The notional amount of the foreign exchange contracts at April 3, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $323.0 million and $294.9 million, respectively. The fair values of foreign exchange contracts, which are nominal, are estimated using market quotes. The translation of the financial statements of the non-United States operations is impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The change in consolidated sales and operating income was impacted by the translation of the company's international financial statements into U.S. dollars. This resulted in increased sales and operating income of $75.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for the first quarter of 2010, compared with the year-earlier period, based on 2009 sales and operating income at the average rate for 2010. Sales and operating income would decrease by approximately $132.0 million and $5.3 million, respectively, if average foreign exchange rates declined by 10% against the U.S. dollar in the first quarter of 2010. These amounts were determined by considering the impact of a hypothetical foreign exchange rate on the sales and operating income of the company's international operations.
