Other Comprehensive Income

NOTE 10 – Other Comprehensive Income

Shareholders’ equity includes certain items classified as Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income (“AOCI”) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, including:

· Unrealized gains (losses) on hedges relate to interest rate swaps to convert the line of credit’s variable rate of interest into a fixed rate. These hedges are designated as cash flow hedges, and CTS has deferred income statement recognition of gains and losses until the hedged transaction occurs.  Amounts reclassified to income from AOCI for hedges are included in interest expense.  Further information related to CTS’ interest rate swaps is included in NOTE 13 – Fair Value Measurement.

· Unrealized gains (losses) on pension obligations are deferred from income statement recognition until the gains or losses are realized.  Amounts reclassified to income from AOCI are included in net periodic pension expense.  Further information related to CTS’ pension obligations is included in NOTE 4 – Retirement Plans.

· Cumulative translation adjustment relates to our non-U.S. subsidiary companies that have designated a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar. CTS is required to translate the subsidiary functional currency financial statements to dollars using a combination of historical, period-end, and average foreign exchange rates. This combination of rates creates the foreign currency translation adjustment component of other comprehensive income.  Changes in exchange rates between the functional currency and the currency in which a transaction is denominated is a foreign exchange transaction gain or loss.A transaction loss for the period ended March 29, 2015 was $1,688,000 which is included in Otherin the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Earnings.
