Autodesk applies fair value accounting for certain financial assets and liabilities, which consist of cash equivalents, marketable securities and other financial instruments, on a recurring basis. The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

A reconciliation of the change in Autodesk’s Level 3 items for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020 was as follows:

Included in “Interest and other expense, net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

As of January 31, 2020 and 2019, Autodesk had no material unrealized losses, individually and in the aggregate, for securities that are in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than twelve months.

There was no gain or loss for the sale or redemption of securities during fiscal 2020. The sales or redemptions of securities in fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 resulted in a loss of $1.3 million, and $0.3 million, respectively. The losses were recorded in "Interest and other expense, net" on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Proceeds from the sale and maturity of marketable securities for fiscal 2020, fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018 were $27.4 million, $531.0 million and $1.08 billion, respectively.

Non-marketable equity securities
    
As of January 31, 2020 and 2019, Autodesk had $122.5 million and $111.6 million in direct investments in privately held companies. These non-marketable equity security investments do not have readily determined fair values and Autodesk uses the measurement alternative to account for the adjustment to these investments in a given quarter. During the fiscal years ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, Autodesk recorded an upward adjustment on certain of its privately held investments, reflected as a gain in "Interest and other expense, net" on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations of $3.2 million and $6.2 million, respectively. As of January 31, 2020, Autodesk has recorded $9.4 million in cumulative upward adjustments on certain of its privately held investments.

If Autodesk determines that an impairment has occurred, Autodesk writes down the investment to its fair value. During fiscal 2020, fiscal 2019 and fiscal 2018, Autodesk recorded $4.2 million, $4.8 million and $15.5 million, respectively, in impairments and negative adjustments on its privately held investments, reflected as a loss in "Interest and other expense, net" on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of January 31, 2020, Autodesk has recorded $9.0 million in cumulative impairments and negative adjustments on its privately held investments. Autodesk does not consider the remaining investments to be impaired at January 31, 2020.

Foreign currency contracts designated as cash flow hedges

Autodesk uses foreign currency contracts to reduce the exchange rate impact on a portion of the net revenue or operating expense of certain anticipated transactions. These currency collars and forward contracts are designated and documented as cash flow hedges. The notional amounts of these contracts are presented net settled and were $981.3 million at January 31, 2020, and $803.5 million at January 31, 2019. Outstanding contracts are recognized as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheet at fair value. The majority of the net gain of $8.4 million remaining in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” as of January 31, 2020, is expected to be recognized into earnings within the next twenty-four months.

The location and amount of gain or loss recognized in income on cash flow hedges together with the total amount of income or expense presented in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations where the effects of the hedge are recorded were as follows for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2020:

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

Autodesk uses foreign currency contracts that are not designated as hedging instruments to reduce the exchange rate risk associated primarily with foreign currency denominated receivables, payables, and cash. The notional amounts of these foreign currency contracts are presented net settled and were $736.2 million at January 31, 2020, and $579.8 million at January 31, 2019.
