Goodwill is triggered when an entity is purchased for more than its 
asset value. It is also known as "Excess of Purchase Price over 
Net Assets," and is a balancing bookkeeping account. It is 
generally amotized over a period of years, though it is not 
deductible for business tax purposes. EBG would be net profit plus 
any goodwill amortization. If depreciation and taxes are also added 
back, you have operating cash flow, a very important measure of 
potential value.
