Independent Auditors Report
The Board of Directors and shareholders
Sefina Finance AB:
Sefina Finance AB:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Sefina Finance AB (the Company)
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010, and the related consolidated statement of comprehensive
income, changes in shareholders equity and cash flows for the year then ended. These consolidated
financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to
express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an
opinion on the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting.
Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for
our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2010, and the results
of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2010, in conformity with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the IASB.

Reg. no 556747-0710
Notes to the financial statements
Note 1 Basis of preparation
(a) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRSs) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and
interpretations of International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).
(b) Basis of measurement
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis.
(c) Functional and presentation currency
The parent companys functional currency is Swedish kronor, which is also the reporting currency of
the Parent company and group. This means that the financial statements are presented in Swedish
kronor. All amounts, unless otherwise indicated, are rounded to the nearest thousand.
(d) Use of estimates and judgements
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires
management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting
policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may
differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting
estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods
affected.
Information about critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most
significant effect on the amounts recognised in the consolidated financial statements is included
in note 24.
(e) Significant accounting policies
The accounting policies set out below have been applied consistently to all periods presented in
these consolidated financial statements.
(f) New standards and interpretations not adopted
A number of new standards, amendments to standards and interpretations are effective for annual
periods beginning after 1 January 2010, and have not been applied in preparing these consolidated
financial statements. None of these is expected to have a significant effect on the consolidated
financial statements of the Group, except for IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, which becomes mandatory
for the Groups 2013 consolidated financial statements and could change the classification and
measurement of financial assets. The Group does not plan to adopt this standard early and the
extent of the impact has not been determined.
(g) | Classification etc. |
Non-current assets and liabilities consist of amounts expected to be recovered or settled more than
twelve months from the balance sheet date. Current assets and current liabilities consist of
amounts expected to be recovered or settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date.
(h) | Segment reporting |
In accordance with the exemption in IFRS Segment reporting information on segment reporting is not
given.
(i) Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities over which Sefina Finance AB has the controlling influence. Controlling
influence means, directly or indirectly, the right to govern the financial and operating policies
so as to obtain financial benefits. In assessing whether controlling influence exists, potential
voting rights that can be utilized or converted are considered.
6
Sefina Finance AB Financial statements 2010
Reg. no 556747-0710
Reg. no 556747-0710
Subsidiaries are accounted for under the purchase method. The method involves that the acquisition
of a subsidiary is treated as a transaction in which the group indirectly acquires the assets and
take over the liabilities and contingent liabilities. The groups cost is determined through an
acquisition analysis in connection with the acquisition. The analysis determines the cost of the
shares or the business, the fair value at the acquisition date of acquired identifiable assets,
liabilities and contingent liabilities.
The cost of shares or business is the sum of the fair values at the acquisition date of assets
given, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued as consideration in exchange
for the net assets acquired and transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition. In
acquisitions where the cost exceeds the fair value of assets acquired and assumed liabilities and
contingent liabilities reported separately, the difference is recognised as goodwill. A negative
difference is recognised directly in profit for the year.
Financial statements of subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition until the
date that controlling influence ceases.
Transactions eliminated on consolidation
Intercompany receivables and liabilities, revenues and expenses and unrealized gains or losses
arising from intercompany transactions between group companies are eliminated in full in preparing
the consolidated financial statements.
(j) Foreign currency
Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of group
entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Functional currency is the currency of
the primary economic environment the company operates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated
in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate
prevailing on the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising on translation are recognised in
profit for the year. Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at historical cost are translated
at transaction date. Non-monetary assets and liabilities carried at fair value are translated into
the functional currency at the rate prevailing at the time of the fair value measurement.
Foreign operations
Assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and other surplus and deficit
values of subsidiaries, are translated from the foreign operations functional currency to the
groups reporting currency, Swedish kronor, to the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet
date. Revenues and expenses of foreign operations are translated to Swedish kronor at an average
rate that approximates the exchange rates in existence at the date of each transaction. Exchange
differences arising on translation of foreign operations are recognised in other comprehensive
income and accumulated in a separate component of equity, called the translation reserve. On
disposal of foreign operations the related cumulative translation differences are realized, in
which case they are reclassified from the translation reserve in equity to profit for the year.
