Review of Operations
Details regarding the results from

No significant change in the nature of the

Takeover Bid for Infratil by Australian
Infrastructure Fund
On 10 April 2000, Australian Infrastructure
Fund (‘AIF’) announced a proposal for the
merger of AIF with Infratil Australia
Limited (‘Infratil’) under which AIF would
acquire five shares in Infratil in return for
the issue of two AIF stapled securities. On
20 June 2000, the AIF was joined by its
sister fund, Utilities Trust of Australia
(‘UTA’) in its takeover offer for Infratil. UTA
supported AIF’s revised offer of $0.95
cash, whereby all Infratil shares acquired
for cash after 20 June 2000 will be held
by AIF on behalf of UTA until UTA held
approximately 24 million Infratil shares.
35
Thereafter, a ratio of approximately 3:1
(UTA:AIF) will be maintained with respect
to Infratil shares. At 30 June 2000, AIF
had a 15.7% interest in Infratil, which
includes 0.47% acceptances under the
cash bid offer.
On 28 July 2000, AIF closed its
takeover offer for Infratil with 98.4%
acceptances. AIF will now move to
compulsory acquire all remaining shares in
Infratil and to delist Infratil from the
Australian and New Zealand Stock
Exchanges. Subsequent to year-end and
up to the date of this report, AIF acquired
(both on market and through acceptances)
an additional 29,042,554 shares in Infratil.
Infratil Australia Limited currently holds a
49.5% shareholding in Airstralia
Development Group (ADG). AIF and
related entities currently hold a 34.4%
shareholding in ADG. WAC is a wholly
owned subsidiary of ADG.
Likely Developments and Expected
Results of Operations
Information on likely developments in the
operations of the economic entity and the
expected results of operations have not
been included in this report because the
directors believe it would be likely to
result in unreasonable prejudice to the
economic entity.

Note 1 Summary of
Significant Accounting Policies
This general purpose financial report has
been prepared in accordance with
Accounting Standards, other authoritative
pronouncements of the Australian Accounting
Standards Board, Urgent Issues Group
Consensus Views and the Corporations
Law. It is prepared in accordance with the
historical cost convention, except for certain
assets which, as noted, are at valuation.
Unless otherwise stated, the accounting
policies adopted are consistent with those
of the previous period. Comparative
information is reclassified where
appropriate to enhance comparability.
a Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated accounts comprise the
accounts of Westralia Airports Corporation
Pty Ltd and all of its controlled entities.
A controlled entity is any entity controlled
by Westralia Airports Corporation Pty Ltd.
Control exists where Westralia Airports
Corporation Pty Ltd has the capacity to
dominate the decision making in relation
to the financial and operating policies of
another entity so that the other entity
operates with Westralia Airports Corporation
Pty Ltd to achieve common objectives.
A list of controlled entities is contained in
note 9 to the accounts.
All inter-company balances and transactions
between the entities in the economic entity,
including any unrealised profit or losses,
have been eliminated on consolidation.
42
b Income Tax
Tax effect accounting procedures are
followed whereby the income tax expense
in the profit and loss account is matched
with the accounting profit after allowing
for permanent differences. The future
income tax benefit relating to tax losses is
not carried forward as an asset unless the
benefit is virtually certain of realisation.
Income tax on cumulative timing
differences is set aside to the deferred
income tax or the future income tax
benefit accounts at the rates which are
expected to apply when those timing
differences reverse.
c Foreign Currency Translation
(i) Transactions
Foreign currency transactions are initially
translated into Australian currency at the
rate of exchange at the date of the
transaction. At balance date, amounts
payable and receivable in foreign
currencies are translated to Australian
currency at rates of exchange current at
that date. Resulting exchange differences
are brought to account in determining the
profit and loss for the year.
(ii) Specific Commitments
Hedging is undertaken to avoid possible
exposure to financial effects of movements
in exchange rates. Gains or losses on
hedging transactions intended to hedge
monetary items are brought to account in
the year in which the exchange rates
change. Gains or costs arising at the time
of entering into such hedging transactions
are brought to account in the profit and
loss statement over the lives of the hedges.
Any receivable or payable at balance date
is netted against foreign currency
borrowings as the timing of closing out
hedge transactions matches the term to
maturity of related borrowings and it is
intended that they will be settled on a
Gross revenue is raised when there is an
unconditional right to receive that revenue
and it can be measured reliably.
e Receivables
All trade debtors are recognised as the
amount receivable as they are due for
settlement no more than 30 days from the
date of recognition.
simultaneous basis.
d Revenue Recognition
i) Aeronautical Revenue
Comprises Landing Fees and International
Terminal charges, based on the maximum
take-off weight (MTOW) of aircraft, and a
security charge for the recovery of charges
imposed by Australian Protective Services.
ii) Commercial Trading
Comprises concessionaire rent and other
charges received including income from
public car parks.
iii) Property Revenue
Comprises income from Company owned
terminals, buildings and other leased areas.
iv) Recharge Property Service costs
Comprises recharged service and
utility expenditure.
v) Interest Revenue
Comprises earnings on funds deposited
with financial institutions to provide for
reserving requirements as part of the
financing documents.
vi) Asset Sales
Comprises revenue on disposal of assets
brought to account at the transaction date.
43
Recoverability of trade debtors is reviewed on
an ongoing basis. Debts, which are known to
be unrecoverable, are written off. A general
provision for doubtful debts is raised together
with a specific provision for debts where
recoverability is deemed to be doubtful.
f Inventories
Inventories have been stated at the lower
of cost and net realisable value. The basis
of accounting for inventories is on a first-in
first-out basis.
g Acquisition of Assets
The cost method of accounting is used for
all acquisitions of assets regardless of
whether shares or other assets are
acquired. Cost is determined as the fair
value of the assets given up at the date of
acquisition plus costs incidental to the
acquisition. Where shares are issued on
acquisition, the value of the shares is
determined by reference to the fair value of
the assets acquired, including goodwill and
other intangible assets where applicable.
The lease franchise fee, arising from the
acquisition of the Perth International
Airport lease, is brought to account on the
basis described in note 1(j)(i).
N OT E S
N OT E S
h Recoverable Amounts
The recoverable amount of an asset is the
net amount expected to be recovered
through the net cash inflows arising from
its continued use and subsequent disposal.
Where the carrying amount of a non-current
asset is greater than its recoverable amount
the asset is revalued to its recoverable
amount. To the extent that a revaluation
decrement reverses a revaluation increment
previously credited to, and still included in the
balance of, the asset revaluation reserve, the
decrement is debited directly to that reserve.
Otherwise the decrement is recognised as an
expense in the profit and loss statement.
The expected net cash flows included in
determining recoverable amounts of noncurrent assets are discounted to their

