Derivative financial instruments
 
The Company previously entered into forward foreign exchange contracts to reduce its exposure to foreign exchange currency rate fluctuations related to forecasted Canadian dollar and Mexican peso expenditures. These contracts were effective as hedges from an economic perspective, but do
not
meet the requirements for hedge accounting under ASC Topic
815
“Derivatives and Hedging”. Accordingly, changes in the fair value of these contracts were recognized into net income in the consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income. The Company had
no
forward foreign exchange contracts in the
first
quarter of
2019.
Included in cost of sales for the
first
quarter of
2019

million. Included in cost of sales for the
first
quarter of
2018
was an unrealized gain recognized as a result of revaluing the instruments to fair value of
$0.3
million, and a realized gain of
