Derivative Instruments | Note 3—Derivative Instruments The primary risk managed by the Company using derivative instruments is foreign exchange risk. Foreign exchange forward contracts are entered into as hedges against unfavorable fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar - NOK exchange rate. Subsequent to the Spin-Off and until November 2016, IDT provided hedging services to the Company pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement (see Note 7). As of November 16, 2016, the Company entered into a Foreign Exchange Agreement with Western Alliance Bank allowing the Company to enter into foreign exchange contracts under its revolving credit facility with the bank (see Note 8). The Company does not apply hedge accounting to these contracts; therefore the changes in fair value are recorded in earnings. By using derivative instruments to mitigate exposures to changes in foreign exchange rates, the Company is exposed to credit risk from the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the contract. The credit or repayment risk is minimized by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties. The outstanding contracts at January 31, 2017 were as follows: Settlement Date U.S. Dollar Amount NOK Amount February 2017 500,000 4,235,537 March 2017 500,000 4,234,454 April 2017 250,000 2,067,554 May 2017 500,000 4,132,484 June 2017* 500,000 4,179,494 July 2017* 500,000 4,179,038 * Entered into pursuant to the Foreign Exchange Agreement with Western Alliance Bank.
