end. At each quarter-end, the fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts is generally not significant. We
do not use foreign currency option or foreign currency forward contracts for speculative or trading purposes.
cash flow hedge contracts, including time value, is assessed monthly using regression analysis, as well as other
timing and probability criteria. To qualify for hedge accounting treatment, all hedging relationships are formally
documented at the inception of the hedges and must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows
on hedged transactions. The effective portion of gains or losses resulting from changes in the fair value of these
hedges is initially reported, net of tax, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in
stockholders' equity. The gross amount of the effective portion of gains or losses resulting from changes in the
fair value of these hedges is subsequently reclassified into net revenue or research and development expenses, as
appropriate, in the period when the forecasted transaction is recognized in our Consolidated Statements of
Operations. In the event that the gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive income are deemed to be
ineffective, the ineffective portion of gains or losses resulting from changes in fair value, if any, is reclassified to
interest and other income (expense), net, in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. In the event that the
underlying forecasted transactions do not occur, or it becomes remote that they will occur, within the defined
hedge period, the gains or losses on the related cash flow hedges are reclassified from accumulated other
comprehensive income to interest and other income (expense), net, in our Consolidated Statements of
Operations. For the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, we reclassified an immaterial amount of
losses into interest and other income (expense), net. As of March 31, 2013, we had foreign currency option

the next 12 months. As of March 31, 2012, we had foreign currency option contracts to purchase approximately
$74 million in foreign currency and to sell approximately $78 million of foreign currencies. As of March 31,

derivatives whereby the fair value of the contracts is reported as other current assets or accrued and other current
liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value are
reported in interest and other income (expense), net, in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. The gains and
losses on these foreign currency forward contracts generally offset the gains and losses in the underlying foreign-
currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities, which are also reported in interest and other income
(expense), net, in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2013, we had foreign currency

foreign currency in exchange for U.S. dollars and $6 million to sell foreign currency in exchange for British
pound sterling. As of March 31, 2012, we had foreign currency forward contracts to purchase and sell
