Note 11 – Derivative Instrument


As of June 30, 2014, the Company has one foreign currency contract outstanding with a notional amount of 6.1 million Danish krone (DKK) or $1.1 million. The foreign currency contract was purchased to economically hedge the foreign currency fluctuation from the remeasurement of the third party seller financed note payable (Seller Note) which is denominated in DKK (Note 8). The foreign currency contract has various settlement dates that coincide with the Company’s Seller Note payment schedule. The term of the foreign currency contract coincides with the maturity of the Seller Note which is April 2, 2015. The fair value of the contract resulted in an asset of approximately $90,000 at June 30, 2014, as compared to approximately $183,100 at December 31, 2013. The decrease in the fair value of the contract totaling approximately $89,000 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2014 and the decrease of $93,000 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2014 were recognized in other expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income. Substantially all of this expense is offset by the remeasurement of the Seller Note to reflect the change in foreign currency rates.
