Revenues were somewhat higher in the first quarter of 2002 than in the same period in 2001. The increase is attributable to higher stock trading revenues and increased revenues from listing fees in the bond market.
Oslo Børs efforts in implementing the new trading system have not had major effects on first quarter earnings.
We expect to see positive effects of the Norex alliance arising from enhanced interest for the Norwegian market.
Despite uncertainty as to the activity levels and volatility in Oslo Børs markets, pre-tax profit for 2002 is expected to be in line with 2001 profit or somewhat better.
