For the year ended 30 June 2011
Impaired receivables
As at 30 June 2011, receivables of the Group with a nominal value of $32,000 (2010: $30,000) were impaired. The amount of the
impairment provision was $32,000 (2010: $30,000). The individually impaired receivables mainly relate to amounts receivable
from clients.
The ageing of these impaired receivables is as follows: Consolidated Parent

The amount of the provision for impairment is recognised in profit or loss in other expenses. When a receivable for which an
impairment allowance had been recognised becomes uncollectible in a subsequent period, it is written off against the allowance
account. Uncollectible receivables are where there is no expectation of recovering additional cash.
(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk relates to the Group having insufficient liquid assets to cover current liabilities and unforeseen expenses.
The Group maintains a prudent approach to managing liquidity risk exposure by maintaining sufficient liquid assets and an ability
to access a committed line of credit. It is managed by continuously monitoring actual and forecast cash flows and by matching the
maturity profiles of financial assets and liabilities. Temporary surplus funds are invested in highly liquid, low risk financial assets.
The Group had access to un-drawn bank borrowing facilities at the balance date, on the terms described and disclosed in Note 22
Borrowings.
The liquidity requirements for licensed entities in the Group are regularly reviewed and carefully monitored in accordance with those
licence requirements.
