base stations and other network infrastructure could adversely affect the timing and costs of new network construction or expansion and the commercial launch and ultimate commercial success of these networks. Expensive government license fees can
cause network operators to incur substantial indebtedness and fundamentally affect operators&#146; businesses, profitability and financial condition, as well as the orders and services network operators place with or require from suppliers of
network systems and services such as us. Similarly, tariff regulation that adversely affects the pricing of new services could affect the sales of our systems and services. Environmental, health and safety and privacy regulations may increase costs
and restrict operations of telecommunications companies and network operators. The indirect impact of these changes in regulation could affect our business adversely even though the specific regulations do not directly apply to us or our products.

send and receive rather than the time they are connected to the network. The transition to a charge-for-data business model is a crucial step in the evolution of network operators, as successful migration of network operators to 3G systems in the
future is expected to require the adoption of a similar business model. Thus, if migration to 2.5G with new business models becomes successful, market demand and some network preparations will already be in place for 3G migration. </FONT></P><P

systems, including 2G, 2.5G and 3G. Our expertise in all major 2G standards and our role in developing 3G standards allow us to offer mobile telecommunications systems that incorporate each of the major 2G, 2.5G and 3G mobile technology standards.
As a result, we are able to offer tailored solutions to a network operator regardless of the existing standard used in its network. Our systems offering includes cell site equipment, radio base stations, base station controllers and radio network
controllers, mobile switching centers, service application nodes and other nodes for billing and operations support. A node is an element of a network, which can be programmed for switching, routing, generating billing records and other functions.

primarily of radio base stations, base station controllers and switching centers. Radio base stations provide access and interconnection between mobile handsets and the mobile network. Base station controllers manage the traffic between the radio
base stations and mobile switching centers, which are the nodes between the radio system and the public-switched telephone network. Base station controllers, in conjunction with mobile switching centers, effect call handovers between radio base
stations as subscribers move between cell sites while engaged in a voice call or data transmission. We offer a complete portfolio of radio base stations ranging from small pico cells (i.e., small cells in a mobile network that boost capacity and
coverage within buildings) to high capacity macro cell applications. Our mobile switching center and base station controller are built from a common switching platform, allowing them to be configured into multi-functional nodes. This reduces the
initial cost of circuit switching for smaller networks while providing the flexibility to easily expand capacity in the future. Another central feature of all our 2G GSM radio base stations and base station controllers is their ability to be
upgraded on a cost-effective basis to enable 2.5G GPRS and 3G EDGE transmissions. Like our radio base station products, our mobile switching center products have industry-leading scalability and capacity. Our GSM radio base stations represent more
than one third of all GSM radio base stations in service globally. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2"
COLOR="#000000">We also offer a full line of transmission systems using either wireless or optical technologies. These systems are the transmission links between the nodes of a mobile network. We offer microwave radio links that can be used to
&#147;backhaul&#148; the traffic between radio base stations and base station controllers as well as between base station controllers and mobile switching centers. Wireless backhauling (i.e., transporting data and voice from a network access point
to a central switching point in mobile systems) with microwave radio links reduces the need for the operator to lease transmission capacity from wireline operators resulting in significant cost savings for the wireless operator. Our MINI-LINK is one
of the market leaders for such backhaul applications, with thousands of links deployed. A new generation of MINI-LINK systems is now being introduced with an expanded capacity to support the increased traffic demands of Mobile Internet and 3G, as
well as to serve the market for fixed wireless broadband access. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2"

believe that this approach is of central importance today because most network operators are capital constrained at present. We believe that our ability to meet the diverse technology needs of our customers with high value-added solutions has been
instrumental in our being chosen as a provider of wireless communication equipment to the world&#146;s 10 largest mobile network operators. We believe that these operators account for more than 50 percent of all subscribers in the world and we

increase in the volume of data that is being transmitted through wireline networks. The development of the Internet and network connectivity, in addition to increasing amounts of multi-media, data and voice transmissions, have placed severe strains
on the capacity limitations of existing wireline networks. Modern networks must also be able to reliably connect voice calls in real time while transmitting irregular, and often very large, bursts of data. Many network operators currently manage

generator for today&#146;s wireline network operators and a key area for continued profitability. As a result, network operators are required to strike a careful balance between making short-term investments in circuit-switched products to protect
current revenues and long-term investments in packet-switching technology to prepare for the future. In addition, due to the difficult economic climate and volatile financial market conditions, many network operators have been forced to reduce

products/technology or to obtain licenses to the products/technology which is the subject of such litigation. However, we cannot be certain that any such licenses, if available at all, will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms. Also,
defending these claims may be expensive and divert the efforts of our management and technical personnel. In particular, we are currently party to a lawsuit (Harris Corp.) where the plaintiff alleges that we have infringed one of their U.S. patents

vendor of carrier-class telecommunication systems and services to leading operators of mobile and fixed networks. We believe that we are the leading supplier of mobile communication systems, including 2G, 2.5G and 3G systems, and we have a strong

this is an industry with relatively few but large vendors and customers, it takes time for the industry to adjust to such a large decline in the market as the one we have been exposed to recently. Consequently, the last years have been characterized
by negative results reported by most vendors and massive restructuring efforts and layoffs. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">This said, however, we want to emphasize that we have a positive long-term view of the market. We strongly believe this is a growth industry. The need for telecommunications is still large and growing. The
penetration of mobile telephony worldwide is only 18 percent. Many countries have penetration levels as high as 70&#150;80 percent, but many developing countries are still below 5 percent. There are now more than 1.1 billion mobile subscribers in
the world, with around 190 million new subscribers added in 2002, i.e. more than 500,000 subscribers per day. We believe that the number of mobile subscribers remains on track to exceed 1.5 billion within three years, with 165&#150;180 million net
additions anticipated in 2003. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">The penetration of fixed
line telephony is approximately 17 percent. The subscriber base is, however, almost the same as for mobile, and the combined penetration is still below 20 percent. Accordingly, there is a large growth potential in increasing the number of
subscribers. In addition, we expect the usage per subscriber to increase due to lower tariffs, new applications and services. On top of this, next generation networks will add data traffic and we will see more machine-to-machine communications in
mobile and fixed networks. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">Our customer base includes most

to an estimated USD 42 billion. This was due in part to over-investments in 2001 with excess capacity as a result. In 2002, many operators also had to postpone needed expenditures to conserve cash and improve their financial position, due to the
negative sentiment in the financial markets regarding the telecom industry. Consequently, the service quality of many networks decreased beyond our expectations during the year. In our opinion there is a need for increased capacity in many markets.
The implementation of third generation (3G) networks also developed somewhat slower than we anticipated due to financial problems of certain operators, unavailability of handsets as well as issues in several markets regarding building permits for
sites and towers. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">The market for fixed infrastructure,

sales during 2002 was largest in Latin America due to local macro-economic conditions. The planned shift in the region from TDMA technology to GSM was stalled. In North America this shift generated good demand and the overall decline was moderate.
In Europe the subscriber growth was moderate, as the penetration is already high and third generation investments have not yet picked up momentum. It is in Europe the effects of financial constraints on operators&#146; capital expenditures were most
visible, due to the effects of the previous investments in licenses and acquisitions of other operators. In Asia Pacific, the decline was largely attributable to China, where the investments in 2001 created excess capacity which has been reduced
during 2002, and Japan, where a sharp decline in investments in PDC technology was not offset by corresponding WCDMA volumes. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P

joint venture partners and had a successful first quarter and reached break-even. A number of strong new products were created during 2002. Certain delays in launches of new products, however, led to lower volumes than anticipated and resulted in a
full year loss before taxes. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">Items adjusting income

standard describes the accounting treatment and disclosure of employee benefits. The standard requires a company to recognize (a) a liability when an employee has provided service in exchange for employee benefits to be paid in the future and (b) an
expense when the company consumes the economic benefit arising from service provided by an employee in exchange for employee benefits. The effects of this standard as of January 1, 2004, are not yet fully evaluated by the company. If Ericsson would
have applied RR29 as of January 1, 2003, the pension provisions would have been increased by approximately SEK 2.8 billion. The effect on equity, net after taxes, would have been approximately SEK 2 billion. Pension benefits, costs and liabilities
will increase, however, as benefits will be calculated including expected future salary increases. The net effect of the accounting change at adoption will be charged to stockholder&#146;s equity. </FONT></P><P

(SFAS141), &#147;Business Combinations&#148;, and No. 142 (SFAS142), &#147;Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets&#148;, collectively referred to as the &#147;Standards&#148;. SFAS141 supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 16,
&#147;Business Combinations&#148;. The provisions of SFAS141 (i) require that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, (ii) provide specific criteria for the initial recognition and
measurement of intangible assets apart from goodwill, and (iii) require that unamortized negative goodwill be written off immediately as an extraordinary gain instead of being deferred and amortized. SFAS 141 also requires that upon adoption of
SFAS142 the Company reclassify the carrying amounts of certain intangible assets into or out of goodwill, based on certain criteria. SFAS142 supersedes APB17, &#147;Intangible Assets&#148;, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2001. SFAS142 primarily addresses the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their initial recognition. The provisions of SFAS142 (i) prohibit the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, (ii) require
that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles assets be tested annually for impairment (and in interim periods if certain events occur indicating that the carrying value of goodwill and/or indefinite-lived intangible assets may be impaired), (iii)
require that reporting units be identified for the purpose of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill, and (iv) remove the forty-year limitation on the amortization period of intangible assets that have finite lives. </FONT></P><P

made both before and after June 30, 2001. SFAS141 requires that the unamortized deferred credit related to an excess over cost arising from an investment that was accounted for using the equity method (equity-method negative goodwill), and that was
acquired before July 1, 2001, must be written-off immediately and recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Equity-method negative goodwill arising from equity investments made after June 30, 2001 must be written-off
immediately and recorded as an extraordinary gain, instead of being deferred and amortized. SFAS142 prohibits amortization of the excess of cost over the underlying equity in the net assets of an equity method investee that is recognized as
goodwill. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">The Company has determined that it does not have

for restructuring charges in the Phones segment totaling SEK 23.6 billion, primarily caused by product launch delays, less competitive products and delivery problems related to a fire in a supplier&#146;s factory. Income before taxes increased as a
result of the significant income from the Systems segment and the aforementioned capital gains. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT
FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">In 2001, the telecommunications industry experienced a significant decline in demand, driven by general economic conditions as well as industry specific circumstances, such as lower growth in Western Europe and
the United States. In Western Europe, the growth rate in the number of mobile subscribers decreased, reflecting the already relatively high penetration of mobile handsets, and operators reduced capital expenditure on infrastructure due to their
significant debt burdens largely incurred to acquire 3G licenses. In the United States, demand for TDMA equipment decreased as a result of operators&#146; decisions to transition to GSM. Demand for fixed telecommunications infrastructure also
decreased rapidly, in particular in Latin America during the second half of the year. We implemented an Efficiency Program, principally relating to the Systems segment, with targeted cost reductions of SEK 20 billion annually beginning in 2002, for
which we accrued restructuring costs of SEK 11.1 billion. The handset operations were downsized and restructured to minimize risk exposure, and we established and transferred substantially all of our handset business to the Sony Ericsson joint
venture. A substantial operating loss was incurred in the Phones segment, due to excess capacity costs, lower than planned volumes sold, and lower than anticipated prices in a market characterized by significant excess capacity. In addition to the
provisions recorded in 2000, we made provisions of SEK 3.9 billion in connection with the rightsizing of the handset business before transfer of the business to Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications. In Other operations, our Microelectronics and
Cables businesses were adversely impacted by very low demand. Capital gains improved operating income by SEK 5.8 billion. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P
STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">In 2002, the situation in the telecom market worsened, with a decline of over 30 percent, also this year driven by general economic conditions and
industry specific circumstances. Many operators had excess capacity reflecting overinvestment in network capacity prior to 2002, while others had to postpone investments to strengthen their financial position. The rollout of third generation
networks developed slower than expected, due to shortage of handsets, difficult financial situations among operators, and issues related to building permits for sites and towers in several markets. The price pressure intensified, but through cost
reductions, we were able to cope with this rather well. As a result of the market decline, orders booked decreased sequentially during three quarters until the fourth quarter, which showed an improvement of 49 percent compared to the third quarter.
Part of this increase, however, is related to seasonality. The implementation of the Efficiency Program continued, as outlined in 2001. Additional restructuring measures were decided at the end of the first quarter, aimed at reducing operating
expenses by an additional SEK 30 billion before the end of 2003. This, plus measures to reduce cost of sales, is undertaken to ensure a break-even point as low as at SEK 120 billion of sales. The run-rate of annual operating expenses was reduced to
SEK 51 billion in the fourth quarter, compared to 68 billion at the beginning of the year. Excluding the effects of the de-consolidation of Phones, the number of employees was reduced with 24 percent to 64,600 at year-end 2002 compared with 85,200
at year-end 2001. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">Please also refer to Board of

on those products which we believed had the greatest market opportunities. We also contracted to outsource the development and manufacturing, according to our specifications, of entry-level mobile handsets, and we streamlined manufacturing by
transferring high-volume production to low-cost manufacturing units. In addition, we focused our research and development expenditures on advanced mobile systems, specifically in support of GPRS and 3G products. </FONT></P><P

general, the gross amount of interest paid on convertible debentures will be included in your gross income as ordinary income from foreign sources. If you use the cash method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes and receive a
payment of interest in SEK, you will be required to include in income the USD value of the SEK (determined on the date such payment is received) regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted to USD at that time, and such USD value will be
the U.S. Holder&#146;s tax basis in such SEK. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="ARIAL" SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000">If you use
the accrual method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes, or are otherwise required to accrue interest prior to receipt, you will be required to include in income the USD value of the amount of interest income (including market
discount and reduced by amortizable bond premium to the extent applicable) that has accrued and is otherwise required to be taken into account with respect to a debenture during an accrual period. The USD value of such accrued income will be
determined by translating such income at the average rate of exchange for the accrual period or, with respect to an accrual period that spans two taxable years, at the average rate for the partial period within the taxable year. You may elect,
however, to translate such accrued interest income using the rate of exchange on the last day of the accrual period or, with respect to an accrual period that spans two taxable years, using the rate of exchange on the last day of the taxable year.
If the last day of an accrual period is within five business days of the date of receipt of the accrued interest, you may translate such interest using the rate of exchange on the date of receipt. The above election will apply to other obligations
held by you and may not be changed without the consent of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;). You will recognize exchange gain or loss (which will be treated as ordinary income or loss) with respect to accrued interest income on
the date such income is received. The amount of ordinary income or loss recognized will equal the difference, if any, between the USD value of SEK received (determined on the date such payment is received) in respect of such accrual period and the
USD value of interest income that has accrued during such accrual period (as determined above). </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="ARIAL"

COLOR="#000000">Generally, if you purchase a debenture for an amount that is in excess of the sum of all amounts payable on the debenture after its acquisition date (other than payments of stated interest), you will be considered to have purchased
the debenture with amortizable bond premium. You may elect to amortize such premium (or if it results in a smaller amortizable bond premium attributable to the period of earlier call date, with reference to the amount payable on earlier call date)
using a constant yield method over the remaining term of the debenture and may offset interest income otherwise required to be included in respect of the debenture with respect to an accrual period by the bond premium allocable to the accrual
period. If the bond premium allocable to the accrual period exceeds the interest allocable to the accrual period, you may deduct such excess amount to the extent of the amount by which your total interest inclusions on the debenture in prior accrual
periods exceed the total amount treat by you as a bond premium deduction on the debenture in prior accrual periods. Any remainder would generally be carried over to subsequent periods. Any election to amortize bond premium with respect to any
debenture (or other general debt obligations) applies to all taxable debt obligations held by you at the beginning of the first taxable year to which the election applies and to all debt obligations thereafter acquired in all subsequent tax years
and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

net revenue exposures in US Dollar (USD), Euro (EUR), Chinese Renminbi (CNY), Japanese Yen (JPY) and British Pound Sterling (GBP). A +/&#150;10 percent change in the exchange rates between SEK and the currencies with the largest exposures would have
had the following effects (in SEK billions) on income before taxes in 2002 before any hedging effects are considered: USD +/&#150;1.6 (1.9), EUR +/<BR>&#150;0.8 (1.2), CNY +/&#150;0.7 (1.0), JPY +/&#150;0.5 (0.8) and GBP +/&#150;0.4 (0.4). Both
committed and forecasted transaction exposures are hedged to safeguard business margins and to reduce volatility in earnings. Due to the stronger SEK, the effects of hedging during 2002 increased earnings by approximately SEK 2 billion, calculated
by comparing the average hedged rates on the hedge contract portfolio as of January 1, 2002, with average spot rates during 2002. As of December 31, 2002, anticipated net transaction exposures were hedged for the next 9&#150;12 months, giving us
time to react to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates by changing prices or renegotiating contracts with customers and vendors. Unrealized currency forwards carried a positive market value of approximately SEK 3 billion at year-end. </FONT></P><P

to our customers by third party sources. In most of our customer finance arrangements, we maintain security interests, normally in the form of pledges of equipment and/or pledges of shares. Restructuring efforts for cases of troubled debt may lead
to temporary holdings of such equity interests. We seek to limit our customer financing exposure, both in amount and duration of the credits given. To achieve this, our strategy is to engage banks and other financial institutions as early as
possible in our customer finance discussions. Initially, we may have to guarantee such arrangements but our aim is to subsequently transfer all risk to the financial markets. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

Ericsson to make funds available directly or indirectly (through a third party against an Ericsson guarantee) under a legally binding credit agreement. The terms of our commitments vary. In some cases, incremental commitments become available to the
customer as they sign additional contracts with us. In other cases, the availability of commitments is conditional to the customer meeting certain future operational or financial requirements. </FONT></P><P

against a first loss Ericsson guarantee. Ericsson is no longer exposed to put arrangements with any form of triggers with financial institutions. </FONT></TD></TR></TABLE>

on our annual funding costs of SEK 55 million solely in respect of notes outstanding under our Euro Medium Term Note program. If we are unable to comply with financial ratio covenants, we may need to repay or refinance the related debt and/or other

those located in other European countries, also belong to trade unions. Central and industry-wide agreements on wages and salaries in Sweden were renegotiated in 2001 and remain applicable through the first quarter of 2004, resulting in an estimated

Of the originally granted employee options, there remained, as of December 31, 2002, options outstanding corresponding to approximately 1 million shares. Each option entitles the holder to purchase one B share at SEK 128. The options expire February

was implemented in 2002 and a majority of the employees were invited to participate. During 2002, approximately 27,000 employees in 71 countries participated in the plan and invested in approximately 29.6 million shares. The initially scheduled
24-month period of employee salary deductions and investments had to be pre-terminated in the autumn of 2002, since all shares included in the plan for future matching and for covering social security payments had been reserved earlier than expected
due to the high participation rate and the low share price. There will be no further employee investments made under the plan. As of December 31, 2002, approximately 2.5 million shares of the total 35 million shares available had been either
transferred to employees, through premature matching as a result of redundancy, or sold on Stockhomsb&ouml;rsen in order to cover the social security payments incurred by the matching. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

New Swedish GAAP recommendations related to development costs and restructuring costs have been implemented. After the Company&#146;s adoption of these new recommendations from 2002 no difference exists between Swedish and US GAAP amounts

is not applicable and consequently, for US GAAP purposes, the Company reported additional accounts receivable and customer financing balances, and additional borrowings of SEK 847 million respectively as of December 31, 2002 (SEK 3,781 million as of

accounts receivable differ between Swedish and US GAAP, with certain of the US GAAP criteria such as the legal isolation requirement in SFAS140 being more prescriptive. Under Swedish GAAP, a receivable should be de-recognized when an entity has lost
control of the contractual rights that comprise the receivable. As of December 31, 2002, no such transactions existed. At December 31, 2001, amounts of SEK 4,061 million, were recorded as long-term customer financing and a corresponding amount as a
borrowing for US GAAP purposes, since certain sales customer finance credits under Swedish GAAP did not meet the requirements of US GAAP for sale recognition. No gain or loss was recorded in the Swedish GAAP accounts for these sales. </FONT></P><P

Presentation of Information
In
this Annual Report on Form 20-F, unless otherwise indicated, all financial information presented has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Sweden (Swedish GAAP). In addition, net income (loss) for the years
ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, and shareholders' equity as of December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, have been reconciled to U.S. GAAP.
Effective January 1, 2002, Swedish GAAP requires consolidation of companies in which the majority of the residual or ownership risks are retained.
As a result, we have restated our consolidated financial statements as of and for each of the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 to consolidate certain finance companies in which we have minority holdings which were previously
accounted for under the equity method. The restatement was already made in our 2001 Annual Report on Form 20-F.
Both amounts stated in Swedish kronor (SEK) and derived from U.S. dollars (USD) and amounts stated in USD and derived from SEK, unless otherwise
indicated, have been converted at a fixed rate, solely for convenience, as indicated herein. These conversions should not be construed as a representation by us that the SEK amounts actually represent such USD amounts, or vice versa, or that a
conversion could be made at the rate indicated, or any other rate, or at all.We present our financial statements in SEK.
Certain amounts and percentages have been rounded and accordingly may not total.
We obtained some of the information presented in this Annual Report on Form 20-F regarding market share and industry
information relating to our business from market research reports, analyst reports and other publicly available information. While we have no reason to believe that this information is not reliable, we cannot guarantee the accuracy or completeness
of the information and we have not independently verified it.
Reference in this Annual Report on Form 20-F to the "Company", "Ericsson", "we", "our" or "us" mean Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ) and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Forward-looking Statements
This
Annual Report includes "forward-looking statements" and includes assumptions about future market conditions, operations and results.
The words "believe", "expect", "anticipate", "intend", "may", "plan" and similar
expressions are intended to identify these statements. Forward-looking statements appear in a number of places including, without limitation, and Item 5 "Operating and Financial Review and Prospects", Item 3D "Risk Factors" and
Item 4 "Information on the Company", and include statements regarding:
•
strategies, goals and growth prospects;
•
future plans and potential for future growth;
•
liquidity, capital resources and capital expenditure, and our credit ratings;
•
growth in demand for our systems and services;
•
our joint venture activities;
•
economic outlook and industry trends;
•
developments of our markets and competition;
•
the impact of regulatory initiatives;
•
research and development expenditure;
•
plans to launch new products, systems and services; and
•
expected cost savings from our various cost reduction measures.
Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these and other forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that
these expectations will prove to be correct. Because these statements involve risks and uncertainties, results could differ materially from those set out in the forward-looking statements as a result of:
•
conditions in the telecommunications industry and general economic conditions in the markets in which we operate, and our ability to adapt to rapid changes in market
conditions;
•
political, economic and regulatory developments in the markets in which we operate, including allegations of health risks from electromagnetic fields and increasing cost of
licenses to use radio frequencies;
•
management's ability to develop and execute a successful strategy, including partnerships, acquisitions, divestitures and ability to manage growth and decline and to
execute cost-reduction efforts;
•
financial risks, including foreign exchange rate changes, interest rate changes, credit risks in relation to counterparties, risks of confiscation of assets in foreign
countries and risks of insufficient liquidity to execute payments;
•
the impact of changes in product demand, pricing and competition, including erosion of sales prices, increased competition from existing or new competitors or new technology
and the risk that new systems and services may fail to be accepted at the rates or levels we anticipate;
•
our customer structure, where the number of customers may be reduced due to consolidation in the industry, and the remaining customers will become larger, and the negative
business consequences of a loss of, or significant decline in, our business with such a customer;

