NOTE 18 - ACCUMULATED OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)
The components of Accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets consist of the following:

Of the $1.5 million, net of tax, derivative instrument gain recorded in AOCI at June 30, 2009, $8.7 million, net of tax, related to the October 2003 gain from the settlement of the treasury lock agreements upon the issuance of the Company's 5.75% Senior Notes due October 2033, which is being reclassified to earnings as an offset to interest expense over the life of the debt. Partially offsetting this gain was $0.5 million, net of tax, related to a loss from the settlement of a series of forward-starting interest rate swap agreements upon the issuance of the Company's 6.00% Senior Notes due May 2037, which will be reclassified to earnings as an addition to interest expense over the life of the debt. Also partially offsetting the net derivative instrument gain recorded in OCI was $6.7 million in losses, net of tax, related to foreign currency forward and option contracts which the Company will reclassify to earnings during the next twelve months.
