CERTIFICATION BY AUDITORS IN RELATION TO THE LINE BUSINESS AND ENERGY BUSINESS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

We have examined for the purposes of Regulation 6 of the Electricity (Information Disclosure) Regulations 1994, the Top Energy Limited Line and Energy Business financial statements for the year ended 31 March 1995 set out on pages 4 to 19.

As set out in the Statement of Accounting Policies, the Company has adopted a policy of renewal accounting for its distribution network. This policy presumes that the distribution network would be maintained indefinitely to at least its current operating capability. All expenditure made to maintain the network’s operating capacity, including both maintenance and renewal expenditure, is expensed and there is no periodic charge for depreciation. We were unable to obtain sufficient evidence from the Company to demonstrate that the systems and plans in place justify the assertions that the operating capacity of the network would be maintained indefinitely. It is not possible to determine with reasonable accuracy the effect, if any, on the carrying value of distribution system infrastructural assets included in the fixed assets and on expenses, excluding finance costs.

We hereby certify that, having made all reasonable enquiry, to the best of our knowledge, and subject to the matter referred to in the above paragraph, those financial statements give a true and fair view of the matters to which they relate and have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Electricity (Information Disclosure) Regulations 1994.
