Derivative Financial Instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

As part of our currency exchange rate risk management strategy, we may enter into certain derivative foreign currency forward contracts that do not meet the U.S. GAAP criteria for hedge accounting, but which have the impact of partially offsetting certain foreign currency exposures. We account for these forward contracts at fair value and report the related gains or losses in currency exchange gains or losses in the condensed consolidated statement of income. The notional amount of open forward contracts was $65.2 million and $58.6 million at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

The following table presents the balance sheet location and fair value of assets associated with derivative financial instruments:
