Total purchased intangible assets ...... $12,394 $(4,432) $7,962 $7,544 $(3,465) $4,079
During the year, HP recorded approximately $4.5 billion of purchased intangibles related to the
EDS acquisition.
Amortization expense related to finite-lived purchased intangible assets was approximately
$967 million in fiscal 2008, $783 million in fiscal 2007 and $604 million in fiscal 2006.
Based on the results of its annual impairment tests, HP determined that no impairment of the
Compaq trade name existed as of August 1, 2008 or August 1, 2007. However, future impairment tests
could result in a charge to earnings. HP will continue to evaluate the purchased intangible asset with
an indefinite life on an annual basis as of the beginning of its fourth fiscal quarter and whenever events
and changes in circumstances indicate that there may be a potential impairment.
The finite-lived purchased intangible assets consist of customer contracts, customer lists and
distribution agreements, which have weighted-average useful lives of 8 years, and developed and core
technology, patents and product trademarks, which have weighted-average useful lives of 5.3 years.
