The DUTCH TAXONOMY PROJECT

The Dutch Government is currently working towards the large scale usage of XBRL for the electronic exchange of information between business and government bodies started as of 1 January 2007.

This project is being considered as producing the largest benefits of all projects in a government program aimed at reducing the administrative burden on companies with 25 percent.

Unique to this project is the close co-operations between the businesses and the government. In June 2006, this co-operation was formalized in a covenant. At this moment, the covenant has 84 covenant parties including the main organization representing industry and employer, including the small and medium businesses, organizations representing accountants and tax consultants as well as market leaders of software suppliers. February 2007 the Dutch Taxonomy Project released version 1.1 of the Dutch taxonomy which enables the electronic exchange of XBRL data regarding the obligatory filing of annual accountant, tax declarations and economic statistics of 600.000 businesses.

At this moment the use of XBRL is not mandatory. In 2007 the Dutch Government has started to see if XBRL can be used successful in other information supply chains where information need to be exchanged, like agriculture, healthcare and

education. The project also developed a first draft of an extension taxonomy which can be used by the banks to exchange information related to Basel 2. Another project is the simplification of the financial statements of SMEs’, which makes it easier to compilate financial statements using XBRL.

Several countries are interested in using the Dutch model. Australia already adopted the Dutch approach as it is also targeting for XBRL data flows.

More information about the project can be found at www.xbrl-ntp.nl/English.

FDIC PROJECT REPORT

Project Name: FFIEC Call Report Modernization Project

Country Name: United States

Taxonomy Development: Custom developed its own taxonomy due to undeveloped GAAP taxonomies and to solve its own unique business needs

Special points of interest: Created and extended the use of the formula link base used to validate data and to provide business rules

Contact Information: Jon Wisnieski, [email protected], 202-898-3846

FFIEC successfully implements XBRL into their data collection process

The introduction of XBRL for bank reporting in the United States has proved a major success. Approximately 8,000 banks have been filing quarterly “Call Report” data in XBRL since October 2005. Banking regulators, members of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council, say their Central Data Repository System (CDR), which utilizes XBRL, has provided major benefits in increased agility, earlier data accuracy, and greater process efficiency. U.S. banking regulators are evaluating whether XBRL may be applicable for internal

Page 8: PROGRESS REPORT€¦ · 15/05/2007  · Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME’s) to Large Companies”, XRL International conference planners and leaders will bring to conference

8

business processes and the reporting of other data series. This project has demonstrated the large scale viability of various XBRL features, including the use of complex formulae to validate data. It has also shown how software vendors unfamiliar with XBRL can successfully and profitably implement XBRL in their products.

Key features of the FFIEC’s use of XBRL

Collaboration between three banking regulators representing the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC) was successful in transforming the business process to collect quarterly financial data (Call Reports) from banks using XBRL.

Prior to the introduction of XBRL, Call Report information was provided in a variety of different formats, including PDF, MS Word, and MS Excel. Under the previous system, reporting banks and their supporting software vendors had to interpret the Call Report requirements which could be an inefficient and costly process.

In light of inefficiencies with the old process, the agencies turned to XBRL as a means to better manage and disseminate Call Report metadata to software vendors and banks.

The agencies redesigned the entire quarterly reporting process through the Call Report Modernization Project which took an open, collaborative approach and involved Call Report software vendors in the implementation of requirements.

The use of XBRL as the basis of the new CDR system provides the agencies with an efficient means of defining and communicating changes in the data required through changes in its taxonomy.

The new system makes extensive use of formulae expressed in XBRL files to enable submitting banks to validate their information, significantly reducing the number of errors.

The CDR receives information in XBRL Instance Documents and provides regulatory agencies and the public with efficient access to Call Report information.

Results

The agencies found the use of XBRL in their new Call Reporting process produced a range of measurable benefits as well as qualitative enhancements. The

new process provides accurate data more quickly, improving decision making, and has greatly reduced the effort involved in validation and related manual tasks, saving costs by boosting efficiency. It has improved business processes, providing a flexible and scalable system which is easier to manage, as well as delivering much stronger analytical capabilities. Key measurable benefits included:

Data quality—under the new XBRL system, 100% of bank filings met requirements for mathematical accuracy and 95% met other quality requirements. The comparative figures under the old system were 70% and 66%.

Faster data inflow—banks now begin filing within hours of the start of a filing period rather than weeks later. This reflects the fact that they are now able to respond to reporting requirements more quickly and ensure data accuracy more easily.

