The Company's Corporate Treasury function operates as a service
centre for the business, coordinating access to capital markets and
managing financial risks. Treasury does not undertake any
speculative trading activity in financial instruments.
Foreign Currency Risk
The APR Group operates in many different countries around the
world, which can expose it to foreign currency risks. In order to
minimise exposure to such risk, the APR Group primarily contracts
in US Dollars or in contracts with a price based on US Dollars at
the date of transaction or payment if possible. Typically, the
local currency conversion for customer payments is immediate. In
some cases, the APR Group transacts in local currencies when
purchasing materials and supplies for project operations.
In limited circumstances, the APR Group may use derivative
instruments to economically hedge against foreign currency risk.
Any hedges are limited in duration and correspond to the applicable
contract payments or receipts to which the derivatives are
associated. As at 31 December 2011 the APR Group held several
contracts in place hedging future receipts in foreign currency.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on its borrowings.
Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Company to cash flow
interest rate risk. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the
Company to fair value interest rate risk. When applicable, the
Company may elect to economically hedge interest rate risk
associated with debt or borrowings under the credit facility by
purchasing derivative instruments.
As at 31 December 2011, the Company had no cash borrowings.
Credit Risk
Credit risk arises from cash and cash equivalents, deposits with
banks and financial institutions, as well as exposures to
outstanding receivables from customers. Due to the nature of the
Company's business in emerging markets, management believes the
most significant of these risks to be exposures to outstanding
receivables from customers.
To minimise the risk of a significant impact on the business due
to a customer defaulting on its commitments, the Company closely
monitors trade receivables. In addition, the Company utilises
letters of credit from customers, contract insurance policies and
up front deposits to mitigate this risk.
Going Concern
The Company's business, along with the key factors that can
potentially impact future performance and the risks and
uncertainties are described in the Business Review. The financial
position as at 31 December 2011 is detailed in the Financial Review
section above, including a net cash position of $63.1 million and
significant capital resources available under the existing credit
facility.
The Company's forecasts and projections, taking into account
sensitivity analysis on various scenarios, show that the Company
has more than sufficient resources to fund operations well into the
future. Having completed this work, the directors are of the
opinion that the Company has sufficient liquidity to continue
operation for the foreseeable future and thus determine that it is
appropriate to prepare the accounts on a going concern basis.
Dividends Proposed
At the upcoming AGM, the Board will recommend to shareholders
that a resolution is passed to approve payment of a final dividend
for the year ended 31 December 2011 of 10 pence per share, payable
on 29 May 2012 to shareholders on the register at 4 May 2012. The
ex-dividend date will be 2 May 2012.
