Parent<br />

Secured loans<br />

<strong>Christchurch</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Council</strong>’s secured debt of $302.3 million (2009:<br />

$209.0 million) is issued at both fixed and floating rate of interest.<br />

For floating rate debt, the interest rate is reset quarterly based on<br />

the 90-day bank bill rate plus a margin for credit risk. As at 30 June<br />

<strong>2010</strong>, this rate averaged 5.48% (2009: 4.45%). <strong>Christchurch</strong> <strong>City</strong><br />

<strong>Council</strong> has entered into derivative contracts to hedge its exposure<br />

to interest rate fluctuations. As at 30 June <strong>2010</strong> the average effective<br />

interest rate for the fixed rate debt is 6.93% (2009: 6.85%).<br />

Security<br />

<strong>Christchurch</strong> <strong>City</strong> <strong>Council</strong>’s loans are secured over either separate<br />

or general rates of the district.<br />

Fair Value<br />

The fair value of loans is $317.9 million (2009: $223 million). The fair<br />

values are based on cash flows discounted using a rate based on the<br />

borrowing rates ranging from 2.89-5.38% (2009: 2.80-5.96%).<br />

The carrying amounts of borrowings repayable within one year<br />

approximate their fair value, as the impact of discounting is not<br />

significant.<br />

Group<br />

Details of the material borrowings are as follows:<br />

CCHL<br />

CCHL’s borrowings at 30 June <strong>2010</strong> comprised:<br />

• Bonds and floating rate notes totalling $175 million (2009: $150<br />

million) in five tranches ranging from $5 million to $70 million.<br />

These borrowings mature at various intervals until November<br />

2018. Bond coupon rates are between 6.21% and 6.87%.<br />

• A loan facility of $30 million (2009: $30 million). The facility<br />

matured in July <strong>2010</strong>, and was replaced by a $30 million floating<br />

rate note issue.<br />

• Commercial paper of $76 million (2009: $23 million). This is short<br />

term debt on a 90 day rollover period.<br />

• The company also has an undrawn $20 million standby facility.<br />

The borrowings were put in place under a $350 million debt<br />

issuance programme. The borrowings are unsecured, but the loan<br />

documentation imposes certain covenants and restrictions on<br />

CCHL. The company has entered into derivative contracts to hedge<br />

its exposure to interest rate fluctuations.<br />

Orion New Zealand Ltd<br />

The company’s bank debt of $37.2 million (2009: $46.8 million)<br />

is unsecured against the company; however a deed of negative<br />

pledge and guarantee requires the company to comply with certain<br />

covenants. This facility matures 30 September <strong>2010</strong> (2009: 30<br />

September <strong>2010</strong>). Subsequent to balance date the facilities were<br />

extended to mature on 31 December <strong>2010</strong> and the company elected<br />

to reduce its facility limit to $90 million.<br />

Interest rates for all borrowings are floating rate based on bank bill<br />

rates plus a margin. As at 31 March <strong>2010</strong> this rate averaged 3.06%<br />

(2009: 3.83%). The company has entered into derivative contracts to<br />

hedge its exposure to interest rate fluctuations.<br />

<strong>Christchurch</strong> International Airport Ltd<br />

The company has a $250 million funding facility with four<br />

banks to fund the ongoing business and the proposed terminal<br />

development. In addition, the company has a fully drawn<br />

subordinated $50 million facility with CCHL and an overdraft<br />

facility of $1 million (2009: $250 million funding facility, $50<br />

million subordinated facility with CCHL and $1 million overdraft<br />

facility).<br />

All borrowings under the bank facility and overdraft facility are<br />

unsecured and supported by a negative pledge deed. Interest<br />

rates paid during the year, including offsetting interest rate swaps,<br />

ranged from 6.99-8.80% (2009: 7.08-8.55%).<br />

Lyttelton Port Company Ltd<br />

Current and term advances of $57.9 million (2009: $57.1 million)<br />

have been raised pursuant to a multi-currency facility agreement<br />

with Westpac Banking Corporation. Those funds have been lent<br />

against a negative pledge deed where Westpac ranks equally with<br />

other creditors. The facility is in two tranches of $95 million and $55<br />

million respectively with renewal dates of 1 July 2011 and 1 July 2012<br />

respectively. There was no difference between the face value and<br />

carrying amount of these loans and borrowings as at 30 June <strong>2010</strong><br />

or 30 June 2009.
