Note 10: Goodwill
Goodwill is the amount by which the cost of acquired net assets in a business acquisition exceeded
the fair value of net identifiable assets on the date of purchase. Goodwill in certain foreign
jurisdictions changes each period due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. During the
first quarter of fiscal 2011, we completed our annual testing for impairment of goodwill and, based
on those tests, concluded that no impairment of goodwill existed as of December 15, 2010. For
purposes of the annual impairment test, we assigned goodwill of $61.1 million to the Application
Development Platforms operating segment, $76.8 million to the Enterprise Business Solutions
operating segment and $100.4 million to the Enterprise Data Solutions operating segment. All of
our operating segments had an estimated fair value that was substantially in excess of the carrying
value and none was at potential risk of failing step-one of our goodwill impairment analysis. See
Note 11 for a description of each operating segment.
