Derivative

Sir, Could you please explain the meaning of this line as I am unable to get a clear picture of this. The contract was not entered into for the purpose of receipt or delivery of the item to meet the entity's operating requirements. Thanks in advance

Hi, A derivative is usually used or speculative trading purposes, so if we buy it as part of our ordinary operations then we are not speculating and so it is not a derivative and is treated as a normal financial instrument. Thanks
