Foreign Currency Remeasurement
2.            Foreign Currency Remeasurement
The U.S. dollar has been determined to be the functional currency for the net assets of the CytRx German Branch. The transactions are recorded in the local currencies and are remeasured at each reporting date using the historical rates for nonmonetary assets and liabilities and current exchange rates for monetary assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement of monetary assets and liabilities are recognized in other income (loss). The Company recognized a loss of approximately $16,528 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, and zero for the comparative period in 2014.
