NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 March <strong>2011</strong> (i) Foreign exchange risk management STB has exposure to foreign currency risk from transactions denominated in foreign currencies arising from its normal course of operations and from its investment portfolio arising from securities denominated in foreign currencies. Where appropriate, STB may hedge these risks as they arise. At the reporting date, the carrying amounts of monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in significant foreign currencies other than STB’s functional currency are disclosed in the respective notes to the financial statements. Foreign currency sensitivity analysis has not been presented as management do not expect any reasonable possible changes in foreign currency exchange rates to have a significant impact on STB’s operations and cashflows. (ii) Interest rate risk management STB’s exposure to changes in interest rates relates primarily to investments in fixed income instruments and fixed deposits. Fixed income instruments are managed by external fund managers appointed by STB. It is STB’s policy to obtain the most favourable interest rate for its fixed deposits depending on the immediate cash requirements. Interest rate sensitivity analysis has not been presented as management do not expect any reasonable possible changes in interest rates to have a significant impact on STB’s operations and cash flows. (iii) Credit risk management Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to STB. Cash and fixed deposits are placed with reputable financial institutions. Investments in financial instruments are managed by approved and reputable fund managers. Credit risks, or the risk of counterparties defaulting, are controlled by the application of regular monitoring procedures. The extent of STB’s credit exposure is represented by the aggregate balance of financial assets at the end of each reporting period. 76
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 31 March <strong>2011</strong> (iv) Liquidity risk STB monitors and maintains a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance its’ operations. The investment portfolio comprises mainly of quoted debt securities with resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity. STB has non-derivative financial assets as shown on the statement of financial position under financial assets under fund management which are substantially managed externally by professional fund managers. The non-derivative financial assets comprise investments in debt securities which are mainly quoted (as disclosed under Note 13). The non-derivative financial assets may be liquidated readily when required. STB does not have a significant exposure to liquidity risk as at the end of each reporting periods. (v) Fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities as reported in the financial statements approximate their respective fair values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair values of financial assets and financial liabilities are determined as follows: • the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities with standard terms and conditions and traded on active liquid markets are determined with reference to quoted market prices; and • Unquoted investment whose fair value cannot be reliably measured by alternative valuation methods are carried at cost less any impairment losses. STB classifies fair value measurements using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels: (a) quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1); (b) inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices) (Level 2); and (c) inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs) (Level 3). 77
