(vii) INCOME TAX
The provision for income tax is calculated using the liability method prepared on a comprehensive basis. A debit balance in the deferred tax account arising from timing differences or income tax benefits arising from income tax losses is only recognised if there is virtual certainty of realisation.
(viii) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Egmont Electricity Limited is party to financial instrument arrangements as part of its everyday operations, including both instruments which have been recognised in these financial statements and those which are off-balance sheet.
The financial instruments which have been recognised in the financial statements include bank balances, short term deposits, receivables, payables and term loans. Revenues and expenses in relation to these are recognised in the Statement of Financial Performance. The financial instruments themselves are recognised in the Statement of Financial Position.
The financial instruments which are off-balance sheet comprise interest rate swaps. These are employed for the primary purpose of reducing exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. While these financial instruments are subject to risk that market rates may change subject to acquisition, such changes would generally be offset by opposite effects on the items being hedged. For interest rate swap agreements, the differential to be paid or received is accrued as interest rates change and is recognised as a component of interest expense over the life of the agreement.
C. CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As this is the first period of reporting, there have been no changes in accounting policies during the year under review.
