fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities have been included in our Consolidated Financial
Statements since the date of the acquisitions. See Note 6 for information regarding goodwill and acquisition-
related intangible assets. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effect of the

Fiscal Year 2011 Acquisition
In October 2010, we acquired all of the outstanding shares of Chillingo in cash. Chillingo publishes games and
software for various mobile platforms. This acquisition did not have a significant impact on our Consolidated

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the underlying acquired net tangible
and intangible assets. The factors that contributed to the recognition of goodwill included securing buyer-specific
synergies that increase revenue and profits and are not otherwise available to a marketplace participant, acquiring
a talented workforce, and cost saving opportunities. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather subject to at least an
annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair value-based test. Our goodwill is fully attributed to the EA
Labels segment.
