<strong>2011</strong><br />
In <strong>2011</strong>, a goodwill impairment of DKK 277 million was recognised<br />
in respect of <strong>DONG</strong> <strong>Energy</strong> Sales B.V. due to changed<br />
pricing in the Dutch market.<br />
The result of the year’s other impairment tests was that the<br />
recoverable amount exceeded the carrying amount of goodwill.<br />
It was consequently not deemed necessary to write down<br />
goodwill further in <strong>2011</strong>.<br />
Central power stations<br />
The main criteria used for determining the recoverable amount<br />
are the green dark spread and the discount rate. The calculation<br />
of expected net cash fl ows is based on the Group’s own<br />
forecasting model, which forecasts net cash fl ows for the<br />
period 2012-2030. The model is designed so as to take into<br />
account the history of each power station and the Group’s<br />
experience in power station operation, including useful lives,<br />
maintenance, etc.<br />

the discount rate. The assumptions on which budgeted utilisation<br />
rates are based include the existence of contracts for part<br />
of revenue and the setting-up of projects in the immediate<br />
future. Budgeted daily rates are based on evaluation of the<br />
current level of daily rates and the prices of vessel newbuilds.<br />
The determination of net cash fl ows is based on the company’s<br />
business plan and expected net cash fl ows for the period<br />
2012-2032.<br />
