NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions, except per share)


Note 1.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of the results for interim periods have been included.  Results for interim periods should not be considered indicative of results for a full year.  These interim Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto contained in the company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, collectively referred to as the “2012 Annual Report”.  The Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the company and all of its subsidiaries in which a controlling interest is maintained, as well as variable interest entities for which DuPont is the primary beneficiary. 

Basis of Presentation
Certain reclassifications of prior year's data have been made to conform to current year's presentation, including separately stating cost of goods sold and other operating charges on the interim Consolidated Income Statements. In the third quarter 2012, the company signed a definitive agreement to sell its Performance Coatings business (which represented a reportable segment). In accordance with GAAP, the results of Performance Coatings are presented as discontinued operations and, as such, have been excluded from continuing operations and segment results for all periods presented. The sum of the individual earnings per share amounts from continuing and discontinued operations may not equal the total company earnings per share amounts due to rounding. The assets and liabilities of Performance Coatings at December 31, 2012 are presented as held for sale in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The cash flows and comprehensive income related to Performance Coatings have not been segregated and are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Comprehensive Income, respectively, for all periods presented. Amounts related to Performance Coatings are consistently included in or excluded from the Notes to the interim Consolidated Financial Statements based on the financial statement line item and period of each disclosure. See Note 2 for additional information.

Change in Accounting Policy
Effective January 1, 2013, the company changed its method of valuing inventory held at a majority of its foreign and certain United States locations from the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to the average cost method. The company believes that the average cost method is preferable to the LIFO method as it more clearly aligns with how the company actually manages its inventory and will improve financial reporting by better matching revenues and expenses. In addition, the change from LIFO to average cost will enhance the comparability of our financial results with our peer companies. As described in the guidance for accounting changes, the comparative interim Consolidated Financial Statements of prior periods are adjusted to apply the new accounting method retrospectively.

The following line items within the interim Consolidated Income Statements were affected by the change in accounting policy:

Note 2. Discontinued Operations
In February 2013, the company sold its Performance Coatings business to Flash Bermuda Co. Ltd., a Bermuda exempted limited liability company formed by affiliates of The Carlyle Group (collectively referred to as "Carlyle"). The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of $2,682 ($1,943 net of tax). The gain was recorded in income from discontinued operations after income taxes in the company's interim Consolidated Income Statements for the six-months ended June 30, 2013.

The company routinely uses foreign currency exchange contracts to offset its net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities. The objective of this program is to maintain an approximately balanced position in foreign currencies in order to minimize, on an after-tax basis, the effects of exchange rate changes on net monetary asset positions. The net pre-tax exchange gains (losses) are recorded in other income, net and the related tax impact is recorded in provision for income taxes on continuing operations on the interim Consolidated Income Statements. The $35 and $46 net exchange gain for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, includes a $3 exchange gain and a $(33) exchange (loss), respectively, associated with the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar.

Miscellaneous income and expenses, net, generally includes interest items, insurance recoveries, litigation settlements and other items.

Note 5.  Income Taxes 
In the second quarter 2013, the company recorded a tax provision on continuing operations of $335, including $16 of tax expense primarily associated with the company’s policy of hedging the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations. Included in the provision was $49 of tax expense related to a change in accrual for a prior year tax position and a $33 tax benefit related to an enacted foreign tax law change.

Year-to-date 2013, the company recorded a tax provision on continuing operations of $722, including $50 of tax expense primarily associated with the company’s policy of hedging the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations. Included in the provision were the second quarter 2013 items noted above and a $68 tax benefit derived from the 2013 extension of certain U.S. business tax provisions offset by $26 of tax expense related to the global distribution of the proceeds from the sale of the Performance Coatings business.

In the second quarter 2012, the company recorded a tax provision on continuing operations of $397, including $60 of tax expense primarily associated with the company’s policy of hedging the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations.

Year-to-date 2012, the company recorded a tax provision on continuing operations of $789, including $23 of tax expense primarily associated with the company’s policy of hedging the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations.