Increased productivity—FDIC analysts can now cover 550-600 banks compared with 450-500 previously, an increase in productivity of approximately 20%, reflecting improved data quality and analytical capability.

Faster data access—data is now available for use within a day of receipt, compared with several days under old, cumbersome validation processes. Quicker release enables faster and better informed decision-making by agencies and the public.

Improved control of reporting—XBRL enables changes in reporting requirements to be communicated and adjustments made by the reporting community within minutes or hours, compared with days or weeks under the old system which required significant manual intervention.

Next steps

The agencies are encouraged by the results of the CDR and XBRL to collect Call Report data and are evaluating the use of the CDR to collect other data series. A consistent and reliable flow of data will ultimately improve the financial collection and reporting processes within the FFIEC agencies. The agencies are communicating their experience with the CDR and XBRL through white papers and government briefings.

US GAAP Taxonomy Project Update

The Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) has contracted with XBRL US, Inc. to build out the US GAAP taxonomies. The contract was signed in March and has a completion date of Q4 2007. The Project Team is headquartered at the SEC offices in the World Financial Center, New York, NY and is comprised of XBRL US staff, the to six accounting firms and other important subject matter experts.

The Project Team is currently developing new content, creating a collaborative taxonomy development environment, and focusing on systems, personnel and processes to ensure full market participation and usability for an expected Q4 2007 completion. Recent highlights include:

XBRL US initiated a dialogue with the XBRL Working group of the CFA Institute, the preeminent global organization for financial analysts. Step one for this group will be to provide valuable insights into the general business requirements including the structure and element coverage. A kick-off meeting was held on April 26 where XBRL US was given the opportunity to present the plan. A detailed business requirements survey was delivered to the Working Group for their input.

A task force of SEC VFP (SEC Voluntary XBRL Filing Program) participants was organized with individuals from Pepsi, ENGlobal, e*Trade, South Financial Group, Pfizer, United Technologies, Ford Motor Credit and Ford Motor Company,

as well as 3M. During the kick-off call this week, the group was asked to provide the Project Team with their top issues in instance document creation and to also help out with education and outreach. The goal is to gather input for content integration and testing phases, but also to get their involvement in the education effort with a goal of expanding participation in the SEC VFP.

The Project Team is also working with the FAF/FASB to coordinate their GAAP review of the taxonomies.

The taxonomy management system, hosting vendor and issue tracking systems for the Project Team have been put in place for developing, reviewing and collecting feedback on the taxonomies.

To date the Project Team has involved over 70 people, mostly from the accounting industry, with input and support from the technology community and key stakeholders - public companies, financial analysts, etc.

Our goal is to build up a groundswell of support for the SEC VFP over the course of this year and have put programs in place to ramp up the general outreach including creating a series of webinars on how to get started in the SEC VFP, as well as outreach specific to key associations such as the CFA Institute, FEI (Financial Executives International), NIRI (National Investor Relations Institute), the AICPA, IMA and others. A Market Outreach Working Group has been established to coordinate these efforts.

XBRL International Steering Committee approves the XBRL Global Ledger Framework as an XBRL RECOMMENDATION

17 April 2007, The Global Ledger Framework is intended to enable the efficient handling of financial and business information contained within an organisation. It allows the representation of data found in charts of accounts, journal entries or historical transactions. It enables the data to be

Page 12: PROGRESS REPORT€¦ · 15/05/2007  · Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME’s) to Large Companies”, XRL International conference planners and leaders will bring to conference

12

gathered across disparate accounting systems, analysed and used efficiently and cost-effectively.

A description of the Global Ledger Framework is available at www.xbrl.org/GLTaxonomy/ and its files are at www.xbrl.org/GLFiles/.

XSB approves the granting of Acknowledged status to the IFRS-GP taxonomy effective 2007-01-24.

The IFRS-GP taxonomy is intended to allow profit-oriented entities to prepare XBRL-based financial statements according to IFRS. This includes, but is not limited to, consolidated publicly listed entities, parent entity financial statements, and non-consolidated entities.

XSB approves the granting of Acknowledged status to the Canadian taxonomy update effective 2007-01-24.

The Canadian taxonomy provides accounting terms that are used in general purpose financial statements that are prepared in accordance with Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. This taxonomy is an update of the previously acknowledged Canadian PFS Taxonomy of 2004-11-20 to incorporate changes in accounting standards in the intervening period and to improve documentation.

