1 Consolidated accounting principles
The CAA financial statements for 2005 have been prepared in accordance with the account principles for state enterprises and groups as laid down in the decision of the Government dated December 17th, 1998 (1023/98).
All Group companies have been included in the consolidated financial statements. The associated company Helsinki-Vantaan Lentoaseman Taksipalvelut has been omitted due to its non-relevant influence on the Group’s equity. More detailed information on the companies that belong to the Group is given in section 8, “CAA Group Companies”.
Internal transactions within the Group, including internal receivables and liabilities, have been eliminated. Cross-ownership of shares has been eliminated using the acquisition cost method. Minority interests have been removed from the Group’s own equity capital and earnings are shown as a separate item on the balance sheet. The deferred tax liability on balance sheet transfers has been shown as a separate item.
Valuation principles used in the financial statements
Capital assets are capitalised at direct acquisition cost. Planned depreciation items are calculated within the Group according to a uniform principle governing the economic life of each asset. Non-current investment assets and financial instruments held as liquid assets are valued according to their purchase price or at market price, whichever is lower.
The value of the stocks and inventories has been calculated according to market averages.
The financial statements concerning the electric power grid and the sale of electricity appear separately in the notes to the financial statements, as required by the Electricity Market Act.
