borrowings (Level 1) was £17,388m (2013: £20,543m). Where market values were not available, fair value of borrowings (Level 2) was

The assets of the Colonial Gas Company and the Niagara Mohawk Power Corporation and certain gas distribution assets of the
Narragansett Electric Company are subject to liens and other charges and are provided as collateral over borrowings totalling £438m
at31 March 2014 (2013: £512m).
Collateral is placed with or received from any counterparty where we have entered into a credit support annex to the ISDA Master
Agreement once the current mark-to-market valuation of the trades between the parties exceeds an agreed threshold. Included in
current bank loans is £843m (2013: £730m) in respect of cash received under collateral agreements. For further details of our borrowing
facilities, refer to note 31. For further details of our bonds in issue, please refer to the debt investor section of our website.
Assets held under finance leases are recognised at their fair value or, if lower, the present value of the minimum lease payments on
inception. The corresponding liability is recognised as a finance lease obligation within borrowings. Rental payments are apportioned
between finance costs and reduction in the finance lease obligation, so as to achieve a constant rate of interest.
Assets held under finance leases are depreciated over the shorter of their useful life and the lease term.
