NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

  1. Financial Instruments:
    Financial instruments which potentially subject the company to credit risk principally consist of cash bank balances, short term deposit, and accounts receivable. Northpower does not generally require collateral from customers.

Northpower places its cash and short term deposits with high credit quality financial institutions (A1 or better), and limits the amount of credit exposure to any one institution in accordance with company policy.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument: bank balances, short term deposits and receivables.

The carrying amount is the fair value for each of these classes of financial instrument.

  1. Segment Information:
    Northpower Ltd operates predominantly in the electricity network industry within the Northland area.
    Northpower is also involved in generation and contracting, but neither activity is considered significant.
