Note 1: Acquisitions, Dispositions, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

 

Business Acquisitions and Dispositions. During the first six months of 2011, our investment in business acquisitions was $184 million and consisted of a number of smaller acquisitions in both the aerospace and commercial businesses. As a result of Sikorsky's contribution of a business into a new venture in the United Arab Emirates, we recognized a gain of approximately $73 million in the second quarter of 2011.

Goodwill. Changes in our goodwill balances for the first six months of 2011 were as follows:

(Dollars in millions) Balance as of January 1, 2011 Goodwill resulting from business combinations Foreign currency translation and other Balance as of June 30, 2011

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, we recorded an additional $254 million of goodwill, reflected within “Eliminations and other” in the above table, related to the finalization of purchase accounting associated with the December 2010 acquisition of Clipper Windpower Plc (Clipper).

Intangible Assets. Identifiable intangible assets are comprised of the following:

Amortization of intangible assets for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $103 million and $203 million, respectively, compared with $90 million and $179 million for the same periods of 2010. Average amortization of these intangible assets for 2011 through 2015 is expected to approximate $315 million per year.
