In February 2011, the Company purchased U.S. dollar
denominated bonds with a face value of $20 million
U.S. dollars from a PDVSA bond offering for 86 million
Bolivars and then immediately sold the bonds for
U.S. dollars at an expected average effective rate of 5.7
Bolivars per U.S. dollar. These 86 million Bolivars
were remeasured at the SITME rate of 5.3 Bolivars per
U.S. dollar and recorded as cash and cash equivalents of
$16.3 million on the Company’s consolidated balance
sheet at December 31, 2010. The Company expects to receive
approximately $15 million U.S. dollars in late
February or early March 2011 as a result of this conversion and
final settlement. This conversion is expected to result in the
Company recording a net pre-tax loss of approximately
$1.3 million U.S. dollars in its 2011 consolidated
statement of income and will be reflected in the Company’s
consolidated financial statements at March 31, 2011 and for
the quarter ending March 31, 2011.
