Includes losses of $7.5 million in the twelve months ended April 28, 2013 and gains of $5.1 million in the twelve months ended April 29, 2012, representing differences between the spot and futures prices for fair value hedges of hog inventory, which are recorded directly into earnings as they occur. There were no fair value hedges of hog inventory during 2014 nor during the three months ended December 29, 2013 nor during the five months ended September 26, 2013 and, therefore, no differences between spot and futures prices were recognized in those periods.

The table above reflects gains and losses from both open and closed contracts including, among other things, gains and losses related to contracts designed to hedge price movements that occur entirely within the period presented. The table includes amounts for both realized and unrealized gains and losses. The table is not, therefore, a simple representation of unrealized gains and losses recognized in the income statement during any period presented.
