9. Gain on Sale of Intellectual Property

On October 22, 2010, the Company sold certain internally developed Conexant RF Patents and MPEG Patents to Skyworks Solutions, Inc. (“Skyworks”) and terminated its exclusive rights in Skyworks RF Patents obtained pursuant to an agreement entered into between the Company and Skyworks in 2003, in exchange for non-exclusive licenses to each of the Conexant RF Patents, MPEG Patents and Skyworks RF Patents and $1.25 million in cash. The Company received $0.6 million of the sale price in November 2010 and the remainder in March 2011. The entire amount of $1.25 million was recognized as a gain in the Predecessor fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2010, because the patents had a net book value of zero.
