5.8 Preliminary pro forma financial information<br />
5.8.1 Purpose of the pro forma financial information<br />
The pro forma financial information presented below shows group accounts for Komplett and TCG<br />
as if they had been operating as one unit for the financial year ended 31 December 2006 and the<br />
first half of 2007.<br />
The unaudited pro forma financial income statement is provided for illustrative purposes only to<br />
show the effects of the acquisition described, as if it had been completed on 1 January 2006 with a<br />
balance sheet as if it had been completed 30 June 2007.<br />
The pro forma financial information is based on certain assumptions that not necessarily would<br />
have been applicable if Komplett and TCG were one group in the periods presented in the pro<br />
forma financial information.<br />
5.8.2 Basis for preparation<br />
Because of its nature, the pro forma financial information addresses a hypothetical situation and,<br />
therefore, does not represent the Merged Company’s actual financial position or results. The pro<br />
forma condensed consolidated income statement for 2006 is prepared based on the audited<br />
consolidated income statements for 2006 for Komplett and TCG, respectively, prepared in<br />
accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU. The pro forma<br />
condensed consolidated balance sheet as of 30 June 2007 and the condensed consolidated income<br />
statement for the six months period then ended, have been prepared based on unaudited<br />
condensed consolidated interim financial information for Komplett and TCG, respectively, prepared<br />
in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”. Komplett’s<br />
accounting principles have been applied. Historic financial statements for Komplett and TCG kan be<br />
found in appendix 1 and 5. For separate TCG figures and IFRS adjustments, please see section 7.5.<br />
The pro forma consolidated financial information does not include all of the information required for<br />
financial statements under International Financial Reporting Standards, and should be read in<br />
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Komplett and TCG as of and for the year<br />
ended 31 December 2006 and the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information<br />
for the interim period ended 30 June 2007. On a general basis, it is emphasized that there is a high<br />
uncertainty related to pro forma consolidated financial information. The pro forma consolidated<br />
financial information is not deemed to represent the actual combination of the financial statements<br />
of Komplett and TCG in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, since certain<br />
simplifications and highly uncertain estimates and assumptions have been made as set out in the<br />
subsequent paragraphs.<br />
In addition, the pro forma financial information has been prepared on the following basis:
