A provision to reflect the difference between the actual and current market interest rates is included in the creditors and accruals and is being reversed as loans mature. Directors acknowledge this does not conform to current Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. Directors believe the treatment is appropriate given the statutory obligation to "value" the undertaking to ensure that the book value of assets and liabilities used for statutory vesting from Tasman Electric Power Board were realistic using current commercial acquisition practice. The reversal will be completed in May 1998.
