Fair Values of Financial Instruments [Text Block] | Fair Values of Financial Instruments The fair values at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 do not reflect subsequent changes in the economy, interest rates, and other variables that may affect the determination of fair value. The following table presents the fair values of our financial instruments as of the balance sheet dates:
| September 30, 2014 |  | December 31, 2013
| Carrying Amount |  | Fair Value |  | Carrying Amount |  | Fair Value

Foreign exchange forwards | 252 |  |  | 252 |  |  | 145 |  |  | 145 |
The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating fair values: Cash and cash equivalents: Due to the liquid nature of these instruments, the carrying value approximates fair value (Level 1). Credit facility - term loan and multicurrency revolving line of credit: The term loan and revolver are not traded publicly. The fair values, which are valued based upon a hypothetical market participant, are calculated using a discounted cash flow model with Level 2 inputs, including estimates of incremental borrowing rates for debt with similar terms, maturities, and credit profiles. Refer to Note 6 for a further discussion of our debt. Derivatives: See Note 7 for a description of our methods and assumptions in determining the fair value of our derivatives, which were determined using Level 2 inputs.
