| 2 | We calculate this adjusted measure of our return on average total shareholders’ equity to make it easier to compare us to our competitors. We refer to this adjusted measure as our “return on average active equity”. However, this is not a measure of performance under U.S. GAAP and you should not compare our ratio to other companies’ ratios without considering the differences in calculation of the ratios. The item for which we adjust the average shareholders’ equity of € 28,940 million for 2003 and € 36,789 million for 2002 are the average unrealized net gains on securities available for sale , net of applicable tax effects of € 810 million for 2003 and € 4,842 million for 2002 and the average dividends of € 756 million for 2003 and € 701 million for 2002. The dividend is paid once a year following its approval by the general shareholders’ meeting. | |
