  10. ASU 2014-05Service Concession Arrangements Public sector entity Private sector entity operate Infrastructure

  11. ASU 2014-05Service Concession Arrangements, continued Scope Service concession arrangements between private-sector operating entity and public-sector grantor when arrangement meets both of the following: • Grantor controls, or has ability to modify/approve, the services by operating entity, who provides the services, and at what price • Grantor controls, through ownership, beneficial entitlement or residual interest in infrastructure at end of arrangement

  12. ASU 2014-05Service Concession Arrangements, continued Operating entity cannot apply: • ASC 840, Leases, accounting guidance to the service concession arrangement • ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, guidance to the infrastructure in a service concession arrangement Apply other guidance such as ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, to account for revenue and costs related to construction, upgrade, or operation of services

  14. ASU 2014-08Discontinued operations Definition: Discontinued operation Component of an entity, a group of components of an entity, a business, or a nonprofit activity whose disposal marks a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results Continuing involvement/cash flows no longer a factor in classification But information still needs to be disclosed

  15. Discontinued operationsExamples

  16. ASU 2014-08Discontinued operations - presentation Balance sheet: • Present separately the assets and liabilities of the discontinued operation in all periods (including prior periods when not yet classified as held for sale) Income statement: • Separately report discontinued operation's results as a separate component of income before extraordinary items • Present or disclose the gain or loss on disposal separately

  17. New disclosures about continuing involvement • A description of the nature of activities giving rise to the continuing involvement • The expected duration of continuing involvement • The amount of cash inflows and outflows from and to, respectively, the discontinued operation after its disposal • Revenues and expenses presented in continuing operations after the disposal that were previously eliminated in the consolidation process

  18. ASU 2014-08Discontinued operations – effective date and transition • Public business entities, NFP's that have issued or are conduit bond obligors for market securities, and acquisitions classified as held for sale: Effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and for interim periods within those years. • All other entities: Effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. • Prospective application • Early adoption permitted for disposals or held for sale classifications not previously reported

  26. Private Company CouncilProject update

  27. ASU 2014-02Accounting for Goodwill Scope: • Goodwill arising from a business combination • Goodwill resulting from equity method accounting or fresh-start reporting • If elected, alternative must be applied to all goodwill

  28. ASU 2014-02Accounting for Goodwill, continued Amortization (change from ED): • Straight-line basis over 10 years • Shorter life may be used if more appropriate Example: • Acquisition of Entity A where Entity A's major asset is a license with a life of eight years. • Entity A concludes that amortizing goodwill over the life of the license is more appropriate than over 10 years.

  29. ASU 2014-02Accounting for Goodwill, continued Impairment: • Elect to test for impairment at either: • Entity level • Reporting unit level • Test for impairment only when triggeringevent occurs • Option to first perform qualitative assessment to determine if quantitative test is needed • No impairment review of equity method goodwill

  30. ASU 2014-02Accounting for Goodwill, continued Derecognition: • Allocate goodwill to business being disposed of in determining gain/loss on disposal • Allocate using a "reasonable and rational approach" Presentation requirements: • Separate line item in balance sheet • Split amortization and impairment between continuing and discontinued operations (if any) in the income statement

  31. ASU 2014-02Effective date and transition • Effective prospectively for new goodwill in annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and for interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. • Goodwill existing at the beginning of the period of adoption is amortized prospectively over ten years(or less if more appropriate) • Early adoption permitted including forannual or interim period for which financial statements have not beenmade available

  32. ASU 2014-03Simplified hedge accounting approach Scope: • Private companies, other than financial institutions • Receive-variable, pay-fixed interest rate swaps All the following criteria must be met: • Variable rate on swap and borrowing is based on same index and reset period • Swap is "plain-vanilla" interest rate swap • Re-pricing and settlement dates match • Swap's fair value at inception is at or near zero • Swap's notional amount matches debt's hedged principal amount • Interest payments are designated as hedged

  33. ASU 2014-03Simplified hedge accounting approach, continued ASU 2014-03 provides flexibility in application: • May apply on a swap-by-swap basis • May apply to arrangements where variable interest is based on an index not identified as a benchmark in existing ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging • Any cap or floor in debt must have comparable cap or floor in the swap • Re-pricing and settlement dates do not need to match exactly; can be within "a few days" • Swap's fair value at inception does not have to be zero; can be "near zero"

  34. ASU 2014-03Simplified hedge accounting approach, continued Relief from existing guidance: • May assume no ineffectiveness • May measure at settlement value rather than fair value • Difference is that settlement value does not reflect nonperformance risk • May defer completion of hedge documentation until the date when the first annual financial statements are available for issuance after hedge inception Note: At the point the hedge no longer satisfies the alternative criteria, then must prospectively account for using ASC 815

  35. ASU 2014-03Simplified hedge accounting approach, continued NO RELIEF FROM: • Compliance with existing cash flow hedge documentation requirements: • Entity must document methods they intend to use to assess effectiveness and measure ineffectiveness • May use "critical terms match" approach to documentation • Quarterly re-assessment • Assess counterparty credit risk 2. Disclosure requirements under ASC 815 and ASC 820

  36. ASU 2014-03Effective date and transition • Effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and for interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. • Early adoption permitted • Must elect, on a swap-by-swap basis: • Modified retrospective approach • Full retrospective approach

  37. ASU 2014-07VIE exemption for common control leases Scope: • Lease arrangement between the two entities • Private company lessee and the lessor must be under common control • Leasing activity with the lessor must be substantially all of the activity between the two entities • If lessee explicitly guarantees/provides collateral for any obligation of the lessor, the principal amount of the obligation at inception cannot exceed the value of the asset leased

  38. ASU 2014-07VIE exemption for common control leases, continued Accounting: • Allows private companies an exemption from the requirement to consolidate the lessor under common control in existing variable interest entity (VIE) guidance • Alternative must be applied to all leasing arrangements with current and future lessors under common control Disclosure: • Key terms of arrangement • Amount and description of lessee's exposure to lessor's liabilities • Qualitative description of circumstances where lessee may need to provide financial support to lessor • VIE disclosures not required

  39. VIE exemption for common control leasesSale and leaseback to/from a VIE • The proposal does not provide relief from sale and leaseback accounting, including continuing involvement. • A "failed sale" will continue to be reflected on the balance sheet.

  40. ASU 2014-07Effective date and transition • Effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2014 and for interim periods within annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. • Retrospective application • Early adoption permitted

  48. Revenue recognition modelA matter of control (even for services) • Control – the ability of the customer to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all the remaining benefits from, an asset (also includes preventing others from directing the use of, or obtaining the benefits from) • Revenue recognized upon satisfaction of a performance obligation (promised goods or services are transferred) • Transfer occurs when the customer obtains control In the original proposal, no provision for partial performance

  49. Revenue recognition model The compromise • Control transfers either over time or at a point in time • Must first evaluate if over time • If not, then point in time