CANADA SECURITIES REGULATORS LAUNCH XBRL VOLUNTARY FILING PROGRAM

http://www.osc.gov.on.ca/Media/NewsReleases/2007/nr 20070119 csa-xbrl-launch.jsp

JANUARY 19, 2007, Toronto - The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) have launched an XBRL voluntary filing program. CSA Notice 51-323 XBRL filing program and request for volunteers outlines how issuers can voluntarily file financial statements in XBRL format. XBRL is a relatively new business reporting language that is emerging as an international standard for communicating business and financial data. The basic concept of XBRL is that it attaches standardized electronic “tags” to elements of information that provide information about what the item represents.

In 2006, the CSA conducted a survey to assess the awareness of XBRL in the marketplace and the interest in an XBRL filing program. “The feedback we received from the marketplace indicated that about half of the respondents have some understanding of XBRL and a significant number are in favour of an XBRL filing program,” said Jean St-Gelais, Chair of the CSA and President & Chief Executive Officer of the Autorité des marchés financiers (Québec). “With this voluntary filing program, we hope to increase the level of practical knowledge in the Canadian marketplace of this new technology and gain a greater understanding of the potential of XBRL.”

The XBRL filing will not replace the official PDF filing that is required by securities regulators, but will be additional information made available to the public through the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval (SEDAR) website.

“We invite issuers to join the voluntary filing program. We are committed to learning more about technologies that can help improve efficiency in our marketplace,” said St-Gelais.

CSA Notice 51-323 XBRL filing program and request for volunteers is available on the websites of several CSA members. Issuers interested in joining the voluntary filing program should contact one of the CSA staff members listed in the notice.

The CSA, the council of the securities regulators of Canada’s provinces and territories, co-ordinates and harmonizes regulation for the Canadian capital markets.

MICHAEL OHATA OF MICROSOFT ELECTED CHAIRMAN OF XBRL INTERNATIONAL STEERING COMMITTEE

18 December 2006, Michael Ohata, Senior Director of Reporting Standards for Microsoft Finance, has been ratified as the new Chair of the International Steering Committee (ISC) of XBRL International (XII) with effect from 6 December 2006.

He takes over from Kurt Ramin, XBRL Team Leader at the International Accounting Standards Committee Foundation (IASCF), who is retiring as chair after serving the maximum term.

Mr Ohata was previously Chair of the XBRL International Standards Board (XSB), which is charged with managing the production of XII technical materials and strengthening their quality. He took a leading role in helping to set up the XSB in March 2006 and driving forward its initial work, including the establishment of a roadmap setting out main XII technical activities and priorities.

The XBRL International Steering Committee governs XII. It has similar authority and powers to a Board of Directors at a normal company.

“The International Steering Committee is keenly aware that there has been broad geographic adoption of XBRL, especially by regulators who are working to standardize reporting technologies,” said Mr Ohata. “The committee and I are dedicated to ensuring that XBRL International functions as a predictable and professional financial reporting standards organization. In the coming year we will continue to focus on various XBRL implementation projects helping to bring the widespread adoption of XBRL standards closer to a reality.”

John Turner, Chief Executive of CoreFiling, takes over from Mr Ohata as XSB Chair. Mr Turner has long

experience in XBRL projects and is an existing member of both the XSB and ISC.

CHARLIE HOFFMAN RECIEVES AWARD OF PIONEERING XBRL

14 December 2006, Charlie Hoffman, who conceived the idea of XBRL, has received the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants' (AICPA) Special Recognition Award for his pioneering work in proposing and helping to develop the language.

Mr Hoffman, currently Director of Industry Solutions-Financial Reporting at UBmatrix, started investigating how XML could be used for electronic reporting of financial information in 1998 while working as a CPA with the firm Knight Vale and Gregory in Tacoma, Washington. He proposed the idea to the AICPA High Tech Task Force and eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) was born.

Mr Hoffman and other accounting and technical experts worked together on initial prototypes and business plans for XBRL under the auspices of the AICPA. Since the creation of the XBRL International (XII) consortium, he has continued to play a leading role in helping to develop and promote the standard. As well as serving on key XBRL working groups and being formally recognised as a contributor to the XBRL Specification and other XII technical documents, Mr Hoffman has published a number of books on XBRL and travelled widely to explain the benefits of the language.

“Charlie has lived and breathed XBRL since the late 1990s and truly deserves this recognition," said Sunir Kapoor, UBmatrix President and CEO. "The endorsement the AICPA award represents is noteworthy, both in terms of Charlie's efforts, and to XBRL as a game-changing technology. The accounting profession - indeed business reporting in general - will never be the same."

