7. Financial Instruments
Interest Rate Risk
There is no interest rate risk as NGC does not hold any interest bearing assets or liabilities.
Credit Risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject NGC to credit risk consist principally of cash deposits and trade debtors.
NGC places its cash deposits with a small number of banking institutions and limits the amount deposited. The credit limits based on credit quality are approved by the Board of Directors.
NGC completes credit evaluations on customers where possible and requires a bond to be paid when customers cannot demonstrate an adequate credit history.
NGC does not have any significant concentration of credit risk.
Foreign Currency Risk
NGC undertakes transactions denominated in foreign currencies from time to time resulting in exposures in foreign currencies. Other NGC Group companies manage these exposures where it is their policy to hedge foreign exchange currency risks as they arise.
Fair Values
The carrying value of cash at bank, other investments and trade creditors is equivalent to their fair value.
