Derivative Financial Instruments [Abstract]

Derivative Financial Instruments

Note 8 – Derivative Financial Instruments

We are exposed to market risk from changes in foreign currency exchange rates, short term interest rates and price fluctuations of certain material commodities such as copper. Foreign currency exchange risks are attributable to sales to foreign customers not denominated in the seller’s functional currency, foreign plant operations, intercompany indebtedness and purchases from foreign suppliers and include exposures to the European Euro, Japanese Yen, Canadian Dollar, Hungarian Forint, Korean Won and Mexican Peso. The Company regularly enters into derivative contracts with the objective of managing its financial and operational exposure arising from this risk by offsetting gains and losses on the underlying exposures with gains and losses on the financial instruments used to hedge them. We do not enter into derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Our hedging relationships are formally documented at the inception of the hedge, and hedges must be highly effective in offsetting changes to future cash flows on hedged transactions both at the inception of a hedge and on an ongoing basis to be designated for hedge accounting treatment. We record the ineffective portion of hedging instruments, if any, to other income (expense) in the consolidated condensed statements of operations.

The Company uses a market approach to value derivative instruments, analyzing observable benchmark rates at commonly quoted intervals for the instrument’s full term. Information related to the recurring fair value measurement of derivative instruments, including W.E.T.’s currency related interest rate swap (“CRS”), in our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2012 is as follows:
