22. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the company to credit risk principally consist of bank balances, money market deposits and accounts receivable.
The company performs credit evaluations on all customers and requires a bond from customers who have yet to establish a suitable credit history with the company.
The company monitors the credit quality of the major financial institutions that are counterparties to its off balance sheet financial instruments and does not anticipate non performance by the counterparties.
Maximum exposures to credit risk as at balance date are:
| 1996 | 1995 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Line Activities | Electricity Retailing Activities | Other Activities | |
| $'000 | $'000 | $'000 | |
| Bank Balances | 575 | 30 | 1,318 |
| Accounts receivable | - | 41,796 | 6,452 |
The above maximum exposures are net of any recognised provision for losses on these financial instruments. Collateral in the form of customer bonds totalling $1.378 million is held in respect of the above amounts.
