HEDGES OF NET INVESTMENTS IN FOREIGN ENTITIES
At 31 December 2005, the group held currency swap contracts as a hedge of a long-term investment in a UK subsidiary. The hedge was assessed
to be highly effective. At 31 December 2005, the hedge had a fair value of $63 million and the gain on the hedge recognized in equity was
$58 million. US dollars have been sold forward for sterling purchased, with a maturity of 3 to 4 years.
DERIVATIVES HELD FOR TRADING
The group maintains active trading positions in a variety of derivatives. This activity is undertaken in conjunction with risk management activities.
Derivatives held for trading purposes are marked-to-market and any gain or loss recognized in the income statement. For traded derivatives, many
positions have been neutralized, with trading initiatives being concluded by taking opposite positions to fix a gain or loss, thereby achieving a zero
net market risk.
The following table shows the fair value at 31 December of derivatives and other financial instruments held for trading purposes. The fair values
at the year end are not materially unrepresentative of the position throughout the year.
