Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to certain risk arising from both its business operations and economic conditions and principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company, on a routine basis and in the normal course of business, experiences expenses denominated in Swiss Franc ("CHF"), Canadian Dollar ("CAD") and Great British Pound ("GBP"). Such expenses expose the Company to exchange rate fluctuations between these foreign currencies and USD. The Company uses derivative financial instruments in the form of forward contracts, to mitigate risk associated with adverse movements in these foreign currency exchange rates on a portion of foreign denominated expenses expected to be realized over the next twelve months. Currency forward contracts involve fixing the exchange rate for delivery of a specified amount of foreign currency on a specified date.

The Company records all derivatives in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value, with assets included in "Other current assets" and liabilities included in "Accrued liabilities". The Company’s accounting treatment for these instruments is based on whether or not the instruments are designated as a hedging instrument. The Company is currently applying hedge accounting to all foreign currency derivatives.

At May 1, 2016, the Company had the following open foreign currency contracts:

These contracts, with maturities within the next twelve months, met the criteria for cash flow hedges and the unrealized gains or losses, after tax, are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive gain in shareholders’ equity. The effective portions of cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in revenue on the condensed consolidated statements of operations when the underlying hedged revenue is recognized. Any ineffective portions of cash flow hedges are recorded in "Non-operating (expense) income, net" on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company presents its derivative assets and liabilities at their gross fair values on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