Each year the company files hundreds of tax returns in the various national, state and local income taxing jurisdictions in which it operates. These tax returns are subject to examination and possible challenge by the taxing authorities. Positions challenged by the taxing authorities may be settled or appealed by the company. As a result, there is an uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the company’s financial statements in accordance with accounting for income taxes and accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. It is reasonably possible that changes to the company’s global unrecognized tax benefits could be significant, however, due to the uncertainty regarding the timing of completion of audits and possible outcomes, a current estimate of the range of increases or decreases that may occur within the next twelve months cannot be made.

Microbial cell factories, derived from natural microbes, are used to sustainably produce enzymes, peptides and chemicals using natural metabolic processes. The company recognized the microbial cell factories as an intangible asset upon the acquisition of Danisco. This intangible asset is expected to contribute to cash flows beyond the foreseeable future and there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, or other factors which limit its useful life.
3  
Pioneer germplasm is the pool of genetic source material and body of knowledge gained from the development and delivery stage of plant breeding. The company recognized germplasm as an intangible asset upon the acquisition of Pioneer. This intangible asset is expected to contribute to cash flows beyond the foreseeable future and there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, or other factors which limit its useful life.       

The aggregate pre-tax amortization expense from continuing operations for definite-lived intangible assets was $87 and $193 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, and $85 and $184 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. The estimated aggregate pre-tax amortization expense from continuing operations for the remainder of 2013 and each of the next five years is approximately $110, $335, $353, $306, $174 and $169, respectively, which are primarily reported in cost of goods sold.

Note 9.  Commitments and Contingent Liabilities 
Guarantees 
Indemnifications
In connection with acquisitions and divestitures, the company has indemnified respective parties against certain liabilities that may arise in connection with these transactions and business activities prior to the completion of the transaction. The term of these indemnifications, which typically pertain to environmental, tax and product liabilities, is generally indefinite. In addition, the company indemnifies its duly elected or appointed directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law, against liabilities incurred as a result of their activities for the company, such as adverse judgments relating to litigation matters. If the indemnified party were to incur a liability or have a liability increase as a result of a successful claim, pursuant to the terms of the indemnification, the company would be required to reimburse the indemnified party. The maximum amount of potential future payments is generally unlimited. The carrying amounts recorded for all indemnifications was $34 and $31 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Obligations for Equity Affiliates & Others 
The company has directly guaranteed various debt obligations under agreements with third parties related to equity affiliates, customers and suppliers. At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the company had directly guaranteed $499 and $535, respectively, of such obligations. These amounts represent the maximum potential amount of future (undiscounted) payments that the company could be required to make under the guarantees. The company would be required to perform on these guarantees in the event of default by the guaranteed party.

The company assesses the payment/performance risk by assigning default rates based on the duration of the guarantees. These default rates are assigned based on the external credit rating of the counterparty or through internal credit analysis and historical default history for counterparties that do not have published credit ratings. For counterparties without an external rating or available credit history, a cumulative average default rate is used.

In certain cases, the company has recourse to assets held as collateral, as well as personal guarantees from customers and suppliers. Assuming liquidation, these assets are estimated to cover approximately 48 percent of the $316 of guaranteed obligations of customers and suppliers. Set forth below are the company's guaranteed obligations at June 30, 2013:

Imprelis® 
The company has received claims and been served with multiple lawsuits alleging that the use of Imprelis® herbicide caused damage to certain trees. Sales of Imprelis® were suspended in August 2011 and the product was last applied during the 2011 spring application season. The lawsuits seeking class action status have been consolidated in multidistrict litigation in federal court in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

In February 2013, the court granted preliminary approval of a class action settlement. The settlement incorporates the company's existing claims process and provides certain additional relief. The proposed settlement class includes affected property owners and lawn care companies who do not "opt out" of the settlement. As part of the settlement, DuPont will pay about $7 in plaintiffs' attorney fees and expenses. In addition, DuPont is providing a warranty against new damage, if any, caused by the use of Imprelis® on class members' properties through May 2015. The settlement notification process began on March 25, 2013 and ended on June 28, 2013 which was also the last day to “opt out” of the settlement or file a new claim. DuPont will not exercise its right to cancel the settlement based on the number of opt-outs. The court has scheduled the final approval hearing on September 27, 2013. In addition, about 115 individual actions encompassing about 385 claims for property damage have been filed in state court in various jurisdictions. DuPont has removed most of these cases to federal court in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Once removed to federal court, the individual actions are stayed through September 2013.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions, except per share)


The company has established review processes to verify and evaluate damage claims. There are several variables that impact the evaluation process including the number of trees on a property, the species of tree with reported damage, the height of the tree, the extent of damage and the possibility for trees to naturally recover over time. Upon receiving claims, DuPont verifies their accuracy and validity which often requires physical review of the property.

