Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
4. Percentage of completion
Contract sales recognized under the cost-to-cost method of percentage of completion accounting
were approximately EUR 5.2 billion in 2004 (EUR 4.8 billion in 2003 and EUR 5.9 billion in 2002).
Billings in advance of contract revenues, included in prepaid income, were EUR 185 million at
December 31, 2004 (EUR 195 million in 2003 and 108 million in 2002). Contract revenues recorded
prior to billings, included in receivables, were EUR 80 million at December 31, 2004 (EUR 665
million in 2003 and EUR 573 million in 2002).
Revenue recognition on initial 3G network contracts started in 2002 when Nokia Networks
achieved 3G functionality for its single-mode and dual-mode WCDMA 3G systems. Until the time
3GPP specifications required by our customers were met, the application of the cost-to-cost input
model was deferred. Upon achieving 3G functionality for WCDMA network projects, the Group
began recognizing revenue under the cost-to-cost input method of percentage of completion
accounting and have continued to apply the method in 2003 and in 2004.
