Business Acquisitions
During the three years ended October 31, 2004, we consummated the acquisitions described below, which
largely reflects our efforts to continue to add seasoned development studios, intellectual properties and talented
personnel resources to our existing internal product development infrastructure. To the extent that the purchase
price allocation for these acquisitions is preliminary, we do not expect that the final purchase price allocation
will be materially different. With the exception of the acquisition of TDK, the proforma impact of these
acquisitions on fiscal 2004 and 2003 was not material.
Indie. In October 2004, we acquired certain assets from Microsoft, including Indie, the developer of the
successful Top Spin (tennis), Amped and Amped 2 (snowboarding) and Links (golf) sports games, and the
intellectual property rights associated with these products. The purchase price for these assets was $18,500
paid in cash at closing. In connection with the acquisition, we recorded $5,828 in identifiable intangible assets,
$11,593 of goodwill, $280 of fixed assets and $829 of accounts receivable, on a preliminary basis.
Venom. In September 2004, we acquired all the outstanding capital stock of Venom, a UK-based developer
of the boxing games Rocky and Rocky Legends. The purchase price was $1,295 paid in cash at closing. In
connection with the acquisition, we recorded identifiable intangibles of $750 and goodwill of $626 on a
preliminary basis.
