MRVL » Topics » There are numerous risks with our acquisition of the communications and application processor business of IntelThis excerpt taken from the MRVL 10-Q filed Jun 6, 2008. There are numerous risks with our acquisition of the
communications and application processor business of Intel.
We face significant challenges in connection with the integration of the Intel communications and application processor business of Intel that we acquired in November 2006. The integration of the communications and application processor business of Intel could prove to be more difficult than we originally anticipated, which could increase our total direct costs associated with the acquisition. Moreover, this acquisition could fail to produce anticipated benefits, or could result in unforeseen liabilities or expenses such as future impairment charges of acquired assets and goodwill or other adverse effects that we currently do not foresee, which could harm our business and operating results.
The integration of these business assets and personnel has been and will continue to be a time consuming and expensive process that may disrupt our operations if it is not completed in a timely and efficient manner. If customers do not accept or are dissatisfied with the way we have integrated the manufacturing processes of the business, they may adopt competing products and solutions. If our integration efforts are not successful, our results of operations could be harmed, employee morale could decline, key employees could leave, and customer relations could be damaged. In addition, we may not achieve anticipated synergies or other benefits. The total cost of the integration may exceed our expectations, which would harm our operating results.
