[1] Cash is adjusted to reflect the $11.0 million estimated net proceeds from the sale.
[2] Represents the assets, liabilities, and equity attributable to Natural Habitat included in Gaiam's historical financial statements.
[3] Accrued liabilities have been adjusted to reflect the accrual of estimated nonrecurring costs directly related to the disposition (not paid in close).
[4] Equity is adjusted to reflect the estimated net gain of $9.0 million on the sale of Natural Habitat. We expect that there will be minimal income taxes on the gain due to utilization of our net operating losses.
