Highlight of Business Operations:

None of our customers accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue in fiscal years 2011 or 2009. In fiscal year 2010, one customer accounted for 11% of our total revenue. Approximately 35%, 38%, and 36% of our total revenue in fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively, was derived from the sale of HP products and services.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2010, we acquired 100% of the stock of Aspire Technology Limited, or Aspire, and Encover, Inc., or Encover, for $40.0 million, including $8.7 million in earn-out payments payable upon the achievement of certain milestones up to three years following the dates of the acquisitions. The fair value of the contingent consideration recorded on the date of the acquisitions was $8.5 million. During fiscal year 2011, we recognized a benefit of $5.4 million for changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration. The changes over time in the fair value were due to updated estimates of the expected revenue and gross profit related to the achievement of established earn-out targets. These acquisitions brought us additional capabilities related to warranty and license renewals management through proprietary software and services. We recognized $22.1 million in goodwill and$11.7 million in intangible assets. The purchase price is subject to a holdback of $1.9 million for a period of twenty-four months from the purchase date. These acquisitions are fully integrated into our GBS segment.

During fiscal year 2011, our revenue in the distribution segment increased compared to the prior year period due to our acquisition of Infotec Japan, stability in the market conditions in the United States and the full year impact of our acquisition of Jack of All Games, which was completed at the end of our first fiscal quarter of 2010. This increase was offset by the sale of a portion of our contract assembly business in fiscal year 2010 and by transitioning of certain customer contracts from the traditional full service distribution relationship that had existed, to a fee-for-service basis starting in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011. During fiscal year 2011, revenue from Infotec Japan was approximately $1.22 billion, or 12% of our distribution revenue. Compared to the prior year period, our sales in North America from peripherals increased 8%, sales of IT systems increased 8%, sales of system components increased 10%, sales of networking systems increased 19% and sales of software increased 13%.

impacted our channel sales volumes. Our sales also benefited from our acquisition of Jack of All Games, new vendors and sales initiatives. By product line, in comparison to fiscal year 2009, our networking product sales increased 37%, system component sales increased 24%, systems sales increased 19% and peripheral sales increased 12%. Our revenue from software sales benefited from the sales of gaming products, but decreased by 9% as compared to the prior year period because of the presentation of revenue generated from certain service contracts, post-contract software support services, and extended warranty contracts on a net basis beginning in fiscal first quarter of 2010. See Note 2—Revenue Recognition. Revenue also benefited from the foreign exchange translation of our Canadian operations as compared to the prior year.

We purchased inventories, including notebook computers, motherboards and other peripherals, from MiTAC International and its affiliates totaling $5.2 million, $157.1 million and $312.4 million during fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our sales to MiTAC International and its affiliates during fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 totaled $4.2 million, $5.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Most of the purchases and sales in fiscal years 2010 and 2009 were pursuant to our Master Supply Agreement with MiTAC International and our former contract assembly customer Sun Microsystems, which was acquired by Oracle Corporation in 2010.
