GAAP to Non-GAAP EPS disclosure continued 30 Acquisition Related Items Since acquisition related items are atypical and often mask underlying operating performance, we excluded these amounts for purposes of calculating this non-GAAP financial measure to facilitate an evaluation of our current operating performance and a comparison to past operating performance. The adjustments of contingent consideration and other contingent liabilities are periodic adjustments to record such amounts at fair value at each balance sheet date. Given the subjective nature of the assumptions used in the determination of fair value calculations, fair value adjustments may potentially cause significant earnings volatility that are not representative of our operating results. Similarly, due diligence, integration, legal and other acquisition related costs associated with specific acquisitions, including acquisition accounting charges relating to recording acquired inventory and deferred revenue at fair market value, can be significant and also adversely impact our effective tax rate as certain costs are often not tax-deductible. For Q1 of fiscal 2016, acquisition related items consist of (i) fair value adjustments to contingent consideration and other contingent liabilities resulting from acquisitions, (ii) due diligence, integration, legal fees and other transaction costs associated with specific acquisitions and (iii) acquisition accounting charges for the amortization of the initial fair value adjustments of acquired inventory. For fiscal 2015, acquisition related items consist of (i) fair value adjustments to contingent consideration and other contingent liabilities resulting from acquisitions, (ii) due diligence, integration, legal fees and other transaction costs associated with specific acquisitions, (iii) acquisition accounting charges for the amortization of the initial fair value adjustments of acquired inventory and deferred revenue and (iv) foreign currency losses relating to the funding of an international acquisition. For fiscal 2014, acquisition related items consist of (i) fair value adjustments to contingent consideration and other contingent liabilities resulting from acquisitions and (ii) due diligence, integration, legal fees and other transaction costs associated with specific acquisitions. For fiscals 2013, 2012 and 2011, acquisition related items consist of (i) fair value adjustments to contingent consideration and other contingent liabilities resulting from acquisitions, (ii) due diligence, integration, legal fees and other transaction costs associated with specific acquisitions and (iii) acquisition accounting charges for the amortization of the initial fair value adjustment of acquired inventory. Significant acquisition related charges and other atypical costs were not incurred in our fiscal 2010. Other Atypical Items For fiscal 2015, we made adjustments to exclude the loss on sale of our Specialty Packaging business and the impairment of an acquired license both incurred during our third quarter of fiscal 2015 to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measures.

For fiscal 2013, we made an adjustment to diluted EPS to exclude atypical severance and recruiting costs to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measure. For fiscal 2012, we made adjustments to diluted EPS to exclude atypical severance and recruiting costs, as well as a loss relating to the impairment of our investment in a company that developed a patented and proprietary antimicrobial agent to arrive at our non-GAAP financial measure.
