• In accordance with the Crown Entities Act 2004, which include the requirement to comply with New

Zealand generally accepted accounting practice (NZGAAP) and the Companies Act 1993

• In accordance with PBE FRS42 and NZGAAP as it relates to prospective financial statements

Statement of Significant Underlying Assumptions

Funding from the Sponsors Funding from the Sponsors is based on the expenditure programme for the Project, assuming sufficient funding is available for the Project. Funding requirement is assessed monthly and the funding application to the Sponsors and approval by the Sponsors is completed before the beginning of every quarter. For successful funding applications, the majority of funds are received at the beginning of the new quarter.

Personnel costs Forecast costs assume the current organisational structure will be in place throughout the period. A proportion of personnel cost which is directly attributable to the Project is capitalised and recognised as Capital Work in Progress in the Statement of Forecast Financial Position.

Capital CRL Ltd is undertaking a programme of capital spending aimed at delivering the CRL project. Projected costs and timing of expenditure are based on plans and quotations that were current when these forecasts were prepared.

Opening equity Estimated opening equity assumes 2020/21 net deficit of $253.7 million. This impacts on estimated amounts of cash in hand and net assets.

Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements contained in this document are prospective and, by their nature, contain assumptions which may lead to material differences between the prospective financial statements and the actual financial results prepared in future reporting periods. CRL Ltd has undertaken a review of its financial models, and believes they remain fit for purpose in assisting CRL Ltd in preparing prospective financial statements. The prospective statements for CRL Ltd is subject to significant management judgement relating to the timing and quantum of the investments, and the prospective information reflects the best information available to management.

Project Funding

Project costs, which are capital in nature, create an asset for CRL Ltd as well as operating costs for its day to day running and management and are funded by a share issue to the Crown and Auckland Council. This funding is not recognised as revenue in the forecast financial statements.

Rental Revenue

Other revenue generated by CRL Ltd is from rental income from properties required to enable the build but not yet decommissioned and will be recorded as revenue.

Interest Income

Interest revenue is calculated on a proportion basis for the surplus cash balances throughout the forecast.

General Expenses

General expenses includes costs such as operating leases, rates, directors fees, telecommunications and other office operating costs.

Foreign Currency Transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into NZ$ (the functional currency) using the spot exchange rates at the date of the transactions. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions and from the translation at yearend exchange rates of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are recognised in the surplus or deficit.

Goods and Service Tax

Items in the financial statements are presented exclusive of GST, except for receivables and payables, which are presented on a GST inclusive basis. Where GST is not recoverable as input tax, it is recognised as part of the related asset or expense.

Income Tax

CRL Ltd is a Public Authority in accordance with the Income Tax Act 2007 and consequently is exempt from the payment of income tax. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income tax.

Property, Plant & Equipment

Property, plant and equipment consists of land, building, subterranean land, furniture and fittings, computer hardware, software and office equipment.

Recognition and measurement

Property, plant and equipment is measured initially at cost. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items. The cost of an item of property plant and equipment is recognised only when it is probable that future economic benefit or service potential associated with the item will flow to CRL Ltd, and if the item’s cost can be measured reliably.

The majority of capital expenditure will remain as ‘Capital Work in Progress’ for the duration of the Project.

Work in progress is recognised at cost less impairment and is not depreciated.

Depreciation

Land, Buildings and Subterranean Land are held for the development of rail tunnels and stations and are not depreciated. All other assets are depreciated on a straight- line basis over the useful life of the asset. Depreciation is charged at rates calculated to allocate the cost or valuation of the asset less any estimated residual value over its remaining useful life:

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Land and buildings Temporary Not depreciated Buildings - other 4 years Subterranean land Not depreciated Furniture and fittings 5 years Office equipment 5 years Computer hardware 5 years

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and amortisation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year end.

Derecognition

An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no further future economic benefits or service potential are expected from its use or disposal.

Gains and losses on disposals are determined by comparing proceeds with the carrying amount. These are included in surplus or deficit.

Share Capital and Equity

All B class shares issued are fully paid and have a face value of $1 each. The Shareholder’s investment in CRL Ltd is made up of 2,058,280 shares as of 1 July 2021 and is expected to be 3,038,280 shares as of 30 June 2022.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

In preparing these prospective financial statements, CRL Ltd has made estimates and assumptions concerning the future. These estimates and assumptions may differ from the subsequent actual results. Estimates and assumptions are continually evaluated and are based on expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The estimates and assumptions that have significant risk of causing material adjustment to the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities within the forecast financial statements are as follows:

• Third Party Works: CRL Ltd fund work undertaken by KiwiRail Holdings Ltd on the KiwiRail Holdings

Ltd network. As part of the overall project CRL

Ltd undertakes or funds construction work across the wider Auckland rail network. The nature of the work completed, and the ownership of the assets constructed, means they do not form part of the

CRL Ltd assets, in accordance with NZ GAAP.

• Asset Transfers: as CRL Ltd completes certain contracts it may transfer separable assets relating to enabling works (including assets related to a number of utility services) for the CRL to the Sponsors or their subsidiaries as those assets are commissioned for use. However, the ownership of the majority of CRL Ltd’s key assets will stay with CRL Ltd until the completion of the Project. Therefore, they will remain as CRL Ltd work in progress until that time. Per PBE IPSAS 37 Joint Arrangements, CRL

Ltd continues to be classified as a joint venture (as opposed to joint operation) by the Sponsors as the ultimate ownership of the CRL assets is yet to be determined. Any separable assets transferred prior to project completion will transfer without compensation and hence will be treated as a vested asset in the period in which the asset transfer occurs. CRL Ltd will recognise a vested asset expense on transfer of the asset.

• COVID-19: the cost impact of COVID-19 is yet to be determined across CRL Ltd’s construction contracts, but the expectation is that such costs will be able to be accommodated within the existing project budget. The impact (if any) to the target project completion date is yet to be fully quantified.
