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.