(k) Revenues
The Companys business consists of lending to private customers with collateral in the form of
personal property (pledge), which is transmitted by the client and stored and cared for by the
company. Revenues consist primarily of interest and fees. In the event the customer does not repay
the amount lent plus interest and fees, the company owns the right to sell the personal property
(pledge) at auction. Items not sold to a third party at auction are acquired by the company and
can then be sold to a third party either as sales of used objects in own stores or as molten gold.
Income is accrued on a monthly basis over the term of the loan. When the customer does not follow
their payments and the company prepares to sell the items at auction accrued interest and fees are
derecognised
while the principal amount is kept unadjusted in the accounts. After completion of the auction
reported sales amounts in excess of principal amount is accounted for as revenue. Amounts in excess
of the principal amount including interest and fees, so-called surplus, are allocated to the
customer. Amounts less than the principal amount is reported as cost and the customer does not
repay the deficiency. Revenues from sales of goods in stores or as molten gold are recognised when
the third party sales have taken place.
7
Sefina Finance AB Financial statements 2010
Reg. no 556747-0710
Reg. no 556747-0710
(l) Leases
Operating leases
Payments made under operating leases are recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over
the term of the lease. Lease incentives received are recognised as an integral part of the total
lease expense, over the term of the lease. Variable costs are recognised in the periods they arise.
(m) | Finance income and finance costs |
Financial income includes interest income on funds invested.
Interest income and interest expense on financial instruments are recognised using the effective
interest method. This does not apply to assets with short maturities.
Financial expenses consist of interest charges on loans.
Exchange gains and losses are reported net.
The effective rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts
during a financial instruments expected term of the financial asset or liabilitys net worth. The
calculation includes all fees paid or received by the contractors who are part of the effective
interest rate, transaction costs and all other premiums or discounts.
(n) | Income tax |
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax is recognised
in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity or in
other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year,
using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax
payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax is not recognised for:
| temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss; | ||
| temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. |
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences
when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the
reporting date.
A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary
differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available
against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no
longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realized.
Any additional income tax arising on dividends are reported at the same time as the dividend is
reported as a liability.
(o) Financial instruments
Financial instruments recognised in the statement of financial position include cash and cash
equivalents, pawn loan receivables, trade receivables and receivables from group companies.
Liabilities include accounts payable, borrowings and liabilities to group companies.
Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments in the statement of financial
position
A financial asset or financial liability is recognised in the statement of financial position when
the company is party in accordance with the contractual terms. Loan receivables are included in the
statement of financial position when the loan has been paid out to the customer. A liability is
recognised when the counterparty has a
contractual obligation to pay, even if the invoice has not yet been received. Accounts payable are
recorded when an invoice is received.
8
Sefina Finance AB Financial statements 2010
Reg. no 556747-0710
Reg. no 556747-0710
A financial asset is removed from the statement of financial position when the rights are realized,
expire or the company loses control over them. The same applies to parts of a financial asset. A
financial liability is removed from the statement of financial position when the contractual
obligation is fulfilled or otherwise discharged. The same applies to parts of a financial
liability.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of
financial position when, and only when, the group has a legal right to offset the amounts and
intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability
simultaneously.
Acquisitions and disposals of financial assets are recognised on trade date, which is the date the
company commits to purchase or sell the asset.
Classification and valuation
Financial instruments are initially recognised at cost equivalent to the fair value. A financial
instrument is classified at initial recognition based on the purpose it was acquired. The
classification determines how the financial instrument is measured after initial recognition, as
described below.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and immediately available cash balances with banks and
similar institutions.
Pawn loan receivables
Pawn loan receivables are financial assets with a maximum maturity of 120 days. Pawn loan
receivables are carried at cost, after deductions for bad debts.
Other financial liabilities
Loans and other financial liabilities, such as accounts payable, are included in this category. The
liabilities are valued at amortized cost.
The categories in which the groups financial assets and liabilities are assigned are stated in the
note Financial risks and financial policies. The presentation of financial income and expenses are
also dealt with under section (m) above.
(p) Property, plant and equipment
Owned assets
Tangible fixed assets are reported at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment
losses. Cost includes purchase price and costs directly attributable to the asset to put it in
place and in condition to be used in accordance with the purpose of the acquisition.
