| Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities; Letter of Credit Facility | NOTE 8. Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities; Letter of Credit Facility On December 9, 2011, the Company entered into a Foreign Exchange Trading Master Agreement and a Pledge Agreement (collectively, the “Agreement”) with HSBC Bank USA (the “Bank”). Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company and the Bank could enter into spot and/or forward foreign exchange transactions and/or foreign currency options. The Company used these derivative instruments to manage the foreign currency risk associated with its trade accounts receivable that are denominated in foreign currencies, primarily the Mexican peso. In order to secure its obligations under the Agreement, the Company deposited $1 million into a restricted account. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company elected to terminate the Agreement and the $1 million of restricted funds were returned to its general unrestricted accounts. On August 30, 2013, the Company entered into a Letter of Credit agreement with the Bank whereby the Company could issue Bank Letters of Credit to its vendors. In order to secure its obligation under this facility, the Company deposited $275,000 into a restricted account at the Bank. |
