As a result of the gross margin and SG&A expense changes discussed above, our total segment contribution margin improved by $1,050 in
2003 compared to 2002 and by $3,175 in 2002 compared to 2001. See “Segment information” in note 6 of the accompanying consolidated
financial statements.
The changes in segment Management EBT are a result of the gross margin, SG&A expense and R&D expense changes discussed above. See
“Segment information” in note 6 of the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of segment Management EBT to
net earnings (loss) from continuing operations.
The amortization of acquired technology was $101 and $157 in 2003 and 2002, respectively, and primarily reflected the charge related to the
acquisition of Alteon WebSystems, Inc, or Alteon. The remaining net carrying value of acquired technology was fully amortized in the third
quarter of 2003.
On January 1, 2002, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”, or SFAS 142. As a result,
amortization of goodwill, including goodwill recorded in past business combinations, and amortization of intangibles with an indefinite life
ceased upon adoption of SFAS 142.
The amortization of goodwill for 2001 primarily reflected the charges related to the acquisitions of Bay Networks, Inc., Alteon, Xros, Inc.,
Qtera Corporation, Clarify Inc. and the acquisition of JDS’s Switzerland-based subsidiary and its related assets in Poughkeepsie, New York
(also known as the 980 NPLC business).
The net carrying value of goodwill was $2,305 on December 31, 2003 and $2,199 on December 31, 2002.
For acquisitions completed subsequent to July 1, 2000, we were required to allocate a portion of the purchase price to deferred compensation
related to unvested stock options held by employees of the acquired companies. This deferred compensation was amortized to net earnings
(loss) based on the graded vesting schedule of the stock option awards.
Deferred stock option compensation was $16 in 2003 compared to $110 in 2002 and $248 in 2001. The declines were
68
of the volume of our business.
