- FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
(A) Nature of activities and management policies with respect to financial instruments.
(i) The company incurs credit risk from transactions with trade debtors and financial institutions in the normal course of business. At balance date the company had a significant concentration of credit risk relating to the amount receivable from Electricity Retailers. The company has a programme to manage this risk concentration, including monitoring the credit status of the major debtor, adhering to specific credit policy requirements and having the contractual ability to require security to be provided by these customers under certain circumstances.
The maximum estimated credit exposure in respect of trade debts is:
- Total asset class - $2.4 million (2005: $2.6 million)
- Debts subject to significant debt concentration risk - $1.7 million (2005: $1.8 million)
The company does not generally require collateral or security to support financial instruments other than as outlined above, due to the quality of the financial institutions dealt with.
(ii) The company does not generally undertake any transactions denominated in foreign currencies apart from the purchase of distribution system equipment and does not hold any long term borrowings.
(B) Fair Values
Cash and Liquid Deposits, Short and Long Term Loans, Accounts Payable and Receivable.
The carrying value of these items is equivalent to their fair value.