a Pursuant to its Financing
Documentation, WAC is required
to establish, fund and maintain
the following reserve accounts:
Capex Reserve Account (CRA):
This account was established for the
purpose of partially funding approved
capital expenditure. The account is required
to be funded by equity to the extent of
30% of projected capital expenditure for
the next 3 years. The funding balance of
this account is determined by a bank
appointed independent engineer. Any
excess balance of the reserve, following the
review by the independent engineer, can be
transferred back to the Proceeds Account.
Major O&M Reserve Account:
Major maintenance consists of maintenance
of a non-recurring nature on runways,
taxiways, aprons, roads and terminals.
The balance of the reserve account is
calculated as 30% of the average annual
maintenance expenditure expected to be
incurred over the following 10 year period.

a Valuation of Land
The basis of the valuation of operational
land is at replacement cost on an existing
use basis. The basis of valuation of
investment property is using fair market
value. The valuation was carried out at 2
July 1997 by Mr PJ Logan FAPI and Mr JK
McNamara LFAPI. The Directors do not
consider that there has been a significant
movement in this valuation to balance date.
b Valuation of Runways,
Taxiways and Aprons
During the previous financial year, WAC
undertook an assessment of the fair value
on acquisition, as at 2 July 1997, using a
depreciated replacement value. This
valuation was undertaken by management,
reviewed by an independent consultant
and approved by the Board of Directors.
The increment upon completion of the
assessment adjusts the Lease Franchise Fee
arising upon acquisition. The useful lives of
this class of asset were amended
concurrently resulting in the adjustment to
the profit and loss statement detailed in
Note 2(b).

Bank loans comprise of an interest only
facility whereby the principal is repayable
in full at the end of a 7 year term ending 1
July 2004.
Fixed/floating AUD bonds have a period
to maturity of 20 years ending 1 July
2017. Over the course of the first 11
years a fixed coupon of 4% per annum is
payable to the bondholders. A separate
capitalising component currently set at
5.78% per annum applies during this
period. A floating interest component
applies from the 11th year replacing the
fixed/floating structure. The cumulative
outstanding principal of the bond is
repayable in full at maturity.
USD Bonds have a period to maturity of 12
years ending 1 April 2010. The bonds pay a
fixed semi-annual coupon of 6.48%. Primary
issue of the bonds raised USD150 million.

At issue of the bonds, the economic entity
entered into a cross-currency foreign
currency swap effectively hedging all USD
foreign exchange and interest rate risks
associated with the bond’s coupon payments
and principal repayment at maturity.
The bank debt and both bond facilities are
fully secured over all the assets of WAC,
including a mortgage over the economic
entity’s interest under the Perth
International Airport lease. In addition,
ADG has guaranteed repayment of the
outstanding indebtedness by providing a
charge over its shares in WAC.

