Nature and purpose of other reserves
a) Securities premium reserve
Securities premium is used to record the premium on issue of shares. The reserve is utilised in accordance with the
provisions of the Companies Act, 2013.
b) FVOCI - equity instruments
The Company has elected to recognise changes in the fair value of certain investments in equity securities in Other
Comprehensive Income. These changes are accumulated within the FVOCI equity instruments reserve within equity. The
Company transfers amounts from this reserve to retained earnings when the relevant equity securities are de-recognised.
c) Cash flow hedging reserve
The Company uses hedging instruments as part of its management of foreign currency risk associated with its highly probable
forecast sale and inventory purchases and interest rate risk associated with variable interest rate borrowings. For hedging
foreign currency risk, the Company uses foreign currency forward contracts, foreign currency option contracts and Interest
rate swaps. They are designated as cash flow hedges to the extent these hedges are effective, the change in fair value of the
hedging instrument is recognised in the cash flow hedging reserve. Amounts recognised in the cash flow hedging reserve is
reclassified to profit or loss when the hedged item affects profit or loss (for example, sales and interest payments). When the
forecast transaction results in the recognition of a non-financial asset (for example, inventory), the amount recognised in the
cash flow hedging reserve is adjusted against the carrying amount of the non-financial asset.
