Exhibit 15.2

Report of Independent Auditors

To the Shareholders of Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006
and the related consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2007. 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 of America. 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 evaluation the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications AB and its subsidiaries at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in
the period ended December 31, 2007 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in Sweden.

Accounting principles generally accepted in
Sweden vary in certain significant respects from accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Information relating to the nature and effect of such differences is presented in Note C29 to the consolidated financial
statements.

Principle of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Parent Company and all subsidiaries in which the company has a voting majority. The intercompany
transactions and internal profit have been eliminated. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the purchase method, whereby consolidated stockholders equity includes equity earned only after acquisition.
Minority interest in net earnings is reported in the consolidated income statement. Minority interest in the equity of subsidiaries is reported as a separate item in the consolidated balance sheet.

Translation of financial statements in foreign currency

Sony
Ericssons results are presented in EUR which is the reporting currency and the functional currency of the parent company. The group has sales and cost of sales in a large number of currencies. For all companies, including subsidiary companies,
the functional (business) currency is the currency in which the companies primarily generate and expend cash. Their financial statements plus goodwill related to such companies are translated to EUR by translating assets and liabilities at the
closing rate on the balance sheet day and income statement items at average exchange rates, during the year, with translation adjustments reported directly in consolidated equity.

Revenue recognition

Sales revenue is recorded upon the delivery of products according to contractual terms and
represents amounts realized, excluding value-added tax, and is net of goods returned, trade discounts and allowances. Sales revenue is recognized with reference to all significant contractual terms when the product has been delivered, when the
revenue amount is fixed or determinable and when collection is reasonably assured.

Accruals for sales bonuses and similar items such as quarterly and
yearly bonuses, quality bonus, co-op advertising and stock protection are shown as deductions from gross sales to arrive at net sales.

For product and
equipment sales, delivery generally does not occur until the products or equipment have been shipped, risk of loss has transferred to the customer, and objective evidence exists that customer acceptance provisions, if any, have been met. The Company
records revenue when allowances for discounts, price protection, returns and customer incentives can be reliably estimated. Recorded revenues are reduced by these allowances. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience taking into
consideration the type of products sold, the type of customer, and the type of transaction specific in each arrangement.

Costs related to shipping and
handlings are included in cost of sales in the Consolidated Income Statement.

Research and development costs

Research and development costs are charged to expenses as incurred. Expenses related to the third party (including joint venture) development of new platforms for mobile
phones are capitalized as other non-current asset and are amortized when the platforms are put into commercial use. Such costs are capitalized as intangible assets when technological feasibility has been established and when future economic benefits
can be demonstrated.

Hedge accounting

The Group
applies hedge accounting for financial instruments intended to hedge foreign currency exposures having a future impact on results.

At the point in time at
which the contract is established, the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item is documented, as well as the purpose of this risk management and the strategy for taking various hedging measures. The company also documents its
assessment, both when the contract is entered into and on an ongoing basis, as to whether the derivative used in the hedging transaction is effective in counteracting changes in fair value or income statement effects, in terms of the hedged items in
question.

The hedging is designed in such a manner as to
ensure, to the greatest degree possible, its effectiveness. The changes in fair value for those derivative instruments which do not meet the conditions for hedge accounting are reported directly in the income statement.

Future foreign currency exposures are hedged primarily by forward cover agreements but also via currency options. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of
hedging instruments is recognized in equity. Any gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized in the income statement. Amounts accumulated in equity are recycled in the income statement in the periods in which the hedged item
affects profit or loss, for example, when the forecasted sale which is hedged takes place.

Intangible and tangible fixed assets

Intangible and tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses as well as write-ups. Annual depreciation is reported as plan
depreciation, generally using the straight line method with estimated useful lives ranging from 3 years up to 10 years for machineries and equipments. Intangible assets are amortized over a period ranging from 3 years up to 5 years or based on the
contracts economic reality. Land improvements are amortized in 20 years. The costs of computer software developed or obtained for internal use are capitalized as intangible assets when technological feasibility has been established and when
future economic benefits can be demonstrated.

