> (vi) For fiscal 2002 and 2001, only the TESOP 97 options are dilutive to dilutive earnings per share per USGAAP.  The average market price of Telstra shares is below the exercise price of the TESOP 99 options and therefore the TESOP 99 options are not dilutive.  The exercise price for TESOP 97 and TESOP 99 options is the remaining loan balance payable by the employee to Telstra.  For fiscal 2000, both the TESOP 97 and TESOP 99 options are dilutive to dilutive earnings per share per USGAAP.

> (vii) For USGAAP, the earnings per share calculations for fiscal 2002, 2001 and 2000 are affected by the issue of TESOP 97 and TESOP 99 options referred to in note 30(m) below.

> 30(a) Property, plant and equipmentRevaluations
> Prior to 1 July 2000, AGAAP allowed property, plant and equipment to be revalued upwards.  Increases in revalued amounts were recorded in an asset revaluation reserve, unless they reversed a previous revaluation decrease charged to the statement of financial performance.  Impairments (decreases) to asset values were recorded in the statement of financial performance, unless they reversed a previous increase still remaining in the asset revaluation reserve.
> 
> 
> Revaluations of property, plant and equipment are not allowed under USGAAP, except for permanent impairments.  Including the broadband network described below, the net adjustment included in the reconciliation to shareholders equity to reduce revalued property, plant and equipment to historical cost for revaluations and impairments not allowed under USGAAP is $407 million for fiscal 2002 (2001: $371 million; 2000: $371 million).  For fiscal 2002, additional depreciation and disposals of $36 million expense (2001: $2 million benefit; 2000: $37 million expense) have been included in the reconciliation of net income to USGAAP.
> 
> 
> Under USGAAP, a permanent impairment loss can only be recorded when the future undiscounted cash flows relating to a group of assets are less than the recorded amount of the assets.  Under AGAAP, impairment losses are recorded in accordance with Telstra's accounting policy when discounted future cash flows are less than the recorded amount of the asset.  Under AGAAP, in note 3, we recorded a $Nil impairment during fiscal 2002 (2001: $31 million impairment loss; 2000: $Nil).  In fiscal 2001, this related to Infrastructure Services & Wholesale projects that were cancelled and the related capitalised internal use software that was written off.  This write off was allowed under USGAAP and no adjustment to the USGAAP reconciliation was made.
> 
> 
> USGAAP Impairment loss reversal - broadband network:  In fiscal 1997, for AGAAP we wrote down the value of our broadband network.   We recognised an impairment loss of $342 million in net income and $245 million was adjusted against the asset revaluation reserve.  Under USGAAP, the initial future undiscounted cash flows derived from our broadband network were greater than the recorded value and continue to be as at 30 June 2002.  The reversal of the impairment loss has been adjusted for in the reconciliations of net income and shareholders' equity to USGAAP and additional depreciation of $62 million was recorded in the reconciliation of net income to USGAAP in fiscal 2002 (2001: $62 million; 2000: $62 million), included in the net adjustments above.
> 
> 
> 
> 
> Depreciation expense
> Depreciation expense for AGAAP and USGAAP has been calculated using the straight line method of depreciation.  Under AGAAP, depreciation expense is based on the recorded amount of the asset and is therefore higher for assets that have been revalued upwards.  Depreciation expense has been adjusted to reflect depreciation based on original cost in the reconciliations of net income and shareholders' equity to USGAAP.
> 
> Indirect overheads included as part of the cost of constructed assets
> Under AGAAP, before 1 July 1996 we recorded overhead costs directly associated with the construction of our communication assets as part of the cost of those assets.  We expensed all indirect overhead costs as incurred.  From 1 July 1996, indirect overhead costs associated with operations and management personnel directly involved in the construction of our communication assets have been recorded as part of the cost of those assets.  This policy is now the same as USGAAP.
> 
> 
> To reflect the current policy, as if it had always been in place for USGAAP purposes, for fiscal 2002 capitalised overheads before 1 July 1996 with a net book value of $638 million  (2001:$782 million, 2000: $925 million) have been included in the reconciliation of shareholders' equity to USGAAP.  For fiscal 2002, additional depreciation and disposals of $144 million  (2001: $142 million; 2000: $157 million) have been included in the reconciliation of net income to USGAAP.
> 
> Borrowing costs included as part of the cost of constructed assets
> Under AGAAP, before 1 July 1996, we expensed all borrowing costs when incurred.  From 1 July 1996, borrowing costs relating to the construction of property, plant and equipment for internal use are recorded as part of the cost of the asset.  This policy is now the same as USGAAP.
> 
> 
> To reflect the current policy, as if it had always been in place for USGAAP purposes, for fiscal 2002 capitalised interest before 1 July 1996 with a net book value of $188 million (2001:$213 million, 2000: $264 million) have been included in the reconciliation of shareholders' equity to USGAAP.  For fiscal 2002, additional depreciation and disposals of $24 million (2001: $51 million; 2000: $32 million) have been included in the reconciliation of net income to USGAAP.

