U Derivative financial instruments continued<br />

Certain derivative transactions, while providing effective economic hedges under the Group’s risk management<br />

policies, do not qualify for hedge accounting under the specific rules in IAS 39. Changes in the fair value of any<br />

derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting under IAS 39 are recognized immediately in the<br />

consolidated profit and loss account.<br />

Hedges of net investments in foreign entities are accounted for on a similar basis to that used for cash flow hedges.<br />

Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognized in exchange<br />

reserves; the gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the consolidated profit and<br />

loss account.<br />

The fair value of derivatives which are designated and qualified as effective hedges are classified as non-current<br />

assets or liabilities if the remaining maturities of the hedged assets or liabilities are greater than twelve months after<br />

the balance sheet date.<br />

V Earnings per share<br />

Basic earnings per share are calculated on profit attributable to shareholders and on the weighted average number<br />

of shares in issue during the year. The weighted average number excludes the shares held by the Trustee under<br />

the Senior Executive Share Incentive Schemes. For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, profit<br />

attributable to shareholders is adjusted for the effects of the conversion of dilutive potential ordinary shares, and<br />

the weighted average number of shares is adjusted for the number of shares which are deemed to be issued for<br />

no consideration under the Senior Executive Share Incentive Schemes based on the average share price during<br />

the year.<br />

W Financial guarantee contracts<br />

Financial guarantee contracts under which the Group accepts significant risk from a third party by agreeing to<br />

compensate that party on the occurrence of a specified uncertain future event are accounted for in a manner<br />

similar to insurance contracts. Provisions are recognized when it is probable that the Group has obligations under<br />

such guarantees and an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligations.<br />
