These are used to offset the interest chargedon the UK overdraft which bears interest at 1.75% above LIBOR. Cash at bank and in hand consists primarily of overseas fundswhich are used as short term intra-group financing as well as an internal exchange rate hedge.The weighted average interest rate of fixed rate financial liabilities at 31 October 2003 was 6.6% (2002: 7.0%) and the weightedaverage period of funding was four years (2002: five years).P 48The <strong>Group</strong> has an amortising interest rate swap, from floating to fixed rate, that expires in 2005 at a rate of 7.42%, but otherwise hadno derivative financial instruments outstanding at 31 October 2003. The opinion of the Board is that the fair value of the <strong>Group</strong>’sfinancial liabilities after taking account of the interest rate swap is £509,000 (2002: £847,000) higher than the book value. TheBoard has no intention of realising this liability. The fair value of the financial assets is their book value.
