The other changes in the previous year are largely attributable to the initial consolidation of Scania. In fiscal year 2009, they relate mainly to changes in the consolidated Group. The reclassifications relating to capital transactions involving a change in the ownership interest, which are also presented for the previous year, are reported separately as of 2009. The prior-year figures were adjusted accordingly.

Explanatory notes on equity are presented in note 24.
