12. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT
FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK
Transactions are conducted in foreign currencies for the purpose of protecting the NZD value of capital expenditure. Forward exchange contracts are used to hedge forecasted foreign currency exposure arising out of the capital expenditure program. Hence at balance date no significant exposure to foreign currency risk exists.
CREDIT RISK
In the normal course of business, there is exposure to credit risks from energy retailers and customers. Credit policies are in place, which are used to manage the exposure to credit risks.
| 2010 CARRYING AMOUNT | 2009 CARRYING AMOUNT | |
|---|---|---|
| $000 | $000 | |
| Trade receivables | 23,117 | 29,821 |
