<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 />
