In October 2012, the Company acquired our partner's interest in a joint venture in Iberia that operates in our Baby Care and Family Care and Health Care reportable segments. The acquisition price for the partner's interest was $1.1 billion and the transaction was accounted for as a business combination. The total enterprise value of $1.9 billion was allocated primarily to indefinite-lived intangible assets of $0.2 billion, defined-life intangible assets of $1 billion and goodwill of $1 billion. These were offset somewhat by $0.3 billion of deferred tax liabilities on the intangibles. The Company recognized a $0.6 billion holding gain on its previously held investment, which was included in other non-operating income, net in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings. Goodwill also increased from June 30, 2012 due to currency translation across all reportable segments.

Identifiable intangible assets as of December 31, 2012, are comprised of (amounts in millions):



	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization
Amortizable intangible assets with determinable lives	$	9,957	$	4,871
Intangible assets with indefinite lives	27,061		—
Total identifiable intangible assets	$	37,018	$	4,871

Amortizable intangible assets consist principally of brands, patents, technology and customer relationships. The intangible assets with indefinite lives consist primarily of brands.

The amortization of intangible assets for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $125 million and $123 million, respectively. For the six months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the amortization of intangibles was $253 million and $251 million, respectively.
