Key Words – Stock Compensation

ASU 2014-12Compensation – Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period

• Previous guidance:• Share-based awards with a performance target that could be achieved

after required service period no specific guidance before.• Some accounted for the award regardless of the performance

target (vest over requisite service period).• Others accounted for the award when target achieved.

• New guidance:• Compensation cost recognized in the period it becomes probable the

target will be achieved for which service has already been provided.• Recognize remaining compensation over remaining required service

period.

CPE Full Day 2016

Key Words – Stock Compensation (Continued)

Example

• Facts• Non-Public Technology Company (TC) grants unvested shares to

employees with a 3-year service condition. • The Shares will only be transferred if TC completes an IPO within 10

years of the grant date.• If there is no IPO by that date, the shares will expire worthless. • After 3 years of service are provided, employees may still receive the

underlying's shares if the IPO occurs with the 10-year period. • Assume the awards are equity classified, there are no expected (or

actual) forfeitures, and the IPO occurs in Year 4. • The grant date fair value of the awards is $100 thousand if the terms

of the award are a performance condition. The grant date fair value of the award is $70 thousand if the terms of the award are considered a post-vesting restriction.

CPE Full Day 2016

Key Words – Stock Compensation (Continued)

Example, continued

• Facts, continued• Terms of the award are treated as a performance condition. • Grant date fair value does not consider probability of performance

condition being met. • Compensation cost recognized only when achievement of the

performance condition is probable.

Analysis

• No compensation cost is recognized during the 3-year service period as the IPO is not deemed to be probable.

• Compensation cost of $100 thousand is recognized in year 4 when the IPO occurs.

CPE Full Day 2016

Key Words – Going Concern

ASU 2014-15Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

• Current guidance:• Nothing in GAAP about management’s responsibility to evaluate

whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern or to provide related disclosures.

• New guidance:• Requires management to evaluate, each reporting period, whether

there are conditions / events that raise substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of the financial statements being issued or available to be issued.

• Effective for years ending after December 15, 2016.• Early application permitted.

CPE Full Day 2016

Key Words – Business Combinations

ASU 2014-18Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Identifiable Intangible Assets in a Business Combination (a consensus of the Private Company Council)

• Previous guidance:• An acquirer recognizes most assets acquired and liabilities assumed in

a business combination at their acquisition-date fair values, including identifiable intangible assets.

• New guidance:• Do not separately identify customer-related intangible assets not

capable of being sold or licensed independently from other assets of a business (customer lists) and non-compete agreements.

• Instead, include them with goodwill.• Adopt ASU 2014-18? Then adopt ASU 2014-03 to amortize goodwill

(but not vice-versa).

CPE Full Day 2016

Key Words – Extraordinary and Unusual Items

ASU 2015-01Income Statement – Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items

• Previous guidance:• Events or transactions both unusual in nature and infrequency of

occurrence = extraordinary items.• Segregate the item(s) from ordinary operations/show separately (net

of tax) below income from continuing operations.• New guidance:

• Eliminates the concept of extraordinary items from US GAAP.• If a material unusual and / or infrequent event, report as a separate

component of income from continuing operations and / or disclose.• Examples include material damage by rare weather events (i.e. hail

storm where hail storms rarely occur).• Implement retrospectively or prospectively.

CPE Full Day 2016

Key Words – Debt Issuance Costs

ASU 2015-03Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs

• Previous guidance:• Present debt issuance costs (loan fees) as a deferred charge (asset).• Amortize over life of the loan and record to amortization expense.

• New guidance:• Deduct from carrying value of the financial liability (not as a separate

asset; similar to a debt discount).• Record amortization to interest expense.• Does not address presentation or subsequent measurement of debt

issuance costs related to line of credit arrangements.• ASU 2015-15: SEC - no objection to such costs being recorded as

an asset and amortized over the term of the arrangement.• Apply retrospectively.

CPE Full Day 2016

Key Words – Debt Issuance Costs (Continued)

ExampleCompany A, has $100 million revolving credit facility, maturing in December 2020, with $25 million in outstanding borrowings against it and $1 million in unamortized initial, up-front commitment fees that were incurred to secure the facility. Additionally, Company A has $200 million in term notes due in December of 2020 and $3 million in unamortized debt issuance costs that were incurred as a part of the debt transaction.

How should Company A reflect the impact of adopting pre and post ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15 adoption?

• Previous guidance:• Fully benefit-responsive investment contracts are measured at fair

value for presentation and disclosure (but contract value to determine EBP net assets).

• New guidance:• Fully benefit-responsive investment contracts at contract value.• Do not disaggregate investments (do not split SDA’s and do not

disclose investments > 5% of net assets).• Can measure investments at month-end closest to the plan’s fiscal

year, when the fiscal period does not coincide with a month-end.• Apply retrospectively for Part I and II and prospectively for Part III.

• Previous guidance:• Follow the effective dates in ASU 2014-02, 2014-03, 2014-07 and

2014-18 (private company alternatives).• New guidance:

• For some, effective dates were removed and no initial preferabilityassessment required for others.
