14. | Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments consist primarily of investments in cash and cash equivalents, receivables and certain other assets, debt and accounts payable, which approximate fair value at September 30, 2014, due to their short term nature or variable, market-driven interest rates. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $18.0 million and $22.7 million, respectively, of which $12.0 million and $17.6 million, respectively, was held outside of the United States, principally in the Netherlands, China and Canada. Substantially all of the amounts held outside of the United States are intended to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations. Our current plans do not anticipate that we will need funds generated from foreign operations to fund our domestic operations. In the event funds from foreign operations are needed in the United States, any repatriation could result in the accrual and payment of additional U.S. income tax. On March 31, 2014, Aarding entered into a one-month foreign exchange forward contract to manage exposure to foreign currency fluctuations on a U.S. dollar-denominated transaction totaling $5.5 million. The contract expired prior to September 30, 2014 and there are no such contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2014.
