Other operating expense in the first quarter of 2013 included currency losses of $62 million from changes in the market value of yen currency hedges executed in connection with our planned acquisition of Elpida Memory, Inc. In addition, other operating income included a gain of $25 million resulting from the termination of a lease by Transform to a portion of our manufacturing facilities in Boise, Idaho.
