      DREAMWORKSANIMATIONSKG,INC. NOTESTOCONSOLIDATEDFINANCIALSTATEMENTS—(Continued) Reclassifications Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation. SummaryofSignificant Accounting Policies The accounting for motion picture films is governed by Statement of Position 00-2, “Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films”, issued by the Accounting Standards Executive Committee of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (“the SOP”). In accordance with the SOP, the Company presents an unclassified balance sheet. CashandCashEquivalentsandConcentrationofCredit Risk Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash on deposit and high quality money market investments, principally commercial paper and commercial paper mutual funds, with maturities when purchased of three months or less. Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable. The Company limits its exposure to credit loss by placing its cash and cash equivalents in short term investments with high-credit, quality financial institutions. Prior to the Separation Date, significant accounts receivable were due from Universal Studios, Inc. (“Universal”), the Company’s international theatrical distributor and worldwide home video fulfillment services provider. As of December 31, 2002 and 2003, approximately 82% and 68% respectively, of accounts receivable was due from Universal. Effective as of the Separation Date, significant accounts receivable are due from DreamWorks Studios. As of December 31, 2004, $372.1 million was due from DreamWorks Studios (See Note 2). Accounts receivable resulting from revenues earned in other markets are derived from sales to customers located principally in North America, Europe and Asia. The Company and DreamWorks Studios perform ongoing credit evaluations of their customers and generally do not require collateral. Financial Instruments The fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and advances approximates carrying value due to the short-term maturity of such instruments. The fair value of interest rate swap and foreign exchange agreements is the estimated amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements, taking into account current interest or exchange rates and the current creditworthiness of the counterparties. DreamWorks Studios has entered into interest rate swap agreements to serve as a hedge against interest rate fluctuations associated with the Company’s payment obligations under its real estate lease agreement (See Note 6). Accordingly, prior to the Separation Date, DreamWorks Studios had attributed interest rate swap agreements with a notional amount of $73 million to the Company. These interest rate swap agreements do not qualify for special hedge accounting and, as a result, changes in the fair value of such interest rate swap agreements has been reflected in Other Income (Expense) in the consolidated statements of operations. Upon the Separation, such interest rate swap agreements were retained by DreamWorks Studios. The impact of including these agreements in the previously issued financial statements was to decrease net income and owners equity for the year ended December 31, 2002 by $0.9 million and to increase net income and owners equity by $2.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, and to increase net income and owner’s equity by $1.3 million for the period from January 1, 2004 through the Separation Date. 74
