BARNES & NOBLE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
The unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Barnes & Noble, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company).
In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly its consolidated financial position as of May 1, 2004 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the 13 weeks then ended. These consolidated financial statements are condensed and therefore do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles. The consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 52 weeks ended January 31, 2004 (fiscal 2003). The Company follows the same accounting policies in preparation of interim reports.
Due to the seasonal nature of the business, the results of operations for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 are not indicative of the results to be expected for the 52 weeks ending January 29, 2005 (fiscal 2004).
(1) Barnes & Noble.com Acquisition
On September 15, 2003, the Company completed its acquisition of all of Bertelsmann AG’s (Bertelsmann) interest in barnesandnoble.com inc. (bn.com) and barnesandnoble.com llc (Barnes & Noble.com). The purchase price paid by the Company was $165,406 (including acquisition related costs) in a combination of cash and a note, equivalent to $2.80 per share in bn.com or membership unit in Barnes & Noble.com. The note issued to Bertelsmann in the amount of $82,000 was paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. As a result of the acquisition, the Company increased its economic interest in Barnes & Noble.com to approximately 75 percent. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the results of operations for the period subsequent to the acquisition are included in the consolidated financial statements.
Based upon a preliminary assessment of the fair values, the allocation of the purchase price to the proportionate amount of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was as follows:
Current assets |
$ | 35,370 | ||
Hardware and software |
23,600 | |||
Other tangible assets |
6,973 | |||
Customer list and relationships |
4,800 | |||

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
For the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 and May 3, 2003
(thousands of dollars, except per share data)
(unaudited)
Hardware and software have been assigned a preliminary estimated useful life of four years. The customer list and relationships intangible asset has been assigned a preliminary estimated useful life of four years to be amortized on an accelerated basis based on estimated usage where a substantial portion of the asset will be amortized in the first year. The above preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to revision as more detailed analysis is completed and additional information on the fair value of assets and liabilities of Barnes & Noble.com becomes available. The final allocation to goodwill and the trade name (which is considered to have an indefinite life and will not be amortized) will be tested at least annually for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets”.
The following table summarizes pro forma results for the 13 weeks ended May 3, 2003, as if the Company had acquired Bertelsmann’s interest in Barnes & Noble.com (resulting in a 75 percent economic interest) and recorded the above noted preliminary allocations of purchase price on the first day of fiscal 2003:

The information has been prepared for comparative purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations which actually would have occurred had the acquisition taken place on the date indicated, or which may result in the future. The Company’s management reviews these pro forma results internally to evaluate the Company’s performance and manage its operations. In addition, since the Company will consolidate bn.com on a going forward basis, the Company believes that pro forma results (as if the Company consolidated bn.com) provide investors a better understanding of the Company’s current operating results and provide a comparable measure to help investors understand the Company’s future operating results.
On May 27, 2004, subsequent to the first quarter of fiscal 2004, the Company completed its previously announced merger (the Merger) of bn.com with a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. Under the terms of the Merger, the holders of bn.com’s outstanding common stock, other than the Company and its subsidiaries, received $3.05 in cash for each share that they owned. The Merger was approved by the shareholders of bn.com at a special meeting held on May 27, 2004. The allocation of the purchase price to the proportional amount of assets acquired and liabilities assumed is expected to be completed during the second quarter of fiscal 2004. As a result of the Merger, bn.com became a privately held company, wholly owned by the Company.

(2) Merchandise Inventories
Merchandise inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the retail inventory method on the first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis for 80 percent, 83 percent and 77 percent of the Company’s merchandise inventories as of May 1, 2004, May 3, 2003 and January 31, 2004, respectively. Merchandise inventories of GameStop Corp. (GameStop) stores, Barnes & Noble.com and Calendar Club L.L.C. (Calendar Club) represent 16 percent, 11 percent and 19 percent of merchandise inventories as of May 1, 2004, May 3, 2003 and January 31, 2004, respectively and are recorded based on the average cost method. The remaining merchandise inventories are valued on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.
If substantially all of the merchandise inventories currently valued at LIFO costs were valued at current costs, merchandise inventories would remain unchanged as of May 1, 2004, May 3, 2003 and January 31, 2004.
(3) Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
(4) Income Taxes
The tax provisions for the 13 weeks ended May 1, 2004 and May 3, 2003 are based upon management’s estimate of the Company’s annualized effective tax rate.

(5) Stock Options
The Company grants options to purchase Barnes & Noble, Inc. (BKS), GameStop Corp. (GME) and barnesandnoble.com inc. (BNBN) common shares under stock-based incentive plans. The Company accounts for all transactions under which employees receive such options based on the price of the underlying stock in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”. The following table illustrates the effect on net income (loss) and income (loss) per share as if the Company had applied the fair value-recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure”, to stock-based incentive plans:
