20-19 Chapter 11 Reorganizations  Fresh start accounting Compute the reorganization value of the emerging entity’s assets Fair value of the entity before considering liabilities and approximates the amount a willing buyer would pay for the entity’s assets The reorganization value is then allocated to the assets using the allocation of value method

20-20 Chapter 11 Reorganizations  Fresh start accounting A reorganization value in excess of amounts assignable to identifiable assets is reported as an intangible asset The emerging company’s liabilities are recorded at the present values of the amounts to be paid Any retained earnings or deficits are eliminated A set of final operating statements is prepared just prior to emerging from reorganization In essence, the company is a new reporting entity after reorganization

20-21 Chapter 11 Reorganizations  Companies not qualifying for fresh start accounting should: Determine whether assets are impaired Report liabilities at the present values of the amounts to be paid Any gain or loss on the revaluation of the liabilities can be extraordinary or ordinary Unusual and infrequent = extraordinary
