Significant differences between the Group’s and the Parent Company’s
accounting principles
e Parent Company follows the same accounting principles as the Group
with the following exceptions.
Business combinations
Transaction costs are included in the cost of business combinations.
Associated companies and joint ventures
Shares in associated companies and joint ventures are recognised by the Par-
ent Company according to the acquisition value method. Revenue includes
dividends received.
Intangible xed assets
All development costs are recognised in prot or loss.
Tangible xed assets
Tangible xed assets are recognised aer revaluation, if necessary. All leases
are recognised according to the rules for operating leasing.
Borrowing costs
e Parent Company recognises borrowing costs as an expense in the period
in which they arise.
Investment properties
Investment properties are recognised according to acquisition cost method.
Financial assets and liabilities and other nancial instruments
e Parent Company carries nancial xed assets at cost less impairment and
nancial current assets according to the lowest value principle. If the reason
for impairment has ceased, it is reversed.
e Parent Company does not apply the rules for setting o nancial
assets and liabilities.
Derivatives and hedge accounting
Derivatives that are not used for hedging are carried by the Parent Company
according to the lowest value principle. For derivatives used for hedging, rec-
ognition is determined by the hedged item. is means that the derivative is
treated as an o balance sheet item as long as the hedged item is recognised at
cost or is not included on the balance sheet. Receivables and liabilities in for-
eign currency hedged with forward contracts are valued at the forward rate.
Employee benets
e Parent Company complies with the provisions of the Law on Safeguarding
of Pension Commitments and the regulations of the Swedish Financial
Supervisory Authority, since this is a condition for tax deductibility.
Untaxed reserves
e amounts allocated to untaxed reserves constitute taxable temporary dif-
ferences. Due to the connection between reporting and taxation, the deferred
tax liability is recognised in the Parent Company as part of untaxed reserves.
Group contributions and shareholders’ contributions
Shareholders’ contributions are recognised directly in the equity of the recipi-
ent and capitalised in the shares and participating interests of the contributor,
to the extent impairment is not required.
Group contributions received and paid are recognised through prot or
loss in nancial income and expenses.
