Note 8. Financial Instruments


The Company uses an interest rate swap, which expires July 8, 2014, to manage its interest rate exposure at One Earth by fixing the interest rate on a portion of the entity’s variable rate debt. The Company does not engage in trading activities involving derivative contracts for which a lack of marketplace quotations would necessitate the use of fair value estimation techniques. The notional amount and fair value of the derivative, which is not designated as a cash flow hedge at October 31, 2013, are summarized in the table below (amounts in thousands):


    Notional
Amount 		    Fair Value
Liability 		 
                 
Interest rate swap   $ 34,563     $ 1,540  

As the interest rate swap is not designated as a cash flow hedge, the unrealized gain and loss on the derivative is reported in current earnings. The Company reported losses of $23,000 and $140,000 in the third quarter of fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company reported losses of $29,000 and $366,000 in the first nine months of fiscal years 2013 and 2012, respectively.
