                  (a) There 
                    is a potential claim related to a disputed contract. The contract 
                    was transferred as part of the sale of the Westrail freight 
                    business on 17 December 2000, but the dispute dates back to 
                    the period when WAGRC was the contractor. The PTA has not 
                    yet received a direct claim under the contract. At this stage, 
                    the extent of the PTAs potential liability cannot be 
                    reliably quantified. 
                  (b) The 
                    PTA has provided an income tax indemnity to Deutsche Bank 
                    concerning the early termination of a rollingstock lease that 
                    cannot be reliably quantified. 
                  (c) The 
                    PTA has provided an income tax indemnity to LUL Nominees concerning 
                    the early termination of a rollingstock lease that cannot 
                    be reliably quantified. 
                  (d) The 
                    PTA has entered into an agreement with the City of Wanneroo 
                    which will require the PTA to pay $3 million to the City of 
                    Wanneroo if the Government of Western Australia approves the 
                    allocation of funds to the PTA to extend the passenger railway 
                    line north of Clarkson.
