700Relationship of this Part to Part 5: loan relationships
1
This section applies if—
a
a company is a party to a loan relationship because of a derivative contract, and
b
in accordance with this Part, a profit or loss accrues to the company on the contract for an accounting period (“the derivative profit or loss”).
2
The general rule is that this Part does not apply to the derivative profit or loss if—
a
an amount representing the derivative profit or loss, or
b
an amount representing the profit or loss accruing to that company on the contract,
is brought into account for that period for the purposes of Part 5 otherwise than because of section 574.
3
But in a case where section 585 (loan relationships with embedded derivatives) applies, the general rule does not apply so far as—
a
the derivative profit or loss accrues from the rights and liabilities mentioned in section 585(1)(b) (rights and liabilities under derivative financial instruments or equity instruments), and
b
that profit or loss is dealt with in accordance with that section and this Part.
