Another place I have seen similar wording was when MVSI acquired a company. They paid more than "book value" The difference was excess cost which is then amoritized over some 40 years. You may want to double check me on this by reviewing the last MVSI 10K.

I must say, I think I might be learning something here:-)

"Excess of Cost over Fair Value" is just that....
The technical name for Goodwill.
(Acquisition price - Book Value) =Excess of Cost over Fair Value

It gets charged against D&A;usually over a very long period.
