The Company has assigned $702 million to intangible assets, predominantly customer relationships, trade
names, and technology. These intangibles assets are being amortized over their estimated lives using straight
line and accelerated amortization methods. The value assigned to the trade names of approximately $257 million
is classified as an indefinite lived intangible. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of
net assets acquired (approximately $604 million) was recorded as goodwill. This goodwill is non-deductible for
tax purposes. This acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method, and, accordingly, results of operations
are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. The results from the acquisition
date through December 31, 2008 are included in the Automation and Control Solutions segment and were not
material to the consolidated financial statements.
In July 2008, the Company completed the sale of its Consumables Solutions business to B/E Aerospace (B/
E) for $1.05 billion, consisting of approximately $901 million in cash and six million shares of B/E common stock.
In connection with the completion of the sale, the Company and B/E entered into, among other things, exclusive
supply and license agreements and a stockholder agreement. Because of the extent of the Company's cash
flows associated with the supply and license agreements, the Consumables Solutions business is not classified
as discontinued operations. The provisions of the license and supply agreements were determined to be at-
market. As such, we have not allocated any portion of the proceeds to these agreements. The pre-tax gain of
$623 million was classified as Other (Income)/Expense in our Statement of Operations. The gain on sale was
approximately $417 million net of tax. The sale of the Consumables Solutions business, within the Aerospace
segment, is consistent with the Company's strategic focus on core product areas utilizing advanced technologies.
In July 2008, the Company completed the acquisition of Metrologic Instruments, Inc. (Metrologic), a leading
manufacturer of data capture and collection hardware and software, for a purchase price of approximately $715
million, net of cash acquired. The purchase price for the acquisition was allocated to the tangible and identifiable
intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at acquisition date. The
Company has assigned $248 million to identifiable intangible assets, predominantly customer relationships,
technology and trademarks. These intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated lives which range
from 1-15 years using straight line and accelerated amortization methods. The excess of the purchase price over
the estimated fair values of net assets acquired (approximately $440 million) was recorded as goodwill. This
goodwill is non-deductible for tax purposes. This acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method, and,
accordingly, results of operations are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of
