14. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Company is exposed to certain risks relating to its ongoing business operations. The primary risks managed by using derivative instruments are commodity price risk, currency exchange, and interest rate risk. Forward contracts on certain commodities are entered into to manage the price risk associated with forecasted purchases of materials used in the Company's manufacturing process. Forward contracts on certain currencies are entered into to manage forecasted cash flows in certain foreign currencies. Interest rate swaps are entered into to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company's floating rate borrowings.

The Company must recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company designates commodity forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted purchases of commodities, currency forward contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted foreign currency cash flows and interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of forecasted LIBOR-based interest payments. There were no significant collateral deposits on derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2012.

Cash flow hedges

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of other comprehensive income or loss and reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or changes in market value of derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized in current earnings.

At March 31, 2012, the Company had an additional ($0.7) million, net of tax, of derivative losses on closed hedge instruments in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) ("AOCI") that will be realized in earnings when the hedged items impact earnings. At April 2, 2011, the Company had an additional $5.8 million, net of tax, of derivative gains on closed hedge instruments in AOCI that was realized in earnings when the hedged items impacted earnings.

As of March 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding the following commodity forward contracts (with maturities extending through June 2013) to hedge forecasted purchases of commodities (notional amounts expressed in terms of the dollar value of the hedged item in millions):
