THE WAIKATO COMMUNITY TRUST INCORPORATED

NOTES TO AND FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2013


15.4 Liquidity Risk Management

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Trust will encounter difficulty raising liquid funds to meet commitments as they fall due. Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash and the ability to close out market positions. In meeting its liquidity requirements, the Trust maintains a level of investments that can be converted into cash at short notice.

The Trust financial liabilities comprise accounts payable and accruals, unconditional unpaid donations and derivative financial instruments. At balance date, all accounts payable and donations payable were current and are normally settled within one month of balance date. Derivative Financial Instruments represent forward exchange contracts used to manage foreign currency exposure. Any liability regarding these will normally be settled within two months of balance date.

15.5 Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following table analyses Financial Instruments carried at fair value by valuation method. The different levels have been defined in Note 3.9.2.
