c) Credit risk. The Company does not have a significant credit risk since the average
customer collection period is very short and guarantees are required for deferred payment
sales. Cash placements are made and derivative instruments are arranged with institutions
of recognised solvency.

interest rate risk. The Company's financing is arranged at interest rates tied to Euribor. To
mitigate this risk, the Company has arranged interest rate swaps to limit the finance costs
arising from its floating-rate borrowings.
