The net carrying amounts of intangible assets are affected by currency translation adjustments.   As compared to the net carrying amounts at March 31, 2011, intangible assets at September 30, 2011, were approximately $4.8 million lower due to fluctuations in exchange rates used to value intangible assets carried in foreign currency.
