15. | EFFECTS OF FOREIGN CURRENCY MOVEMENTS
Substantially all of the Company’s operating cash flows and assets are denominated in Polish zloty, Russian ruble and Hungarian forint. This means that the Company is exposed to translation movements both on its balance sheet and statement of operations and comprehensive income. The impact on working capital items is demonstrated on the cash flow statement as the movement in exchange on cash and cash equivalents. The impact on the statement of operations is by the movement of the average exchange rate used to restate the statement of operations from Polish zloty, Russian ruble and Hungarian forint to U.S. dollars. The amounts shown as exchange rate gains or losses on the face of the statements of operations relate only to realized gains or losses on transactions that are not denominated in Polish zloty, Russian ruble or Hungarian forint. Table below presents the exchange rates used for translation of our balance sheet and statement of operations and comprehensive income balances as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2013:
|  | Balance sheet rate as of March 31, 2013 |  |  | Balance sheet rate as of December 31, 2012 |  |  | Average rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 |  |  | Average rate for the three months ended March 31, 2012 |
PLN / USD |  |  | 3.2590 |  |  |  | 3.0996 |  |  |  | 3.1469 |  |  |  | 3.2249 |
RUR / USD |  |  | 31.0381 |  |  |  | 30.4779 |  |  |  | 30.4048 |  |  |  | 30.1674 |
HUF / USD |  |  | 237.8832 |  |  |  | 221.4000 |  |  |  | 224.7786 |  |  |  | 225.5175 |
Because the Company’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar, the translation effects of fluctuations in the exchange rate of our functional currencies have impacted the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and have affected the comparability of our results between financial periods. The Company has borrowings including its Convertible Notes due 2013 and Senior Secured Notes due 2016 that are denominated in U.S. dollars and euros, which have been lent to its operations where the functional currency is the Polish zloty and Russian ruble. The effect of having debt denominated in currencies other than the Company’s functional currencies is to increase or decrease the value of the Company’s liabilities on that debt in terms of the Company’s functional currencies when those functional currencies depreciate or appreciate in value respectively. As a result of this, the Company is exposed to gains and losses on the re-measurement of these liabilities. The table below summarizes the pre-tax impact of a one percent movement in each of the exchange rate which could result in a significant impact in the results of the Company’s operations.
Exchange Rate |  | Value of notional amount as of March 31, 2013 |  |  | Pre-tax impact of a 1% movement in exchange rate |
USD-Polish zloty* |  |  | $376.7 million |  |  | $ | 3.8 million gain/loss |
USD-Russian ruble* |  |  | $272.2 million |  |  | $ | 2.7 million gain/loss |
EUR-USD* |  |  | €442.7 million or approximately $567.5 million |  |  | $ | 5.7 million gain/loss |
EUR-Russian ruble |  |  | €30.4 million or approximately $39.0 million |  |  |  | 0.4 million gain/loss |
* | Reflects debt outstanding prior to giving effect to the Plan of Reorganization.
