(J) Derivative instruments and hedge accounting The Company uses foreign exchange forward contracts and options to hedge its exposure to movements in foreign exchange rates. These foreign exchange forward contracts and options are not used for trading or speculation purposes. The Accounting Policies for forwards contracts and options are based on whether they meet the criteria for designation as effective cash flow hedges. To designate a forward contract of option as an effective cash flow hedge, the Company objectively evaluates with appropriate supporting documentation at the inception of the each contract whether the contract is effective in achieving offsetting cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Effective hedge is generally measured by comparing the cumulative change in the fair value of the hedge contract with a cumulative change in the fair value of the hedged item. For forward contracts of options that are designated as effective cash flow hedges, the gain or loss from the effective portion of the hedge is recorded and reported directly in the shareholders' fund (under the head "Hedging Reserve" ) and are reclassified into the profit and loss account upon the occurrence of the hedged transactions. The gain/loss on options designated as effective cash flow hedges are included along with the underlying hedged fore casted transactions.
