6. Operating Segments

The Group has eleven reportable segments representing branches of the Company, as described below. These are the Group’s strategic business units. The strategic business units offer similar services representing transmission of electric power and connection services, and are managed separately. For each of the strategic business units, the Board of Experts, the Group’s operating decision making body, reviews internal management reports on at least a quarterly basis.

“Others” include operations of subsidiaries and the head office branch. None of them meets any of the quantitative thresholds for determining reportable segments in 2011 or 2010.

Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included below. Performance is measured based on segment profit before income tax, as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Board of Experts.

Segment reports are based on the information reported in statutory accounts, which differ significantly from the consolidated financial statements prepared under IFRSInternational Financial Reporting Standards. The reconciliation of items measured as reported to the Board of Experts with similar items in these Financial Statements includes those reclassifications and adjustments that are necessary for financial statements to be presented in accordance with IFRS.

Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the year to acquire property, plant and equipment.
