the FASB issued ASU

2017

Derivatives and Hedging (Topic

815

); Targeting Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities

, which improves the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements and to make certain targeted improvements to simplify the application of hedge accounting guidance. Given the improvements made to the application of hedge accounting under the guidance, the Company has decided to early adopt the ASU in the

second

quarter of fiscal

2019,

or on

December 1, 2018.

As of the adoption date, the Company had both foreign currency swaps and interest rate swaps which are designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges with

hedge ineffectiveness historically recorded. As the Company had historically determined its foreign currency exchange contracts and interest rate swaps to be perfectly effective it did

not

record any hedge ineffectiveness in earnings related to the swaps historically or on the initial application date. Therefore, there is

cumulative-effect adjustment necessary to apply this change in accounting principle. In addition to the above, the Company reviewed the ASU and identified

other provisions of the standard which would result in a quantitative impact as a result of applying the new guidance.

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

$85

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

2.11%

March 31, 2019.

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	March 31, 201 9			June 30, 2018
December 18, 2015		15,000		1.46	%	December 19, 2018		-			55
December 19, 2015		10,000		2.01	%	December 19, 2019		32			74
May 24, 2017		25,000		1.88	%	April 24, 2022		220			764
May 24, 2017		25,000		1.67	%	May 24, 2020		203			432
August 6, 2018		25,000		2.83	%	August 6, 2023		(721	)		-

The Company reported

losses for the

three

and

nine

months ended

March 31, 2019,

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

March 31, 2019

and

June 30, 2018,

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

3.7

) million and $(

2.9

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

2019

2023,

which correspond to the related intercompany loans.

Net Investment Hedges

During the

third

quarter of

2019,

the Company entered into a foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the exposure to a portion of the Company’s net investments in certain non-U.S. subsidiaries against the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on the translation of foreign currency balances to the U.S. dollar. The change in the fair value of the net investment hedges attributable to changes other than those due to fluctuations in the spot rate are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and that difference is reported directly in earnings. The interest rate differential of the net investment hedges will be excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness and amortized linearly to earnings over the life of the derivative. Any difference between the change in fair value of the excluded component and amounts recognized in earnings under that systematic and rational method shall be recognized in other comprehensive income.

For the derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as net investment hedges, gains and losses are reported in other comprehensive loss where they offset gains and losses recorded on the Company’s net investments in its non-U.S. subsidiaries. These hedges are determined to be effective. During the

three

and

nine

months ended

March 31, 2019,

the Company recognized

$0.4

million of gains associated with hedges of a net investment in non-U.S. subsidiaries in currency translation adjustment in other comprehensive loss. The contractual amount of the Company’s foreign currency forward contracts that are designated as net investment hedges is

$120.0

million as of

March 31, 2019.

The notional amounts of the Company’s forward contracts, by currency, are as follows:
