Intangible assets acquired in 2012 are based on the preliminary purchase price allocation relating to our acquisition of SmartSynch Inc. (SmartSynch) on May 1, 2012. SmartSynch's intangible assets include IPR&D, which is not amortized until such time as the associated development projects are completed. These projects are expected to be completed in the next 12 months. Refer to Note 16 for additional information regarding this acquisition. Intangible assets of our international subsidiaries are recorded in their respective functional currency; therefore, the carrying amounts of intangible assets increase or decrease, with a corresponding change in accumulated OCI, due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
