For the fiscal periods presented, foreign exchange contracts were determined to be highly effective. We have excluded from the assessment of effectiveness differences between spot and forward rates, which we have determined to be immaterial.

In connection with the Merger, we closed all commodity derivative contracts on September 26, 2013. As a result, we did not recognize gain or losses during the Successor period September 27 - October 27, 2013 on closed commodity derivative contracts. We recognized gains of $2.0 million during the Predecessor period July 29 - September 26, 2013 and $1.1 million for the three months ended October 28, 2012 on closed commodity derivative contracts as the underlying cash transactions affected earnings. We recognized gains of $4.1 million during the Predecessor period April 29 - September 26, 2013, and $4.5 million for the six months ended October 28, 2012 on closed commodity derivative contracts as the underlying cash transactions affected earnings. 
For fair value hedges of inventory, we elect to exclude from the assessment of effectiveness differences between the spot and futures prices. These differences are recorded directly into earnings as they occur. These differences resulted in losses of $1.2 million for the three months ended October 28, 2012 and losses of $7.5 million for the six months ended October 28, 2012. There were no fair value hedges of inventory during the six months ended October 27, 2013, and therefore no differences between spot and futures prices were recognized during the Successor period ended October 27, 2013 nor during the Predecessor period April 29 - September 26, 2013.

The tables above reflect gains and losses from both open and closed contracts including, among other things, gains and losses related to contracts designed to hedge price movements that occur entirely within a quarter. The tables include amounts for both realized and unrealized gains and losses. The tables are not, therefore, simple representations of unrealized gains and losses recognized in the income statement during any period presented.
