The tax situation in China

With effect from 2011 onwards, China has introduced new taxes and duties for foreign companies which are expected to increase Nolato's tax cost by around SEK 5 – 10 million annually. During the period 2008 - 2010, Nolato enjoyed a tax rate of 15% in China as a result of its "High-Tech Status". The application process for this status for the period 2011 - 2013 is currently under way and notification is anticipated during the third quarter. The tax rate for the first six months has been determined assuming that Nolato will continue to be accorded "High-Tech Status" (15% tax rate in China), but with a supplement for the new non-profit based taxes from 2011 onwards.

Personnel

The average number of employees during the period was 5,749 (7,855). The reduction in the number of employees is attributable to Nolato Telecom in China, as a result of lower volumes.

Significant risks and uncertainty factors

The business risks and risk management of the Group and the Parent Company, along with the management of financial risks, are described in the 2010 Annual Report on pages 32 – 33 and in Note 4 on pages 49 – 50.

No significant events have occurred during the period which would significantly affect or change these descriptions of the Group and the Parent Company's risks or the management thereof.

Events after the balance sheet date

No significant events have occurred since the end of the period.

The information contained in this interim report is the information which Nolato must make public in accordance with the Swedish Securities Market Act and/or the Swedish Financial Instruments Trading Act. This information was made public on 20 July 2011 at 15:00 pm.

This report has been reviewed by the Company's auditors.

Review report

Introduction

I have reviewed the summary interim financial information (interim report) for Nolato AB (publ) as at 30 June 2011 and the six-month period ending on that date. It is the Board of Directors and the President who are responsible for the preparation and accurate presentation of this interim report in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act. My responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim report based on my review.

Focus and scope of review

I have conducted my review in accordance with the 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 is different in focus and considerably less far-reaching in focus and scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing in Sweden (RS) and other generally accepted auditing practices. The procedures performed in a review do not enable me to obtain a level of assurance that would make me aware of all significant circumstances that might be identified in an audit. Therefore, the conclusion expressed based on a review does not give the same level of assurance as a conclusion expressed based on an audit.

Conclusion

Based on my review, nothing has come to my attention that causes me to believe that the attached interim financial report has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with IAS 34 and the Swedish Annual Accounts Act in terms of the Group, and in accordance with the Swedish Annual Accounts Act in terms of the Parent Company.