At June 30, 2013, DuPont had recorded charges of $865 to resolve these claims, which included charges of $80 and $115 recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively. The company currently estimates that total charges could be about $900; however, there is a high degree of uncertainty. Predicting the impact of Imprelis® on living organisms and how those organisms may react over time as well as variability regarding the extended warranty period under the class action settlement are significant factors driving the uncertainty of future charges. Imprelis® was applied throughout the United States and the ability of any particular species of tree to naturally recover over time may be different depending on the property's geography and associated climate. The company has an applicable insurance program with a deductible equal to the first $100 of costs and expenses. The insurance program limits are $725 for costs and expenses in excess of the $100. DuPont has submitted and will continue to submit requests for payment to its insurance carriers for costs associated with this matter. The process of seeking insurance recovery is ongoing and the timing and outcome are uncertain.

Litigation
The company is subject to various legal proceedings arising out of the normal course of its business including product liability, intellectual property, commercial, environmental and antitrust lawsuits. It is not possible to predict the outcome of these various proceedings. Except as otherwise noted, management does not anticipate their resolution will have a materially adverse effect on the company's consolidated financial position or liquidity.  However, the ultimate liabilities could be significant to results of operations in the period recognized.  

PFOA 
DuPont used PFOA (collectively, perfluorooctanoic acids and its salts, including the ammonium salt), as a processing aid to manufacture some fluoropolymer resins at various sites around the world including its Washington Works plant in West Virginia. At June 30, 2013, DuPont has accruals of $15 related to the PFOA matters discussed below.

The accrual includes charges related to DuPont's obligations under agreements with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and voluntary commitments to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.  These obligations include surveying, sampling and testing drinking water in and around certain company sites and offering treatment or an alternative supply of drinking water if tests indicate the presence of PFOA in drinking water at or greater than the national Provisional Health Advisory.

Drinking Water Actions
In August 2001, a class action, captioned Leach v DuPont, was filed in West Virginia state court alleging that residents living near the Washington Works facility had suffered, or may suffer, deleterious health effects from exposure to PFOA in drinking water.

DuPont and attorneys for the class reached a settlement in 2004 that binds about 80,000 residents. In 2005, DuPont paid the plaintiffs’ attorneys’ fees and expenses of $23 and made a payment of $70, which class counsel designated to fund a community health project.  The company funded a series of health studies which were completed in October 2012 by an independent science panel of experts (the “C8 Science Panel”). The studies were conducted in communities exposed to PFOA to evaluate available scientific evidence on whether any probable link exists, as defined in the settlement agreement, between exposure to PFOA and human disease.

The C8 Science Panel found probable links, as defined in the settlement agreement, between exposure to PFOA and pregnancy-induced hypertension, including preeclampsia; kidney cancer; testicular cancer; thyroid disease; ulcerative colitis; and diagnosed high cholesterol.

In May 2013, a panel of three independent medical doctors released its initial recommendations for screening and diagnostic testing of eligible class members. The medical panel is expected to address monitoring and may make additional recommendations in a subsequent report.  The medical panel has not communicated its anticipated schedule for completion.   The company is obligated to fund up to $235 for a medical monitoring program for eligible class members.  In January 2012, the company put $1 in an escrow account to fund medical monitoring as required by the settlement agreement.  The court has appointed a Medical Monitoring Director to implement the medical panel's recommendations who is in the process of setting up a program.  Testing has not yet begun and no money has been disbursed from the fund.  While it is probable that the company will incur losses related to funding the medical monitoring program, such losses cannot be reasonably estimated due to uncertainties surrounding implementation.

