24.1.2 Credit risk
Concentration risk The potential credit concentration risk relates mainly to trade debtors . Trade debtors consist of a large number of clients , spread over different geographic areas and credit is extended in accordance with the credit policy of the group . Prudent credit evaluation processes are strictly adhered to .
The value at risk is calculated as follows : Gross carry amount - Securities held = Gross exposure Gross exposure - Partial net asset value = Net exposure to credit risk after net asset value
1 . “ Gross carry amount ” is calculated by decreasing the total producer debtor balance by the security value held or ceded to Senwes as well as the appropriate allowance for expected credit losses . " Gross exposure " is calculated by decreasing the total gross carry amount by the securities held . " Net exposure " is calculated by decreasing the total gross exposure amount by the partial allocation of net asset value . " Security " may , without limiting the generality thereof , amongst others , assume the form of a special hypothec , a special notarial bond , right of retention , a lessor ’ s hypothec , pledge , cession , surety , option or any other form of security .
2 . Distribution ( spread ) is measured against best practices in the industry , given the concentration in respect of geography , stratification , categorisation and arrears . Sources for measurement of concentration risk are formulated by using various agricultural industry norms , market trends in large companies and own analyses . The spread will increase the value at risk should it be higher than the norm and will decrease the risk should it be lower than the norm .
The risk is measured in respect of concentration in the different areas , namely arrears , categorisation , stratification ( individual extent of the balance of the debtor account ) and geography and are discussed in detail below .
Geography Low concentration risk is applicable due to an extensively spread geographic area , mainly the Free State , North West and Northern Cape . Stratification and arrears
