Regulatory Risk

The Government has signalled its intention to bring forward legislation this year that will introduce price regulation into the electric lines business sector. If such legislation is enacted, it is likely that the value of the business and its profit-earning potential will be detrimentally affected. The effect cannot be quantified at the time of this report.

Fair Values

The estimated fair values of the financial instruments are as follows:

1999 1998
Carrying Fair Carrying Fair
Amount Value Amount Value
$000 $000 $000 $000
Cash at Bank 9,456 9,456 7,403 7,403
Receivables 1,759 1,759 1,822 1,822
Tax Receivables 0 0 167 167
Payables 780 780 1,330 1,330
Tax Payables 506 506 - -
Provisions 149 149 480 480
Subordinated Debt 10,000 - 10,000 -
Borrowings 46 46 44 44

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Subordinated Debt

It is not practicable to estimate the fair value of the Subordinated Debt, which is held by the Shareholders at nil interest and is subject to conditions contained within the Deed of Loan and Subordination.

19. SEGMENTAL REPORTING

The business only operates in one economic and geographic segment. The principal activity of the business is electricity distribution within the Gisborne District.

All income was earned within the geographical boundaries of the Gisborne District.