In addition, the company must continue to provide water treatment designed to reduce the level of PFOA in water to six area water districts, including the Little Hocking Water Association (LHWA), and private well users.

Additional Actions
An Ohio action brought by the LHWA is ongoing. In addition to general claims of PFOA contamination of drinking water, the action claims “imminent and substantial endangerment to health and or the environment” under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). DuPont denies these claims and is defending itself vigorously.

Class members may pursue personal injury claims against DuPont only for those human diseases for which the C8 Science Panel determined a probable link exists. At June 30, 2013, 44 lawsuits alleging personal injury and 2 lawsuits alleging wrongful death from exposure to PFOA in drinking water are pending in federal court in Ohio and West Virginia. This is an increase in pending cases of 2 and 20 over the first quarter 2013 and year end 2012, respectively. These cases have been consolidated for discovery purposes in multi-district litigation in Ohio federal court. DuPont denies the allegations in these lawsuits and is defending itself vigorously.

While DuPont believes that it is reasonably possible that it could incur losses related to these additional actions, a range of such losses, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.

Monsanto Patent Dispute
On August 1, 2012, a St. Louis, Missouri jury awarded $1,000 in damages to Monsanto on its claims that the company willfully infringed Monsanto's RE 39,247 patent directed to Roundup® Ready® 1 glyphosate herbicide tolerance soybean seed technology.

Monsanto alleged that by combining Pioneer's Optimum® GAT® trait with Monsanto's patented Roundup® Ready® trait, Pioneer violated its 2002 Amended and Restated Roundup® Ready® Soybean License Agreement and, in doing so, infringed Monsanto's RE 39,247 patent. The company has never sold soybeans containing a combination of the Optimum® GAT® and Roundup® Ready® traits and discontinued in 2011 its commercialization efforts for such soybeans.

In March 2013, Pioneer and Monsanto entered into technology license agreements. As part of those agreements, the company received, among other things, a non-exclusive royalty bearing license in the United States and Canada for Monsanto's Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® glyphosate tolerance trait and its dicamba tolerance trait for soybeans, post-patent regulatory access and maintenance support for Roundup Ready® 1 glyphosate tolerance trait for soybeans, Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 glyphosate tolerance trait for corn and YieldGard® corn borer insect resistance trait. The agreements require the company to make a series of up-front and variable payments subject to Monsanto delivering enabling soybean genetic material. Total annual fixed royalty payments of $802 contemplated under the arrangement for trait technology, associated data and soybean lines to support commercial introduction are expected to come due in years 2014 - 2017. Additionally, beginning in 2018, DuPont will pay royalties on a per unit basis related to the Genuity® Roundup Ready 2 Yield® and dicamba tolerance traits for the life of the license, subject to annual minimum payments through 2023 totaling $950.

In a separate agreement, the company agreed to dismiss with prejudice its antitrust claims against Monsanto in exchange for a dismissal with prejudice of Monsanto's patent infringement claims and the related damages verdict. Accordingly, as of the first quarter 2013 this matter was resolved, but for the court-ordered sanctions against the company for “fraud against the court.” The court unsealed the order in November 2012. The parties agreed to present the sanctions and related rulings for immediate appeal and those matters are presently on appeal.

Titanium Dioxide Antitrust Litigation
In February 2010, two suits were filed in Maryland federal district court alleging conspiracy among DuPont, Huntsman International LLC, Kronos Worldwide Inc., Millenium Inorganics Chemicals Inc. and others to fix prices of titanium dioxide sold in the U.S. between March 2002 and the present. The cases were subsequently consolidated and in August 2012, the court certified a class consisting of U.S. customers that have directly purchased titanium dioxide since February 1, 2003. The class seeks injunctive relief and to recover alleged overcharges and treble damages plus attorneys' fees and costs. Jury trial is scheduled to begin September 9, 2013.

