As at 31 December2010, 46% of the syndicate loan is secured with a fixed interest rate. In 2010, the group entered into an interest rate swap with Nordea, whereScana receives floating rates of interest and pays fixed rates. Changes in the fair value of the agreement are recognised against the overall resultin line with the rules in IAS 39 on hedge accounting. The maturity profile on the interest rate swap is five years, while the interest-bearing liabilitymatures after two years. Any inefficiencies are recognised in the profit and loss account. For 2010, the hedge ratio is considered to be effective,and the entire change in value linked to the interest rate swaps is consequently recognised against the total comprehensive income. As at 31December 2010, the group has an interest rate swap totalling SEK 200 million, where the group pays a fixed interest rate and receives a floating rate.Currency Amount Fixed interest rate Maturity Fair valueSEK 200 000 3.21 % 25-04-14 -2 904The floating interest rate is set each quarter based on the 3-month STIBOR interest rate. Interest rate swaps that were hedging instruments includedin the cash flow hedging as at 31 December 2010, are NOK -2.9 million before tax and recognised directly against the total comprehensiveincome as at 2010.Hedging fluctuations in electricity pricesThe group has major electricity costs in relation to the production of its goods. Scana protects itself from fluctuations in electricity prices bybuying electricity derivatives for Swedish subsidiaries and Scana Steel Stavanger AS. The group has an agreement with Vattenfall PowerManagement AB to administer Scana’s electricity derivatives with the aim of hedging future electricity prices. The estimated electricityconsumption is hedged by up to 100 per cent for the coming months, while the hedged share of estimated consumption gradually becomeslower for periods further into the future. As at 31 December 2010, electricity hedging is carried out for up to three years in the future. The valueof electricity derivatives is calculated based on the difference between the agreed future electricity price and the market’s forward prices on thevaluation date multiplied by the hedged volume. The change in the fair value of electricity derivatives is carried against the total comprehensiveincome to the degree it satisfies the performance requirements for hedge accounting in accordance with IAS 39. The ineffective share of thechanges in value is recognised in the profit and loss account.For the settlement of electricity derivatives, Scana receives a statement from Vattenfall based on the difference between the agreed price inaccordance with the electricity contracts and the price Scana has paid for its ongoing electricity consumption. This amount is recognised asother operating costs in such a way that the expensed electricity consumption is based on the hedged electricity prices at all times.
