Derivative Instruments
Derivative Instruments
The Company has transactions and balances denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Most of these transactions or balances are denominated in Euros, British Pounds and a variety of Asian currencies. These transactions and balances, including short-term advances between the Company and its subsidiaries, subject the Company's operations to exposure from exchange rate fluctuations. The impact of currency exchange rate movement can be positive or negative in any period. The Company mitigates the impact of potential currency transaction gains and losses on short-term intercompany advances through timely settlement of each transaction, generally within 30 days.
The Company also enters into foreign exchange contracts to reduce its exposure to currency fluctuations. Under forward contract arrangements, the Company typically agrees to purchase a fixed amount of U.S. dollars in exchange for a fixed amount of a foreign currency on specified dates with maturities of three months or less. These transactions do not qualify for hedge accounting. Net gains and losses related to these contracts are recorded as a component of "Other loss, net" in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations and are as follows for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):

The fair values of the forward contracts described above are recorded in the Company's accompanying unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" and "Accrued expenses and other current liabilities".
Stock Warrant
The stock warrant was less than $0.1 million at September 30, 2016. The BioCision warrant agreement contained net share settlement provisions, which permitted the Company to pay the warrant exercise price using shares issuable under the warrant (“cashless exercise”). The value of the stock warrant fluctuated primarily in relation to the value of BioCision's underlying securities, either providing an appreciation in value or potentially expiring with no value. Gains and losses on the revaluation of the stock warrant were recognized as a component of "Other loss, net" in the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
During the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, the Company canceled the stock warrant as a portion of the non-cash consideration transferred for the acquisition of Cool Lab which was measured at fair value on the acquisition date. There were no stock warrants held by the Company at December 31, 2016. Please refer to Note 4, "Acquisitions"; Note 6, "Equity Method Investments" and Note 17 “Fair Value Measurements” for further information on the the acquisition of Cool Lab and the stock warrant.