> 30(a) Property, plant and equipment (continued)
> 
> Profits/(losses) on the sale of assets
> Under AGAAP, proceeds on sale of non current assets are recorded as revenue from ordinary activities - other revenue, and the net book value of assets sold is recorded as other operating expenses, with the net impact representing the profit or loss on sale of non current assets.
> 
> 
> For USGAAP, the sale of non current assets is not considered to be an operating activity and as a result the net profit or loss on the sale of non-current assets is reclassified to other income below operating income.
> 
> 
> AGAAP reported profits or losses on the sale of revalued assets are based on revenue received less revalued net book value.  For USGAAP, profits or losses are based on revenue received less historical net book value.   Adjustments are made to the reconciliation of net income to USGAAP to record this difference in the profit or loss on sale.
> 
> 
> Re-classification of assets held for sale
> 
> 
> Under AGAAP, we have classified land and buildings held for sale, as described in note 28 'Events after balance date', as other current assets (refer note 14).
> 
> 
> Under USGAAP, usually assets held for sale should be classified as current assets.  However, as these assets are part of a sale and leaseback transaction, the land and buildings must remain in property, plant and equipment until the sale is complete.   In fiscal 2002, these assets have been reclassified, with a net book value increase to property, plant and equipment of $435 million.
> 
> 30(b) InvestmentsInvestments in joint venture entities and associated entities
> From 1 July 1997, we adopted the equity method of accounting for investments in joint venture entities and associated entities (refer note 1.10(b)). Under AGAAP, equity accounting is suspended where the cumulative share of losses and reserve movements have reduced the participating equity investment to zero. Under USGAAP, equity accounted losses are required to be recognised in net income to the extent that we have other non participating investments in the equity accounted entity (ie. preference shares or loans).   The effect of equity accounting losses once the investment has been written down to zero is not significant, therefore no adjustment has been made in the USGAAP reconciliation in fiscal years 2002 and 2000.
> 
> 
> In fiscal 2001, our investment in Reach Limited, was initially recorded at a cost of negative $30 million (refer note 30(p)). This negative investment was increased to zero by crediting the goodwill created on the acquisition of Regional Wireless Company (RWC).
> 
> Equity securities (excluding Satellite consortium investment, joint venture entities and associated entities)
> Under AGAAP, temporary changes in the fair values of debt and equity securities are not required to be recorded in the financial statements.  AGAAP however does require permanent impairments in the value of debt and equity securities to be recorded in the statement of financial performance.
> 
> 
> Under USGAAP, Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.115 (SFAS 115) "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities," we are required to account for debt and equity securities based on our intention to hold or sell the securities.  Securities classified as held-to-maturity are stated at cost unless there is a decline in fair value that is considered permanent.  This reduction is recorded in the statement of financial performance.  Securities classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair value with changes in fair value, other than a permanent reduction, recorded in a separate component of shareholders' equity (accumulated other comprehensive income) until realised.  Realised gains and losses are then recorded in the statement of financial performance.

