TAKE-TWO INTERACTIVE SOFTWARE, INC. and SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
1. Organization
Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (the "Company") is a leading global
developer, publisher and distributor of interactive software games designed for
PCs and video game console platforms.
2. Significant Accounting Policies and Transactions
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of the Company have
been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, the financial statements do not include all
information and disclosures necessary for a presentation of the Company's
financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. In the opinion of management, the
financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial
position, results of operations and cash flows. The results of operations for
any interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full
year. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2000.
Risk and Uncertainties
The Company's net sales are primarily derived from software publishing and
distribution activities, which are subject to increasing competition, rapid
technological change and evolving consumer preferences, often resulting in the
frequent introduction of new products and short product lifecycles. Accordingly,
the Company's profitability and growth prospects depend upon its ability to
continually acquire, develop and market new, commercially successful software
products and obtain adequate financing, if required. If the Company fails to
continue to acquire, develop and market commercially successful software
products, its operating results and financial condition could be materially
adversely affected in the near future.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. The
most significant estimates and assumptions relate to the recoverability of
prepaid royalties, capitalized software development costs and other intangibles
and investments, valuation of inventories and the adequacy of allowances for
returns and doubtful accounts. Actual amounts could differ significantly from
these estimates.
5
Prepaid Royalties and Capitalized Software Development Costs
The Company's agreements with licensors and developers generally require it to
make advance royalty payments and pay royalties based on product sales. Prepaid
royalties are amortized at the contractual royalty rate as cost of sales based
on actual net product sales. The Company continually evaluates the future
realization of prepaid royalties, and charges to cost of sales any amount that
management deems unlikely to be realized at the contractual royalty rate.
Prepaid royalties are classified as current and non-current assets based upon
estimated net product sales within the next year. Prepaid royalties were written
down by $75,000 for the three and six months ended April 30, 2001, to estimated
net realizable value. For the three and six months ended April 30, 2000, prepaid
royalties were written down by $109,000 to estimated net realizable value.
Amortization of prepaid royalties amounted to $2,646,000 and $1,738,000 for the
three months ended April 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and $5,804,000 and
$4,791,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
The Company capitalizes internal software development costs subsequent to
establishing technological feasibility of a title. Amortization of such costs as
cost of sales is based on the greater of the proportion of current year sales to
total estimated sales commencing with the title's release or the straight-line
method. The Company continually evaluates the recoverability of capitalized
costs. For the three and six months ended April 30, 2001, no capitalized
software costs were written off as cost of sales. For the three and six months
ended April 30, 2000, capitalized software costs were written off by $240,000
and $249,000, respectively, to estimated net realizable value. Amortization of
capitalized software costs amounted to $1,049,000 and $260,000 for the three
months ended April 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and $1,941,000 and $329,000
for the six months ended April 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
Distribution revenue is derived from the sale of third-party software products
and hardware and is recognized when the ownership and risk of loss pass to
customers upon receipt of products by customers. Distribution revenue was
$41,813,000 and $33,309,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2001 and 2000,
respectively, and $114,447,000 and $93,974,000 for the six months ended April
30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
Publishing revenue is derived from the sale of internally developed software
products or from the sale of products licensed from third-party developers and
is recognized when the ownership and risk of loss pass to customers upon receipt
of products by customers. Publishing revenue was $51,507,000 and $36,727,000 for
the three months ended April 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, and $110,099,000
and $98,952,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively.
In October 1997, the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
("AICPA") issued Statement of Position ("SOP") 97-2 "Software Revenue
Recognition." SOP 97-2 provides guidance on applying generally accepted
accounting principles in recognizing revenue on software transactions. The
Company has adopted SOP 97-2 and such adoption did not have a material impact on
the Company's financial statements. The Company recognizes revenue upon
persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the Company's fulfillment of its
obligations under any such arrangement, and determination that collection is
probable. The Company's payment arrangements with its customers are fixed at the
time of sale with 30, 60, 90 or 120 day terms. The AICPA has also issued SOP
6
98-9 Modification of SOP 97-2, "Software Revenue Recognition with respect to
Certain Transactions." SOP 98-9 deals with the determination of vendor specific
objective evidence of fair value in multiple element arrangements, such as
maintenance agreements sold in conjunction with software packages. The adoption
of SOP 98-9 did not have a material impact on the Company's financial
statements.
