Financial Statements for the purposes of the
Electricity Information Disclosure Requirements 2004
Notes to the Financial Statements
for the year ended 31 March 2006
vii) Financial Instruments
Financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk have been entered into for the primary purpose of reducing exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. Horizon Energy Distribution Limited primarily uses interest rate swaps to reduce exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company’s Treasury Policy governs the duration and proportion of debt hedged. While financial instruments are subject to risk that market rates may change subsequent to acquisition, such changes would generally be offset by opposite effects on the items hedged.
Financial instruments entered into with no underlying exposure are accounted for on a mark to market basis.
ii) Research and Development
Costs incurred on all research and development projects are written off as incurred, except that development costs are capitalised to the extent that such costs are expected, beyond any reasonable doubt, to be recovered.
ix) Comparatives
The statements and notes do not restate comparatives or provide comparatives for changes to reflect the mandatory ACAM methodology or for new disclosure items per the Electricity Information Disclosure Requirements 2004.
C. Changes in Accounting Policies
There have been no changes in accounting policies.
