Critical estimates and assumptions

In order to prepare the financial statements in conformity with IFRS the Corporate Management is required make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the recognized amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and costs. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and a number of other factors that are regarded as reasonable under the existing circumstances. Actual outcomes can deviate from these estimates and assessments. Estimates and assumptions are reviewed regularly.

Accounting policies

This interim report is prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and IFRIC interpretations as adopted by the EU and the relevant references to Chapter 9 of the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Furthermore, the consolidated financial statements follow the Swedish Financial Reporting Board's recommendation RFR 1. The parent company's statements are prepared in accordance with RFR 2, Accounting for Legal Entities and the Annual Accounts Act. The accounting policies and calculation methods applied are in line with the accounting policies used in the preparation of the most recent financial statements.

IAS 1 (revised) – Presentation of financial statements. The group has applied the revised standard from July 1, 2009. The revised standard requires that changes in equity which do not relate to transactions with owners are to be reported in a statement of comprehensive income. As a result the group presents all owner changes in equity in the Statement of changes in equity, whereas all non-owner changes in equity are presented in the Consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The revised standard has no impact apart from the presentation.

IFRS 2 (amendment) – Share-based payment. The group has applied the amendment from July 1, 2009. The amended standard deals with vesting conditions and cancellations. The amendment of the standard has no material impact on the consolidated financial statements at present.

IFRS 7 (amendment) – Financial instruments: Disclosures. The group has applied the amendment from January 1, 2009. The amendment requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurement and liquidity risk. The amended standard has no impact apart from the presentation.

Review report

We have conducted a review of the accompanying interim report for BTS Group AB for the period January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010. The board of directors and the president are responsible for the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this interim financial information based on our review.

We conducted our review in accordance with the Swedish Standard on Review Engagements (SÖG) 2410, Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. A review consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review has a different focus and is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing in Sweden RS and other generally accepted auditing standards in Sweden. The procedures performed in a review do not enable us to obtain a level of assurance that would make us aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the opinion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as an opinion expressed based on an audit.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying interim financial information is not, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act regarding the group, and with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act, regarding the parent company.
