13B Net income and expense from financial instruments

There was no income or expense from financial instruments through profit and loss for the period ending 30 June 2009 (2007-08: nil).

13C Fair value of financial instruments

The carrying amount of all financial assets and liabilities are a reasonable approximation of their fair value.

13D Credit risk

PSR's maximum exposures to credit risk at reporting date in relation to each class of recognised financial asset is the carrying amount of those assets as indicated in the Balance Sheet. This risk is mainly related to the recovery of debts owed by persons under review.

PSR is exposed to minimal credit risk in relation to loans and receivables, and cash and trade receiveables. The maximum exposure to credit risk is the risk that arises from potiential default of debt. This amount is equal to the total amount of trade receivables. PSR provides for this risk through the recognition of doubtful debts where necessary.

PSR's credit risk profile has not changed from the prior financial year.

1Cash and cash equivalents are subject to minimal credit risk as cash holdings are held with the Reserve Bank of Australia.

2Trade and other receivables are subject to minimal credit risk, the majority of which will be recovered on a timely basis. The credit risk in relation to debts which have become past due and impaired is such that recovery processes, as specified above, may result in such debts being subsequently recovered.

13E Liquidity risk

PSR has no significant exposures to any concentrations of liquidity risk.

PSR analyses measures of liquidity, such as the relationship between current assets and current liabilities. Such processes, together with the application of full cost recovery, ensures that at any point in time, PSR has appropriate resources available to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due.

PSR manages liquidity risk by ensuring all financial liabilities are paid in accordance with terms and conditions on demand. PSR's liquidity risk profile has not changed from the prior financial year.
