[F1(1ZA) But where the matched shares, ships or aircraft are matched after the company became party to the loan relationship, paragraph (1) only applies to a just and reasonable proportion of any exchange gain or loss having regard to—

(a)the fraction of the accounting period for which the shares, ships or aircraft are matched with the loan relationship,

(b)the fraction of the accounting period for which the company was party to the loan relationship, and

(c)fluctuations in exchange rates during the accounting period.]

[F2(1A) For the purposes of paragraph (1) a liability representing a loan relationship does not include any liability representing a relationship within section 100(1) of the Finance Act 1996.]

(2) This regulation does not apply if movements in the fair value [F3, or profits or losses arising on the disposal,] of any shares, ships or aircraft which are an asset falling within regulation 3(1) are brought into account by the company in computing, for the purposes of corporation tax, the profits of a trade carried on by it which consists of or includes dealing in shares, ships or aircraft.

[F4(3) Shares, ships or aircraft are matched to the greatest possible extent with—

(a)

the liability representing the loan relationship designated as a hedge if condition 1 is satisfied;

(4) If [F13condition 2] applies, a liability is matched with an asset only to the extent that the carrying value of the liability F14... does not exceed the unmatched carrying value of the asset at [F15the relevant time].

(5) For the purposes of section 84A(3A) of the Finance Act 1996 there is prescribed an exchange gain or loss arising to a company in an accounting period in relation to an asset representing a loan relationship of the company which is matched with the whole or part of any share capital of the company.
