Case 2: Offset of Cash Flow Hedges<br />

To extend the example, A also has highly probable future revenues of FC200 on<br />

which it expects to receive cash in 90 days. B has highly probable future expenses of<br />

FC500 (rental for offices), also to be paid for in 90 days. A <strong>and</strong> B enter into separate<br />

forward contracts with TC to hedge these exposures <strong>and</strong> TC enters into an external<br />

forward contract to receive FC300 in 90 days.<br />

As before, FC weakens at the end of month 1. A incurs a “loss” of LC20 on its<br />

anticipated revenues because the LC value of these revenues decreases. This is offset<br />

by a “gain” of LC20 on its forward contract with TC.<br />

B incurs a “gain” of LC50 on its anticipated advertising cost because the LC value of<br />

the expense decreases. This is offset by a “loss” of LC50 on its transaction with TC.<br />

TC incurs a “gain” of LC50 on its internal transaction with B, a “loss” of LC20 on its<br />

internal transaction with A <strong>and</strong> a loss of LC30 on its external forward contract.<br />

A <strong>and</strong> B complete the necessary documentation, the hedges are effective, <strong>and</strong> both A <strong>and</strong><br />

B qualify for hedge accounting in their individual financial statements. A recognizes the<br />

gain of LC20 on its internal derivative transaction in net assets/equity <strong>and</strong> B recognizes<br />

the loss of LC50 in net assets/equity. TC does not claim hedge accounting, but measures<br />

both its internal <strong>and</strong> external derivative positions at fair value, which net to zero.<br />

At the end of month 1, the following entries are made in the individual or separate<br />

financial statements of A, B <strong>and</strong> TC. Entries reflecting transactions or events within<br />

the economic entity are shown in italics.<br />
