Assets Appraisal Report
The income approach refers to such an assets appraisal approach that the value of the appraised assets is decided by means of estimating the expected return of the appraised assets and converting them into present value. Preconditions for application of the income approach as follows: | ||
(1) The clear property right of the enterprise assets appraised; | ||
(2) The future income of enterprises able to be monetarily quantified; | ||
(3) The future operating risk of the enterprise able to be monetarily quantified. |
2. | Profit Forecast Basis |
(1) | The basis of this appraisal is established on the precondition of the normal operation of the enterprise and all earnings are from the normal operation of the enterprise, taking no account of accidental factors and non-comparable factors. | |
(2) | The profit forecast takes the actual stock assets of the enterprise and has taken the influence on the normal earnings of the enterprise from the reasonable improvement of stock assets and the additional investment into consideration. | |
(3) | The profit forecast is established on the findings of audit from Wuliting Hydropower Development Company, in accordance with the profit forecast submitted by the enterprise and according to relevant information collection from inquiry carried out by appraisers. It has necessarily analyzed, estimated and confirmed the reasonableness of the profit forecast by the enterprise and some adjustments have been made. | |
(4) | The trial running operation materials and the preliminary design report provided by Wuliting Hydropower Development Company; | |
(5) | The unification of accounting process adopted. |
3. | Appraisal Model of the Income Approach |
The discounted cash flow model adopts entity cash flow. Its computing formula is:
The basic format of entity cash flow model is:
Entity value= entity cash flow t/(1+ weighted average cost of
capital)t
Shareholders equity value—entity value= liability value
Liability value = payable liability cash flow/(1+equal risk liability cost)t

Qingtian Wuliting Hydropower Development Co., Ltd. Share Transfer Project
Assets Appraisal Report
The entity cash flow = after-tax profit before interest+ depreciation and
amortization-operation capital increment- capital expenditure
4. | Establishment of the Forecast Period |
So as to be able to reflect cash flow of the power station operation in a long time, we confirmed
the predicted period is five years (including the fourth-quarter of the year 2007). It is from the
year 2007 (the first year) to the year 2015.
5. | Establishment of Benefit Period |
The operation period of the Wuliting Hydropower Development Company is twenty years as stated in
the company regulations, counting from the issuance of the operation license. The operation period
stated in the business license of the enterprise as a legal person is from Dec. 21, 2001 to Dec.
21, 2021. On the base of the economic development prospect of generating power by water conservancy
and supposing the enterprise to be operate continually, the appraisal benefit period is permanent,
namely from Sep. 30, 2007 to the permanency.
6. | Establishment of the Discounting Rate |
According to the principle of unifying the earning capacity and the discounting rate, the earning
capacity is entity cash flow, so the discounting rate” r” will choose the weighted average cost of
capital (WACC), i.e., the return on investment capital, also called investment capital cost, a
comprehensive return rate decided by the structure and return rate of the shareholders’ equity
capitals and interest-payment debenture capitals.
The computing formula is:
WACC = Ke*We+Kd*(1-T)*Wd
Ke: Shareholders’ equity capital cost;
Kd: debenture capital cost;
We: the ratio of shareholders’ equity capital in the capital structure;
Wd: the ratio of debenture capital in the capital structure;
T: valid income tax rate of the company;
Ke: Shareholders’ equity capital cost;
Kd: debenture capital cost;
We: the ratio of shareholders’ equity capital in the capital structure;
Wd: the ratio of debenture capital in the capital structure;
T: valid income tax rate of the company;

(1) | Definition of Ke |
According to the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) and on this base, considering the individual
risk earning of Wuliting Hydropower Development Company, the computing formula is:
Ke= Rf+β×Rpm+A
Rf: risk-free return rate;
RPm: market risk premium;
A: individual risk adjustment.
• | Risk-free Return Rate Rf |
The annual interest of the registered national debt (seven-year term) face value in 2007 (the
fourteenth term) is 3.9% and if converted into the compound interest, the interest is 3.51%, so
the risk-free return rate is 3.51%.
• | Enterprise risk coefficient β |
It is confirmed according to inquiry the enterprise analogous Xx Xxxx A shares stock listed
company Beta value, the specific confirmation process as follows:
Firstly, on the base of Beta without the finance lever from the listed companies of the same
kind, the average Beta without the finance lever can be worked out. According to the
interest-bearing debt status as well as the future financing plan of the enterprise, the Beta of
the enterprise can be worked out.
Through calculation, the Beta without finance level in the listed companies of the same kind is
0.2939.
According to the operation capacity, financing capacity and the future capital structure of the
enterprise, the debt/equity ratio (D/E) from October 2007 to 2015 can be determined. Through the
formula βL=(1+(1-T)×D/E)×βU, we can work out the Beta coefficient of the enterprise, see the
following table.

• | Market Risk Premium Rpm |
Domestic securities market is an emerging but bundle one. On one hand, the domestic market has a
relatively shorter history data and in the first several years of its establishment, the
speculation atmosphere was pregnant, so the market fluctuation is large; on the other hand,
presently, the control over the exchange flow under the capital account is strict, plus the
particularity of the stock equity separation, so the stock equity risk premium deduced directly
from the history data has a low reliability, while in the mature market, owing the long history
data, the overall stock equity risk premium on the market could be got from analyzing the
history data, so the risk premium of international emerging markets commonly could be decided by
the risk premium of the mature market. In this appraisal, the market risk premium Rpm is 7.5%.
• | The risk adjustment coefficient |
According to preliminary design report, the hydropower station installed capacity should reach
42,000kW, in consideration of the hydropower station approaching to completion, the 1# and 2#
sets has been in trial run. The income of the power station is relatively xxxxxxx and the
operating risk is not high. At present, the assets/liabilities ratio of the enterprise is not
high and its business finance risk is not high. Whereas the above content, the specific risk
adjustment “A” is confirmed to be 1%.