The Company's distribution arrangements with customers generally do not give
them the right to return products; however, the Company accepts product returns
for stock balancing or defective products. In addition, the Company sometimes
negotiates accommodations to customers, including price discounts, credits and
product returns, when demand for specific products falls below expectations. The
Company's publishing arrangements require the Company to accept product returns.
The Company establishes a reserve for future returns based primarily on its
return policies, markdown allowances and historical return rates, and recognizes
sales net of product returns.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncement
In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") issued Staff
Accounting Bulletin 101 ("SAB 101"), "Revenue Recognition." SAB 101 summarizes
certain of the staff's views in applying generally accepted accounting
principles to revenue recognition in financial statements. The provisions of
this pronouncement are effective for the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended
October 31, 2001, but must be retroactively applied to the beginning of the
fiscal year. The Company has adopted SAB 101 and it has not had a material
impact on the Company's results of operations.
3. Income Taxes
The provisions for income taxes for the three and six months ended, April 30,
2001 and 2000 are based on the Company's estimated annualized tax rate for the
respective years after giving effect to the utilization of available tax credits
and tax planning opportunities.
4. Net Income per Share
The following table provides a reconciliation of basic earnings per share to
dilutive earnings per share for the three and six months ended April 30, 2001
and 2000.

As the Company reported net losses for the three and six months ended April 30,
2001, all 1,015,239 and 853,771 of the options and warrants outstanding for
these periods, respectively, were anti-dilutive, and therefore, there were no
reconciling items between basic and dilutive loss per share. The April 30, 2000
computation for diluted number of shares excludes unexercised stock options and
warrants which are anti-dilutive.
5. Acquisition of Treasury Shares
In February 2001, certain stockholders of the Company exchanged and surrendered
for cancellation for no additional consideration 564,212 shares of the Company's
Common Stock for shares of Gameplay.com plc ("Gameplay") having an equal value.

9. Segment Reporting
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 131,
"Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" ("SFAS
No. 131"), which establishes standards for reporting by public business
enterprises of information about product lines, geographic areas and major
customers. The method for determining what information to report is based on the
way management organizes the Company for making operational decisions and
assessment of financial performance. The Company's chief operating decision
maker is considered to be the Company's Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). The CEO
reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis accompanied by
disaggregated information about sales by geographic region and by product lines.
The Company's Board of Directors reviews consolidated financial information. The
Company's operations employ the same products, cost structures, margins and
customers worldwide. The Company's product development, publishing and marketing
activities are centralized in the United States under one management team, with
distribution activities managed geographically. Accordingly, the Company's
operations fall within one reportable segment as defined in SFAS No. 131.

statements.
Overview
The Company is a leading global developer, publisher and distributor of
interactive software games. The Company's software operates on PCs and video
game consoles manufactured by Sony, Nintendo and Sega. The following table sets
forth the percentages of publishing revenues derived from sales of titles for
specific platforms during the periods indicated:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
April 30 April 30
------------------ ----------------
Platforms 2001 2000 2001 2000
---- ---- ---- ----
PC .......................... 33.9% 49.6% 34.0% 36.7%

Accessories ................. 3.5 7.2 5.1 8.3
----- ----- ----- -----
100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0%
Revenue Recognition. The Company's principal sources of revenues are derived
from publishing and distribution operations. Publishing revenues are derived
from the sale of internally developed software or software licensed from third
parties. Distribution revenues are derived from the sale of third-party software
and hardware. Publishing activities generally generate higher margins than
distribution activities, with sales of PC software resulting in higher margins
than sales of CDs or cartridges designed for video game consoles. The Company
recognizes revenue from software sales when products are received by customers.
11
Returns and Reserves. The Company's arrangements with customers for published
titles require it to accept returns for stock balancing, markdowns or defects.
The Company establishes a reserve for future returns of published titles based
primarily on its return policies and historical return rates, and recognizes
revenues net of returns. The Company's distribution arrangements with customers
generally do not give them the right to return titles or to cancel firm orders.
However, the Company sometimes accepts returns for stock balancing and
negotiates accommodations to customers, which includes price discounts, credits
and returns, when demand for specific titles fall below expectations. The
Company's sales returns and allowances for the six months ended April 30, 2001
and 2000 were $28,283,000 and $15,373,000, respectively. The increase was
commensurate with increased net sales. If future returns significantly exceed
the Company's reserves, the Company's operating results would be adversely
affected.
Capitalized Costs. The Company's agreements with licensors and developers
generally require it to make advance royalty payments and pay royalties based on
product sales. Prepaid royalties are amortized at the contractual royalty rate
as cost of sales based on actual net sales. At April 30, 2001, the Company had
prepaid royalties of $29,307,000. The Company also capitalizes internal software
development costs subsequent to establishing technological feasibility of a
title. Amortization of such costs as cost of sales is based on the greater of
the proportion of current year sales to total estimated sales commencing with
the title's release or the straight-line method. At April 30, 2001, the Company
had capitalized software development costs of $9,753,000. The Company
continually evaluates the recoverability of capitalized costs. If the Company
were required to write-off these payments or costs to a material extent in
future periods, the Company's results of operations would be adversely affected.

Three Months Ended April 30, 2001 and 2000
Net Sales. Net sales increased by $23,284,000, or 33.3%, to $93,320,000 for the
three months ended April 30, 2001 from $70,036,000 for the three months ended
April 30, 2000. The increase in net sales was attributable to growth in both the
Company's publishing and distribution operations.
Publishing revenues increased by $14,780,000, or 40.2%, to $51,507,000 for the
three months ended April 30, 2001 from $36,727,000 for the three months ended
April 30, 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to increased sales of
titles developed for the Sony PlayStation and PlayStation 2.
For the three months ended April 30, 2001, publishing activities accounted for
approximately 55.2% of net sales. For this period, software products designed
for PC platforms accounted for approximately 33.9% of the Company's publishing
revenues as compared to 49.6% for the three months ended April 30, 2000. The
Company anticipates that in the future, sales of PC products as a percentage of
revenue will continue to decline, although the Company has several major PC
releases planned for the upcoming quarters. Software products designed for video
game console platforms accounted for 62.6% of the Company's publishing revenues
as compared to 43.2% for the prior comparable quarter. The Company expects that
sales of video game console products will continue to account for a significant
portion of its publishing revenues.
Distribution revenues increased by $8,504,000, or 25.5%, to $41,813,000 for the
three months ended April 30, 2001 from $33,309,000 for the three months ended
April 30, 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of
VLM Entertainment Group, Inc. in November 2000. The Company expects that its
distribution operations will continue to expand largely as a result of the
anticipated introduction of next-generation hardware platforms and the
wide-scale rollout of PlayStation 2. For the three months ended April 30, 2001,
distribution activities accounted for approximately 44.8% of net sales.
International operations accounted for approximately $24,081,000 or 25.8% of the
Company's net sales for the three months ended April 30, 2001 compared to
$27,671,000 or 39.5% for the three months ended April 30, 2000. The decrease was
primarily attributable to the Company's increasing emphasis on expanding its
publishing activities in Europe. The Company expects that international sales
will continue to account for a significant portion of its revenue.
Cost of Sales. Cost of sales increased by $16,591,000, or 39.7%, to $58,372,000
for the three months ended April 30, 2001 from $41,781,000 for the three months
ended April 30, 2000. This increase was attributable to the Company's expanded
operations and was commensurate with increased net sales. In addition, for this
quarter, the Company recorded as cost of sales, amortization of approximately
$3.7 million from prepaid royalties and capitalized software costs as compared
to $2.0 million in the prior quarter. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales
remained relatively constant. In future periods, cost of sales may be adversely
affected by manufacturing and other costs, price competition and by changes in
product and sales mix and distribution channels.
Selling and Marketing. Selling and marketing expenses increased by $1,702,000,
or 17.2%, to $11,614,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2001 from
$9,912,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2000. The increase was primarily
attributable to increased product offerings. Selling and marketing expenses as a
percentage of net sales decreased to 12.4% for the three months ended April 30,
13
2001 from 14.2% for the three months ended April 30, 2000. The decrease reflects
the Company's continued efforts to achieve cost efficiencies.