The company believes this case is without merit and expects to prevail. Given the inherent uncertainties in litigation, it is reasonably possible that the company could incur losses related to this matter. A range of loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.
Environmental 
The company is also subject to contingencies pursuant to environmental laws and regulations that in the future may require the company to take further action to correct the effects on the environment of prior disposal practices or releases of chemical or petroleum substances by the company or other parties. The company accrues for environmental remediation activities consistent with the policy as described in the company's 2012 Annual Report in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” Much of this liability results from the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA, often referred to as Superfund), RCRA and similar state and global laws. These laws require the company to undertake certain investigative, remediation and restoration activities at sites where the company conducts or once conducted operations or at sites where company-generated waste was disposed. The accrual also includes estimated costs related to a number of sites identified by the company for which it is probable that environmental remediation will be required, but which are not currently the subject of enforcement activities.

Remediation activities vary substantially in duration and cost from site to site. These activities, and their associated costs, depend on the mix of unique site characteristics, evolving remediation technologies, diverse regulatory agencies and enforcement policies, as well as the presence or absence of potentially responsible parties. At June 30, 2013, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet included a liability of $436, relating to these matters and, in management's opinion, is appropriate based on existing facts and circumstances. The average time frame over which the accrued or presently unrecognized amounts may be paid, based on past history, is estimated to be 15-20 years. Considerable uncertainty exists with respect to these costs and, under adverse changes in circumstances, potential liability may range up to three times the amount accrued as of June 30, 2013.

Note 10.  Stockholders’ Equity 
Share Repurchase Program
In December 2012, the company's Board of Directors authorized a $1,000 share buyback plan. In February 2013, the company entered into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement with a financial institution under which the company used $1,000 of the proceeds from the sale of Performance Coatings for the purchase of shares of common stock. The 2012 $1,000 share buyback plan was completed in the second quarter 2013 through the ASR agreement, under which the company purchased and retired 20.4 million shares as of June 30, 2013.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the company paid $400 for the purchase and receipt of shares of common stock. During 2012, the company purchased and retired 7.8 million shares in connection with this agreement. These purchases completed the 2001 $2,000 share buyback plan and began purchases under the 2011 $2,000 share buyback plan authorized by the company's Board of Directors in April 2011. Under the completed 2001 plan, the company purchased a total of 42.0 million shares. Under the 2011 plan, the company has purchased 5.5 million shares at a total cost of $284 as of June 30, 2013. There is no required completion date for the purchases under the 2011 plan.

Noncontrolling Interest
In May 2012, the company completed the acquisition of the remaining 28 percent interest in the Solae, LLC joint venture from Bunge Limited for $447. As the purchase of the remaining interest did not result in a change of control, the difference between the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest of $378 and the consideration paid, net of taxes of $78, was recorded as a $9 increase to additional paid-in capital.

Note 11. Financial Instruments
Debt
The estimated fair value of the company's total debt including interest rate financial instruments was determined using level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, as described in the company's 2012 Annual Report in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” Based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on current rates offered to the company for debt of the same remaining maturities, the fair value of the company's debt was approximately $14,750 and $13,015 as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the issuance in the first quarter 2013 of $1,250 of 2.80% Notes due February 15, 2023 and $750 of 4.15% Notes due February 15, 2043 and an increase in short-term borrowings, partially offset by debt maturities and a decrease in the fair value due to changes in market interest rates during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Cash Equivalents
The fair value of cash equivalents approximates its stated value.  The estimated fair value of the company's cash equivalents was determined using level 1 and level 2 inputs within the fair value hierarchy, as described in the company's 2012 Annual Report in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.”  Level 1 measurements are based on quoted market prices and level 2 measurements are based on current interest rates for similar instruments with comparable credit risk and time to maturity.  The company held $1,334 and $0 of money market funds (level 1 measurements) as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.  The company held $3,467 and $2,026 of other cash equivalents (level 2 measurements) as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.     

Derivative Instruments
Objectives and Strategies for Holding Derivative Instruments
In the ordinary course of business, the company enters into contractual arrangements (derivatives) to reduce its exposure to foreign currency, interest rate and commodity price risks. The company has established a variety of derivative programs to be utilized for financial risk management. These programs reflect varying levels of exposure coverage and time horizons based on an assessment of risk.

