3.           Foreign Currency Remeasurement
 
The U.S. dollar has been determined to be the functional currency for the net assets of the Company’s laboratory facility in Germany. 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 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 gain of approximately $5,000 and a loss of approximately $10,700 for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively, and $0 and $4,900 for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014, respectively.
