Revaluation of property, plant and equipment
Starting in 2007, the Group changed its accounting policy for property, plant and equipment (except for construction in progress, office buildings and land), which are stated at the revalued cost. An independent appraiser was hired to perform revaluation.
To reflect changed external conditions the Company’s Management carried out cash flow testing to calculate the fair value of property, plant and the equipment as of December 31st, 2008.
Key assumptions used in the test were: the weighted average cost of capital was 13.80%, expected achievable sales prices and volumes in conditions of financial and economic crisis, forecasting period was 12 years.
The performed test indicated that for a number of Hydroelectric Power Plants, fair value of property, plant and equipment was lower than their net book value. Consequently, the Group recognised impairment loss to the value of property, plant and equipment in the amount of RUR 32,553 million for the reporting period.
