Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) was established by Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (“Brookfield”) as its primary vehicle to own and operate certain infrastructure assets on a global basis. The Partnership, through its related entities, operates high quality, long-life assets that generate stable cash flows, require relatively minimal maintenance capital expenditures and, by virtue of barriers to entry and other characteristics, tend to appreciate in value over time. Its current business consists of the ownership and operation of premier electricity transmission systems, timberlands and social infrastructure in North and South America, the United Kingdom and Australia and it seeks acquisition opportunities in other infrastructure sectors with similar attributes.

 

The Partnership’s sole material asset is its 59% limited partnership interest in Brookfield Infrastructure L.P. (“Brookfield Infrastructure”), which is accounted for using the equity method. As a result, we believe the financial statements of Brookfield Infrastructure are more relevant than the Partnership’s because they present the financial position and results of the Partnership’s underlying operations in greater detail. Brookfield and its affiliates own the remaining 41% of Brookfield Infrastructure, which through a redemption exchange mechanism can be converted into an equivalent interest in the Partnership.

NOTES TO INTERIM CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — UNAUDITED

 

For the period from January 1, 2010 to September 30, 2010.

 

1.              ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

 

Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. (the “Partnership” or “BIP”) was formed as a limited partnership established under the laws of Bermuda, pursuant to a limited partnership agreement dated May 21, 2007 as amended and restated. BIP holds a 59% interest in Brookfield Infrastructure L.P. (“Brookfield Infrastructure”). Brookfield Infrastructure L.P. was formed as a limited partnership established under the laws of Bermuda, pursuant to a limited partnership agreement dated May 17, 2007 as amended and restated. Brookfield Infrastructure consists of interests in utilities, energy and transport and timber operations in North and South America, Australasia and Europe.

 

Because BIP does not hold a controlling interest in Brookfield Infrastructure, as defined by IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements or SIC-12 Special Purpose Entities, BIP does not consolidate the results of operations, assets or liabilities of Brookfield Infrastructure. The consolidated financial statements of Brookfield Infrastructure should be read in conjunction with BIP’s financial statements.

 

2.              SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICES

 

These interim condensed financial statements of the Partnership have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and using the accounting policies the Partnership expects to adopt in its financial statements as at and for the year ending December 31, 2010. The accounting policies the Partnership expects to adopt in its financial statements as at and for the year ending December 31, 2010 are disclosed in Note 2 of the Partnership’s interim financial statements as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2010, with which reference should be made to in reading these interim condensed financial statements.

 

As these interim condensed financial statements are prepared using International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), certain disclosures that are required to be included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS that were not included in the Partnership’s most recent annual financial statements, prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”), were included in the Partnership’s interim condensed financial statements as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

 

These interim condensed financial statements, should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s 2009 annual financial statements and in consideration of the IFRS transition disclosures included in Note 3 to these statements and the additional annual disclosures included therein, and the Partnership’s interim condensed financial statements, as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

 

These interim condensed financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the Partnership on November 2, 2010.

 

All figures are presented in millions of United States dollars unless otherwise noted.

 

3.              TRANSITION TO IFRS

 

The Partnership has adopted IFRS effective January 1, 2010. Prior to the adoption of IFRS the Partnership prepared its financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Partnership’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2010 will be the first annual financial statements that comply with IFRS. Accordingly, the Partnership will make an unreserved statement of compliance with IFRS beginning with its 2010 annual financial statements. The Partnership’s transition date is January 1, 2009 (the “transition date”) and the Partnership has prepared its opening IFRS balance sheet at that date. These interim condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in Note 2 of the Partnership’s interim condensed financial statements, as at and for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

 

8



 

The Partnership will ultimately prepare its opening balance sheet by applying existing IFRS with an effective date of December 31, 2010 or prior. Accordingly, subsequent changes to IFRS may impact the policies used to prepare the financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2010 which may differ from these financial statements.

 

Brookfield Infrastructure, the sole investment of the Partnership, has converted to IFRS on the same basis, with the same elections and the same transition date as Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P.

 

(a) Elected Exemptions From Full Retrospective Application

 

In preparing these interim condensed financial statements in accordance with IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS 1”), the Partnership has applied certain of the optional exemptions from full retrospective application of IFRS. The optional exemptions applied are described below.

 

(i) Cumulative translation differences

The Partnership has elected to set the previously accumulated cumulative translation account, which is included in accumulated other comprehensive income, to zero at January 1, 2009. This exemption has been applied to all subsidiaries of Brookfield Infrastructure.

 

(ii) Business combinations

The Partnership has elected to apply the business combinations exemption in IFRS 1. Accordingly, it has not restated business combinations that took place prior to the January 1, 2009 IFRS transition date.

 

(b) Mandatory Exceptions To Retrospective Application

 

In preparing these interim condensed financial statements in accordance with IFRS 1 the Partnership has applied certain mandatory exceptions from full retrospective application of IFRS. The mandatory exceptions applied from full retrospective application of IFRS are described below.

 

(i) Estimates

Hindsight was not used to create or revise estimates and accordingly the estimates previously made by the Partnership under U.S. GAAP are consistent with their application under IFRS.

 

(ii) Hedge Accounting

Only hedging relationships that satisfied the hedge accounting criteria as of the transition date are reflected as hedges in the Partnership’s results under IFRS. Any derivatives not meeting the IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement criteria for hedge accounting were recorded as a non-hedging derivative financial instrument.

 

(c) Reconciliation of Partnership capital as reported under U.S. GAAP and IFRS

 

The following is a reconciliation of the Partnership’s capital reported in accordance with U.S. GAAP to its equity in accordance with IFRS at the transition date:

7. ACQUISITIONS

 

On August 23, 2010, we announced that we entered into a definitive merger agreement with Prime Infrastructure whereby Prime securityholders will receive 0.24 BIP units per Prime unit held. Based on BIP’s unit price as at September 30, 2010, the transaction values Prime Infrastructure implicitly at $1.6 billion. Subsequent to quarter end, we announced that we increased the merger consideration to Prime securityholders by A$ 0.20 per security. Upon successful completion of the transaction, Brookfield Infrastructure will increase its ownership of Prime from 40% to 100%. Our current expectation is that the transaction will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2010.
