In a meeting held today and chaired by Mr. Fabrizio Rindi, the Board of Directors of Aurora Assicurazioni S.p.A. (Unipol Group) approved the draft accounts for the financial year 2004 and the board report.

Given the incorporation during 2004 of Meieaurora S.p.A. and Winterthur Vita S.p.A. into Aurora Assicurazioni S.p.A. (former Winterthur Assicurazioni S.p.A.), to compare 2004 core business figures in a more accurate and homogeneous way with 2003 figures, pro forma accounts were prepared by aggregating the accounts of merged companies.

The net profit for the year was €145.3m (€130.0m as at 31.12.2003).
