The unrealized losses recognized directly in Equity are considered to be temporary on the basis that the investments are intended to be held for a period of time sufficient to recover their cost, and UBS believes that the evidence indicating that the cost of the investments should be recoverable within a reasonable period of time outweighs the evidence to the contrary. Factors considered include the nature of the investments, valuations and research undertaken by UBS, the current outlook for each investment, offers under negotiation at favorable prices and the duration of the unrealized losses.

The following table shows the duration of unrealized losses recognized directly in Equity in 2006 and 2005:
