- The concession operator receives revenue for the services provided either directly from the users<br />

or through the concession grantor.<br />

The most significant accounting methods used by the Acciona <strong>Group</strong> in relation to these<br />

concession arrangements are as follows:<br />

- The account receivable is recognised for the present value of the amount receivable from the<br />

grantor.<br />

- Borrowing costs are not capitalised, either during the construction phase or after the concession<br />

has started to operate.<br />

- Even during the construction phase the <strong>Group</strong> recognises interest income earned on the financial<br />

asset, based on its effective interest rate.<br />

- In virtually all of the concessions of the Acciona <strong>Group</strong>, the construction was carried out by<br />

<strong>Group</strong> companies. In this regard, the income and expenses corresponding to infrastructure<br />

construction or upgrade services are recognised at the gross amount thereof (recognition of the<br />

sales and the cost of sales in the consolidated financial statements of the Acciona <strong>Group</strong>),<br />

recognising the construction margin in the consolidated financial statements. If construction were<br />

not carried out by the <strong>Group</strong> itself, this fact would be taken into account for the purpose of<br />

recognising sales and the cost of sales in the consolidated financial statements.<br />

- There is no depreciation or amortisation charge since the arrangements constitute a financial<br />

asset.<br />

- Annual billings are divided into a financial asset component recognised in the balance sheet<br />

(and, therefore, not recognised as sales) and the component relating to services provided, which is<br />

recognised under “Revenue”.<br />

H) Financial instrument disclosures<br />

As a result of the adoption in 2007 of IFRS 7 and of the amendments to IAS 1 and IFRS 7, the<br />

qualitative and quantitative disclosures on financial instruments and risk and capital management<br />

were extended and are detailed in the following notes:<br />

- Financial asset and liability categories, including derivative financial instruments and<br />

accounting policies are detailed in Note 3.2-i.<br />

- Classification of the fair value measurements of financial assets and for derivative financial<br />

instruments consistent with the fair value hierarchy established in IFRS 7, detailed in Note<br />

3.2-i.<br />

- (Qualitative and quantitative) disclosure requirements relating to capital are detailed in Note<br />

16-g.<br />

- Risk accounting and management policies are detailed in Note 19.<br />

- Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting are detailed in Note 20.<br />

- Transfers from equity to profit for the year of settlements of hedging derivative financial<br />

instrument transactions are detailed in Note 29.<br />
