Goodwill

In accordance with the authoritative guidance issued by the FASB on accounting and reporting for acquired goodwill and other intangible assets, the Company performs its annual impairment test of goodwill on October 1 of each year. The Company's goodwill balance of $46.4 million was unchanged at September 30, 2011 when compared to the balance reported at the end of fiscal year 2010.

Intangibles

Other purchased intangible assets consist of the following (in thousands):

IPR&D represents the fair value of a project that was underway at Xenos at the time of acquisition. The product underlying this IPR&D item was released on June 28, 2010 and the fair value of this intangible asset was amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective estimated useful life of seven years beginning July 2010. For additional discussion, see Note 2, "Acquisition of Xenos Group Inc.," of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Amortization expense of purchased technology and other intangible assets was approximately $562,000 and $857,000 for the quarters ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Of this total, approximately $273,000 and $328,000 was related to the amortization of purchased technology. Amortization expense of purchased intangible assets was approximately $1.8 million and $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Of this total, approximately $820,000 and $894,000 was related to the amortization of purchased technologies. Amortization of purchased technology is included in cost of license fees in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
