2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
Income Recognition and Investment Valuation
Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recognized on the accrual basis.
The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its investments which consists of the realized gains and losses and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those investments.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. While the adoption of SFAS 157 does not have a material effect on the Fund’s net asset value, it does require additional disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 establishes a three-level hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of the fund’s investments. The three levels are defined as follows:
| Level 1 – | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the Plan as the ability to access. |
| Level 2 – | Inputs to the valuation methodology include: |
| · | Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; |
| · | Quoted market prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets; |
| · | Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; |
| · | Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means. |
If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must by observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
| Level 3 – | Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement. |
The asset's or liability's fair value measurement level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for assets measured at fair value. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2008 and 2007.
Investments in Nokia American Depository Shares (Nokia ADR shares) and common stocks are valued at quoted market prices on the last business day of the year. Mutual funds are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. Participant loans consist of the outstanding principal of loans to participants at December 31, 2008 and 2007, which approximates fair value.

Notes to Financial Statements
The Fidelity Managed Income Portfolio II Fund invests primarily in investment contracts, including guaranteed and security-backed investment contracts. As required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Staff Position AAG INV-1 and Statement of Position No. 94-4-1, "Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and Pension Plans" investment contracts held by a defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value. However, the contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the Plan. As a result, the Statement of Net Assets Available for Benefits presents the fair value of the investment contracts as well as the adjustment of the fully benefit-responsive investment contracts from fair value to contract value. The Statement of Changes in Net Assets Available for Benefits is prepared on a contract value basis. Fair value of the investment contracts is determined by the fund manager or the fair value of the fund’s investments in externally managed stable value commingled investment funds provided to the fund by external managers of these funds. Contract value consists of the book value, or cost plus accrued interest, of the underlying investment contracts. In the opinion of management, the difference between contract value and fair value for the Plan's investment contract was not material during 2007.
The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of net realizable value or reflective of future fair values. Furthermore, while the Plan believes its valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with other market participants, the use of different methodologies or assumptions to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a difference fair value measurement at reporting date.
The following table sets forth by level, within the fair value hierarchy, the Plan's assets at fair value as of December 31, 2008:

Notes to Financial Statements
Risks and Uncertainties
The Plan invests in various investment securities. Investment securities are exposed to various risks such as interest rate, market and credit risks. Due to the level of risk associated with certain investment securities, it is at least reasonably possible that changes in the values of investment securities will continue to occur in the near term and that such changes could materially affect participants’ account balances and the amounts reported in the statement of net assets available for benefits.
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Plan to concentrations of credit risk consist of the Plan’s investments and contributions receivable.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Benefits
Benefit distributions to participants are recorded when paid.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the December 31, 2007 amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
