What it does
Risks and uncertainties The company uses financial instruments, other than derivatives, comprising borrowings, cash and other liquid resources and various other items such as trade debtors and creditors that arise directly from its operations. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to raise finance for the company's operations. The main risks arising from the company's financial instruments are interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk and liquidity risk. The director reviews and agrees policies for managing each of these risks and they are summarised below: Interest rate risk The company finances its operations through a mixture of retained profits and asset finance. The company's HP finance is structured with fixed monthly payments preventing any fluctuation from varying interest rates. Foreign exchange risk The company is able to absorb any foreign exchange losses arising from fluctuations in exchange rates and therefore does not require any hedging instruments. Liquidit
