(2) Capitalized software

Syngenta capitalized software costs in accordance with IAS 38 as from January 1, 2000. For US GAAP purposes, costs incurred in the development of software for internal use have been capitalized from January 1, 1999, the date on which Syngenta adopted the provisions of Statement of Position 98-1 “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use”. These costs were amortized over a three-year period. Under US GAAP, for the year ended December 31, 2002, related amortization would have exceeded the relevant capitalized software costs by US$3 million. There is no difference in amortization expense for 2003 or 2004.
