The Company is still working through the final claim and still expects final settlement to be between $1.25 million and $1.5 million. $750,000 of this amount has previously been received.
18 Commitments
There were no capital commitments not provided for at year end. The figure for 2001 was also nil.
19 Financial instruments
Credit risk
Financial assets which potentially subject the Company to a credit risk principally consist of bank balances and accounts receivable. The maximum credit risk is the book value of these financial instruments however, the Company considers the risk of non recovery of these amounts to be minimal.
Bank balances and investments in short term deposits are made with registered banks with satisfactory credit ratings. Exposure with any one financial institution is restricted in accordance with company policy.
Currency risk
The Company has no material exposure to currency risk.
Interest risk
The interest rate risk is limited to bank borrowings. The Company has a policy of hedging interest rates and has hedges covering $18 million of borrowings for periods between two and five years at less than 7.5%.
Fair Values
The carrying value of cash and bank deposits, accounts receivable and accounts payable is equivalent to their fair value.
