A Matter of Perspective ….

ASC 350 No September 2011 (Intangibles - Goodwill And Other) Objective/Reason for the Change The objective is to simplify how entities, both public and nonpublic, test goodwill for impairment To reduce the cost and complexity of performing the first step of the two-step goodwill impairment test under ASC 350 Cost/complexity: FV

ASC 350 No September 2011 (Intangibles - Goodwill And Other) (Continued) Significant Changes Qualitative - not quantitative - assessment: Initially Perform Step 1 of impairment analysis only if the entity determines that it is more likely than not (> 50% chance) that fair value is less than carrying amount. More likely than not: Proceed with Step 1 Not “more likely than not”: Done

ASC 350 No September 2011 (Intangibles - Goodwill And Other) (Continued) Flowchart Of New Process

ASC 350 No September 2011 (Intangibles - Goodwill And Other) (Continued) Effective Dates Fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 Early adoption is permitted, which includes annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed as of a date before September 15, 2011 (Q3) ASU : Step 2 impairment analysis when FV is negative

ASC No September 2011 (Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Multiemployer Plans) Objective/Reason for the Change To address financial statement user concern over lack of financial statement transparency for participation in a multiemployer pension plan

ASC No September 2011 (Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Multiemployer Plans) (Continued) Risks Of Multiemployer Plans Assets contributed by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers If a participating employer fails to make the required contribution, then the unfunded obligations of the plan may be forced upon the remaining participating employers If an employer voluntarily withdraws from a plan, it may be liable for a final payment (the withdrawal liability)

ASC No September 2011 (Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Multiemployer Plans) (Continued) Significant Changes Enhance disclosures to included the financial health of all significant plans and assist a financial statement user with accessing additional information on the plan

ASC No September 2011 (Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Multiemployer Plans) (Continued) Main Provisions/Disclosure Requirements Disclosures Must Include: The significant multiemployer plans in which an employer participates, including the plan names and identifying number The level of an employer’s participation in the significant multiemployer plans, including the employer’s contributions made to the plans and an indication of whether the employer’s contributions represent more than 5 percent of the total contributions made to the plan by all contributing employers The financial health of the significant multiemployer plans, including an indication of the funded status, whether funding improvement plans are pending or implemented, and whether the plan has imposed surcharges on the contributions to the plan The nature of the employer commitments to the plan, including when the collective- bargaining agreements that require contributions to the significant plans are set to expire and whether those agreements require minimum contributions to be made to the plans

ASC No September 2011 (Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Multiemployer Plans) (Continued) Implementation Dates Public Entities - Annual periods for fiscal years ended after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted Nonpublic Entities - Annual periods for fiscal years ended after December 15, 2012, with early adoption permitted

ASC 220 No June 2011 (Comprehensive Income) Objective/Reason for the Change Improve comparability/consistency in financial reporting Two reporting options Continuous statement of comprehensive income Two statement approach Eliminates option to report in statement of changes in stockholder’s equity

FASB Projects

Priority Projects Leases Revenue Recognition Other Projects Financial statement presentation Disclosures about Risk/Uncertainties and Liquidation Basis of Accounting (Going Concern) Financial Instruments with Characteristics of Equity Loss Contingencies

Leases Timeline Exposure draft issued August 17, 2010 Comment period initially through December 14, 2010 Re-release of exposure draft expected Q4 2011

Leases (Continued) Goals Of The Project Improve information available to investors about the financial effects of lease contracts Provide relevant information about a company’s rights and obligations Remove the ‘bright-line’ distinction between capital and operating leases

Leases (Continued) Goals Of The Project (Continued) Provide more timely information about various lease options to financial statement users Simplify financial metrics

Leases (Continued) Changes From Current Methodology All leases will be recorded on the balance sheet Exception for short term leases (12 months, including all options to renew) Lease term Non-cancellable periods plus renewal periods with significant economic incentive …... To renew, or... To not exercise an option to terminate

Leases (Continued) Changes From Current Methodology (Continued) Applies to existing and new leases Initial recognition Record liability to make lease payments (including residual value guarantees) at NPV of payment stream Record “a right to use” asset on the balance sheet for the same amount Variable lease payments

Leases (Continued) Changes From Current Methodology (Continued) Subsequent recognition Liability Measure using effective interest rate method ‹Rate stated in the lease ‹Incremental borrowing rate Lease Amortization Systematic basis reflecting the pattern of consumption of expected future economic benefits

Leases (Continued) Changes From Current Methodology (Continued) Disclosures Reconciliation of beginning/ending right-of-use assets - by class Reconciliation of beginning/ending liability - in total Maturity schedule (same as currently required for debt) Detail of lease related expenses - in tabular format Amortization of the asset Interest expense Incremental variable lease payments Lease expense on short term leases (scope exception) Principal and interest paid

