Management of capital

Transpower’s capital structure and dividend policy was reviewed during 2011. As a result of this review, Transpower resumed dividend payments during the 2011/12 financial year and now funds a greater proportion of its capital programme with debt.

Available for sale reserve

This reserve comprises the cumulative net change in the fair value of available for sale financial assets until the investment is derecognised. The available for sale assets are the Fonterra shares that Transpower holds. During 2012, the assets were fully impaired meaning the reserve balance was recycled to profit or loss. Refer to Note 6 Change in fair value of financial instruments for details.
