Hedge of variable interest rate risk arising from bank loan liabilities Anchor Hanover Group keep its hedging strategy and portfolio under review, and entered into additional swaps with National Australia Bank and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group in October 2022 under the same ISDA Master Agreement as those already in place. The National Australia Bank swaps carry a link to the Group's Sustainability Financing Framework key performance indicators (KPI). The derivatives in place as at 31 March 2024 are accounted for as complex financial instruments and are in hedge relationships, in accordance with FRS 102. The value is carried as an asset when the fair value is positive and a liability when the fair value is negative. Movements in fair value for effective hedge relationships are presented in a separate cash flow hedge reserve. Where movements in fair value adjustments relate to the ineffective part of the swap or are not hedge accounted for, they are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. Fair value is determined by reference to the mark-to-market position of the derivative instruments at each reporting date. The derivative financial instruments are analysed as follows: 2024 2023 Maturity date Notional value £’000 Fair value £’000 Notional value £’000 Fair value £’000