Currently, native title claims exist over parts
of Perth International Airport. The Directors
believe that these claims will not have any
adverse impact on the operation or growth
of the airport.
Parts of Perth International Airport (the
Munday Swamp Bushland and Forrestfield
Bushland) have been entered in the Interim
List of the Register of the National Estate
by the Australian Heritage Commission.
The Minister for Transport and Regional
Services may approve development of land
on the Register if he or she is satisfied that
there is no prudent or feasible alternative
to the development.
Fuel Throughput Levy
WAC has recognised revenue of $0.727m
for the year ending 30 June 2000 and
$0.785m cumulatively in respect of a fuel
throughput levy, pursuant to leases it has
with oil companies at Perth International
Airport. The fuel throughput levy was
introduced in June 1999 at the rate of
59
ACCC subsequently recommended to the
Commonwealth Treasurer stricter forms of
price oversight in respect of this charge.
WAC is of the view that it is exercising its
existing contractual rights, enshrined in
the oil company leases in implementing
the fuel throughput levy and does not
accept the findings of the ACCC that the
charge is an abuse of market power.
In September 1999, an independent
expert was appointed by WAC and BP
Australia Limited to adjudicate on a
dispute regarding the basis and amount of
the fuel throughput fee levied by WAC.
The determination by the independent
expert confirmed WAC’s right to apply the
levy, and although the charge of 0.5cents
per litre was found to be within a range of
comparable fees at other airports, a rate
of 0.35cents per litre was determined.
The oil companies are now paying this fee
without qualification.
N OT E S
N OT E S
Since referring the matter to the
Commonwealth Government over 12
months ago, no further action or response
has been made by the Government. WAC
will continue to seek a satisfactory
resolution through further consultation
with the Commonwealth.
Ground Facilities Fee
WAC introduced a fee for ground
transport providers deriving revenue from
airport generated activities in January
1999. The fees payable are $1 per pick-up
for taxi operators and $2 per pick-up for
charter and tour bus operators.
In its Regulatory Report relating to Perth
International Airport issued in December
1999, the ACCC re-affirmed a view it had
expressed previously that revenue derived
from what it described as vehicle access
charges fall under the definition of
‘aeronautical services’ defined in Pricing
Declaration 83, and that, as a result,
revenue derived from these charges should
be included in the aeronautical price cap.
Inclusion of these revenues in the
aeronautical price cap would require
corresponding reductions in aeronautical
charges to achieve the required CPI-x price
reductions. The regulatory framework allows
for over recovery of revenue in any given
year, provided that the revenue amount is
passed back to users within 2 years.
The ACCC identified an over-recovery of
$0.169m for the 1998–99 financial year on
the basis of their interpretation of these
60
fees as being aeronautical. WAC has
recognised a further $0.439m as revenue
in respect to ground facilities fees for the
1999–2000 financial year.
to 2002 inclusive and additional sums
totalling $33,300,000 during the 5 fiscal
years 2003 to 2007. WAC is seeking to
renegotiate these commitments as
provided for under the sale agreement.
WAC has made strong representations to
the ACCC and to the Commonwealth
Government that the ground facilities fees
do not relate to aeronautical services and are
therefore not covered by the price cap.
WAC believes its views are supported by
principles set out in a discussion paper issued
by the Commonwealth Department of
Transport and Regional Services in December
1998 dealing with Ground Access Fees and
the CPI-x Price Cap. WAC is continuing to
seek a satisfactory resolution to this matter
with the Commonwealth Government.

a defined benefit scheme, except where a
person resigns before the minimum age
for a retirement benefit. The contributions

Takeover Bid for Infratil by Australian
Infrastructure Fund
On 10 April 2000, Australian Infrastructure
Fund (‘AIF’) announced a proposal for the
merger of AIF with Infratil Australia Limited
(‘Infratil’) under which AIF would acquire
five shares in Infratil in return for the issue
of two AIF stapled securities. On 20 June
2000, the AIF was joined by its sister fund,
Utilities Trust of Australia (‘UTA’) in its
takeover offer for Infratil. UTA supported
AIF’s revised offer of $0.95 cash, whereby
all Infratil shares acquired for cash after 20
June 2000 will be held by AIF on behalf of
UTA until UTA held approximately 24
million Infratil shares. Thereafter, a ratio of
approximately 3:1 (UTA:AIF) will be
maintained with respect to Infratil shares.
At 30 June 2000, AIF had a 15.7% interest
in Infratil, which includes 0.47%
acceptances under the cash bid offer.
On 28 July 2000, AIF closed its takeover
offer for Infratil with 98.4% acceptances.
AIF will now move to compulsory acquire
all remaining shares in Infratil and to delist
Infratil from the Australian and New
Zealand Stock Exchanges. Subsequent to
year-end and up to the date of this report,
AIF acquired (both on market and through
acceptances) an additional 29,042,554
shares in Infratil.
The directors declare that the financial
statements and notes set out on pages
38 to 64;
(a) comply with Accounting Standards, the
Corporations Law and other mandatory
professional reporting requirements; and
(b) give a true and fair view of the
company’s and consolidated entity’s
financial position as at 30 June 2000
and of their performance, as
represented by the results of their
operations and their cash flows, for the
financial year ended on that date.
In the directors’ opinion:
(a) the financial statements and notes are
in accordance with the Corporations
Law; and
(b) there are reasonable grounds to believe
that the economic entity will be able to
pay its debts as and when they become
due and payable.
This statement is made in accordance with
a resolution of the directors.