General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses increased by
$1,782,000, or 24.3%, to $9,107,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2001
from $7,325,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2000. The increase was
attributable to increased salaries, rent and insurance premiums to support the
Company's expanded operations. General and administrative expenses as a
percentage of net sales remained relatively constant.
Research and Development. Research and development costs increased by $237,000
to $1,601,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2001 from $1,364,000 for the
three months ended April 30, 2000. Research and development costs as a
percentage of net sales remained relatively constant. Additionally, certain
product costs are amortized as cost of sales as described above.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased
by $2,035,000 or 93.7%, to $4,208,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2001
from $2,173,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2000. The increase was due
to the amortization of intangible assets from acquisitions.
Non-recurring Impairment Charge on Internet Assets. During the three months
ended April 30, 2001, the Company incurred a non-recurring non-cash charge of
$4,187,000 relating to a reduction in the value of certain Internet assets. The
charge consisted of $2,350,000 attributable to certain online technologies
developed by the Company's Neo Software development studio and $1,837,000
relating to capitalized costs for certain online products to be developed by
Neo, which the Company expected to deliver to Gameplay for online distribution.
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased by $980,000 or 71.3%, to $2,355,000
for the three months ended April 30, 2001 from $1,375,000 for the three months
ended April 30, 2000. The increase resulted from increased borrowings.
Loss on Impairment of Available-For-Sale Internet Securities. During the three
months ended April 30, 2001, the Company incurred a non-recurring non-cash
impairment charge of $18,448,000 relating to its investment in Gameplay to
reflect an other than temporary decline in the value of this investment. The
Company also incurred a non-recurring non-cash impairment charge of $2,000,000
relating to its investment in eUniverse and $306,000 relating to its investment
in Entertainment Brands.
Income Taxes. For the three months ended April 30, 2001, the Company recorded a
net income tax benefit of $6,954,000 as compared to a net income tax provision
of $2,145,000 for the three months ended April 30, 2000. Income taxes as a
percentage of net sales also decreased. These decreases resulted from a tax
benefit relating to the impairment charges described above.
Excluding the non-recurring non-cash impairment charges described above, the
Company achieved net income of $3,872,000 for the three months ended April 30,
2001, as compared to net income of $3,354,000 for the three months ended April
30, 2000. Including the impairment charges, the Company incurred a net loss of
$11,924,000.
Results of Six Months Ended April 30, 2001 and 2000

six months ended April 30, 2001 from $192,926,000 for the six months ended April
30, 2000. The increase in net sales was attributable to growth in both the
Company's publishing and distribution operations.
14
Publishing revenues increased by $11,147,000, or 11.3%, to $110,099,000 for the
six months ended April 30, 2001 from $98,952,000 for the six months ended April
30, 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to increased sales of titles
developed for the Sony PlayStation and PlayStation 2.
For the six months ended April 30, 2001, publishing activities accounted for
approximately 49.0% of net sales. For this period, software products designed
for PC platforms accounted for approximately 34.0% of the Company's publishing
revenues as compared to 36.7% for the six months ended April 30, 2000. For the

console platforms accounted for 60.9% of the Company's publishing revenues as
compared to 55.0% for the six months ended April 30, 2000. The Company expects
that sales of video game console products will continue to account for a
significant portion of its publishing revenues.
Distribution revenues increased by $20,473,000, or 21.8%, to $114,447,000 for
the six months ended April 30, 2001 from $93,974,000 for the six months ended
April 30, 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of
VLM Entertainment Group, Inc. in November 2000 and increased market share. For
the six months ended April 30, 2001, distribution activities accounted for
approximately 51.0% of net sales.
International operations accounted for approximately $58,725,000 or 26.2% of the
Company's net sales for the six months ended April 30, 2001 compared to
$73,081,000 or 37.9% for the six months ended April 30, 2000. The decrease was

for the six months ended April 30, 2001 from $128,055,000 for the six months

from prepaid royalties and capitalized software costs as compared to $5.1
million in the prior period. Cost of sales as a percentage of net sales remained
relatively constant.

2001, as compared to net income of $8,141,000 for the six months ended April 30,
2000. Including the impairment charges, the Company incurred a net loss of
$4,174,000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's primary capital requirements have been and will continue to be to
fund the acquisition, development, manufacture and commercialization of its
software products. The Company has historically financed its operations
primarily through the issuance of debt and equity securities and bank
borrowings. At April 30, 2001, the Company had working capital of $68,223,000 as
compared to working capital of $62,885,000 at October 31, 2000.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents increased $1,641,000, to $6,886,000 at
April 30, 2001, from $5,245,000 at October 31, 2000. The increase is primarily
attributable to $23,322,000 of cash provided by operating activities, partially
offset by $7,077,000 used in investing activities and $13,800,000 used in
financing activities.
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended April 30,
2001 was $23,322,000 compared to net cash used in operating activities of
$19,490,000 for the six months ended April 30, 2000. The increase in net cash
was primarily attributable to decreased accounts receivable and prepaid
royalties as well as an increase in accounts payable. Net cash used in investing
activities for the six months ended April 30, 2001 was $7,077,000 as compared to
net cash used in investing activities of $12,751,000 for the six months ended
16
April 30, 2000. The decrease is attributable to decreased acquisition
activities. Net cash used in investing activities reflects the Company's
continued investment in product development. Net cash used in financing
activities for the six months ended April 30, 2001 was $13,800,000 as compared
to net cash provided by financing activities of $27,405,000 for the six months
ended April 30, 2000. The increase in net cash used in financing activities was
primarily attributable to the repayment of indebtedness.
In February 2001, the Company's subsidiary, TTE, entered into a credit facility
agreement with Lloyds TSB Bank plc ("Lloyds") under which Lloyds agreed to make
available borrowings of up to $25,000,000. The outstanding balance and available
credit under the revolving line of credit was $14,614,000 and $95,000,
respectively, as of April 30, 2001. Advances under the credit facility bear
interest at the rate of 1.25% per annum over the bank's base rate, and are
guaranteed by the Company. The credit facility expires in December 2001.
In December 1999, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a group of
lenders led by Bank of America, N.A., as agent, which currently provides for
borrowings of up to $75,000,000. The Company may increase the credit line up
to $85,000,000 subject to certain conditions. Interest accrues on advances at
the bank's prime rate plus 0.5% or at LIBOR plus 2.5%. Borrowings under the line
of credit are collaterized by all of the Company's assets. In addition to
certain financial covenants, the loan agreement limits or prohibits the Company
from declaring or paying cash dividends, merging or consolidating with another
corporation, selling assets (other than in the ordinary course of business),
creating liens or incurring additional indebtedness. The line of credit expires
on December 7, 2002. The outstanding balance and available credit under the
revolving line of credit was $63,016,000 and $11,939,000 respectively, as of
April 30, 2001.
In July 2000, the Company entered into a subordinated loan agreement with Finova
Mezzanine Capital Inc. under which the Company borrowed $15,000,000 evidenced by
a five-year promissory note bearing interest at the rate of 12.5% per annum,
payable monthly. In connection with the loan, the Company issued to Finova
warrants to purchase 451,747 shares of common stock at an exercise price of
$11.875 per share, subject to anti-dilution adjustments.
The Company's accounts receivable, less an allowance for doubtful accounts and
returns of $15,200,000, at April 30, 2001, was $104,219,000. No single customer
accounted for more than 10% of the receivable balance at April 30, 2001. Most of
the Company's receivables are covered by insurance and generally the Company has
been able to collect its receivables in the ordinary course of business. The
Company's sales are typically made on credit, with terms that vary depending
upon the customer and the demand for the particular title being sold. The
Company does not hold any collateral to secure payment from customers. As a
result, the Company is subject to credit risks, particularly in the event that
any of the receivables represent a limited number of retailers or are
concentrated in foreign markets. If the Company is unable to collect its
accounts receivable as they become due and such accounts are not covered by
insurance, the Company's liquidity and working capital position would be
materially adversely affected.
The Company expects to incur costs and expenses of approximately $2 million
during fiscal 2001 associated with software and hardware upgrades to its
accounting systems. In addition, the Company expects to obtain mortgage
financing of approximately $2 million in connection with the purchase of new
warehouse and office facilities for its Jack of All Games distribution
subsidiary in New York. The Company also expects to spend approximately $1
million in connection with various leasehold improvements to its facilities.
