Where the hedge is effective, the gains or losses are recognised in the “Hedging Reserve” which forms part of “Reserves and Surplus” in the Balance Sheet, while the same is recognised in the Profit & Loss Account where the hedge is ineffective. The amount recognised in the “Hedging Reserve” is transferred to Profit and Loss Account in the period in which the underlying hedged item affects the Profit and Loss Account. Gains / losses on effective hedges for capital goods are adjusted to asset cost.

number of equity shares outstanding during the year.

21. Cash-flow statement Cash-flow statement is prepared segregating the cash-flows from operating, investing and financing activities. Cash-flow from operating

activities is reported using indirect method. Under the indirect method, net profit is adjusted for the effects of:
