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.
20. PERFORMANCE MEASURES
The performance of the business for the year ended 31 March 1999 is as follows:
| Performance Measure | Target | Actual | Variance |
|---|---|---|---|
| (a) to aim for a target equivalent kilometre | |||
| reconstruction of 11kV distribution line of | 110 kms | N/A* | N/A |
- Due to changing work methods, it was decided during the year that this measure is no longer relevant and therefore data to report is not available.
