asr: below is some of what was stated during the 1st and 2nd quarter conference calls regarding the Technicolor acquisition. The way I read it I wouldn't expect any significant revenue increase for the current quarter.



1st qtr

As things stand, based upon a careful analysis of historical licensing rates and video and the strength of the portfolio. We think that the Technicolor video coding assets could eventually add roughly 10% to the revenue base of our core terminal unit licensing business. And again, that's separate from the additional revenue in the consumer electronics space.


2nd qtr


As I previously discussed, we plan for the acquisition to have a minimal impact to our cash operating investment after a transitional period. Later this quarter, we will provide some more detail on our expectations for the impact to the transitional period including expectations around our third quarter financial performance, which will include roughly 2 months of the Technicolor business as well as related integration expenses. I will also remind you that we picked up only minimal revenue from the acquired contracts as the real opportunity lies within our ability to deliver more value to our core market on a combined basis as well as to successfully enter into the consumer electronics market.
