Note 34 – Transco plc additional US GAAP disclosures
The following condensed consolidating financial information, comprising income statements, balance sheets and cash flow statements, is given in respect of Transco plc (‘Subsidiary Guarantor’), which became joint full and unconditional guarantor on 11 May 2004 with National Grid Transco plc (‘Parent Guarantor’) of the 6.625% Guaranteed Notes due 2018 issued in June 1998 by British Transco Finance Inc. (then known as British Gas Finance Inc.) (‘Issuer of notes’). Transco plc and British Transco Finance Inc. are wholly-owned subsidiaries of National Grid Transco plc.
The following financial information for National Grid Transco plc, Transco plc and British Transco Finance Inc. on a condensed consolidating basis is intended to provide investors with meaningful and comparable financial information and is provided pursuant to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X in lieu of the separate financial statements of each subsidiary issuer of public debt securities.
Summary income statements are presented, on a consolidating basis, for the three years ended 31 March 2005. Summary income statements of National Grid Transco plc and Transco plc are presented under UK and US GAAP measurement principles, as modified by the inclusion of the results of subsidiary undertakings on the basis of equity accounting principles.
The summary balance sheets of National Grid Transco plc and Transco plc include the investments in subsidiaries recorded under the equity method for the purposes of presenting condensed consolidating financial information under UK and US GAAP. The UK GAAP balance sheet presents these investments as ‘Net assets/(liabilities) of subsidiaries (equity accounted)’. The US GAAP summary balance sheet presents these investments within ‘Investments’.
The consolidation adjustments column includes the necessary amounts to eliminate the inter-company balances and transactions between National Grid Transco plc, Transco plc, British Transco Finance Inc. and other subsidiaries.
Transco plc and British Transco Finance Inc. were treated as acquired (as part of the business combination with Lattice Group plc) under US GAAP. As a consequence, under US GAAP, their results only feature in the following tables for the period after acquisition on 21 October 2002.