Under USGAAP, minority interests are disclosed as a separate component of net assets rather than included in shareholders' equity.  The effect of this adjustment has been disclosed in the reconciliation of shareholders' equity to USGAAP.
> 
> 30(e) Dealer commissions and bonuses classificationUnder AGAAP, dealer commissions and bonuses are included in direct cost of sales as they are directly related to our sales revenue.  Under USGAAP, dealer commissions and bonuses are classified as other operating expenses. In the statement of financial performance measured and classified under USGAAP, dealer commissions and bonuses of $353 million for fiscal 2002 (2001: $386 million; 2000: $296 million) have been reclassified from direct cost of sales to other operating expenses.
> 
> 30(f) Retirement benefitsPension costs/benefits (superannuation expense under AGAAP) for our defined benefit plans are based on contributions payable to the plans for the year, at rates determined by the actuary of the defined benefit plans. Refer to note 22 for details of our superannuation plans.
> 
> 
> For our defined benefit schemes, where scheme assets are greater than members' vested entitlements, the difference is recorded as a prepaid pension asset. Where there has been a shortfall in prior years of the net market value of the scheme assets when compared to members' vested entitlements, we have provided for the present value of any shortfall, to the extent that the shortfall represents a present obligation.
> 
> 
> For USGAAP, pension costs/benefits for defined benefit plans are accounted for under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87 (SFAS 87) "Employers' Accounting for Pensions" and are calculated by an actuary using the projected unit credit method. This method includes current service cost, interest cost, return on plan assets and amortisation of transition assets.  Aggregated unrecorded gains and losses of the plans exceeding 10% of the greater of the aggregated projected benefit obligation or the market value of the plan assets are amortised over the average expected service period of active employees expected to receive benefits under the plan.
> 
> 
> We adopted SFAS 87 on 1 July 1992, as it was not feasible to adopt SFAS 87 from its effective date of 1 July 1989. The transition asset recorded under SFAS 87 is being amortised from 1 July 1992 over 11 years, ending 30 June 2003. Where scheme assets are greater than the present obligations relating to members' vested entitlements, the difference is recognised as an asset in accordance with USGAAP.

> (i) In fiscal 2000, there was a difference between the fair market value of scheme assets for AGAAP and USGAAP due to additional contributions payable by us to the TSS. This liability is no longer payable by us, and a specific revenue item has been recognised in fiscal 2001 under AGAAP (refer note 3(c)). This has been adjusted for in the USGAAP reconciliation. For the purposes of SFAS 87, there is $Nil AGAAP/USGAAP difference for the scheme assets as at 30 June 2002 (2001: $Nil; 2000: $725 million difference).

> 
> 30(g) Employee entitlements - Long Service LeaveOur employee entitlement provisions include a liability for long service leave. Refer to note 1.18 (a) for a definition of long service leave.  The assumptions used to calculate this liability for AGAAP are consistent with those used under SFAS 87 for USGAAP.
> 
> 30(h) Enterprise bargaining agreementsFiscal 2002 was a year of consolidation on the industrial front as we implemented the flexibilities and frameworks that the separate Business Unit Enterprise Agreements provided.  In addition, the Agreements provide improved operating efficiencies for both management and staff and provide a firm basis for future negotiations.
> 
> 
> As provided for in the Agreements the vast majority of staff covered by these Agreements received a 4% salary increase in December 2001.
> 
> 
> These agreements are due to expire in December 2002 and discussions are under way with the relevant staff associations to negotiate new agreements to replace the current ones.  As at 30 June 2002 approximately 57% of full time staff were covered by the Business Unit Enterprise Agreements and the Telstra Shop Agreement.

