| Opening balance | 186 | 138 |

The provision for long service leave relates to an actuarial assessment of entitlements that may become due to employees in the future. The provision is affected by a number of estimates, including the expected length of service of employees and the timing of benefits being taken. Most of the liability is expected to be incurred over the next 5 years.

Non-current liabilities

Non-current liabilities are as follows:

| | 2005
$000’s | 2004
$000’s |
|----------------|----------------|
| Payables and accruals | - | - |
| Borrowings | 40,000 | 40,000 |
| Deferred tax (see Note 4) | 51,737 | 45,293 |
| Other | - | - |

Borrowings

A summary of interest bearing debt is as follows:

| | 2005
$000’s | 2004
$000’s |
|----------------|----------------|
| Current (NZD) | - | - |
| > 2 years (NZD)| 40,000 | 40,000 |
| Total | 40,000 | 40,000 |

All borrowings are unsecured against the company, however a deed of negative pledge and guarantee requires the company to comply with certain covenants.

Interest rates for the borrowings are floating based on bank bill rates plus a margin. At 31 March 2005 this rate was 7.1% (2004 5.6%). The company has entered into derivative contracts to hedge its exposure to interest rate fluctuations (refer Note 12).
