In February 2010, the Company completed a small acquisition of 100% of the outstanding shares of Grid.com, a Company with infrastructure to deliver services with simple credit card billing through the web. The purchase price, net of $0.1 million of cash received from Grid.com, totaled $0.5 million.  This purchase price, which included $35,000 of value attributable to a warrant issued for 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $3.50 per share, based on a Black-Scholes valuation, was allocated to identified intangibles through established valuation techniques in the high-technology communications equipment industry.  The warrant expires in February 2013. As a result, the Company recorded an incremental $0.2 million in core technology intangible assets and $0.3 million related to the URL, the latter of which the Company sold in July of 2011 for approximately $0.2 million, net of expenses.

 

The Company recorded $40,000, in the six months ended October 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, of amortization of purchased intangible assets.

 

Estimated future amortization expense for the core technology purchased intangible asset as of October 31, 2011 is as follows (in thousands):
