The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument where it is practical to estimate that value:

Trade receivables, trade payables, cash and short term deposits and bank loans

The carrying amount of these items is equivalent to their fair value. Bank overdrafts are set off against cash balances pursuant to right of set-off.
Trade receivables are net of doubtful debts provided.

Medium term notes

The fair value of NZ$ notes is based on quoted market prices.
The fair value of A$ notes is based on the face value converted at the exchange rate prevailing at balance date.

Capital bonds

The fair value of capital bonds is based on quoted market prices.

Derivative instruments

The fair value of interest rate swaps, cross currency swaps, forward rate agreements and other derivative instruments is estimated based on the quoted market prices for these instruments.
