Judgment from Administrative Court of Appeal regarding tax dispute

Judgment from Administrative Court of Appeal regarding tax dispute 

In a judgment in 2004, the County Administrative Court in Skåne County
prescribed for Trelleborg AB deductions for a tax loss carryforward of about SEK
600 M that arose in conjunction with the divestment of operations in 1999.
Following an appeal by the Swedish National Tax Board, the Administrative Court
of Appeal in Gothenburg has changed the judgment of the County Administrative
Court, with the effect that no deductions will be permitted for the loss.

The value of the tax loss carryforward, which can be estimated at SEK 168 M, was
not recorded earlier as an asset in the company's accounts. Accordingly, the
Administrative Court of Appeal's judgment will have no impact on the company's
income statement or balance sheet. 

Trelleborg intend to appeal the Administrative Court of Appeal's judgment in the
Swedish Supreme Administrative Court.
