Fair Value Hedge:  The Company utilizes futures to minimize the price risk assumed when forward priced contracts are offered to the Company’s commodity suppliers.  The intent of the program is to make the forward priced commodities cost nearly the same as cash market purchases at the date of delivery.

 

The futures contracts are designated and accounted for as fair value hedges, and the Company measures the effectiveness of the hedges on a regular basis.  Changes in the fair value of the futures contracts, along with the gain or loss on the hedged purchase commitment, are marked-to-market through earnings and are recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as a current asset and liability, respectively.  Gains or losses related to these fair value hedges are recognized through cost of products sold in the period or periods in which the hedged transactions affect earnings.

 

As of January 25, 2009, the fair value of the Company’s open futures contracts included on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position was $19,713.  Gains on closed futures contracts in the amount of $19,769, before tax, were recognized in earnings during the three months ended January 25, 2009, compared to gains of $4,450, before tax, in the same period of fiscal 2008.  There were no gains or losses recognized into earnings as a result of a hedged firm commitment no longer qualifying as a fair value hedge.