The carrying value of property, plant and equipment is removed from the statement of financial
position on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from the use. Gains or losses
arising on the disposal of an asset is the difference between the assets carrying value and sales
value, direct selling costs deducted. Gains and losses are reported as other operating income /
expense.
Subsequent costs
Subsequent costs are capitalized only if it is probable that future economic benefits associated
with the asset will flow to the company and the cost can be measured reliably. All other subsequent
costs are recognised in profit or loss in the period they arise.
Depreciation
Depreciation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment. The estimated useful lives
are:
| equipment 5 years |
Depreciation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and
adjusted if appropriate.

Sefina Finance AB Financial statements 2010
Reg. no 556747-0710
Reg. no 556747-0710
(q) Intangible assets
Goodwill
Goodwill that arises upon the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets.
Goodwill is allocated to cash generating units and tested at least annually for impairment (see
accounting policy (s)).
Other intangible assets
Other intangible assets acquired by the group consist of customer relationships and trademarks and
are carried at fair value at the date of acquisition less accumulated amortisation (see below) and
impairment losses (see accounting policy (s)).
Subsequent costs
Subsequent expenditure on capitalized intangible assets is recorded as an asset in the statement of
financial position only when it increases the future economic benefits of the specific asset to
which they relate. All other expenditure is recognised in profit or loss as incurred.
Amortisation
Amortisation is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
lives of intangible assets. Goodwill and trademarks with indefinite useful lives are tested for
impairment annually and as soon as there are indications that the asset has lost value. Intangible
assets with determinable useful lives are amortized from the date they are made available for use.
The estimated useful lives are as follows:
| Customer relationships 6 years |
(r) | Inventories |
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or market, less expected costs to sell. In cases
where the customers not repay the loan, the personal property (pledge) is sold at auction. In
most cases, the group monitors the objects by issuing a minimum bid. The implication is that the
group acquires parts of the personal property (pledge) and sells them in own stores or as molten
gold. The purpose of this is to recycle as much as possible of the groups claims. Personal
property (pledge) becomes inventories at the day of acquisition at auctions.
(s) | Impairments |
The groups reported assets are estimated at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is
any indication of impairment. IAS 36 is applied for impairment of assets other than financial
assets accounted for under IAS 39, inventories and deferred tax assets. For exempt assets as
described above the carrying value is assessed under each standard.
Impairment of tangible and intangible assets
If indications of impairment exist, the assets recoverable amount (see below) is calculated in
accordance with IAS 36. For goodwill and trademarks with indefinite useful life the recoverable
amount is also assessed on an annual basis. If it is not possible to establish independent cash
flows for an individual asset, and its fair value less sales costs cannot be used, the assets shall
in performing an impairment test be grouped at the lowest level where essentially independent cash
flows can be established a so-called cash-generating unit (CGU).
An impairment loss is recognised when an asset or cash-generating unit (group of CGUs) carrying
amount exceeds its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised as an expense in profit or
loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of CGUs are allocated first to reduce the carrying
amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU (group of CGUs), and then to reduce the carrying
amounts of the other assets in the CGU (group of CGUs) on a pro rata basis.
The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs
to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present
value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of
money and the risks specific to the asset.
10
Sefina Finance AB Financial statements 2010
Reg. no 556747-0710
Reg. no 556747-0710
Impairment of financial assets
At each reporting date, the company assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial
asset or group of assets is impaired. Objective evidence consists of observable conditions
occurring and with a negative impact on the recoverability of cost of a financial investment
classified as financial asset available-for-sale.
The recoverable amount of assets in the category loans and receivables, reported at amortized cost,
is calculated as the present value of future cash flows discounted at the effective rate prevailing
when the asset was initially recognised. Assets with a short duration are not discounted. An
impairment loss is recognised as an expense in net income.
Reversal of impairment
An impairment of assets contained in IAS 36 is reversed if there is an indication that the
impairment no longer exist and there has been a change in the assumptions underlying the
calculation of recoverable amount. Impairment of goodwill is never reversed. A reversal is only
made to the extent that the carrying value after reversal does not exceed the carrying amount that
would have been recorded, net of depreciation where appropriate, if no impairment loss had
occurred.
Impairment losses on loans and receivables carried at amortized cost is reversed if the previous
reasons for impairment no longer exist and that full payment from the customer is expected to be
obtained.
