Note 10: Goodwill
Goodwill is the amount by which the cost of acquired net assets in a business acquisition exceeded the fair value of net identifiable assets on the date of purchase. Goodwill in certain foreign jurisdictions changes each period due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we completed our annual testing for impairment of goodwill and, based on those tests, concluded that no impairment of goodwill existed as of December 15, 2010. For purposes of the annual impairment test, we assigned goodwill of $61.1 million to the Application Development Platforms operating segment, $76.8 million to the Enterprise Business Solutions operating segment and $100.4 million to the Enterprise Data Solutions operating segment. All of our operating segments had an estimated fair value that was substantially in excess of the carrying value and none was at potential risk of failing step-one of our goodwill impairment analysis. See Note 11 for a description of each operating segment.
