e) Commercial Bank Debt
As at 30 June 2006 the balance of Commercial Bank Debt of Powerco Limited was $160 million which relates to a Term Loan Facility agreed and drawn in August 2004, expiring August 2009, which was used to refinance the remaining tranche of the Asset Purchase Facility used to fund the acquisition by Powerco Limited of United Networks Limited (UNL) assets. The Term Loan Facility is jointly provided through Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Westpac Banking Corporation and ANZ National Bank, each with an equal share. The interest rate on the $160 million Term Loan Facility is currently 8.12%. The Term Loan Facility has the benefit of the Security Trust Deed, for the purposes of which it is designated as a Senior Secured Debt Facility and thus secured against the Network assets of Powerco Limited. As at 30 June 2005 a sum of $160 million had been drawn. In the previous year the Group had $180 million commercial bank debt which had an interest rate of 7.24%.
At year end the amount of the commercial bank debt facility allocated to the gas division was $34,687 million (2005: $66,960 million).
As at the reporting date the carrying value approximates the fair value as interest rates are reset each quarter.

The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows:
- For floating rate debt carrying value approximates fair value due to continuing interest rate reset.
- For fixed rate debt opposing floating rate derivative instruments matching tenor and term are used in offset position to calculate fair values. The movements in these derivatives approximate movements in market values.
- For derivative instruments fair value is based on quoted prices.
