| <NonNumbericText> <div style="font-size:12pt"><p>21. Derivative instruments<br /><br />Treasury policies and organization<br /><br />The Company’s principal treasury operations are coordinated by its corporate treasury function. All treasury operations are conducted within a framework of policies and procedures approved annually by the Board of Directors. As a matter of policy, the Company does not undertake speculative transactions that would increase its currency or interest rate exposure.<br /><br />Interest rate risk<br /><br />The Company is exposed to interest rate risk on restricted cash, cash and cash equivalents and on foreign exchange contracts on which interest is at floating rates. This exposure is primarily to US dollar, Euro and Canadian dollar interest rates. As the Company maintains all of its investments and foreign exchange contracts on a short term basis for liquidity purposes, this risk is not actively managed. In the year to December 31, 2009 the average interest rate received on cash and liquid investments was less than 1% per annum. The largest proportion of investments was in US dollar money market and liquidity funds.<br />The Company incurs interest at a fixed rate of 2.75% on Shire plc’s $1,100 million in principal amount convertible bonds due 2014. The building financing obligation of $46.7 million is also subject to a fixed interest rate over the lease term on the amount outstanding. <br />No derivative instruments were entered into during the year to December 31, 2009 to manage interest rate exposure. The Company continues to review its interest rate risk and the policies in place to manage the risk. <br /><br />Market risk of investments<br /><br />As at December 31, 2009 the Company has $105.7 million of investments comprising available-for-sale investments in publicly quoted companies ($87.0 million), equity method investments ($14.8 million) and cost method investments in private companies ($3.9 million). The investments in public quoted companies and equity method investments, for certain investment funds which contain a mixed portfolio of public and private investments, are exposed to market risk. No financial instruments or derivatives have been employed to hedge this risk.<br /><br />Credit risk <br /><br />Financial instruments that potentially expose Shire to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of short-term cash investments, trade accounts receivable (from product sales and from third parties from which the Company receives royalties) and derivative contracts. Cash is invested in short-term money market instruments, including money market and liquidity funds and bank term deposits. The money market and liquidity funds in which Shire invests are all triple A rated by both Standard & Poor’s and by Moody’s credit rating agencies.<br /><br />The Company is exposed to the credit risk of the counterparties with which it enters into derivative contracts. The Company aims to limit this exposure through a system of internal credit limits which require counterparties to have a long term credit rating of A / A2 or better from the major rating agencies. The internal credit limits are approved by the Board of Directors and exposure against these limits is monitored by the corporate treasury function. The counterparties to the derivative contracts are major international financial institutions. <br /><br />The Company’s revenues from product sales are mainly governed by agreements with major pharmaceutical wholesalers and relationships with other pharmaceutical distributors and retail pharmacy chains. For the year to December 31, 2009 there were two customers in the US who accounted for 51% of the Company’s product sales. However, such customers typically have significant cash resources and as such the risk from concentration of credit is considered minimal. The Company has taken positive steps to manage any credit risk associated with these transactions and operates clearly defined credit evaluation procedures.<br /><br />Foreign exchange risk<br /><br />The Company trades in numerous countries and as a consequence has transactional and translational foreign exchange exposure.<br /><br />Transactional exposure arises where transactions occur in currencies different to the functional currency of the relevant subsidiary. The main trading currencies of the Company are the US dollar, the Canadian dollar, Pounds Sterling and the Euro. It is the Company’s policy that these exposures are minimized to the extent practicable by denominating transactions in the subsidiary’s functional currency. <br /><br />Where significant exposures remain, the Company uses foreign exchange contracts (being spot, forward and swap contracts) to manage the exposure in respect of balance sheet assets and liabilities that are denominated in currencies different to the functional currency of the relevant subsidiary. These assets and liabilities relate predominantly to intercompany financing and accruals for royalty receipts. The Company utilizes these derivative instruments to manage currency risk on balance sheet foreign exchange exposures but the foreign exchange contracts have not been designated as hedging instruments.<br /><br />Translational foreign exchange exposure arises on the translation into US dollars of the financial statements of non-US dollar functional subsidiaries. <br /><br />At December 31, 2009 the Company had 26 swap and forward foreign exchange contracts outstanding to manage currency risk. The swaps and forward contracts mature within 90 days. The Company did not have credit risk related contingent features or collateral linked to the derivatives. These foreign exchange contracts were classified in the consolidated balance sheet as follows:</p><table style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 20px;"><tr><td width="602" align="left" height="17" colspan="2">December 31,</td><td height="17" width="108" align="right"><b>Fair value</b></td></tr><tr><td height="17" width="75" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="527" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="108" align="right"><b>2009 </b></td></tr><tr><td height="17" width="75" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="527" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="108" align="right"><b>$’M</b></td></tr><tr><td height="14" width="75" align="left"> </td><td height="14" width="527" align="left"> </td><td height="14" width="108" align="right">_____________</td></tr><tr><td height="22" width="75" align="left">Assets</td><td height="22" width="527" align="left">Prepaid expenses and other current assets</td><td height="22" width="108" align="right">5.4 </td></tr><tr><td height="22" width="75" align="left">Liabilities</td><td height="22" width="527" align="left">Other current liabilities</td><td height="22" width="108" align="right">1.2 </td></tr><tr><td height="12" width="75" align="left"> </td><td height="12" width="527" align="left"> </td><td height="12" width="108" align="right">_____________</td></tr></table><p>Net gains and losses (both realized and unrealized) arising on foreign exchange contracts have been classified in the consolidated statement of operations as follows: <br /></p><table style="border-collapse: collapse; margin-top: 20px;"><tr><td height="34" width="341" align="left"> </td><td height="34" width="180" align="left"><b>Location of net (loss)/gain recognized in income</b></td><td height="34" width="106" align="left"><b> </b></td><td height="34" width="106" align="right"><b>Amount of net (loss)/gain recognized in income</b></td></tr><tr><td height="12" width="341" align="left"> </td><td height="12" width="180" align="left"><b>__________________________________</b></td><td height="12" width="106" align="left"><b> </b></td><td height="12" width="106" align="right"><b>__________________________</b></td></tr><tr><td height="35" width="341" align="left"> </td><td height="35" width="180" align="left"><b> </b></td><td height="35" width="106" align="left"><b> </b></td><td height="35" width="106" align="right"><b>Year to December 31, </b></td></tr><tr><td height="17" width="341" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="180" align="left"><b> </b></td><td height="17" width="106" align="left"><b> </b></td><td height="17" width="106" align="right"><b>2009 </b></td></tr><tr><td height="17" width="341" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="180" align="left"><b> </b></td><td height="17" width="106" align="left"><b> </b></td><td height="17" width="106" align="right"><b>$’M</b></td></tr><tr><td height="17" width="341" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="180" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="106" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="106" align="right">_____________</td></tr><tr><td height="17" width="341" align="left">Foreign exchange contracts</td><td height="17" width="180" align="left">Other income/(expense), net</td><td height="17" width="106" align="left"> </td><td height="17" width="106" align="right">(1.4)</td></tr><tr><td height="11" width="341" align="left"> </td><td height="11" width="180" align="left"> </td><td height="11" width="106" align="left"> </td><td height="11" width="106" align="right">_____________</td></tr></table><p>These net foreign exchange losses are offset within Other income/(expense) by net foreign exchange gains arising on the balance sheet items that these contracts were put in place to manage. </p></div> </NonNumbericText> |
