Notes to the Financial Statements

For the year ended 31 March 2009

11. Financial Instruments

Exposure to interest rate, credit, and liquidity risks arise in the normal course of the Trust’s business.

Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of the Trust’s assets and liabilities will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. The Trust is exposed to interest rate risk primarily through its cash balances and investments.

Liquidity and Interest Rate Risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Trust will encounter difficulty in raising funds at short notice to meet its financial commitments as they fall due.

The Trust’s policy for management of liquidity and interest rate risk is to vary the amount and duration of its investments, taking into consideration the grant cycles and operational needs of the Trust. The Trust manages its risk by monitoring investments on an ongoing basis.

The following tables detail the remaining contractual maturity for the Trust’s non derivative financial liabilities. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities based on the earliest date on which the Trust can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows.

Sensitivity Analysis

If interest rates on cash balances and investments moved by +/- 0.5%, the Trust’s income from its cash balances and investments could be higher or lower by $34,558. This sensitivity is based on the average cash balances and investments held at month end throughout the year. There has been no change to the method of calculation from previous periods.
