Various MTG companies are involved in disputes with collecting societies over payment of royalties for the past use of copyrights and similar rights. Further, MTG companies are parties to non-material litigation. The Company does not believe that liabilities related to these matters are likely to have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group. These litigations are therefore not included in the contingency liabilities. There are no pledged assets in 2009 and 2008.
