11.          Derivatives

The Company conducts a large portion of its operations in international markets that subject it to foreign currency fluctuations.  The most significant foreign currency exposures occur when revenue and associated accounts receivable are collected in one currency and expenses to generate that revenue are incurred in another currency. The Company’s primary exchange rate exposure relates to payroll, other payroll costs and operating expenses in the Philippines, India, Sri Lanka and Israel.

In addition, although most of the Company’s revenues are denominated in U.S. dollars, a significant portion of the total revenues is denominated in Canadian dollars, Pound Sterling and Euros.

To manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts, authorized under Company policies. The Company utilizes non-deliverable forward contracts expiring within six months to reduce its foreign currency risk.

The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking hedging transactions.  The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes.  All derivatives are recognized at their fair value and classified based on the instrument’s maturity date. There were no notional amounts outstanding as of September 30, 2020.
