DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
NOTE 2 — DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
     We use foreign currency exchange forward contracts, or “Foreign Exchange Contracts,” to manage the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to certain balance sheet accounts. We enter into the Foreign Exchange Contracts in Canada primarily to mitigate risk related to non-functional currency exposures. These Foreign Exchange Contracts are not designated as hedges and are recorded at fair value using quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets. The changes in the fair value are recognized in operating, general and administrative expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
     At July 31, 2011, we had Foreign Exchange Contracts outstanding with a notional amount of $10.0 million, which represents the amount of foreign currencies to be purchased or sold at maturity and does not represent our exposure on these contracts. The fair value of the liability related to these Foreign Exchange Contracts, included in other current liabilities, was immaterial at July 31, 2011, and August 1, 2010. The fair value of the receivable related to these Foreign Exchange Contracts, included in prepaid expenses and other current assets, was also immaterial at January 30, 2011. We recorded immaterial losses on Foreign Exchange Contracts during the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 31, 2011, and August 1, 2010.
