Current derivatives with negative fair values decreased due to negative fair market values arising from foreign currency hedging. By contrast, the noncurrent negative fair values increased. This related primarily to higher negative fair values from hedging using combined interest and cross-currency swaps involving USD, GBP and HKD bonds.
