NOTE 15: DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

See Note 14 for a discussion of the Cash Convertible Notes Hedges and Cash Convertible Notes Embedded Derivative presented below.

During the fiscal years ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, Grupo Finmart entered into cross-currency forward contracts to hedge foreign exchange rate fluctuations in connection with the formation of the VIEs and related transfer of certain loans as described in Note 16. The Company guarantees the future cash outflows of the forward contracts, which are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets and adjusted to fair value each reporting period through earnings.

Grupo Finmart received proceeds of $3.6 million, net with the settlement of remaining foreign currency forwards attributable to the cross-border 8.5% unsecured notes due 2015 which were repaid during the three-months ended December 31, 2015.
