CY2010Q1 unp Description Of Accounting For Termination Of Interest Rate Fair Value Hedge
DescriptionOfAccountingForTerminationOfInterestRateFairValueHedge
On February 25, 2010, we elected to terminate an interest rate swap agreement with a notional amount of $250 million prior to the scheduled maturity and received cash of $20 million (which is comprised of $16 million for the fair value of the swap that was terminated and $4 million of accrued but unpaid interest receivable). We designated the swap agreement as a fair value hedge, and as such the unamortized adjustment to debt for the change in fair value of the swap remains classified as debt due after one year in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and will be amortized as a reduction to interest expense through April 15, 2012. As of September 30, 2010, we do not have any interest rate fair value hedges outstanding.
