11) Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company is exposed to market risks from changes in interest rates, commodity prices and changes in foreign currency rates. We selectively use derivative financial instruments in order to manage these risks. Information about the Company’s derivative financial instruments is as follows:

Interest Rate Swaps

From time to time as dictated by market opportunities, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements designed to manage exposure to interest rates on the Company’s variable rate indebtedness. The Company recognizes all derivatives on its balance sheet at fair value. The Company has designated its interest rate swap agreements, including those that are forward-dated, as cash flow hedges, and changes in the fair value of the swaps are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged items are recognized in earnings. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, associated with the swaps will be reported by the Company in interest expense.

The Company’s effective swap agreements convert the base borrowing rate on $85 million of debt due under our revolving credit agreement from a variable rate equal to LIBOR to a weighted average fixed rate of 2.11% at September 30, 2019. The fair value of the swaps, recognized in accrued expenses and in other comprehensive income, is as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

Effective Date	Notional Amount	Fixed Interest Rate	Maturity	September 30, 2019			June 30, 2019
December 19, 2015	10,000	2.01%	December 19, 2019		$ (1)			$ 3
May 24, 2017	25,000	1.88%	April 24, 2022		(287	)		(190	)
May 24, 2017	25,000	1.67%	May 24, 2020		14			49
August 6, 2018	25,000	2.83%	August 6, 2023		(1,390	)		(1,242	)
					$ (1,664)			$ (1,380)

The Company reported no losses for the three months ended September 30, 2019, as a result of hedge ineffectiveness. Future changes in these swap arrangements, including termination of the agreements, may result in a reclassification of any gain or loss reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings as an adjustment to interest expense. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to these instruments is being amortized into interest expense concurrent with the hedged exposure.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are used to limit the impact of currency fluctuations on certain anticipated foreign cash flows, such as collections from customers and loan payments between subsidiaries. The Company enters into such contracts for hedging purposes only. The Company has designated certain of these currency contracts as hedges, and changes in the fair value of these contracts are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged items are recognized in earnings. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, associated with these contracts will be reported in net income. At September 30, 2019 and June 30, 2019, the Company had outstanding forward contracts related to hedges of intercompany loans with net unrealized losses of $(1.5) million and $(3.1) million, respectively, which approximate the unrealized gains and losses on the related loans. The contracts have maturity dates ranging from 2020 to 2023, which correspond to the related intercompany loans.

The notional amounts of the Company’s forward contracts, by currency, are as follows:

Currency	September 30, 2019		June 30, 2019
USD		46,278		55,015
EUR		5,750		5,750
