Canada's revenues decreased by $508 thousand due primarily to decreased professional services. Latin America's revenues increased $1.5 million due primarily due to increased professional services. Australia's revenues increased by $588 thousand primarily due to a combination of increased professional services and transaction fees, and a $340 thousand increase due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. India's revenue increased $26.4 million of which $1.2 million is due to the various new e-governance contracts with a number of large clients and $25.0 million due to its 2017 acquisitions of ItzCash (Q2 2017), YouFirst (Q3 2017), Wall Street (Q4 2017), Paul Merchants (Q4 2017), Via (Q4 2017) and the Q1 2018 acquisition of Transcorp.

In the geographical information table above the significant changes to long-lived assets from March 31, 2017 to March 31, 2018 were comprised of an increase in the United States of $8.0 million primarily due to capitalized continuing medical education product costs and the continued build out of our global corporate headquarters campus in Johns Creek, Georgia. A decrease in Latin America of $1.9 million primarily due to a 4.8% weakening of the Brazilian Real versus the U.S. Dollar which caused a $1.2 million decrease in the translation of long-lived assets and amortization of intangible assets. An increase in India of $257.3 million is primarily due to a $253.2 million increase associated with the 2017 acquisitions of ItzCash (Q2 2017), YouFirst (Q3 2017), Wall Street (Q4 2017), Paul Merchants (Q4 2017), Via (Q4 2017) and the Q1 2018 acquisition of Transcorp. The Europe increase of $5.6 million is primarily due to a 12.2% strengthening of the British Pound Sterling versus the U.S. Dollar which caused a $2.7 million increase in the translation of long-lived assets, an increase in deferred tax assets of $4.3 million primarily due to the release of valuation allowances of operating loss carryforwards, partially offset by the amortization of intangible assets and capitalized software development costs.
