These writedowns are largely based on the fact that the ”value in use”of the respective units was below the reported value of these units.The large writedowns in acquisition goodwill in 2002 were based on the fact thatthe value in use of the <strong>Skanska</strong> Poland and Selmer <strong>Skanska</strong> (now <strong>Skanska</strong> Norway)units was below the book value of these units.Other intangibleGoodwill fixed assetsGroup <strong>2003</strong> 2002 <strong>2003</strong> 2002Writedowns by income statement item and asset classConstruction, manufacturing andproperty management expenses –9 –1 –64Selling and administrative expenses –179 –1,330 –2of which, writedowns in Selmer <strong>Skanska</strong>and <strong>Skanska</strong> Poland 0 –1,131–179 –1,339 –3 –64Of which, goodwill writedowns in Norway and Polandincluded under selling and administrative expenses<strong>Skanska</strong> Poland 0 –521Selmer <strong>Skanska</strong> 0 –6100 –1,131Writedown by asset class, by business streamConstruction and Services –179 –1,244 –1 –64Other operations –95 –2 0–179 –1,339 –3 –64Other intangibleGoodwill fixed assetsGroup <strong>2003</strong> 2002 <strong>2003</strong> 2002Writedown amounts based onNet divestment value –89 –11Value in use –90 –1,328 –3 –64–179 –1,339 –3 –64Parent CompanyIn the Parent Company, writedowns of intangible assets totaled SEK –1 M (0).Tangible fixed assetsIn <strong>2003</strong>, writedowns of tangible assets come mostly from Swedish constructionoperations, where closures of construction/manufacturing facilities led to certainwritedowns. In 2002, the corresponding amount for writedowns was largelyaccounted for by a lump-sum writedown of acquired surplus value in fixed assets inPoland. The utilization value of these fixed assets was below their book value, and awritedown was thus carried out.Buildingsand landGroup <strong>2003</strong> 2002Writedowns/reversals of writedowns byincome statement item and asset classConstruction, manufacturing and propertymanagement expensesWritedowns –70 –158of which, lump-sum writedowns –150Reversals of writedowns 14–56 –158Writedowns/reverals of writedowns by business streamConstruction and Services –50 –158Commercial Project Development –6 0–56 –158Amounts of writedowns/reversals of writedowns were based onNet divestment value –38 –8Value in use –18 –150–56 –158<strong>Skanska</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong> <strong>2003</strong> – Notes, including accounting and valuation principles 61
