Our foreign currency derivative financial instruments mitigate foreign currency exchange risks and include forward contracts.  The forward contracts are marked-to-market at each balance sheet date with any resulting gain or loss recognized in income as part of the gain or loss on foreign currency exchange rate included under “Other Expense” on the Company’s consolidated income statement.  The fair value of the currency forward contracts is determined using Level 2 inputs based on the currency rate in effect at the end of the reporting period.

The fair value of the Company’s debt is based on estimates using standard pricing models and Level 2 inputs, including the Company’s estimated borrowing rate, that take into account the present value of future cash flows as of the consolidated and condensed balance sheet date.  The computation of the fair value of these instruments is performed by the Company.  The carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s long-term debt, including current maturities, are summarized below:

		June 30, 2013				December 31, 2012
(In thousands)		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Long-term debt, including current portion	$	3,243	$	3,160	$	3,518	$	3,455

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated and condensed balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, payables and accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximate fair value due to the short term nature of these instruments.  Accordingly, these items have been excluded from the above table.
