DREAMWORKSANIMATIONSKG,INC. NOTESTOCONSOLIDATEDFINANCIALSTATEMENTS—(Continued) Goodwill The Company has goodwill of approximately $29.2 and $36.9 million, less accumulated amortization of $2.7 million, as of December 31, 2003 and 2004, respectively, related to DreamWorks Studios’ 2000 acquisition of a majority interest in PDI and the subsequent acquisition of the remaining minority interest in 2004. In 2003 and 2004, the Company performed its annual assessment of goodwill and determined that there was no impairment. Deferred Costs Costs associated with negotiating the Company’s animation facility lease and revolving credit facility, which consist principally of legal costs and bank fees, are deferred and amortized to interest expense using the straight-line method over the life of the arrangement. Stock-Based Compensation The Company follows the provisions of FAS 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“FAS 123”). The provisions of FAS 123 allow companies to either expense the estimated fair value of equity awards or to continue to follow the intrinsic value method set forth in Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (“APB 25”). The Company has elected to continue to apply APB 25 in accounting for its preexisting stock options which were outstanding at the time of the acquisition of PDI. DreamWorksStudios used stock appreciation rights (which allowed all employees to share in the growth in value of DreamWorks Studios) as its principal stock-based compensation plan. The vested amount of these awards are recorded at their redemption value, and prior to the Separation Date, DreamWorks Studios allocated to the Companytheredemption liability and the associated compensation expense related to the Company’s employees. Compensation expense, determined using the accelerated expense attribution method under FASB Interpretation No. 28, “Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option Plans”, is adjusted to reflect changes in redemption value (See Note 8). In connection with the Separation, the Company issued various equity awards to its employees and advisors, as well as to the employees of DreamWorks Studios as described below. The Company issued fully vested shares to its and DreamWorks Studios’ 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 the Company with the same aggregate intrinsic value and remaining vesting terms. The Company recorded deferred compensation related to grants of unvested restricted stock awards to its employees of approximately $33 million (determined based on the grant date fair value) that will be amortized on a straight-line basis over a four to seven year period. Deferred compensation of $1.0 million was amortized to expense in the fourth quarter of 2004. In addition, the Company granted fully vested stock to certain of its and Dream Work’s Studios employees and advisors upon the consummation of its initial public offering, and recorded an expense of $20.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2004. The Company 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. For the stock option awards granted to Company employees at the Separation and the Company’s initial public offering, the Company has elected to use the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based compensation plans in accordance with APB 25. The Company has adopted those provisions of FAS 123 and FASNo.148“Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure” which require disclosure of the pro forma effects on net income and net income per share as if compensation cost had been recognized based on the fair-value based method at the date of grant of the awards. 78
