Pipelines, compressors and gate stations were revalued as at 30 June 2003 using the optimised deprival valuation (ODV) methodology. As a result, the valuation of pipelines, compressors and gate stations increased by $12.93 million from the pre-revaluation amounts.

NGC has been completing regular revaluations of these assets since 1994 using the ODV methodology. The major assumptions resulting in the increase from the 2000 revaluation included an increase in construction rates for measure and value contracts. The valuation was reviewed and certified by Meritec Limited, the legal entity that employed its Senior Business Consultant, Guenter Wabnitz, as the person with primary responsibility for the review of NGC's valuation.

The independent valuer was engaged by NGC on the basis of his experience in valuations of infrastructure assets and technical and commercial expertise in New Zealand's gas and energy sector. Meritec Limited is an independent consulting firm and has no commercial interest in NGC.

The qualifications of Guenter Wabnitz relevant to this valuation review are:

  • Commercial valuations of most of New Zealand's gas networks, for ODV, due diligence, insurance, district valuation roll and other purposes.

  • Over 20 years experience in management, design and operations of gas production, processing and transportation systems in New Zealand, Australia, Asia and Europe.
