Note 14. Derivative Instruments

The Company, from time to time, purchases foreign currency forward exchange contracts, primarily in Japanese Yen, that permit it to sell specified amounts of these foreign currencies expected to be received from its export sales for pre-established U.S. dollar amounts at specified dates. These contracts are entered into to limit transactional exposure to changes in currency exchange rates of export sales transactions in which settlement will occur in future periods and which otherwise would expose the Company, on the basis of its aggregate net cash flows in respective currencies, to foreign currency risk.

The Company has recorded the fair market value of these contracts in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. These contracts had a total notional amount of $7.3 million and $4.7 million at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013, respectively. As of September 30, 2013, these forward contracts had expiration dates ranging from October 2013 through January 2014, with Japanese Yen denominations individually ranging from 170 million Yen to 200 million Yen. The Company does not account for these contracts as hedges as defined by U.S. GAAP and records the change in the fair value of these contracts in Other expense (income), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings as they occur. The fair value measurement takes into consideration foreign currency rates and the current creditworthiness of the counterparties to these contracts, as applicable, and is based upon quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, or other inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments and thus represents a Level 2 measurement. These contracts are recorded in other accrued liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The change in the fair value of these contracts for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 was insignificant
