NOTE 10 – DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company addresses certain financial exposures that include the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates. As of January 31, 2023, the Company's net forward contracts hedging portfolio designated as qualified cash flow hedging instruments consisted of 3.0 million Euros equivalent with various expiry dates ranging through February 24, 2023. The net gain or loss on the derivatives is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) and reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings using the same revenue or expense category that the hedged item impacted. The Company also enters into foreign currency forward contracts not designated as qualified hedges in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. As of January 31, 2023, the Company’s net forward contracts hedging portfolio not designated as qualified hedges consisted of 14.7 million Chinese Yuan equivalent, 30.0 million Swiss Francs equivalent, 15.7 million US dollars equivalent, 19.8 million Euros equivalent and 0.6 million British Pounds equivalent with various expiry dates ranging through June 1, 2023. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are recognized in earnings in the period they arise. Net gains or losses related to these forward contracts are included in cost of sales, selling and general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The cash flows related to these foreign currency contracts are classified in operating activities.
