Derivative instruments and hedging activities

Foreign Currency Risk

The Company generates revenues in various global markets based on orders obtained in non-U.S. currencies, primarily the Japanese Yen, the Euro and the British Pound. Maxim incurs expenditures denominated in non-US currencies, principally Philippine Pesos and Thailand Baht associated with the Company's manufacturing activities in the Philippines and Thailand, respectively, and expenditures for sales offices and research and development activities undertaken outside of the U.S. Maxim is exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates primarily on orders and accounts receivable from sales in these foreign currencies and cash flows for expenditures in these foreign currencies. Maxim has established risk management strategies designed to reduce the impact of volatility of future cash flows caused by changes in the exchange rate for these currencies. These strategies reduce, but do not entirely eliminate, the impact of currency exchange rates movements. Maxim does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. The Company routinely hedges its exposures to certain foreign currencies with various financial institutions in an effort to minimize the impact of certain currency exchange rate fluctuations. If a financial counter party to any of the Company's hedging arrangements experiences financial difficulties or is otherwise unable to honor the terms of the foreign currency hedge, the Company may experience financial losses.
 
For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges under ASC No. 815- Derivatives and Hedging, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and reclassified into earnings into the same financial statement line as the item being hedged, and in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses on the derivative representing either hedge ineffectiveness or hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness are recognized in interest and other expense, net.
 
For derivative instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments under ASC No. 815, gains and losses are recognized in interest and other expense, net. All derivatives are foreign currency forward contracts to hedge certain foreign currency denominated assets or liabilities. The gains and losses on these derivatives largely offset the changes in the fair value of the assets or liabilities being hedged.

(1) Current portion of long-term debt is included under accrued expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On June 17, 2010, the Company completed a public offering of $300 million aggregate principal amount of the Company's 3.45% senior unsecured notes (the "Notes") due on June 14, 2013, with an effective interest rate of 3.49%. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 14 and December 14 of each year, commencing December 14, 2010. The Notes are governed by a base and supplemental indenture dated June 10, 2010 and June 17, 2010, respectively, between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee.

In conjunction with the SensorDynamics acquisition as discussed in Note 13 to the financial statements, Maxim acquired certain fixed and floating rate notes as detailed in the table above.

The Company accounts for the Notes based on their amortized cost. The discount and expenses are being amortized to Interest and other expense, net over the life of the Notes. Interest expenses associated with the Notes was $2.8 million and $2.6 million during the three months ended September 24, 2011 and September 25, 2010, respectively. The interest expense is recorded in Interest and other expense, net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

The estimated fair value of Maxim's debt was approximately $326 million at September 24, 2011. The estimated fair value of the debt is based primarily on quoted market prices.

As of September 24, 2011, the Company had the capacity to issue an unspecified amount of additional debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, warrants, rights and units under its 2010 Shelf Registration Statement.
Credit Facility

On October 13, 2011, the Company entered into a $250 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with certain institutional lenders that expires on October 13, 2016. The Company has agreed to pay the lenders a facility fee at a rate per annum that varies based on the Company's index debt rating. Any advances under the credit agreement will accrue interest at a base rate plus a margin based on the Company's debt index rating. The credit agreement requires the Company to comply with certain covenants, including a requirement that the company maintain a ratio of debt to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) of not more than 3 to 1.

Other Financial Instruments
For the balance of Maxim's financial instruments, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities.