ITEM 3D:    RISK
FACTORS
You should carefully consider all the
information in this Annual Report and, in particular, the risks outlined below.
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH OUR BUSINESS
An
extended downturn in the telecommunications industry will continue to negatively impact our business and results of operations.
We operate globally in the telecommunications markets and are subject to conditions particular to the markets for telecommunications infrastructure,
equipment and services. As 2001, 2002 was a challenging year for the telecommunications industry. We reported a SEK 19.0 billion net loss in 2002. The beginning of 2003 has shown no signs of improvement and the near term market outlook still remains
uncertain. The development in the telecommunications industry effects our ability to achieve our financial goal of returning to profit at some point in 2003. Currently, the timing and strength of recovery of the markets in which we operate is highly
unpredictable. If the telecommunications markets continue to show slow or negative growth, our business will continue to be negatively impacted.
We are subject to the impact of economic conditions in areas in which we operate.
Current conditions in many of the large economies in which we operate and the global economy remain very uncertain. As
a result, it is difficult to estimate the global and regional economic development. Currently our business is negatively affected by the unfavorable conditions in Latin America. The future direction of the overall local and global economies,
including changes in fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies worldwide may have a significant impact on our overall performance.
Many of our customers have reduced and are continuing to reduce capital expenditure and, as a result, demand for our systems and network roll-out services
have declined and may continue to decline.
Many
of our current and potential customers are network operators with high levels of indebtedness and, in some cases, emerging or weak revenue streams. Adverse economic conditions, network over-capacity due to excess build-out, lack of funding for
telecom development and overspending on license fees have forced network operators to undertake restructuring and cost-cutting initiatives. In light of market conditions, many of our customers delayed delivery of orders previously placed and
implemented drastic reductions in capital expenditure in 2002 as compared to 2001 and even more so in comparison with 2000, and may continue to further reduce capital expenditure. As a result, demand for our systems and network roll-out services has
declined. If the demand for our systems and services weakens further or remains weak on account of the financial condition of our customers, market and industry conditions or otherwise, this is likely to have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations and financial condition.
We may
experience greater variability in our operating results than in the past and may have increased difficulty in accurately predicting future operating results.
Our business is subject to a wide variety of factors that impact our quarterly and annual operating results from period
to period. The current economic slowdown in certain regions and uncertainties in the telecommunications market may continue to negatively impact the timing of network capacity build-outs, including the introduction of new technologies such as 3G. As
a result, our operating results may fluctuate significantly from period to period and possibly more than they have historically.
In addition, uncertainties arising from these factors, in particular during difficult economic conditions, make preparing estimates of our future
operating results even more difficult than usual and may lead us to revise our estimates and/or strategies more frequently than in the past. As a result, any of these factors could have a material adverse impact on our operations such that the
results of operations for any period will not necessarily be indicative of results to be expected in future periods.
We may be adversely affected by the significant changes that we expect in the wireless telecommunications industry. In particular, the 3G technologies, WCDMA,
EDGE and CDMA2000, may not become commercially successful, which could be detrimental to our competitive and financial position.
The wireless telecommunications industry is undergoing significant changes. These include the continuation of digital upgrades in existing analog
wireless systems, evolving industry standards, ongoing improvements in the capacity and quality of digital technology, the integration of wireless and wireline services, shorter development cycles for new services, evolution to 3G standards and
changes in end-user needs and preferences. In general, this causes uncertainty over future demand for our systems, products and services and the prices that we will be able to charge for these systems, products and services.
A selected number of service providers have introduced new 3G services
and serveral others have announced that they intend to introduce 3G services in the future. We expect that 3G services will combine the attributes of faster speed, greater data capability, better portability and greater functionality. WCDMA is a 3G
technology developed by us and others, which enables wideband digital radio communications. WCDMA has been
9
Table of Contents
selected for the third generation of mobile telephone systems in Europe, Japan and, to a lesser extent, the United States and other markets. EDGE and
CDMA2000 are technologies developed to increase the capacity of and transmission speed of existing 2G networks to 3G standards.
However, there are competing technological standards and several options within each standard, and there could be vendor-proprietary variations and
rapid technological innovation in connection with 3G roll-outs in various locations around the world. Moreover, other technologies, such as wireless local area networks, could provide additional competition for some services. If any or all of these
alternative 3G technologies were to become commercially successful, we may not be able to shift our technology focus quickly or efficiently enough to successfully compete. Technological changes can also affect the price we are able to obtain for
systems and services. Accordingly, there can be no assurances that technological changes will not materially adversely affect us.
We engage in customer finance, which exposes us to certain credit and other risks regarding our customers. Some of these customers do not yet have established
revenue streams.
For a discussion of our customer
finance arrangements, see Item 11 "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk".
As reflected in that section, our customer finance arrangements make us vulnerable to adverse changes in our customers' businesses and expose
us to credit risks. The risks may be significant, particularly in relation to network operators with limited experience or no proven track record. While we evaluate our customer credits on a regular basis, defaults on our customer financing could
occur for reasons beyond our control and could result in restructuring of the financing arrangements or credit losses. Such an event could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Failure to successfully implement our cost reduction measures may adversely affect
our financial results.
During 2002, we announced
the implementation of significant further cost reduction measures in connection with our first quarter results. Together with the savings under the "Efficiency Program", adopted in 2001, we expect all these measures to have the effect of
decreasing our annual level of operating expenses by approximately SEK 50 billion, as compared to the beginning of 2001, when fully implemented by the end of 2003. These anticipated cost savings are based on our estimates, however, and may not
materialize. In addition, our cost reduction measures are based on current conditions and do not take into effect future cost increases that may result from changes in our industry or operations, including new business developments, wage and price
increases or other factors. Our failure to successfully implement these planned cost-reduction measures or the potential that these efforts may not generate the level of cost savings we expect going forward, could negatively impact our financial
results as well as our ongoing operations.
Our financial instruments
contain rating triggers, financial ratios and other covenants that may affect our access to and cost of funds.
For a discussion of debt facilities that are impacted by changes in our credit rating or our compliance with financial ratios or other covenants see
Item 11 "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk".
As reflected in that section, our long-term credit rating was downgraded several times during 2002, thereby limiting our access to funding and increasing our funding costs. Our current long-term credit rating, February 2003,
is B1 (Moody's) and BB (Standard & Poor's). If we are unable to avoid further downgrading or comply with these financial ratio or other covenants, we may need to repay or refinance the related debt and/or other debt which contains
cross-default provisions. We cannot assure you that we in such a situation would be able to refinance our indebtedness or obtain additional funding.
Our access to short term funding has decreased and may continue to decrease or become more expensive as a result of or operational and financial conditions
and market conditions.
For a discussion of our
access to short term funding see Item 11 "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk".
Our commercial paper and other short term debt is currently rated B (Standard & Poor's) and Not Prime (Moody's). Our credit rating and
the number of large commercial paper issuers whose recent credit downgrades have placed them in this market may restrict our access to short-term credit. At the end of 2002, we had no outstanding commercial paper and we cannot assure you that we
will have access to the commercial paper market in the future.
Our
business has substantial cash requirements and we may require additional sources of funds if our current sources are unavailable or insufficient to satisfy these requirements, and we cannot assure you that these additional sources of funds will be
available or available on reasonable terms.
We
have substantial cash requirements in connection with our operations, research and development, capital expenditure, cost reduction measures, customer financing programs and debt service obligations. If the cash we generate from our operations or
that we can access under our credit facilities or from other sources is not available when needed or is insufficient to satisfy our requirements, we may require additional sources of funds. We cannot assure you that any required additional sources
of funds would be available or available on reasonable terms,
10
Table of Contents
particularly in light of our existing debt levels and credit ratings. If we do not generate sufficient amounts of capital to support our operations,
service our debt, continue our research and development and customer financing programs or we do not generate sufficient amounts of capital at the times and on the terms required by us, our business will likely be adversely affected.
Our A shareholders have voting control over the company.
Under our current capital structure, each A share has a thousand times
the voting power of each B share. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2002, our A shareholders held 4.1 percent of our capital stock and 97.7 percent of our voting rights. Of our two largest shareholders, based on voting rights, Investor AB held 5.3
percent of our capital stock and 38.3 percent of our voting rights and AB Industrivärden held 2.5 percent of our capital stock and 27.7 percent of our voting rights as of December 31, 2002. As a result, our A shareholders, and in particular
Investor AB and AB Industrivärden have the ability to exert significant influence over certain actions requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and appointment of officers, and may have the ability to influence our
policy. As such, decisions made by Investor AB or AB Industrivärden may influence our business, results of operations and financial condition.
The telecommunications market is undergoing consolidation, which increases our dependence on key customers.
Many significant participants in the telecommunications market are
merging and consolidating as a result of competitive pressures, and we expect this trend to continue. This consolidation process will likely decrease the number of potential significant customers for our systems and services. For the year ended
December 2002, our ten largest customers accounted for almost 50 percent of our net sales and our 20 largest customers accounted for approximately 75 percent of our net sales. Fewer significant customers will increase our reliance on key customers
and, due to the increased size of these companies, may negatively impact our bargaining position and profit margins. The loss of, or a reduced role with, a key customer due to industry consolidation could negatively impact our business, results of
operations and financial condition.
We are dependent on developing
new products, which are complex and may not be successful in the market.
Product life cycles in our industry can be short andtherefore we expend considerable resources in product development and are actively engaged in designing new products and solutions and updating our existing products and
solutions. Introducing new products requires significant management time and a high level of financial and other commitments to research and development and may not always result in success. Many of our products incorporate advanced technologies,
such as 3G technologies, that are untested or are undergoing testing. Our development of new products may also require us to license third-party technologies and successfully integrate such technologies with our products, which may add to the
already large cost of bringing a new product to market. We are also actively engaged in the development of technology standards, such as WCDMA, EDGE, CDMA2000 and Bluetooth, which we are incorporating into our products and systems. In order to be
successful, those standards must be accepted by relevant standardization bodies and by the industry as a whole. Our sales and earnings may suffer if we invest in developing and marketing technologies and technology standards that do not function as
expected, are not adopted in the industry or are not accepted in the marketplace within the timeframe we expect, or at all.
We operate in the highly competitive telecommunications markets and our profitability will be affected if we are not able to compete effectively.
The markets for our products are highly
competitive in terms of pricing, product and service quality, the timing of development and introduction of new products, customer service and terms of financing. We face intense competition from significant competitors. Our competitors may
implement new technologies before we do, allowing them to offer more attractively priced or enhanced products, services or solutions than we provide. Some of our competitors may have greater resources in certain business segments or geographic
markets. We may also encounter increased competition from new market entrants, alternative technologies or alternative telecommunications platforms. Our operating results depend to a significant extent on our ability to compete in this market
environment, in particular on our ability to adapt to changes in the markets to introduce new products to the market and to reduce the cost of new and existing products.
11
Table of Contents
We have certain long-term
contracts, which expose us to risks of cost overruns and extended payment terms.
We currently have certain long-term contracts under which the prices are reduced during the life of the contract, according to a pre-negotiated schedule. These long-term contracts are typically awarded on a
competitive bidding basis and the profit margins on these contracts may vary from the original estimates as a result of changes in estimated costs, productivity, specifications or timing. In addition, these contracts frequently include extended
payment terms, which will require us to recover costs incurred in performing these contracts over the term of the contract. These contracts generally also provide for penalties and termination rights in the event of our failure to deliver on time or
if our products do not perform. Should any of these contracts become unprofitable or be terminated due to any or several of these reasons, our operating results will be negatively impacted.
If our outside suppliers fail to deliver satisfactory components and manufacturing
services on time, our financial results could be negatively impacted.
We are dependent on our suppliers to obtain timely and adequate delivery of components and manufacturing services. As part of our current business strategy, we have outsourced substantially all of our mass production
manufacturing. If we are unable to identify manufacturers who are willing to contract with us on competitive terms and devote adequate resources to fulfill their obligations to us, or if we do not properly manage these relationships, our customer
relationships, reputation or competitiveness may suffer.
We have experienced component shortages in the past that have adversely affected our operations. Although we work closely with our suppliers to avoid shortages and to arrange for alternative sources of supply, we cannot assure you
that we will not experience component shortages in the future. We also rely on a limited number of suppliers for a number of our components, as well as a core group of electronics manufacturing services (EMS) companies for the manufacture of our
products, which increases our dependence on these suppliers. A reduction or interruption in component supply, a significant increase in the price of one or more components or manufacturing services or constraints on our suppliers' capacity
during periods of significant demand could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
Liability claims related to and public perception of the potential health risks associated with electromagnetic fields may negatively impact our business.
We are subject to claims that mobile handsets and
other telecommunications devices that generate electromagnetic fields expose users to health risks. At present, a substantial number of scientific studies conducted by various independent research bodies have indicated that electromagnetic fields,
at levels within the limits prescribed by public health authority safety standards and recommendations, cause no adverse effect to human health. However, any perceived risk or new scientific findings of adverse health effects of mobile communication
devices and equipment could adversely affect us through a reduction in sales. Although we comply with all current safety standards and recommendations regarding electromagnetic fields, we cannot assure you that we will not become the subject of
product liability claims or be held liable for such claims or be required to comply with future regulatory changes that may have an adverse effect on our business.
Our business and results of operations will be harmed if we are found to have infringed intellectual property rights of third
parties, or if we are unable to protect our intellectual property rights from challenges or unauthorized third party use.
Like other companies operating in the telecommunications industry, because our products comprise complex technology, we experience litigation
regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. Third parties have asserted, and in the future may assert, claims against us alleging that we infringe their intellectual property rights. If we do not succeed in any such litigation, we could
be required to expend significant resources to pay damages, develop non-infringing products/technology or to obtain licenses to the products/technology, which is the subject of such litigation. However, we cannot be certain that any such licenses,
if available at all, will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms. Also, defending these claims may be expensive and divert the efforts of our management and technical personnel. In particular, we are currently party to a lawsuit in
which plaintiff alleges that we have infringed one of its U.S. patents through our sales of certain GSM and TDMA products in the United States. The jury found on October 30, 2002, that we had willfully infringed the one patent-in-suit and that the
patent is valid. We believe that the jury's decision is wrong. The Court has not yet ruled. Should the Court render a final judgement against us, we will appeal. If we do not prevail, we may have to expend significant resources to pay damages.
In addition, third parties may attempt to appropriate our
confidential information and proprietary technologies and processes used in our business, which we may be unable to prevent. Existing laws of some countries in which we conduct business may offer only limited protection of our intellectual property
rights, if at all. We rely upon a combination of trade
12
Table of Contents
secrets, confidentiality policies, nondisclosure and other contractual arrangements, and patent, copyright and trademark laws to protect our
intellectual property rights; however, the steps we take in this regard may not be adequate to prevent or deter infringement or other misappropriation of our intellectual property, and we may not be able to detect unauthorized use or take
appropriate and timely steps to enforce our intellectual property rights.
If our mobile handset joint venture arrangement with Sony or other arrangements with strategic partners do not progress as planned, our business could be negatively impacted.
In 2001, we formed Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications, a joint venture
with Sony Corporation for the development, design, sales and distribution of mobile handsets, to which we transferred substantially all of our handset business. If this joint venture is unsuccessful on account of unsuccessful or delayed product
development, limited market acceptance of new products or for any other reason, we may not be able to compete successfully or at all in the mobile handset market. For example, the delayed launch of the joint venture's R600 handset had a
negative impact on its second quarter 2002 results. We have also entered into other strategic development arrangements with third parties, typically involving the contribution by each party of various resources including technology, research and
personnel, and we may continue to do so in the future. If these arrangements do not develop as expected, whether as a result of having incorrectly assessed our needs or the capabilities of our strategic partners, our ability to work with joint
venture partners or otherwise, our ability to develop new products and solutions may be constrained and this may harm our competitive position in the market. Additionally, charges relating to our portion of any losses from, or commitments to
contribute additional capital to, joint ventures may adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.
Changes to the regulatory environment for telecommunications systems and services could negatively impact our business.
Our industry is heavily regulated, and both our customers and we may be
affected by changes in regulation of telecommunications systems and services. For example, changes in regulation that impose more stringent, time-consuming or costly planning, zoning or building approval requirements regarding the construction of
base stations and other network infrastructure could adversely affect the timing and costs of new network construction or expansion and the commercial launch and ultimate commercial success of these networks. Expensive government license fees can
cause network operators to incur substantial indebtedness and fundamentally affect operators' businesses, profitability and financial condition, as well as the orders and services network operators place with or require from suppliers of
network systems and services such as us. Similarly, tariff regulation that adversely affects the pricing of new services could affect the sales of our systems and services. Environmental, health and safety and privacy regulations may increase costs
and restrict operations of telecommunications companies and network operators. The indirect impact of these changes in regulation could affect our business adversely even though the specific regulations do not directly apply to us or our products.
We are subject to regulatory, foreign exchange and other risks
associated with international operations.
We
conduct business in over 140 countries around the world with the majority of our sales originating from countries in Western Europe and the Asia Pacific region. Changes in regulatory requirements, tariffs and other trade barriers, price or exchange
controls or other governmental policies in the countries in which we conduct business could limit operations and make the repatriation of profits difficult. In addition, the uncertainty of the legal environment in some regions could limit our
ability to enforce our rights. Our results could also be materially adversely affected by weak economic conditions in countries in which we do significant business as well as by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, which can introduce
significant volatility to our rates of growth. We also have extensive operations in emerging markets such as China, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa which involves certain risks, including volatility in gross domestic product, civil
disturbances, economic and governmental instability, nationalization of private assets and the imposition of exchange controls. Please see Item 11 "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk".
We are dependent upon hiring and retaining highly qualified management and other
employees.
Our future success depends in part on
our continued ability to hire, develop, motivate and retain engineers and other qualified personnel needed to develop successful new products, support our existing product range and provide services to our customers. There can be no assurance that
we will continue to be successful in attracting and retaining highly qualified employees in the future, especially in light of our prior and planned headcount reductions.

Table of Contents
Systems
We offer a complete portfolio of solutions to operators for both mobile systems and wireline multi-service networks. Our solutions include a
comprehensive portfolio of telecommunication and data communication products supported by a full range of implementation and network management services. We sell our systems and services to over 500 operators worldwide. We work closely with our
customers to understand their businesses and their technology needs and design tailored solutions to help them reach their strategic objectives.
Mobile Systems—Industry and Technology
We provide mobile systems solutions to network operators that enable reliable, efficient and cost effective wireless networking. Wireless networking
refers to communications networks that allow end-users to receive voice and data communications using mobile handsets or other wireless devices. Wireless communications networks are often grouped by the technology upon which they are based:
•
First generation of wireless communication, or 1G, refers to analog radio and analog and/or digital circuit switching technologies mainly for mobile voice communications.
Circuit switching technology establishes a connection on demand and holds it open, regardless of whether data is sent;
•
Second generation wireless communication, or 2G, refers to digital radio and digital circuit switching technologies that enable networks to carry voice communications and
limited data transmissions. The majority of wireless communications networks are currently based on 2G wireless technologies. Many 2G networks have been enhanced with packet-switched transmission capabilities for more efficient data communication. A
packet-based network is one in which data is sent in small chunks, called packets. There is no fixed path from the sender to the receiver, so each packet must identify the source and destination. This is often referred to as 2.5G; and
•
Third generation wireless communication, or 3G, refers to digital wireless communication networks based on packet-switched network technology that enables voice, high-speed
data and multi-media communications.
Each
generation of wireless technology is associated with different international technology standards for wireless communications networks. Transitioning from one generation to the next, such as from 2G to 3G, requires network operators and mobile
handset manufacturers to adopt new and emerging technology standards. We believe that the migration from basic voice services to mobile multi-media services is the primary technological shift facing today's wireless network operators.
The most widely deployed standards today are largely
comprised of 2G technologies and can be summarized as follows:
•
Global System for Mobile communications,
or GSM, is used throughout the world and is the most widely deployed standard. GSM is a 2G wireless technology that uses time
slots within a specified radio frequency channel to distinguish one call from another.
•
Code Division Multiple Access,
or CDMA (also known as cdmaOne), is used in both the Americas and increasingly in Asia. CDMA is a 2G wireless technology that uses coding
technology to distinguish one call from another, with all calls in a specific cell transmitted over the entire range of radio frequencies assigned to the network operator.
•
Time Division Multiple Access,
or TDMA, is used primarily in North and South America. TDMA is a 2G wireless standard that, like GSM, uses time slots within a radio
frequency channel to separate users' conversations.
•
Personal Digital Cellular,
or PDC, is a digital wireless standard based on TDMA technology used only in Japan.
The standards for 3G networks are as follows:
•
Wideband Code Division Multiple Access,
or WCDMA, is a 3G wireless technology that combines wideband (5 MHz (megahertz)) and CDMA-based radio access.
•
Universal Mobile Telecommunications System,
or UMTS, is often used synonymously with WCDMA. UMTS is the term used for the combination of the WCDMA radio standard and
advanced switching technologies when used in the 2.1 GHz (gigahertz) band, as is the case in Europe. UMTS includes WCDMA radio access technologies and core network specifications that are based on the GSM standard.
•
Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution,
or EDGE, is used to give 3G capabilities to networks based on the GSM standard and TDMA technology.
•
CDMA
2000 1
XEV
/
DO
is used for CDMA networks that are evolving to 3G standard for voice and high-speed data mobility.
As described above, several technology standards have been deployed to
enable the 2G mobile communication networks that are in operation today. The path of migration from a 2G network to a 3G network varies depending on the technology used by the existing 2G network. As a result, in order to provide tailored solutions
to a wide range of today's network operators, infrastructure providers must have a fundamental understanding of all existing and emerging standards. The network components for 3G networks are similar to GSM/GPRS networks with the addition of
multi-service network nodes that are capable of more efficiently transmitting both circuit and packet switched traffic. The 3G networks to be introduced by GSM network operators will use the same GSM/GPRS core network components to take advantage of
previous investments in their existing network in evolving from 2G to 3G.
17
Table of Contents
In addition, due to the
complexity and costs of implementing a 3G network, many network operators are upgrading their networks to intermediate technologies, such as GPRS and CDMA2000 1X. Such intermediate technologies are often referred to as "2.5G" services and
can be described as follows:
•
GPRS
is an enhancement of GSM networks. GPRS introduces packet-switched data transmission and enables "always on" mobility. The implementation of GPRS
requires software upgrades to an existing GSM network and the addition of packet-switching nodes.
•
CDMA
2000 1
X
is a successor to the CDMA standard that enables higher-speed wireless networks for data, voice and multi-media communication. Ultimately,
networks using CDMA2000 1X will need to be further upgraded in order to provide capacity levels equivalent to CDMA/EDGE.
2.5G allows operators to migrate end-users to premium services without the need for major network reconstruction. This migration, however, will
represent a fundamental change in the way services are managed and billed by network operators. Due to 2.5G packet-switched data and "always-on" functionality, network operators may charge end-users for the type and amount of data they
send and receive rather than the time they are connected to the network. The transition to a charge-for-data business model is a crucial step in the evolution of network operators, as successful migration of network operators to 3G systems in the
future is expected to require the adoption of a similar business model. Thus, if migration to 2.5G with new business models becomes successful, market demand and some network preparations will already be in place for 3G migration.
Mobile Systems—Our Solutions
We believe we are the leading supplier of mobile telecommunication
systems, including 2G, 2.5G and 3G. Our expertise in all major 2G standards and our role in developing 3G standards allow us to offer mobile telecommunications systems that incorporate each of the major 2G, 2.5G and 3G mobile technology standards.
As a result, we are able to offer tailored solutions to a network operator regardless of the existing standard used in its network. Our systems offering includes cell site equipment, radio base stations, base station controllers and radio network
controllers, mobile switching centers, service application nodes and other nodes for billing and operations support. A node is an element of a network, which can be programmed for switching, routing, generating billing records and other functions.
Sales of our mobile telecommunications systems consist
primarily of radio base stations, base station controllers and switching centers. Radio base stations provide access and interconnection between mobile handsets and the mobile network. Base station controllers manage the traffic between the radio
base stations and mobile switching centers, which are the nodes between the radio system and the public-switched telephone network. Base station controllers, in conjunction with mobile switching centers, effect call handovers between radio base
stations as subscribers move between cell sites while engaged in a voice call or data transmission. We offer a complete portfolio of radio base stations ranging from small pico cells (i.e., small cells in a mobile network that boost capacity and
coverage within buildings) to high capacity macro cell applications. Our mobile switching center and base station controller are built from a common switching platform, allowing them to be configured into multi-functional nodes. This reduces the
initial cost of circuit switching for smaller networks while providing the flexibility to easily expand capacity in the future. Another central feature of all our 2G GSM radio base stations and base station controllers is their ability to be
upgraded on a cost-effective basis to enable 2.5G GPRS and 3G EDGE transmissions. Like our radio base station products, our mobile switching center products have industry-leading scalability and capacity. Our GSM radio base stations represent more
than one third of all GSM radio base stations in service globally.
We also offer a full line of transmission systems using either wireless or optical technologies. These systems are the transmission links between the nodes of a mobile network. We offer microwave radio links that can be used to
"backhaul" the traffic between radio base stations and base station controllers as well as between base station controllers and mobile switching centers. Wireless backhauling (i.e., transporting data and voice from a network access point
to a central switching point in mobile systems) with microwave radio links reduces the need for the operator to lease transmission capacity from wireline operators resulting in significant cost savings for the wireless operator. Our MINI-LINK is one
of the market leaders for such backhaul applications, with thousands of links deployed. A new generation of MINI-LINK systems is now being introduced with an expanded capacity to support the increased traffic demands of Mobile Internet and 3G, as
well as to serve the market for fixed wireless broadband access.
By offering comprehensive upgrade paths for migrating to high speed/high-capacity networks, we allow maximum use of existing equipment and previous investments, thereby improving network operators' capital investment returns. We
believe that this approach is of central importance today because most network operators are capital constrained at present. We believe that our ability to meet the diverse technology needs of our customers with high value-added solutions has been
instrumental in our being chosen as a provider of wireless communication equipment to the world's 10 largest mobile network operators. We believe that these operators account for more than 50 percent of all subscribers in the world and we
expect their share to increase with continued industry consolidation.

Our mobile
telecommunications systems offering extends beyond assisting network operators in optimizing and upgrading network functionality. We also offer a suite of Mobile Internet products, services and applications that enable network operators, Internet
Service Providers and content providers to develop commercial opportunities presented by new systems. Our products and applications enable services such as messaging, personalization services, information services, entertainment services,
location-based services and m-commerce. For example, we are actively developing the next generation of messaging services called Multimedia Messaging (MMS). We have also established Ericsson Mobility World, a global network of regional centers and
global and local web-based facilities. This open industry-wide initiative is a growing global network of more than 100,000 registered technology professionals from a diverse base of companies, working in partnership toward successfully implementing
the Mobile Internet.
Multi-Service Networks—Industry and
Technology
The last decade has seen a dramatic
increase in the volume of data that is being transmitted through wireline networks. The development of the Internet and network connectivity, in addition to increasing amounts of multi-media, data and voice transmissions, have placed severe strains
on the capacity limitations of existing wireline networks. Modern networks must also be able to reliably connect voice calls in real time while transmitting irregular, and often very large, bursts of data. Many network operators currently manage
multiple networks to accommodate voice, data, video and Internet transmissions. Multiple networks, however, are expensive to maintain and costly to upgrade.
Wireline network operators are moving from single-service networks toward new multi-service networks that have the ability to simultaneously handle
multiple services, such as voice, text and images. Offering these services requires wireline operators to migrate from existing circuit-switched networks to packet-switched networks. Circuit switched voice services, however, are the primary revenue
generator for today's wireline network operators and a key area for continued profitability. As a result, network operators are required to strike a careful balance between making short-term investments in circuit-switched products to protect
current revenues and long-term investments in packet-switching technology to prepare for the future. In addition, due to the difficult economic climate and volatile financial market conditions, many network operators have been forced to reduce
capital expenditure budgets and implement cost-reduction measures without compromising new and existing business ventures.
Multi-Service Networks—Our Solutions
We offer multi-service networking solutions to fixed-line operators. We have a long history in wireline networking with an installed base of access
and transit lines equivalent to 160 million lines out of approximately 1.5 billion lines globally. We supply wireline operators with systems solutions that allow them to start to upgrade their legacy networks to efficiently handle a mix of voice,
data, video and Internet traffic. Our solutions for multi-service networking include systems and services for circuit switching, next generation (packet-switched) networking and broadband (i.e., a channel with more than two megabits per second of
bandwidth). These solutions enable network operators to start to replace multiple networks with a unified multi-service network capable of handling all of these services. The primary systems and services we offer for multi-service networking are our
AXE solution and our ENGINE solution.
Our circuit-switched
solutions are based on our AXE product range, which is our open architecture communication platform and the basis for our wireline and mobile systems. AXE is one of the most widely used switching systems in the industry today. AXE systems have been
deployed in 135 countries, connecting more than 500 million wireline and mobile subscribers. Our AXE products include local switching centers that interconnect individual access lines from homes and businesses to the telephone network and transit
switching centers that interconnect local switching centers for calls between subscribers connected to different local switches. By establishing a transit-switching layer, operators are able to minimize the number of trunks or inter-switch
connections between switching centers and optimize the traffic routes within their network.
Our AXE solutions are tailored to meet specific needs for different types of operators, from local dial tone providers to long distance providers. A full range of software-based supplementary subscriber services
(such as Centrex, our business services package, call forwarding and caller ID) are available for additional revenue streams. These service capabilities are continuously enhanced and expanded to ensure that the operators using AXE are able to offer
the latest and most competitive subscriber features to their customers.
Our AXE-based circuit switching solutions are designed to safeguard operators' current profitability, while helping them prepare for the future through continuous enhancements. The latest AXE switch is a first step in a
migration to a packet-based multi-service network. Investments in AXE support a transition to Ericsson's ENGINE multi-service network solution.
19
Table of Contents
Our proprietary ENGINE
solution is the world's leading solution for upgrading narrowband networks to packet switched networks. ENGINE enables networks to migrate from a traditional circuit-based network to a packet-based network. This migration to a packet-based
network is a necessary step in order to combine broadband Internet, voice and data traffic into one multi-service network rather than three separate networks.
We attribute part of the success of our ENGINE solution to our pragmatic approach to migration and network evolution. We recognize that, for most
operators, building an entirely new network is prohibitively expensive. By offering solutions that provide flexible paths for network migration and evolution, we satisfy the objective of the network operator to offer multiple services on a
cost-effective basis. Offering this flexibility and scalability is fundamental to the success of our ENGINE solution.
Services
We have the ability to offer a comprehensive range of services to support network operators. These services include advisory services, integration
services and management services. Our services organization has technical knowledge to support fixed networks, data (IP and ATM) and all major mobile network technologies.
We believe that services play an important role in our business. Network operators are focusing increasingly on
reducing operating expenditures by optimizing the operation and maintenance of their existing networks. This trend has been reinforced by current constraints on the ability of many network operators' capital expenditure. As a result, an
increasing number of network operators are outsourcing network design, operations and maintenance activities. Our comprehensive portfolio of services can be customized or sold in packages to meet the needs of existing and new network operators. We
have established the following broad categories of service areas.
Advisory services
We provide
consulting services to network operators for business planning and development, design and optimization of networks and the introduction of new services and management solutions. Our global competence development program is designed to provide
network operators with training and education in order to improve staff competency and develop skills in new product areas.
Integration services
We provide services designed to make it possible for network operators to implement new technologies and applications in a swift and cost-effective
manner. This area is comprised of solutions for the roll-out of new networks, integration of end-user applications or migration from one network standard to another such as from 2G to 3G through network implementation and integration, site
acquisition and civil works activities.
Management
services
Our portfolio of management services is
designed to assist network operators to provide uninterrupted service and operate their networks efficiently. It also includes solutions for managing service levels by providing customers with technical assistance, system maintenance and repair and
return. We also have the ability to assume full responsibility over network operations and we have signed over 30 contracts to operate networks on behalf of network operators.
Phones
Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications
In October 2001, we formed Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications as a 50/50 joint venture with Sony Corporation. We retained the intellectual property
relating to our core handset technology.
In association
with the Sony Ericsson joint venture, we can provide a full range of mobile handsets, including multi-mode devices that combine different radio technologies, enabling subscribers to roam between networks and facilitating easy migration from 2G to
3G. Our 50 percent ownership interest in Sony Ericsson also allows us to monitor the requirements and preferences of the end-user market for mobile handsets, which we see as an important driver for our mobile systems business and supports our
ability to provide end-to-end systems to our customers.
We
believe that as data-enabled GPRS and 3G handsets begin to penetrate the marketplace, product design along with the availability of games, music and other applications will take on an increasingly important role in the end-user marketplace. Our
partnership with Sony allows us to combine our knowledge of advanced mobile telecommunications technologies with Sony's multi-media operations and its expertise in developing, designing and branding household consumer electronic devices, such
as the Walkman and Playstation. We entered into licensing arrangements to provide platform technology to the joint venture. The Sony Ericsson joint venture markets a full range of advanced multi-media mobile handsets under the brand names
"Sony", "Ericsson" and "Sony Ericsson". Substantially all current products are marketed under the "Sony Ericsson" brand.

