Market Risk
Market risks relating to our operations include changes in interest rates and changes in foreign exchange rates. We enter into interest rate swaps to minimize the risk and costs associated with financing activities, as well as to attain an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate debt. The swap agreements are contracts to exchange fixed or variable rates for variable or fixed interest rate payments periodically over the life of the instruments. The following tables provide information about our derivative financial instruments and other financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For debt obligations, the table presents principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates. For interest rate swaps, the table presents notional amounts and interest rates by contractual maturity dates. The applicable floating rate index is included for variable rate instruments. All amounts are stated in United States dollar equivalents.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company terminated certain cross currency instruments that hedged portions of the Companys investments in Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom. The instruments terminated had notional amounts of $6.7 billion. The Company received $1.1 billion in cash related to the fair value of the instruments at the time of the terminations. Prior to the terminations, these instruments were classified as net investment hedges and were recorded at fair value as current assets on the balance sheet with a like amount recorded in the shareholders equity section of the balance sheet in line "other accumulated comprehensive income." No gain related to the terminations was recorded in the Companys income statement.
We routinely enter into forward currency exchange contracts in the regular course of business to manage our exposure against foreign currency fluctuations on cross-border purchases of inventory. These contracts are generally for durations of six months or less. At January 31, 2002 and 2001, we held contracts to purchase and sell various currencies with notional amounts of $118 million and $292 million, respectively, and net fair values of $0 and $6 million, respectively. The fair values of the currency swap agreements are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets within the line "other assets and deferred charges."
On February 1, 2001, we adopted SFAS 133 pertaining to the accounting for derivatives and hedging activities. SFAS 133 requires all derivatives to be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and establishes accounting treatment for three types of hedges: hedges of changes in the fair value of assets, liabilities, or firm commitments; hedges of the variable cash flows of forecasted transactions; and hedges of foreign currency exposures of net investments in foreign operations. At the date of adoption, the majority of our derivatives were hedges of net investments in foreign operations, and as such, the fair value of these derivatives had been recorded on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities and on the balance sheet in other accumulated comprehensive income under the previous accounting guidance. As the majority of our derivative portfolio had already been recorded on the balance

sheet, adoption of SFAS 133 did not materially impact our Consolidated Financial Statements taken as a whole. However, certain swap cash flows amounting to $86 million in fiscal 2002, which would have been recorded in the income statement under the previous accounting guidance, were recorded on the balance sheet in other accumulated comprehensive income. In fiscal 2001, prior to the adoption of SFAS 133, the Company recorded $112 million of earnings benefit in the income statement from the receipt of similar cash flows. Under Statement 133, cash flows from fixed to variable interest rate swaps continue to be recorded in the interest expense line of the income statement. For fiscal 2002, the effects of fixed to variable interest rate swaps reduced interest expense by $62 million. Management is uncertain of the future impacts of the Companys fixed to variable interest rate swaps on interest expense.
With the adoption of SFAS 133 and the termination of a significant portion of Companys net investment hedges, the Company is currently reevaluating its hedging strategy regarding its net investment in overseas operations.