Credit loss
When a loan falls due and the customer not resolve their loans the pledged asset is sold at
auction. To the extent that the purchase price received does not cover the principle amount, the
deviation is recognised as credit loss at time of the sale.
(t) Employee benefits
Defined contribution plans
Defined contribution pension plans are classified as a plan where the companys obligation is
limited to the charges the company undertook to pay. In such cases the size of the employees
pension is related to the contributions paid by the enterprise to the plan, or to an insurance
company, and the investment income arising from the contributions. Consequently, it is the employee
who bears the actuarial risk (that the payments will be lower than expected) and investment risk
(that the invested assets will be insufficient to meet expected benefits). Obligations for
contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognised as an employee benefit expense
in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.
Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are measured on an undiscounted basis and are expensed as
the related service is provided.
A liability is recognised for the amount expected to be paid under short-term cash bonus or
profit-sharing plans if the group has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount
as a result of past service provided by the employee, and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
(u) | Contingent liabilities |
A contingent liability is recognised when there is a possible obligation that arises from past
events and whose existence will be confirmed only by one or more uncertain future events, or when
there is a commitment that is not recognised as a liability or provision because it is not probable
that an outflow of resources will be required.

Impairment tests are based on value in use for each cash generating unit. The following approach
has been used in the testing of goodwill for Sefina Svensk Pantbelåning AB and Helsingin Pantti Oy.
| A discount rate before tax of 11.5% was used, which represents an estimated yield of the existing business. | ||
| Cash flows are based on a detailed one year plan from the management. | ||
| The main assumptions of the projected cash flows are, in addition to yield, that the operation margin is maintained and that the assumed growth can be achieved. |
Management believes that no reasonable changes in key assumptions will lead to a value in use that
is lower than the carrying value.

The following summarizes the methods and assumptions used to determine the fair value of financial
instruments reported in the table above.
Interest-bearing liabilities
Fair value of financial liabilities is determined based on future cash flows of principal and
interest payments discounted at the current market interest rate at closing. Since all
interest-bearing liabilities runs with a floating rate, the book value is equal to fair value.
Pawn loan receivables
Pawn loan receivables is due in no more than four months, therefore the carrying amount is
considered equivalent to fair value.
18
Sefina Finance AB Financial statements 2010
Reg. no 556747-0710
Reg. no 556747-0710
Other receivables, Account payables and other liabilities
Since the payment terms of receivables, payables and other liabilities do not exceed one month, the
book value is considered to reflect fair value.
Note 19 Financial risks and financial policy
The groups activities expose it to various types of financial risks.
Financial risk refers to fluctuations in the companys profit or loss and cash flow due to changes
in exchange rates, interest rates, and refinancing and credit risks. The groups financial policy
for the management of financial risk forms a framework for financial activities. The responsibility
for the groups financial transactions and risks lies within the respective group companies. The
overall objective of the finance function is to provide cost-effective financing and to minimize
adverse effects on the groups earnings arising from market risks.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the group may experience problems in meeting its obligations
associated with financial liabilities. The groups projections include liquidity plans in the short
and medium term. Liquidity planning is used to manage liquidity risk and cost of financing of the
group. The goal is that the group can meet its financial commitments in upturns as well as
downturns without significant unforeseen costs and without risking the groups reputation.
Liquidity risk is managed within the respective group companies.
The groups financial liability amounted to 416 169 TSEK and the maturity structure of borrowings
is shown in the table below.

The bank loans relate to financing working capital for Sefina Svensk Pantbelåning and Helsingin
Pantti and are posted as credits that are traded on a monthly basis. The limit amount of the credit
of Sefina Svensk Pantbelåning is 325 000 TSEK and the Helsingin Pantti 17 500 TEUR.
None of the loans are past due at closing.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will
fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risks are classified according to IFRS 7 in
three types, currency risk and other price risk. The market risks primarily affecting the Group are
interest rate risk and currency risk.
The group aims to manage and control market risks within defined parameters, while optimizing the
performance of risk-taking within a given framework. The parameters are defined with a view that
market risks in the short term (6-12 months) should only affect the results of operations
marginally. In the longer term, however, permanent changes in exchange and interest rates will have
an impact on the consolidated profit or loss.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of financial instruments will fluctuate due to
changes in market interest rates. Interest rate risk could lead to changes in fair values and
changes in cash flows. A significant factor influencing the interest rate risk is the fixed
interest term.

