On January 17, 2014, the Company completed the sale of its network adapter business to QLogic Corporation, as part of the Company’s business strategy to focus development on a portfolio of high performance networking products and services—both hardware and software-based—that meet the demands of today’s data centers whether virtualized or cloud based.
The net carrying amount of the network adapter business’ assets and liabilities at the time of the divestiture was $5.1 million, comprised primarily of associated goodwill of $4.1 million. The sale resulted in a gain of $4.9 million in the three months ended January 25, 2014, which is presented in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income as “Gain on sale of network adapter business.”
