(2) In the first quarter of 2011, we made a strategic decision to enter into a contract with a customer in the automotive industry, for which we expect our costs to exceed our revenue by approximately $5 million. Services segment operating income in 2011 includes immediate recognition of the approximately $5 million estimated loss on this contract and resulted in a reduction of service margins by approximately 2%.
