This excerpt taken from the ICI 6-K filed Mar 21, 2007. Interest rate hedging Interest rate derivatives are fair valued through the income statement. Where interest rate derivatives form part of designated, effective fair value hedge relationships, the gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging instrument at fair value is recognised in income or expense, and the gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk adjusts the carrying amount of the hedged item and is recognised in income or expense. Where interest rate derivatives form part of designated, effective cash flow hedge relationships, the portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument that is determined to be an effective hedge is recognised directly in equity. Amounts that have been recognised directly in equity are recognised in the income statement in the same period or periods during which the hedged forecast transaction impacts the income statement. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised immediately in the income statement.