Accepting the award, Mr Hoffman emphasised the teamwork which was contributing to the success of XBRL.

"People call me 'the father of XBRL', but I like to refer to myself as the guy who did the obvious. I

Page 14: PROGRESS REPORT€¦ · 15/05/2007  · Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME’s) to Large Companies”, XRL International conference planners and leaders will bring to conference

14

was in the right place at the right time, with the right set of skills," he said.

XBRL Jurisdiction Reports

XBRL is growing quickly around the world with increasing participation from individual countries and international organisations. XBRL International is comprised of jurisdictions which represent countries, regions or international bodies and which focus on the progress of XBRL in their area

The consortium is comprised of over 500 companies, associations, and agencies in 22 jurisdictions worldwide along with increasing activity in working together to build the XBRL language and promote and support its adoption. XII welcomes Luxembourg and Italy who were approved as Provisional Jurisdictions First Quarter of 2007. (Italy was approved after final production deadlines for this report)

ESTABLISHED JURISDICTIONS

AUSTRALIA

The main activity in Australia has been on the taxonomy development and transitioning the jurisdiction from its start up and development phase. Much of the awareness battle has been won and Australia now looks to the new challenges of maintaining the momentum as XBRL takes hold with new business models, skill sets and resources. The Board has investigated the options in this regard and will report in the very near future on a plan to take XBRL Australia forward.

BELGIUM

XBRL Belgium became an Established Jurisdiction on 15 July 2006 and is still hosted by the National Bank of Belgium.

Projects

The Belgian jurisdiction continues to make progress on XBRL development and adoption, particularly in the regulators' environment.

The National Bank of Belgium is involved in two important projects:

The final version of the Belgian taxonomy be-fr-pfs-ci-2006-10-01 was published in October 2006. This taxonomy is based on the Belgian GAAP and will be used by non-financial companies for the drawing up of their statutory annual accounts to be filed with the National Bank (Central Balance Sheet Office - CBSO) in the form of XBRL-instance documents as from April 2007. It will be totally transparent for the final user through the use of an Internet application "free of charge" allowing him to fill in and to validate its annual accounts before filing it.

The National Bank of Belgium and the Banking, Finance and Insurance Commission (BFIC) has developed a Belgian taxonomy, reflecting the national regulatory IFRS reporting scheme. The taxonomy was created as an extension of the IFRS taxonomy of the IASCF and has been used since January 2006 for the consolidated regulatory reporting of credit institutions. The first reports were received in June 2006.

People from National Bank of Belgium and from BFIC(CBFA) are also deeply involved in the FINREP and COREP projects.

The Directorate-general Statistics and Economic information (former National Institute for Statistics) is currently involved in a study to develop an XBRL application allowing companies to fill in surveys about their structure, using data from annual accounts. This project is linked with Eurostat and is due to be finalized this year.

CANADA

The Investment Dealers Association of Canada has recommended a new regulatory reporting system which would be totally electronic, using XBRL and based on a "access equals delivery" model. The Canadian acknowledged taxonomy for primary financial statements was updated and released in 2006 and formally re-acknowledged inclusive of ) early 2007. (See highlights section of the report

GERMANY

April 30, 2007

Bundesanzeiger (the German public register for company information including annual reports) started their new procedure of electronic filing. Beginning January 2007, they are accepting XBRL reports based on either German GAAP or IFRS taxonomy. In fact, XBRL is the favoured input format, which is promoted by low fees.

XBRL Germany launched a new release of the German GAAP taxonomy in December 2006 in order to update the prior version in terms of content and to enhance it in technical matters. This taxonomy is representing the German set of relevant regulations (German Commercial Code / “Handelsgesetzbuch” along with other laws and rules), which are mandatory for all German business entities (irrespective of IFRS being compulsory in certain cases as well).

Current version of taxonomy German GAAP being completed, XBRL Germany started a new project to supplement such taxonomy with a module specifically designed for financial reports of financial institutions in Germany. In addition to the general rules of recognition and measurement according to the German Commercial Code, banks have to comply with more specific regulations to present and structure their figures when disclosing them.

A new book about XBRL (in German) written by Norbert Flickinger was published in May 2007. The volume is titled “XBRL in der betrieblichen Praxis” (“XBRL in business practice”) and is focussing on non-technical people that want to understand XBRL and desire guidance for practising XBRL either as preparer, consumer, or service provider. Kurt Ramin and the Board of XBRL Germany supported the work by contributing prefaces and opening remarks.

