Foreign Currency Exchange
The Company’s functional currency for all operations worldwide is the U.S. dollar. For foreign operations with the U.S. dollar as the functional currency, monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured at the period-end exchange rates. Certain non-monetary assets and liabilities are remeasured using historical rates. Statements of operations for each month are remeasured at the prior month’s balance sheet rate which approximates the average exchange rates for the month. The Company reported foreign currency loss from remeasurement activity for 2011, 2010 and 2009 as follows:
