For the year ended 31 March 2001

During the year Transpower invoiced the Company $1,935,648 (plus GST) in respect of their costs to date in respect to the formerly proposed Frasertown – Gisborne transmission line. The Directors, having sought legal advice, dispute that the Company is liable for these costs. Negotiations are continuing with Transpower towards resolving this issue.

19) Contingent Asset

In September 2000 the network was subjected to a wide ranging and slow moving wind storm, which caused extensive damage to parts of the network. Storm repairs cost the company in excess of $2 million. The company carried storm insurance for such an event. To date an interim payment of $750,000 has been approved. The company is still working through the final claim and expects final settlement to be between $1.25 million and $1.5 million.
