Financial Assets

The fair values of deposits at call and receivables approximate their carrying amounts.

The fair value of floating rate notes is based on discounted cash flows using current interest rates for assets with similar risk profiles.

The fair value of the Individually Managed Fund is the quoted market value at reporting date, adjusted for the transaction costs necessary for realisation.

The fair value of investments in associates is the initial cost of the investment in the associate adjusted for the Corporation’s share of the post-acquisition change in the net assets of the associate.

The fair value of shares in unlisted companies is the Corporation’s proportion of the estimated net asset position of the company.

Financial Liabilities

The fair values of trade creditors, project liabilities and contributions not yet utilised approximate their carrying amounts.

Note 16C - Credit Risk Exposures

The Corporation's maximum exposure to credit risk at reporting date in relation to each class of recognised financial assets is the carrying amount of those assets as indicated in the Balance Sheet.

The Corporation has no significant exposures to any concentrations of credit risk.
