At 31 March 2014, the Group had an interest rate swap in place with a notional amount of GBP2.9 million, whereby it receives a floating rate of interest based on LIBOR and pays a fixed rate of interest at 0.92% on the notional amount. The swap is to hedge the exposure to changes in the interest rate. The terms of the hedge have been negotiated to match the terms and commitments. The fair value of the swap at the balance sheet date was a liability of GBP4,000.

At 31 March 2014, the Group had an interest rate swap in place with a notional amount of $5.4 million (GBP3.2 million), whereby it receives a floating rate of interest based on LIBOR and pays a fixed rate of interest at 0.77% on the notional amount. The swap is to hedge the exposure to changes in the interest rate. The terms of the hedge have been negotiated to match the terms of the commitments. The fair value of the swap at the balance sheet date was a liability of GBP12,000.

At 31 March 2014 the Group had an interest rate swap in place with a notional amount of EUR7 million (GBP5.8 million), whereby it receives a floating rate of interest based on EURIBOR and pays a fixed rate of interest at 2.29% on the notional amount. This swap is to hedge the exposure to changes in the interest rate. The terms of the hedge have been negotiated to match the terms of the commitments. The fair value of the swap at the balance sheet date was a liability of GBP278,000.

At 31 March 2014, the Group had an interest rate cap on a notional amount of GBP8 million, and a notional amount of $8 million (GBP4.8 million), whereby interest payable has been capped at 1.5% on both notional amounts. The terms of the hedge have been negotiated to match the terms of the commitments. The fair value of the caps at the balance sheet date were liabilities of GBP105,000.

The Group has forward currency hedging contracts outstanding at 31 March 2014 designated as hedges of expected future purchases in US Dollars and Chinese Renminbi for which the Group has firm commitments. The forward currency contracts are being used to hedge the foreign currency risk of the firm commitments.

The terms of the forward currency hedging contracts have been negotiated to match the terms of the commitments.

The cash flow hedges of the expected future purchases in 2014/15 were assessed to be highly effective and as at 31 March 2014 a net unrealised loss of GBP178,000 with related deferred tax credit of GBPnil was included in other comprehensive income in respect of these hedging contracts.

e) Market risk

Financial risk management

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices, will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments.

The Group hedges a proportion, as deemed appropriate by management, of its UK subsidiaries' sales and purchases of inventory denominated in foreign currency by entering into foreign exchange contracts. Such foreign exchange contracts typically have maturities of less than one year.

The Group rarely hedges profit translation exposure, since such hedges provide only a temporary deferral of the effects of movement in foreign exchange rates. Similarly, the Group does not hedge its long-term investments in overseas assets.

However, the Group holds loans that are denominated in the functional currency of certain overseas entities.

The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk is as follows. This is based on the carrying amount for monetary financial instruments except derivatives when it is based on notional amounts.

Sensitivity analysis

A 10% weakening of the following currencies against Sterling at 31 March 2014 would have increased equity and profit or loss by the amounts shown below. This calculation assumes that the change occurred at the balance sheet date and had been applied to risk exposures existing at that date. This is translational exposure.

This analysis assumes that all other variables, in particular other exchange rates and interest rates, remain constant. The analysis is performed on the same basis for 31 March 2013.

 
                Equity       Profit/(loss) 
            --------------  --------------- 
              2014    2013     2014    2013 
            GBP000  GBP000   GBP000  GBP000 
----------  ------  ------  -------  ------ 
Euro         (285)     180    (148)      29 
US Dollar    1,528   1,733    (247)   (238) 
----------  ------  ------  -------  ------ 
 

On the basis of the same assumptions, a 10% strengthening of the above currencies against Sterling at 31 March 2014 would have decreased equity and profit or loss by the following amounts:

 
                 Equity        Profit/(loss) 
            ----------------  --------------- 
               2014     2013     2014    2013