generally 45–60 days. The Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications joint venture has outsourced the majority of production of mobile handsets to Flextronics but also uses other contract manufacturers. A number of our suppliers design and manufacture
highly specialized and customized components for our networks. Although we work closely with our suppliers to avoid shortages and ensure alternative sources of supply, we may not have immediate access to alternative sources of supply for highly
specialized components, see Item 3D "Risk Factors", "Risks Associated with our Business—If our outside suppliers fail to deliver satisfactory components and manufacturing services on time, our financial results could be
negatively impacted."
We work closely with our
suppliers and consult with them regularly at the executive, management and operational levels with regard to our production requirements and design specifications. We believe that this strategy has allowed us to foster strong relationships with
quality suppliers.
CUSTOMERS
We supply mobile systems to most major wireless network operators, for
example, in Europe to Hutchison, KPN, Orange, T-Mobile, Telecom Italia Mobile, Telefónica, and Vodafone; in North America to AT&T Wireless and Cingular; and in Asia Pacific to China Mobile, China Unicom, NTT DoCoMo, SingTel and Telstra.
We provide our multi-service network systems to large wireline operators around the world including BT (British Telecom), China Telecom, Telefónica and Telmex, among others. In 2002, approximately 50 percent of our net sales were attributable
to our ten largest customers and approximately 65 percent to our 20 largest customers.
SALES, MARKETING AND SUPPORT
We
use a direct sales force to market and sell our systems and services to customers in over 140 countries. We divide our sales and marketing operations into three primary market areas:
•
Europe, Middle East and Africa;
•
North, South and Central America; and
•
Asia Pacific.
These primary markets are further subdivided into a total of 35 market units, with each typically representing a single country or a group of
countries depending on the extent of our business activities in that region. The majority of these market units operate locally through subsidiaries that are present in those countries. We use our local knowledge to help our customers move into new
markets and our global scale to enable them to achieve greater efficiencies and access to recognized world-class resources wherever they operate. In addition to our market units, we also operate global customer units that provide focused sales and
marketing activities targeted at our large multinational customers.
Our market and global customer units are responsible for every stage of the sales cycle, including identifying opportunities, tailoring our solutions to the needs of individual customer, and integrating our products into the
customer's network environment. The market and global customer units rely on the expertise of primary business units in tailoring and integrating our products for delivery to customers. As of December 31, 2002 these business units are:
•
Systems: Mobile Systems (WCDMA/EDGE/GSM/GPRS/TDMA and PDC), Multi-Service Networks and Data Backbone;
•
Mobile Systems: CDMA;
•
Global Services; and
•
Transmission and Transport Networks.
The market and global customer units are also responsible forafter-sales support and rely in particular on the Global Services business unit in
fulfilling this function. Frequently, a market unit and customer unit will work together in providing products, solutions and services to our large customers.
Our market and global customer units focus on offering systems and services related to mobile systems and wireline multi-service networks.
Businesses in our Other operations segment market their systems and services through internal sales and marketing functions. Often these internal sales and marketing teams work with our market and global customer units in approaching certain markets
or large customers with whom we have a relationship.
RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT
We believe that our future success
depends to a large parton our continuing ability to deliver systems and services based on advanced technologies. Accordingly, while we have already rationalized significantly among our research and development activities and our currently planned
cost reduction measures involve further reductions in research and development spending, we remain committed to continue to make significant investments in research and development that is core to our future business, in particular in 3G technology.
As of December 31, 2002, we had over 20,000 employees actively engaged in research and development. During 2002, our research and development expenses was SEK 29.3 billion, or 20 percent of net sales.
22
Table of Contents
Our research activities
are focused on technologies and standards that are three to 10 years away from implementation. We are currently conducting innovative research in areas such as all IP-based networks, multi-carrier power amplifiers and in systems beyond 3G
technologies. We are also continuing to conduct research into advanced 3G technologies based on WCDMA.
Our product development teams usually work with technologies that are less than three years away from commercialization and focus on developing
products rather than the underlying technologies themselves. Our product pipeline currently includes end-to-end solutions for all 3G technologies, such as WCDMA, CDMA2000 and EDGE. In addition, it includes products and enablers for Mobile Internet,
broadband and fixed-line solutions.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND LICENSING
As of December 31, 2002, we held over 12,000 patents
worldwide. In addition, we hold numerous trademarks all over the world. We believe that patent and trademark protection is an integral part of our business and complements the technological expertise, innovative talent and marketing capabilities of
our employees. See Item 3D "Risk Factors", "Risks Associated with our Business. Our business and results of operations will be harmed if we are found to have infringed intellectual property rights of third parties, or if we are unable
to protect our intellectual property rights from challenges or unauthorized third party use." By entering into cross-license agreements and acquiring licenses when appropriate, we seek to minimize our exposure to other patent holders.
Through many years of involvement in the development of
new mobile technologies, we have built up a considerable portfolio of essential intellectual property rights relating to advanced mobile telecommunications technologies. We hold a substantial number of essential patents related to WCDMA, and
numerous essential patents related to other 3G standards, including CDMA2000 and EDGE. We also hold important patents for many other areas including ATM, WAP, WLAN, mobile platforms and Bluetooth.
Our intellectual property rights are valuable business assets and we
license these rights to some other infrastructure suppliers, but also to a number of handset manufacturers and wireless applications developers, in return of royalty payments.
JOINT VENTURES, COOPERATION ARRANGEMENTS AND VENTURE CAPITAL
In addition to our joint venture with Sony, which we describe in Item 4B "Business Overview", we are engaged
in joint ventures, cooperation arrangements and venture capital initiatives with a number of industry participants.
Ericsson Juniper Networks Mobile IP
In November of 2000, we formed a company with Juniper Networks, named Ericsson Juniper Networks Mobile IP, of which we own 60 percent. This venture
combines our mobile IP expertise with Juniper's experience in IP routing systems to facilitate the interaction between mobile voice networks and IP data networks. The joint venture provides Mobile Internet routing products to customers
including Internet Service Provider's and wireless network operators building GPRS and 3G networks.
Symbian
We
also participate in the development of the EPOC wireless operating system through approximately 19 percent ownership interest in Symbian. Symbian was established as a private company in June 1998 and is jointly owned by Ericsson, Nokia, Matsushita
(Panasonic), Motorola, Psion, Sony Ericsson and Siemens. Symbian is a software licensing company that supplies the Symbian Operating System for data-enabled mobile handsets. Our involvement in Symbian helps to promote and develop this advanced, open
operating system, which we believe will be instrumental in facilitating the growth of the Mobile Internet.
Venture Capital
In order to support the development of Mobile Internet applications, systems and services, we continue to participate in a number venture capital investments. We make direct investments through our operating subsidiaries in companies
that are strategic to our core businesses. We also make direct investments in smaller start-up companies through our Business Innovation group. In addition to direct investments, we have also formed joint ventures to facilitate and support our
venture capital activities. For example, Ericsson Venture Partners was formed in 2000 together with Investor AB, AB Industrivärden and Merrill Lynch. The venture focuses on investments in the communications industry in Europe, the Americas and
the Middle East with particular emphasis on the Mobile Internet market.

PARENT COMPANY OPERATIONS
The business of our parent company,
Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson, consists mainly of corporate management and holding company functions. Parent company operations also include internal banking and customer credit management activities performed by Ericsson Treasury Services AB and
Ericsson Credit AB. As of December 31, 2002, our parent company had branch and representative offices in 16 countries and had approximately 1,300 employees.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
We are party to a variety of legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business involving allegations of breach of contract, improper
delivery of goods or services, product liability, infringement of intellectual property rights and other matters.
We are subject to claims that mobile handsets and other telecommunications devices that generate electromagnetic fields expose users to health
risks. At present, a substantial number of scientific studies conducted by various independent research bodies have indicated that electromagnetic fields, at levels within the limits prescribed by public health authority safety standards and
recommendations, cause no adverse effect to human health.
Like other companies operating in the telecommunications industry, because our products comprise complex technology, we experience litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. Third parties have asserted, and
in the future may assert, claims against us alleging that we infringe their intellectual property rights. If we do not succeed in any such litigation, we could be required to expend significant resources to pay damages, develop non-infringing
products/technology or to obtain licenses to the products/technology which is the subject of such litigation. However, we cannot be certain that any such licenses, if available at all, will be available to us on commercially reasonable terms. Also,
defending these claims may be expensive and divert the efforts of our management and technical personnel. In particular, we are currently party to a lawsuit (Harris Corp.) where the plaintiff alleges that we have infringed one of their U.S. patents
through our sales of certain GSM and TDMA products in the United States. The jury found on October 30, 2002 that we had willfully infringed the one patent-in-suit and that the patent is valid. We believe that the jury's decision is wrong. The
Court has not yet ruled. Should the Court render a final judgment against us, we will appeal. While we are confident that we ultimately will prevail in this lawsuit, there can be no assurances thereof. If we do not prevail, we may have to expend
significant resources to pay damages.
In March 17, 2003,
we announced a settlement with InterDigitalCommunicatuions Corporation (Interdigital), along with its subsidiary, InterDigital Technology Corporation (ITC), relating to patent infringement claims. Under the settlement agreement, ITC has granted a
non-exclusive, world wide, royalty-bearing license covering all of ITC's patents for GSM, TDMA (D-AMPS), GPRS, EDGE and PDC, in exchange for which Ericsson and Sony Ericsson have agreed to pay ITC a fixed amount of approximately USD 34 million
for sales through December 2002, in addition to an annual fee of USD 6 million for sales of infrastructure equipment during the period of 2003–2006 and royalty payments on each licensed mobile phone product sold during the same period.
Like several hundreds of other companies, asbestos claims
are brought against Ericsson in the U.S. The claims are related to the Anaconda Wire & Cable business within Ericsson's joint venture with Atlantic Richfield formed in 1980. This business was later merged fully into Ericsson and in 1988
sold to Alcatel. Anaconda manufactured cables for the US Navy during 1946–51 that contained small amounts of asbestos, well below the applicable safety limits. The liability for the navy cables has remained with Ericsson and we have been
targeted with lawsuits since 1983. Since then, Ericsson has successfully defended all asbestos lawsuits. We have insurance coverage for those lawsuits, however no payments from this coverage have been made to claimants.
COMPETITORS
In our Mobile Systems and Multi-Service Networks segments, we compete with large and established communications
equipment manufacturers. Although competition varies depending on the products and services, our most significant competitors in wireless communication include Alcatel, Lucent, Motorola, Nokia, Nortel and Siemens. With respect to wireline
communication equipment, the competition is less concentrated and includes, among others, Alcatel, Cisco, Lucent, Nortel and Siemens. We also compete with numerous local and regional manufacturers and providers of communication equipment and
services. We expect the communication equipment market to continue to undergo consolidation, which should strengthen the surviving companies but decrease the number of competitors. In our view, financial strength will be a significant factor in this
process. We believe the most important competitive factors in this industry include existing customer relationships, the ability to cost-effectively upgrade or migrate the installed base, technological innovation, product design, compatibility of
products with industry standards, and the ability to attract and retain the key personnel necessary to develop successful products.
In our Other operations segment, our competitors vary widely depending on the product or service being offered. We face significant competition with
regard to substantially all of these products and services.

Item 5:    Operating and Financial Review and Prospects
The following review of our operating results, financial position and prospects should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated
financial statements, and the notes thereto, as of and for each of the three years ended December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002, included elsewhere in this Annual Report. Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
Swedish GAAP. For a reconciliation of net income (loss) and stockholders' equity to U.S. GAAP, and a discussion of the significant differences between U.S. GAAP and Swedish GAAP affecting our financial statements, see Note 29 to the Financial
Statements.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS' REPORT
Below follows Board of Directors' Report prepared according to
statutory requirements per Swedish GAAP.
STRATEGY AND GOALS
Ericsson's core business is to be a preferred
vendor of carrier-class telecommunication systems and services to leading operators of mobile and fixed networks. We believe that we are the leading supplier of mobile communication systems, including 2G, 2.5G and 3G systems, and we have a strong
position in solutions for fixed networks regarding next generation of IP-based communication of voice and data.
During the last two years, the telecommunications industry has seen a dramatic downturn from the phenomenal growth during the years 1997 to 2000. As
this is an industry with relatively few but large vendors and customers, it takes time for the industry to adjust to such a large decline in the market as the one we have been exposed to recently. Consequently, the last years have been characterized
by negative results reported by most vendors and massive restructuring efforts and layoffs.
This said, however, we want to emphasize that we have a positive long-term view of the market. We strongly believe this is a growth industry. The need for telecommunications is still large and growing. The
penetration of mobile telephony worldwide is only 18 percent. Many countries have penetration levels as high as 70–80 percent, but many developing countries are still below 5 percent. There are now more than 1.1 billion mobile subscribers in
the world, with around 190 million new subscribers added in 2002, i.e. more than 500,000 subscribers per day. We believe that the number of mobile subscribers remains on track to exceed 1.5 billion within three years, with 165–180 million net
additions anticipated in 2003.
The penetration of fixed
line telephony is approximately 17 percent. The subscriber base is, however, almost the same as for mobile, and the combined penetration is still below 20 percent. Accordingly, there is a large growth potential in increasing the number of
subscribers. In addition, we expect the usage per subscriber to increase due to lower tariffs, new applications and services. On top of this, next generation networks will add data traffic and we will see more machine-to-machine communications in
mobile and fixed networks.
Our customer base includes most
of the largest mobile network operators, many of which operating on a regional or global scale. Our strategy is to develop products and systems to offer the best solutions to these sophisticated customers, to expand our business through increased
focus on value added services, and to be present where the customer's business is.
Mobile operators are becoming fewer and larger through mergers and acquisitions and organic growth. The 20 largest operators together now serve 75 percent of all subscribers worldwide. Ericsson is a supplier to
18 of the 20.
Our goal is to maintain and improve our
market leadership in combination with a recovery of our financial performance. For 2003, we believe we will be able to maintain our market share in mobile systems, and in the current uncertain environment we focus on reducing costs and adjusting to
the market conditions. We recognize that it is necessary to provide a competitive return on our shareholders' investments, and our intention is to return to profit some time this year.
MARKET ENVIRONMENT
In line with industry consensus, we believe the mobile systems market declined by approximately 20 percent during 2002
to an estimated USD 42 billion. This was due in part to over-investments in 2001 with excess capacity as a result. In 2002, many operators also had to postpone needed expenditures to conserve cash and improve their financial position, due to the
negative sentiment in the financial markets regarding the telecom industry. Consequently, the service quality of many networks decreased beyond our expectations during the year. In our opinion there is a need for increased capacity in many markets.
The implementation of third generation (3G) networks also developed somewhat slower than we anticipated due to financial problems of certain operators, unavailability of handsets as well as issues in several markets regarding building permits for
sites and towers.
The market for fixed infrastructure,
which includes traditional circuit-switching, broadband access, optical transmission and multi-service networks, declined by more than 30 percent during 2002.
Complementing the infrastructure market, there is a large and growing opportunity for providing services to network operators. Excluding network
rollout services, which are embedded within the systems infrastructure market, the available market in 2003 for professional services is estimated
26
Table of Contents
to be approximately USD 30 billion, with a compounded annual growth rate of more than 10 percent. Professional services include systems integration,
network operations outsourcing as well as a range of other advisory and operational support services.
In the current downturn for infrastructure, competition among vendors increased. Price pressure intensified on both 2G equipment and for new 3G
contracts. As we are accustomed to a certain degree of price erosion every year, we believe that we have been able to cope with this increased competition reasonably well.
Our sales declined by 31 percent for comparable units. We believe we kept our market share in mobile systems despite
this, however, as the decline is, to a large extent, attributable to low sales of TDMA and PDC systems. The overall market for these technologies declined sharply and we have previously had a relatively large share of our sales in these areas. Our
sales in GSM/WCDMA declined by only 14 percent, indicating a sustained strong market position. We have also mitigated our decline through increased focus on services sales. Our sales of value added services such as network integration, network
management and consulting increased year over year by 11 percent and now constitute 15 percent (9 percent) of total Systems sales.

The decline in
sales during 2002 was largest in Latin America due to local macro-economic conditions. The planned shift in the region from TDMA technology to GSM was stalled. In North America this shift generated good demand and the overall decline was moderate.
In Europe the subscriber growth was moderate, as the penetration is already high and third generation investments have not yet picked up momentum. It is in Europe the effects of financial constraints on operators' capital expenditures were most
visible, due to the effects of the previous investments in licenses and acquisitions of other operators. In Asia Pacific, the decline was largely attributable to China, where the investments in 2001 created excess capacity which has been reduced
during 2002, and Japan, where a sharp decline in investments in PDC technology was not offset by corresponding WCDMA volumes.
Financial Markets
The telecom industry is currently in a correction phase after the abnormal growth in 1997—2000 and over-investments in certain markets in 2001.
This has affected the financial market's view of the industry and access to capital has been severely restricted for many operators and vendors. The rating agencies have also continued to lower their ratings. Both Moody's and Standard
& Poor's downgraded Ericsson and other telecom industry players on several occasions.
In this financial market environment, we successfully managed to secure additional funding through a stock issue that raised SEK 29 billion net in increased cash.
Partnerships and Joint Ventures
Handsets and terminals are an important element of our end-to-end
strategy—i.e. to be able to offer our customers solutions that work with carrier-class performance and reliability. Our joint venture with Sony, Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications, is therefore an important partnership. Compared with the large
losses in our handset operations in previous years, our strategy to right-size and then find a partner has developed well. Sony and we have demonstrated our continued full commitment to this exciting business by announcing that we will increase our
investment by EUR 150 million each in the beginning of 2003, to provide Sony Ericsson increased working capital for expected growth.
We also cooperate with Juniper Networks for data backbone solutions, and we continue to work with external application developers in Ericsson
Mobility World to stimulate the creation of applications for 3G.
Products, R&D and IPR
We have
reviewed our products and services thoroughly and consolidated them into a clear and integrated portfolio. We now focus our efforts on the most valuable products for our customers: GSM, ENGINE, AXE and 3G. We have outsourced non-core products and
services to partners and discontinued or sold others. This and the ongoing concentration of R&D sites are key elements for our return to profit. We have not let our cost cutting harm our core products, and we continue to enhance our patent
portfolio, which we believe is one of the strongest in the industry. In addition to licensing of mobile platform technology, we have also entered into license agreements for systems technology with Samsung and Huawei during the year.
The major part of our R&D efforts have been focused on strengthening
our market-leading position in mobile systems. The results are strong enhancements in our product portfolio for both 2G and 3G, with increased width regarding both standards and frequency bands, new functionality, improved performance and increased
cost efficiency for our customers and us.

FINANCIAL RESULTS
Income before taxes was SEK –23.3 billion, a SEK 7.0 billion lower
loss compared to SEK –30.3 billion in 2001. Excluding approximately SEK 9 billion of items affecting comparability each year, adjusted income before tax was SEK –14.5 and –21.1 billion respectively. The net improvement of SEK 6.6
billion is a result of a sharp reduction in the previous losses in Phones, partially offset by a loss for Systems:

Items affecting
comparability were SEK –8.8 (–9.2) billion, consisting of certain capital gains, restructuring costs and the net effect in 2002 of SEK 3.2 billion of capitalization of development costs. We adjust this amount for comparability purposes
since 2002 is the first year of capitalization and development costs are reduced with SEK 3.2 billion net, as there is not yet a representative accumulated capitalized base to amortize.
The net effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates compared to the rates one year earlier was positive by SEK
1.7 billion. The effects were positive in the first three quarters but changed to a negative of SEK –0.1 billion in the fourth quarter due to the decline in the value of USD. The negative effect was delayed due to hedging.
Segment Results
Systems
Orders booked, net, for Systems declined by 37 percent from 2001 to SEK 115 billion. Adjusted for order cancellations, however, order intake decline
was 30 percent. Orders, net, declined less for GSM/WCDMA  –25 percent. Bookings for the mature mobile technologies TDMA and PDC were down around 80 percent, and orders for multi-service networks decreased more than 50 percent.
Services orders were 30 percent (23 percent) of total orders.
We won some important contracts regarding multi-media services (MMS) with Vodafone, Telecom Italia Mobile, Amena, Wind, China Mobile, Orange, Telenor, Telcel and others, and we participated in the world's first full-scale MMS
launch in Hungary. We are happy to see that these new types of services are picking up momentum. We were also booking orders for WLAN solutions to complement GPRS and WCDMA technology in "hot spots", such as airports and shopping malls.
We won a break-in contract for CDMA in China, which was strategically important fur us. We need to increase the volume of this business to make it profitable. On the fixed network side we continued to get ENGINE business in
Australia, China, Colombia, Egypt, Norway, Sweden and the UK, and we will deliver IP backbone products from our joint venture with Juniper to China, Germany and other markets. We secured contracts for outsourced network management in Belgium, Brazil
and Australia.
Net sales for Systems were SEK 132 (189)
billion, a decline of 30 percent year over year. GSM/WCDMA sales declined only 14 percent, indicating a continued very solid market position, whereas TDMA, PDC and fixed network equipment sales declined around 60 percent.
The reduced revenues could not be sufficiently compensated by lower
costs during the year. Adjusted operating income, excluding restructuring costs, the net effect of capitalization of development expenses and non-operational capital gains, was SEK –4.9 (3.2) billion.
Through restructuring efforts and reduced excess capacity, operating
income improved gradually over the year. Adjusted also for additional risk provisions for customer financing, adjusted operating income was positive SEK 0.2 billion and 0.4 billion respectively in the third and fourth quarters.
28
Table of Contents
Phones
The adjusted operating loss in Phones in year 2001, of SEK 14.6 billion
was sharply reduced to SEK 1.3 billion. This is a result of the dramatic restructuring and downsizing in 2001 and the partnering with Sony. The joint venture Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications started with a product portfolio inherited from the
joint venture partners and had a successful first quarter and reached break-even. A number of strong new products were created during 2002. Certain delays in launches of new products, however, led to lower volumes than anticipated and resulted in a
full year loss before taxes.
Items adjusting income
consist of a net positive amount of SEK 0.2 billion related to restructuring of our previous handset business. Lagging costs of SEK 1.6 billion for inventory write-downs, scrapping and warranty costs were offset by an insurance compensation of SEK
1.8 billion related to damages as a consequence of a fire in a supplier's factory.
Sony Ericsson sold 22.9 million units during the year, which is approximately 6 percent of the estimated 395 million units sold-through worldwide. This should be compared to 390 million units sold-through in
2001. We believe that the total units sold-through during 2003 will be more than 430 million units.
Other Operations
Total sales in Other operations declined by 26 percent from last year. This is a net of sharp reductions for the Microelectronics, Network Technology and Enterprise operations, resulting in operating losses. Sales in our Defense
business were almost flat and the operations developed well. Revenue in the mobile platform licensing business increased strongly, with contracts with Sony Ericsson and also third party handset manufacturers, such as Benefon, GVC, LG Electronics,
Microcell and TCL Mobile communications. This business is still in investment mode and volumes are not yet sufficient to break even.
Other operations also include a couple of support units for internal IT-services and facility management. During the year, some excess space due to
employee reductions resulted in unabsorbed costs in the facility management unit.
Total adjusted operating income was SEK –4.7 (–5.1) billion. During the year, we sold parts of the Microelectronics unit to Infineon. We will continue to purchase products from Infineon, and we will also operate a
factory in Stockholm for Infineon during 2003 and 2004.
Financial
Income and Expenses, Taxes and Earnings per Share
Financial net improved from SEK –1.8 billion to SEK –1.5 billion. The main driver was income from the proceeds of the stock issue in September 2002. Financial expenses increased somewhat during the year as a result of
increased interest rates in our EMTN-program, triggered by several rating downgrades by Moody's and Standard and Poor's.
Minority interests were reduced due to lower income in units with minority holdings.
Income taxes for the year are net positive due to deferred tax assets recognized based on reported losses. However,
with insufficient taxable income reported in Sweden, certain foreign withholding taxes were not possible to deduct from income taxes in Sweden. In addition, rulings in tax court cases resulted in denied tax deductions for the capital discount on
convertible debentures and other costs.
Earnings per share
were SEK –1.51 (–1.94).
Balance Sheet, Financing and Cash
Flow
Total assets were reduced by SEK 50 billion or
almost 20 percent. The decrease was largely related to working capital, with inventory down SEK 11 billion and accounts receivable SEK 21 billion.
A new type of asset from 2002, due to implementation of new Swedish GAAP (RR15), is capitalized development expenses of SEK 3.2 billion.
Customer financing credits on-balance declined slightly,
despite the addition of a previous off-balance sheet credits, including SEK 4.1 billion to Mobilcom. As a consequence, off-balance sheet customer financing was reduced from SEK 13 billion to less than SEK 2 billion during 2002.
Due to further losses in 2002, deferred tax assets increased from SEK 21
billion at the beginning of the year to SEK 26 billion. Approximately half of this amount is related to temporary differences, i.e. cost is not yet claimed as a deduction in a tax return, and consequently no expiry time is currently consumed. The
remainder represents declared tax losses, of which the absolute majority is related to Sweden, with an unlimited period of utilization, or other countries with up to 20 years of utilization.
Cash and short-term cash investments decreased marginally from SEK 69
billion to SEK 66 billion, due to the net effect of repayment of debt and the cash infusion of SEK 29 billion from the stock issue.
Stockholders' equity increased by net SEK 5 billion, as the loss of SEK 19 billion and negative effects of changes in foreign currency exchange
rates of SEK 5 billion were offset by the SEK 29 billion addition from the stock issue. The equity ratio increased from 28 percent to 37 percent.
Interest-bearing liabilities were repaid over the year by SEK 29 billion, and net debt of SEK 21 billion at the end of 2001 was turned into a net
cash position of SEK 6 billion at the end of the year.
Cash flow before financing activities in 2002 was SEK –7.1 (6.7) billion. A negative cash flow from income of SEK –20.8 billion was partly compensated by reduced working capital of SEK 10.8 billion. There were substantial
reductions in inventory and accounts receivable, and we reached the goals of an inventory turnover of 5 times and days sales outstanding around 90. Capitalization of development expenses of SEK –3.4 billion is reported under investing
activities. Other investing

Table of Contents
activities generated SEK 6.4 billion, including releases of cash collaterals for off-balance sheet customer financing of SEK 3.3 billion, proceeds from
sales of parts of Microelectronics of SEK 2.3 billion and net sales of R&D units of SEK 0.5 billion. Cash flow improved gradually during the year and was positive in the fourth quarter by SEK 1.6 billion. Adjusting for one-offs, such as
dissolved customer finance off-balance sheet portfolio including Mobilcom credits of SEK 4.1 billion and R&D unit sales proceeds of SEK 0.5 billion, cash flow before financing activities in the fourth quarter was SEK 5.2 billion.
ORGANIZATION AND EMPLOYEES
Organization and Management
In the beginning of the year, the operations for Mobile Systems and
Multi-service Networks were merged to achieve synergies related to the increased demand for integrated wireless and wireline solutions with common service platforms and transport networks.
Restructuring program
In addition to the efficiency program launched in 2001, we implemented further restructuring measures in 2002. The actions in 2001 reduced the
run-rate in operating expenses by SEK 20 billion from SEK 88 billion to SEK 68 billion. The new measures are expected to reduce annual operating expenses by another SEK 30 billion and bring the run-rate to SEK 38 billion in the end of 2003.
Reductions in cost of sales are also planned in order to offset effects of price pressure and to improve the gross margin by 2–4 percentage points net.
During the year, numerous measures were taken to reduce costs and headcount.
•
Market units have been further reduced to lower selling expenses and achieve better resource utilization of implementation workforce. This has reduced excess capacity costs
and overhead costs
•
Workforce reductions were made in our own factories, and transfer of production to countries with lower costs was carried out or initiated for both outsourced and own
production
•
A substantial reduction in the number of local design centers was carried out from over 80 sites to around 40 with a target of 25
•
Costs for internal IS/IT operations were trimmed
•
In Sweden, some 20 legal entities were merged into one large operating company, Ericsson AB. We expect this will reduce operating expenses.
As a result, the annual run-rate in operating expenses was reduced from
SEK 68 billion in the beginning of the year to SEK 51 billion in the fourth quarter. The program is well on track to reach the target level of SEK 38 billion.
Employees
The planned restructuring efforts are intended to bring headcount below 60,000 employees at the end of 2003. The initiated restructuring activities,
including divestments, have reduced the number of employees by 24 percent during the year from 85,200 to 64,600 at year-end.
Employee compensation
Share-based compensation
Share-based compensation is based on Swedish practice regarding grant sizes and values. These are modest in comparison with international standards.
All executives and other key contributors are eligible, and vesting is on a time basis only. Most previous grants were made at strike prices well above the current market price, with the options now in so called under water status. Early in 2002, a
stock purchase plan was also launched under which employees are entitled to purchase Ericsson stock for a limited amount of their base salary. If the employee continues the employment with Ericsson for three years and keeps the shares, then the
Company will match the purchased shares one-for-one. All 35 million shares available under the program were reserved for future matching or utilized under the terms of the program during the year.
For the stock purchase plan, a compensation cost is recognized, based on
the market price on the employee's investment date, and allocated over the vesting period. Total salary cost for the stock purchase plan is approximately SEK 100 million per year over the three-year vesting period. In certain countries, social
security charges are to be paid when shares are matched based on the employee benefit. Such social security charges are accrued during the respective vesting periods.
In November 2002, 53 million additional options, with a strike price of SEK 7.80 were granted to employees as part of
the Stock Option Plan 2001–2002. The program consists of 7-year stock options, which vest gradually during three years with one third of granted options for each year of service. All of the available 101 million options in the plan have now
been granted during 2001 and 2002.
No salary costs are
recognized for our current stock option plans, as the strike prices have been equal to market prices at grant dates. This is in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Sweden. In certain countries, social security charges are to
be paid if and when options are used, based on the employee benefit.
We have estimated the effects on salary costs if employee stock options had been accounted for at fair value at grant date. (Please see Note 29 to the financial statements).

Table of Contents
Performance-based
compensation
A substantial part of executive
remuneration is performance-based. A part of an executive's salary is variable and depending on achievement of certain targets. The level of base pay plus variable pay is set to make it possible to reach a salary level equal to the upper
quartile level in the general industry. The variable portion of salary varies from 0 to 50 percent. For 2002, no payout was made to any executive or the approximately 200 top managers, since corporate performance targets were not met. However, for a
number of non-executive managers eligible to variable pay programs, a smaller portion, up to 20 percent of the variable pay amount, may have been paid out depending on achievement of local individual targets.
Environmental issues
Ericsson's ranking among companies in the communications
technology industry in Dow Jones' sustainability index was number two in 2002.
Ericsson is continuously striving to reduce environmental impact from products and processes. Ericsson has production operations in ten countries for manufacturing of cables and components and assembly of electronic
products. Ericsson has twelve production facilities in Sweden. For six of those, permissions for emissions/noise are required and for five, hazardous activities shall be reported. No significant environmental liabilities are known.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND BOARD PROCEDURES
At the Annual General Meeting on March 27, 2002, four Directors
resigned and three new Directors were elected. The Board of Directors consists of eight Directors elected by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting as well as three employee representatives, each with a deputy, appointed by their respective
employee organizations. Tom Hedelius, Deputy Chairman since 1991, has announced that he will not be available for re-election at the Annual General Meeting 2003.
The work of the Board is subject to a work procedure, adopted and revised by the Board at least once a year. The work
procedure stipulates the distribution of work among the Board and its three committees and between the Board and the President. The Board among its members appoints the members of the three committees: Audit, Finance and Remuneration. The Board has
authorized each committee to decide on certain issues, and the Board may also provide extended authorization to a committee to decide on specific matters.
Thirteen Board meetings were held during 2002. Among the matters resolved were the stock issue, certain divestments, such as the sales of parts of
Microelectronics to Infineon, effects of new US and Swedish regulations on corporate governance and financial reporting, the restructuring program and customer financing matters, such as sales and cancellations of off-balance sheet credit
portfolios. The company auditors have presented to the Board their observations from the audit.
The Audit Committee reviewed the scope and execution of audits performed, the financial reporting, the internal audit functions, matters and observations arising from audits performed and audit fees.
The Finance Committee resolved matters regarding
investments and divestments, capital contributions to companies inside and outside the Ericsson Group, raising of loans, issuance of guarantees and similar undertakings, and granting of credits to customers or suppliers and monitored the
Group's financial risk exposure.
The Remuneration
Committee reviewed and prepared, for resolution by the Board, strategies and general guidelines for compensation to employees, including incentive plans and retirement compensation, as well as specific proposals for salary, other remuneration and
retirement compensation to the President, Executive Vice Presidents, and other officers reporting directly to the President or the Chief Operating Officer.
At the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders in 2001, the shareholders voted for the establishment of a Nomination Committee, consisting of
representatives of the owners and the Chairman of the Board. The Annual General Meeting of Shareholders appoints the members of the Nomination Committee. The Nomination Committee nominated individuals to be elected Directors of the Board and also
prepared and presented for resolution by the Annual General Meeting a proposal for Board of Directors' fee.
On June 6, 2002, an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders authorized the Board to carry out a new stock issue.
STOCK ISSUE AND SHARES
A stock issue was successfully carried out during the year and
finalized early September. The issue was oversubscribed and generated SEK 29 billion in net proceeds.
The number of class B shares increased to 15,164 million.