Leases (Continued) Impact/Considerations Will affect most every company’s balance sheet and its financial ratios EBITDA: Rent expense replace with interest and depreciation Cannot report interest expense + amortization expense as rent/lease expense Could affect debt covenants

Revenue Recognition Goal is to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue and develop a common revenue standard for U.S. GAAP and IFRS Proposed guidance would replace most of the guidance in ASC 605

Revenue Recognition (Continued) Also contains guidance for accounting for contract costs Application of Principle Identification of contract Identification of performance obligations Determination of transaction price Allocation of transaction price to performance obligations Recognition of revenue on satisfaction of each performance obligation

Revenue Recognition (Continued) Presentation Separate Disclosure of Contract Assets / Liabilities Don’t have to use those exact titles, but must be able to distinguish between contract assets and receivables Liabilities for onerous performance obligations must be presented separate from contract liabilities

Revenue Recognition (Continued) Presentation (Continued) Disaggregation of Revenue Revenue should be disaggregated on face of statements or in footnotes Disaggregation criteria will be disclosed, based on entity accounting policy - example categories: Type of good or service (e.g., major product lines) Geography Customer or contract type

Revenue Recognition (Continued) Disclosure of Remaining Performance Obligations Disclose the amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for contracts that have both of the following: A) An original expected contract duration of more than one year, and B) Terms and conditions that result in the entity, in practice, being required to apply each step of the revenue model in order to recognize revenue Disclose when amounts are expected to be recognized, either in quantitative time bands or by using both quantitative and qualitative information

Revenue Recognition (Continued) Disclosures about Assets from Contract Acquisition or Fulfillment Costs Rollforward disclosure from beginning to end of period, including: Additions Amortization Impairments Disclose accounting policy for amortization of costs

Revenue Recognition (Continued) Implications Debt covenants and other GAAP-based agreements May impact IT systems, in order to collect data required for additional financial statement disclosures Processes and controls may change to capture appropriate accounting data / estimates May impact how budgets are developed and updated Don’t forget to consider tax implications of any changes Possible retrospective application could require dual sets of books

Revenue Recognition (Continued) Implementation date is to be determined Public entities: No earlier than annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015 Nonpublic entities: At least one year after public entities.

Private Company Financial Reporting

Private Company Financial Reporting - Blue Ribbon Panel Blue Ribbon Panel formed in December 2009 to address U.S. accounting standards for users of private company financial statements 18 members Cross-section of people involved in financial reporting Lenders, investors, owners, preparers, auditors, regulators

Private Company Financial Reporting - Blue Ribbon Panel (Continued) Board’s mission - “establish exceptions and modifications to US GAAP for private companies while ensuring that such exceptions and modifications provide decision-useful information to lenders and other users of private company financial reports” Assumption is that lenders constitute the largest user base of private company financial reports The new board would have authority to modify existing and future GAAP for private entities

Private Company Financial Reporting - Blue Ribbon Panel (Continued) Sponsored by: AICPA Financial Accounting Foundation (FAF) which oversees FASB National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA)

Private Company Financial Reporting - Blue Ribbon Panel (Continued) Private company GAAP has been a long-time issue Big GAAP / Little GAAP debate Financial information needs are much different from large public entities AICPA Private Company Financial Reporting Task Force (2005) Private Company Financial Reporting Committee (2007) - sponsored by AICPA and FASB Blue Ribbon Panel

Private Company Financial Reporting - Blue Ribbon Panel (Continued) Examples of standards likely not relevant for private companies (based upon input to the Panel) Uncertain tax positions (FIN 48) Consolidation of VIEs (FIN 46R) Goodwill impairment

Private Company Financial Reporting - Blue Ribbon Panel (Continued) Possible solutions Majority of the Panel favors a separate private company standards board under the FAF AICPA supports a separate standard setter under FAF FAF and NASBA support fixing private company guidance but don’t feel a separate board is necessary NASBA favors a reconstituted FASB

Private Company Financial Reporting - Blue Ribbon Panel (Continued) Panel recommendations: New private company accounting standard-setting board 5-7 members with private company reporting experience Sunset provision of 5 years or less to evaluate overall process

Private Company Financial Reporting - Blue Ribbon Panel (Continued) Future activity The FAF Trustees’ action plan subject to further input from constituents Expose the plan for public comment prior to implementation Comment letters - unsolicited (~3,000 rec’d) Financial Accounting Foundation 401 Merritt 7 P.O.
