Financial Statements of the Government of New Zealand for the Year Ended 30 June 2009

Information on State-owned Enterprises and Crown Entities

Accounting Policies

The Crown's financial interest in State-owned enterprises (“SOEs”) and Crown entities (“CEs”) is reported in accordance with the Crown's accounting policies. Adjustments have been made to restate the financial position and financial performance of certain entities, as reported in their own financial statements, to a basis consistent with the Crown's accounting policies.

With the exception of Tertiary Education Institutions (“TEIs”) the Crown has line-by-line combined all SOEs and CEs.

The Crown has equity accounted 100% of the net assets of TEIs on the basis that, in the event of disestablishment of a TEI (which is subject to a resolution of the House), 100% of the net assets revert to the Crown in the absence of a decision to transfer the assets to a new or existing institution and, in the meantime, the Crown enjoys the benefits of the provision of a higher education to the public of New Zealand (refer note 21).

Minority Interests

The ownership interest in Air New Zealand Limited is 75.49% (2008: 76.07%). The interest in Air New Zealand Limited is included within the SOE segment.

Balance Dates

Except for those entities listed below, all SOEs and significant CE's have a balance date of 30 June, and the information reported in these financial statements is for the period ended 30 June 2009:
