As of January 30, 2009, Dell has recorded $76 million of deferred tax assets related to acquired net operating loss and credit carryforwards. The
offset for recording the acquired net operating loss and credit carryforwards was $56 million to goodwill and $20 million to additional-paid-in-
capital. Utilization of the acquired carryforwards is subject to limitations due to ownership changes, which may delay the utilization of a portion of
the acquired carryforwards. The carryforwards for significant taxing jurisdictions expire beginning Fiscal 2017.
Deferred taxes have not been recorded on the excess book basis in the shares of certain foreign subsidiaries because these basis differences are not
expected to reverse in the foreseeable future and are expected to be permanent in duration. These basis differences in the amount of approximately
$9.9 billion arose primarily from the undistributed book earnings of substantially all of the subsidiaries in which Dell intends to reinvest indefinitely.
The basis differences could reverse through a sale of the subsidiaries or the receipt of dividends from the subsidiaries, as well as various other
events. Net of available foreign tax credits, residual income tax of approximately $3.2 billion would be due upon reversal of this excess book basis
as of January 30, 2009.
