the ability to operate at 94bar in certain areas. The majority of the NTS is laid in rural countryside to reduce risk to
the public and disruption to the pipeline. The balance is laid in suburban areas.

Note 2 – Aegis do not currently release their reserve estimates and as such these are not included in the table.
# SuperStormSandy costs are exclusive of legal expenses.
*Davey claim has recently settled – total incurred will amount to circa $6.5 million including defence costs but as this has not been paid to date it is included herewith.
