Other Charges (Gains), Net

In March 2014 we sold certain Ethernet controller-related assets and provided non-exclusive licenses to intellectual property, including a non-exclusive patent license, to QLogic Corporation for a total of $209 million, referred to as the QLogic Transaction. The transaction was accounted for as a multiple element arrangement, which primarily included (i) the sale of certain assets (constituting a business for accounting purposes), (ii) the licensing of certain intellectual property, and (iii) a long-term supply agreement. In connection with the transaction, we recorded a gain on the sale of assets of $48 million (net of a goodwill adjustment of $37 million) and deferred revenue of $120 million. The revenue related to the license agreement ($76 million) and the supply agreement ($44 million) will be amortized over approximately seven years. The operating gain was recorded in “Other charges (gains), net” included in our consolidated statements of income in 2014.

In determining the fair value of the license agreement, we used the relief from royalty income approach, as well as a market approach utilizing another transaction that we had previously entered into for the same intellectual property, adjusted for changes in the market and other assumptions since that transaction.  The supply agreement was valued utilizing the cost savings income approach. The relief from royalty income and cost saving income approaches employ significant unobservable inputs categorized as Level 3 inputs. The key unobservable inputs utilized include discount rates of approximately 13% to 15%, a market participant tax rate of 17%, and estimated level of future volumes and pricing based on current product and market data.

The adjustment to goodwill due to the QLogic Transaction was calculated by determining the value of the business sold in relation to the value of the Infrastructure and Networking reportable segment.  The value of the business sold was determined utilizing the residual method. 
In April 2009 we established the Broadcom Foundation to support science, technology, engineering and mathematics programs, as well as a broad range of community services. In September 2013 we contributed an additional $25 million to the Broadcom Foundation. This payment was recorded in “Other charges (gains), net” in our statement of income in 2013.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

In 2014 and 2013, we received $1 million in both years, related to stock option exercises that had not settled by December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We had $1 million related to stock options exercises that had not settled by December 31, 2014.

At December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 we had billings of $22 million, $29 million and $29 million, respectively, for capital equipment that were accrued. The amounts accrued for capital equipment purchases have been excluded from the consolidated statements of cash flows and were paid in the subsequent period. In both 2014 and 2013 we also capitalized $3 million of stock-based compensation expense and $2 million in interest expense in 2014, for construction in process related to computer software and equipment.

In connection with the cash paid for acquisitions, we acquired assets (net of cash) with a fair value of $14 million, $178 million and $3.97 billion in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and assumed liabilities with a fair value of $36 million and $253 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively. In addition to the above, as part of the acquisition of NetLogic Microsystems, Inc., or NetLogic, in 2012, we assumed equity awards with a fair value of $349 million, of which $137 million was recorded as goodwill.
