The accounting principles applied conform with the Swedish Annual Reports Act and recommendations and statements from the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Board and the Swedish Institute of Authorised Public Accountants (FAR SRS). The following valuation and conversion principles have been applied in the annual report:
Co-owners
Malmö Hamn AB and Udviklingsselskabet By & Havn I/S are designated the co-owners in the annual report.
Fixed assets
Fixed assets are accounted at acquisition cost with deductions for planned depreciation based on an assessment of the economic life of the assets.
Depreciation according to plan has taken place as follows:
| Buildnings |
20-50 years |
| Cranes |
25 years |
| Permanent building equipment and installations |
10-20 years |
| Working machines |
7-10 years |
| Vehicles and other equipment |
5 years |
| Computers |
3-5 years |
Tax depreciation over and above depreciation according to plan is regarded as additional depreciation, which constitutes an untaxed reserve.
The buildings have no assessment value.
Receivables and liabilities
Receivables have been reported at the amounts they are expected to accrue.
Receivables and liabilities in foreign currency have been converted to Swedish krona at the closing day rate.
Any difference between acquisition value and closing day value has been taken up as income.
Liquid assets
Liquid funds consist of cash and bank balances and short-term investments.
Foreign subsidary
The subsidary's income statement and balance sheet have been recalculated in accordance with the current method, whereby the translation difference has been reported against equity.
