5.   Derivative Financial Instruments

At March 31, 2019 and September 30, 2018, the Company’s Canadian subsidiary had CAN$14.3 million and CAD$20.4 million, respectively, of Canadian dollar denominated intercompany accounts payable owed to one of the Company’s U.S subsidiaries.  In order to mitigate its exposure to movements in foreign currency rates between the U.S. dollar and Canadian dollar, the Company routinely enters into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of its exposure to changes in the value of the Canadian dollar.  On March 29, 2019, the Company entered into a CAD$10.0 million 90-day hedge contract with a United States bank to reduce the impact on cash flows from movements in the Canadian dollar/U.S. dollar currency exchange rate, but has not been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes.     

The following table summarizes the gross fair value of all derivative instruments, which are not designated as hedging instruments and their location in the consolidated balance sheets (in thousands).
