The information contained in this interim report is the information which Nolato is obliged to make public in accordance with the Swedish Securities Market Act and/or the Swedish Financial Instruments Trading Act. This information was made public on 19 July 2013 at 15:00.

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 2013 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.

NOTES

Note 1 Change in provisions for pensions in IAS 19 regarding defined benefit pension plans

The amendment to IAS 19 regarding defined benefit pension plans applies to fiscal years starting on 1 January 2013 with retroactive application, and the previous application of the corridor method as an equalisation mechanism for actuarial gains/losses has thus been removed.

Effect of change in accounting principle Adjusted opening Adjusted profit Adjusted closing
SEK million bal. 01/01/2012 2012 bal. 31/12/2012
Impact on balance sheet
Provisions for pensions and similar obligations 37 – 1 36
Deferred tax liabilities – 12 2 – 10
Other provisions 9 0 9
Shareholders' equity – 34 – 1 – 35
Impact on income statement
Profit for the year
Other comprehensive income 1
Tax on other comprehensive income – 2
Total other comprehensive income – 1

For Nolato, this has involved the recognised pension liability for PRI increasing by SEK 37 million at 31/12/2011 and by SEK 36 million at 31/12/2012.

Net debt has thus increased by the above amounts and the change is recognised retroactively in this report as of 31/12/2011.

Adding to the change in the pension liability itself is also a special employer's contribution liability, which is recognised under other provisions in the consolidated balance sheet. Furthermore, deferred tax is calculated on the change in pension liability, including the special employer's contribution recognised among deferred tax liabilities.

The total effect of the above is then recognised in other comprehensive income (equity) and has, at 31/12/2011, involved a reduction in equity of SEK 34 million and, at 31/12/2012, of SEK 35 million.

The change in closing balances between the years has been distributed linearly over the quarters.

Return on equity, the equity/assets ratio, debt/equity ratio and equity per share have been affected by the reduction in equity. Return on capital employed and operating capital have also been affected, but not materially.

All key ratios above have been retroactively restated in this report as of 31/12/2011.

Note 2 Financial instruments

Financial instruments are measured at fair value in the statement of financial position, pursuant to measurement hierarchy Level 2.

SEK million 30/06/2013 30/06/2012 31/12/2012
Other receivables
Derivative assets 0 4 3
Other liabilities
Derivative liabilities 3 3 1

No instruments have been offset in the statement of financial position, but have been recognised gross.

For a description of the valuation techniques and input data for the fair value measurement of financial instruments, please see Note 33 of the 2012 Annual Report. For other financial assets and liabilities in the Group, the carrying amounts are a reasonable approximation of their fair values. For a specification of such financial assets and liabilities, please see note 34 in the 2012 Annual Report.
