This excerpt taken from the HPQ 10-K filed Jan 14, 2005. Intria-HP In November 2002, HP acquired the remaining outstanding stock of Intria Corporation ("Intria"), in which HP held a 49% equity interest at October 31, 2002, and other related IT assets from Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce ("CIBC"), for approximately $100 million in cash. Intria is a provider of managed services, which HP jointly owned with CIBC. In connection with the acquisition, HP also entered into a multi-year contract to provide managed services to CIBC. This acquisition and the outsourcing relationship with CIBC have added depth and capability to HPS, including expertise in managing complex, heterogeneous IT operating environments for customers in the financial services industry and others that demand high availability computing solutions. HP recorded approximately $27 million of goodwill and $33 million of amortizable purchased intangible assets in connection with the acquisition. HP is amortizing the purchased intangible assets, consisting mainly of customer contracts, over their estimated weighted-average useful lives ranging from three to ten years. |
