This excerpt taken from the HPQ 10-Q filed Mar 9, 2007. Amortization of Purchased Intangible Assets The increase in amortization expense for the three months ended January 31, 2007 as compared to the same period in the prior year was due primarily to amortization expenses related primarily to the acquisition of Mercury in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, which were partially offset by a decrease in amortization expense related to certain intangible assets associated with prior acquisitions, including the Compaq Computer Corporation (Compaq) acquisition, that had reached the end of their amortization period. For more information on our amortization of purchased intangibles assets, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1, which is incorporated herein by reference. |
