Selling, general, and administrative expenses decreased $5.5 million in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011. The decrease is due primarily due to an $18.1 million charge for a court ruling, partially offset by a benefit of $2.4 million for a settlement related to a prior acquisition which were both recorded in the second quarter of 2011. Increases include $10.8 million of expenses from acquisitions, and $4.3 million of incentive and non-cash compensation. Engineering expense increased by $3.1 million in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the same period of 2011 as the company focused engineering resources on product development. Costs related to engineering for specific customer contracts are included in cost of sales. Amortization expense decreased slightly in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 due to amortization of intangibles in 2011 associated with acquisitions. Total operating expenses were 12.5% and 15.7% of sales for the first nine months of 2012 and 2011, respectively.