ITEM
5A:    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our Segments
We report orders, net sales and operating income
for two of our three primary areas of business: Systems and Other operations. As a result of the establishment of the Sony Ericsson joint venture, beginning on October 1, 2001, however, we no longer report orders and net sales for the Phones
segment, as the results are accounted for according to the equity method. Within the Systems segment, orders booked and net sales for Mobile Systems and Multi-Service Networks are reported separately, although there is a high degree of integration
for research and development, customer service and sales organization, implementation and support services. For additional information regarding our segments, see Item 5 "Board of Directors' Report".

Indicates percentage change from year ended December 31, 2000 to 2001, and December 31, 2001 to 2002, respectively.
All geographic markets areas were affected by the de-consolidation of
handset sales from fourth quarter 2001 and onwards. Excluding Phones' sales transferred to the Sony Ericsson joint venture for the full year, the reduction in sales for 2002 was 31 percent compared to 2001.
During 2002, we recorded SEK 74.1 billion of net sales, or 51 percent of
total, from Europe, Middle East and Africa, our largest geographic market area, a decrease of 31 percent from SEK 107.0 billion in 2001. The decrease is primarily in our Systems segment as a result of continuing lowered capital expenditure by
operators in this region due to slowing growth of subscribers and credit market constraints.
Our second largest geographic market area is Asia Pacific, with net sales of SEK 35.9 billion, or 25 percent of total sales, during 2002. Net sales to Asia Pacific decreased by 39 percent from SEK 59.0 billion
in 2001. The aggressive network build-out in China during 2001 became more moderate in 2002.
Net sales to Latin America decreased by 63 percent from SEK 34.5 billion in 2001 to SEK 12.7 billion in SEK. This decrease was due to poor financial conditions in Latin America, which has restricted the ability
of operators in the region to fund capital expenditure.
Net sales to North America decreased by 26 percent from SEK 31.4 billion in 2001 to SEK 23.1 billion in 2002. This decrease in North America can be attributed largely to the deconsolidation of Phones.
Years ended December 31, 2001 and 2002
Net Sales
Consolidated
Consolidated net sales decreased by SEK 86 billion, or 37 percent, to SEK 145.8 billion in 2002 from SEK 231.8 billion in 2001. Excluding parts of
Phones transferred to the Sony Ericsson joint venture, sales for comparable units were SEK 210.8 billion in 2001. The greatest contributors to this decrease were lower sales volumes in all segments, and price reductions due to competitive pressures.
33
Table of Contents
Systems
Net sales decreased by 30 percent to SEK 132.0
billion in 2002 from SEK 187.8 billion in 2001. All regions except North America had significant reductions of sales: Latin America 61 percent due to the macro-economic conditions in the region and the planned shift from TDMA to GSM being stalled;
Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) 25 percent due mainly to financial restrictions on operators' capital expenditures and that third generation investments did not yet pick up momentum; and in Asia Pacific 34 percent, mainly attributable to
China's investments in 2001, which created excess capacity, and a decline in PDC technology in Japan that was not offset by corresponding WCDMA volumes. In North America the reduction was 1 percent, as the shift from TDMA to GSM generated good
demand.
Phones
Since the transfer of the Phones segment to Sony Ericsson Mobile
Communications, on October 1, 2001, net sales is not reported for this segment.
Other Operations
Net
sales decreased 26 percent to SEK 23.5 billion in 2002 from SEK 30.8 billion in 2001. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower net sales for our Microelectronics and Network Technologies (Cable) businesses, partially offset by the remaining
handset manufacturing operations in China, which were transferred into Other Operations upon the formation of Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications. Microelectronics was sold in the third quarter and remaining handset manufacturing operations in China
de-consolidated in the fourth quarter, as a result of the sale of parts of our interest in these operations to Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales decreased by 40 percent to SEK 104.2 billion in 2002 compared with SEK 173.9 billion in 2001. This decrease was due primarily to lower
overall sales volumes. Restructuring costs of SEK 5.6 billion and SEK 8.3 billion, respectively, were included in Cost of Sales. Gross margin, excluding restructuring costs, increased from 28.6 percent in 2001 to 32.3 percent in 2002, across all
segments. This increase is primarily attributed to the effects of the restructuring programs and the de-consolidation of Phones.
Key Operating Expenses
Operating expenses in 2002 were SEK 62.4 billion compared to SEK 93.0 billion in 2001. The reduction of SEK 30.6 billion is largely an effect of the
restructuring programs in 2001 and 2002 and the effects of transfer of Phones operations to Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications, consolidated according to the equity method as from October 1, 2001. Restructuring costs of SEK 6.3 billion and SEK 6.7
billion respectively were included in 2002 and 2001. During 2002, a reduction of SEK 3.2 billion of operating expenses is related to capitalization of development expenses per new Swedish GAAP (RR15).
Research and Development and Other Technical Expenses
Research and development and other technical
expenses, decreased by SEK 13.8 billion, or 32 percent, to SEK 29.3 billion in 2002 compared with SEK 43.1 billion in 2001. This decrease is related to the restructuring programs and the de-consolidation of Phones.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling expenses, excluding restructuring costs, decreased by SEK 10.4
billion, or 34 percent, to SEK 20.4 billion in 2002 compared with SEK 30.8 billion in 2001. Administrative expenses, excluding restructuring costs decreased by SEK 2.9 billion, or 23 percent, to SEK 9.6 billion in 2002 compared with SEK 12.4 billion
in 2001. As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses and administrative expenses excluding restructuring costs, increased from 13.3 percent and 5.4 percent, in 2001, to 14.0 percent and 6.6 percent, respectively, in 2002. In total, Selling and
Administrative expenses decreased by SEK 13.3 billion due to the effects of the restructuring programs and the de-consolidation of Phones.
Other Items
Other Operating Revenues
Other operating revenues decreased to SEK 0.5 billion in 2002 compared with SEK 8.4 billion in 2001. The capital gains in 2001 related principally
to the divestiture of shares of Juniper Networks.
Share
in Earnings of Joint Ventures and Associated Companies
Share in earnings of joint ventures and associated companies decreased by SEK 0.5 billion to a loss in the amount of SEK 1.2 billion in 2002 compared with a loss of SEK 0.7 billion in 2001. The losses are mainly attributed to Sony
Ericsson Mobile Communications losses. The Ericsson share in SEMC's income before taxes was SEK –1.3 billion in 2002 and SEK –0.7 billion in 2001.
Operating Income/Loss
Operating loss decreased by SEK 6.1 billion, from a loss of SEK 27.4 billion in 2001 to an operating loss of SEK 21.3 billion in 2002. The decreased
loss was mainly due to the increase of
34
Table of Contents
gross margin percent and significant decrease of operating expenses, with a major impact of the lower losses incurred in Phones and also reflecting the
de-consolidation of Phones. Our operating margin decreased from negative 11.8 percent in 2001 to negative 14.6 percent in 2002.
Financial Income and Expenses
Financial income decreased to SEK 4.3 billion in 2002 compared with SEK 4.8 billion in 2001. The decrease was primarily related to reduced interest
from customer financing, receivables and the impact of the negative cash flow before financing activities, which was partly offset by cash proceeds from the stock issue in September. Financial expenses where SEK 0.8 billion lower, SEK 5.8 billion in
2002 compared with SEK 6.6 billion in 2001, reflecting repayment of debt.
Minority Interest
Minority
interest before taxes was SEK –0.5 billion, compared to SEK –1.2 billion in 2001.
Income Taxes
Income tax benefits decreased by SEK 4.6 billion, to a net of SEK 4.3 billion in 2002 compared with SEK 9.0 billion in 2001. The effective tax rate was 18 percent. With no taxable income reported in Sweden, certain foreign
withholding taxes were not possible to deduct from income taxes in Sweden. In addition, rulings in tax court cases resulted in denied tax deductions for the capital discount on convertible debentures and other costs.
As of December 31, 2002, we had aggregate net tax loss carry-forwards of
SEK 13.6 billion, primarily in Sweden, SEK 10.3 billion of which will not expire until 2008 or later.
Net Income/Loss
As a result principally of the above factors, net loss decreased by SEK 2.3 billion, from a net loss of SEK 21.3 billion in 2001 to a net loss of SEK 19.0 billion in 2002. Foreign currency exchange rate changes had an overall impact
on the net loss of SEK 1.7 billion for 2002 compared to SEK 1.3 billion in 2001. Diluted earnings per share were SEK –1.51 in 2002 as compared to SEK –1.94 in 2001.
Years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001
Net Sales
Consolidated
Consolidated net sales decreased by SEK 41.7 billion, or 15 percent, to SEK 231.8 billion in 2001 from SEK 273.6 billion in 2000. The greatest
contributors to this decrease were lower sales volumes in all segments, the fact that the Phones segment only had nine months of net sales activity before substantially all of the handset operations, significantly downsized through restructuring
activities, were transferred to Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications on October 1, 2001, and price reductions due to competitive pressures.
Systems
Net sales decreased by 4 percent to SEK 187.8 billion in 2001 from SEK 194.7 billion in 2000. Strong sales early in 2001 were attributable to orders
booked at the end of 2000, but 2001 order bookings were adversely affected by significant capital expenditure reductions by operators, primarily in Western Europe and Latin America. Sales in Mobile Systems in 2001 decreased by 2 percent compared to
2000, principally attributable to significant declines in Western Europe and Latin America, which were only partially offset by increased sales in Asia Pacific and Eastern Europe. Sales in Multi-Service Networks decreased by 9 percent compared to
2000, primarily due to lower levels of capital expenditures by operators in Western Europe and Latin America. While we generated good order growth for our ENGINE migratory solution, with over 70 contracts signed since 1999, this was not sufficient
to offset the broader downward trend for traditional circuit switching equipment.
Phones
Net sales
decreased by 58 percent to SEK 23.6 billion in 2001 from SEK 56.3 billion in 2000. Part of this decrease reflects the fact that the Phones segment only had nine months of net sales activity before substantially all of the handset operations,
significantly downsized through restructuring activities, were transferred to Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications on October 1, 2001. Net sales for the first nine months of 2001 decreased 45 percent to SEK 23.6 billion from SEK 42.5 billion for the
first nine months of 2000. This decrease was the result of a severe decline in sales volume of handsets, as well as price reductions on uncompetitive products.
Other Operations
Net sales decreased 14 percent to SEK 30.8 billion in 2001 from SEK 35.9 billion in 2000. The decrease is primarily attributable to lower net sales
for our Microelectronics and Network Technologies (Cable) businesses, partially offset by the remaining handset manufacturing operations in China, which were transferred into Other Operations upon the formation of Sony Ericsson Mobile
Communications.
Cost of Sales
Cost of sales decreased by 4 percent to SEK 173.9 billion in 2001
compared with SEK 180.4 billion in 2000 (of which restructuring costs SEK 8.3 billion and SEK 11.7 billion respectively). This decrease was due primarily to lower overall sales volumes. Gross margin decreased from 34.1 percent in 2000 to 25.0
percent in 2001 across all segments. This decrease can be primarily attributed to fixed costs in manufacturing and implementation which could not be reduced in response to lower sales quickly enough to avoid excess capacity. In our Systems segment,
products with somewhat lower margins comprised a larger proportion of our net sales during the current period. Inventory write-downs and high warranty costs due to product quality problems in the Phones segment at the
35
Table of Contents
beginning of 2001 further contributed to the decline in gross margin. Provisions relating to our Efficiency Program and "Back-to-Profit"
programs of SEK 8.3 billion were recorded to cost of sales in 2001. In 2000, we recorded provisions of SEK 7.5 billion in our Phones segment to cost of sales relating to our "Back-to-Profit" program and the outsourcing of the manufacturing
of phones to Flextronics, in addition to other restructuring costs taken as incurred of SEK 4.2 billion.
Key Operating Expenses
Research and Development and Other Technical Expenses
Research and development and other technical expenses increased by SEK 4.7 billion, or 11 percent, to SEK 46.6 billion in 2001 (of which restructuring costs SEK 3.5 billion) compared with SEK 41.9 billion in
2000 (of which restructuring costs SEK 0.6 billion). This increase was primarily due to provisions of SEK 3.5 billion recorded in connection with our Efficiency Program, as well as investments in the 3G wireless systems, IP solutions and Mobile
Internet applications. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expenses increased from 15.3 percent in 2000 to 20.1 percent in 2001 including restructuring costs.
Selling and Administrative Expenses
Selling expenses decreased by SEK 2.8 billion, or 13 percent, to SEK 32.4 billion in 2001 (of which restructuring costs
SEK 1.5 billion) compared with SEK 35.2 billion in 2000 (of which restructuring costs SEK 0.3 billion). The decrease was primarily in the Phones segment, which had lower selling expenses for the first nine months of 2001 as compared to 2000 and no
selling expense during the fourth quarter after substantially all of our handset business was transferred to Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications. This decrease was partially offset by provisions of SEK 1.5 billion taken in connection with the
Efficiency Program during 2001. Administrative expenses increased by SEK 0.7 billion, or 5 percent, to SEK 14.0 billion in 2001 (of which restructuring costs SEK 1.4 billion) compared with SEK 13.3 billion in 2000 (of which restructuring costs SEK
0.1 billion). The increase can be primarily attributed to the recognition of a SEK 1.4 billion charge during 2001 to establish a provision in connection with our Efficiency Program. Administrative expenses decreased in our Phones segment in 2001 as
compared to 2000, and increased to a lesser degree in our Systems segment over the same period. As a percentage of net sales, selling expenses and administrative expenses increased from 12.9 percent and 4.9 percent, in 2000, to 14.0 percent and 6.0
percent, respectively, in 2001, including restructuring costs.
Other
Items
Other Operating Revenues
Other operating revenues decreased by SEK 19.6
billion to SEK 8.4 billion in 2001 compared with SEK 28.0 billion in 2000. This decrease was mainly due to capital gains, which were SEK 25.2 billion in 2000 and SEK 6.0 billion in 2001. The capital gains in 2000 related principally to the
divestiture of shares of Juniper Networks, our Energy business and real estate, and in 2001, were mainly attributable to the divestiture of our remaining shares of Juniper Networks.
Share in Earnings of Joint Ventures and Associated Companies
Share in earnings of joint ventures and associated companies decreased
by SEK 0.8 billion to a loss in the amount of SEK 0.7 billion in 2001 compared with earnings of SEK 0.1 billion in 2000. From October 2001, substantially all of the handset operations, dramatically downsized through restructuring activities, were
transferred to Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications. Net sales in the fourth quarter were lower than expected due to a much lower market demand and pricing pressure, and the joint venture incurred a loss of which our share was SEK 0.7 billion.
Operating Income/Loss
Operating income decreased by SEK 58.2 billion, from SEK 30.8 billion
in 2000 to an operating loss of SEK 27.4 billion in 2001. This decrease was driven by lower net sales, lower gross margins in both our Systems and Phones segments and charges in connection with additional provisions of SEK 15.0 billion for the
restructuring and efficiency programs. In addition, capital gains in 2001 were significantly less than those recognized in 2000 in relation to the divestiture of shares of Juniper Networks.
Our operating margin decreased from 11.3 percent in 2000 to negative
11.8 percent in 2001.
Financial Income and Expenses
Financial income increased by SEK 1.1 billion, or
30 percent, to SEK 4.8 billion in 2001 compared with SEK 3.7 billion in 2000. The increase was primarily related to increases in our cash position attributable primarily to decreases in net working capital and higher cash flows from financing.
Financial expenses also increased by SEK 1.7 billion, or 35 percent, to SEK 6.6 billion in 2001 compared with SEK 4.9 billion in 2000, reflecting incremental interest expense relating to bonds of SEK 28.2 billion issued during 2001 to refinance
short-term borrowings and extend the debt maturity profile.
Minority
Interest
Minority interest before taxes was SEK
–1.2 billion, compared to SEK –0.9 billion in 2000.

Table of Contents
Income Taxes
Income taxes decreased by SEK 16.7 billion, to a net income tax benefit
of SEK 9.0 billion in 2001 compared with an income tax expense of SEK 7.7 billion in 2000. Our effective tax rate was 30 percent, consistent with historical effective tax rates, in contrast to 2000, when our effective rate was 27 percent as a result
of non-taxable capital gains.
As of December 31, 2001, we
had aggregate net tax loss carry-forwards of SEK 27.6 billion, primarily in Sweden, SEK 26.0 billion of which will not expire until 2007 or later.
Net Income/Loss
As a result principally of the above factors, net income decreased by SEK 42.3 billion, from SEK 21.0 billion in 2000 to a net loss of SEK 21.3
billion in 2001. Foreign currency exchange rate changes had an overall impact of SEK 1.3 billion both years on the net profit/loss. Diluted earnings per share were SEK –2.69 in 2001 as compared to SEK 2.65 in 2000.
Foreign Exchange Rates
Our business and results of operations are affected by fluctuations in
exchange rates, particularly between the Swedish krona, our reporting currency, and other currencies such as the Euro, the U.S. dollar, the Japanese yen and the UK pound sterling. Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, together with
firm and probable purchase and sales commitments, give rise to foreign exchange exposure. We account for most of our revenues in foreign currencies and a significant percentage of our expenses in Swedish krona. As a result, in general, appreciation
of the Swedish kronor relative to another currency has an adverse effect on our net sales and operating profit, while the depreciation of the Swedish kronor has a positive effect.

In addition to the
impact of exchange rate fluctuations on our operating results discussed above, Ericsson's income statement and balance sheet are also affected by the translation into Swedish kronor for financial reporting purposes of the net assets of our
foreign subsidiaries that are denominated in currencies other than Swedish kronor.
We hedge some foreign exchange exposures in accordance with a policy established by the board of directors. For a discussion of foreign exchange exposures and instruments we use in connection with our hedging activities, see
Item 11 "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk".
ITEM 5B:    LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Capital expenditures
Due to the
reduced business volume, capital expenditures in tangible fixed assets were reduced year by year from SEK 12.6 billion in year 2000 to SEK 8.7 billion in 2001 and SEK 2.7 billion in 2002.
From year 2002, certain development expenses amounting to SEK 3.4 billion were capitalized according to new Swedish
GAAP. Only prospective application was allowed.

During the year, short-term and long-term interest bearing debt was reduced by SEK 12.2 billion and SEK 17.9 billion respectively, offset by
proceeds from the stock issue of SEK 28.9 billion. At year end, interest-bearing debt was SEK 60.6 billion, including SEK 2.4 billion of short-term debt and SEK 58.2 billion of long-term debt, including current maturities of long-term debt, of which
SEK 11 billion were pension liabilities and SEK 47.2 billion were largely related to convertible debentures and borrowings under our EMTN program. The long-term portion of these borrowings were SEK 36 billion with the following maturity:

Other commercial
commitments of significance are our guarantees for off-balance sheet customer financing. Since the underlying loans often are repaid prior to maturity or assumed by banks, in which case such guarantees are released prior to their stated terms, the
effective guarantee periods are short- to medium-term. Due to dissolvement of off balance sheet credit portfolios during the year, these commitments were sharply reduced during 2002 from SEK 12.8 billion to SEK 1.5 billion.
We also have committed to some customers to provide future credits. Such
commitments not yet drawn amounted to SEK 31.2 billion at the end of 2001 and were reduced to SEK 14.0 billion by the end of 2002. Credit commitments are conditional on the award of corresponding commercial contracts.

In accordance with
standard industry practice, we enter into bid and performance bonds related to long-term contracts for the supply of telecommunications equipment and services. Potential payments due under these bonds are related to our performance under applicable
contracts. We have not had to make any significant payments under theses types of bonds in the past and we currently do not anticipate that we will be required to make such payments under the bonds currently outstanding.
For additional information on our liquidity and capital resources please
see Item 11 "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk", "Funding and Liquidity Risk". For additional information on our off-balance sheet arrangements please see Item 11 "Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures about Market Risk", "Customer Finance Risk".
Critical accounting policies
Please see also Item 17 "Accounting Principles" and Note 29 to the Financial Statements.
The discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been
prepared in accordance with Swedish GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to apply accounting methods and policies that are based on difficult, complex or subjective judgments by management or on estimates based on
past experience and assumptions determined to be reasonable and realistic based on the related circumstances. The application of these estimates and assumptions affects the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We have summarized below our
accounting policies that require more subjective judgment of our management in making assumptions or estimates regarding the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain.
Revenue Recognition
Our revenue recognition policies are determined in accordance with both Swedish GAAP and US GAAP. On a global basis, we offer a comprehensive
portfolio of telecommunications and data communications systems and services covering a range of technologies. Our activities range from design, manufacture, installation and integration of complete network system to the delivery of spare parts. We
are required to use judgment in how to apply our revenue recognition policies based on the solutions being provided to our customers, the nature and sophistication of the technology involved and the geographical location of the customer. Specific
contractual performance and acceptance criteria and judgments in the areas of customer acceptance, installation and collectibility impact the timing and amounts of revenue recognized.
We apply the percentage-of-completion method or
38
Table of Contents
completed-contract method to the accounting for large and complex construction-type contracts. These contracts involve the supply of bespoke network
systems to meet specific customer specifications and can require an extended period of time to complete. We prepare estimates of total contract costs and of our progress towards completion using estimates and judgments that take into account our
historical experience, the advancement of the technology involved and other factors that are determined to be relevant. We assess inherent uncertainties that include system performance and implementation delays that might result from events both
within and outside of our control. We are required to estimate the overall margin at completion on these contracts, as well as evaluate the amount of possible losses, based on estimates that could vary over time, taking into account factors such as
changes in contractual terms and technical problems that might be encountered over the life of a contract. Changes in these estimates and unforeseen conditions that arise over the contract terms could result in a different pattern of revenue
recognition and may affect future earnings.
Valuation
of Receivables and Exposures Related to Customer Financing
We provide financing to certain customers in connection with significant sales of network infrastructure equipment. Financing may include funding for the direct purchase of our products and services, for network installation, and for
working capital purposes. We are required to assess the collectibility of our receivables for purposes of initial revenue recognition, as well as to record receivables at anticipated realizable value. In instances where we have sold receivables with
recourse or where we have exposure related to guarantees for customer financing, we have reported the extent of our exposure as contingent liabilities. Based on our assessment of the risks relating to these contingent liabilities, we accrue risk
provisions accordingly and contingent liabilities are reported net of such provisions. We have credit approval procedures where all major customer financing contracts are subject to approval by the Finance Committee of the board of directors. In
establishing appropriate allowances against receivables, we continuously monitor the financial stability of individual counterparties and apply considerable judgment over the ultimate realization of these receivables, taking into account the ability
of counterparties to meet and sustain their financial commitments based on their current and projected financial condition, and the outlook for the telecommunications industry and economy in general.
Inventory Obsolescence and Commitments Related to Outsourcing
Arrangements
We state our inventories at the lower of
cost or market. We record valuation allowances against our inventory that are equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and its estimated market value. We are required to make estimates about the future customer demand for our products,
taking into account historical consumption patterns, order backlog, changes in technology, and projected sales based on economic conditions and growth prospects, market acceptance of current and future products. A misinterpretation of these
conditions or uncertainty in the future outlook for the economy and of the telecommunications industry, or other failure to estimate correctly, could result in additional inventory losses in excess of the provisions determined to be appropriate as
of the balance sheet date.
As a consequence of increased
outsourcing of production to third parties, valuation allowances against inventory are now partly being replaced by allowances for supplier compensation when we fail minimum committed purchase volumes. We place orders based on estimates about future
customer demand, taking account of the factors listed above. Any misjudgment relating to these factors could result in additional losses in excess of the provisions determined to be appropriate as of the balance sheet date.
Customer Warranties
Warranty provisions are made based on sales and contractual warranty
periods of products sold. As the sales have decreased during the year compared to last year and warranties for Phones are now included in the accounts of Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications, provisions have also decreased. During the year,
provisions from previous years, of SEK 490 million, were dissolved excess provisions.
Actual costs may differ from the amounts covered by the allowances and therefore may affect future earnings.
Deferred taxes
Deferred taxes are recognized for temporary differences which arise between the taxable value of assets and liabilities as well as for unutilized
tax losses carry-forwards to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the unused tax losses can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are expected to be utilized as we believe Ericsson will be able to
report sufficient taxable income in the future to benefit from these tax reductions. Most of the tax loss carry-forwards are related to countries with long or indefinite periods of utilization, mainly Sweden.
Uncertainly in the future outlook for the economy and of the
telecommunications industry, or other failure to estimate accurately, could result in lower taxable income in the future.
As a consequence the actual utilization of deferred tax assets may differ from expected utilization and therefore may affect future earnings.

