font-family:'Times New Roman',times,serif;"> <tr> <td> F.     Acquisitions   In January 2010, the Company acquired Bell Scaffolding Group (Bell), an Australia-based infrastructure solutions provider serving the industrial, infrastructure and commercial construction sectors.  Bells capabilities range from technical design and support through supply and erect contracts.  Bell generated revenues of approximately $40 million in 2009 and has been included in the Harsco Infrastructure Segment.   Inclusion of the pro-forma financial information for this transaction is not necessary due to the immaterial size of the acquisition.   Certain of the Companys acquisitions include contingent consideration features for which defined goals must be met by the acquired business in order for payment of the consideration.  Each quarter until settlement of the contingency, the Company assesses the likelihood that an acquired business will achieve the goals and the resulting fair value of the contingency.  The Company has consummated acquisitions whereby the purchase price included contingent consideration based on the performance of the business during 2010 and 2011.  As of September 30, 2010, the Companys assessment of these performance goals resulted in a reduction to the previously recognized contingent consideration liability of $1.0 million and $10.6 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.  These reductions result from, among other things, difficult end-market conditions for the business, which are expected to continue for the remainder of 2010.  In accordance with accounting standards for acquisitions, this adjustment was recognized in operating income in the Condensed Consolidated Income Statement as a component of the Other (income) expense line item.  As the fair value is evaluated on a quarterly basis, any future adjustments (increases or decreases) will also be included in operating income.   Net Income Attributable to the Company and Transfers to Noncontrolling Interest   The purpose of the following schedule is to disclose the effects of changes in the Companys ownership interest in its subsidiaries on the Companys equity.  In September 2010, the Company acquired an increased ownership share of a consolidated subsidiary located in the United Arab Emirates from a noncontrolling interest partner.  The acquisition was accounted for as an equity transaction since the Company retained its controlling interest in the subsidiary.   <table style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.25in;
