DIVESTITURES
NOTE B – DIVESTITURES
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, the Company sold arcserve for approximately $170 million and recognized a gain on disposal of approximately $20 million, including tax expense of approximately $77 million. The effective tax rate on the disposal was unfavorably affected by non-deductible goodwill of approximately $109 million. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, the Company identified ERwin as available for sale. The divestiture of arcserve and the planned divestiture of ERwin result from an effort to rationalize the Company’s product portfolio within the Enterprise Solutions segment.
The income from discontinued operations relating to both ERwin and arcserve for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 consisted of the following:
