Hedge of the Net Investment in Foreign Subsidiaries:

        The Company has numerous investments in foreign subsidiaries, and the net assets of these subsidiaries are exposed to exchange rate volatility. The Company frequently evaluates its foreign currency exchange risk by monitoring market data and external factors that may influence exchange rate fluctuations. As a result, the Company may engage in transactions involving various derivative instruments to hedge assets, liabilities and purchases denominated in foreign currencies.

        During September 2006, the Company's cross-currency swap (which had a notional amount of $21.3 million and hedged a portion of the Company's net investment in its foreign operations) was settled, resulting in a cash outlay of $8.9 million. This cash outlay was recorded within investing activities within the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. The related cumulative tax-effected net loss of $7.9 million was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) in fiscal year 2007. This amount will remain deferred within AOCI indefinitely, as the event which would trigger its release from AOCI and recognition in earnings is the sale or liquidation of the Company's international operations that the cross-currency swap hedged. The Company currently has no intent to sell or liquidate this portion of its business operations.

During September 2006, the Company’s cross-currency swap (which had a notional amount of $21.3 million and hedged a portion of the Company’s net investment in its foreign operations) was settled, resulting in a cash outlay of $8.9 million. This cash outlay was recorded within investing activities within the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. Approximately $0.1 million of tax-effected gain related to this derivative was charged to the cumulative translation adjustment account during the twelve months ended June 30, 2007. The cumulative tax-effected net loss recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) related to the cross-currency swap was $7.9 million at June 30, 2007. This amount will remain deferred within AOCI indefinitely, as the event which would trigger its release from AOCI and recognition in earnings is the sale or liquidation of the Company’s international operations that the cross-currency swap hedged. The Company currently has no intent to sell or liquidate this portion of its business operations.
