Cash and cash equivalents held by the Group are short-term bank deposits with an 
original maturity of three months or less. The carrying value of these assets 
approximates their fair value. 
 
 
36. Contingent liabilities 
The Directors have not identified any contingent liabilities at the date of this 
report with the exception of the item disclosed in note 28. 
 
 
37. Events after the balance sheet date 
 
 
Amber Management Limited (Amber), a new, independent company, has entered into a 
conditional agreement with Babcock & Brown Limited (and certain other members of 
the Babcock & Brown group) to acquire the rights to provide advice and 
management services to the Company that were previously supplied by Babcock & 
Brown Investment Management Limited (and certain other members of the Babcock & 
Brown group). The agreement with Babcock & Brown Limited is conditional upon, 
among other things, the approval of the Company and its shareholders to the 
transfers and the Amber group acquiring all necessary regulatory approvals. 
 
 
Further details of the new management structure, along with notice of the 
General Meeting of the Company to consider the necessary shareholder 
resolutions, will be contained in a circular expected to be distributed to 
shareholders in the coming weeks. 
 
 
38. Disclosure - service concession arrangements 
 
 
The Group operates 21 service concession arrangements in the Accommodation, 
Custodial and Transport sectors. The concessions vary on the nature of the asset 
but typically require the construction and operation of an asset during the 
concession period. The concession may require the acquisition or replacement of 
an existing asset or the construction of a new asset. The operation of the 
accommodation based assets normally includes the provision of facilities 
management services like cleaning, catering, caretaking, security, maintenance, 
and lifecycle. At the end of the concession period on the majority of the 
concessions the assets are returned back to the concession provider. However on 
four of the projects the Group has a right to retain the asset. 
 
 
The rights of both the concession provider and concession operator are stated 
within the specific Project Documentation. The standard rights of the provider 
to terminate the project include poor performance and in the event of force 
majeure. The operator's rights to terminate include the failure of the provider 
to make payment under the agreement, a material breach of contract and relevant 
changes of law which would render it impossible for the service company to 
fulfil its requirements 
 
 
The table overleaf sets out the Group's economic interests in PFI concessions. 
All economic interests reflect an investment in the capital of the underlying 
project.
