COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

12.COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (LOSS)

The accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax, relating to changes in accumulated pension benefit was $0.2 million at both September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

In conjunction with the establishment of the 2011 Credit Facility, the Company terminated and paid off its two interest rate swap agreements on March 25, 2011.  The swap agreements were entered into with JPMorgan in March 2005 and July 2007.  The amortization of unrealized losses on the swaps of $0.7 million in the first nine months of 2011 included $0.1 million related to the amortization of the losses on the swaps included in other comprehensive income as of the de-designation date and $0.6 million related to the remaining unamortized loss on the swaps as of March 25, 2011, the date upon which it became probable the forecasted swap transactions, as specified in the original swap agreements, would not occur.
