In 1995, Abraham AS completed the construction of a building at a cost of €1,900,000 and first occupied it in January 1996. It was estimated that the building would have a useful life of 40 years and a residual value of €60,000 at the end of that time.

Early in 2006, an addition to the building was constructed at a cost of €470,000. At that time it was estimated that the remaining life of the building would be, as originally estimated, an additional 30 years, and that the addition would have a life of 30 years and a residual value of €20,000.

In 2024, it is determined that the probable life of the building and addition will extend to the end of 2055, or 20 years beyond the original estimate.
