This excerpt taken from the DIS 10-K filed Dec 2, 2009. Value at Risk (VAR) The Company utilizes a VAR model to estimate the maximum potential one-day loss in the fair value of its interest rate, foreign exchange, and market sensitive equity financial instruments. The VAR model estimates were made assuming normal market conditions and a 95% confidence level. Various modeling techniques can be used in a VAR computation. The Companys computations are based on the interrelationships between movements in various interest rates, currencies, and equity prices (a variance/co-variance technique). These interrelationships were determined by observing interest rate, foreign currency, and equity market changes over the preceding quarter for the calculation of VAR amounts at fiscal year end. The model includes all of the Companys debt as well as all interest rate and foreign exchange derivative contracts and market sensitive equity investments. Forecasted transactions, firm commitments, and receivables and accounts payable denominated in foreign currencies, which certain of these instruments are intended to hedge, were excluded from the model. The VAR model is a risk analysis tool and does not purport to represent actual losses in fair value that will be incurred by the Company, nor does it consider the potential effect of favorable changes in market factors. VAR on a combined basis decreased to $34 million at October 3, 2009 from $68 million at September 27, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to increased diversification benefits across financial instruments and lower volatility of interest rates and foreign exchange rates.

The Company utilizes a VAR model to estimate the
maximum potential one-day loss in the fair value of its interest
rate, foreign exchange and market sensitive equity financial
instruments. The VAR model estimates were made assuming normal
market conditions and a 95% confidence level. Various modeling
techniques can be used in a VAR computation. The Companys
computations are based on the interrelationships between
movements in various interest rates, currencies and equity
prices (a variance/co-variance technique). These
interrelationships were determined by observing interest rate,
foreign currency and equity market changes over the preceding
quarter for the calculation of VAR amounts at year end fiscal
2005. The model includes all of the Companys debt as well
as all interest rate and foreign exchange derivative contracts
and market sensitive equity investments. Forecasted
transactions, firm commitments and receivables and accounts
payable denominated in foreign currencies, which certain of
these instruments are intended to hedge, were excluded from the
model.
The VAR model is a risk analysis tool and does not purport to represent actual losses in fair value that will be incurred by the Company, nor does it consider the potential effect of favorable changes in market factors. -63-
VAR on a combined basis decreased from $31 million at September 30, 2004 to $21 million at October 1, 2005. The majority of the decrease is due to lower volatility and a lower market value of interest rate sensitive instruments. The estimated maximum potential one-day loss in fair value, calculated using the VAR model, is as follows (unaudited, in millions):
The VAR for Euro Disney and Hong Kong Disneyland is immaterial as of October 1, 2005.
