2011 Acquisitions
In December 2011, we acquired the Merizon Group Inc. which operates MBM formerly known as Modern Business Machines, a Wisconsin-based office products distributor for approximately $42 net of cash acquired. The acquisition furthers our strategy of creating a nationwide network of locally-based companies focused on improving document workflow and office efficiency.

In November 2011, we acquired The Breakaway Group ("Breakaway"), a cloud-based service provider that helps healthcare professionals accelerate their adoption of an electronic medical records ("EMR") system, for approximately $18 net of cash acquired. We are also obligated to pay the sellers up to an additional $25 if certain future performance targets are achieved, of which $18 was recorded as of the acquisition date representing the estimated fair value of this obligation for a total acquisition fair value of $36. The Denver-based firm's technology allows caregivers to practice using an EMR system without jeopardizing actual patient data. This acquisition adds to our offering of services that help healthcare professionals use the EMR system for clinical benefit.

In September 2011, we acquired the net assets related to the U.S. operations of Symcor Inc. ("Symcor"). In connection with the acquisition, we assumed and took over the operational responsibility for the customer contracts related to this operation. We agreed to pay $17 for the acquired net assets and the seller agreed to pay us $52, which represented the fair value of the liabilities assumed for a net cash receipt of $35.The assumed liabilities primarily include customer contract liabilities representing the estimated fair value of the obligations associated with the assumed customer contracts. We are recognizing these liabilities over a weighted-average period of approximately two years consistent with the cash outflows from the contracts. Symcor specializes in outsourcing services for U.S. financial institutions and its offerings range from cash management services to statement and check processing.

In July 2011, we acquired Education Sales and Marketing, LLC ("ESM"), a leading provider of outsourced enrollment management and student loan default solutions, for approximately $43 net of cash acquired. The acquisition of ESM enables us to offer a broader range of services to assist post-secondary schools in attracting and retaining the most qualified students while reducing accreditation risk.

In April 2011, we acquired Unamic/HCN B.V., the largest privately-owned customer care provider in the Benelux region in Western Europe, for approximately $55 net of cash acquired. Unamic/HCN’s focus on the Dutch-speaking market expands our customer care capabilities in the Netherlands, Belgium, Turkey and Suriname.

In February 2011, we acquired Concept Group, Ltd. for $41 net of cash acquired. This acquisition expands our reach into the small and mid-size business market in the U.K. Concept Group has nine locations throughout the U.K. and provides document imaging solutions and technical services to more than 3,000 customers.

Our Technology segment also acquired seven additional businesses in 2011 for a total of $21 in cash as part of our strategy of increasing our U.S. distribution network primarily for small and mid-size businesses. Our Services segment acquired three additional businesses in 2011 for a total of $25 in cash, primarily related to software to support our BPO service offerings.

TMS enables us to improve communications among pharmaceutical companies, physicians, consumers and pharmacists. By providing customer education, product sales and marketing and clinical trial solutions, we augment the IT and BPO services we deliver to the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries.

EHRO established us as one of the world's largest pension plan administrators and as a leading provider of outsourced health and welfare and relocation services.

In January 2010, we acquired Irish Business Systems Limited ("IBS"), a managed print services provider, for approximately $29 net of cash acquired. IBS expanded our reach into the small and mid-size business market in Ireland where it is the largest independent supplier of digital imaging and printing solutions.

In February 2009, we acquired ComDoc, Inc. for approximately $145 in cash. ComDoc is one of the largest independent office technology dealers in the U.S. and it expanded our coverage in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York and West Virginia.

Our Technology segment also acquired one additional business in both 2010 and 2009 for $21 and $18 in cash, respectively, as part of our strategy of increasing our U.S. distribution network for small and mid-size businesses.

Contingent Consideration
In connection with certain acquisitions, we are obligated to make contingent payments if specified contractual performance targets are achieved. Contingent consideration obligations are recorded at their respective fair value. As of December 31, 2011, the maximum aggregate amount of outstanding contingent obligations to former owners of acquired entities was approximately $42, of which $27 was accrued representing the estimated fair value of this obligation. We made contingent payments of $2 and $8 in 2011 and 2010, respectively, which are reflected within investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Affiliated Computer Services, Inc. ("ACS")
In February 2010, we acquired ACS in a cash-and-stock transaction valued at approximately $6.5 billion. Each outstanding share of ACS common stock was converted into a combination of 4.935 shares of Xerox common stock and $18.60 in cash. In addition, as of the acquisition date, we repaid $1.7 billion of ACS’s debt and assumed an additional $0.6 billion of debt. We also issued convertible preferred stock with a fair value of $349 and stock options valued at $222 (Refer to Note 17 - Preferred Stock and Note 18 - Shareholders' Equity for additional information regarding the issuance of preferred stock and stock options, respectively). ACS provides business process outsourcing and information technology outsourcing services and solutions to commercial and governmental clients worldwide. The operating results of ACS are included in our Services segment from February 6, 2010.
