Notes:
(1) Total Cost of Services
The decrease is mainly due to a reduction in borrowing costs following an interest rate review ($16.6 million).
(2) Net Cost of Services
The variation is primarily due to a reduction in expenses (see Note 1) and an increase in revenue.
(3) Total Equity
The variation is mainly due to an increase in non-current assets.
(4) Net Decrease in Cash Held
The net decrease is mainly due to the advancement of expenditure on capital projects offset by increased provisions for contaminated sites and workers compensation.
(5) Approved Full Time Equivalent
The variation to the approved FTE staff level is mainly due to lower than anticipated recruitment of transit officers. Train security was maintained by use of CCTV and contracted security services.

Note: For more explanations on the variation, please refer to the section Audited Key Performance Indicators.
a) The Prospector on time running result was below target as a result of disruptions in services due to track repairs, speed restrictions, signal failures and train crossing delays due to increased traffic.
b) Category “B’ incidents per million passenger boardings and per million train kilometres were 12.19 per cent and 8.16 per cent lower than target.
c) Regional school bus services notifiable occurrences were 69 per cent above target; 59 per cent of the accident cases occurred through no fault of the school bus driver. No major incidents occurred and no fatalities or serious injuries were recorded.
d) The Transwa rail cost per passenger kilometre in 2011-12 was 12.16 per cent below target mainly due to a deferment in maintenance cost.
