    Autodesk applies fair value accounting for certain financial assets and liabilities, which consist of cash equivalents, marketable securities, and other financial instruments, on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

As of both July 31, 2021, and January 31, 2021, Autodesk had no material unrealized losses, individually and in the aggregate, for marketable debt securities that are in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months. Total unrealized gains for securities with net gains in accumulated other comprehensive income were not material for the six months ended July 31, 2021.

Autodesk monitors all marketable debt securities for potential credit losses by reviewing indicators such as, but not limited to, current credit rating, change in credit rating, credit outlook, and default risk. There were no allowances for credit losses as of both July 31, 2021, and January 31, 2021. There were no write offs of accrued interest receivables for the six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020.

There was no realized gain or loss for the sales or redemptions of debt securities during both the six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020. Gains and losses resulting from the sale or redemption of debt securities are recorded in “Interest and other expense, net” on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

There were zero and $4.0 million in proceeds from the sale and maturity of marketable debt securities for the three and six months ended July 31, 2021, respectively. Proceeds from the sale and maturity of marketable debt securities for both the three and six months ended July 31, 2020, was $11.0 million.

Strategic investment equity securities

As of July 31, 2021, and January 31, 2021, Autodesk had $129.5 million and $134.1 million, respectively, in direct investments in privately held companies. These strategic investment equity securities do not have readily determined fair values, and Autodesk uses the measurement alternative to account for the adjustment to these investments in a given quarter. If Autodesk determines that an impairment has occurred, Autodesk writes down the investment to its fair value.

Adjustments to the carrying value of our strategic investment equity securities with no readily determined fair values measured using the measurement alternative were as follows:
 Six Months Ended July 31,Cumulative Amount as of
20212020July 31, 2021
Upward adjustments (1)$5.6 $3.0 $21.6 
Negative adjustments, including impairments (1)(8.8)(34.8)(69.4)
Net adjustments$(3.2)$(31.8)$(47.8)
____________________ 
(1)Included in “Interest and other expense, net” on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the three and six months ended July 31, 2021, Autodesk recognized gains of none and $8.1 million on the disposition of strategic investment equity securities, respectively. There were no recognized gains or losses on the disposition of strategic investment equity securities for both the three and six months ended July 31, 2020.

Foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges

Autodesk uses foreign currency contracts to reduce the exchange rate impact on a portion of the net revenue or operating expense of certain anticipated transactions. These currency collars and forward contracts are designated and documented as cash flow hedges. The notional amounts of these contracts are presented net settled and were $1.08 billion at July 31, 2021, and $1.14 billion at January 31, 2021. Outstanding contracts are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at fair value. The majority of the net loss of $4.6 million remaining in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” as of July 31, 2021, is expected to be recognized into earnings within the next 24 months.
The location and amount of gain or loss recognized in income on cash flow hedges together with the total amount of income or expense presented in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations where the effects of the hedge are recorded were as follows for the three and six months ended July 31, 2021 and 2020:
