Note 10 New revenue recognition
In Sweden the sale of phones and computers via so called enhanced subscription fees has lately increased more and more. Enhanced fee is an offering for the customer to pay explicitly for the equipment during a period of 12 to 24 months. This change in customer offering has led to a revaluation of how much of the total cash flows that can be allocated to the equipment such as mobile phones etc. In Sweden from January 1, 2010 sales with enhanced subscription fee are regarded as instalment payment and the accounting of the revenue reflects that. Hence both the cost and the revenue from the equipment are accounted for at the time it is supplied to the customer. Before the cost was taken up front and the revenue was recognized when the total services were provided. Previous periods have been recalculated and the effects on the financial statements are presented below.
