23.            Other income (expense), net

Other income (expense), net was $9.4 million, $7.0 million of expense in 2010 and 2011 and was $4.4 million of income in 2012.  The Company recorded foreign currency transaction losses with respect to its intercompany receivables and payables with certain of its international affiliates, including markets that are newly opened or have remained in a loss position since inception. Generally, foreign currency transaction losses with these affiliates would be offset by gains related to the foreign currency transactions of the Company's yen-based bank debt.  Other income (expense), net also includes approximately $5.8 million, $4.8 million and $5.2 million in interest expense during 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. The Company cannot estimate the degree to which its operations will be impacted in the future, but it remains subject to these currency risks. However, the majority of these transaction losses are non-cash, non-operating losses.
