For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the adjustment of $1.5 million to intangible assets acquired is associated with the correction of an error for a long-term revenue contract from the SmartSynch acquisition, which occurred in 2012. During the second quarter of 2013, we finalized the purchase price allocation related to the SmartSynch acquisition, which was completed on May 1, 2012, and recorded certain adjustments that are reflected as Intangible assets acquired. These adjustments primarily affected the fair value calculation of certain accrued liabilities associated with specific contracts. Among these adjustments was the correction of an error associated with a long-term revenue contract acquired from SmartSynch. In May 2013, we determined that certain manufacturing costs were not reflected in the model used to value this contract as acquisition. Once these costs were properly added to the total cost and profitability estimates, we determined the total contract would result in a loss over the contract term. Previously, we had recognized a customer relationship intangible asset of $1.5 million associated with this contract, with amortization scheduled to begin in 2014 based on the contract's original projected cash flow. Since the contract is in an overall loss position, we determined that the intangible asset had no value. We reduced the value of this intangible asset to zero with a corresponding adjustment to goodwill.

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.
