond interest. Increased risk premium (is at a low level especially in emerging markets). Slow down of economic upswing due to lower consumer demand in US. Margin pressure among several companies due to rising raw material costs. Higher energy prices (subdues global growth). Worse framework conditions for Norwegian businesses after General Election? Fear of tightening of US monetary policy (too high interest rate increases). USD going down the drain? Competition-distorting

23 Opportunities Better economic development than market s relatively low expectations Asia will continue to be driving force for global growth. New investment cycle within raw materials and energy many capacity ceilings have been reached. Strong likelihood of increase in prices where equity markets valuation of companies is lowest (Asia, Europe and South America). Liquidity driven equity market (low rate of return required). Institutional owners have small units of shares. Improvement in earnings in Increased activity within acquisitions/mergers. Moderate valuation of our portfolio companies.

24 Outlook 2005 Follows pattern of the 1980s and the 1990s first three years of turbulence, then strong reaction upwards, followed by a period where confidence in the share market slowly returns Higher uncertainty regarding economic outlook but possibilities for higher growth expectations throughout the year Still stimulus from China and emerging markets possible positive stimuli from Japan and Europe Slowing growth in the US gives improved global balances Moderate valuation of shares, low perception of risk and stable interest rate level forms basis of continued upwards revaluation throughout the year Corrections in the market spring resemble the corrections last year when interest expectations changed. After the correction last year strong economic expansion continued to be the topic this year it will be the revaluation of companies. Galloping energy prices now constitute a real risk to continuing economic growth. So far increasing base rates have been compensated for by falling bond rates.
