8.            DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:

 

As of September 30, 2012 the Company did not have any derivative instruments.

 

Cash Flow Hedges

 

The Company previously used forward foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency rate fluctuations associated with certain forecasted intercompany transactions. The Company’s primary forward foreign currency contracts hedged approximately $0.6 million of monthly payments in Canadian dollars for intercompany transactions. The Company’s forward foreign currency contracts hedged transactions through September 2012. During the three months ended September 30, 2011 the Company recognized a $0.4 million gain on the forward foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges in other comprehensive income.

 

These cash flow hedges were effective as cash flow hedges. They were recorded at fair value within other noncurrent liabilities or other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, with corresponding offsets primarily recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax.

 

Freestanding Derivative Forward Contracts

 

The Company previously used freestanding derivative forward contracts to offset the Company’s exposure to the change in fair value of certain foreign currency denominated investments and intercompany assets and liabilities. These derivatives were not designated as hedges and therefore, changes in the fair value of these forward contracts are recognized currently in earnings, thereby offsetting the current earnings effect of the related foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

 

As of June 30, 2012, the Company had less than $0.1 and $0.1 million in forward foreign currency contracts, designed as a cash flow hedge and a freestanding derivative contract, respectively, recorded within other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

 

There were no reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive income into current earnings during the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, the Company recognized less than $0.1 and ($0.4) million within interest income and other, net associated with the freestanding forward foreign currency contracts.