NETHERLANDS Spring 2007 XBRL Netherlands membership reached 54 companies.

Highlights in the Netherlands are:

The most important XBRL-project in the Netherlands is the Dutch Taxonomy Project lead by the Dutch Government with the support of many organizations, including XBRL Netherlands. The main objective is to reduce the administrative expenses of companies by implementing the electronic filing of financial, tax and statistical statements for all companies (about 600.000) in 2007. The savings for businesses are estimated at 350 million Euros per year.

The Dutch Taxonomy is being developed and maintained by the Dutch Government and contains the XBRL data-elements to support the electronic filing of the yearly financial statements, corporate tax filings and statistical information. The Dutch taxonomy version 1.1 is released February 2007.

On June 9 2006, the Dutch Government and about 66 organizations signed a XBRL Covenant. They agreed on maintaining the Dutch taxonomy, implementing the infrastructure for electronic filing and taking the necessary steps to support delivery of XBRL in 2007. About 80 organizations have signed the Covenant up till now, including the two main trade organizations VNO-NCW and MKB Nederland.

The Dutch Government also started to develop an extension on the Dutch Taxonomy to be used by the financial services for credit risk filings (based on Basel II).

The Dutch Central Bank is able to receive XBRL-filings (CEBS-project).

The infrastructure for electronic filing of financial statements and tax filings based on XBRL is available.

Early January 2007 the first financial statements based on XBRL were filed at the Chambers of Commerce

At this moment XBRL Netherlands and several members like Royal NIVRA and audit firms organize conferences, meetings and training

session, to provide the information needed for implementation and adoption of XBRL.

.The Dutch Government is supporting the XBRL project initiated by the Governments of Australia and New Zealand

More information about this project and the Dutch taxonomy can be found in the report ”Functionality and possibilities of the Dutch taxonomy”, including “Reducing administrative burdens through standardization”. www.xbrl-ntp.nl

XBRL Spain Taxonomies 2006

UK

Effort in the XBRL UK jurisdiction is centred on supporting the projects by the companies regulator, Companies House, and tax authority, HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), to introduce filing in XBRL. Companies House is already receiving large numbers of accounts from small companies in XBRL using an extension to the UK GAAP taxonomy, while HMRC has begun receiving Corporation Tax submissions in XBRL. The government plans to make XBRL mandatory for filing of tax returns, including accounts, by all companies from March 2011.

XBRL UK released new versions of the UK GAAP and Common Data taxonomies on 1 March for trial use and public review. The taxonomies provide a basis to enable all companies reporting under UK GAAP to publish their accounts in XBRL. The taxonomies have Public Working Draft status and are available at http://www.xbrl.org/uk/Taxonomies/. The new versions reflect feedback from early use and detailed reviews of previous versions. The GAAP taxonomy reflects the latest XBRL design developments, including the release of the Dimensions Specification. It makes use of dimensions to reflect a number of ways in which companies report data.

The Common Data taxonomy is an extension of the Global Common Data taxonomy released by XBRL International.

The jurisdiction has begun a programme of information and support for software vendors planning to implement XBRL reporting in their financial reporting products. It held a seminar for these vendors and is producing a range of explanatory documentation. It will continue to develop the UK GAAP taxonomy in the light of requirements and evolving regulations and will also be providing a UK extension of the IFRS taxonomy to serve listed companies.

UNITED STATES

XBRL US Develops Professional Staff and Kicks Off the SEC US GAAP Project

XBRL US spun off from the AICPA in Fall 2006 and became a separate nonprofit 501© 6. The XBRL US Steering Committee hired Mark Bolgiano as its new President and CEO and Mark subsequently brought in a senior management staff of VP, Domain and Taxonomies, VP, Online Strategies and VP, Adoption and Communication. A very active interim Board is in place helping to move the new organization forward:

Al Berkeley, Pipeline Trading, formerly President, The NASDAQ Stock Market

Greg Hayes, CFO, United Technologies

Barry Melancon, President and CEO, AICPA

The new team kicked off its first major project when they signed a $5.5 million contract with the SEC to build out the US GAAP taxonomies with a project due date of Q4 2007. The project goal is to create commercial grade taxonomies that will allow any public company to file their Primary Financial Statements and their Notes to the Financials to the SEC. The Project Team, headed by Rob Blake, new VP, Domain and Taxonomies, is taking a collaborative approach to the development, engaging key audiences, e.g., software providers, public company preparers and analysts in the Content Integration & Review, Alpha and Beta testing phases.

