FINANCING RECEIVABLES

6. LONG-TERM FINANCING RECEIVABLES

Long-term financing receivables represent receivables from certain Latin American governmental bodies that have contractual maturities of greater than one year. Management continually assesses the collectability of these receivables and believes they are recoverable. The decrease in the long-term financing receivables from December 31, 2011 is primarily related to the impact of foreign currency translation. The receivables are included in “Noncurrent assets – other” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The following table sets forth the breakdown of financing receivables by country as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011:
