FOREIGN CURRENCY FORWARD CONTRACTS

FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS

As a hedge against the foreign exchange exposure of certain forecasted receivables, payables and cash balances of foreign subsidiaries, the Company enters into short-term foreign currency forward contracts, which typically mature within 30 days of execution. The changes in fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts intended to offset foreign currency exchange risk on cash flows associated with net monetary assets are recorded as gains or losses in the Company’s statement of operations in the period of change, because these contracts have not been accounted for as hedges. The Company stopped entering short-term foreign currency forward contracts in March 2015 and had no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at March 31, 2015. The Company had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with aggregate notional values of $25.4 million at December 31, 2014 as hedges against such forecasted foreign-currency-denominated receivables, payables and cash balances.

The Company may also enter into short-term foreign currency spot and forward contracts as a hedge against the foreign currency exchange risk associated with certain of its net monetary assets denominated in foreign currencies. The Company reduced its usage of short-term foreign currency spot contracts in March 2015. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had such foreign currency contracts with aggregate notional values of $0.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Because these contracts have not been accounted for as hedges, the changes in fair value of these foreign currency contracts are recorded as gains or losses in the Company’s statement of operations.

The following table sets forth the balance sheet classification and fair values of the Company’s foreign currency contracts (in thousands):
