Notes to the Financial Statement

20. CAA electric power grid operations
Itemised statement for the electric power grid operations and sales revenues as required by the Electricity Marketing Act (386/95).

Principles for categorising the joint costs and balance sheet items

Profit and loss account
Planned depreciations
Planned depreciations are calculated according to the common depreciation principles of the CAA Group. From 1 JAN 2003, the Group also adopted straight-line depreciations for the Machinery and equipment - the reducing balance method was used for the depreciations in 2002. This change means that the depreciations for that category have decreased substantially in 2003.

Other operating costs
A share of the general running costs of the Helsinki-Vantaa Airport has been assigned to the electric power grid operations of the airport power plant in proportion to the number of staff. In addition, a proportion of the expenses incurred by the CAA Group/Headquarters has been assigned in proportion to the number of people.

Balance sheet
When electric power grid operations began in 1996, the opening balance sheet consisted of fixed assets for carrying out such operations (machinery and equipment). Assets under balance sheet liabilities were divided into basic equity capital and other start-up capital.

Personnel
The average number of staff employed for grid operations during the fiscal period was 8 (9).
