The net figure includes EUR 12 million in negative non-recurring effects recognised in the fourth quarter of 2008. Essentially, these were attributable to the EUR 7 million write-off of the investment in NY Credit Operating Partnership LP, plus further write-downs of investments and other assets in an aggregate amount or EUR 5 million. Nevertheless, the result posted is only EUR 3.8 million below HCI's earnings forecast: the Company had projected a range of EUR -9 million to EUR -13 million. Excluding these non-cash, non-recurring effects, which amounted to EUR -9.5 million during the fourth quarter (taking into account the offset provided through the related tax effects), HCI Group's consolidated net income after taxes was EUR -7.3 million, clearly outperforming the earnings forecast. HCI Capital AG will publish its annual report 2008 during a press conference to present the financial statements on 9 March 2009, as scheduled.