Tooling

Tooling owned by Sony Ericsson but used in its manufacturing partners operations is capitalized and amortized over useful life.

Financial
assets

Financial assets that are intended for long-term holding are accounted at acquisition value and impairment is made if a permanent decrease in
the value can be stated. These assets include strategic long-term investments in private companies over which Sony Ericsson does not have the ability to exercise significant influence.

Joint venture

Investments in joint ventures, where Sony Ericsson has significant influence, are recognized in the
consolidated financial statements in accordance with the equity method. Sony Ericssons share of income before taxes is reported in item Share in earnings of joint venture included in Operating income. Taxes are included in item
Income taxes for the year.

Impairment test of assets

Impairment tests are performed on a regular basis whenever there is an indication of possible impairment. An impairment loss is determined based on the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of
those assets.

Leases

Leases on terms in which Sony
Ericsson assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases, i.e. the leased object is recognized as a non-current asset and the future obligations for lease payments are recognized as current and
non-current liabilities in the Balance Sheet. Upon initial recognition, the leased asset is measured at an amount equal to the lower of its fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequent to initial recognition, the asset
is accounted for in accordance with the accounting policy applicable to that asset, although the depreciation period would not exceed the lease term.

Other leases are operating leases, and the leased assets under such contracts are not recognized in the balance sheet. Costs under operating leases are recognized in the Income Statement on a straight-line base over the term of the lease.
Lease incentives received are recognized as an integral part of the total lease expense, over the term of the lease. Sony Ericsson has not identified any financial leases for the reported periods.

Income tax

Reported income tax includes tax, which is to be paid or
received, regarding the current year, adjustments concerning the previous years current taxes and changes in deferred taxes.

All income tax
liabilities and receivables are valued at their nominal amount according to the tax regulations and are measured at the tax rate that is expected to be applied to the temporary differences when they reverse, based on the tax laws that have been
enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. An adjustment of

LOGO



deferred tax asset/liability balances due to a
change in the tax rate is recognized in the income statement unless it relates to a temporary difference earlier recognized directly in equity, in which case the adjustment is also recognized in equity.

In the case of items reported in the income statement, the related tax effects are also reported in the income statement. The tax effects of items that are accounted for
directly against equity are also reported directly against equity.

Deferred tax is calculated according to the balance sheet method on all temporary
differences arising between the reported value and the tax value of the assets and liabilities.

Receivables

Receivables with maturities greater than 12 months after balance sheet date are reported as fixed assets, and other receivables as current assets. Receivables are
reported in the amounts at which they are expected to be received, on the basis of individual assessment.

Accounts Receivables

Accounts receivables are reported as current assets in the amounts at which they are expected to be received net of individual bad debt assessment.

Inventories

Inventories, which include the cost of materials, labor
and overhead, are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis. Risk of obsolescence has been measured by estimating market value based on future customer demand and customer acceptance of new products.

Borrowings

Borrowings are reported initially at fair
value, net of transaction costs incurred. If the reported amount differs from the amount to be repaid at maturity date, then the difference is allocated as interest expense or interest income over the tenure of the loan. In this manner, the initial
amount reported agrees, at maturity date, with the amount to be repaid.

Financial liabilities first cease to be reported when they have been settled on
the basis of repayment or when repayment has been waived.

All transactions are reported on settlement date.

Provisions

Provisions are made when there are legal or constructive
obligations as a result of past events and when it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligations and the amounts can be reliably estimated. However, the actual outflow as a result of the obligation may differ
from such estimate.

Warranty provisions include provisions for faulty products based on estimated return rates and costs. The best estimate is based on
sales, contractual warranty periods and historical failure data of products sold.

Post-employment benefits

The Group has both defined benefit and defined contribution plans.

A
defined contribution plan is a pension plan under which the Group pays fixed contributions into a separate entity. The Group has no legal or constructive obligations to pay further contributions. The contributions are recognized as employee benefit
expenses when they are due.

