Notes to Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired and
liabilities assumed was allocated to goodwill. The total goodwill of $18.3 million, none of which
is deductible for tax purposes, is not being amortized but is subject to an
impairment test each year using a fair-value-based approach pursuant to SFAS No. 142. The Company
is amortizing the identifiable intangible assets acquired on a straight-line basis over their estimated
remaining useful lives.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2006, and
for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and are unaudited. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC. In the opinion
of management and subject to the foregoing, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial
statements of the Company include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments,
necessary for a fair presentation of the Companys financial position as of March 31, 2006, its
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005 and its results of cash
flows for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. Results of the Companys operations for
interim periods may not be indicative of results for the full fiscal year.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities. The recognition and allocation of certain operating expenses in these consolidated
financial statements also require management estimates and assumptions. The Companys estimates and
assumptions are continually evaluated based on available information and experience. Because the use of estimates
is inherent in the financial reporting process, actual results could differ from estimates.
Revenue Recognition
Net sales include product sales, gross outbound shipping charges, and related handling fees,
and to a lesser extent, third-party extended warranties and other services. eCOST recognizes
revenue from product sales, net of estimated returns, promotional discounts, credit card fraud and
chargebacks, and coupon redemptions, when both title and risk of loss to the products has
transferred to the customer, which eCOST has determined to occur upon receipt of products by the
customer. eCOST generally requires payment by
