note 18 / financial instruments : derivatives and hedging we recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value .
derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value through income .
if a derivative is a hedge , depending on the nature of the hedge , changes in the fair value of the derivative will either be offset against the change in fair value of the hedged asset , liability , or firm commitment through earn- ings , or recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged item is recognized in earnings .
the ineffective portion of a derivative 2019s change in fair value will be immediately recognized in earnings .
reported net income and stockholders 2019 equity may increase or decrease prospectively , depending on future levels of interest rates and other variables affecting the fair values of derivative instruments and hedged items , but will have no effect on cash flows. .
