This excerpt taken from the ZOLL 10-K filed Dec 15, 2006. Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
We have cash equivalents and marketable securities that primarily consist of money market accounts and fixed-rate, asset-backed corporate securities. The majority of these investments have maturities within one to five years. We believe that our exposure to interest rate risk is minimal due to the term and type of our investments and that the fluctuations in interest rates would not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
We have international subsidiaries in Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Austria, Australia, and New Zealand. These subsidiaries transact business in their functional or local currency. Therefore, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risks and fluctuations in foreign currencies, along with economic and political instability in the foreign countries in which we operate, all of which could adversely impact our results of operations and financial condition.
We use forward contracts to reduce our exposure to foreign currency risk due to fluctuations in exchange rates underlying the value of intercompany accounts receivable denominated in foreign currencies. A forward contract obligates us to exchange predetermined amounts of specified foreign currencies at specified exchange rates on specified dates. These forward contracts are denominated in the same currency in which the underlying foreign currency receivables and forecasted sales are denominated and bear a contract value and maturity date that approximate the value and expected settlement date, respectively, of the underlying transactions. Unrealized gains and losses on open contracts at the end of each accounting period, resulting from changes in the fair value of these contracts, are recognized in earnings generally in the same period as exchange gains and losses on the underlying foreign denominated receivables and forecasted sales are recognized.
We had one forward exchange contract outstanding serving as a hedge of our Euro intercompany receivables in the notional amount of approximately 3 million Euros at October 1, 2006. The contract serves as a hedge of a substantial portion of our Euro-denominated intercompany balances. The fair value of the foreign currency derivative contract outstanding at October 1, 2006 was approximately $3.8 million, resulting in an

Table of Contentsunrealized gain of $34,000. A sensitivity analysis of a change in the fair value of the Euro derivative foreign exchange contract outstanding at October 1, 2006 indicates that, if the U.S. dollar weakened by 10% against the Euro, the fair value of this contract would decrease by $380,000 resulting in a total loss on the contract of $346,000. Conversely, if the U.S. dollar strengthened by 10% against the Euro, the fair value of this contract would increase by $346,000 resulting in a total gain on the contract of $380,000. Any gains and losses on the fair value of the derivative contract would be largely offset by losses and gains on the underlying transaction. These offsetting gains and losses are not reflected in the analysis above.
