CSC is a developer and manufacturer of anti-submarine warfare systems for use onboard submarines and surface ship combatants. Based on the preliminary purchase price allocation, the amount of goodwill recognized was $58 million, which was assigned to the Specialized Products reportable segment, and is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. The final purchase price allocation is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2009, and will be based on final appraisals and other analyses of fair values for acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The Company does not expect any of the differences between the preliminary and final purchase price allocations to have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.
