Translation of Foreign Currencies

 

Assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the applicable exchange rates at year-end.  Net gains or losses resulting from the translation of the Company’s assets and liabilities are reflected as a separate component of stockholders’ equity.  A negative translation impact on stockholders’ equity reflects a current relative U.S. Dollar value higher than at the point in time that assets were actually acquired in a foreign currency.  A positive translation impact would result from a U.S. dollar weaker in value than at the point in time foreign assets were acquired.  Year-end translation gains or losses of non-functional currency bank account balances, e.g. EUR and AUD balances held by the UK subsidiary, are recognized as non-operating income or expense, as applicable.

 

Income and expense items are translated at the weighted average rate of exchange (based on when transactions actually occurred) during the year.
