*SAX (Slovak  Share  Index)  is  the  official index of Bratislava Stock
Exchange.  It  is  a  capital-weighted  index  that  compares the market
capitalization   of   a   selected   set   of  shares  with  the  market
capitalization  of  the  same set of shares as of a given reference day.
The SAX  index  reflects  an  overall change of assets connected with an
investment  in  shares  that are included in the index. This means that,
besides  fluctuations  in  prices,  the  index  also  includes  dividend
payments  and  revenues  connected  with changes of share capital amount
(that is,  the  difference  between  current  market price and the issue
price of new shares).
The initial  value of the SAX index - 100 points - was set September 14,
1993. The  index  reflects  development  only  on the BSSE, and has been
based to date on the average prices stated in the price lists.
*SDX (Slovak  Bond Index) is a bond market indicator of Bratislava Stock
Exchange. It was introduced on October 1, 1996.
The SDX  index  has  two components. The first component is comprised of
government  bonds;  the  second  one is comprised of company (corporate)
bonds.
It is calculated  to  a  cumulative  formula comprising both the capital
changes  (prices)  and  interest  changes  (all-quote interest yield and
coupon payments)  as  the  most  suitable  one  for the index. The index
represents  the  value of SKK 100 invested in the index portfolio at the
beginning  of  trading.  The  value of the index increases together with
increasing  accumulated  interest  yield,  and  increases  or  decreases
together with the movement of prices in the market. Individual issues in
the index  portfolio  are  assigned  weights  proportional  to the total
amount of  the  issue.  A  six-month  limit prior to the day of a bond's
maturity is set for the exclusion of an issue from the index.
