30 000 000 (2015: 30 000 000) of the unissued ordinary shares are under the control of the directors until the next annual general meeting.
Foreign currency translation reserve
The translation reserve comprises foreign exchange differences arising from the translation of the financial statements of foreign operations.
Hedging reserve
The hedging reserve represents the effective portion of gains or losses arising on changes in fair value of hedging instruments entered into as cash flow hedges. The cumulative gain or loss arising on changes in fair value of the hedging instruments that are recognised and accumulated under the hedging reserve will be reclassified to profit or loss when the hedged transaction takes place. Where the hedged transaction is for the acquisition of non-monetary assets, the relevant hedging reserve will be offset against the acquisition cost.
Equity-settled share-based payment reserve
The equity-settled share-based payment reserve includes the fair value of the options granted and conditional share awards made to executive directors and staff, which have been recognised over the vesting period at fair value with a corresponding expense recognised in the income statement. The reserve also includes a share-based cost resulting from an empowerment transaction entered into by a subsidiary.
