The Company is exposed to nancial risk for the nancial instruments that it holds. Financial risk can be classi ed in the following categories; interest rate risk, credit risk, liquidity risk and capital management risk.
The Board has delegated to the Goodman (NZ) Limited Audit Committee the responsibility to review the effectiveness and ef ciency of management processes, risk management and internal nancial controls and systems as part of their duties.
5.1 Financial instruments
The following items in the Balance Sheet are classi ed as nancial instruments: Advances to related parties, interest receivable from related parties, borrowings and interest payable. All items are recorded at amortised cost.
5.2 Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the value or future value of cash ows of a nancial instrument will uctuate because of changes in interest rates. The Board is responsible for the management of the interest rate risk arising from the external borrowings.
To mitigate interest rate risk all advances to related parties have xed interest rates receivable that match the xed interest rates payable on borrowings.
5.3 Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss that arises from a counterparty failing to meet their contractual commitment in full and on time, or from losses arising from the change in value of a trading nancial instrument as a result of changes in credit risk of that instrument.
The Company’s exposure to credit risk is limited to deposits held with banks and credit exposure for the advances to related parties.
The credit quality of nancial assets that are neither past due nor impaired can be assessed by reference to external credit ratings (if applicable) or to historical information about counterparty default rates. All nancial assets are with Goodman Property Trust. Goodman Property Trust has been assigned a rating of BBB with a stable outlook by Standard & Poor's.
5.4 Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter dif culty in meeting obligations from its nancial liabilities. The Company’s approach to management of liquidity risk is to ensure that it will always have suf cient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation. The Company manages this risk through active monitoring of the Company’s liquidity position and availability of borrowings.
The following table outlines the Company’s nancial liabilities by their relevant contractual maturity date. Values are the contractual undiscounted cash ows and include both principal and interest where applicable.
