   Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such 
forward-looking statements are reasonable, these forward-looking

their nature, involve risk and uncertainty. Various factors could cause 
our actual results to differ materially from those projected in a

projection is realized. Factors that could cause these differences 
include, but are not limited to: our continued ability to reposition and 
restructure our upstream and downstream aluminium business; changes in 
availability and cost of energy and raw materials; global supply and 
demand for aluminium and aluminium products; world economic growth, 
including rates of inflation and industrial production; changes in the 
relative value of currencies and the value of commodity contracts; 
trends in Hydro's key markets and competition; and legislative, 
regulatory and political factors. 
 
   No assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have been 
correct. Hydro disclaims any obligation to update or revise any forward 
looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future 
events or otherwise.
