Consolidated financial statements at 31 December 2011<br />

<strong>Ferrovial</strong> S.A. and Subsidiaries<br />

Amortisation and depreciation methods:<br />

Toll road concessions:<br />

IFRIC 12 - Intangible asset model<br />

All initial investments relating to the infrastructure that is<br />

subsequently returned to the grantor, including expropriation<br />

costs and borrowing costs capitalised during construction, are<br />

amortised on the basis of the expected pattern of consumption<br />

applicable in each case (e.g., forecast vehicle numbers in the<br />

case of toll roads) over the term of the concession.<br />

The investments contractually agreed on at the start of the<br />

concession on a final and irrevocable basis to be made at a<br />

later date during the term of the concession, and provided they<br />

are not investments made to upgrade infrastructure, are<br />

considered to be initial investments. For investments of this<br />

nature, an asset and an initial provision are recognised for the<br />

present value of the future investment, applying a discount rate<br />

to calculate the present value that is equal to the cost of the<br />

borrowings associated with the project. The asset is amortised<br />

based on the pattern of consumption over the entire term of<br />

the concession and the provision is increased by the related<br />

interest cost during the period until the investment is made.<br />

Where a payment is made to the grantor to obtain the right to<br />

operate the concession, this amount is also amortised based on<br />

the pattern of consumption over the concession term.<br />

A provision is recognised for replacement investments, which<br />

must have been set up in full by the time the investment<br />

becomes operational. The provision is recognised on the basis<br />

of the pattern of consumption over the period in which the<br />

obligation arises, on a time proportion basis.<br />

Infrastructure upgrade investments are those that increase the<br />

infrastructure's capacity to generate revenue or reduce its<br />

costs. In the case of investments that will be recovered over<br />

the concession term, since the upgrade investments increase<br />

the capacity of the infrastructure, they are treated as an<br />

extension of the right granted and, therefore, they are<br />

recognised in the consolidated statement of financial position<br />

when they come into service. They are amortised as from the<br />

date on which they come into service based on the difference<br />

in the pattern of consumption arising from the increase in<br />

capacity. However, if, on the basis of the terms and conditions<br />

of the concession, these investments will not be offset by the<br />

possibility of obtaining increased revenue from the date on<br />

which they are made, a provision will be recognised for the<br />

best estimate of the present value of the cash outflow required<br />

to settle the obligations related to the investment that will not<br />

be offset by the possibility of obtaining increased revenue from<br />

the date on which the investments are made. The balancing<br />

item is a higher acquisition cost of the intangible asset.<br />

In the case of the proportional part of the upgrade or increase<br />

in capacity that is expected to be recovered through the<br />

generation of increased future revenue, the general accounting<br />

treatment used for investments that will be recovered in the<br />

concession term will be applied.<br />

(1) Concession term of 50 years as from completion of the<br />

construction work, estimated at five years.<br />

(2) Concession term of the shorter of 50 years of operation and 52<br />

years as from the contract execution date.<br />

(3) The concession term may be extended by four years if certain<br />

service quality parameters are achieved.<br />

3.3.3 Property, plant and equipment<br />

The assets included in “Plant, Property and Equipment” in the<br />

accompanying consolidated statement of financial position are<br />

carried at acquisition or production cost, less the related<br />

accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment<br />

losses.<br />

In-house work on property, plant and equipment is valued, for<br />

each investment, by adding the direct or indirect costs allocable<br />

to the investment to the cost of the materials used.<br />

Borrowing costs incurred during the construction or production<br />

period, before the assets are ready to come into operation, are<br />

capitalised, whether they derive from borrowings arranged<br />

specifically to acquire the assets or from funds borrowed<br />

generally used to obtain a qualifying asset as defined in IAS 23.<br />

The Group companies calculate the depreciation on property,<br />

plant and equipment using the method that best approximates<br />

the effective technical decline in value and the estimated years<br />

of useful life of each asset. The straight-line method is<br />

generally employed, with the exception of certain Construction<br />

business machinery, which is depreciated using the diminishing<br />

balance method. The useful lives and residual values of these<br />

assets are reviewed annually. The consolidated companies<br />

depreciate their property, plant and equipment basically over<br />

the following years of useful life:<br />
