12.10 Hedging a component of an item
12.10.1 Extract from FRS102-Section 12.16C
12.16C A component of an item comprises less than the entire fair value change or cash flow variability of an item. The following components of an item (including combinations thereof) may be a hedged item:
(a) changes in the cash flows or fair value attributable to a separately identifiable and reliably measureable specific risk or risks, including cash flow and fair value changes above or below a specified price or other variable;
(b) one or more selected contractual cash flows; or
(c) a specified part of the nominal amount of an item.
12.10.2 OmniPro comment
12.10.2.1 Overview
Section 12.16C of FRS 102 makes it clear that a component of an item can be a hedging item. A component of an item comprises less than the fair value or cash flow variability (i.e. you are not hedging the full variability. Examples of items that can be a hedged item are:
- one or more selected contractual cash flows;
- a specified part of the nominal amount of an item;
- changes in the cash flows or fair value relating to a separately identifiable and reliably measurable risk including cash flows above or below a specified price.
Note when hedging forward foreign exchange contracts you could only hedge the first X amount of foreign sales/purchases, you cannot hedge the last X amount of foreign sales/purchases as it would not be possible to identify which items were hedged – the ability to show what was hedged and what actually happened is a specific requirement for hedge accounting.
See illustration of the requirements stated in Section 12.16C of FRS 102 in the examples at 12.10.2.2:
12.10.2.2 Examples illustrating hedging a component of an item
12.10.2.2.1 Hedging with a forward contract where contract is less than the probable sale amount
Example 13: Hedging with a forward contract where contract is less than the probable sale amount
Company A who has a CU functional currency has entered into a probable forecasted transaction for FC100,000. Company A has taken out a forward contract to cover FC70,000 of this sale.
In this instance under Section 12.16C of FRS 102, the company can designate the FC70,000 as the hedged item.
OR
The company has highly probable future sales of FC 300,000 over the next 12 months (FC25,000 per month expected). The Company enters into forward contracts for 12 months in advance as they are happy these are highly probable transactions. The Company takes out foreign contracts to cover the first CU20,000 for each month. In this instance under Section 12.16C of FRS 102, the company can designate the first FC20,000 each month as the hedged item.
If in this example the Company decided to hedge the last FC20,000 each month then hedge accounting could not be applied as it would not be possible to identify which sales were hedged as it the last FC20k is too general, it would have to be the first FC20k that would be hedged.
12.10.2.2.2 Hedging part payments
Example 14: Hedging part payments
Company A entered into a purchase contract in which it will pay 10 payments over the next year. In this example Company A can designate 5 of these payments to be considered for hedge accounting and treated as the hedged item and the other 5 where it takes out a forward contract to cover these five payments.
These payments are separately identifiable.
12.10.2.2.3 Hedging part payments
Example 15: Hedging part payments
Company A gets a loan for CU100,000 at a fixed rate of 5% which is repayable in 5 years.
At the same time Company A enters into an interest rate swap with a third party e.g. another bank for a 5 year period (notional amount is CU50,000) whereby Company A will pay the floating rate to the third party and the third party will pay the fixed rate to Company A.
In this case this specified notional amount of CU50,000 can be held as the hedged item.
Example 16: Partial term hedging
Company A gets a loan for CU100,000 at a fixed rate of 5% which is repayable in 5 years.
At the same time Company A enters into an interest rate swap with a third party e.g. another bank for a 2 year period whereby Company A will pay the floating rate to the third party and the third party will pay the fixed rate to Company A.
In this case the specified notional amount of CU50,000 can be held as the hedged item.
Note if in this example a notional amount was for CU110,000 then hedge accounting could not be applied as it would be in excess of the hedged item.
Also if in this example, the life of the interest rate swap was in excess of the life of the loan then hedge accounting could not be applied (e.g. the swap was for 6 years here)