> 30(i) Software assets developed for internal useUnder AGAAP, before 1 July 1996, we did not record costs associated with software developed for internal use as software assets.  From 1 July 1996, we recorded costs (including borrowing costs) associated with software developed for internal use as software assets.  This policy is now the same as USGAAP.  These costs include direct labour (both internal and external) and other directly associated costs.
> 
> 
> To reflect the current policy as if it had always been in place for USGAAP purposes before 1 July 1996 in the reconciliations of net income and shareholders' equity to USGAAP, we originally recorded $1,370 million as software assets and accumulated amortisation of $732 million. These assets have been fully amortised and/or disposed of in full during fiscal 2001, therefore there are no further reconciling items included in the reconciliation of net income for fiscal 2002 (2001: $25 million; 2000: $81 million).
> 
> 30(j) Revenue recognition - cumulative adjustment
> On 3 December 1999, the United States Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) released "Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 101 - Revenue Recognition", (SAB 101), which provides guidance on our recognition, presentation and disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC.  This guidance was adopted in fiscal 2001 in our AGAAP financial statements, refer to note 1.2 for a description of the initial impact of the change in the accounting policy and note 1.19 for revenue accounting policies.
> 
> 
> In fiscal 2001, there were no differences in total net income between AGAAP and USGAAP other than a reclassification of the cumulative effect on adoption of SAB 101 from sales revenue and direct cost of sales to the cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, net of tax. In future years there will be no further differences between USGAAP and AGAAP as we have aligned AGAAP revenue recognition policies to accord with US requirements. The effect on fiscal 2000 restated net income after tax was not significant.
> 
> 30(k) Mobile phone subsidies
> Under AGAAP, from 1 July 1999, we changed our accounting policy relating to subsidies provided to our customers when they purchase mobile phones. From this date, we deferred the subsidy provided to customers who enter into mobile phone contracts with a length of two years or greater. This policy was considered to be inconsistent with industry practice in the United States and hence $174 million of revenue was deferred over two years in fiscal 2000.
> 
> 
> Due to changes in industry practice in the United States, this policy is now consistent with USGAAP from fiscal 2001. The amounts recognised in the USGAAP reconciliation of shareholders equity in fiscal 2000 have now been fully reversed in fiscal 2002. From 1 July 2002 there will be no further adjustments.
> 
> 30(l) Income taxUnder AGAAP, timing differences are recorded in the statement of financial position as deferred tax assets and liabilities using the liability method of tax effect accounting.  Future income tax benefits relating to tax losses and timing differences are not recorded as an asset unless the benefit is considered virtually certain of being realised.
> 
> 
> Under USGAAP, deferred tax assets and liabilities are created for all temporary differences between the accounting and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will reverse during future taxable periods, including tax losses.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of the deferred tax asset, will not be realised.  We increase or decrease our deferred tax balances for the income tax effect of accounting differences included in our reconciliations of net income and shareholders' equity to USGAAP.
> 
> 
> AGAAP requires the effect of a change in the income tax rate to be included in the calculation of deferred tax balances when the change has been announced by the Treasurer of the Commonwealth.  USGAAP requires the tax rate change to be recognised in the year that the Australian Parliament has approved the legislation and it has received royal assent from the Governor General of Australia (Head of State).
> 
> 
> For AGAAP, we classify all deferred tax balances as non current.  For USGAAP, the classification between current and non current is based on the statement of financial position classification of the underlying net current and non current asset or liability.  Where there is no underlying asset or liability the classification is based on when the temporary difference is expected to reverse.  The effect of this has been disclosed in the statement of financial position measured and classified per USGAAP.
> 
> 
> Under AGAAP and USGAAP we do not create deferred tax assets or liabilities for temporary differences relating to investments where there is no intention of disposing of the investment or where we are incapable of realising any benefit or incurring any obligations due to tax law restrictions.

AGAAP does not require certain employee compensation and option expenses to be recorded in the statement of financial performance for our employee share plans.
> 
> 
> Under USGAAP, we have adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.123 (SFAS 123) "Accounting for Stock Based Compensation," which utilises the fair value method. Under this method, compensation expense is calculated based on the fair value of options on the date of grant and recognised over the associated service period, which is usually the vesting period. USGAAP requires that shares issued under TESOP 97 and TESOP 99 in conjunction with non-recourse loans be accounted for as options.  In addition options, restricted shares and performance rights issued under the Telstra Growthshare executive compensation scheme are also accounted for as options in accordance with SFAS 123.
> 
> 
> In fiscal 2002, the additional compensation expense as calculated under USGAAP of $41 million (2001: $9 million; 2000: $66 million) is included in the reconciliation of net income and a life to date expense of $333 million is recorded as additional paid in capital in total shareholders equity for USGAAP.  The outstanding balance of the loans for TESOP 97 and TESOP 99 provided to the employees is deducted from shareholders' equity rather than classified as a receivable.  The Telstra Growthshare trust loan is not reclassified as it is not linked to non-recourse loans.
> 
> 
> There is no income tax effect on the additional compensation expense for USGAAP as it is a permanent difference (non taxable) for TESOP 97, TESOP 99 and Growthshare schemes.
>

> Options allocated to employees under the TESOP schemes all vest immediately upon grant and will expire at the earlier of repayment of the loan balance or the termination of employment.  For fiscal 2000 and 1999, these options were dilutive for USGAAP earnings per share calculations.  Employee compensation expense has been recognised on inception of the TESOP 97 scheme (fiscal 1998 and subsequent loyalty share issues) and TESOP 99 scheme (fiscal 2000 and subsequent loyalty share issues).  Dividends on both TESOP schemes are not recorded as further compensation expense as their forecasted value was included when calculating  the initial option valuations.
> 
> 
> For fiscal 2002 and 2001, only the TESOP 97 options are dilutive for the USGAAP EPS calculation as the exercise price of the TESOP 99 options was above the average Telstra share price.   For fiscal 2000 both TESOP 97 and 99 options were dilutive.

