In addition, accumulated other comprehensive income included gains, net of related income tax effects of $2.0 million and $2.4 million at August 31, 201 3 and 201 2, respectively, related to derivative contracts designated as hedging instruments. Cash Flow Hedging Relationships In order to reduce interest rate risk on the BSI Term Note, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement wit h Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. that was designed to effectively convert or hedge the variable interest rate on the entire amount of this borrowing to achieve a net fixed rate of 6.05 percent per annum. Under the terms of the interest rate swap, the Company received variable interest rate payments and made fixed interest rate payments on an amount equal to the outstanding balance of the BSI Term Note (see Note K, Credit Arrangements). Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap designated as the hedging instrument that effectively offset the variability of cash flows associated with the variable-rate, long-term debt obligation are reported in AOCI, net of related income tax effects. In order to reduce exposures related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company, at times, may enter into forward exchange or option contracts for transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency for certain of its operations. This activity primarily relates to economically hedging against foreign currency risk in purchasing inventory, sales of finished goods, and future settlement of foreign denominated assets and liabilities. Changes in fair value of the forward exchange contracts or option contracts designated as hedging instruments that effectively offset the hedged risks are reported in AOCI, net of related income tax effects. Net Investment Hedging Relationships In order to reduce translation exposure resulting from translating the financial statements of its international subsidiaries into U.S. dollars, the Company, at times, utilizes Euro foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of its Euro net investment exposure in its foreign operations. These foreign currency forward contracts qualify as a hedge of net investments in foreign operations. Changes in fair value of the net investment hedge contracts are reported in OCI as part of the currency translation adjustment, net of tax.
