Credit risk impact
In 2008, none of the debt fair value gain (loss) is due to changes in credit risk. In 2007, the fair value movement on debt is estimated to include a fair value gain of between $515,000 and $1,030,000 due to a change in credit risk. In November 2006, Transpower's Standard and Poor's credit rating decreased from a AA to AA-. This is estimated to have increased the cost of the Lines Business's debt by between 5 and 10 basis points. The nominal value of debt in November 2006 was $1,030,000,000 therefore the fair value impact of the increased credit risk is estimated to be a fair value gain of between $515,000 and $1,030,000.
Accounting Hedges
The Lines Business hedges against foreign currency fluctuations on certain foreign purchases through the use of forward exchange contracts. The "hedge commitment" represents the non derivative fair value movement on the commitment to buy the goods, i.e. before the goods or an invoice are received.
Debt and Investments
Refer to Note 23 Financial Instruments for information on the use of debt, investments and derivatives.
