Other deductions, net increased for the three and six months ended March 31, 2012 primarily due to higher rationalization expense, partially offset by lower amortization expense on intangible assets. The decrease in other for the 2012 second quarter reflects lower current year foreign currency transaction losses. Gains in both 2011 periods included $15 million related to the acquisition of full ownership of a Process Management joint venture in India.
