CITY RAIL LINK LIMITED | Statement of Performance Expectations 2020-2021

City Rail Link (CRL or the Project) will contribute to a vibrant Auckland by transforming how people travel, live in, work in and enjoy their city. It is New Zealand’s largest transport infrastructure project ever and a game-changer for Auckland, doubling the capacity of the current rail network. The Project’s scope of works includes: • Building 3.45km twin track underground tunnels connecting Britomart to Mt Eden, with tunnel depths of up to 42 metres

The Crown and Auckland Council (CRL’s Sponsors) have agreed to co-fund and partner on the delivery of CRL, and collaborate on other initiatives, looking to achieve a number of overarching objectives. These include creating significant travel time savings and better connections for Auckland. Once it is built, CRL will double the number of

Forecast Financial Statements The forecast financial statements (on pages 9-12) include a Statement of Forecast Comprehensive Revenue and Expenses, Statement of Forecast Financial Position, Statement of Forecast Changes in Equity and Statement of Forecast Cash Flows for the 2021 financial year. CRL Ltd is funded to deliver the Project. Under the terms set out in the PDA, funding is recognised as share capital. Other funding received by CRL Ltd is by way of rental income from properties purchased to enable the build but not yet decommissioned, and interest on surplus cash balances. These items will be recorded as revenue in the Statement of Forecast Comprehensive Revenue and Expenses. CRL Ltd incurs expenditure as part of its activities. Operating expenditure (i.e. the day-to-day running of CRL Ltd) and project expenditure (i.e. unable to be capitalised) is recorded in the Statement of Forecast Comprehensive Revenue and Expenses. This expenditure is funded by the Sponsors. Project expenditure that is capital in nature is recorded on the Statement of Forecast Financial Position as Capital Work in Progress.

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 2019/20 net deficit of $112.8 million. This impacts on estimated amounts of cash in hand and net assets.

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.

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

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: • Expenditure forecast uncertainty, with regards to timing and amount of future transactions related to the C5 and C7 contracts which were still being finalised at time of preparing this document. • 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 done 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
