[1] The Partnership uses derivatives to assist in managing its exposure to interest rate risk. Based on interest rates at September 30, 2011, the amount of losses related to cash flow hedges reported in accumulated other comprehensive income that will be reclassified to net income within the next 3 months when the debt and associated hedges mature is $3.4 million, which will be offset by a reduction to interest expense of a similar amount.
