On August 30, 2011, we exchanged one of our product lines for a controlling interest in a privately-held company. The exchange was accounted for as a business combination. Prior to acquiring this controlling interest, we had a noncontrolling investment, which was accounted for under the equity method of accounting. We recorded $8,900 for the fair value of the net assets of the acquired business. See Note 2. “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” for a description of our accounting for the noncontrolling interest.

Acquisitions for the year end January 31, 2012 consisted of one privately-held company and the assets of another privately-held company, all of which were accounted for as business combinations. These acquisitions were not material individually or in the aggregate.

The identified intangible assets acquired for all fiscal 2012 acquisitions consisted of purchased technology of $5,980 and other intangibles of $7,130. We are amortizing purchased technology to cost of revenues over three to four years and other intangibles to operating expense over three to five years. The goodwill created by the transactions is not deductible for tax purposes. Key factors that make up the goodwill created by the transactions include expected synergies from the combination of operations and the knowledge and experience of the acquired workforce and infrastructure.