The amount charged for income tax expense was $175 million with a net amount after tax of $311 million. We satisfied the AGAAP requirements for recording this provision. However, under USGAAP, we did not meet the stricter requirements imposed on us to be able to record the provision. In fiscal 2002, this provision has now been fully utilised.   Therefore, we reversed the AGAAP provision in the reconciliation of shareholders' equity to USGAAP for fiscal 2001 and 2000 and recognised the movement in this provision in fiscal 2002 as an expense in the reconciliation to net income of $94 million (2001:$392 million).Redundancy and restructuring disclosures for fiscal 1997 program
> The disclosures required by USGAAP for the redundancy and restructuring provision recorded by us are as follows:
> 
> 
> In fiscal 1997, we approved a plan to reduce the number of employees by approximately 25,500 to approximately 51,000 employees by 30 June 2000.  In June 1998, we also approved a three year plan, to 30 June 2001, which included an additional reduction of approximately 2,000 employees by redundancy.  We effected the reduction in employees through a combination of natural attrition and outsourcing (approximately 6,700 employees) and voluntary redundancy offers and involuntary terminations (approximately 20,800 employees).  Reductions have occurred primarily in sales and service areas, communication assets, broadband rollout construction areas and field operations and maintenance staff.
> 
> 
> The total estimated cost of the fiscal 1997 redundancy program was $1,320 million including estimated severance and award payments of $1,043 million and estimated career and transition costs of $277 million.  There have been no costs credited to the profit and loss which are no longer required.
> 
> 
> Career transition costs include payments to employees who are in the outplacement process and amounts paid to third parties for the outplacement program.
> 
> 
> In future periods, the expected number of 80 redundancies and payments of $3 million still remains as a provision balance.  For fiscal 2002, staff unrelated to the 1997 program were made redundant and their costs were charged as an expense.

> 30(o) Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
> Our risk management policies and objectives of entering into derivative financial instruments have been disclosed in note 29, "Additional financial instrument disclosures."
> 
> 
> In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities" (SFAS 133), as amended by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities". SFAS 133 requires us to recognise all of our derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value (ie. gains or losses) of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship. For those derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, we must designate the hedging instrument, based upon the exposure being hedged, as a fair value hedge, cash flow hedge or a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation.
> 
> Notes to the reconciliations to financial reports prepared using USGAAP (continued)30(o) Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities (continued)
> For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a fair value hedge (ie. hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability or an identified portion thereof that is attributable to a particular risk), the gain or loss on the derivative instrument, as well as the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognised in net income during the period of the change in fair values. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge (ie. hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income and reclassified into net income in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects net income. The remaining gain or loss on the derivative instrument in excess of the cumulative change in the present value of future cash flows of the hedged item, if any, is recognised in net income during the period of change. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a hedge of a net investment in a foreign currency, the gain or loss is that reported in other comprehensive income as part of the cumulative translation adjustment to the extent it is effective.  For derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments, the gain or loss is recognised in  net income during the period of change.
> 
> 
> Effective 1 July 2000, we adopted SFAS 133 in the reconciliations to financial reports prepared using USGAAP. On adoption we recognised, as a cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, a charge of $27 million, before tax, in the statement of financial performance measured and classified per USGAAP and a charge of $47 million, before tax, in other comprehensive income. The basis of accounting for the adjustments made on adoption, in either the statement of financial performance or other comprehensive income, is dependent upon the hedging relationships that existed for the particular derivative instrument prior to adoption.
> 
> 
> We enter into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge certain firm commitments denominated in foreign currencies relating to our capital expenditure programs. Under AGAAP, realised gains and losses on termination of these hedges are recognised as a net cost of the equipment acquired.

