Report of Independent Auditors
The Board of Directors and Shareholders of Autoliv, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Autoliv, Inc.,
and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the related consolidated
statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 2003. These financial statements are
the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Autoliv, Inc.,
and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2003 and 2002, and the consolidated
results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2003, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.
As discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, in 2002 the
Company changed its method of accounting for goodwill. In addition, the 2002
and 2001 financial statements have been restated as more fully described in
Note 20.
