Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk   Our primary market risk exposures are changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.   Our Canadian subsidiary uses Canadian dollars as its functional currency. It translates its assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. We translate its revenue and expenses at the average exchange rate during the period. We included foreign currency translation gains and losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of shareholders’ equity. During December 2022, we substantially liquidated our investment in Canada. As a result, we reclassified the cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment balance into earnings and recognized a net cumulative foreign currency translation loss of $2.6 million, which is included in Other income (expense), net in our Consolidated Statements of Income. Foreign currency translation gains (losses) were ($194,000), $24,000, and ($190,000) in 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. Gains and losses related to transactions denominated in a currency other than the functional currency of the countries in which we operate and short-term intercompany accounts are included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of income and amounted to ($65,000), $10,000, and ($333,000) in 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The change is primarily the result of exchange rate fluctuation applied to an intercompany loan from our Canadian subsidiary which was paid off in September 2020. A portion of our cash in our Canadian subsidiary is denominated in foreign currencies, where fluctuations in exchange rates will impact our cash balances in U.S. dollar terms. A sensitivity analysis assuming a hypothetical 10% change in the value of the U.S. dollar versus the Canadian dollar would impact our reported cash balance by approximately $8,000. Any future currency changes, related to our Canadian subsidiary will be recognized in Other income (expense), net in our Consolidated Statements of Income. However, due to the substantial liquidation of the subsidiary, we do not expect the amounts to be significant after 2022. We have not entered into any foreign currency hedging transactions. We do not purchase or hold any currency exchange related derivative financial instruments.   We are exposed to interest rate risk with both our fixed-rate Term Loan and variable rate Line of Credit. Interest rate changes for borrowings under our fixed-rate Term Loan would impact the fair value of such debt, but do not impact earnings or cash flow. At December 31, 2022, our fixed-rate Term Loan totaled $22.3 million. Based on a sensitivity analysis, a one percent per annum change in market interest rates as of December 31, 2022, would impact the estimated fair value of our fixed-rate Term Loan outstanding at December 31, 2022 by approximately $470,000.   Borrowings under our Line of Credit and Delayed Draw Term Loan, if any, bear interest at a floating rate equal to the 30-day SOFR plus 235 basis points. Borrowings under the Line of Credit and Delayed Draw Term Note may not exceed $30.0 million and $75.0 million, respectively. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Line of Credit at December 31, 2022, or at any time during 2022. There were no borrowings outstanding under the Delayed Draw Term Note at December 31, 2022, or at any time during 2022. A sensitivity analysis assuming a hypothetical 10% movement in interest rates applied to the average daily borrowings and the maximum borrowings available under the Line of Credit for 2022 indicated that such a movement would not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We have not entered into any interest rate swaps or hedging transactions.
