Note 19 – Derivative Financial Instruments
Derivative
and hedging activities As adopted January 1, 2001, the Company accounts for derivatives pursuant
to SFAS No. 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as
amended. This standard requires that all derivative instruments be recognized
in the financial statements and measured at fair value regardless of the
purpose or intent for holding them. The adoption
of SFAS No. 133 in 2001 resulted in
a transition gain of $1 on the Consolidated Statements of Operations shown
under the caption ‘Cumulative effect of accounting change, net of tax,’ and a net loss
of $18 ($11 net of tax) recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income.
The
Company is exposed to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes
in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity prices. These
exposures are managed, in part, with the use of derivatives. Interest rate
swap contracts under which the Company agrees to
pay fixed rates of interest are generally
designated as cash flow hedges of variable- rate debt obligations. The Company
uses interest rate swaps to adjust the amount of total debt that is subject
to variable
and fixed interest rates. The following is a summary of the
Company’s risk management strategies and the effect of these strategies on the
consolidated financial statements. |
