These contracts are fair valued by comparing the contracted rate to the market rates at balance date. All<br />
movements in fair value are recognised in profit or loss in the period they occur. The net fair value losses on foreign<br />
currency derivatives during the year were $0.15 million for the consolidated entity (2011: $0.02 million).<br />
(b) Forward currency contracts – cash flow hedges<br />
The consolidated entity purchases inventories from various overseas countries. As such, the consolidated entity is<br />
exposed to foreign exchange risk from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to:<br />
United States dollars; and<br />
Euro.<br />
In order to protect against exchange rate movements and to manage the inventory costing process, the<br />
consolidated entity has entered into forward exchange contracts to purchase US dollars and Euro. These contracts<br />
are hedging highly probable forecasted purchases and they are timed to mature when payments are scheduled to<br />
be made. The following table details the forward foreign currency contracts outstanding as at <strong>report</strong>ing date:<br />
