NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1.    General:

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Gateway, Inc. (“Gateway” or “Company”) as of September 30, 2004 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003 have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments necessary to fairly state the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods. All adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature except for certain asset impairments as discussed in (h) below and restructuring, transformation and integration charges as discussed in Note 7. The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or the entire year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Gateway’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2003, which are included in Gateway’s 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Gateway sells its desktop and notebook computers and servers (“PCs”), PC-related products and services and consumer electronics products and services that converge or connect with PCs through its direct sales force, website, phone centers, value added resellers and third-party retail partners. Convergence and PC related products and services (“Convergence/non-PC”) consist of all products and services other than the PC, such as peripherals, software, accessories, extended warranty services, training, internet services, digital TVs, digital music players and enterprise system and networking products and services.

 

On March 11, 2004, Gateway completed its acquisition of eMachines, Inc., a privately-held computer company. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include eMachines’ condensed consolidated balance sheet and results of operations subsequent to March 11, 2004. On April 9, 2004, Gateway closed its 188 retail stores to pursue wider distribution of its products through third-party retail partners (domestic and international) in addition to continued direct-sales of products to consumers and businesses via Gateway’s sales force, website and phone centers.

 

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements of Gateway are as follows:

 

  (a) Basis of Presentation:

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gateway and its majority owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to previously reported information to conform to current presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported net loss or stockholders’ equity.

 

  (b) Use of Estimates:

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates include the Company’s provisions for sales returns, bad debts in accounts receivable, inventory obsolescence, product warranties and rebates, restructuring activities, tax assets and litigation matters.

 

  (c) Cash and Cash Equivalents:

 

Gateway considers all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of these investments approximates fair value because of their short maturities.

(d)    Marketable Securities and Long-Term Investments:

 

Marketable securities are classified as available-for-sale and consist of mutual funds, equity securities, commercial paper and debt securities. Marketable securities are adjusted to their fair market values each reporting date based on quoted market prices. Unrealized gains and losses are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Upon disposition of marketable securities, the specific identification method is used to determine the cost basis in computing realized gains or losses.
