18.    Foreign Currencies

As of December 31, 2015, the Company’s net investment that is subject to foreign currency fluctuations totaled $16,559, and the Company has recorded a cumulative foreign currency translation loss of $37,702, all related to Russia. This cumulative translation loss is included in and is the only component of accumulated other comprehensive loss within shareholders’ equity. As a result of the substantial liquidation of China assets and liabilities in 2015, the Company reclassified an $8,853 cumulative translation adjustment gain, with no tax impact, from accumulated other comprehensive loss to loss (gain) on disposal or impairment of assets within the statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2015. For additional information, refer to Note 4 – Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. During 2014 and continuing into 2015, the value of the Russian Ruble significantly declined relative to the U.S. dollar for which the financial impact on the Company’s net assets in Russia is included in other comprehensive income and the cumulative foreign currency translation loss noted above. No income tax benefits have been recorded on these losses as a result of the uncertainty about recoverability of the related deferred income tax benefits.