Table of Contents
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in millions, except per share)

Derivative programs have procedures and controls and are approved by the Corporate Financial Risk Management Committee, consistent with the company's financial risk management policies and guidelines. Derivative instruments used are forwards, options, futures and swaps. The company has not designated any nonderivatives as hedging instruments.

The company's financial risk management procedures also address counterparty credit approval, limits and routine exposure monitoring and reporting. The counterparties to these contractual arrangements are major financial institutions and major commodity exchanges. The company is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by these counterparties. The company utilizes collateral support annex agreements with certain counterparties to limit its exposure to credit losses. The company's derivative assets and liabilities are reported on a gross basis in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The company anticipates performance by counterparties to these contracts and therefore no material loss is expected. Market and counterparty credit risks associated with these instruments are regularly reported to management.

The notional amounts of the company's derivative instruments were as follows:

Foreign Currency Risk
The company's objective in managing exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility associated with foreign currency rate changes. Accordingly, the company enters into various contracts that change in value as foreign exchange rates change to protect the value of its existing foreign currency-denominated assets, liabilities, commitments and cash flows.

The company routinely uses forward exchange contracts to offset its net exposures, by currency, related to the foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations. The primary business objective of this hedging program is to maintain an approximately balanced position in foreign currencies so that exchange gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes, net of related tax effects, are minimized. The company also uses foreign currency exchange contracts to offset a portion of the company's exposure to certain foreign currency-denominated revenues so that gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the USD value of the related foreign currency-denominated revenues. The objective of the hedge program is to reduce earnings and cash flow volatility related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest Rate Risk
The company uses interest rate swaps to manage the interest rate mix of the total debt portfolio and related overall cost of borrowing. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of fixed for floating rate interest payments to effectively convert fixed rate debt into floating rate debt based on USD LIBOR. Interest rate swaps allow the company to achieve a target range of floating rate debt.

Commodity Price Risk
Commodity price risk management programs serve to reduce exposure to price fluctuations on purchases of inventory such as copper, corn, soybeans and soybean meal. The company enters into over-the-counter and exchange-traded derivative commodity instruments to hedge the commodity price risk associated with energy feedstock and agricultural commodity exposures.

Fair Value Hedges
Interest Rate Swaps
At June 30, 2013, the company maintained a number of interest rate swaps, which were implemented at the time debt instruments were issued. All interest rate swaps qualify for the shortcut method of hedge accounting, thus there is no ineffectiveness related to these hedges.

Cash Flow Hedges
Foreign Currency Contracts
The company uses foreign currency exchange instruments such as forwards and options to offset a portion of the company's exposure to certain foreign currency-denominated revenues so that gains and losses on these contracts offset changes in the USD value of the related foreign currency-denominated revenues.

Commodity Contracts
The company enters into over-the-counter and exchange-traded derivative commodity instruments, including options, futures and swaps, to hedge the commodity price risk associated with energy feedstock and agriculture commodity exposures.

While each risk management program has a different time maturity period, most programs currently do not extend beyond the next two-year period. Cash flow hedge results are reclassified into earnings during the same period in which the related exposure impacts earnings. Reclassifications are made sooner if it appears that a forecasted transaction will not materialize. The following table summarizes the after-tax effect of cash flow hedges on accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012:

At June 30, 2013, the after-tax amount expected to be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) into earnings over the next 12 months is $(24).

Derivatives not Designated in Hedging Relationships
Foreign Currency Contracts
The company routinely uses forward exchange contracts to reduce its net exposure, by currency, related to foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its operations so that exchange gains and losses resulting from exchange rate changes are minimized. The netting of such exposures precludes the use of hedge accounting; however, the required revaluation of the forward contracts and the associated foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities intends to achieve a minimal earnings impact, after taxes. Additionally, the company has cross-currency swaps to hedge foreign currency fluctuations on long-term intercompany loans.

In 2012, the company initiated a program to utilize forward exchange contracts to reduce the net exposure related to foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities of its discontinued operations.

Commodity Contracts
The company utilizes options, futures and swaps that are not designated as hedging instruments to reduce exposure to commodity price fluctuations on purchases of inventory such as corn, soybeans and soybean meal.