All the groups financial assets consist of loan receivables against collateral in the form of
personal property (pledge). Maximum maturity of loans is 4 months and average maturity stands at
96 days. All financial assets bear fixed rates.
For Svensk Pantbelåning and Helsingin Panttis operating loans are, however, covenants based on the
companys solvency. These covenants are met by the company.
Sensitivity analysis
A change in interest rates seen over 12 months at 100 basis points would at year-end mean a change
in net income and equity in the group with -3 088 TSEK. The sensitivity analysis is based on the
assumption that all other factors (e.g. exchange rates) remain unchanged.
Currency risk
The risk that the fair values and cash flows for financial instruments may fluctuate in value when
foreign currencies change is called currency risk. The group is exposed to various types of
currency risk.
The Swedish entity has an insignificant percentage of payments paid in currencies other than SEK
and no incoming payments in another currency. The same is true for the Finnish entity. Also,
borrowings in each country run in local currency. Thus, the group has a very low exposure arising
from its sale and purchase in foreign currencies.
Foreign exchange risks can, however, be found in the translation of foreign subsidiaries assets
and liabilities into the parent companys functional currency, known as translation exposure. As
mentioned above, the group is also exposed to currency risk in respect of cash for foreign currency
loans (financial exposure). The groups share of loans in currencies other than Swedish kronor
amounts to 35% . This share represents operating loans in Helsingin Pantti raised in Euro, in order
to fund claims in Euro.
In accordance with the groups financial policy, there is no hedging of currency risks.
Translation of foreign subsidiaries rise translation differences. For 2010, the translation
differences amounts to -11 573 SEK.
Sensitivity analysis
A 10% strengthening of the Swedish kroner against other currencies at 31 December 2010 would mean a
reduction of consolidated shareholders equity by 8 738 TSEK. The profit or loss is not affected by
the strengthening of the Swedish kroner.
In accordance with the groups financial policy, there is no hedging of net investments in
subsidiaries.
Credit risk
Credit risk in pawn loan receivables/collaterals
The risk that customers do not fulfil their obligations, i.e. that payment is not received from
customers, constitute a credit risk. The group has established a credit policy for how the credits
should be handled. In assessing the credit amount the personal property (pledge) is valued
primarily and in the alternative, the borrower. In order to be able to assign the personal property
(pledge) a value the property has to have a resale value, i.e. can be sold at public auction. A
property of high value that is not expected to be sold on the secondary market is not accepted as
collateral. The credit policy states that the loans should be carried out so that the loan capital
and interest and fees are recovered in case the customer cannot pay for their commitments.

Sefina Finance AB Financial statements 2010
Reg. no 556747-0710
Reg. no 556747-0710
The group had at the end of 2010 approximately 107 000 loans which on average amounted to
approximately 4 000 SEK. Credit losses for group companies Sefina Svensk Pantbelåning and Helsingin
Pantti amounted during 2010 to 2 180 TSEK, which in relation to total lending in 2010 of
approximately 1 091 000 TSEK represented 0.20% .
The large number of loans, the low value of average loans and the existence of marketable
securities means that credit risk is generally low. The primary concern is lending against
collateral that is either false, such as watches, or where the borrower is not the rightful owner
of the property. Through the organizations expertise in valuation matters and ability to
understand the borrower the risk is minimize.
On closing day, there is no significant concentration of credit exposure. The maximum exposure to
credit risk is apparent from the carrying value in the balance sheet of each financial asset.

Note 24 Significant estimations and assessments
Preparation of the financial statements and the application of different accounting standards
are often based on managements estimates or assumptions and estimates that are reasonable under
the circumstances. These assumptions and estimates are often based on historical experience but
also on other factors which may also include expectations of future events. Other assumptions and
estimates could result in another effect in the financial statements and the actual outcome will
rarely be consistent with the estimates.
The assumptions and estimates that the company believes have the greatest impact on earnings and
assets and liabilities are discussed below.
Intangible assets
The group assesses annually whether any impairment loss relating to goodwill exists. Goodwill is
allocated to cash generating units.
The recoverable amount of the cash generating units is determined by calculating the value in use.
The calculation is based on the group ´s strategic plans, which in turn are based on market