Other than the foregoing, the Company has no material commitments for capital
expenditures.
Based on its currently proposed operating plans and assumptions, the Company
believes that projected sales from operations and available cash resources,
including amounts available under its line of credit, will be sufficient to
17
satisfy its cash requirements for the reasonably foreseeable future. Future
expansion activities may require additional financing, and there can be no
assurance that any such financing will be available to the Company if required.
Fluctuations in Operating Results and Seasonality
The Company has experienced fluctuations in quarterly operating results as a
result of the timing of the introduction of new titles; variations in sales of
titles developed for particular platforms; market acceptance of the Company's
titles; development and promotional expenses relating to the introduction of new
titles, sequels or enhancements of existing titles; projected and actual changes
in platforms; the timing and success of title introductions by the Company's
competitors; product returns; changes in pricing policies by the Company and its
competitors; the accuracy of retailers' forecasts of consumer demand; the size
and timing of acquisitions; the timing of orders from major customers; and order
cancellations and delays in product shipment. Sales of the Company's titles are
also seasonal, with peak shipments typically occurring in the fourth calendar
quarter (the fourth and first fiscal quarters) as a result of increased demand
for titles during the holiday season. Accordingly, quarterly comparisons of
operating results are not necessarily indicative of future operating results.
International Operations
Sales in international markets, principally in the United Kingdom and other
countries in Europe, have accounted for a significant portion of the Company's
net sales. For the three months ended April 30, 2001, and 2000, sales in
international markets accounted for approximately 25.8% and 39.5%, respectively,
of the Company's net sales. For the six months ended April 30, 2001, and 2000,
sales in international markets accounted for approximately 26.2% and 37.9%,
respectively, of the Company's net sales. The Company is subject to risks
inherent in foreign trade, including increased credit risks, tariffs and duties,
fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, shipping delays and
international political, regulatory and economic developments, all of which can
have a significant impact on the Company's operating results.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Company is subject to market risks in the ordinary course of its business,
primarily risks associated with interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations
and possible impairment of the carrying values of the Company's investments.
Historically, fluctuations in interest rates have not had a significant impact
on the Company's operating results. At April 30, 2001, the Company had
$77,630,000 in outstanding variable rate indebtedness. A hypothetical 1%
increase in the interest rate of the Company's variable rate debt would increase
annual interest expense by approximately $776,000 as of April 30, 2001.
The Company transacts business in foreign currencies and is exposed to risk
resulting from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Accounts
relating to foreign operations are translated into United States dollars using
prevailing exchange rates at the relevant fiscal quarter. Translation
adjustments are included as a separate component of stockholders' equity. For
the six months ended April 30, 2001, the Company's foreign currency translation
adjustment loss was $520,000. A hypothetical 10% change in applicable currency
exchange rates at April 30, 2001 would result in a material translation
adjustment. The Company purchases currency forward contracts to a limited extent
to seek to minimize the Company's exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates.
18
In addition, the Company may be exposed to risk of loss associated with
fluctuations in the value of its investments. The Company's investments are
stated at fair value, with net unrealized appreciation and loss included as a
separate component of stockholders' equity. The Company regularly reviews the
carrying values of its investments to identify and record impairment losses when
events or circumstances indicate that such investments may be permanently
impaired.
For the three months ended April 30, 2001, the Company recorded a loss of
$18,448,000 to reflect the other than temporary impairment of its investment
relating to Gameplay. At April 30, 2001, the Company held 8,869,407 shares of
common stock of Gameplay with a fair value of approximately $2,139,000 and was
recorded as non-current. The Company recorded an unrealized gain of $1,786,000
as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in
stockholders' equity.
For the three months ended April 30, 2001, the Company recorded a loss of
approximately $2,000,000 to reflect the other than temporary impairment of its
investment in eUniverse. At April 30, 2001, the Company held 2,269,333 shares of
eUniverse with fair value of approximately $4,653,000, $1,714,000 of which was
recorded as current and $2,939,000 was recorded as non-current. The Company
recorded an unrealized loss of $1,336,000 as a separate component of accumulated
other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders' equity.
