(1)  The first quarter of 2003 included a net after-tax charge of $12 relating mainly to prior years' tax adjustments.

The second quarter of 2003 included net after-tax gains of $27 relating mainly to gains of $42 on the sale of non-core assets in Italy and the remaining portfolio investment in Nippon Light Metal Company, Ltd., partially offset by charges of $8 for closure of the Charlotte packaging plant and Bay St. Louis plant in the United States.

The third quarter of 2003 included a non-cash, after-tax charge of $24 relating mainly to the realization of deferred translation losses of $11 on the sale of a subsidiary in Thailand and charges of $7 for environmental provisions related to certain operations in the United States and Switzerland.

The fourth quarter of 2003 included a net after-tax gain of $53 relating mainly to one time favourable tax benefits of $85 arising principally from changes in Australian tax legislation, currency-related net gains of $57 on the financing of the Pechiney acquisition, gains on sales of assets in the U.K. of $6, a gain on the sale of an extrusions business in Malaysia of $4, and a favourable adjustment of $7 to previously recorded environmental provisions. These items were partially offset by purchase accounting adjustments related to in-process research and development of $50, goodwill impairment in the extrusions operations of $28, an environmental provision in the United States of $16, and the restructuring of a packaging operation in Switzerland of $8.

The first quarter of 2002 included net after-tax charges of $7 relating mainly to the restructuring program announced in 2001. The charges included a fixed asset impairment charge of $9 relating to the recycling operations at the Borgofranco plant in Italy and a loss of $5 on the sale of extrusions operations in Thailand. The second quarter of 2002 included net after-tax charges of $8 relating mainly to the restructuring program announced in 2001. The charges included severance and pension costs of $7 relating to the closure of the Bracebridge cable plant in Ontario, Canada. The third quarter of 2002 included net after-tax charges of $6 relating mainly to increases of $9 to legal provisions and net recoveries of $2 relating to the 2001 restructuring program principally arising from severance costs of $4 for the extrusions operations in Malaysia, light gauge operations in Fairmont, West Virginia, and certain cable operations in North America, and income of $8, primarily for the write-back of excess contract loss provisions. The fourth quarter of 2002 included net after-tax charges of $84 relating mainly to a provision of $68 for the ruling on a contract dispute with Powerex (a subsidiary of BC Hydro) and charges of $20 for the closures of the specialty chemicals plant at Burntisland, U.K. and the Banbury, U.K. R&D facilities. These charges were partially offset by a gain of $24 on the sale of a portfolio investment.

The first quarter of 2001 included after-tax charges for the impairment in value of fixed assets of $70 for Jamaica. The second quarter of 2001 included an after-tax charge of $17 principally comprised of $20 for post-closing adjustments relating to the divestment of Jamaica, partly offset by a write-back of restructuring costs of $4 in the U.K. The results for the fourth quarter of 2001 included a net after-tax charge of $444. This included a $78 charge related to the restructuring program announced on October 17, 2001, and a $22 charge related to the synergy program announced in the fourth quarter of 2000 in relation to the merger with algroup. Also included are impairment provisions of $186 in relation to certain assets and capitalized project costs, a $167 charge related to environmental provisions, and a favourable prior year's tax adjustment of $12.