A defined benefit plan is a pension plan that defines an amount of pension benefit that an employee or former employee will
receive on retirement, usually dependent on one or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation. The Group is responsible for the fulfillment of the pension obligation.

The schemes are both funded and unfunded.

The liability or receivable recognized in the balance sheet in respect of
defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets, unrecognized actuarial gains and losses and unrecognized past service cost.

Independent actuaries using the Projected Unit Credit Method calculate the defined benefit obligations and expenses annually. This method indicates that past-service
costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The present value of the defined benefit obligation is determined by discontinuing the estimated future cash outflows using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are
denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability.

Actuarial gains and losses, arising from experience
adjustments and changes in actuarial assumptions, to the extent theses exceed 10% of the pension obligations present value or the fair value of plan assets are charged or credited to income over the employees expected average remaining
working lives.

The used principle for defined benefit plans is only effective in the consolidated financial statements.

Part of the pension plans in Sweden is secured through an insurance solution with the insurance company Alecta. According to a statement issued by the Swedish Financial
Reporting Board (UFR 3), this constitutes a multi-employer plan. It has not been possible, however, for Sony Ericsson to get sufficient information to account for the plan as a defined benefit plan. The plan has therefore been accounted for as a
defined contribution plan.

Contingent liabilities

The
Group records a Contingent liability when there is a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within the control
of the entity. Contingent liabilities are also reported when there is a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognized, because it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to
settle the obligation, or the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.

Statement of Cash Flow

Foreign subsidiaries transactions are translated at the average exchange rate during the period. Subsidiaries purchased and/or sold, net of cash acquired/sold, are
reported as cash flow from investment activities and do not affect reported cash flow from operations. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank and short term cash investments. The statement of Cash Flow for 2006, 2007 and 2008 complies
with International Accounting Standards (IAS) No. 7.

Related party transactions

Transactions and balances related to Sony and Ericsson are classified as external items.

Dividend

Each year the Board of Directors assesses the companys and the groups results and financial position in order to determine the appropriate disposition of
earnings. This disposition, including any payment of dividends, is based on a number of factors including: the latest profit and loss account, the companys equity, the companys and the groups cash flows, the equity ratio and
liquidity of the company and the group after the proposed dividend in relation to the industry standards in which the company and the group conducts its business, and both the companys and the groups ability to fulfill both their short
and long-term obligations. As a result of this assessment a dividend of Euro 770 million was paid in 2008.

Balance sheet

Tax
effect of temporary differences has resulted in deferred tax assets and liabilities as follows:



|                    |  |         |  |

|Deferred tax assets |  | 298,101 |  | 167,186

The Swedish tax rate has been changed from 28% to 26.3% from January 2009.

Deferred tax assets relate to temporary differences due to certain provisions such as warranty and scrap liabilities and tax losses carryforwards. Deferred tax assets
are amounts recognized in countries where we expect to be able to generate corresponding taxable income in the future to benefit from tax reductions.

C17. Post-employment benefits

Sony Ericsson participates in local pension plans in countries in which we operate. There are principally two types of pension plans:



| |  | Defined contribution plans, where the Companys only obligation is to pay fixed pension premiums into a separate entity (a fund or insurance company) on behalf
of the employee. No provision for pensions is recognized in the balance sheet other than accruals for premium pensions earned, but not yet paid.
|- |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  | Defined benefit plans, where the Companys undertaking is to provide pension benefits that the employees will receive on retirement, usually dependent on one
or more factors such as age, years of service and compensation.
|- |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Sony Ericsson most of the companies have defined contribution plans
and therefore no pension provisions on the balance sheet. The subsidiaries in Japan, Netherlands, Germany, Greece and Mexico have defined benefit plans. In Sweden, the total pension benefits are accounted as defined contribution plans, even though
the Financial Accounting Standards Councils interpretations committee defined the ITP pension plan, financed through insurance with Alecta as a defined benefit plan. Sony Ericsson did not have access to information from Alecta that would have
made it possible for this plan to be reported as a benefit plan.

