         This presentation contains forward-looking statements that are based on the
         current expectations of the management of SKF.
         Although management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-
         looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such
         expectations will prove to have been correct. Accordingly, results could differ
         materially from those implied in the forward-looking statements as a result of,
         among other factors, changes in economic, market and competitive conditions,
         changes in the regulatory environment and other government actions, fluctuations
         in exchange rates and other factors mentioned in SKF's latest annual report
         (available on www.skf.com) under the Administration Report; “Important factors
         influencing the financial results", "Financial risks" and "Sensitivity analysis”.
