HEP ANNUAL REPORT 2010<br />

CHAPTER 6 - FINANCIAL STATEMENTS<br />

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL<br />

STATEMENTS OF THE HEP GROUP (CONTINUED)<br />

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2010<br />

37. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (continued)<br />

CREDIT RISK MANAGEMENT<br />

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss<br />

to the Group. The Group is the sole provider of electric energy in the Republic of Croatia. As such, it has a public<br />

responsibility to provide services to all users, and locations within the country, irrespective of credit risk associated<br />

with particular customers. Trade receivables, net, consist of a large number of customers, spread across diverse<br />

industries and geographical areas.<br />

The Group does not have any significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties<br />

having similar characteristics. The Group defines counterparties as having similar characteristics if they are<br />

related entities. Credit risk with respect to trade receivables is primarily related to domestic corporate receivables, specifically<br />

where services are provided to economic concerns, which are in a difficult financial position. Overdue receivables<br />

from households are limited due to Group’s ability to disconnect such customers from the power supply network.<br />

Except as detailed in the following table, the carrying amount of financial assets recorded in the financial<br />

statements, which is net of impairment losses, represents the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk without<br />

taking account of the value of any collateral obtained.<br />

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT<br />

Ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Management Board, which has built an appropriate<br />

liquidity risk management framework for the management of the Group’s short, medium and long-term funding<br />

and liquidity management requirements. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate reserves,<br />

banking facilities and other sources of financing, by continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and<br />

matching the maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities.<br />

Liquidity and interest rate risk tables<br />

The following table details the remaining period to contractual maturity for the Group’s non-derivative financial assets.<br />

The tables below have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of the financial assets including interest that<br />

will be earned on those assets except where the Group anticipates that the cash flow will occur in a different period.<br />
