Foreign Currency Contracts

From time to time, the Company enters into foreign currency forward exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rates associated with short-term operating receivables of a Canadian subsidiary that are payable by the U.S. operations. The terms of these contracts are generally less than a year. Changes in the fair value of such contracts are reported in earnings as a component of “Other expense (income), net.”

The Company entered into two foreign currency contracts during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.  No amount was paid or received as a result of these contracts.  The Company did not enter into any foreign currency contracts during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. There were no outstanding derivative contracts as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
