30. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RELATED DISCLOSURES

30.1. Concentration of credit risk and credit exposures of the financial instruments. Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the other party to incur a financial loss. Out of total financial assets of Rs (thousands) 89,930 (2003: Rs (thousands) 97,224), the financial assets which are subject to credit risk amounted to Rs (thousands) 30,121 (2003: Rs (thousands) 57,603).

Concentration of credit risk may arise from exposure to a single debtor or to a group of debtors having similar characteristics such that their ability to meet their obligations is effected similarly by changes in economic or other conditions.

Although the company operates mainly in the consumer industry but the management believes that it is not exposed to significant concentration of credit risk. The management limits its credit risk by an aggressive policy for approval of credit limits and by ensuring that the sales are made to customers with an appropriate credit history.

30.2. FOREIGN EXCHANGE RISK MANAGEMENT

Foreign currency risk arises mainly where receivables and payables exist due to sale and purchase transactions with foreign undertakings. Payables exposed to foreign currency risks are identified as either 'Creditors' or "Bills payable" and receivables exposed to foreign currency risks are identified as "Trade debts".

The company does not view hedging as being financially feasible owing to the transactions of immaterial amounts involved.

30.3. FAIR VALUE OF THE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The carrying value of all financial assets and liabilities reflected in the financial statements approximates their fair values. Fair value is determined on the basis of objective evidence at each reporting date.

30.4. INTEREST RATE RISK MANAGEMENT

Interest rate risk represents the value of financial instruments, which will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rate. Since the company borrows funds at fixed interest rates, exposure to interest rate risk is minimal.

30.5. LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT

Liquidity risk reflects the company's inability of raising funds to meet commitments. Management closely monitors the company's liquidity and cash flow position. This includes maintenance of balance sheet liquidity ratios, debtors and creditors concentration both in terms of the overall funding mix and avoidance of undue reliance on large individual customers.

30.6. CASH FLOW RISK MANAGEMENT

The company does not have any financial assets or financial liabilities which carry variable interest rates hence is not subject to any cash risk in this area.

30.7. INTEREST/MARK-UP RATE RISK EXPOSURE

The company's exposure to interest/mark-up rate risk on its financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2004 is summarized as follows:
