• Goodwill - This item represents the excess of purchase price paid over the fair market value of net assets acquired, net of any write downs for impairment in value. Goodwill is now no longer amortized over an estimated useful life as was being done earlier (prior to SFAS 142). Instead the balance of goodwill has to be assessed at every reporting period and a write down for impairment has to be recognized when determined. The assessment for impairment is done by applying a fair value based test.
• Cash from Operations - Represents the amount of cash generated or consumed by a company's core business operations
• Extraordinary Items - This item represents an unusual one-time gain or loss on the income statement.

Extraordinary Items as per U.S. GAAP has a different meaning than that of the dictionary meaning. Generally 'Gain/Loss on early retirement/extinguishment of debt' are reported as Extraordinary Items by U.S. companies.
