NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(CONTINUED)

7 FIXED ASSETS (Continued)

LAND CLAIMS

Under the Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975, all interests in land included in the assets purchased from the Crown may be subject to claims to the Waitangi Tribunal, which has the power to recommend in appropriate circumstances, with binding effect, that the land be resumed by the Crown in order that it be returned to Maori claimants. In the event that land is resumed by the Crown, compensation will be paid to Telecom under the provisions of the Public Works Act 1981. If this is insufficient to cover the loss, certain additional compensation is payable under the provisions of the Sale and Purchase Agreement between Telecom and the Crown.

Under the State Owned Enterprises Act 1986, the Governor General of New Zealand, if satisfied that any land or interest in land held by Telecom is Wahi Tapu (being land of special spiritual, cultural or historical tribal significance) may declare by Order in Council that the land be resumed by the Crown, with compensation payable to Telecom under the provisions of the Public Works Act 1981.

Telecom would expect to negotiate with the new Maori owners for continued occupancy rights of any sites resumed by the Crown.
