Calculation of Tax Related to the DIFX Investment

For tax purposes, we recorded a current income tax payable on the total intangible asset value of $117 million. In addition, we recorded a deferred tax asset related to the difference between the total intangible asset value of $117 million and the gain of $26 million recognized on the Nasdaq trade name contribution. The calculation of the tax related to the DIFX investment is shown below.

The current income tax payable was calculated as follows:

 

   

$117 million value to the assets contributed *39.55% effective tax rate = $46.3 million

The deferred tax asset was calculated as follows:

 

   

$117 million value to the assets contributed less $26 million gain = $91.0 million

 

   

$91.0 million differential *39.55% tax rate = $36.0 million

Of the deferred tax asset of $36.0 million, $2.9 million was recorded as current deferred tax asset related to the current portion of the deferred revenue on the technology licenses.
