Diluted earnings per share<br />

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding to assume<br />

conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. The Group has only share options outstanding, which can be categorized<br />

as dilutive potential ordinary shares. For the share options, a calculation is made to determine the number of shares that<br />

could have been acquired at fair value based on the monetary value of the subscription rights attached to outstanding share<br />

options. The number of shares calculated as above is compared with the number of shares that would have been issued<br />

assuming the exercise of the share options.<br />

Total trade receivables (net) 1,185,459 1,108,443<br />

There is no concentration of credit risk with regard to trade receivables as the Group has a large number of customers that<br />

are dispersed internationally.<br />

The creation and usage of provisions for impaired trade receivables have been included in other operating expenses in the<br />

income statement.<br />

The following summarizes the movement in the provision for impairment of trade receivables:<br />

Changes in provision for doubtful accounts (762) 12,416<br />

Balance on 31 December 28,196 36,616<br />

As of 31 December <strong>2006</strong>, management decided, based on analyses of historical trends, the Group’s experience and market<br />

observations to adjust the estimates for allowance of trade receivables not individually impaired. The effect of this change in<br />

accounting estimate has resulted in approximately CHF 11 million for the year under review.
