✨ Financial Instruments Fair Values

15 FEBRUARY 2008 NEW ZEALAND GAZETTE, No. 25 567

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

The carrying amounts of cash, short term investments, bank overdraft and short term debt are equivalent to their fair value.

The fair value of long term borrowings is estimated based on current market interest rates available to the company for debt of similar maturities.

The fair value of interest rate swaps is estimated based on quoted market prices of those instruments.

Off-balance sheet risk

	2007	2006
	$000	$000
Interest rate swaps (NZD)	26,000	55,000

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of the company’s assets and liabilities will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates.

The company has interest bearing debt which is subject to interest rate variations in the market.

Interest rate swaps are employed to manage interest rate exposure on long term borrowings.

Contracts have been entered into with various counterparties having such credit ratings and in accordance with such dollar limits as set by the board of directors. The company does not require collateral or other security to support financial instruments with credit risk. While the company may be subject to credit losses up to the notional principal or contract amounts in the event of non performance by its counterparties, it does not expect such losses to occur.

For interest rate swaps the cash requirements are limited to interest payable or receivable which is a net receivable amount of $7,791 as at 31 March 2007 ($32,699 receivable in 2006).
