Derivative Financial Instruments

Interest Rate Swaps

From time to time as dictated by market opportunities, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements designed to

manage exposure to interest rates on the Company’s variable rate indebtedness. The Company recognizes all derivatives on its balance sheet at fair value. The Company has designated its interest rate swap agreements, including those that are forward-dated, as cash flow hedges, and changes in the fair value of the swaps are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged items are recognized in earnings. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, associated with the swaps will be reported by the Company in interest expense.

The Company

’s effective swap agreements convert the base borrowing rate on

$75

million of debt due under our revolving credit agreement from a variable rate equal to LIBOR to a weighted average fixed rate of

1.74%

December 31, 2017.

The fair value of the swaps, recognized in accrued expenses and in other comprehensive income, is as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

Effective Date	Notional Amount		Fixed Interest Rate		Maturity	December 31 , 2017			June 30, 2017
December 19, 2014		20,000		1.18%	December 19, 2017	$	-		$	8
December 19, 2014		5,000		1.20%	December 19, 2017		-			1

The Company reported

losses for the

three

and

six

months ended

December 31, 2017,

as a result of hedge ineffectiveness. Future changes in these swap arrangements, including termination of the agreements,

may

result in a reclassification of any gain or loss reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings as an adjustment to interest expense. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to these instruments is being amortized into interest expense concurrent with the hedged exposure.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

Forward foreign currency exchange contracts are used to limit the impact of currency fluctuations on certain anticipated foreign cash flows, such as

collections from customers and loan payments between subsidiaries. The Company enters into such contracts for hedging purposes only. The Company has designated certain of these currency contracts as hedges, and changes in the fair value of these contracts are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged items are recognized in earnings. Hedge ineffectiveness, if any, associated with these contracts will be reported in net income. At

December 31, 2017

and

June 30, 2017,

the Company had outstanding forward contracts related to hedges of intercompany loans with net unrealized gain (losses) of $(

5.1

) million and $(

2.8

) million, respectively, which approximate the unrealized gains and losses on the related loans. The contracts have maturity dates ranging from

2018

2023,

which correspond to the related intercompany loans. The notional amounts of the Company’s forward contracts, by currency, are as follows:
