The net income attributable to noncontrolling interests reported for the first three months of 2011 included a $3 charge to correct the amounts reported in 2010. This amount is not material to the current year-to-date period or to the prior periods to which it relates.

The U.S. income included in other comprehensive income (OCI) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 coincided with a pre-tax loss for those operations. As a result, we charged tax expense of $14 to OCI, currency translation adjustments, during the third quarter and first nine months of 2010 to recognize the income tax expense associated with the components of OCI. An offsetting income tax benefit was attributed to operations even though valuation allowances have been established against U.S. deferred tax assets. The benefit recognized in the statement of operations was limited to $7 due to interperiod tax allocation rules and $7 was deferred in other current liabilities. See Note 15 for additional information on accounting for income taxes.
