LANDCORP FARMING LIMITED AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS CONTINUEDNote 36 – Risk Management (continued)D – Foreign Currency RiskForeign currency risk is the risk that <strong>Landcorp</strong>’s sales revenue will be impacted by fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. <strong>Landcorp</strong> is exposedto indirect foreign currency risk through the sale of products by processing companies to overseas markets. <strong>Landcorp</strong> has a foreign currencypolicy designed to limit the negative impact of exchange rate movements on revenue. Foreign currency risk is quantified and managed and thepolicy is to fix, either directly or indirectly, a minimum of 20 percent of sales revenue to mitigate the level of foreign currency risk. Sales revenueis fixed indirectly through the hedging activities of processing companies (such as milk processors) and sales contracts fixed in New Zealanddollars. Sales revenue is fixed directly with foreign currency derivatives, such as forward foreign exchange contracts and foreign currency options.At 30 June 2010, approximately 40% of 2010/11 revenue (2009 29%) was estimated to be fixed indirectly through the hedging activities ofprocessing companies. No direct foreign currency hedging was in place at 30 June 2010 (2009 none).E – Interest Rate RiskInterest rate risk is the risk of loss arising from changes in interest rates. <strong>Landcorp</strong> is exposed to interest rate risk on borrowings used to fundinvestment and ongoing operations. <strong>Landcorp</strong> has an interest rate risk management policy designed to identify and manage interest rate riskto ensure funding is obtained in a cost effective manner, to minimise the cost of borrowing and to provide greater certainty of funding costs.Management monitors the level of interest rates on an ongoing basis, and from time-to-time, will fix the rates of interest payable using derivativefinancial instruments. Forward rate agreements, interest rate swaps and interest rate options may be used for risk management purposes.Assets and liabilities will mature or re-price within the periods shown in the table below.

The effects are all estimated after the effect of any hedging instruments used in the year, but do not include any potential price changes infinancial instruments at balance date.The sensitivity analysis is based on exposures arising over the 2009/10 year, rather than exposures at balance date, as <strong>Landcorp</strong>’s operations arehighly seasonal and the effect of risk exposures and hedging instruments at balance date do not reflect those experienced during the year.Group Group Parent Parent2010 2009 2010 2009$000 $000 $000 $000Interest rate riskNet finance costs would have changed by:OCR higher/lower by 1% (310) / +310 (520) / +520 (310) / +310 (520) / +520Foreign currency riskRevenue would have changed by:NZD 1% higher/lower against USD (739) / +755 (595) / +607 (559) / +570 (564) / +575NZD 1% higher/lower against EUR (373) / +380 (427) / +436 (371) / +378 (425) / +433NZD 1% higher/lower against GBP (145) / +148 (155) / +159 (144) / +146 (154) / +157NZD 1% higher/lower against all currencies (1,178) / +1,202 (1,178) / +1,202 (1,073) / + 1,095 (1,142) / + 1,165Commodity price riskRevenue would have changed by:1% increase/decrease in all commodity prices +1,617 / (1,617) +1,560 / (1,560) +1,413 / (1,413) +1,398 / (1,398)93
