Valuation techniques and key inputs<br />

The fair value of the financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly<br />

transaction between market participants at the balance sheet date.<br />

The fair values of the financial instruments held at fair value have been determined based on available market information at the balance<br />

sheet date and the valuation methodologies listed below:<br />

- the fair values of forward foreign exchange contracts are calculated with reference to well recognised proprietary financial models used<br />

by bank counterparties and verified using discounted cash flow modelling;<br />

- the fair value of the index-linked swap is calculated by adding a credit value adjustment to an amount provided by bank counterparties<br />

using proprietary financial models. This is validated using discounted cash flow modelling and observable forward inflation indices at the<br />

reporting date and contracted inflation rates, discounted at a rate that reflects the credit risk of the various counterparties. The credit<br />

value adjustment is determined by the group to reflect own credit risk by reference to bank margins appropriate to NERL’s credit rating;<br />

and<br />

- the fair value of the £600m bond has been derived from its externally quoted price.<br />

Except as detailed in the following table, the directors consider that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities<br />

recorded at amortised cost in the financial statements approximate to their fair values:<br />
