Net Advances from Affiliate/Due from Affiliate
Net Advances from affiliate or Due from affiliate primarily represent the application of
customer receipts
received by the Affiliate on the Companys behalf, offset by the Company purchases of
inventory as well as charges for services as described in Note 7 below. In addition, in March 2003,
the Parent made a capital contribution of $18,000 to the Company, which was used to repay the
cumulative advances from the affiliate owed by the Company at that time of $15,457. As a result of
the contribution, the Company no longer had a liability balance to the Parent. At December 31, 2003
and 2004, the Company had a net receivable balance from affiliates.
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived and Intangible Assets
In 2002, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets (SFAS 144). In accordance
with SFAS 144, the Company reviews long-lived assets and certain intangible assets for impairment
when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable. Events and circumstances that may indicate that asset is impaired include: significant
decreases in the market value of assets, significant underperformance relative to expected
historical or projected future operating results, a change in the manner in which an asset is used,
changes in technology, loss of key management or personnel, changes in our operating model or
strategy and competitive forces.
If events and circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be
recoverable and the expected undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the asset are less than
the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss equal to the excess of the assets carrying
value over its fair value is recorded. Fair value is determined based on the present value of
estimated expected future cash flows using a discount rate commensurate with the risk involved,
quoted market prices or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets. To date, no
impairment charges have been recorded.
Income Taxes
The Parent files a consolidated federal income tax return and a combined state income tax
return that include the operating results of the Company. The income tax provision for the Company
is computed as if a separate company tax return were being filed. The Company accounts for income
taxes under the liability method. Under this method, deferred income taxes are recognized by
applying enacted statutory tax rates applicable to future years to differences between the tax
bases and financial reporting amounts of existing assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is
provided when it is more likely than not that all or some portion of deferred tax assets will not
be realized.

Revenue Recognition
The Company applies the provisions of SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) No. 104, Revenue
Recognition in Financial Statements, which provides guidance on the recognition, presentation and
disclosure of revenue in financial statements filed with the SEC. SAB No. 104 outlines the basic
criteria that must be met to recognize revenue and provides guidance for disclosure related to
revenue recognition policies. In general, the Company recognizes revenue when (i) persuasive
evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, (iii)
the sales price charged is fixed or determinable and (iv) collection is reasonably assured.