Table of Contents
Changes in Financial Reporting and
Accounting Policies
Swedish GAAP
There were no changes in Swedish GAAP or in our accounting policies
during 2000 and 2001. In 2002, we have implemented the following new accounting standards:
RR1:00—Consolidated financial statements
RR1:00 is an update of RR1:96. The main changes in RR1:00 compared to RR1:96 are related to consolidation of companies with a controlling interest.
RR15—Intangible assets
RR15 prescribes the accounting for and disclosure of intangible assets. The standard applies, among other things, to
research and development activities. As from 2002 certain expenses for development are capitalized as intangible assets. Only prospective application is allowed.
RR16—Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets
The objective of the standard is to ensure that appropriate recognition
criteria and measurement bases are applied to provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets, and that sufficient information is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements to enable users to understand their nature, timing and
amount.
RR17—Impairment of assets
RR17 prescribes the accounting and disclosure for
impairment of assets. The standard requires that the recoverable amount of an asset shall be estimated whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired. RR17 requires an impairment loss to be recognized whenever the carrying amount of
an asset exceeds its recoverable value.
RR18—Earnings per share
This
standard has the objective to prescribe principles for the determination and presentation of earnings per share.
RR19—Discontinuing operations
The standard addresses presentation and disclosure relating to discontinuing operations. The objectives of RR19 are to establish a basis for
segregating information about a major operation that an enterprise is discontinuing from information about its continuing operations and to specify minimum disclosure about a discontinuing operation.
RR20—Interim financial reporting
This standard prescribes the minimum content of an interim financial
report.
RR21—Borrowing costs
The standard describes the accounting treatment for borrowing costs.
The standard generally requires borrowing costs be expensed immediately.
RR23—Related party disclosures
This standard shall be applied in dealing with related parties and transactions between a reporting enterprise and its related parties. The requirements of this standard apply to the financial statements of each reporting enterprise.
The implementation of RR1:00, RR15, RR16, RR17 and RR19
was optional during 2001 and mandatory no later than 2002. RR21 and RR23 are mandatory from 2002. RR22 is mandatory from 2003. A retrospective restatement is required for each of these recommendations, except for RR15, which does not permit
restatement.
With the exception of RR1:00 and RR15, the
adoption of these standards did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Under RR1:00, beginning in 2002, certain finance companies, in which we are deemed to have a controlling interest, are consolidated. The principal
effect of this change is to record loans extended pursuant to customer finance arrangements and external loans to finance these loans on our balance sheet instead of recording them as contingent liabilities. In the 2001 Annual Report on Form 20-F,
as filed with the SEC on August 13, 2002, prior years were restated to reflect this change.
Under RR15, beginning in 2002, certain development costs are capitalized and subsequently amortized after a project has reached a certain degree of technical feasibility. As a result, we expect that during the
next few years reported results from operations will increase, as amounts being capitalized are expected to exceed the related annual amortization. Under US GAAP, we already capitalize certain development costs, as reflected in Note 29 to our
audited consolidated financial statements.
In 2003, we
will implement the following new accounting standards:
RR22—Presentation of financial statements
The objective of this standard is to prescribe the basis for presentation of general purpose financial statements, in order to ensure comparability both with the company's own financial statements of previous periods and with
the financial statements of other companies.
RR24—Investment property
This
standard prescribes the accounting treatment for investment property and related disclosure requirements. The adoption of RR24 is not expected have a material impact on the business, results of operations, and financial position of the Company.
40
Table of Contents
RR25—Segment
reporting
The objective of this standard is to
establish principles for reporting financial information by segment for to help users of financial statements to better understand different types of products and services a company produces and in which geographical areas it operates. The effect of
implementing RR25 is not expected to have a material effect on the presentation of segment information.
RR26—Events after the balance sheet date
This statement prescribes when a company should adjust its financial statements for events after the balance sheet date and the disclosures that a
company should give about the date when the statements were authorized for issue and about events after the balance sheet date. The effect of implementing RR26 is not expected to have a material effect on the business, results of operations, and
financial position of the Company.
RR27—Financial
instruments. Disclosure and presentation
The
objective of this standard is to enhance financial statement user's understanding of the significance of on-balance-sheet and off-balance-sheet financial instruments to a company's business, results of operations, and financial position.
The standard prescribes certain requirements for presentation of on-balance-sheet (recognized) and off-balance-sheet (unrecognized) financial instruments The effect of implementing RR27 is not expected to have material impact on the business,
results of operations, and financial position of the Company.
RR28—Accounting for Government Grants
This standard applies for financial reporting and disclosure of government grants and other forms of government assistance. The effect of implementing RR28 is not expected to have material impact on the business, results of
operations, and financial position of the Company.
In
2004, we will implement the following new accounting standard:
RR29—Employee benefits
This
standard describes the accounting treatment and disclosure of employee benefits. The standard requires a company to recognize (a) a liability when an employee has provided service in exchange for employee benefits to be paid in the future and (b) an
expense when the company consumes the economic benefit arising from service provided by an employee in exchange for employee benefits. The effects of this standard as of January 1, 2004, are not yet fully evaluated by the company. If Ericsson would
have applied RR29 as of January 1, 2003, the pension provisions would have been increased by approximately SEK 2.8 billion. The effect on equity, net after taxes, would have been approximately SEK 2 billion. Pension benefits, costs and liabilities
will increase, however, as benefits will be calculated including expected future salary increases. The net effect of the accounting change at adoption will be charged to stockholder's equity.
US GAAP
In 2002 we have adopted the following new standards:
SFAS 141 and 142
In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB or the "Board") issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141
(SFAS141), "Business Combinations", and No. 142 (SFAS142), "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", collectively referred to as the "Standards". SFAS141 supersedes Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 16,
"Business Combinations". The provisions of SFAS141 (i) require that the purchase method of accounting be used for all business combinations initiated after June 30, 2001, (ii) provide specific criteria for the initial recognition and
measurement of intangible assets apart from goodwill, and (iii) require that unamortized negative goodwill be written off immediately as an extraordinary gain instead of being deferred and amortized. SFAS 141 also requires that upon adoption of
SFAS142 the Company reclassify the carrying amounts of certain intangible assets into or out of goodwill, based on certain criteria. SFAS142 supersedes APB17, "Intangible Assets", and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December
15, 2001. SFAS142 primarily addresses the accounting for goodwill and intangible assets subsequent to their initial recognition. The provisions of SFAS142 (i) prohibit the amortization of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, (ii) require
that goodwill and indefinite-lived intangibles assets be tested annually for impairment (and in interim periods if certain events occur indicating that the carrying value of goodwill and/or indefinite-lived intangible assets may be impaired), (iii)
require that reporting units be identified for the purpose of assessing potential future impairments of goodwill, and (iv) remove the forty-year limitation on the amortization period of intangible assets that have finite lives.
The provisions of the Standards also apply to equity-method investments
made both before and after June 30, 2001. SFAS141 requires that the unamortized deferred credit related to an excess over cost arising from an investment that was accounted for using the equity method (equity-method negative goodwill), and that was
acquired before July 1, 2001, must be written-off immediately and recognized as the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle. Equity-method negative goodwill arising from equity investments made after June 30, 2001 must be written-off
immediately and recorded as an extraordinary gain, instead of being deferred and amortized. SFAS142 prohibits amortization of the excess of cost over the underlying equity in the net assets of an equity method investee that is recognized as
goodwill.
The Company has determined that it does not have
any intangible assets that have an indefinite life. The Company
41
Table of Contents
does not have any negative goodwill balances that will be written off upon adoption of SFAS141.
The adoption of SFAS141 did not have an impact on the business, results
of operations, and financial position of the Company.
According to SFAS142 goodwill is not subject to amortization subsequent to the date of adoption. Goodwill shall be tested for impairment both at adoption and annually. The Company has performed such tests which did not result in
write-downs of goodwill.
The amortization of goodwill made
according to Swedish GAAP is reversed under US GAAP.
SFAS 144
In October 2001, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets". SFAS No. 144 provides guidance on accounting for the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets. The objectives of the statement are to address issues
relating to the implementation of SFAS No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of", and to develop a model for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale, whether previously
held and used or newly acquired. SFAS No. 144 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. The Company is required to adopt the provisions of SFAS 144 effective from January 1, 2002 at which date
the Company adopted this standard. The adoption had no material impact on the business, results of operations, and financial position of the Company.
In 2003, we will implement the following new standards:
SFAS 143
In August 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Obligations Associated with the Retirement of Long-Lived Assets". The
provisions of SFAS No. 143 apply to all entities that incur obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002 and will
become effective for the Company on January 1, 2003. The effects of this standard, if any, are not yet evaluated by the company.
SFAS 145
On April 30, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and
Technical Corrections". Among other amendments and revisions, SFAS No. 145 eliminates the requirement that gains and losses from the extinguishment of debt be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of the related
income tax effect, unless such gains and losses meet the criteria in paragraph 20 of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 30, "Reporting the Results of Operations—Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business, and
Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring Events and Transactions". Generally, SFAS145 is effective for transactions occurring after May 15, 2002. SFAS 145 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial
position or results of operations.
SFAS 146
In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146,
"Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities". SFAS146 addresses financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or disposal activities and nullifies Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3,
Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). SFAS146 requires that a liability for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity be
recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred. The provisions of SFAS146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002, with early application encouraged. The effects
of this standard, if any, have not yet been evaluated by the company.
SFAS 147
In October 2002, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 147, " Acquisitions of Certain Financial Institutions". SFAS 147 addresses all acquisitions of financial institutions and is not expected to have material impact on the business, results of operations, and financial
position of the Company. The standard is effective for all acquisitions from 1 October, 2001. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have any impact on the business, results of operations, and financial position of the Company.
SFAS 148
In December 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123". This Statement amends FASB Statement No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, to provide alternative methods of transition for an entity
that voluntarily changes to the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. It also amends the disclosure provisions of that Statement to require prominent disclosure about the effects on reported net income of an
entity's accounting policy decisions with respect to stock-based employee compensation. Finally, this Statement amends APB Opinion No. 28, Interim Financial Reporting, to require disclosure about those effects in interim financial information.
The Company has no current plan to change the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation under SFAS123 and does not therefor intend to apply the transition provisions of SFAS148.

EITF 00-21
In January 2003, the Emerging Issues Task Force
(EITF) issued EITF 00-21, "Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables". EITF 00-21 addresses the issues of (1) how to determine whether an arrangement involving multiple deliverables contains more than one unit of
accounting; and (2) how arrangement consideration should be measured and allocated to the separate units of accounting in the arrangement. EITF 00-21 does not change otherwise applicable revenue recognition criteria. EITF 00-21 is effective for
revenue arrangements entered into in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of adopting EITF 00-21.
FIN 45
In November 2002, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 45 (FIN45), "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees,
Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others." FIN45 requires a liability to be recognized at the time a company issues a guarantee for the fair value of the obligations assumed under certain guarantee agreements. The provisions for
initial recognition and measurement of guarantee agreements are effective on a prospective basis for guarantees that are issued or modified after December 31, 2002. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of adopting FIN45.
FIN 46
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46 (FIN46 or
"the Interpretation"), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB51". FIN46 addresses the consolidation of entities for which control is achieved through means other than through voting rights
("variable interest entities" or "VIE") by clarifying the application of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated Financial Statements" to certain entities in which equity investors do not have the
characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. FIN46 provides guidance on how to determine
when and which business enterprise (the "primary beneficiary") should consolidate the VIE. In addition, FIN46 requires that both the primary beneficiary and all other enterprises with a significant variable interest in a VIE make
additional disclosures.
The disclosure provisions of FIN46
are effective in all financial statements initially issued after January 31, 2003. FIN46 is required to be immediately applied by all entities with a variable interest in a VIE created after January 31, 2003. A public entity with a variable interest
in a VIE created before February 1, 2003 is required to apply FIN46 to that entity no later than the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after June 15, 2003. The Company is in the process of assessing the impact of
adopting FIN46.
ITEM 5C:    RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT, PATENTS AND LICENSES
Research and Development
In order to maintain our competitiveness through
the development of innovative products and technologies, we have made substantial research and development expenditures in each of the last three years. Total spending on research and development, excluding restructuring costs was SEK 41.4 billion
in 2000, SEK 43.1 billion in 2001 and SEK 29.3 billion in 2002. As a percentage of net sales, research and development expenditures were 15.1 percent in 2000, 18,6 percent in 2001 and 20.1 percent in 2002.
The total spending on research and development was reduced by 32 percent
during 2002, compared to the previous year. The significant reduction in overall research and development expenditure has focused on cost reductions affecting non-core areas and the consolidation of multiple research and development facilities. We
will, however, budget a sufficient level of research and development expenditures relating to core products to maintain our competitive position.

Business Trends
Our sales increased steadily in the ten-year period through 2000 and, except for 1999, income before taxes also increased year by year over the
period. As a result of macroeconomic and industry conditions, in particular within the telecommunications industry, this trend changed dramatically in 2001, with sales decreasing by 15 percent, resulting in a loss before taxes of SEK 30.3 billion.
In 2002, the downturn continued with a sales decrease of 37 percent and a loss before taxes of SEK 23.3 billion. Excluding the effects of the de-consolidation of Phones from October 1, 2001, the decline in sales was 31 percent for comparable units.
The development of sales, operating income and income before taxes over the three-year period ended December 31, 2002 is illustrated below:

1)
Effective October 1, 2001, substantially all our handset operations were transferred to Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications and, as of such date, are accounted for pursuant to
the equity method.
In 2000, operating income
in the Systems segment increased significantly, and sales of shares in Juniper Networks and the divestiture of our Energy business generated capital gains of SEK 21.3 billion. These amounts were, however, offset by an operating loss and provisions
for restructuring charges in the Phones segment totaling SEK 23.6 billion, primarily caused by product launch delays, less competitive products and delivery problems related to a fire in a supplier's factory. Income before taxes increased as a
result of the significant income from the Systems segment and the aforementioned capital gains.
In 2001, the telecommunications industry experienced a significant decline in demand, driven by general economic conditions as well as industry specific circumstances, such as lower growth in Western Europe and
the United States. In Western Europe, the growth rate in the number of mobile subscribers decreased, reflecting the already relatively high penetration of mobile handsets, and operators reduced capital expenditure on infrastructure due to their
significant debt burdens largely incurred to acquire 3G licenses. In the United States, demand for TDMA equipment decreased as a result of operators' decisions to transition to GSM. Demand for fixed telecommunications infrastructure also
decreased rapidly, in particular in Latin America during the second half of the year. We implemented an Efficiency Program, principally relating to the Systems segment, with targeted cost reductions of SEK 20 billion annually beginning in 2002, for
which we accrued restructuring costs of SEK 11.1 billion. The handset operations were downsized and restructured to minimize risk exposure, and we established and transferred substantially all of our handset business to the Sony Ericsson joint
venture. A substantial operating loss was incurred in the Phones segment, due to excess capacity costs, lower than planned volumes sold, and lower than anticipated prices in a market characterized by significant excess capacity. In addition to the
provisions recorded in 2000, we made provisions of SEK 3.9 billion in connection with the rightsizing of the handset business before transfer of the business to Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications. In Other operations, our Microelectronics and
Cables businesses were adversely impacted by very low demand. Capital gains improved operating income by SEK 5.8 billion.
In 2002, the situation in the telecom market worsened, with a decline of over 30 percent, also this year driven by general economic conditions and
industry specific circumstances. Many operators had excess capacity reflecting overinvestment in network capacity prior to 2002, while others had to postpone investments to strengthen their financial position. The rollout of third generation
networks developed slower than expected, due to shortage of handsets, difficult financial situations among operators, and issues related to building permits for sites and towers in several markets. The price pressure intensified, but through cost
reductions, we were able to cope with this rather well. As a result of the market decline, orders booked decreased sequentially during three quarters until the fourth quarter, which showed an improvement of 49 percent compared to the third quarter.
Part of this increase, however, is related to seasonality. The implementation of the Efficiency Program continued, as outlined in 2001. Additional restructuring measures were decided at the end of the first quarter, aimed at reducing operating
expenses by an additional SEK 30 billion before the end of 2003. This, plus measures to reduce cost of sales, is undertaken to ensure a break-even point as low as at SEK 120 billion of sales. The run-rate of annual operating expenses was reduced to
SEK 51 billion in the fourth quarter, compared to 68 billion at the beginning of the year. Excluding the effects of the de-consolidation of Phones, the number of employees was reduced with 24 percent to 64,600 at year-end 2002 compared with 85,200
at year-end 2001.
Please also refer to Board of
Directors' Report, section "2002 Cost Reduction Measures" and section "Organization and employees—Restructuring program".
Major Events and Factors Impacting our Business
We have undertaken a number of restructuring programs during 2000, 2001 and 2002 as a result of the difficult market environment and our focus on
improving profitability in our Systems and Phones segments.
Restructuring 2000
In an
effort to restore profitability in our Phones segment, we began to implement a restructuring program in July 2000, which we refer to as the "Back-to-Profit" program. The primary aim of the program was to concentrate our product portfolio
on those products which we believed had the greatest market opportunities. We also contracted to outsource the development and manufacturing, according to our specifications, of entry-level mobile handsets, and we streamlined manufacturing by
transferring high-volume production to low-cost manufacturing units. In addition, we focused our research and development expenditures on advanced mobile systems, specifically in support of GPRS and 3G products.
44
Table of Contents
The Back-to-Profit
program resulted in a reduction of headcount by 11,000, of which 1,300 took place in 2000 and the remainder in 2001. Of this reduction, 2,000 employees were transferred to Flextronics under an outsourcing arrangement and the remainder of employees
were made redundant. We discuss the arrangements with Flextronics in more detail under "—Flextronics Outsourcing Arrangements" below.
Restructuring 2001
Phones
In 2001, we extended the Back-to-Profit program in our Phones segment and recorded an additional provision of SEK 3.9 billion in preparation for the
transfer of substantially all of our mobile handset business to Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications.
This provision related to additional downsizing, with the reduction of 4,000 employees and inventory and equipment write-offs. Overall headcount was
reduced through the Back-to-Profit program from approximately 18,000 in September 2000 to approximately 6,400 in September 2001. As of October 1, 2001 substantially all of the Phones operations, including approximately 3,000 employees, were
transferred to Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications. The downsized operations reduced our operating loss, and our 50 percent share of the joint venture's losses for the fourth quarter was SEK –0.7 billion, compared to the much larger losses
incurred before the Back-to-Profit program. Some operations relating to mobile platforms, Bluetooth and manufacturing in China were retained.
Systems, Other operations and unallocated costs
In the second quarter of 2001, we launched the "Efficiency Program" in order to mitigate the adverse effects of sharply declining orders.
The Efficiency Program included initiatives to streamline sales and administrative operations, reduce our employee headcount, centralize control over internal information technology functions, and consolidate our research and development facilities.
We established provisions of SEK 11.1 billion in 2001 in relation to the Efficiency Program.
As of December 31, 2001, the Efficiency Program had resulted in 10,600 employee reductions and the engagement of 8,000 fewer external consultants and temporary workers.
The Efficiency Program was implemented substantially according to plan
during 2001 and, based on estimated cost reductions, we believe that the measures adopted resulted in annual cost savings of approximately SEK 20 billion.
Flextronics Outsourcing Arrangements
In May 2001, we entered into an agreement with Flextronics to outsource the manufacturing of our mobile handsets. The terms of this agreement
provided that we would sell certain fixed assets and inventory, and transfer certain employees, to Flextronics. The inventory, which consisted principally of components used in the manufacture of mobile handsets, was sold for an aggregate purchase
price of SEK 8 billion, of which SEK 1 billion was immediately payable and SEK 7 billion was paid gradually as the inventory was consumed. The agreement also provided for minimum purchase commitments of handsets and required us to compensate
Flextronics in the event that these minimum commitments were not met. In addition, we sold certain other assets to Flextronics for a purchase price of SEK 1 billion, which was immediately payable.
As a result of these transactions, we reclassified approximately SEK 8
billion of inventory and SEK 1 billion of fixed assets to other receivables in our second quarter 2001. Our full year 2001 cash flow statement benefited from cash payments received from Flextronics of SEK 6 billion, of which SEK 2 billion was paid
in each of the second, third and fourth quarters of 2001. The outstanding balance in other receivables of SEK 2 billion at December 31, 2001, related to inventory not yet consumed by Flextronics. Moreover, pursuant to the agreement, we acquired
finished handsets from Flextronics and carried these items in our inventory accounts until they were sold. This arrangement ceased on October 1, 2001, at which time Flextronics entered into a similar outsourcing arrangement with Sony Ericsson Mobile
Communications AB.
Restructuring 2002
In addition to the efficiency program launched in 2001, we implemented
further restructuring measures in 2002. The actions in 2001 reduced the run-rate in operating expenses by SEK 20 billion from SEK 88 billion to SEK 68 billion. The new measures are expected to reduce annual operating expenses by another SEK 30
billion and bring the run-rate to SEK 38 billion in the end of 2003. Reductions in cost of sales are also planned in order to offset effects of price pressure and to improve the gross margin by 2–4 percentage points net.
During the year, a number of measures have been taken to reduce costs
and headcount.
•
Market units have been further reduced to lower selling expenses and achieve better resource utilization of implementation workforce. This will reduce excess capacity costs
and overhead costs.
•
Workforce reductions were made in our own factories, and transfer of production to countries with lower costs was carried out or initiated for both outsourced and own
production.
•
A substantial reduction in the number of local design centers was carried out from over 80 sites to around 40 with a target of 25.
•
Costs for internal IS/IT operations were trimmed.
•
In Sweden, some 20 legal entities were merged into one large operating company, Ericsson AB. This will reduce operating expenses.
As a result, the annual run-rate in operating expenses was reduced from
SEK 68 billion at the beginning of the year to SEK 51 billion in the fourth quarter. The program is well on track to
45
Table of Contents
reach the target level of SEK 38
billion. In 2002, the remaining provisions made in 2001 have largely been reversed to cover actual costs. At the end of this year, SEK 500 million remained and we expect that these will be dissolved during the first quarter of 2003. During the year,
further restructuring activities were implemented. At year end, provisions of SEK 7 billion related to activities implemented in 2002 remained. We expect that the main part of the SEK 7 billion will be dissolved to cover costs during 2003 and the
remaining part during the first quarter of 2004.

ITEM 10B:    MEMORANDUM AND ARTICLES OF
ASSOCIATION
Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson is
entered under no. 556016–0680 in the Company Register kept by the Swedish Patent & Registration Office. Our company's objects and purposes are described in §2 of the Articles of Association.
Our Articles of Association do not stipulate anything regarding a)
directors power to vote on a proposal, arrangement, or contract in which the director is materially interested, b) our directors' power to vote compensation to themselves, c) our directors' borrowing powers, d) retirements rules for our
directors or e) the number of shares required for a director's qualification. Applicable provisions are found in the Swedish Companies Act, as referred to in "Certain Powers of Directors and the President" below.
There are no age limit requirements for directors and they are not
required to own any shares in the company.
Share Capital Increases and
Preferential Rights of Shareholders
Our shares are
divided into three series: A shares, B shares and C shares; however, no C shares are currently outstanding. Under the Swedish Companies Act of 1975 (the "Swedish Companies Act"), shareholders must approve each issue of additional shares
either by deciding on the share issue at a shareholders' meeting, or by a shareholders' approval of a decision on a share issue by the board, or by giving an authorization to the board to decide about a share issue. If we decide to issue
new A shares and B shares by means of a cash issue, A and B shareholders (except for Ericsson and its subsidiaries, in the event they hold shares in Ericsson) have a primary preferential right to subscribe for new shares of the same type in relation
to the number of shares previously held by them. Shares not subscribed for through a preferential right shall be offered to all shareholders for subscription on a pro rata basis. If we decide to issue by means of a cash issue new shares of only one
series, all shareholders, regardless of whether their shares are series A or series B, are entitled to a preferential right to subscribe for new shares in proportion to the number of shares previously held by them. Shareholders may vote to waive
shareholders' preferential rights at a general meeting.
Election
of our Board of Directors
Our board of directors must
consist of a minimum of five directors and a maximum of twelve directors, with no more than six deputies. Directors shall be elected each year at the annual general meeting for the period up to and inclusive of the following annual general meeting.
A director may serve any number of consecutive terms. In addition, under Swedish law, employees have the right to appoint three directors (and their deputies).
Certain Powers of Directors and the President
The board of directors is ultimately responsible for the organization of the company and the management of the company's operations. The
president is charged with the day-to-day management of the company in accordance with any guidelines and instructions provided by the board of directors. The president has borrowing powers only to the extent such borrowing is part of the day-to-day
management of the company and in accordance with any guidelines and instructions provided by the board of directors.
According to the Swedish Companies Act, a member of the board of directors and the president may not take part in matters regarding agreements
between the individual concerned and the company, between the company and third parties where the individual concerned has a material interest in the matter which may conflict with the interests of the company, or agreements between the company and
a legal entity which the individual concerned may represent, either individually or together with any other person.
The general meeting of shareholders decides on compensation for the directors. Typically the general meeting decides on an aggregate amount which is
to be distributed among the directors as determined by the board.
Dividends
Our A and B shareholders
have the same rights to dividends.
Under Swedish law, only
a general meeting of shareholders may authorize the payment of dividends in an amount decided at such meeting, which may not exceed the amount recommended by the board of directors (except in certain limited circumstances), and may only be paid from
funds legally available for that purpose. Under Swedish law, no interim dividends may be paid in respect of any fiscal period for which audited financial statements of the company have not yet been adopted by the annual general meeting of
shareholders. The market practice in Sweden, which we currently follow, is for dividends to be paid annually. Under the Swedish Companies Act, dividends to shareholders may not exceed an amount equal to (1) the amount reported in the adopted balance
sheet and, in respect of parent companies which must prepare consolidated financial statements, the consolidated balance sheet for the most recent financial year, as the company's or group's net profits for the year, profit brought forward
and non-restricted reserves less (2) the sum of losses brought forward; sums which, pursuant to law or the articles of association, shall be allocated to restricted shareholders' equity or in respect of parent companies, sums which, according
to the annual reports
59
Table of Contents
for companies within the group, shall be transferred to restricted shareholders' equity from non-restricted shareholders' equity within the
group; sums which, pursuant to the articles of association shall otherwise be utilized for purposes other than distribution to shareholders. Dividends may not be declared to the extent that payment thereof would contradict generally accepted
business practices in light of a company's capital structure, liquidity or financial position.
The company's shares are registered in the computerized book-entry share registration system administered by VPC. The rights attached to shares
eligible for dividends accrue to those persons whose names are recorded in the register of shareholders on a particular day. The dividends are then sent to a specified account as directed by the person registered with VPC, or to the address of that
person. The relevant record date must, in most circumstances, be specified in the resolution declaring a dividend or resolving upon a capital increase or any similar matter in which shareholders have preferential rights.
Where the registered holder is a nominee, the nominee receives, for the
account of the beneficial owner, dividends and, on issues of shares with preferential rights for the shareholders, shares, as well as rights. Dividends are remitted in a single payment to the nominee who is responsible for the distribution of such
dividends to the beneficial owner. A similar procedure is adopted for share issues. Specific authority to act as a nominee must be obtained from VPC. VPC is required to keep a register with regard to any holding on behalf of a single beneficial
owner in excess of 500 shares in any one company. This list must reveal the names of the beneficial owner and must be open to public inspection.
Voting
In a general meeting of Ericsson, each A share shall carry one vote and each B share one-thousandth of one vote. In all other respects, our A and B
shareholders have the same rights.
We are required to
publish notices to attend annual general meetings and extraordinary general meetings regarding changes in our articles of association no earlier than six weeks and no later than four weeks prior to the general meeting. Notices to attend other types
of extraordinary general meetings must be published no earlier than six weeks and no later than two weeks prior to the general meeting.
A shareholder may attend and vote at the meeting in person or by proxy. Proxies are not valid for longer than a year from the date of issuance. Any
shareholder wishing to attend a general meeting must notify us no later than 4:00 p.m. (Sweden time) on the day specified in the notice. We are required to accept all notifications of attendance at least five days prior to the meeting (not counting
Sundays and certain Swedish holidays). A person designated in the register as a nominee (including the depositary of the ADSs) is not entitled to vote at a general meeting, nor is a beneficial owner whose share is registered in the name of a nominee
(including the depositary of the ADSs) unless the beneficial owner first arranges to have such owner's own name entered in the register of shareholders maintained by VPC no later than the designated record date.
Under the Swedish Companies Act, resolutions are passed by a simple
majority of votes cast at the meeting with the chairman of the meeting having a decisive vote (except in respect of elections), unless otherwise required by law or a company's articles of association. Under the Swedish Companies Act, certain
resolutions require special quorums and majorities, including, but not limited to, the following:
A
a resolution to amend the articles of association requires a majority of two-thirds of the votes cast as well as two-thirds of the shares present or represented at the
meeting, except in those circumstances described in B – D below;
B
a resolution to amend the articles of association which reduces any shareholder's rights to profits or assets, restricts the transferability of shares or alters
the legal relationship between shares, normally requires the unanimous approval of the shareholders present at the meeting and who hold nine- tenths of all outstanding shares;
C
a resolution to amend the articles of association for the purpose of limiting the number of shares with which a shareholder may vote at a general meeting or requiring
the retention of a larger amount of the net profit than required by the Swedish Companies Act or amending shareholders' rights in a liquidation or dissolution, normally requires the approval of shareholders representing a two-thirds of the
votes cast and nine-tenths of the shares present or represented at the meeting;
D
a resolution of the kind referred to under B or C above may, however, be taken with a lower supermajority requirement if the amendments referred to therein will only
adversely affect specific shares or classes of shares. In such cases, the requirement under A above will apply together with the following separate supermajority: (a) where a class of shares is adversely affected, approval of the owners of one-half
of all shares of such class and who hold nine-tenths of the shares of such class present or represented at the meeting, or (b) where the shares adversely affected do not constitute a class of shares, the unanimous approval of all such affected
outstanding shares present at the meeting and who hold nine-tenths of all outstanding shares adversely affected;
E
a resolution to issue, approve or authorize the issuance for cash of new shares or convertible debt instruments or debt instruments with the right to subscribe for new
shares with a deviation from the preferential right for existing shareholders requires a two-thirds majority of votes cast at the meeting as well as two-thirds of the shares present or represented at the meeting;
F
a resolution to redeem any or all of the outstanding share capital requires a two-thirds majority of votes cast at the meeting as well as two-thirds of the shares
present or represented at the meeting. Certain circumstances, however, require the unanimous approval of the shareholders present at
60
Table of Contents
the meeting, with nine-tenths of all outstanding shares present or represented at the meeting; and
G
a resolution to approve a merger requires a two-thirds majority of the votes cast at the meeting and two-thirds of the shares present or represented at the meeting.
At a general meeting of shareholders, a
shareholder or proxy for one or more shareholders may cast full number of votes represented by the holder's shares.
Purchase of Own Shares
A public Swedish limited liability company whose shares are traded on a securities exchange, an authorized market place or another regulated market
place is entitled to purchase its own shares under certain conditions. A purchase by us of our own shares may take place only if (a) the purchase has been decided upon by a general meeting of shareholders or the board has been authorized by a
general meeting of shareholders by a two thirds majority of votes cast at the meeting as well as two-thirds of the shares present or represented at the meeting, (b) the purchase is effected on a securities exchange or in some other regulated market
either in the European Economic Association (EEA) or outside the EEA (in the latter case with the approval of the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority the "SFSA") or pursuant to an offer to all shareholders or holders of a specific
class of shares, (c) the funds used in connection with such purchase could legally have been distributed as a dividend, and (d) we and our subsidiaries do not hold or, as a result of purchase, will not hold in excess of 10 percent of all our
outstanding shares. As of December 31, 2002 we held an aggregate of 154,360,278 repurchased B shares.
Investment Restrictions
There are no limitations imposed by Swedish law or by our Articles of Association in respect of the rights of non-residents or foreign persons to purchase, own or sell securities issued by us.
As a general rule, Swedish securities may be freely sold to and owned by
non-residents or foreign persons; however, on account of our defense-related contracts with the Swedish government and certain defense contractors, we are subject to defense industry licensing requirements in Sweden. The licenses granted by the
governmental authorities in Sweden in relation to the defense industry provide that the production of defense equipment may be carried on as long as Swedish legal entities or persons hold the ultimate control of the parent company. In this context,
control relates to the holding of the majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares. We are currently controlled by Swedish legal entities and persons and we must report any change, which could result in a change from Swedish control to
foreign control. Further, our president and at least 50 percent of the members of our board of directors and their deputies must be Swedish citizens domiciled in Sweden. If we do not comply with the requirements under our licenses, the governmental
authorities may reconsider our licenses or their terms. Furthermore, there are certain flagging and ownership examination rules that apply, irrespective of nationality.
Pursuant to recommendations concerning the disclosure of acquisition and transfer of shares issued by
Näringslivets Börskommitté (the "Swedish Industry and Commerce Stock Exchange Committee"), any seller or purchaser of securities including shares of stock, convertible debt instruments, warrants, non-standardized options
and futures of a Swedish company listed on Stockholmsbörsen, must report to Stockholmsbörsen and to the Company transactions in which the purchaser or seller acquires or disposes of 5 percent of any subsequent percentage that is a multiple
of five, up to and including 90 percent of either the voting rights of all shares or the total number of shares in the Company. These changes in ownership should also be reported to an established news agency and to a nationally published newspaper
in Sweden no later than 9:00 a.m. on the next day on which trading is conducted on Stockholmsbörsen. In addition, according to the Swedish Financial Instruments Trading Act, if a natural person or legal person who acquires or disposes of
shareholdings in a Swedish company that has its shares listed on a stock exchange situated or operating within one or more EEA countries and, as a result of such acquisition or disposition, holds voting rights equal to, in excess of or less than one
of the thresholds of 10 percent, 20 percent, 33 percent, 50 percent or 66 percent, the person is required to notify the company in writing at the same time it notifies the stock exchange or, if the shares are not listed in Sweden, the SFSA within
seven calendar days of the acquisition or disposition. In addition, the Act on Reporting Obligations Regarding Certain Holdings of Financial Instruments requires, among other things, that certain individuals who own shares representing 10 percent or
more of the share capital or the voting rights in a publicly traded company report such ownership to the SFSA which keeps a public register based on the information contained in such reports, and also to report any changes in such ownership.
If shares of a Swedish limited liability company are held
in the name of a nominee, the nominee must issue a public report to the VPC every six months, listing all beneficial holders of more than 500 of the shares.

