Industrial Automation intersegment sales for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were $182 million and $177 million, respectively, and were $298 million in both year-to-date periods. The increase in corporate and other for the second quarter is primarily due a $34 million loss from the Artesyn equity investment, partially offset by lower incentive compensation of $21 million.The year-to-date increase reflects these items, plus inventory costs of $22 million from purchase accounting and a $17 million increase in charitable contributions due to accelerating funding of all fiscal 2014 contributions into the first quarter.
