For the year 2011, other operating income and expense included $20.0 million of fiscal incentive income compared to $15.9 million in 2010 and $16.6 million in 2009. These fiscal incentives are associated with net sales in South America and are included in flexible packaging segment operating profit. Other operating income and expense for the year 2011 also included $3.1 million of acquisition related expense, compared to $15.6 million of such charges in 2010. During 2009, in addition to the fiscal incentive income, other operating income and expense included $44.8 million of acquisition related expenses.
The operating results of our international operations are recorded in local currency and translated into U.S. dollars for consolidation purposes.
