months to 31 December of CHF7.5bn ($7.7bn), compared with a net
loss of CHF2.1bn in the prior fiscal.

The bank said that the improved performance
resulted from reduced expenses for credit losses, an increase in
trading income as well as a goodwill impairment charge in fiscal
2009.

UBS had total assets of CHF1.3tr at year-end
2010, down 1.7% from the previous year.
