Forest valuation is divided into two components • Actual land – IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment

− At acquisition cost (acquired long ago) and road investments

• Growing forest – IAS 41 Biological assets

IAS 41 principals • Calculation based on existing harvesting plans, growth

assessments and technology

• No global warming effects included

• Environmental restrictions taken into account

• Latest forest survey conducted in 2012-2013

• New assessment approximately every 8 years

• WACC 5.25%

• Price and cost based on 5 year averages
