Currency Forward Contracts

CTSAS’ functional currency is the Euro. Periodically, CTSAS purchases inventory from CTI, which requires payment in U.S. dollars. Under certain circumstances, the Company uses currency forward contracts to mitigate CTSAS’ exposure to changes in the Euro-to-U.S. dollar exchange rate upon payment of these inventory purchases. Such currency forward contracts typically have durations of less than six months. The Company reports these currency forward contracts at their fair value. This relationship has not been designated as a hedge and therefore all changes in these currency forward contracts’ fair value are recorded in other (income) expenses, net within the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). At March 31, 2015, the Company held one such currency forward contract. See Note 13 for a description of how we estimate the fair value of these contracts.
