10. Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments which potentially subject the Company to credit risk principally consist of bank balances and accounts receivable. Generally the Company does not require collateral. Maximum exposure to credit risk is the amount stated in the financial statements and is net of any recognised provision for losses on these financial instruments. An amount of $111,804 (2006: $123,204) is included in Retail’s current liabilities which is the value of consumer deposits held. No other collateral is held on these amounts.

The Company is not exposed to any concentrations of risk or currency risk.

The Company has no bank overdraft facility.

The methods and assumptions used are that the carrying amount in the financial statements reflects the estimated fair value of the financial instruments including receivables, bank and investments and accounts payable.

The Company has long term borrowings which are used to fund ongoing activities.

The Company has arranged a bank guarantee for $388,203 (2006: $335,000) which is required by Vector Ltd to ($335,000) to gain access to their distribution networks and Maui Development Limited ($53,203) for use of the Maui pipeline under the open access agreement.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. This could particularly impact on the cost of borrowing or the return on investments.

The interest rates on the Company’s investments were 7.17% to 7.30% (2006: 6.68% to 7.44%).