> 
> 
> 
> 
> 
> 
> 
> We are not able to identify specific forward foreign exchange contracts with specific capital expenditure contracts to meet the designation criteria in SFAS 133.  As a result, changes in fair value of the forward foreign exchange contracts are required to be recognised in net income for USGAAP purposes. We have recorded a marked to market loss of $11 million in other income per USGAAP for the forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding at 30 June 2002 (2001:$4 million gain).   We also recorded an additional adjustment of $1 million, net of tax, as an expense in other income per USGAAP to reverse net realised foreign exchange losses capitalised in property, plant and equipment in fiscal 2000 under AGAAP (2001:$14 million gain).
> 
> 
> We enter into interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to interest rate risk relating to our outstanding short-term commercial paper. SFAS 133 does not allow us to consider the interest rate swaps used to manage our interest rate exposure as hedges.  As a result, changes in the fair values of these interest rate swaps are required to be included in the reconciliation of net income to USGAAP.  We have recorded a marked to market gain of $17 million, before tax, as an expense in other income per USGAAP for changes in fair value of interest rate swap contracts outstanding at 30 June 2002 (2001:$77 million loss).
> 
> 
> We enter into cross currency interest rate swaps to hedge our exposure to the risk of overall changes in fair value relating to interest rate and foreign currency risk of our foreign currency borrowings. During fiscal 2002 and 2001, the ineffective portion of our hedging instruments (inclusive of the time value of money) was insignificant.
> 
> 
> During the year ended 30 June 2002, we reclassified $15 million of losses, net of tax, from accumulated other comprehensive income to other income (2001:$15 million).   At 30 June 2002, we estimate that during the next twelve months we will recognise losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the reconciliation of net income to USGAAP of approximately $15 million (2001:$15 million) related to the repayment of borrowings that have been hedged by interest rate and cross currency swaps in cash flow hedging relationships prior to adoption of SFAS 133.

> In November 2001, the underlying debt of TesltraClear was restructured and effectively cancelled and replaced with a new credit facility.  The swap contracts were not restructured.  As a result, the transition adjustment has been amortised over the maturity schedule of the restructured debt (to June 2002), resulting in amortisation for fiscal 2002 of $3 million.