10C:    MATERIAL CONTRACTS
Effective October 1, 2001, we formed Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB as a 50/50 joint venture with Sony Corporation. Ericsson and Sony each contributed SEK 2.8 billion in cash to the capital of the joint venture. Pursuant to
two Master Purchase Agreements, one relating to the transfer of the Ericsson handset business and one relating to the transfer of the Sony handset business, and related agreements, both partners sold substantially all of their respective handset
businesses to the joint venture. We retained ownership of our intellectual property rights for mobile phone platform technology, which is licensed to the joint venture and other handset manufacturers.
ITEM 10D:    EXCHANGE CONTROLS
There is no Swedish legislation affecting a) the import or export of
capital or b) the remittance of dividends, interest or other payments to nonresident holders of our securities except that, subject to the provisions in any tax treaty, dividends are subject to withholding tax.
The defense industry is subject to licensing requirements in Sweden. The
licenses granted by the governmental authorities in Sweden in relation to the defense industry provide that the production of defense equipment may be carried on as long as Swedish legal entities or persons hold the ultimate control of the parent
company. In this context, control relates to the holding of the majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares. Such control of the parent company is now held by Swedish legal entities and persons and the Company must report any change,
which could result in a change from Swedish control to foreign control. Further, the president of the Company and at least 50 percent of the members of the board of directors and their deputies must be Swedish citizens domiciled in Sweden. In case
of non-compliance with the requirements under a license, the governmental authorities may reconsider the license or its terms.
ITEM 10E:    TAXATION
General
The taxation discussion set forth below does not purport to be a complete analysis or listing of all potential tax effects relevant to the
acquisition, ownership of B shares, ADSs or convertible debentures. The statements of United States and Swedish tax laws set forth below are based on the laws in force as of the date of this report and may be subject to any changes in United States
or Swedish law, and in any double taxation convention or treaty between the United States and Sweden, occurring after that date, which changes may then have retroactive effect.
Specific tax provisions may apply for certain categories of tax payers. Your tax treatment if you are a holder of B
shares, ADSs or convertible debentures depends in part on your particular situation. If you are a holder of B shares, ADSs or convertible debentures, you should therefore consult a tax advisor as to the tax consequences relating to your particular
circumstances resulting from the ownership of B shares, ADSs, or convertible debentures.
The tax consequences to holders of ADSs, as discussed below, apply equally to holders of B shares.
Certain Swedish Tax Considerations
This section describes the material Swedish income and net wealth tax consequences for a holder of ADSs, B shares or convertible debentures who is
not considered to be a Swedish resident for Swedish tax purposes. This section applies to you only if you are a holder of portfolio investments representing less than 10 percent of capital and votes and is not applicable if the ADSs, B shares or
convertible debentures pertain to a permanent establishment or fixed base of business in Sweden.
Taxation on Capital Gains
Generally, non-residents of Sweden are not liable for Swedish capital gains taxation with respect to the sale of ADSs, B shares or convertible debentures. However, under Swedish tax law, capital gains from the sale of Swedish B
shares and certain other securities by private individuals may be taxed in Sweden at a rate of 30 percent if they have been residents of Sweden or have lived permanently in Sweden at any time during the year of the sale or the 10 calendar years
preceding the year of the sale (absent treaty provisions to the contrary). The provision is applicable on ADSs, B shares and convertible debentures.
This provision may, however, be limited by tax treaties that Sweden has concluded with other countries. Under the tax treaty between Sweden and the
United States (the "U.S. Tax Treaty"), this provision applies for ten years from the date the individual became a non-resident of Sweden.
Taxation on Dividends
A Swedish dividend withholding tax at a rate of 30 percent is imposed on dividends paid by a Swedish corporation, such as us, to non-residents of
Sweden. The same withholding tax applies to certain other payments made by a Swedish corporation, including payments as a result of redemption of shares and repurchase of stock through an offer directed to its shareholders. Exemption from the
withholding tax or a lower tax rate may apply by virtue of a tax treaty. Under the U.S. Tax Treaty, the withholding tax on dividends paid on portfolio investments to eligible U.S. holders is reduced to 15 percent.
Under all Swedish tax treaties, except the tax treaty with Switzerland,
withholding tax at the applicable treaty rate should be withheld by the payer of the dividends. With regard to dividends paid from shares in corporations registered with
62
Table of Contents
the VPC (such as our shares), a reduced rate of dividend withholding tax under a tax treaty is generally applied at the source by the VPC or, if the
shares are registered with a nominee, the nominee, as long as the person entitled to the dividend is registered as a non-resident and sufficient information regarding the tax residency of the beneficial owner is available to the VPC or the nominee.
In those cases where Swedish withholding tax is withheld
at the rate of 30 percent and the person who received the dividends is entitled to a reduced rate of withholding tax under a tax treaty, a refund may be claimed from the Swedish tax authorities before the end of the fifth calendar year following the
distribution.
Taxation on Interest
No Swedish withholding tax is payable on interest paid to nonresidents
of Sweden.
Net Wealth Taxation
The ADSs, B shares and convertible debentures are not subject to
Swedish net wealth taxation in the hands of a holder that is not resident in Sweden for tax purposes.
You should consult your own tax advisors regarding the Swedish and other tax consequences of your ownership of ADSs, B shares and convertible
debentures.
Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences
The following discussion is a summary of the
material United States federal income tax consequences relevant to the ownership and disposition of ADSs or B shares or convertible debentures. This discussion is based on the tax laws of the United States (including the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended, its legislative history, existing and proposed regulations thereunder, published rulings and court decisions) as in effect on the date hereof, all of which are subject to change, possibly with retroactive effect. The discussion is
not a full discussion of all tax considerations that may be relevant to the ownership and disposition of ADSs or B shares or convertible debentures. The discussion applies only if you will hold the ADSs and/or the B shares and/or convertible
debentures as capital assets and you use the USD as your functional currency. It does not deal with the tax treatment of investors subject to special rules, such as grantor trusts, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies,
banks, brokers or dealers in securities, traders in securities or currencies that elect to use a mark-to-market method of recording for their securities holdings, financial institutions, insurance companies, tax-exempt entities, investors liable for
alternative minimum tax, holders (either actually or constructively) of 10 percent or more of our B shares, persons holding ADSs and/or B shares or convertible debentures as part of a hedging, straddle, conversion or constructive sale transaction
and persons who are resident or ordinarily resident in Sweden. In addition, investors holding ADSs and/or B shares and/or convertible debentures indirectly through partnerships are subject to special rules not discussed below. You should consult
your own tax advisers about the United States federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences to you of the ownership and disposition of the ADSs or B shares or convertible debentures.
The discussion below applies to you only if you are a beneficial owner of ADSs and/or B shares and/or convertible
debentures not resident in Sweden for purposes of the U.S. Tax Treaty and you are, for United States federal income tax purposes, (1) a citizen or resident of the United States, (2) a corporation or any other entity treated as a corporation that is
organized in or under the laws of the United States or its political subdivisions, (3) a trust if all of the trust's substantial decisions are subject to the control of one or more United States persons and the primary supervision of the trust
is subject to a United States court or if a valid election is in effect with respect to the trust to be taxed as a United States person, or (4) an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its
source.
The discussion below assumes that the
representations contained in the deposit agreement are true and that the obligations in the deposit agreement and any related agreement will be complied with in accordance with the terms. If you hold ADSs, you will be treated as the holder of the
underlying B shares represented by those ADSs for United States federal income tax purposes.
Taxation of ADSs or B shares
Dividends
Subject to the
passive foreign investment company rules discussed below, the gross amount of dividends paid (before reduction for any Swedish withholding taxes) with respect to the ADSs or B shares generally will be included in your gross income as ordinary income
from foreign sources to the extent paid out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for United States federal income tax purposes). Distributions in excess of earnings and profits will be treated as a non-taxable return of
capital to the extent of your adjusted tax basis in the ADSs or B shares and thereafter as capital gain. The dividends will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction available to corporations in respect of dividends received from other
U.S. corporations. The amount of any dividend paid in SEK will be the U.S. dollar value of the dividend payment based on the exchange rate in effect on the date of receipt by you, in the case of B shares or by the depositary, in the case of ADSs,
whether or not the payment is converted into USD at that time. Your tax basis in the SEK received will equal such USD amount. Gain or loss, if any, recognized on a subsequent sale or conversion of the SEK will be U.S. source ordinary income or loss.
Subject to certain limitations, you will generally be
entitled to receive credit against your United States federal income tax liability (or a deduction against your United States federal
63
Table of Contents
taxable income) with respect to any Swedish tax withheld in accordance with the U.S. Tax Treaty and paid over to Sweden. If a refund of the tax
withheld is available to you under the laws of Sweden or under the U.S. Tax Treaty, the amount of tax withheld that is refundable will not be eligible for such credit against your United States federal income tax liability (and will not be eligible
for the deduction against your United States federal taxable income). For foreign tax credit limitation purposes, the dividend will be income from sources without the United States, and generally will be treated as "passive income" (or, in
the case of certain holders, "financial services income").
Sale or Exchange of ADSs or B shares
Subject to the passive foreign investment company rules discussed below, you generally will recognize capital gain or loss on the sale or other disposition of the ADSs or B shares equal to the difference between the USD value of the
amount realized and your adjusted tax basis (determined in USD) in the ADSs or B shares. Such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will generally be treated as arising from U.S. sources for foreign tax credit limitation purposes.
The amount realized on a disposition of ADSs or B shares
generally will be the amount of cash you receive for the ADSs or B shares (which, in the case of payment in a non-U.S. currency, will equal the USD value of the payment received determined on (a) the date of receipt of payment if you are a cash
basis taxpayer and (b) the date of disposition if you are an accrual basis taxpayer). If the ADSs or B shares are treated as traded on an "established securities market," if you are a cash basis taxpayer (or, if you are an accrual basis
taxpayer, if you so elect) you will determine the USD value of the amount realized by translating the amount received at the spot rate of exchange on the settlement date of the sale.
You will have a tax basis in any foreign currency received equal to the USD amount realized. Any gain or loss you
realize on a subsequent conversion of foreign currency will be U.S. source ordinary income or loss.
Taxation of convertible debentures
Interest Payments
In
general, the gross amount of interest paid on convertible debentures will be included in your gross income as ordinary income from foreign sources. If you use the cash method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes and receive a
payment of interest in SEK, you will be required to include in income the USD value of the SEK (determined on the date such payment is received) regardless of whether the payment is in fact converted to USD at that time, and such USD value will be
the U.S. Holder's tax basis in such SEK.
If you use
the accrual method of accounting for United States federal income tax purposes, or are otherwise required to accrue interest prior to receipt, you will be required to include in income the USD value of the amount of interest income (including market
discount and reduced by amortizable bond premium to the extent applicable) that has accrued and is otherwise required to be taken into account with respect to a debenture during an accrual period. The USD value of such accrued income will be
determined by translating such income at the average rate of exchange for the accrual period or, with respect to an accrual period that spans two taxable years, at the average rate for the partial period within the taxable year. You may elect,
however, to translate such accrued interest income using the rate of exchange on the last day of the accrual period or, with respect to an accrual period that spans two taxable years, using the rate of exchange on the last day of the taxable year.
If the last day of an accrual period is within five business days of the date of receipt of the accrued interest, you may translate such interest using the rate of exchange on the date of receipt. The above election will apply to other obligations
held by you and may not be changed without the consent of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the "IRS"). You will recognize exchange gain or loss (which will be treated as ordinary income or loss) with respect to accrued interest income on
the date such income is received. The amount of ordinary income or loss recognized will equal the difference, if any, between the USD value of SEK received (determined on the date such payment is received) in respect of such accrual period and the
USD value of interest income that has accrued during such accrual period (as determined above).
Amortizable Bond Premium
Generally, if you purchase a debenture for an amount that is in excess of the sum of all amounts payable on the debenture after its acquisition date (other than payments of stated interest), you will be considered to have purchased
the debenture with amortizable bond premium. You may elect to amortize such premium (or if it results in a smaller amortizable bond premium attributable to the period of earlier call date, with reference to the amount payable on earlier call date)
using a constant yield method over the remaining term of the debenture and may offset interest income otherwise required to be included in respect of the debenture with respect to an accrual period by the bond premium allocable to the accrual
period. If the bond premium allocable to the accrual period exceeds the interest allocable to the accrual period, you may deduct such excess amount to the extent of the amount by which your total interest inclusions on the debenture in prior accrual
periods exceed the total amount treat by you as a bond premium deduction on the debenture in prior accrual periods. Any remainder would generally be carried over to subsequent periods. Any election to amortize bond premium with respect to any
debenture (or other general debt obligations) applies to all taxable debt obligations held by you at the beginning of the first taxable year to which the election applies and to all debt obligations thereafter acquired in all subsequent tax years
and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS.

Table of Contents
Market Discount
A debenture will be treated as purchased at a
market discount if the amount for which you purchased the debenture is less than the debenture's stated redemption price at maturity, subject to a certain "de minimis" rule.
Any gain recognized on the maturity or disposition of a debenture purchased at market discount will be treated as
ordinary income to the extent that such gain does not exceed the accrued market discount on such debenture. Alternatively, you may elect to include market discount in income currently over the life of the debenture. Such election shall apply to all
debt instruments with market discount acquired by you on or after the first day of the first year to which the election applies and may not be revoked without the consent of the IRS.
Purchase, Sale, Exchange and Retirement
If you purchase a debenture with previously owned SEK, you will recognize ordinary income or loss in an amount equal to
the difference, if any, between your tax basis in the SEK and the USD fair market value of the SEK used to purchase the debenture, determined on the date of purchase.
Generally, upon the sale, exchange or retirement of a debenture, you will recognize taxable gain or loss equal to the
difference between the amount realized on the sale, exchange or retirement and your adjusted tax basis in the debenture. Subject to the foreign currency rules and the passive foreign investment company rules discussed below, such gain or loss
generally will be capital gain or loss (except to the extent of any accrued market discount not previously included in your income) and will be long-term capital gain or loss if at the time of sale, exchange or retirement the debenture has been held
by you for more than one year. To the extent the amount realized represents accrued but unpaid interest, however, such amounts must be taken into account as interest income. If you receive SEK on such a sale, exchange or retirement, the amount
realized will be based on the USD value of the SEK on the date the payment is received or the debenture is disposed of (or deemed disposed of). Your adjusted tax basis in a debenture will equal the cost of such debenture, increased by the amounts of
any market discount previously included in income by you with respect to such debenture and reduced by any amortized acquisition or other premium and any principal payments received by you (in each case generally determined based on the USD value of
SEK on the date of such purchase or adjustment).
Gain or
loss realized upon the sale, exchange or retirement of a debenture that is attributable to fluctuations in currency exchange rates will be ordinary income or loss which will not be treated as interest income or expense. Gain or loss attributable to
fluctuations in exchange rates relating to the principal amount will equal the difference between the USD value of the SEK principal amount of the debenture, determined on the date such payment is received or such debenture is disposed of, and the
USD value of the SEK principal amount, determined on the date you acquired such debenture. Such foreign currency gain or loss will be recognized only to the extent of the total gain or loss realized by you on the sale, exchange or retirement of the
debenture.
Conversion
The conversion of convertible debentures will not be a taxable
transaction for United States federal income tax purposes except to the extent of any cash or other consideration received for fractional shares or accrued interest. Upon conversion, your basis in B shares or ADSs received will equal the basis of
the convertible debentures allocable to the B shares or ADSs received and the holding period of B shares or ADSs received will include the holding period of the convertible debentures.
Under certain circumstances, adjustment in the conversion ratio or the lack thereof may cause a deemed distribution to
you. You should consult your own tax advisors regarding any such deemed distribution.
Passive Foreign Investment Company Status
A non-U.S. corporation is a passive foreign investment company (a "PFIC") in any taxable year in which, after taking into account the income and assets of certain subsidiaries, either (a) at least 75 percent of its gross
income is passive income or (b) at least 50 percent of the quarterly average value of its assets is attributable to assets that produce or are held to produce passive income. Based on the market value of our shares, the composition of our assets and
income and our operations, we believe we were not a PFIC during the year 2002. However, whether or not we will be considered a PFIC will depend on the nature and source of our income and the value of our assets, as determined from time to time. If
we are treated as a PFIC, we will not provide information necessary for the "qualified electing fund" election as the term is defined in the relative provisions of the Code. You should consult your own tax advisors about the consequences
of our classification as a PFIC.
If we were a PFIC, for
any taxable year in which you held ADSs or B shares, you would be subject to special rules with respect to:
•
any gain realized on the sale or other disposition of ADSs or B shares; and
•
any "excess distribution" made to you (generally, any distributions to you in respect of ADSs or B shares during a single taxable year that are greater than 125
percent of the average annual distributions received by you in respect of ADSs or B shares during the three preceding taxable years or, if shorter, your holding period for ADSs or B shares). Under these rules:
•
the gain or excess distribution would be allocated ratably over your holding period for ADSs or B shares;
•
the amount allocated to the taxable year in which the gain or excess distribution was realized and any year before we became a PFIC would be taxable as ordinary income;
•
the amount allocated to each prior year, other than the current year and any taxable year prior to the first taxable
65
Table of Contents
year in which we were a PFIC, would be subject to tax at the highest applicable marginal tax rate in effect for each such year; and
•
an interest charge would be imposed to cover the deemed benefit for the deferred payment of the tax attributable to each year prior to the taxable year.
As an alternative to the special rules
described above, holders of "marketable stock" in a PFIC may elect mark-to-market treatment with respect to their ADSs or B shares. ADSs or B shares will not be considered marketable stock unless the B shares are regularly traded on a
qualified exchange or other market. If the mark-to-market election is available and you elect mark-to-market treatment you will, in general, include as ordinary income each year an amount equal to the increase in value of your ADSs or B shares for
that year (measured at the close of your taxable year) and will generally be allowed a deduction for any decrease in the value of your B shares for the year, but only to the extent of previously included mark-to-market income.
If you own ADSs or B shares during any year in which we are a PFIC, you
are required to make an annual return on IRS Form 8621 regarding distributions received with respect to B shares and any gain realized on the disposition of your ADSs or B shares.
Under certain constructive ownership rules, convertible debentures may be treated as B shares for purposes of applying
the PFIC rules. Holders of convertible debentures are strongly urged to consult their own advisors in this regard.
Information reporting and backup withholding
In general, information reporting requirements may apply to (i) dividends paid in respect of ADSs or B shares and the proceeds received on the sale
or exchange of the ADSs or B shares within the United States or by a broker with certain United States connections, and (ii) payments of interest or principal in respect of the convertible debentures and the proceeds received on the sale or exchange
of convertible debentures within the United States or by a broker with certain United States connections. Backup withholding, currently at a rate of 30 percent for 2003, 29 percent in 2004–2005, 28 percent in 2006–2010, and 31 percent
thereafter, may apply to payments to you of dividends paid in respect of ADSs or B shares or payments to you of interest or principal in respect of the convertible debentures, or the proceeds of a sale or other disposition of ADSs or B shares or
convertible debentures if you fail to provide an accurate taxpayer identification number (certified on IRS Form W–9) or, upon request, to certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or otherwise to comply with the applicable
requirements of backup withholding. The amount of any backup withholding from a payment to you will be allowed as a credit against your United States federal income tax liability and a refund of any excess amount withheld under the backup
withholding rules may be obtained by filing the appropriate claim for refund with the IRS and furnishing any required information.

11:    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our financial risk management is governed by a policy approved by the Board of Directors. The Finance Committee of the Board is responsible for the continuous monitoring of our financial exposures and for
approving certain matters regarding investments, loans, guarantees and customer financing commitments.
Internally, the Corporate Treasury and Corporate Customer Finance functions manage financial risks and the Group's financial assets and
liabilities and issue policies governing our consolidated companies.
The Corporate Treasury function's principal role is to ensure that the group has sufficient financing in place through loans and committed credit arrangements, to actively manage the group's liquidity as well as financial
assets and liabilities, and to manage and control financial exposures in a manner consistent with underlying business risks and financial policies.
We have established treasury centers in Stockholm, Dublin, Singapore and Dallas (collectively known as Ericsson Treasury Services) for cash
management and handling of hedging activities. The major part of the risks assumed by Ericsson Treasury Services are hedged in the financial markets, but Ericsson Treasury Services may also take positions in the financial markets within the
framework of the policy established by the Board of Directors. The risk mandate, SEK 200 million, is based on a five percent change in exchange rates against the total foreign exchange position and a one percentage point change in interest rate. As
of December 31, 2002, the market risk amounted to SEK 116 (151) million. This is also complemented by a Value at Risk calculation given a confidence level of 99 percent and a one-day horizon.
Our Corporate Customer Finance function's main objective is to find
suitable third-party financing solutions for our customers and to minimize recourse to Ericsson. The Corporate Customer Financing function operates in all market areas to support the business in the early stages of negotiations. To the extent
customer loans are not immediately provided by banks, the consolidated subsidiary Ericsson Credit AB manages the bulk of Ericsson's own outstanding vendor credits. The exposure from outstanding vendor loans and credit commitments are monitored
centrally by the Corporate Customer Finance function.
FINANCIAL
INSTRUMENTS
We use different financial instruments to
hedge group financial exposures arising from business operations, group funding and asset and liability management. We define the financial instruments as either primary or derivative. Primary instruments are mainly loans, investments and foreign
exchange spot transactions. As a complement to the primary instruments we use derivative instruments to reduce our financial exposures. Derivatives used are mainly currency swaps, interest rate futures and interest rate swaps. The use of other types
of derivatives is limited.
Except for the SEK 200 million
risk mandate given to Ericsson Treasury Services, all risk associated with our use of financial instruments corresponds to actual and forecasted currency and interest rate commitments.
We classify financial risks as either market risk, credit risk, country risk or funding and liquidity risk.
MARKET RISK
Market risk is divided into three categories: foreign exchange risk,
interest rate risk and risk related to our share price.
Foreign
Exchange Risk
Ericsson is domiciled in Sweden and
reports in SEK and currently conducts business in more than 140 countries.
We have significant revenues, costs, assets and debt in currencies other than SEK, which result in substantial foreign exchange exposures. Fluctuations in exchange rates between SEK and foreign currencies may affect our earnings. It
is our policy to reduce this effect to the extent possible through a variety of hedging activities.

In the table
above, net foreign exchange risk in external currency derivatives is expressed as the effect on the market value of our currency derivatives portfolio of a five percent change in exchange rates against the total currency derivatives position.
Offsetting items in the balance sheet, future commitments and forecasted flows are not included.
Foreign exchange risks are classified as economic exposure, transaction exposure or translation exposure.
67
Table of Contents
Economic exposure
We are dependent on the development of exchange
rates in SEK and on economic conditions in Sweden. As of December 31, 2002, approximately 47 percent of all employees were located in Sweden, while Sweden accounted for only 6 percent of total sales in 2002. Our exports from Sweden are normally
invoiced in foreign currencies. With this substantial SEK-denominated cost base, a gradually stronger SEK exchange rate during 2002 had a negative impact on us, compared to our competitors with costs denominated in EUR or USD.
Transaction exposure
An analysis of net transaction exposures for 2002 by currency, shows
net revenue exposures in US Dollar (USD), Euro (EUR), Chinese Renminbi (CNY), Japanese Yen (JPY) and British Pound Sterling (GBP). A +/–10 percent change in the exchange rates between SEK and the currencies with the largest exposures would have
had the following effects (in SEK billions) on income before taxes in 2002 before any hedging effects are considered: USD +/–1.6 (1.9), EUR +/
–0.8 (1.2), CNY +/–0.7 (1.0), JPY +/–0.5 (0.8) and GBP +/–0.4 (0.4). Both
committed and forecasted transaction exposures are hedged to safeguard business margins and to reduce volatility in earnings. Due to the stronger SEK, the effects of hedging during 2002 increased earnings by approximately SEK 2 billion, calculated
by comparing the average hedged rates on the hedge contract portfolio as of January 1, 2002, with average spot rates during 2002. As of December 31, 2002, anticipated net transaction exposures were hedged for the next 9–12 months, giving us
time to react to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates by changing prices or renegotiating contracts with customers and vendors. Unrealized currency forwards carried a positive market value of approximately SEK 3 billion at year-end.
Hedging activities are centralized to Ericsson Treasury Services to the
extent possible. The local companies enter into currency forward agreements with Ericsson Treasury Services, which in turn reverses these transactions in the financial markets. In general, internal sales from Sweden to subsidiaries operating outside
Sweden are made in the same currency as the local company use when selling to the external customer, in order to minimize the exposure in the non Swedish companies.
Translation exposure
We have many subsidiaries operating outside Sweden. The value of such foreign investments is exposed to exchange rate fluctuations, which affects
the consolidated balance sheet and income statement when translated to SEK. Translation exposure in foreign subsidiaries is hedged according to the following policy established by our Board of Directors:
•
Monetary net in companies translated using the temporal method (translation effects in investments affecting the income statement) is hedged to 100 percent.
•
Equity in companies translated using the current method (translation effects are reported directly in stockholders' equity in the balance sheet) is hedged up to 20
percent in selected companies. The translation differences reported in equity during 2002 were negative SEK 4.9 billion, mainly due to a stronger SEK.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risks through market value fluctuations of certain balance sheet items and through changes in interest expenses and
revenues. Interest rate risks are managed centrally by Ericsson Treasury Services. The net debt position was SEK –5.6 billion at the end of 2002. In managing our interest rate exposure we use derivative instruments, such as forward rate
agreements, interest rate swaps and futures.

external derivatives only, hence offsetting items in the balance sheet, future commitments and forecasted flows are not included. The calculation takes netting effects into account; the total net risk is therefore not the sum of the individual
amounts.
Our aim is to avoid risk in the form of a
mismatch between fixed and floating interest bearing balance sheet items. To achieve this, having large gross interest revenues and costs, we strive to a position where all interest rates are floating.

Table of Contents
Risk Related to our Share Price
Ericsson is exposed to the development of its own
share price through stock option and stock purchase plans for employees. The obligation to deliver shares under these plans is covered by holding B shares in treasury and warrants for issuance of new B shares. An increase in the share price will
result in social security charges, which represents a risk to both Ericsson's income statement and cash flow. The income statement exposure in some of the option programs is hedged through the purchase of call options. The cash flow exposure is
fully hedged through the holding of B shares in treasury and through the purchase of call options on B shares.
CREDIT RISK
Credit risk is divided into two categories: customer finance risk and financial credit risk.
Customer Finance Risk
In common with industry practice, some of our customers request that we arrange or provide financing for them as a condition of obtaining or bidding for contracts in infrastructure projects. Customer finance arrangements may include
financing provided in connection with the sale of our systems and services, funding for other costs incurred by our customers that are associated with network installation and integration of our products or, on an exceptional basis, financing for
working capital purposes.
Our credit approval process
requires that the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors approve all commitments in excess of USD 25 million to extend financing support to customers.
Our customer finance arrangements are comprised of direct lending by us to our customers or financial guarantees issued by us in respect of lending
to our customers by third party sources. In most of our customer finance arrangements, we maintain security interests, normally in the form of pledges of equipment and/or pledges of shares. Restructuring efforts for cases of troubled debt may lead
to temporary holdings of such equity interests. We seek to limit our customer financing exposure, both in amount and duration of the credits given. To achieve this, our strategy is to engage banks and other financial institutions as early as
possible in our customer finance discussions. Initially, we may have to guarantee such arrangements but our aim is to subsequently transfer all risk to the financial markets.
Our customers generally request that we commit to customer finance early in the process of negotiating a sale. We
consider customer finance as an alternative to be offered selectively to our customers in the event that third party funding sources are unavailable. By "credit commitments" included in this report, we mean unutilized undertakings by
Ericsson to make funds available directly or indirectly (through a third party against an Ericsson guarantee) under a legally binding credit agreement. The terms of our commitments vary. In some cases, incremental commitments become available to the
customer as they sign additional contracts with us. In other cases, the availability of commitments is conditional to the customer meeting certain future operational or financial requirements.
Accounting for customer finance
On-balance sheet credits are receivables due directly to us from
customers, which are recorded as assets on the balance sheet, at their net book value i.e. offset by risk provisions for potentially uncollectible amounts.
Off-balance sheet credits relate to credits, funded by a third-party and with an Ericsson guarantee (covering a part or the entire outstanding
funded amount). Any recourse to us under guarantees or other similar commitments for the credit risk relating to third-party financing are reported as contingent liabilities, net, after deductions of any risk provisions made. Provisions made for
these outstanding amounts are recorded as liabilities on the balance sheet.
As of January 1, 2002, according to new Swedish GAAP, we consolidate certain finance companies previously accounted for under the equity method. Certain off-balance sheet credits thereby became on-balance credits. The
consolidated financial statements for 2000 and 2001 have been restated.
Outstanding customer finance credits
As of December 31, 2002, our total outstanding risk exposure relating to customer finance credits was SEK 21.8 billion. Loans amounted to SEK 21.1 billion, of which SEK 0.8 billion was guaranteed by third parties. In addition, SEK
1.5 billion was in the form of off-balance sheet credits guaranteed by us. As of that date, we also had unutilized commitments of SEK 14.0 billion. The outstanding customer loans and financial guarantees relate to infrastructure projects in
different geographic markets and to a large number of customers. As of December 31, 2002, of a total of 176 customer loans originated by or guaranteed by us, the six largest customer finance arrangements represented 63 percent of the total credit
exposure.

