Following is a discussion regarding the Company’s use of financial instruments:

Hedging Activities – As of December 31, 2013, the notional amount of foreign currency hedge positions was approximately $1.6 billion while commodity hedge contracts totaled approximately 73 million pounds ($210 million) of copper and aluminum. All derivatives receiving deferral accounting are cash flow hedges. The majority of hedging gains and losses deferred as of December 31, 2013 are expected to be recognized over the next 12 months as the underlying forecasted transactions occur. Gains and losses on foreign currency derivatives reported in other deductions, net reflect hedges of balance sheet exposures that do not receive deferral accounting. The following gains and losses are included in earnings and other comprehensive income (OCI) for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 (in millions):



		Into Earnings 1st Quarter					Into OCI 1st Quarter
Gains (Losses)	Location	2012			2013		2012		2013
Commodity	Cost of sales	$	(3	)	(3	)	(5	)	2
Foreign currency	Sales, cost of sales	4			2		2		1
Foreign currency	Other deductions, net	9			(2	)
Total		$	10		(3	)	(3	)	3

Regardless of whether derivatives receive deferral accounting, the Company expects hedging gains or losses to be essentially offset by losses or gains on the related underlying exposures. The amounts ultimately recognized will differ from those presented above for open positions, which remain subject to ongoing market price fluctuations until settlement. Derivatives receiving deferral accounting are highly effective and no amounts were excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Hedge ineffectiveness was immaterial for the three months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

Fair Value Measurements – Valuations for all derivatives and the Company's long-term debt fall within Level 2 of the GAAP valuation hierarchy.
