β¨ Financial Statements
2952 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE No. 117
The financial instruments which are off-balance sheet comprise interest rate swaps. These are employed for the primary purpose of reducing exposure to fluctuations in interest rates. While these financial instruments are subject to risk that market rates may change subject to acquisition, such changes would generally be offset by opposite effects on the items being hedged. For interest rate swap agreements, the differential to be paid or received is accrued as interest rates change and is recognised as a component of interest expense over the life of the agreement.
(ix) ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The policy on the allocation of inventory has changed from the previous year (see note c (i), above). In 1995, the inventory was allocated in accordance with the Guidelines, that is on the basis of fixed assets. The change has been made to reflect the commercial reality of the situation. All other policies have been applied on bases consistent with those used in prior years.
