agree  philgoddard: This is a rare instance where the word 'thereto' might be justified, to avoid the rather awkward repetition. Or you could say "and associated profits".

  -> The standard term is "attributable" so "associated to" is not an option. These are two balance sheet captions so it is best in my humble opinion to prioritise clarity and accuracy at the expense of eloquence.
