Counties Power Limited – Lines Business
STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
For the Year Ended 31 March 2006

STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

ENTITY REPORTING

Counties Power’s electricity business for the year ended 31 March 2006 consisted of lines business activities, electrical construction, garage workshop services and other related activities. To provide the best service to customers these activities were undertaken as a single operation. Accordingly statutory financial reporting and management reporting do not distinguish between lines business and other business activities. For the purposes of these financial statements the reporting entity has been established using the prescribed allocation methodology to provide accounting separation.

STATUTORY BASE

These financial statements are presented in accordance with Requirement 6 of the Commerce Commission’s Electricity Information Disclosure Requirements 2004.

MEASUREMENT BASE

The financial statements have been prepared on the historic cost basis, modified by the revaluation of certain assets, as identified in specific accounting policies below.

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The financial statements are prepared in accordance with New Zealand generally accepted accounting practice. The accounting policies that materially affect the measurement of financial performance, financial position and cash flows are set out below.

Revenue

Goods and Services

Sales comprise the amounts received and receivable for goods and services supplied to customers in the ordinary course of business.

Lines revenue is charged to customers based mainly upon the volume of energy transmitted through lines. The volume of energy upon which invoicing is based, is advised to the company by electricity retailers. This information is in turn based upon a combination of actual meter reads and assessments.

Investment Income

Interest and rental income are accounted for as earned.
