<strong>2011</strong> ANNUAL REPORT<br />

FINANCIAL COMMENTARY (continued)<br />

<strong>2011</strong> <strong>2011</strong> <strong>2011</strong> 2010 2012<br />

actual budget Variance to Budget Actual Budget<br />

$000 $000 $000 $000<br />

Deferred tax liability<br />

848,828 775,362 9.5% 402,049 849,704<br />

The deferred tax liability primarily comprises temporary differences between the revalued property, plant and equipment and the values<br />

recognised for tax purposes plus differences in the company’s depreciation rates and those permitted by the Inland Revenue Department.<br />

At 30 June <strong>2011</strong>, deferred taxation was higher than budget, principally due to the revaluation of property, plant and equipment for accounting<br />

purposes being greater than budgeted. The increase in deferred tax liability compared to last year primarily reflects the integration of the deferred<br />

tax balances of Metrowater and Manukau Water of $301.6 million on 1 November 2010 and the tax effect of the revaluation of the property, plant<br />

and equipment for accounting purposes of $140.7 million.<br />

Statement of Cash Flows<br />

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE <strong>2011</strong><br />

No price adjustment was paid to customers during the financial year to 30 June <strong>2011</strong>. As such, all of the company’s cash flow from operations<br />

was available for either capital expenditure or debt repayment. Borrowings increased as a result of the shortfall between operating cash flows<br />

and capital expenditure.<br />

The net cash flows from financing activities show a net increase in borrowings in <strong>2011</strong> from the prior year. The increase in debt resulted from the<br />

higher level of capital expenditure relative to the operating cash flows.<br />

The audited financial statements are set out on pages 68 to 105.<br />