1)
The increase in on-balance credits by SEK 2.4 billion to SEK 21.1 billion mainly reflects that credits previously recorded as off-balance have been acquired. The major part of
this increase, the Mobilcom credit, has been transferred to a France Telecom bond risk as of March 3, 2003.
2)
During 2002, off-balance sheet financing decreased significantly by SEK 11.3 billion to SEK 1.5 billion. This decrease is mainly the result of releases of Ericsson as
guarantor under credit facilities and cancellations of off-balance arrangements, including a credit portfolio set up in 2001. The credit portfolio enabled Ericsson to sell a number of credit receivables to a group of banks, funding the portfolio
against a first loss Ericsson guarantee. Ericsson is no longer exposed to put arrangements with any form of triggers with financial institutions.
3)
Third-party risk coverage represents credit risk of our on-balance sheet credits borne by third-party financial institutions. These are cases where financial institutions
and/or the Swedish Export Credits Guarantee Board (EKN) cover some risk by issuing financial guarantees.
4)
On-balance sheet credits, net book value is adjusted by risk provisions.
Outstanding exposure by region
Of our total outstanding customer finance credit exposure as of December 31, 2002, 52 percent related to Latin America (Mexico and Brazil represent
20 percent respectively of the total global exposure), 25 percent to Western Europe, 13 percent to Central and Eastern Europe/Middle East/Africa, 7 percent to Asia/Pacific and 3 percent to North America. We have a significant presence in emerging
markets. Customers in these markets frequently request financial support from us as a result of unavailability of financing from local financial markets or cross-border financing sources. Banks are generally reluctant to bear the risk that political
events could prevent customers in these markets from fulfilling their payment obligations. These political risks are partially mitigated by obtaining risk coverage for our financing arrangements from various export credit agencies, regional
development banks and institutions such as the World Bank Group, including the Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC).
The rate of investment in telecommunications in Latin America has declined as a result of the slow-down in regional
economy. We do not intend to take on significant additional credit risk exposure in this region and instead we will focus on collecting outstanding amounts under existing facilities.
Outstanding exposure by technology
As of December 31, 2002, 23 percent of our total outstanding customer finance was in respect of 3G networks and the
remainder was in respect of 2.5G and 2G networks.
Credit losses
We made risk provisions for customer credits of
SEK 3.1 billion in 2002 and SEK 2.5 billion in 2001. The level of provision is determined for each credit based on an assessment of the risk exposure, taking into account commercial and political risk factors. The provisions for all credits and
financial guarantees are reviewed on a regular basis. In 2002 and 2001, we incurred credit losses of SEK 1.7 billion and SEK 1.3 billion respectively. No losses were incurred in years 1999 and 2000.

Financial Credit Risk
Financial instruments carry an element of risk in that counterparts may be unable to fulfill their obligations. Ericsson Treasury Services mitigates
these risks by investing excess liquidity primarily in government bonds and treasury bills, commercial papers and corporate bonds, with short-term ratings of at least A-2/P-2 and long-term ratings of at least A. No credit losses were incurred during
2002.

Tax, currency and
other legal and economic restrictions in certain countries can affect our ability to transfer funds within the group and to provide funding to certain subsidiaries. However, the impact of such restrictions is currently very limited.
FUNDING AND LIQUIDITY RISK
We maintain sufficient liquidity through cash management, investments
in highly liquid fixed income securities, and by having sufficient committed and uncommitted credit lines in place for potential funding needs.
We define liquidity as cash and short-term investments up to twelve months. Under US GAAP, liquidity is defined as cash and short-term investments
up to three months. During 2002, liquidity decreased by SEK 2.7 billion to SEK 66.2 billion and net liquidity, after deduction of short-term interest bearing financial liabilities, increased by SEK 9.5 billion to SEK 52.7 billion, mainly due to the
SEK 29 billion of net proceeds from the rights issue in September.
We finance our operations externally principally by borrowing directly in the Swedish and international bank and debt capital markets.

Our aggregate outstanding interest bearing liabilities were SEK 60.6 billion as of December 31, 2002. Long-term interest bearing debt was SEK 58.2
billion, comprising long-term debt of SEK 47.2 billion (including current maturities of long-term debt of SEK 11.1 billion), with an average maturity of three years, and provisions for pensions and similar commitments of SEK 11.0 billion. Long-term
debt consisted mainly of borrowings under our Euro Medium Term Note program. Short-term interest bearing liabilities were SEK 2.4 billion with average maturity of three months. Short-term borrowing consisted primarily of bank overdrafts, bank loans
and other short-term financial loans.
We have a USD 5.0
billion Euro Medium Term Note program of which USD 4.0 billion was utilized at December 31, 2002. Issuances under this program are denominated in EUR, USD, SEK and GBP and have an average maturity of three years. The rating downgrades since January
2002 caused an estimated increase in funding costs of approximately SEK 550 million per year relating to two issuances of notes of EUR 2 billion and GBP 226 million (SEK 21.5 billion in total) under the program. No new long-term debt was issued
under the program during 2002.
Of the USD 1.6 billion (SEK
14.0 billion) long-term committed credit facilities available to us as of December 31, 2002, our USD 600 million long-term committed credit facility has interest rates linked to our credit rating as well as certain financial covenants, which we need
to comply with in
71
Table of Contents
order to draw-down funds under the facility. Pursuant to these covenants, prior to any draw-down, our net debt may not exceed USD 4.5 billion and our
payment readiness must be at least USD 3.0 billion. Additionally, after June 30, 2004, our net debt to EBITDA may not exceed 3 to 1. The nine downgrades occurring since beginning of 2002 have triggered additional annual commitment fees of SEK 17
million per year relating to our undrawn USD 600 million facility. This facility was amended in June 2002 to replace certain financial covenants linked to our credit rating with other financial covenants. According to the amended terms, a subsequent
downgrade from current rating levels will not result in any additional increase in costs.
In October 2001, we entered into a EUR 400 million (approximately SEK 3.6 billion) long-term committed credit facility, but in February 2002, this facility became unavailable to us after Moody's lowered our
credit rating from Baa1 to Baa2 and it is not included in our total long-term committed facilities. Our short-term borrowing requirements typically peak in the middle of each quarter. Historically, we have relied on our commercial paper programs in
the Swedish, European and U.S. markets to satisfy short-term liquidity needs. As of December 31, 2002, our total programs amounted to the equivalent of SEK 27 billion. However, our access to liquidity under these programs is now limited. Our access
to funding has decreased and may continue to decrease or become more expensive as a result of our operational and financial performance and market conditions. Currently and in the near term we anticipate using our cash position to satisfy short-term
liquidity requirements.
In December 2001, we entered into
a one-year financial lease agreement of USD 744 million (SEK 6.5 billion). The entity owning these assets was acquired in December 2002 by the Parent Company.
We have a securitization program amounting to USD 250 million with Eureka Securitization plc, under which we sell trade receivables in the U.S., UK,
Dutch and German markets at an effective cost of one month LIBOR + 150 BP on a fully drawn basis. The program is settled on a weekly basis with new receivables sold to replace those collected during the week. Eureka Securitization plc is externally
managed and funded in the commercial paper market. As of December 31, 2002, the program was not utilized. The program is currently under review following the Moody's rating downgrade of Ericsson from Ba2 to B1 in February 2003.
Our long-term objective is to have a payment readiness of between 7 and
10 percent of net sales to adapt to changes in liquidity requirements. Payment readiness is an internal measure, defined as net liquidity plus long-term unused credit facilities (excluding undrawn committed facilities where we are not able to meet
borrowing conditions) expressed as percentage of net sales. During periods of increased uncertainty, the payment readiness target may be significantly higher. As of December 31, 2002, payment readiness had increased to SEK 67.1 billion,
corresponding to 46 percent of net sales, compared to SEK 65.5 billion, corresponding to 28 percent of net sales, as of December 31, 2001. The increase in percent is largely an effect of lower net sales. The net proceeds of SEK 29 billion from the
rights issue in September had a positive effect on payment readiness.
To support the long-term payment readiness objective, our policy stipulates that the greater part of borrowings should be long-term or covered by long-term credit facilities.
After the downgrade in February 2003, by Moody's, our long-term
credit rating is currently B1 (Moody's) and BB (Standard & Poor's), both with negative outlook. The current ratings by Moody's and Standard & Poor's are considered to be below investment grade.
Since the beginning of 2002, our long-term credit ratings have been
downgraded nine times:

On June 17, 2002,
Moody's lowered our short-term credit rating from P-2 to P-3, and on July 26, 2002, Moody's, lowered our short-term credit rating from P-3 to NP. On May 16, 2002, Standard & Poor's lowered our short-term credit rating from A-2 to
A-3, and on August 1, 2002, Standard & Poor's lowered our short-term credit rating from A-3 to B.
Given the current market conditions in the telecommunications industry and the uncertainty of the outlook for the industry, it is possible that we
may suffer additional downgrades. If our credit rating further deteriorates, we will incur additional interest expenses. A downgrade from current rating to B2 by Moody's or BB– by Standard & Poor's would have an aggregate impact
on our annual funding costs of SEK 55 million solely in respect of notes outstanding under our Euro Medium Term Note program. If we are unable to comply with financial ratio covenants, we may need to repay or refinance the related debt and/or other
debt which contains cross default provisions. This may have a materially adverse impact on our financial condition.

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Company's United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and United States
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's
management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Within 90 days prior to the date of this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the
Company's management, including the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures. Based on the
foregoing, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures were effective in timely identifying material information potentially required to be included in
the Company's SEC filings.
There have been no
significant changes in the Company's internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect the internal controls subsequent to the date the Company completed its evaluation.

Report of Independent
Accountants
To the Board of
Directors and Stockholders of Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ)
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated and parent company balance sheets and the related consolidated and parent company income statements, statements of cash flows and stockholders' equity present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson (publ) and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2001 and 2002 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2002,
in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Sweden. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance
with auditing standards generally accepted in Sweden and the United States of America, which 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 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, and evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
As discussed in the Accounting Principles note to the financial statements, with effect from January 1, 2002, the Company prospectively adopted RR15, "Intangible Assets".
Accounting principles generally accepted in Sweden vary in certain
important respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The application of the latter would have affected the determination of consolidated net income (loss) expressed in Swedish Kronor for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2002 and the determination of consolidated stockholders' equity and consolidated financial position also expressed in Swedish Kronor at December 31, 2000, 2001 and 2002 to the extent summarized in Note 29
to the consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Principles
The consolidated financial statements of
Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson and its subsidiaries ("the Company") are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Sweden, applying the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council's
(Redovisningsrådet) recommendations (RR). These accounting principles differ in certain respects from generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP). For a description of major differences as applicable to the
Company's financial statements, see Note 29.
In 2002
the following recommendations were adopted:
•
Consolidated Financial Statements (RR1:00)
•
Intangible assets (RR15)
•
Provisions, contingent liabilities and contingent assets (RR16)
•
Impairment of assets (RR17)
•
Earnings per share (RR18)
•
Discontinuing operations (RR19)
•
Interim financial reporting(RR20)
•
Borrowing costs (RR21)
•
Related party disclosure (RR23).
As a consequence of the adoption of RR1:00, certain finance companies previously accounted for under the equity method were consolidated. Previous
years are restated. RR15 had a material positive effect on income for 2002. Only prospective application is allowed.
PARENT COMPANY
The financial statements of the Parent Company are also prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Sweden. Investments
in subsidiary and associated companies are accounted for on a cost basis. Parent Company income includes dividends received from subsidiaries and other inter-company revenues and costs, which are eliminated in the consolidated accounts.
RESTATEMENT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As from January 1, 2002, Ericsson consolidates certain finance
companies previously accounted for under the equity method. The consolidated financial statements for 2000 and 2001 have been restated. In accordance with RR 1:00, these companies were consolidated by the Company since it retains the majority of the
residual or ownership risks of the entity. The entities were previously not consolidated by the Company since Ericsson does not own a majority of the voting power or control the companies through an agreement with the other shareholders, which were
requirements for consolidation in the previous standard, RR 1:96, followed by Ericsson through 2001. The Parent Company financial statements have not been restated to reflect the changed classification of these entities to subsidiaries.
The adoption of RR 1:00 has not resulted in any change to
net income (loss) or stockholders' equity for year 2000 or 2001. The restatement of the balance sheet resulted in an increase in consolidated total assets (primarily short-term and long-term customer financing) and an increase in consolidated
total liabilities (primarily current and long-term liabilities to financial institutions) of SEK 7,465 million as of December 31, 2001 and SEK 12,968 million as of December 31, 2000. The restatement was already made in our 2001 Annual Report on Form
20-F.
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Parent Company and all subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are all companies in which the Company has an ownership and directly or indirectly has a voting majority or by agreement has a decisive influence or it retains the majority of the residual or
ownership risk of the entity. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the purchase method, whereby consolidated stockholders' equity includes equity in subsidiaries and associated companies earned only after their
acquisition.
In the consolidated Income Statement,
minority interests are, in deviation from RR1:00, divided into two items; share in income before taxes and share in taxes. The reason is that this method gives a more fair view of the important measure Income before taxes.
Material investments in associated companies, including joint ventures,
where voting stock interest is at least 20 percent but not more than 50 percent, are accounted for according to the equity method. Ericsson's share of income before tax in these companies is reported in item "Share in earnings of joint
ventures and associated companies", included in Operating Income. Taxes are included in item "Taxes". Unrealized internal profits in inventory in associated companies purchased from subsidiaries are eliminated in proportion to
ownership in the consolidated accounts. Investments in associated companies are shown at equity after adjustments for unrealized intercompany profits and unamortized goodwill (see Goodwill below).
Undistributed earnings of associated companies included in consolidated
restricted equity are reported as "Equity proportion reserve", as detailed in Note 14. Minor investments in associated companies and all other investments are accounted for as Other investments, and carried at the lower of cost or fair
value.
F-10
Table of Contents
GOODWILL
Goodwill, positive and negative, resulting from acquisitions of
consolidated companies is amortized/reversed according to individual assessment of each item's estimated economic life, resulting in amortization periods of up to 20 years. Depending on the nature of the acquisition, goodwill amortization is
reported under "Research and development and other technical expenses", "Selling expenses" or "Administrative expenses".
TRANSLATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY
For most subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companies, the local currency is the currency in which the companies primarily generate and
expend cash, and is thus considered their functional (business) currency. Their financial statements plus goodwill related to such companies, if any, are translated to SEK using the current method, whereby any translation adjustments are reported
directly to consolidated stockholders' equity. When a company accounted for in accordance with these principles is sold, accumulated translation adjustments are included in consolidated income.
Financial statements of companies with finance activities and other
companies, having such close relations with the Swedish operations that their functional currency is considered to be SEK, are translated using the monetary method. Adjustments from translation of financial statements of these companies are included
in the consolidated Income Statement (see Note 14).
Financial statements of companies operating, for example, in countries with highly inflationary economies, whose functional currency is considered to be a currency other than the local currency, are translated in two steps. In the
first step, remeasurement is made into the functional currency. Gains and losses resulting from this remeasurement are included in the consolidated income statement. In the second step, from the functional currency to SEK, balance sheet items are
translated at year-end exchange rates, and income statement items at the average rates of exchange during the year. The resulting translation adjustments are reported directly against consolidated stockholders' equity. The remeasurement method
gives a more fair view of these financial statements than a translation directly to SEK, since companies concerned operate in de facto USD- or EUR-based economies.
TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCY ITEMS IN INDIVIDUAL COMPANIES
In the financial statements, receivables and liabilities in foreign currencies have been translated at year-end
exchange rates.
Gains and losses on foreign exchange are
divided into operational and financial. Net operational gains and losses are included in "Cost of sales". Gains and losses on foreign exchange attributable to financial assets are included in financial income, and gains and losses related
to financial liabilities are included in financial expenses.
Translation effects related to permanent financing of foreign subsidiaries are reported directly to consolidated stockholders' equity, net of tax effects.
VALUATION OF AND ACCOUNTING FOR FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Short-term cash investments held by companies other than Ericsson Treasury Services AB are valued at the lowest of
acquisition cost plus accrued interest and market value.
Short-term investments, interest related derivatives and foreign exchange derivatives in Ericsson Treasury Services AB are valued to the lowest of total acquisition cost and total market value in accordance with the lower of cost or
market principle. Unrealized interest rate gains are reserved.
For companies other than Ericsson Treasury Services AB derivative instruments are used mainly to hedge financial, interest and currency risks. Foreign exchange derivatives hedging certain positions have been valued in a manner
reflecting the accounting for the hedged position. Interest rate-related derivatives linked to specific investments or loans or which are applied to hedge interest rate positions are valued in the same manner as the hedged position.
Gains and losses from derivatives in Ericsson Treasury Services AB are
reported net as other financial income/expenses. For other companies, gains and losses are reported in the same manner as the underlying position.
When a transaction hedged in advance ceases to be an exposure, the hedge is closed. As a result, deviations between actual and hedged flows are
recognized in income as soon as they are identified.
Financial assets and liabilities are reported net when a legally enforceable right for set-off exists and there is intent to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability at the same time.
INTANGIBLE AND TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS
Intangible and tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation, adjusted with net value of revaluations.
Annual depreciation is reported as plan depreciation, generally using the straight-line method, with estimated useful lives of, in general, 40 years on buildings, 20 years on land improvements, 3 to 10 years on machinery and
equipment, and up to 5 years on rental equipment. Intangible assets are amortized over a period of maximum 5 years. See Goodwill above for amortization of goodwill. Amortization and depreciation is included in "Cost of Sales" and in the
respective functional operating expenses.
F-11
Table of Contents
The costs of computer
software developed or obtained for internal use as well as the costs incurred for the development of software that will be sold, leased or otherwise marketed are, in accordance with RR15, capitalized as intangible assets when technological
feasibility has been established and when future economic benefits can be demonstrated. See also Research and Development Costs.
Impairment reviews of tangible and intangible fixed assets, including goodwill, are performed whenever there is an indication of possible
impairment. The carrying values of fixed assets, including goodwill related to those assets, are not considered to be recoverable when the expected discounted cash flows from those assets are less than their carrying values. An impairment loss is
determined based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of those assets. Losses on fixed assets to be disposed of are determined in a similar manner, taking into account the selling price reduced by the costs of disposal.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market on a first-in,
first-out (FIFO) basis. Consideration has been given to risks of obsolescence.
RECEIVABLES
Receivables are
reported at anticipated realizable value.
Sales of trade
receivables and customer financing accounts are reflected as a reduction of receivables in the balance sheets and the proceeds received are included in cash flows from operating activities.
For sale of receivables with recourse a provision has been recorded for
the estimated value of the recourse liability. The excess of the recourse obligation over the recorded provision is included in contingent liabilities.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The majority of our products and services are sold as a part of a contract. The nature of the products and services being sold, and the contractual
terms taken as a whole, determine the appropriate revenue recognition method.
Sales revenues are recorded net of value added taxes, goods returned, trade discounts and allowances.
Revenue from hardware is recognized with reference to all significant contractual terms when there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, when
the product has been delivered, when the fee is fixed and determinable and when collection is reasonably assured and provided that there are no undelivered elements that are essential to the functionality of the delivered elements.
Revenue from software is also recognized with reference to all
significant contractual terms when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the product has been delivered, the fee is fixed and determinable and when collection is reasonably assured.
For delivery-type contracts that have multiple elements, revenue is
allocated to each element based on evidence of fair values. When vendor specific objective evidence of fair value is not available for all elements we defer the recognition of revenue until all elements have been delivered or evidence of fair value
exists for the undelivered elements. We do not generally provide extended payment terms but may provide customer financing on construction-type contracts.
Revenues from construction-type contracts are generally recognized using the percentage-of-completion method. Completion is measured using either
the milestone output method or the cost-to-cost method. The terms of construction-type contracts generally define certain milestones which, in addition to providing basis for progress billing, are also the basis of measuring the degree of completion
of the contract. Revenues from contracts associated with new technology are not recognized until specified functionality has been achieved, customer acceptance has been obtained and other contractual terms have been satisfied. The profitability of
long-term contracts is periodically assessed and revised, if necessary, based on changes in circumstances. Provisions for losses are immediately recorded when such losses become known.
Revenue for maintenance services, including post-contract customer support, is recognized ratably over the contract
term. Revenue for training, consulting, engineering, installation and other services is generally recognized when these services are performed.
Customer contracts include a high degree of integration between different products, software and services, and are often a mix of construction-type
contracts and normal delivery-type contracts. A disclosure in accordance with RR10, §39a, and RR11, §35b, regarding the amounts for different categories of revenue is considered not meaningful and is not calculated by the Company.
For sales between consolidated companies, the same pricing
is normally applied as in transactions with other customers, taking into account, however, that certain costs do not arise in transactions between affiliated companies.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COSTS
Research and development costs are charged to expense as incurred. However, the costs incurred for the development of software that will be sold,
leased or otherwise marketed are capitalized when technological feasibility has been established. These capitalized costs are subject to an ongoing assessment of recoverability based on anticipated future revenues and changes in technologies. Costs
that are capitalized include direct labor and related overhead. Amortization of capitalized development costs begins when the product is available for general release. Amortization is made on a product-by-product basis according to either the
straight-line method over periods not exceeding five years or the sales ratio method. Unamortized capitalized development costs determined to be in excess of net realizable value are expensed immediately.
F-12
Table of Contents
Research and development
costs directly related to orders from customers are accounted for as a part of cost of sales.
LEASING
Financial leasing
contracts are capitalized and reported as tangible assets and as other current liabilities and other long-term liabilities.
DEFERRED TAX
The Group and, as from 2001, also the Parent Company report deferred taxes attributable to temporary differences between the book value of assets
and liabilities and their tax value, and also deferred tax receivables attributable to unutilized loss carryforwards to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the unused tax losses can be utilized.
Appropriations and Untaxed reserves are not reported in
the consolidated financial statements. Such items reported by consolidated companies have been reversed, applying the current tax rate applicable in each country. The deferred tax so calculated is included in the consolidated income statement in
Income taxes for the year. The after-tax effect is stated in the income statement as part of net income for the year, and in the balance sheet as restricted stockholders' equity.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are, in deviation from RR9, reported as current and long-term in the balance sheet,
since the Company considers that this method gives a more fair view of the Company's financial position.
The accumulated deferred tax liability is adjusted each year by applying the current tax rate in each country and is reported in the consolidated
balance sheet as Deferred tax. An adjustment of deferred tax liability attributable to changes in tax rates is included in the consolidated income statement in Income taxes for the year.
Deferred tax assets on internal profit in inventory are calculated to reflect the tax effect in the periods in which
the temporary differences are expected to be reversed.
STATEMENT OF
CASH FLOWS
Foreign subsidiaries' transactions
are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. Subsidiaries purchased and/or sold, net of cash acquired/sold, are reported as cash flow from investment activities and do not affect reported cash flow from operations.
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash, bank and short-term
investments due within 12 months.
EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTIONS AND STOCK
PURCHASE PLAN
No compensation cost is recognized for
any of our current stock option plans, as the employee strike price is equal to the market price at grant date. When the options are exercised, however, social security charges are to be paid, in certain countries, on the value of the employee
benefit; based on the difference between the market price of the share and the strike price. During the vesting period, preliminary costs for such social security charges are accrued. In some plans, these costs are reduced by income from related
hedging arrangements.
For the stock purchase plan, a
compensation cost, based on market price of the share at the employee's investment date, is recognized in the income statement and accrued during the vesting period. When shares are matched, social security charges are to be paid in certain
countries on the value of the employee benefit. The employee benefit is based on the share's market value at the matching date. During the vesting period, preliminary social security charges are accrued.
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net income by the average number of shares outstanding during the
year.
Diluted earnings per share are calculated by
dividing adjusted net income by the sum of the average number of shares outstanding plus all additional shares that would have been outstanding if all convertible debentures were converted and stock options were exercised (potential ordinary
shares). Net income is adjusted by reversal of interest expense for convertible debentures net of tax.
Potential ordinary shares are treated as dilutive when, and only when, their conversion to ordinary shares decrease net profit per share.
CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES IN 2003
The following new recommendations will be adopted by the Company in
2003:
•
Presentation of financial statements (RR22)
•
Investment property (RR24)
•
Segment reporting (RR25)
•
Events after the balance sheet date (RR26)
•
Financial instruments: Disclosure and presentation (RR27)
•
Accounting for Government Grants (RR28)
The recommendation Employee Benefits (RR29) will be adopted from January 1, 2004.

Consolidated
Deferred tax assets refer to tax loss carryforwards
and temporary differences due to certain provisions for mainly restructuring, inventory write-down, warranty commitments and allowances for doubtful receivables. Deferred tax assets regarding tax losses carryforwards amount to SEK 13,567 million
(SEK 8,525 million in 2001, SEK 515 million in 2000) of which SEK 143 million (SEK 335 million in 2001, SEK 306 million in 2000) is reported as current and SEK 13,424 million (SEK 8,190 million in 2001, SEK 209 million in 2000) is reported as
long-term.
Deferred tax liabilities refer mainly to
capitalization of software development costs.
Deferred tax
assets are expected to be utilized as we believe Ericsson will be able to report sufficient taxable income in the future to benefit from these tax reductions. Most of the tax loss carryforwards are related to countries with long or indefinite
periods of utilization, mainly Sweden. Of the SEK 13,567 million in deferred tax assets related to tax loss carryforwards, SEK 10,300 million will not expire until 2008 or later.
Parent Company
Deferred tax assets refer mainly to costs related to customer financing and certain pension obligations.
Investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companies
Due to losses in certain subsidiaries the book value
of certain investment in those subsidiaries, joint ventures and associated companies are less than the tax value of these investments. However, since deferred tax assets have been reported with respect also to losses in these companies and due to
the uncertainty as to which deductions can be realized in the future, with respect to the above differences between book and tax value, no additional deferred tax assets are reported for these differences.
Tax loss carryforwards
Deferred tax assets regarding unutilized tax loss carryforwards are
reported to the extent that realization of the related tax benefit through the future taxable profits is probable also when considering the period during which these can be utilized, as described below.
At December 31, 2002, these unutilized tax loss carryforwards, amounted
to SEK 45,782 million. The tax effect of the tax losses carryforwards is reported as assets.
The final years in which these loss carryforwards can be utilized are shown in the following table:

This is a result of that we sometimes receive such instruments as security for our receivable. Our policy is to sell such instruments as soon as feasible.

Of retained earnings, SEK 279 million will be
appropriated to reserves not available for distribution, in accordance with the proposals of the respective companies' boards of directors. In evaluating the consolidated financial position, it should be noted that earnings in foreign companies
may be subject to taxation when transferred to Sweden and, in some instances, such transfers of earnings may be limited by currency restrictions. Consolidated unrestricted retained earnings are translated at the year-end exchange rate. Cumulative
translation adjustments have been distributed among unrestricted and restricted stockholders' equity.

Swedish GAAP and tax regulations require a
company to report certain differences between the tax basis and book value as an untaxed reserve in the balance sheet of the stand-alone financial statements. Changes to these reserves are reported as an appropriation or withdrawal to untaxed
reserves in the income statement.
Changes in other untaxed reserves in the Parent Company in 2000 consist of the following: withdrawal of tax
equalization reserve, SEK 0 million (SEK 127 million in 2001); appropriations to reserve for doubtful receivables, SEK 247 million (SEK –389 million in 2001) and withdrawal of income deferral reserve SEK 1,419 million (SEK –446 million in
2001). Deferred tax liability, not accounted for, on untaxed reserves, amounts to SEK 585 million in 2002, SEK 1,144 million in 2001 and SEK 1,473 million 2000.

