✨ Financial Statements Notes

30 NOVEMBER NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE 4553

TRANSPOWER NEW ZEALAND LIMITED GROUP

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 1998

21. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (cont...)

Transmission hedge pricing risk policy

To limit Transpower’s risk from offering transmission hedge contracts the Board has established maximum loss levels arising from these contracts. To ensure the maximum loss level is not exceeded the transmission hedge contract sets a maximum payout level per period. The cumulative cash flows received and paid under transmission hedge contracts are monitored on a daily basis.

c) Financial instruments which manage currency, interest rate and liquidity risk

The Transpower Board of Directors have authorised the use of the following financial instruments to manage currency risk, interest rate risk and liquidity risk:

On Balance Sheet financial assets and liabilities

Term debt

Transpower has four active debt facilities: a European Commercial Paper Programme, Euro Medium Term Note Programme, a Domestic Medium Term Note Programme and a Domestic Multi-option Facility. The Company uses these facilities to issue debt securities into different global debt markets.

In the event Transpower is unable to utilise these facilities the Company has established two committed credit facilities. One facility is a NZ$500,000,000 Multi-option Facility with a syndicate of domestic and offshore banks of which NZ$125,000,000 is underwritten and which was unutilised as at 30 June 1998 and 30 June 1997. The second facility is a Standby Facility for US$190,000,000 (NZ$375,456,971) of which the total amount was unused at 30 June 1998 and 30 June 1997.

Term investments

Transpower from time to time invests surplus cash arising from its core operations and from active liquidity management in wholesale bank deposits and securities for periods of up to one year.

Off Balance Sheet financial assets and liabilities

Interest rate swaps

Interest rate swaps are used to change the interest rate structure on physical debt issued by Transpower. The interest rate on debt is either converted from floating rate to fixed rate or vice versa through entering into an interest rate swap. In the normal course of Transpower’s hedging activities interest rate swaps are entered into for periods of up to ten years.
