Other income, net, consisted of the following:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	March 31,				March 31,
	2013		2012		2013		2012
Interest income	$	33	$	28	$	78	$	79

Total other income (expense), net	$	463	$	97	$	1,317	$	201

The increase in other income was primarily due to the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency, primarily related to the weakening of the Japanese yen against the U.S. dollar.  The increase in other income is net of the gains and losses incurred on forward foreign exchange contracts discussed in Note 9 of this Form 10-Q.