Pensions
The Company participates in local pension plans
in countries in which we operate. There are principally two types of pension plans:
•
Defined contribution plans, where the Company's only obligation is to pay a pension premium to a fund or insurance company on behalf of the employee. No liability is
recorded on the books.
•
Defined benefit plans, where the Company's undertaking is to provide pension benefits related to services rendered and salary levels. These plans are managed in two ways:
–
by setting up a trust to manage the company's contributions to the plan, in which case the recorded provision on the balance sheet is the net of benefit obligations and
plan assets.
–
by recording of total accumulated benefits as a provision on the balance sheet with no assigned plan assets. This method is used in Sweden and subject to insurance with the
Pension Registration Institute (PRI) which is covered by Swedish law on safeguarding of pension commitments.
In the Ericsson group, most companies have defined contribution plans and therefor no pension provisions on the books. In a dozen countries other
than Sweden, the subsidiaries have defined benefit plans with trust funds, and record the net
F-26
Table of Contents
of accumulated benefit obligations and plan assets as provisions. In Sweden, the total pension benefits are a mixed solution, with some parts being
defined contribution-type and others defined benefit:
•
social security payroll taxes for all employees include fees for state-governed basic pension benefits. No liability is recorded in company books.
•
all blue-collar employee plans and certain parts of white-collar plans, such as death and disability, are defined contribution plans. Some parts of early-retirement plans are
also arranged as defined contribution plans.
•
white-collar employees' age pension benefits are defined benefit-type plans. No trust is established and the full liability is recorded on the books with compulsory
insurance coverage. The liability is calculated by a third party institution, PRI, according to actuarial assumptions defined outside the company's control. PRI also administers the pension payments to employees.
The main part of total provisions for pensions and similar benefits
amounting to SEK 10,997 million, is attributable to the Swedish pension plans, of which SEK 9,175 million (SEK 7,459 million in 2001) are PRI-liability. The Parent Company's pension liabilities include an obligation in the amount of SEK 716
million (SEK 532 million in 2001) in accordance with an agreement with PRI.
In accordance with new Swedish accounting principles, RR29, to be adopted in 2004, actuarial assumptions such as future salary levels and expected return on any plan assets among other, are required to disclose costs and net
liabilities for defined benefit plans.
Ericsson will apply
RR29 in year 2004 and the cumulative effect of the accounting change will be charged directly to equity.
If Ericsson would have applied RR29 as of January 1, 2003, the pension provisions would have been increased by approximately SEK 2.8 billion. The
effect on equity, net after taxes, would have been approximately SEK 2 billion.
Deferred taxes
Deferred tax
liabilities as of December 31, 2002, relate mainly to capitalization of development costs.
Warranty commitments
Warranty provisions are made based on sales and contractual warranty periods of products sold. As the sales have decreased during the year compared to last year and warranties for Phones are now included in the accounts of SEMC,
provisions have also decreased.
Restructuring
During 2001, two restructuring programs were implemented and expenses
of SEK 15 billion were recognized, of which SEK 7 billion remained as unutilized provisions at the end of 2001. In 2002, the remaining provisions have largely been reversed to cover actual costs. At the end of this year, SEK 500 million remained and
we expect that these will be dissolved during the first quarter of 2003. During 2002, further restructuring activities were implemented. At year end, provisions of SEK 7 billion related to these activities remained. We expect that the main part of
the SEK 7 billion will be dissolved to cover costs during 2003 and the remaining part during the first quarter of 2004.
Customer financing
Total provisions for off-balance sheet customer financing is the sum of all individual provisions for each risk. The individual provisions are based
on a specific evaluation of each risk exposure.
Other
A significant part is related to contractual
penalties. Other provisions also include amounts for risks related to patent and other litigations and changes in techniques and markets. At year end 2002, we were involved in two ongoing patent litigations related to mobile communications, one with
Interdigital Communications Corporation and another with Harris Corporation. We have in both cases contested the claim of the other party.

Of the long-term
loans, SEK 21,484 million (note issuances of EUR 2,000 million and GBP 226 million pursuant to our Euro Medium Term Note program) have interest rates linked to the company's credit rating. The interest rate will increase/decrease 0.25 percent
per annum for each rating notch per rating agency (Standard & Poor's and Moody's) by which either or both have publicly announced a rating decrease/increase of the company's credit rating from BBB+/Baa1. The interest rate
applicable to these bond issues can not be less than the initial interest rate in the loan agreement.
The Parent Company has one convertible debenture loan

outstanding. The loan was issued in 1997, in the amount of SEK 6,000 million. Of the total amount, SEK 4,859 million were sold to Ericsson employees
and SEK 1,141 million were sold to our wholly owned subsidiary AB Aulis. In 2000, Aulis' debentures were sold externally. The debentures bear interest at 12 months Stockholm Inter Bank Offered Rate (STIBOR) less 1.5 percent and are convertible
to B shares from November 19, 1999, up to and including May 30, 2003. The loan matures on June 30, 2003. The outstanding amount per December 31, 2002, was SEK 4,486 million. After the stock issue in 2002, the conversion price is SEK 41,70 per share.
In the 1997 consolidated accounts, a capital discount
amounting to SEK 816 million was calculated, based on a market interest rate of 6.87 percent. The capital discount was credited to the Statutory reserve as an addition to capital in the consolidated financial statements as well as in the Parent
Company (Share premium reserve) in accordance with the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council's recommendation RR03. The capital discount is charged to income as interest expense during the period of the loan.
During 2002, debentures in the amount of SEK 0.03 million were converted
to 560 B shares. A conversion of all outstanding debentures would increase the number of shares with 108,172,247.
18    CURRENT LIABILITIES TO FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS AND UNUSED LINES OF CREDIT
Liabilities to financial institutions consist of bank overdrafts, bank
loans and other short-term financial loans. Unused portions of short-term lines of credit for the Company amounted to SEK 5,603 million. The Parent Company has none. The Parent Company had unused long-term lines of credit amounting to SEK 14,045
million and unutilized commercial paper and medium term note programs amounting to SEK 36,005 million. Of total unused lines of credit of SEK 19,648 million, SEK 5,267 million had conditions linked to the Company's credit rating. Due to lowered
credit ratings access to liquidity under our commercial paper programs is now limited.

Guarantees for
customer financing relate to such arrangements, where Ericsson is the guarantor for customers' payment obligations under credit facilities. A lender under these credit facilities is normally a bank, which thus is the beneficiary of the Ericsson
guarantee, covering the entire or part of the outstanding principal amount and accrued interest. The guarantees for customer finance are shown above at their net value (i.e. after provisions).
Of other contingent liabilities assumed by Ericsson, consolidated SEK
635 million in 2002 (SEK 1,082 million in 2001) are related to guarantees for performance provided to certain customers and SEK 830 million in 2002 (SEK 287 million in 2001) to guarantees for loans to other companies.
Of other contingent liabilities assumed by the Parent Company, SEK
12,521 million in 2002 (SEK 9,529 million in 2001) are related to subsidiaries and eliminated in consolidated

accounts. The largest guarantees are for Swedish subsidiaries' pension commitments, SEK 8,242 million in 2002
(SEK 5,536 million in 2001), and subsidiaries' borrowing from financial institutions, SEK 1,883 million in 2002 (SEK 2,306 million in 2001). Other contingent liabilities also include Parent Company guarantees for subsidiaries' performance
(bid bonds, performance bonds and other similar instruments) provided to certain customers and guarantees for loans to other companies.
The probability that Ericsson might need to make future payments of substantial amounts under the guarantees is remote.

In 2001, 750 employees were transferred from Unallocated to Other operations due to internal reorganization.
The majority of our employees in Sweden belong to the following trade
unions: SIF (the Swedish Union of Salaried Employees), the Swedish Association of Graduate Engineers, the Swedish Union of Industrial Supervisors and the Swedish Metal Worker's Union. Many of our employees located outside Sweden, in particular
those located in other European countries, also belong to trade unions. Central and industry-wide agreements on wages and salaries in Sweden were renegotiated in 2001 and remain applicable through the first quarter of 2004, resulting in an estimated
average increase of 3.0–3.5 percent per annum. We believe that our relations with these unions and our employees in general are good.

Ericsson's Remuneration Committee
The Board of Directors appoints members to Ericsson's Remuneration Committee each year. During 2002, the following Board members served on the Committee: Peter Sutherland (Chairman), Lena Torell, Michael Treschow and Per Lindh.
As mentioned in the section "Board of Directors and
Board Procedures", the Remuneration Committee's area of responsibility includes to review and prepare for resolution by the Board, strategies and general guidelines for compensation of employees, including incentive plans and retirement
compensation, as well as specific proposals for salary, other remuneration and retirement compensation to the President, Executive Vice Presidents and other officers reporting directly to the President or to the Chief Operating Officer.
The Remuneration Committee meets at least three times a
year. In November or December, the Committee will review salary survey data to approve any increase to base pay for the following year for executives. Increases, if any, are effective from the following January. At the same meeting a decision will
be made on the incentive targets for the following year.
In January or February, the Committee will approve any incentive payments to be made from the previous year's plan and agree to any new long term incentive plan prior to being presented to shareholders.
In the middle of the year the Committee meets again for a strategic
compensation review with representatives from the Company. They will consider trends in compensation, legislative changes, disclosure rules and the general global environment surrounding executive pay. The outcome is to agree the direction that
Ericsson will follow so that program designs and pay policies all align with the business.
Throughout Ericsson all remuneration decisions must comply with Ericsson's compensation policies and must be formally approved by the next most senior person in direct line of authority.

Comments to the table
•
Members and Deputy Members of the Board who are Ericsson employees received no remuneration or benefits other than their entitlements as employees. However, a fee of SEK 1,000
per attended meeting was paid to each employee representative on the Board. Further, employee representatives being also members of a committee of the Board received a fee of SEK 100 for each committee meeting.
•
Members of the Board, who are not employees of the company, have not received any other compensation than the fees paid for board duties.
•
Variable pay for the Corporate Management refers to short term incentives paid for 2001.
•
The President and the Corporate Management earned no variable pay during 2002.
•
As no component of other benefits was significant, these are not reported separately.
•
The pension cost for defined benefit plans has been calculated according to IAS 19.
•
Employee options were granted at no cost for the employee. The value of granted options has been calculated according to the Black & Scholes' method.
Severance pay
For the President and the Corporate Management the following applies.
Severance payments are not payable if an employee resigns
voluntarily, or if the employment is terminated as a result of flagrant disregard of responsibilities. Notice of termination given by the employee due to significant structural changes or other events occurred that, in a determining manner, affect
the content of work or the condition for the position, is equated with notice of termination served by the company. Upon termination of employment, severance pay amounting to two years' salary is normally paid. Such payments are made currently
during the pertinent period and cease at retirement age.
Ericsson's View on Compensation
Compensation is an ever changing environment. In such circumstances it is vital to maintain direction by following some basic principles:
•
each program—from base pay through to benefits—is designed to support and encourage specific behaviors and outcomes.
•
all the programs, taken together, should form a coherent overall structure.
•
many programs involve complex detail, but the fundamental principles of each should be simple to understand.
International competitiveness and expatriation
Ericsson operates in several international markets—including that
for talent. However, we do not believe that there is a true global market for executive talent, too many local cultural factors intrude.
Our chosen method of operation in this environment is to set pay levels according to competitive home country practice of each
executive—normally the most relevant market. Consequently, we expect to tolerate some pay inequality between executives of different nationalities in similar jobs.
Where an executive, for work reasons, is required to be based outside his/her home country, Ericsson applies an
expatriate pay structure. This is based on competitive pay levels from a variety of different countries, with additional payments to cover costs associated with hardship, housing and transport. Payment is based on EUR and adjusted for tax,
cost-of-living and exchange rates.
Fixed salary
We have a policy of tracking base pay for
executives at the median of the general industry of their respective home country. The competitive level is set using comparative salary survey data from several recognized independent consultants. Salaries are compared on a job-to-job basis and
also using a recognized points factor job evaluation system.
Increases for executives are mainly based on movements in this market data and the performance of the individual.
Variable pay
We believe that a substantial part of executive remuneration should be performance based. Our policy is that together with median base pay, the
variable part should be designed to achieve upper quartile total pay, compared to the general industry.
In 2002, the variable payment target level was 25 percent of base pay but actual payment could range from 0 to 50 percent. This target applied to
all executives including the President. In 2002, no variable pay was earned since performance targets were not met.
F-32
Table of Contents
Because variable pay is
integrated with base pay, targets are chosen each year to be demanding but fair, consistent with the prevailing business environment. In practise this means that variable pay is not directly related to the absolute level of profitability of the
company.
Usually each executive has a range of financial
and measurable non-financial targets relating not only to the overall Ericsson results, but also to his/her own area of responsibility. Performance against the targets is measured and independently audited each year.
Long term incentive
Ericsson does not yet aim for a specific competitive position when
making grants of stock options to executives. It has been our custom, within limits, to follow Swedish practice when deciding on grant sizes and values. These are modest in comparison with international standards. Grants are usually made once per
year and all executives are eligible.
Although there are
established grant guidelines—usually based on the scope and the complexity of work tasks—variation in grant size to an individual can be made for local competitive reasons or for exceptional individual performance.
Most grants are at strike prices well above the current share price.
However, our view is that this is a fair alignment with shareholders and therefore do not seek any repricing for the underwater options. In accordance with current accounting standards, the most recent plan design has not been expensed. Since 1998
we have had a variety of different option designs and some have been expensed and some not.
We do not offer any performance plans or other long term stock price linked award schemes for executives. All employees including executives—except for jurisdictions prohibiting such schemes—were
eligible to participate in the convertible debenture programs offered in 1997 and the employee stock purchase plan of 2002.
During 2002, the President was granted 150,000 employee options. These options had an estimated fair market value at the time of grant of SEK
678,000, calculated according to the Black & Scholes' method. Between 1999 and 2001, a total of 753,924 options have been granted to the President.
During 2002, the members of the Corporate Management were granted a total of 1,030,000 employee options. These options had an estimated fair market
value at the time of grant of SEK 4,655,600, calculated according to the Black & Scholes' method. Between 1999 and 2001, a total of 4,004,304 options were granted to the Corporate Management.
The President and six members of the Corporate Management also
participate in Ericsson's convertible debenture program 1997/2003, with a nominal value of SEK 145,347 each and a conversion rate of SEK 41,70 per share.
Pension
Ericsson's policy regarding pension is to follow the competitive practice in the home country of the executive.
There are different supplementary pension plans for the President and
the Corporate Management, either premium-based or benefit-based plans. For all pension arrangements, the pensionable salary consists of the annual base salary and the target pay out according to the short term incentive plan.
For premium based pensions, the company pays to a capital insurance
company on salary portions in excess of 20 base amounts (one base amount = SEK 37,900) a percentage of the executive's pensionable salary, between 25 and 35 percent per year, depending on the age of the executive. The pension age is 60/62 years
and premiums are paid up to the retirement age. From 65 years, the old age pension includes the ITP plan. For most of our executives in Corporate Management, premium-based pensions are applied.
For benefit-based pensions, the old age pension amounts to 45–70
percent of the executives' pensionable salary, including benefits in the ITP plan or corresponding arrangements. The pension age is 60 years.
The President has the right to retire at the age of 60 years. Between 60 and 65 years, his pension will be 70 percent of his pensionable income, and
from 65 years 50 percent, including the benefits from the so called ITP plan. The President's pensionable salary during 2002 was SEK 10,875,000. In the case his employment with the company is terminated before the age of 60 years, he will be
entitled to the vested rights of his old age pension.
Benefits
As with pensions, Ericsson follows the
competitive practice of the home country of an executive for benefits. While the programs offered—particularly medical—may be similar, plan designs vary widely according to the taxation and legal framework in different countries.
Employee Share Ownership
Employee convertible debentures, options and shares
The below figures in relation to number of options, conversion and
exercise prices have, when appropriate, been subject to recalculation as a result of bonus issue, split and new issue of shares.
If all options outstanding as of December 31, 2002, were exercised, all shares allocated for future matching under the Stock Purchase Plan were
transferred, and shares designated to cover social security costs and payments were disposed of as a result of the exercise and the matching, approximately 55 million B shares would be issued and approximately 142 million B shares, held as treasury
stock, would be transferred. The total, approximately 198 million B shares, corresponds to 1.25 percent of the total number of shares outstanding, 15,820 million.

1999 Option
plan
The 1999 Option Plan is based on 1.8 million
repurchased B shares, including shares designated for covering social security payments. In March of 2000, employee options were granted to approximately 1,800 key employees and senior executives, corresponding to approximately 1.4 million shares.
Of the originally granted employee options, there remained, as of December 31, 2002, options outstanding corresponding to approximately 1 million shares. Each option entitles the holder to purchase one B share at SEK 128. The options expire February
28, 2007, and are subject to vesting requirements, meaning that they are exercisable as follows: 30 percent in 2003, an additional 40 percent in 2004 and the remaining 30 percent in 2005.
Millennium stock option plan
The Millennium Stock Option Plan is based on warrants, i.e. options that entitles the holder to subscribe for
approximately 81.1 million new B shares, including warrants designated for covering social security costs. In order to hedge the social security cost we entered into an arrangement with a bank.
In January 2000, employee options, corresponding to approximately 71.6
million shares, were granted to approximately 8,000 key employees and senior executives. Of the originally granted employee options, there remained, as of December 31, 2002, options outstanding corresponding to approximately 46 million shares. Each
employee option entitles the holder to purchase one B share for SEK 93.80. The employee options expire January 18, 2007 and are subject to vesting requirements, meaning that one third is exercisable after one year, another third after two years and
the last third after three years.
The global stock
incentive program 2001
The Global Stock Incentive
Program 2001 is comprised by two parts, one Stock Option Plan 2001–2002 and one Stock Purchase Plan.
Stock option plan 2001–2002
The Stock Option Plan 2001–2002 is based on 120 million B-shares (issued as C shares, repurchased and converted to B-shares), including shares
designated for covering social security payments. In May and November 2001 (44.9 and 2.6 million options respectively) and in November 2002 (53.9 million options) employee options, corresponding to approximately 101.4 million shares, were granted to
approximately 15,000 key employees. Of the originally issued employee options, there remained, as of December 31, 2002, employee options outstanding corresponding to approximately 91 million shares. Each employee option entitles the holder to
purchase one B-share for SEK 30.50 (the May 2001 grant), SEK 25.70 (the November 2001 grant) and SEK 7.80 (the November 2002 grant), respectively. The options expire May 14, 2008 (the May 2001 grant), November 19, 2008 (the November 2001 grant) and
November 11, 2009 (the November 2002 grant), and are subjects to vesting requirements, meaning that one third is exercisable after one year, another third after two years and the last third after three years from grant.
Stock purchase plan
The Stock Purchase Plan is based on 35 million B shares (issued as C
shares, repurchased and converted to B shares), including shares designated for covering social security payments. During a 24-month period participants are able to save up to 7.5 percent of the gross salary, not exceeding the equivalent of SEK
50,000 per twelve-month period, for purchase of B shares. If the purchased shares are retained by the employee for three years after the investment and employment with the Ericsson Group continues during that time, the employee will be given a
corresponding number of B shares free of consideration, a so called matching.
F-34
Table of Contents
The Stock Purchase Plan
was implemented in 2002 and a majority of the employees were invited to participate. During 2002, approximately 27,000 employees in 71 countries participated in the plan and invested in approximately 29.6 million shares. The initially scheduled
24-month period of employee salary deductions and investments had to be pre-terminated in the autumn of 2002, since all shares included in the plan for future matching and for covering social security payments had been reserved earlier than expected
due to the high participation rate and the low share price. There will be no further employee investments made under the plan. As of December 31, 2002, approximately 2.5 million shares of the total 35 million shares available had been either
transferred to employees, through premature matching as a result of redundancy, or sold on Stockhomsbörsen in order to cover the social security payments incurred by the matching.

29    RECONCILIATION TO ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLES GENERALLY ACCEPTED IN THE US
Since Ericsson shares are also listed in the US on NASDAQ, reconciliation of results to US GAAP is made.
Principal differences between Swedish GAAP and US GAAP
The principal differences between Swedish GAAP and US GAAP that affect
our net income (loss), as well as our stockholders' equity, relate to the treatment of capitalization of development expenses, provisions for restructuring, pension costs, hedge accounting, marketable securities, deferred taxes and goodwill.
New Swedish GAAP recommendations related to development costs and restructuring costs have been implemented. After the Company's adoption of these new recommendations from 2002 no difference exists between Swedish and US GAAP amounts
capitalized by the Company for development costs. The income statement and the balance sheet will differ between Swedish and US GAAP, until amounts capitalized prior to 2002 have been fully amortized. Since 2002 goodwill shall not be amortized under
US GAAP.
New US GAAP standards
In 2002, the following FASB standards were adopted:
•
SFAS141, Business Combinations
•
SFAS142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
•
SFAS144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets
•
SFAS145, Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13 and Technical Corrections were adopted.
With exception for SFAS142 the adoptions did not have a material impact
on income 2002. The effects of the adoption of SFAS142 are presented under H. Amortization of Goodwill and K. Adjustment of Net Income below.
The following FASB standards will be adopted in 2003:
•
SFAS143, Accounting for Obligations Associated with the Retirement of Long-Lived Assets
•
SFAS146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
•
SFAS148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123. The Company continues to apply the intrinsic value
method and presents separately the effects, net of tax effects, as if the fair value method had been applied to all awards
•
EITF00-21, Accounting for Revenue Arrangements with Multiple Deliverables
•
FIN45, Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others
•
FIN46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB51.
The effect of these adoptions in 2003 are not yet evaluated by the Company.
Significant differences between Swedish GAAP and US GAAP
A.    Capitalization of development costs
Prior to 2002, and in accordance with Swedish accounting principles,
software development costs were charged against income when incurred. As described in Accounting Principles, the Company in 2002 adopted RR15, "Intangible assets". Consequently, intangible assets arising from internal development have been
recognized when the intangible asset can be demonstrated to have technical feasibility and future economic benefits.
The Company has adopted US GAAP SFAS86 "Accounting for the Cost of Computer Software to be Sold, Leased or Otherwise Marketed" and
SOP98-1, "Accounting for the costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal use". According to SFAS86, development costs are capitalized after the product involved has reached a certain degree of technological feasibility.
Capitalization ceases and amortization begins when the product is ready for its intended use. The Company has adopted an amortization period for capitalized software of three to five years.
The Company's capitalization of development costs under Swedish and
US GAAP is from 2002 identical, but amortization amounts are different, since restating of prior years, for effects of RR15, is not allowed according to Swedish GAAP.

B.    Capital
discount on convertible debentures
In accordance with
Swedish accounting principles, the 1997/2003 convertible debenture loan and its nominal interest payments are valued at present value, based on market interest rate. The difference from the nominal amount, the capital discount, is credited directly
to equity. (Please refer to Note 17 for details.) In accordance with US GAAP, convertible debenture loans are reported as liabilities at nominal value. When calculating income and equity in accordance with US GAAP, the effects of the capital
discount are reversed.
C.    Restructuring costs
The rules for providing for payroll related expenses
are stricter according to US GAAP. For termination benefits, US GAAP requires for a liability to be recognized that prior to the date of the final financial statements, the arrangements be communicated to employees. There is no such requirement
under Swedish GAAP.
D.    Pensions
The Company participates in several pension plans,
which in principle cover all employees of its Swedish operations as well as certain employees in foreign subsidiaries. The Swedish plans are administered by an institution jointly established for Swedish industry (PRI) in which most companies in
Sweden participate. The level of benefits and actuarial assumptions are established by this institution and, accordingly, the Company may not change these.
Effective 1989, the Company adopted SFAS87, "Employer's Accounting for Pensions", when calculating income according to US GAAP. The
effects for the Company of using this recommendation principally relate to the actuarial assumptions, and that the calculation of the obligation should reflect projected salary of each employee at retirement age. The difference relative to pension
liabilities already booked at the introduction in 1989 is distributed over the estimated remaining service period.
In addition to the Swedish defined benefit plans described in Note 16, the Company have defined benefit plans in several foreign countries, with
major plans in the United States and the United Kingdom.
For more information about pensions, see Note 16.

Table of Contents
E.    Pension
premium refund
In 2000, Alecta (former SPP), a
Swedish insurance company, announced a refund of pension premiums paid, of which a portion was refunded during the year. In accordance with Swedish accounting practice, the total refund was credited to income. In accordance with US GAAP, only the
amount Alecta actually paid is credited to income.
During
2002 the Company has received the remaining part not refunded in 2000 and 2001. In accordance with US GAAP, this amount is credited to income.
F.    Sale-leaseback of property
During 2000 and 2001, the Company sold real and personal property which was leased back to subsidiaries and treated as an operating lease. In
Sweden, the gain on sale of property is credited to income, if the rent to be paid is in par with market price. In accordance with US GAAP, the part of the gain exceeding present value of future lease payments is credited to income when occurred.
The remaining part is distributed during the lease period.
G.    Hedge accounting
The Company adopted SFAS133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", as amended, on January 1, 2001, for calculating income and equity according to US GAAP. SFAS133 requires recognition of all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value.
Under SFAS133 for qualifying derivatives designated as a cash flow hedge the gain or loss is reported in other comprehensive income and affects net income first when the hedged exposure also affects income. The ineffective portion of
the gain or loss affects net income immediately.
According
to Swedish accounting practice, forward currency exchange contracts and options, which are used to hedge firm commitments and budgeted cash flows regarding sales and purchases, are both accounted for as hedges. Consequently, they are valued in a
manner reflecting the accounting for the hedged position and are not valued at market.
Prior to 2001, contracts and options not related to firm commitments were valued at market according to US GAAP. Adoption of SFAS133 resulted in a cumulative after tax increase in net income of SEK 421 million
and a decrease in other comprehensive income of SEK 1,665 million on January 1, 2001.
H.    Amortization of goodwill
Under Swedish GAAP goodwill is amortized over its estimated useful life according to Swedish GAAP. In June 2001, US GAAP was changed due to the adoption SFAS141, "Business combinations" and SFAS142, "Goodwill and Other
Intangible Assets". The adoption of SFAS141 did not have an impact on the results of operations or financial condition of the Company.
According to SFAS142 goodwill is not subject to amortization subsequent to the date of adoption. Goodwill shall be tested for impairment both at
adoption and annually. The Company has performed such tests which did not result in write-downs of goodwill.
The amortization of goodwill made according to Swedish GAAP is reversed under US GAAP.
I.    Deferred Income Taxes
Deferred tax is calculated on all US GAAP adjustments to income, and the US GAAP balance sheet reflects the gross
recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities.
J.    Other
In-process
research and development
Under US GAAP, acquired
technology, including in-process research and development is to be charged to expenses if this technology has not reached technological feasibility and has no alternative use. Under Swedish GAAP, acquired technology is amortized to income over its
expected economic life.
Revaluation of assets
Certain tangible assets have been revalued at amounts in excess of
cost. Under certain conditions, this procedure is allowed in accordance with Swedish accounting practice. Revaluation of assets in the primary financial statements is not permitted under US GAAP. Depreciation charges relating to such items have been
reversed to income.
Capitalization of interest expenses
In accordance with Swedish accounting practice,
the Company has expensed interest costs incurred in connection with the financing of expenditures for construction of tangible assets. Such costs are to be capitalized in accordance with US GAAP, and depreciated as the assets concerned are used.
K.    Adjustment of Net Income
Application of US GAAP as described above would have had the following
effects on consolidated net income. It should be noted that, in arriving at the individual items increasing or decreasing reported net income, consideration has been given to the effect of minority interests.

L.    Unrealized gains and losses on securities available-for-sale
In accordance with Swedish accounting principles investments are valued at lower of cost and market. Under US GAAP,
securities available for sale that have readily determinable fair values shall be measured at fair value in accordance with SFAS115 "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". Unrealized gains and unrealized
temporary losses shall be included in other comprehensive income. Other than temporary unrealized losses shall be charged to income.
M    Trade receivables and customer financing receivables and related borrowings
Under Swedish GAAP, financial assets and liabilities are reported net,
when a legally enforceable right for offset exists and there is an intent to settle on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability at the same time. Under US GAAP, the accounting for the offset of amounts related to these contracts
is not applicable and consequently, for US GAAP purposes, the Company reported additional accounts receivable and customer financing balances, and additional borrowings of SEK 847 million respectively as of December 31, 2002 (SEK 3,781 million as of
December 31, 2001).
Sales criteria for transfers of
accounts receivable differ between Swedish and US GAAP, with certain of the US GAAP criteria such as the legal isolation requirement in SFAS140 being more prescriptive. Under Swedish GAAP, a receivable should be de-recognized when an entity has lost
control of the contractual rights that comprise the receivable. As of December 31, 2002, no such transactions existed. At December 31, 2001, amounts of SEK 4,061 million, were recorded as long-term customer financing and a corresponding amount as a
borrowing for US GAAP purposes, since certain sales customer finance credits under Swedish GAAP did not meet the requirements of US GAAP for sale recognition. No gain or loss was recorded in the Swedish GAAP accounts for these sales.
N.    Comprehensive income and Adjustment of stockholders'
equity
The Company has adopted SFAS130,
"Reporting Comprehensive Income". Comprehensive income includes net income (loss) and other changes in equity, except those resulting from transactions with owners.

O.    Statement of Cash Flows
The Company follows SFAS95 when preparing the Statement of Cash Flows, except that it considers cash, bank and
short-term investments with due dates within 12 months as cash and cash equivalents, rather than within 3 months as required by SFAS95. Applying this definition would mean following adjustments of reported cash, with the offsetting difference
reflected in cash flow from investing activities in the Statement of Cash Flows:

P.    Stock
option plans
The Company, as permitted under SFAS123
"Accounting for Stock Based Compensation", applies Accounting Principles Board Opinion 25 (APB25) and related interpretations in accounting for its stock option plans under US GAAP. No compensation expense has been reflected in the
consolidated income statement as no compensation expense arises when the strike price of the employee's stock options equals the market value of the underlying stock at grant date, as in the case of options granted to the employees.
If the Company had chosen to adopt the optional
recognition provisions of SFAS123 for its stock option plans, net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share in accordance with US GAAP would have been changed to the amounts indicated below:
