| (1) |  | Amounts represent the gross fair value of derivative assets and liabilities. The Company nets the derivative assets and liabilities for each of its hedging programs, including cash collateral, when a master netting arrangement exists between the Company and the counterparty to the derivative contract. The amount or timing of cash collateral balances may impact the classification of the derivative in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. See Note M for a discussion of these net amounts as reported in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.

| (1) |  | Amounts represent gains or losses in AOCL before tax. See Note J for the after tax impact of these gains or losses on net earnings.
| (2) |  | There were no gains or losses excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness during the fiscal year. Fiscal year 2015 includes the mark-to-market impact on certain corn futures contracts which resulted from a temporary suspension of hedge accounting due to market volatility.
| (3) |  | Amounts represent losses on commodity contracts designated as fair value hedges that were closed during the fiscal year, which were offset by a corresponding gain on the underlying hedged purchase commitment. Additional gains or losses related to changes in the fair value of open commodity contracts, along with the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged purchase commitment, are also marked-to-market through earnings with no impact on a net basis.
| (4) |  | There were no gains or losses resulting from the discontinuance of cash flow hedges during the fiscal year.
| (5) |  | There were no gains or losses recognized as a result of a hedged firm commitment no longer qualifying as a fair value hedge during the fiscal year.
