In respect of the valuation, there is a deferred tax liability for tax depreciation recovered amounting to approximately $41 million (1998: $31 million), which would crystallise if all the revalued assets were disposed of for their carrying value. This liability has not been recognised in the financial statements.

A deferred tax liability of $8.1 million, previously recognised in respect of the revaluation of a sub-network, has been written back, as this liability is not expected to crystallise in the foreseeable future.
