    ” a derivative is held by a company and not designated as hedging instrument”
    please make me understand this statement.
    what i understand is that there is no difference between these two.. derivative and hedging instrument
    thanks

    No, there is a difference. A derivative may be held as a hedging instrument but, equally, a derivative may be held not as a hedging instrument.

    A derivative is a derivative. But what was the purpose behind the acquisition of that derivative? Was it to serve as a hedge? Or is it simply a financial instrument that we have acquired and that has nothing to do with hedging?

    Ok?
