Cash Flow Hedges<br />
We designate a portion of our foreign currency derivative contracts as cash flow hedges of foreign currency<br />
denominated purchases. These contracts are recorded at fair value in the accompanying Consolidated Balance<br />
Sheets. The changes in fair value for these contracts on a spot to spot basis are reported in accumulated other<br />
comprehensive income and are reclassified to either cost of sales or SG&A expenses, in our Consolidated<br />
Statements of Operations, in the period or periods during which the underlying transaction occurs. If it becomes<br />
apparent that an underlying forecasted transaction will not occur, the amount recorded in accumulated other<br />
comprehensive income related to the hedge is reclassified to other expenses, in our Consolidated Statements of<br />
Operations, in the then-current period. Amounts relating to such reclassifications were immaterial for the years<br />
ended June 30, 2009, 2008 and 2007.<br />
Changes in the fair value of the derivatives are highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the<br />
hedged items because the amounts and the maturities of the derivatives approximate those of the forecasted<br />
exposures. Any ineffective portion of the derivative is recognized in the current period in our Consolidated<br />
Statements of Operations, on the same line item in which the foreign currency gain or loss on the underlying<br />
hedged transaction was recorded. We recognized no ineffectiveness for the years ending June 30, 2009, 2008 and<br />
2007 and all components of each derivative’s gain or loss, with the exception of forward points (see below), were<br />
included in the assessment of hedge ineffectiveness. At June 30, 2009, the net liability fair value of these<br />
contracts was $14.6 million. The amount associated with these hedges that is expected to be reclassified from<br />
accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings within the next 12 months is a loss of $12.1 million. This<br />
amount also represents the fair market value of foreign currency forward contracts at June 30, 2009.<br />
We elected to exclude forward points from the effectiveness assessment. At the end of the period we<br />
calculate the excluded amount, which is the fair value relating to the change in forward points that is recorded to<br />
current earnings as miscellaneous, net. For the year ended June 30, 2009, we recognized $2.4 million in net gains<br />
related to the change in forward points.<br />
