Business Combinations

The Company's consolidated financial statements include the operating results of acquired businesses from the date of each acquisition. Pro forma results of operations for these acquisitions have not been presented as the financial impact to the Company's consolidated results of operations, both individually and in aggregate, is not material. Additional information existing as of the acquisition dates but unknown to the Company may become known during the remainder of the measurement period, not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date, which may result in changes to the amounts and allocations recorded.

In the first quarter of 2011, the Company completed two business combinations for cash of approximately $30.5 million. There were no acquisitions during the second and third quarters of 2011. Total purchase consideration for these acquisitions at the acquisition dates was allocated as follows (in millions):

	2011 Acquisitions
Net tangible assets acquired	$	1.7
Intangible assets acquired	28.4
Goodwill	0.4
Total	$	30.5

The goodwill recognized is attributable primarily to expected synergies. None of the goodwill is deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The following table presents details of the intangible assets acquired through the business combinations completed in the first nine months of 2011 (in millions, except years):

	2011 Acquisitions
	Estimated Useful Life (In Years)	Amount
Existing or Core technology	10	$	21.9
Support agreements and related relationships	4	5.1

The Company recognized an immaterial amount of acquisition-related costs in the three months ended September 30, 2011, and $9.3 million of acquisition-related costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2011. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recognized $1.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of acquisition-related costs. These acquisition related charges were expensed in the period incurred and reported in the Company's consolidated statement of operations within cost of revenues and operating expense.