Severance pay

For the President and the Corporate Management the following applies:

Severance payments are not payable if an employee resigns voluntarily, or if the employment is terminated as a result of flagrant disregard of responsibilities. An exception to this is if the notice of termination
given by the employee is due directly to significant structural changes or other events that affect the content of work or the condition of the position. In such an instance, the notice is treated as if it were given by the Company and severance
payments are made to the individual. Upon termination of employment, severance pay amounting to one years salary is normally paid. The severance payments will be paid out during agreed severance period.

Pension

Sony Ericssons policy
regarding pension is to follow the competitive practice in the home country of the executive. There are different supplementary pension plans for the President and the Corporate Management. As major pension arrangements, the total pension base
salary consists of the annual base salary and the target pay out according to the short term incentive plan. The company pays to the capital insurance company on salary portions in excess of 20 base amounts (one base amount = SEK 41,000) a
percentage of the executives total pension based salary, between 25 and 35 percent per year, depending on the age of the executive.

Long term incentive

Sony Ericsson has a long term incentive program for certain employees. The calculation of the bonuses
is based on the performance of the Group and payments for the units allocated are vested in three years. The size of the units is approved by the Remuneration Committee of the Board.

C27. Financial risks

Foreign
exchange risk - Transaction exposure

Sony Ericssons results are presented in EUR; the companys hedging is based on EUR being the risk free
currency. The group has sales and cost of sales in a large number of currencies. The main part of the net exposure is concentrated to the parent company. The groups currency exposures are hedged up to 6 months. The groups net exposure is
to 80% USD, JPY, GBP and RUB. The currency exposures are primarily hedged with forward contracts. The market value of derivatives not being used to revalue balance sheet items by December 31, 2008 was Euro 2.8 million, all of these
derivatives were forward contracts.

Foreign exchange
risk - Translation exposure

All equity in the groups companies is translated in accordance with the current method hence the translation
exposure is taken directly in to equity in the balance sheet. This type of currency exposure is not hedged.

Interest rate
risk

Sony Ericssons interest rate risk is primarily derived from cash and short term deposits, other balance sheet items are to a very small extent
affected by shifts in the interest rate. Cash and short-term deposits amount to Euro 1,125 million at year end 2008, with an investment horizon shorter than twelve months.

Credit Risk

Credit risk is divided into
two categories; credit risk in trade receivables and financial credit risk.

Credit risk in Trade receivables

The value of outstanding trade receivables were at year end Euro 1,647 million. Provisions for expected losses at year end were Euro 18 million. 50% of the trade
receivables are towards countries with a country risk in the interval negligible to moderate. Approximately 70% of Sony Ericssons outstanding AR is insured against non-payment by the customer.

Financial credit risk

Financial
instruments carry an element of risk in that counterparts may be unable to fulfill their payment obligations. These exposures arise in the investments of cash and cash equivalents and from derivative positions with positive unrealized result against
banks and other counterparties. Sony Ericsson mitigates these risks by investing cash in governmental risk, both fund and discretionary trustee are applied. Part of the liquidity is also deposited with a few chosen banks with the highest possible
short-term rating. How much to be invested with each fund and bank is regulated in the policy.

Liquidity risk

The liquidity risk is that Sony Ericsson is unable to meet its short term payment obligations due to insufficient or illiquid cash reserves. At year end Sony Ericsson
had a very large net cash position invested in liquid funds and very short deposits with banks. Sony Ericsson is aiming to maintain a cash level of 10% of annual turnover. The companys net cash exceeds this requirement at year end.

C28. Transactions with joint venture

Royalty - Sony
Ericsson has paid a royalty to UIQ Technology AB for the right to use the UIQ Technology AB software in the mobile phones.

Purchases - Sony Ericsson has bought Support & Maintenance and Professional Service Work from UIQ Technology AB.

C30. Reconciliation to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Sweden for unlisted companies, applying the
Swedish Annual Accounts Act (ÅRL), the Swedish Accounting Standards Boards (Bokföringsnämnden, BFN) recommendations and the Recommendation of the Swedish Financial Accounting Standards Council, (RR29), Remunerations to
employees, which differs in certain significant respects from the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (US GAAP). Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications has reconciled its net income / loss and equity under Swedish
GAAP to the accounting principles according to generally accepted principles in the United States.