> PCCW Convertible Note
> 
> 
> As a part of our strategic alliance with PCCW, we purchased a US$750 million convertible note issued by PCCW in February 2001. The terms and maturity dates of the note are disclosed in note 9(d) Receivables. This convertible note was convertible at our option into PCCW common stock at a conversion price of HK$6.886 per share.  This note was redeemed on 28 June 2002 in consideration for the remaining 40% interest in RWC and a new convertible note with a face value of US$190 million.  The terms of this note are also described in note 9(d).
> 
> 
> Under AGAAP, the initial values of the convertible notes are recorded at face value in other non-current receivables.  The old convertible note was, and the newly issued note will, continue to be carried at the face value, adjusted for accrued interest and any provision for permanent diminution considered necessary.  Any foreign exchange gains and losses on translation of the convertible note to A$ are recorded in the statement of financial performance in operating expenses.
> 
> 
> Our conversion option contained in the original note was classified as an embedded derivative under SFAS 133 as its underlying risk, relating to changes in the value of PCCW common stock, was not clearly and closely related to changes in the underlying risk of the note, namely changes in interest rates. The note portion of the instrument was classified as an available-for-sale security (refer note 30(b)) with changes in fair value being recorded in other comprehensive income. The fair value of the option in the original note was written off in full before redemption and we recorded a loss for fiscal 2002 of $10 million in the reconciliation of net income to USGAAP as a result of the change in fair value of the option (2001:$63 million).
> 
> 
> The newly issued note is also classified as an available-for-sale security and is disclosed in note 30(b).
> 
> 30(p) Sale of Global Wholesale Business to Reach LimitedIn fiscal 2001, as a part of the strategic alliance with PCCW, a joint venture entity, Reach Limited, was formed through the combination of our international wholesale business and certain other wholesale assets together with certain PCCW assets. Under AGAAP, the investment in the joint venture entity was recognised at its cost of acquisition, being the fair value of the assets transferred net of cash received and including acquisition costs. The gain on sale of the Global Wholesale Business, measured as the difference between the cost of the investment and the net book values of the net assets transferred, was deferred to the extent of our ownership interest retained in the joint venture entity, in this case being 50%.
> 
> 
> For USGAAP purposes, the investment in joint venture entities should be recorded at the net book value of the assets and liabilities transferred, reduced by the amount of any cash received by the investor. Where the resultant investment carrying value would be a negative amount, the excess credit is recognised as an adjustment to the amount of goodwill on other components of the interdependent transactions - in this case a reduction of $30 million on the RWC goodwill (refer note 30(r)).  Also, for USGAAP, there were differences in the fair valuation of the net assets.  These related to pre-1996 capitalised interest, assembled work force and other fair value adjustments.
> 
> 
> The effect of these differences reduces shareholders' equity under USGAAP by $882 million as at 30 June 2002 (2001:$882 million).  In fiscal 2001, this adjustment reduced the reconciliation of net income to USGAAP by $882 million.
> 
> 30(q) Equity accounting adjustment for Reach Limited
> USGAAP adjustments made on the sale of the Global Wholesale Business to Reach in 30 (p) above, will result in ongoing differences in the reconciliations of net income and shareholders' equity to USGAAP.
> 
> 
> For AGAAP, 50% of the profit after tax has been deferred and accounted for in the investment carrying value. The deferred gain will be recognised in the statement of financial performance on a straight line basis over a period of 20 years.  For fiscal 2002, this adjustment was $44 million and has been reversed for USGAAP (2001: $18 million).
> 
> 
> For USGAAP equity accounting, there is also a calculation of notional negative goodwill at inception that is required to be amortised over the life of the investment. This notional goodwill is determined by comparing the investment carrying value to 50% of the net assets/(liabilities) of the Reach joint venture. This amount, similar to AGAAP, is not separately recognised in the statement of financial position, however, it is included in the investment carrying amount.  This notional goodwill is lower for USGAAP which results in a net increase in the net income attributed to equity accounted results.  There is also depreciation and amortisation adjustments for the USGAAP fair asset values described in 30(p) above.
> 
> 
> In fiscal 2002, there is also a difference due to the adoption of FAS 133 for Reach.  Our share of the FAS 133 accumulated other comprehensive loss has decreased the investment value in 2002 by $12 million.  The total net adjustment in the reconciliation of net income to USGAAP in fiscal 2002 for all of these differences is an increase of $36 million (2001: $17 million).   The total net adjustment included in the reconciliation of shareholders' equity to USGAAP is $41 million (2001:$17 million).
> 
> Notes to the reconciliations to financial reports prepared using USGAAP (continued)30(r) Consolidation adjustment for Regional Wireless Company (RWC)
> There are several adjustments that need to be made for the consolidation of RWC for USGAAP purposes.
> 
> 
> For AGAAP, gains/losses on a hedge for the purchase of RWC are included in the cost of the acquisition, thereby effecting the determination of goodwill. For USGAAP, gains/losses on hedges of a purchase business combination are recognised in net income. Accordingly, in fiscal 2001, hedging losses of $30 million that were included in the cost of acquisition of RWC for AGAAP, have been recognised in the net income under USGAAP.
> 
> 
> For AGAAP, purchase price allocations in an acquisition accounted for as a business combination are not tax effected. The tax effect of bases differences arising from purchase price allocations (fair value adjustments) will be recognised in net income as those basis differences reverse. For USGAAP, such bases differences are treated as temporary differences and tax-effected as part of the acquisition accounting.
> 
> 
> For AGAAP, acquisition costs of $999 million were written off on acquisition of RWC in January 2001. USGAAP generally does not allow such a write off, unless they can be supported by an analysis of the undiscounted cash flows of the entity. As a result of an analysis of undiscounted cash flows relating to RWC, a goodwill write off is not supportable under USGAAP in fiscal 2002 and 2001. Accordingly, in fiscal 2001 the goodwill write off was reversed in the reconciliation of net income to USGAAP and is carried forward as a difference in the reconciliation of shareholders' equity to USGAAP.  This amount continues to be amortised accordingly in fiscal 2002.
> 
> 
> Goodwill under AGAAP is translated at its historical foreign currency translation rate as the goodwill arises in $A. Under USGAAP, using the current rate method, goodwill is translated at the spot rate at year end.  Amortisation of goodwill is translated using the weighted average rate.  Adjustments have been made to restate amortisation at the weighted average exchange rate and to adjust the ending goodwill balance for fluctuations in the Hong Kong dollar, being RWC's functional currency.
> 
> 
> The differences above result in a different goodwill amortisation amount recognised for USGAAP.  For fiscal 2002, the net adjustment to goodwill amortisation expense was $52 million (2001: $23 million).

