NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(In Thousands, Except Share and Per Share Data)

(Unaudited)

 

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of The Nautilus Group, Inc. have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“generally accepted accounting principles”) and pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission rules and regulations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

 

The financial information included herein reflects all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments), which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations and financial position for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

 

Consolidation – The consolidated financial statements include The Nautilus Group, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

 

Use of Accounting Estimates – 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 date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates included in the preparation of the financial statements are related to revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, warranty reserves, legal reserves, sales return reserves, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, intangible asset valuation, and the income tax provision.

 

Stock-Based Compensation – The Company continues to measure compensation expense for its stock-based employee compensation plans using the method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. The Company provides pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share as if the method prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, had been applied in measuring compensation expense.

Table of Contents

With one exception, the Company has not recognized compensation expense relating to employee stock options because it has granted options with an exercise price equal to the fair value of the stock on the effective date of grant. In July 2003, certain stock options were granted at an exercise price below current market price on the day of the grant, and thus the Company recognized compensation expense of $85 and $255 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $71 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2003. The unearned portion of this stock option grant resides in Stockholders’ Equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be recognized evenly over the five-year vesting period as compensation expense. The estimated compensation expense for years 2004-2007 is $340 per year and for 2008 is $184. If the Company had elected to recognize compensation expense for all options granted using a fair value approach, and therefore determined the compensation based on the fair value as determined by the Black-Scholes option pricing model, the pro forma net income and earnings per share would have been as follows:
