The consolidated entity’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, which include market risk (currency risk and cash<br />
flow interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The consolidated entity’s overall risk management program focuses on the<br />
unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the financial performance of the group.<br />
The consolidated entity uses derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps to mitigate cash flow interest<br />
rate risk.<br />
The consolidated entity uses different methods to measure different types of risk to which it is exposed. These methods<br />
include sensitivity analysis in the case of interest rate and foreign exchange risk, age analysis for credit risk, and cash flow<br />
forecasts for liquidity risks. The consolidated entity holds the following financial instruments:<br />

a) Currency risk<br />
Management of the consolidated entity monitors the exchange rate fluctuations between the Australian Dollar and the local<br />
currencies of the foreign subsidiaries of the CLV Fund on a regular basis. Management have not utilised any derivative financial<br />
instruments to date to hedge the foreign currency risk of earnings from subsidiaries in accordance with an agreement with the<br />
unit holders of the consolidated entity. Management will institute the appropriate action and utilise the necessary derivative<br />
financial instruments should significant fluctuations and or a change in the agreement with the unit holders occur.<br />
Loans are made during the year between Australian and foreign subsidiaries of the Fund and are short term loans. Foreign<br />
currency contracts are utilised when loans are significant in amount and provided for acquisitions, or repayment of the loan.<br />
Derivative instruments are not used for other loans.<br />
CLV Accommodation Holdings Pty Limited, a subsidiary of CLAT, has a loan denominated in NZ Dollars with a related party<br />
CLVNZ Limited (refer note 16) of $16.1m (2009: $8.5m). A change of 10% in exchange rates will result in a change of $2.0m<br />
(2009: $1.0m) in profit and borrowings.
