NOTE B – ACQUISITIONS

On July 8, 2015, the Company completed its acquisition of Rally Software Development Corp. (Rally), a provider of Agile development software and services. The acquisition of Rally broadens the Company’s solution set and capabilities to better serve customers in the application economy. Pursuant to the terms of the acquisition agreement and related tender offer, the Company acquired 100% of the outstanding shares of Rally common stock for approximately $519 million. The preliminary purchase price allocation for Rally is provided within the table below.

The preliminary purchase price allocation for the Company’s other acquisitions during fiscal year 2016, including the second quarter acquisition of Xceedium, Inc. (Xceedium), is included within the “Other Fiscal Year 2016 Acquisitions” column below. The acquisition of Xceedium and the Company’s other acquisitions during fiscal year 2016 were immaterial, both individually and in the aggregate.

The excess purchase price over the estimated value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets was recorded to goodwill. The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to goodwill was predominantly due to synergies the Company expects to achieve through integration of the acquired technology with the Company’s existing product portfolio and the intangible assets that are not separable, such as assembled workforce and going concern. The goodwill relating to the Company’s acquisition of Rally is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes and is allocated to the Enterprise Solutions segment. The allocation of purchase price to acquired identifiable assets, including intangible assets, is preliminary due to the ongoing analysis to determine the fair value of acquired intangibles and the tax basis of acquired assets and liabilities. The goodwill relating to the Company’s other fiscal year 2016 acquisitions is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes and is allocated to the Enterprise Solutions segment.

Transaction costs for the Company’s fiscal year 2016 acquisitions, which are primarily included in “General and administrative” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, were $17 million and $20 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.

The pro forma effects of the Company’s fiscal year 2016 acquisitions on the Company’s revenues and results of operations during fiscal years 2016 and 2015 were considered immaterial.

The Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended September 30, 2015 included total revenue of $25 million and net loss of $13 million since the date of acquisition through September 30, 2015 for the Company’s fiscal year 2016 acquisitions of Rally and Xceedium. Revenues and results of operations since the date of acquisition for the Company’s other fiscal 2016 acquisitions were considered immaterial.

The Company had approximately $7 million and $27 million of accrued acquisition-related costs at September 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, respectively, related to purchase price amounts withheld subject to indemnification protections.
