With effect from first quarter 2007, Industrial Holdings is now reported in Corporate Center. The pre-tax gain for first quarter 2008 stood at CHF 3,947 million from continuing operations - primarily due to a one-time accounting gain of CHF 3,860 million related to the issue of mandatory convertible notes on 5 March 2008. Profit from discontinued operations was CHF 120 million, related to the sale of the last fully consolidated operating company in the private equity portfolio.
