16. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The accumulated other comprehensive loss account in stockholders’ equity of $23,682 and $37,698 at December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively, includes the cumulative foreign currency losses of $11,325 and $31,330, respectively, from translating the financial statements of the Company’s international subsidiaries, the change in fair values of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements that are designated as hedges and the change in fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities.

All foreign countries where the Company has operations are non-highly inflationary and the local currency is the same as the functional currency in all of the locations. Thus, any fluctuation in the currency results in a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss.

During May 2011, the Company’s ownership in its Chilean subsidiary increased from 97.4% to 100% as a result of the Company’s purchase of the noncontrolling interests’ shares of Cinemark Chile. As part of this transaction, the Company recorded the amount of accumulated other comprehensive loss previously allocated to the noncontrolling interest of $485, related to the translation of the Chilean financial statements into U.S. dollars, as an increase to accumulated other comprehensive loss with an offsetting decrease to additional paid-in-capital.
