Comprehensive Income/(Loss)
10. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME/(LOSS)

Comprehensive income/(loss) is defined as all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Comprehensive income/(loss) includes net income adjusted by, among other items, foreign currency translation adjustments and our proportionate share of the comprehensive income/(loss) of our equity method affiliates. The foreign translation losses/gains on the re-measurements from foreign currencies to U.S. dollars are classified separately as foreign currency translation adjustment within accumulated other comprehensive income included in stockholders’ equity.

As of September 30, 2011, our functional currencies (Polish zloty, Russian ruble and Hungarian forint) used to translate the balance sheet were weaker against the U.S. dollar as compared to the exchange rate as of December 31, 2010, and as a result $50.4 million of foreign currency translation adjustment was recognized as part of total comprehensive income related to continuing operations.