The year one goals of the new organization are to:

Complete the US GAAP project using a collaborative process and meeting the deadline.

Create a taxonomy development framework and adoption process which can be replicated across other taxonomies in both the public and private sector.

Establish a Founders Council that will help fund and provide strategic direction for the new consortium.

Nominate and elect a permanent Board.

Initiate the first Annual Meeting featuring member strategy sessions, a public

education day as well as a Founders Council and Board member meeting.

Public Sector Activities Continue Strong

The Public Sector Adoption Working Group started off the year with a number of important events designed to educate and build awareness among government agencies and the vendors that work with them:

A Public Sector conference, hosted by the FDIC to be held on May 8, featuring keynote speakers Peter Wallison of The American Enterprise Institute and Carl Moravitz, IBM Global Business Solutions.

A sold-out educational webcast series, co-sponsored with the Association of Government Accountants (AGA).

An ongoing dialogue with the vendors that work with AGA – a meeting series jointly sponsored by the AGA with a goal of bringing these software vendors and consultants into the XBRL community.

Better Banking Data Using XBRL Available Online

The Comptroller of the Currency announced that US federal banking agencies will provide improved web site access to bank call report data using the XBRL Central Data Repository (CDR). Call report data will now be available in multiple formats, including PDF, text and XBRL and will be available much faster than before. The new web site is expected to be more cost efficient as some manual processing has been eliminated.

XRBL Luxembourg, beside its promoting initiatives and recruiting of new members, is supporting the first implementations of XBRL based reports, especially within the financial sectors, where banks will submit from January 2008, XBRL based COREP and FINREP-reports to the financial sector’s supervisory authority the CSSF.

Other projects are soon to be launched by the Central Bank of Luxembourg which will undertake a modernisation of its reporting channels as well as by Statec – the Central Service for Statistics and Economic Studies.

XBRL Luxembourg is not limiting its action to the promotion of XBRL as such, but is standardising the whole reporting chain encompassing security issues which are of paramount importance. In order to meet these objectives, XBRL Luxembourg is collaborating with Luxtrust – the Luxembourg PKI service provider - and the Luxembourg standardisation authority.

POLAND

Marketing and Communication: During its first year of activity as a provisional jurisdiction, association “XBRL Polska” has concentrated on creating awareness of XBRL technology. One of the main actions in this area was co-organization (together with the National Bank of Poland and the Polish Bank Association) the XBRL seminar, where more than 100 representatives of Polish banks learned about XBRL implementation projects in Spanish, French and Belgian banking sector. Another seminar organized jointly by the Warsaw Stock Exchange, the Association of Stock Exchange Issuers and the Polish XBRL jurisdiction is about to take place in May 2007. This event shall start a public debate on the standardization of the reporting process on the

capital market including listed companies, investment and insurance companies.

Taxonomy development: The first part of Polish GAAP taxonomy, which includes complete explanatory disclosures for non-financial institutions, is planned for release later in 2007.

For last 12 months the National Bank of Poland has been developing Polish extension of COREP and FINREP taxonomies. In the second half of 2007, both taxonomies will be implemented as obligatory reporting format for banking supervisory purposes.

Membership growth: Number of members has risen from eleven in April 2006 to seventeen in January 2007. Important signal to the capital market was joining the jurisdiction by the Warsaw Stock Exchange, the Board of which announced its willingness of active contribution in standardization of reporting processes,

XBRL Sweden continues to make progress on their XBRL taxonomy development and adoption.

16 April 2007 The Swedish Companies Registration Office, Bolagsverket and XBRL Sweden released two new Public Working Drafts of taxonomies: one for small to mid-size companies (se-smp) and one for the Swedish audit report (se-ar). The taxonomies have been developed in a project within Bolagsverket with assistance from members of XBRL Sweden and are a result of a major revision of the two taxonomies released in July 2006.

The two earlier versions of the taxonomies, launched in July 2006, are still being used for reporting financial statements to Bolagsverket but will be replaced with the new taxonomies in the fall 2007.

XBRL Sweden currently has 22 members, with three of those being the largest software companies in Sweden: Hogia, Norstedts Juridik and VismaSpcs.

XBRL Sweden has two working groups operating: Domain Working Group and Marketing & Communication