> 30(s) Fair Value and General Reserve adjustments
> 
> 
> In AGAAP, when we acquire a controlled entity, we are required to restate the net identifiable assets of that controlled entity to fair value. To the extent we have an equity accounted ownership interest in the company prior to consolidation, we are required to recognise our share of the reserve created on consolidation. In USGAAP, this fair value adjustment is offset against goodwill on consolidation. For fiscal 2002, the adjustment to the reconciliation to shareholders equity was $54 million.
> 
> 
> In AGAAP the effect of dilutions of ownership due to equity transactions conducted by third parties are recorded in a reserve. In USGAAP, this is treated a sale of ownership interest and taken to net income. In fiscal 2002, the adjustment to net income was $19 million loss.
> 
> 
> In AGAAP we have a share of an associated entity's general reserve credit of $2 million.  For USGAAP purposes this reserve has been transferred to the foreign currency translation reserve.

> 
> A number of new accounting standards have been issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) that have not yet been adopted for AGAAP.  A summary of these new standards appears in note 1.3.

> AASB 1044 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets" requires dividends only to be provided for in the fiscal year they are declared.

Although conceptually AASB 1020 will bring AGAAP in closer alignment with USGAAP, management have not yet determined the impact the adoption of AASB 1020 will have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.  Refer to Note 1.3 for a summary of the AGAAP changes.

> On 29 June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (SFAS 141) "Business Combinations" and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142) "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets", effective for fiscal years beginning after 15 December 2001.
> 
> 
> SFAS 141 eliminates the pooling-of-interests method of accounting for business combinations, except for qualifying business combinations that were initiated prior to 1 July 2001, and changes the criteria to recognise intangible assets apart from goodwill. SFAS 141 is effective for any business combinations' accounted for by the purchase method that is completed after 30 June 2001.
> 
> 
> Under SFAS 142, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are no longer amortised but are tested annually, or more frequently if impairment indicators arise, for impairment. Separable intangible assets that have finite lives will continue to be amortised over their useful lives with no imposed time limit.
> 
> 
> For goodwill and intangible assets acquired prior to 1 July 2001, amortisation will continue to be recognised for the reconciliation to USGAAP until we are required to adopt SFAS 142 on 1 July 2002.
> 
> 
> We are not required to amortise goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets acquired after 30 June 2001, and the impairment provisions of SFAS 142 only apply to these assets upon adoption of SFAS 142 on 1 July 2002.
> 
> 
> Goodwill will be required to be tested for impairment at a "reporting unit" level using a two-step approach. Initially an "implied" fair value of goodwill is calculated by comparing the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value and then goodwill impairment is recorded if the reporting unit's goodwill carrying value exceeds the implied fair value of goodwill.  More frequent testing will need to be undertaken between the annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value.  An indefinite lived intangible asset is required to be tested for impairment between the annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change indicating the asset might be impaired.

> The impact of adoption of SFAS 141 and SFAS 142 on the reconciliation of net income will be an increase to net income by  goodwill expense measured and reported under USGAAP by approximately $139 million for controlled entities and approximately $41 million for joint venture entities each year.  This is based on the fiscal 2002 goodwill amortisation expense and has not taken into account the additional 40% acquisition of RWC.
> 
> 
> Management have assessed the impact on adoption relating to the performance of the annual impairment tests for goodwill and believe that an impairment will exist for the RWC goodwill that was previously written off on acquisition under AGAAP but reversed under USGAAP.  Refer note 30(r).  Apart from this adjustment, there are no other impairments expected to be recorded on the adoption of SFAS 141/142.

> In July 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146 (SFAS 146) "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities", effective for fiscal years beginning after 31 December 2002. SFAS 146 requires that a liability for a cost that is associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognised when the liability is incurred.  In SFAS 146, the FASB acknowledges that an entity's commitment to a plan does not, by itself, create a present obligation to other parties that meets the definition of a liability.  SFAS 146 also establishes that fair value is the objective for the initial measurement of the liability.  Management have not yet determined the effect, if any, the adoption of SFAS 146 will have on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
