notes to consolidated financial statements -in thousands except for share and per share data .
note 13 — derivatives .
our earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates .
we selectively use derivative financial instruments including foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to these risks .
the use of derivative financial instruments exposes the company to credit risk which relates to the risk of nonperformance by a counterparty to the derivative contracts .
we manage our credit risk by entering into derivative contracts with only highly rated financial institutions and by using netting agreements .
the effective portion of derivative gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss until the hedged transaction affects earnings upon settlement at which time they are reclassified to cost of goods sold or net sales .
if it is probable that an anticipated hedged transaction will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period we reclassify the gains or losses related to that hedge from accumulated other comprehensive loss to other income -expense .
we assess hedge effectiveness qualitatively by verifying that the critical terms of the hedging instrument and the forecasted transaction continue to match and that there have been no adverse developments that have increased the risk that the counterparty will default .
no recognition of ineffectiveness was recorded in our consolidated statement of earnings for the twelve months ended december 31 2019 .
foreign currency hedges .
we use forward contracts to mitigate currency risk related to a portion of our forecasted foreign currency revenues and costs .
the currency forward contracts are designed as cash flow hedges and are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value .
we continue to monitor the company ’ s overall currency exposure and may elect to add cash flow hedges in the future .
at december 31 2019 we had a net unrealized gain of $ 655 in accumulated other comprehensive loss of which $ 595 is expected to be reclassified to income within the next 12 months .
the notional amount of foreign currency forward contracts outstanding was $ 8011 at december 31 2019 .
interest rate swaps .
we use interest rate swaps to convert a portion of our revolving credit facility ' s outstanding balance from a variable rate of interest to a fixed rate .
as of december 31 2019 we have agreements to fix interest rates on $ 50000 of long-term debt through february 2024 .
the difference to be paid or received under the terms of the swap agreements will be recognized as an adjustment to interest expense when settled .
these swaps are treated as cash flow hedges and consequently the changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive loss .
the estimated net amount of the existing gains or losses that are reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss that are expected to be reclassified into earnings within the next twelve months is approximately $ 82 .
the location and fair values of derivative instruments designated as hedging instruments in the consolidated balance sheets as of december 31 2019 are shown in the following table : .
