The revaluation for the helicopters has been carried out by international helicopters/aircraft values considering the total time of air frame (TTAF) (Cumulative time in Service ). Accordingly, the resultant accretion to the value of the helicopters aggregating Rs.924.538 millions had been adjusted (added) to the historical cost of the asset and a corresponding amount has been credited to Revaluation Reserve.