The principle differences between Swedish GAAP and
US GAAP that affect our net income, as well as our stockholders equity relate to the treatment of business combinations (negative goodwill), synthetic option plan and restructuring costs.

Business combinations - Negative Goodwill

Under both Swedish GAAP
and US GAAP, when the fair value of net assets acquired exceeds total purchase price, the Company first assess whether all acquired assets and assumed liabilities have been properly identified and valued. Under Swedish GAAP, negative goodwill
is not subject to amortization and any excess remaining after reassessment is recognized in income statement immediately. During 2004, a negative goodwill amounted to TEUR 3,717 was identified by the Company in connection with the acquisition of
Beijing SE Putian Mobile Communications Co. Ltd (BMC), and it was recognized in income statement by the end of 2004.

Under US GAAP, the Company must
first reassess whether all acquired assets and assumed liabilities have been identified and properly valued. If an amount of negative goodwill still results after this reassessment, all acquired assets (including research and development assets) are
then subject to pro rata reduction, except for (1) financial assets other than investments accounted for by the equity method, (2) assets to be disposed of by sale, (3) deferred taxes, (4) prepaid assets relating to pension and
other postretirement benefit plans, and (5) any other current assets. If all eligible assets are reduced to zero and an amount of negative goodwill still remains, the remaining unallocated negative goodwill must be recognized immediately as an
extraordinary gain. A negative goodwill was identified by the Company amounted to TEUR 3,717, and it was recognized in income statement by the end of 2004. All adjustments according to US GAAP are specified in this report (see separate
information for adjustments).

Provision for social security cost on synthetic
option plan

Under Swedish GAAP, the Company accrues social security costs for the synthetic option plan during the vesting period. Under US GAAP,
no social security cost is recorded until the options are exercised or matching of the options takes place, which decreases net income by TEUR -162 (TEUR -3,623 in 2007).

Restructuring costs

Under Swedish GAAP a provision for severance pay is recognized when a constructive obligation to
restructure arises which requires that a detailed formal plan has been communicated to those affected by it. The implementation needs to be planned to begin as soon as possible and to be completed in a timeframe that makes significant changes to the
plan unlikely. Under US GAAP provisions for severance pay is recognized on the remaining service period when a company has a detailed formal plan which has been communicated to those affected. If an entity under Swedish GAAP has a contract that
is onerous, the present obligation under the contract shall be recognized and measured as a provision. Under US GAAP, costs to terminate a contract before the end of its term should be recognized as a liability and measured at fair value when
the entity terminates the contract in accordance with the contract terms or when the premises have been vacated. A liability for costs that will continue to be incurred under a contract for its remaining term without economic benefit to the entity
should be recognized and measured at its fair value when the entity ceases to use the right conveyed by the contract. Sony Ericsson has identified a difference between US GAAP and Swedish GAAP of TEUR 15,498 related to leasehold property
that has not yet been terminated or vacated and thus not qualified as provisions in accordance with US GAAP.

Post-employment benefits

To calculate the annual expenses for the defined benefit plans, Sony Ericsson uses the corridor method. The amount recognized in the income statement which is the
difference to US GAAP is not material.

Deferred Income Taxes

Deferred tax is calculated on US GAAP adjustments and the US GAAP balance sheet reflects the gross recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Non-current and current assets

Swedish GAAP requires deferred tax
assets to be classified as non-current assets on the balance sheet. Under US GAAP, deferred tax liabilities and assets are classified as current or non-current based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial
reporting. A deferred tax liability or asset that is not related to an asset or liability for financial reporting, including deferred tax assets related to carryforwards, shall be classified according to the expected reversal date of the temporary
difference. The balance sheet shows a difference in non-current and current assets between Swedish GAAP and US GAAP which relates to the classification of deferred tax assets.

Adjustment of net income, comprehensive income, equity and balance sheet items

Application of US GAAP as
described above would have had the following effects on consolidated net income.
