Foreign Currency

The Company has a subsidiary in Venezuela. Venezuela is currently experiencing significant political and civil unrest and economic instability and has implemented various foreign currency and price controls. The country has also experienced high rates of inflation over the last several years. The President of Venezuela has the authority to legislate certain areas by decree, which allows the government to nationalize certain industries or expropriate certain companies and property. These factors have had a negative impact on our business and our financial condition. In 2003, Venezuela created the Commission of Administration of Foreign Currency ("CADIVI") which establishes and administers currency controls and their associated rules and regulations. These controls include creating a fixed exchange rate between the Bolivar Fuerte and the U.S. Dollar, and the ability to restrict the exchange of Bolivar Fuertes for U.S. Dollars and vice versa.

Effective January 1, 2010, according to the guidelines in ASC 830, "Foreign Currency," Venezuela was designated as a hyper-inflationary economy.  A hyper-inflationary economy designation occurs when a country has experienced cumulative inflation of approximately 100 percent or more over a 3-year period.  The hyper-inflationary designation requires the local subsidiary in Venezuela to record all transactions as if they were denominated in U.S. dollars.  The Company transitioned to hyper-inflationary accounting on March 1, 2010 for Venezuela and continues to account for the subsidiary under this method.

Since January 2014, the Venezuelan government has created multiple alternative exchange rates designated to be used for the purchase of goods and services deemed non-essential. In February 2015, the Venezuelan government introduced a new currency system, referred to as the Marginal Currency System, or SIMADI rate. This market-based exchange system consisted of a mechanism from which both businesses and individuals were allowed to purchase and sell foreign currency at the price set by the market. In March 2016, the Venezuelan government enacted further changes to its foreign currency exchange mechanisms, including a 59% devaluation of the official government exchange rate (DIPRO) from 6.3 bolivars to 10.0 bolivars to the U.S. dollar.  Additionally, the SIMADI exchange rate was replaced by the DICOM, a new floating exchange rate for non-essential imports. The Venezuelan government reported that the DICOM exchange rate would be allowed to float to meet market needs. In May 2017, the Venezuelan government significantly devalued this currency further and as of August 31, 2017, the published DIPRO and DICOM rates offered were 10.0 and 3,250 bolivars to the U.S. dollar, respectively. As of August 31, 2017, the DICOM rate continues to be the appropriate rate to use for remeasuring its Venezuelan subsidiary’s financial statements. Total net currency exchange gains (losses) for Venezuela of $21 and $105 were recorded for the three and six months ended August 31, 2017, respectively, as compared to $(134) and $(65), respectively, for the three and six months ended August 31, 2016, and are included in Other Income (Expense) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Our investment in Venezuela mainly consists of $3,611 of properties that are currently being held for investment purposes. No impairments were recorded related to these properties during the three and six months ended August 31, 2017. The Company continues to monitor closely the continued economic instability, increasing inflation and currency restrictions imposed by the government and will continue to evaluate its local properties. Further devaluations or regulatory actions could impair the carrying value of these properties.
