NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2007
11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)
There are some concentration of credit exposures with a few large energy retailers and large energy customers. To minimise this risk, credit evaluations on all energy retailers and large energy customers are undertaken and a requirement for a bond or other form of security where deemed necessary is placed.
Cash deposits with a small number of banking institutions are placed and limits are set for the amount deposited with each institution.
The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying value of each financial asset.
| 2007 CARRYING AMOUNT $'000 | 2006 CARRYING AMOUNT $'000 | |
|---|---|---|
| Cash | 48,134 | 3,564 |
| Trade receivables | 16,772 | 5,200 |
LIQUIDITY RISK
Liquidity risk is the risk of encountering difficulty in raising funds at short notice to meet financial commitments as they fall due. In order to reduce the exposure to liquidity risk, access to un-drawn committed lines of credit has been established.
12. CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The directors are aware of claims against entities within the Vector group and, where appropriate, have recognised provisions for these within the financial statements. No material contingencies requiring disclosure have been identified. (30 June 2006: nil).
