14. 13-14 A Thousand Millionaires! Traveling to space or embarking on an expedition to excavate lost Mayan ruins are normally the stuff of adventure novels. But for employees of Facebook, these and other lavish dreams moved closer to reality when the world’s No. 1 online social network went public through an initial public offering (IPO) that may have created at least a thousand millionaires. The IPO was the largest in Internet history, valuing Facebook at over $104 billion. With all these riches to be had, why did Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, delay taking his company public? Consider that the main motivation for issuing shares to the public is to raise money so you can grow your business. However, unlike a manufacturer or even an online retailer, Facebook doesn’t need major physical resources, it doesn’t have inventory, and it doesn’t really need much money for marketing. So in the past, the company hasn’t had much need for additional cash beyond what it was already generating on its own. Finally, as head of a closely held, nonpublic company, Zuckerberg was subject to far fewer regulations than a public company. Source: “Status Update: I’m Rich!

54. 13-54 Why Did Reebok Buy Its Own Stock? In a bold (and some would say risky) move, Reebok at one time bought back nearly a third of its shares. This repurchase of shares dramatically reduced Reebok’s available cash. In fact, the company borrowed significant funds to accomplish the repurchase. In a press release, management stated that it was repurchasing the shares because it believed its stock was severely underpriced. The repurchase of so many shares was meant to signal management’s belief in good future earnings. Skeptics, however, suggested that Reebok’s management was repurchasing shares to make it less likely that another company would acquire Reebok (in which case Reebok’s top managers would likely lose their jobs). By depleting its cash, Reebok became a less attractive acquisition target. Acquiring companies like to purchase companies with large cash balances so they can pay off debt used in the acquisition.

60. 13-60 Key Points Similarities  Aside from the terminology used, the accounting transactions for the issuance of shares and the purchase of treasury stock are similar.  Like GAAP, IFRS does not allow a company to record gains or losses on purchases of its own shares. LEARNING OBJECTIVE Compare the accounting for stockholders’ equity under GAAP and IFRS. 5 LO 5 A Look at IFRS

61. 13-61 Key Points Differences  Under IFRS, the term reserves is used to describe all equity accounts other than those arising from contributed (paid-in) capital. This would include, for example, reserves related to retained earnings, asset revaluations, and fair value differences.  Many countries have a different mix of investor groups than in the United States. For example, in Germany, financial institutions like banks are not only major creditors of corporations but often are the largest corporate stockholders as well. In the United States, Asia, and the United Kingdom, many companies rely on substantial investment from private investors. LO 5 A Look at IFRS

62. 13-62 Key Points  There are often terminology differences for equity accounts. The following summarizes some of the common differences in terminology. LO 5 A Look at IFRS

63. 13-63 Key Points  A major difference between IFRS and GAAP relates to the account Revaluation Surplus. Revaluation surplus arises under IFRS because companies are permitted to revalue their property, plant, and equipment to fair value under certain circumstances. This account is part of general reserves under IFRS and is not considered contributed capital.  IFRS often uses terms such as retained profits or accumulated profit or loss to describe retained earnings. The term retained earnings is also often used.  Equity is given various descriptions under IFRS, such as shareholders’ equity, owners’ equity, capital and reserves, and share holders’ funds.
