Foreign Currency Forward Contracts
Due to the global nature of our operations, portions of our revenues are earned in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The value of revenues measured in U.S. dollars is therefore subject to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. In order to mitigate these changes we use foreign currency forward contracts to lock in exchange rates associated with a portion of our forecasted international revenues.
Foreign currency forward contracts in effect as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 had durations of 1 to 12 months. These contracts have been designated as cash flow hedges and accordingly, to the extent effective, any unrealized gains or losses on these foreign currency forward contracts are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Realized gains and losses for the effective portion of such contracts are recognized in revenue when the sale of product in the currency being hedged is recognized. To the extent ineffective, hedge transaction gains and losses are reported in other income (expense), net.
The notional value of foreign currency forward contracts that were entered into to hedge forecasted revenues is summarized as follows:

The portion of the fair value of these foreign currency forward contracts that was included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within total equity reflected losses of $11.8 million, gains of $36.5 million and losses of $11.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We expect all contracts to be settled over the next 12 months and any amounts in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to be reported as an adjustment to revenue. We consider the impact of our and our counterparties’ credit risk on the fair value of the contracts as well as the ability of each party to execute its contractual obligations. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, credit risk did not materially change the fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts.
In relation to our foreign currency forward contracts, due to hedge ineffectiveness we recognized in other income (expense) net gains of $4.8 million, net losses of $3.9 million, and net gains of $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively.
In addition, we recognized in product revenue net gains of $35.1 million, net losses of $36.9 million, and net gains of $45.7 million, for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively, for the settlement of certain effective cash flow hedge instruments. These settlements were recorded in the same period as the related forecasted revenues.

Other Derivatives
We also enter into other foreign currency forward contracts, usually with one month durations, to mitigate the foreign currency risk related to certain balance sheet positions. We have not elected hedge accounting for these transactions.
The aggregate notional amount of these other outstanding foreign currency contracts was $243.2 million and $263.7 million as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The fair value of these contracts was a net liability of $1.7 million as of December 31, 2012 compared to a net asset of $6.4 million as of December 31, 2011. Net gains of $4.2 million and $12.1 million related to these contracts were recognized as a component of other income (expense), net, for years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
