will not include distribution and marketing costs and third-party distribution and fulfillment services fees. Our revenue will also be lower because it will be net of the distribution and marketing costs that DreamWorks Studios recoups, as well as its 8.0% distribution fee. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, general and administrative expenses generally consist of general and administrative expenses, including allocations (historically), depreciation and non-film amortization, net of expenses included in capitalized overhead. General and administrative expenses consist of salaries, rent and other allocated overhead costs as described in allocations above. Capitalized overhead generally represents the salaries of individual employees or entire departments with exclusive or significant responsibilities for the production of our films, which we capitalize and include in production costs as described above. In connection with the Separation, we issued various equity awards to our employees and advisors, as well as to employees of DreamWorks Studios as described below. We issued fully vested shares to our and DreamWorksStudios’ employees who had fully vested awards granted by DreamWorks Studios on an equivalent value basis. Outstanding unvested equity awards previously issued by DreamWorks Studios were exchanged for equity awards granted by us with the same intrinsic value and remaining vesting terms. We recorded deferred compensation related to grants of unvested restricted stock awards to our employees of approximately $33.2 million that will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a four to seven year period. Of this amount, $1.0 million was amortized to expense in the fourth quarter of 2004. In addition, we issued fully vested stock to certain of our employees and advisors upon the consummation of our initial public offering, and recorded an expense of $20.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2004. We accounted for the vested and unvested equity awards granted to employees of DreamWorks Studios as a dividend to DreamWorks Studios of $31.9 million determined based on the fair value of the awards at the date of grant. In addition, as of January 1, 2005, we began expensing all unvested stock options. We currently estimate that our compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2005 will be approximately $25.0 million for equity awards granted to date. Changes to our underlying stock price or satisfaction of performance criteria could significantly impact compensation expense to be recognized in 2005 and future periods. In addition, future grants of equity awards will result in additional compensation expense in 2005 and future periods. Changes to our underlying stock price or satisfaction of performance criteria could significantly impact compensation expense to be recognized in future periods. In addition, future grants of equity awards will result in additional compensation expense in future periods. Interest Expense and Other Income and Expense Interest expense and other income and expense historically included allocations of interest expense and other income and expense associated with DreamWorks Studios’ debt and its interest rate swap agreements, and other non-operating income and expense. Following effectiveness of the Distribution Agreement, we incur these expenses directly. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are recorded at the lower of cost or fair value and are depreciated on a straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of such assets. Property, plant and equipment consist primarily of our Glendale animation campus, leasehold improvements associated with our Redwood City facility, furniture and computer equipment. Provision for Income Taxes Prior to the Separation, DreamWorks Studios paid no federal income taxes as an entity as the operations of DreamWorks Studios were included in the taxable income of its individual members.
