FINANCIAL DERIVATIVESThe <strong>Lotus</strong> <strong>Bakeries</strong> Group uses <strong>financial</strong> derivatives to cover risks from adverse exchange rate andinterest rate fluctuations. No derivatives are used for business purposes. Derivatives are initially valuedat cost price and thereafter at fair value.Interest rate hedges:The interest rate contracts cover the interest rate risk of long-term and short-term interest-bearing loansand borrowings with variable interest rates over Euribor up to 1 year.The fair value of the interest rate derivatives is calculated using a model that takes into account theavailable market information on current and expected interest and exchange rates.Most current contracts do not meet the requirements for hedge accounting (cf. IAS 39). The changes inthe fair value of these current contracts are recognized in the income statement for effective portions ofthe hedge.One ongoing interest hedging contact at the company Bisinvest, which has been merged with <strong>Lotus</strong><strong>Bakeries</strong>, is eligible for hedge accounting (cf. IAS 39). On this contract, the change in fair value isrecognized through equity.The interest rate risk on variable rate borrowings is 100% covered.Exchange rate hedges:Purchasing and selling takes place predominantly in euro. The main foreign currency transactions relatedto buying and selling take place in USD, CAD, GBP, CZK and SEK. The net foreign exchange risk of thesecurrencies is almost fully hedged by forward and/or option contracts.The fair value of the foreign currency derivatives is calculated using a valuation model based on theavailable market data on exchange rates and interest rates.Fair value and result outcomein thousands of EUR 2010 2009Foreign currency derivativesFair value (267) (190)Cost/(Revenue) in results 77 539Interest rate derivativesFair value (1,751) (2,741)Cost/(Revenue) in results (974) (423)Decrease/(Increase) in equity (115) 307Financial instruments are valued on the basis of the quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities onliquid markets.n o t e s29
