1 Mainly associated companies’ effect on Group net income, reduced by
dividends received.
2 Up to 2002, defined benefit plans for pensions in Volvo’s subsidiaries in the
United States were accounted for in accordance with US GAAP (SFAS 87).
In accordance with these rules, a minimum liability adjustment should be
charged to shareholders’ equity with an amount that corresponds to the
unfunded part of accrued benefit obligations less unrecognized prior service
costs. See further in Note 21.
3 Effective in 2003, Volvo adopted RR 29 Employee Benefits. See further in
Note 1.
