Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Starz considers amortization of program rights, the fair value of goodwill and any related impairment, the development of ultimate revenue estimates associated with released films and television programs, the assessment of investment in films and television programs for impairment and allowances for sales returns to be its most significant estimates. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
