10. Financial Instruments and Financial Risk
The Company’s financial instruments are classified and measured at amortized cost (cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities).
a) Fair value measurement
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are considered reasonable approximations of their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.
The Company does not have any financial assets or financial liabilities measured at fair value subsequent to initial recognition.
b) Risk exposures and responses
The Company’s financial instruments are exposed to market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk.
Market risk
Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. Market risk is comprised of three types of risk: foreign currency risk, price risk and interest rate risk.
Foreign currency risk
The Company is exposed to foreign currency risk to the extent financial instruments held by the Company are not denominated in US dollars.
At the reporting date, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk through the following assets and liabilities denominated in Malaysian ringgit (RM), Australian dollar (AUD) and Canadian dollar (CAD):
| September | 30, 2022 | June 30, 2022 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | $ | ||
| (in 000’s,US dollar equivalent) | AUD | RM | CAD | AUD | RM | CAD | |
| Financial instrument – assets | |||||||
| Cash and cash equivalents | 59 | 52 | 40 | 177 | 192 | 168 | |
| Restricted cash | - | 286 |
- | - | 302 |
- | |
| Trade and other receivable | 367 | 209 | 37 | 356 | 218 | 7 | |
| Financial instruments – liabilities | |||||||
| Accounts payable and accrued liabilities | 122 | 6,918 | 236 | 92 | 4,924 | 210 | |
| Lease liabilities | - | - | 230 |
- | - | 252 | |
| Borrowings | - | - | 44 |
- | - | 47 |
The Company has not hedged any of its foreign currency risks.
Based on the above net exposures as at September 30, 2022 and assuming that all other variables remain constant, a 5% depreciation or appreciation of the RM against the US dollar would result in an increase/decrease of approximately $0.32 million (September 30, 2021: $0.28 million) in the Company’s net income, a 5% depreciation or appreciation of the CAD against US dollar would result in an increase/decrease of approximately $0.02 million (September 30, 2021: increase/decrease $0.01 million) in net income and a 5% depreciation or appreciation of the AUD against the US dollar would result in a decrease/increase of approximately $0.02 million (September 30, 2021: decrease/increase $0.06 million) in net income.
Price risk
Other price risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market prices other than those arising from interest rate risk or foreign currency risk. The Company has not hedged any of its commodity price risks.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in market interest rates. Generally, the Company’s interest income will be reduced during sustained periods of lower interest rates as higher yielding cash equivalents and short-term investments mature and the proceeds are reinvested at lower interest rates. The converse situation will have a positive impact on interest income.

MONUMENT MINING LIMITED
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
(expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except share and per share amounts or otherwise stated)
To limit interest rate risk, the Company uses a restrictive investment policy. The fair value of the investments of financial instruments included in cash and cash equivalents is relatively unaffected by changes in short-term interest rates. The investments are generally held to maturity and changes in short-term interest rates do not have a material effect on the Company’s operations.
Credit risk
The Company’s credit risk on trade receivables is negligible.
The Company is exposed to concentration of credit risk with respect to cash and cash equivalents (Note 4). The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amounts at September 30, 2022. The amount of $0.44 million (June 30, 2022: $0.60 million) is held with a Malaysian financial institution, $0.06 million with an Australian financial institution (June 30, 2022: $0.18 million) and $15.65 million (June 30, 2022: $20.26 million) is held with Canadian financial institutions.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Company manages liquidity risk through budgeting and forecasting cash flows to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet its short-term requirements for operations, business development and other contractual obligations. The Company’s cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid and immediately available on demand for the Company’s use. The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Company’s non-derivative financial liabilities as of September 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021.
