estimated selling prices less costs of disposal and a reasonable profit allowance for the selling effort. Work-in-process
inventory was valued at estimated selling prices less costs to complete, costs of disposal and a reasonable profit allow-
ance for the completion and selling effort, or at estimated replacement costs for certain components. Raw materials

$139 million.
Stock-Based Compensation
In connection with the Acquisition, each outstanding HGST option, cash-settled SAR and RSU that was

will be recognized by the Company over the remaining service periods. As of June 29, 2012, the future expense for the
