Accounts and notes Note 1 - Segment reporting

Separate reporting for the Sweden and International segments ceased in 2007 and, the whole Group was reported without segmentation. This change occurred, because management altered its way of managing operations in conjunction with the auSystems acquisition; the previous segments thus became insignificant.
The Group was organised into two main business divisions in 2006. The Sweden division focuses on telecom and selected technologies for e-commerce and billing, portals and mobile solutions, and embedded systems in Sweden. Operations are run through subsidiaries in Sweden and Singapore. International operations were grouped in the International business division. These operations are run through subsidiaries in Denmark, Singapore, and the UK plus a joint venture in India. The Other column mainly refers to parent company activities.
Then and now, business division assets mainly comprise property, plant, and equipment; intangible non-current assets; and receivables.
Business division liabilities consist of operating liabilities, excluding tax liabilities.
Investments refer to purchases of property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets, including increases resulting from acquisitions.
Unallocated assets and liabilities comprise deferred tax assets, deferred tax liability, tax liabilities, and liabilities related to company acquisitions.
In 2006, internal deliveries affected revenue, expenses, and profit/loss for the business divisions. Internal prices are now market based.
