Credit risk<br />

The Group h<strong>as</strong> no uncovered significant concentration of<br />

credit risk with any single counter-party or group of counterparties<br />

having similar characteristics.<br />

Credit risk arises from the possibility that customers may not<br />

be able to settle obligations to the Group within the normal<br />

terms of trade. To manage this risk the Group periodically<br />

<strong>as</strong>sesses the financial viability of customers.<br />

Since the Group experienced significant weaknesses in its<br />

credit management in the p<strong>as</strong>t, new procedures were established<br />

to manage credit risk, such <strong>as</strong> control by the application<br />

of credit approvals, limits and monitoring procedures.<br />

The maximum exposure to the credit risk is represented by<br />

the carrying amount of each financial <strong>as</strong>set in the balance<br />

sheet. The Group considers that its maximum exposure is<br />

equal to the amount of c<strong>as</strong>h and c<strong>as</strong>h equivalents, loans<br />

22. Financial Instruments and Financial Risk Management<br />

Interest Rate Risk<br />

The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest<br />

rates relates primarily to the Group’s long-term debt obligations<br />

with floating interest rates (see Note 11). The floating<br />

interest rate is mostly b<strong>as</strong>ed on PRIBOR and EURIBOR<br />

rates and for the UniCredit Bank Czech Republic, a.s. loans it<br />

amounted to 2.94 % and 2.19 % <strong>as</strong> at 31 December 2010 and<br />

3.41 % and 2.57 % <strong>as</strong> at 31 December 2009, respectively.<br />

The following tables demonstrate the sensitivity to a re<strong>as</strong>onably possible change in interest rates, with all other variables held<br />

constant, of the Group’s profit before tax (through the impact on floating rate borrowings). There is no impact on the Group’s<br />

equity and the impact of capitalized interest is not reflected:<br />

Foreign Exchange Risk<br />

The Group enters into some contracts denominated in foreign<br />

currencies. The Group h<strong>as</strong> transactional currency exposures.<br />

Such exposures arise from sales or purch<strong>as</strong>es in<br />

currencies other than the functional currency. The Group<br />

tries to naturally hedge against exchange risks when acquiring<br />

tangible <strong>as</strong>sets in foreign currency by borrowing in the<br />

same currency.<br />

The foreign currency accounts receivable and payable represent<br />

an exchange rate risk for the Group. At 31 December<br />

2010 and 2009, the Group did not have any exchange rate<br />

hedges in place to mitigate the overall foreign currency exposure.<br />
