Issued January
2013
Effective for periods
beginning after
December 15, 2013
Consider the financial reporting requirements for government combinations that are accomplished through mergers, acquisitions, and transfers of operations Addresses government’s unique conditions and circumstances
Analysis of government combinations that have taken place in both the general government area (ex. city/county consolidations), and the business type activities area (ex. healthcare organizations)
Address certain spin-off issues (ex. A library district that was formerly a department in a primary government) – a transfer of operations
Project Objectives
4
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 16, Business Combinations This guidance was never intended for the public sector and its
application to the public sector has proven to be problematic Addresses conditions and circumstances that are not normally
encountered in government combinations Because a government combination project was already on the
GASB Board’s agenda, these were not incorporated in GASB Statement No. 62 APB 30 – Discontinued operations FASB 141 and revision – Business combinations FASB 164 – Not-for-profit entities, mergers, and acquisitions
Existing Guidance
5
Scope includes: Combinations in which NO consideration is
provided Government mergers Transfers of operations
Combinations in which consideration is provided Government acquisitions
Disposals of government operations
Scope
6
Scope does not include: Assets and liabilities comprising less than an
operation
Obtaining control of another organization that remains a legally separate entity (already addressed in Statement 14)
Acquisition of equity interest (already addressed in Statement 14)
Scope
7
To distinguish a combination from an acquisition of assets and related liabilities, consider:
“Operations” is defined as an integrated set of activities conducted and managed for the purpose of providing identifiable services with associated assets and liabilities
Service continuation: Obligation or responsibility (intent) to continue to provide the services that were provided by the previously separate governments, organizations, or operations
Government Operations
8
To be considered a government combination, the arrangement should result in the continuation of a substantial portion of the services provided by the previously separate entities or their operations after the transaction has occurred.
Terms of arrangement usually establish whether service continuation was intended
If not, professional judgment should be used
This distinguishes a combination from a contribution or purchase of assets and related liabilities
Government Combinations
9
The requirements distinguish between government combinations that involve significant (or lack) of financial consideration Government merger—combinations of legally separate
entities without the exchange of significant consideration Government acquisitions—transactions in which a
government acquires another entity, or its operations, in exchange for the payment of significant consideration
Combinations not involving entire legally separate entities and in which no significant consideration is exchanged (shared service arrangements, reorganizations, redistricting, annexations, arrangements where an operation is transferred to a new government created to provide those services) – transfer of operations
Overall Approach
10
Government Merger Insignificant or no consideration exchanged, and
either: Two or more separate legal entities combine to form a
new entity One or more of the prior entities cease to exist
Government Acquisition One government acquires another entity (or its
operations) in exchange for significant consideration
Transfer of Operations A government combination involving operations rather
than a legally separate entity Could be a transfer to a continuing entity or creation of a
new entity
Types of Government Combinations
11
Often guided by statute Some states have passed or considered
legislation to cause or encourage streamlining (too many layers)
Few successes for general purpose governmentsShared service alternative
Government Mergers
12
Government combination of legally separate entities in which insignificant or no financial consideration is exchanged and which includes one of the following:
An entirely new government is formed (A+B=C) or 2 or more governments (or one or more governments and one or
more nongovernmental entities) cease to exist as legally separate entities and are combined to form one or more new governments Merger date is the date the combination becomes effective Initial reporting period of the new government begins on the
merger date The assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and
deferred inflows of resources of the merging entities would be recognized and measured in the statement of net position at their “carrying value” as of the merger date
Government Mergers
13
If the merging entities decide before the merger date to dispose of capital assets and the new government will use those capital assets until the disposal occurs:Capital assets should be measured and reported at their
carrying values by the new government If the new government will not use the capital assets that
have been identified for disposal or if the merging entities decide before the merger date that the manner or duration of use of capital assets will change:Capital assets should be evaluated for impairment in
accordance with provisions of Statement 42, as amended to determine if the carrying values should be adjusted
Government Mergers
14
A single continuing government remains (A+B=B+) One or more legally separate governments or
nongovernmental entities cease to exist and their operations are absorbed into, and provided by, one or more continuing governmentsMerger date is the beginning of the reporting period in which the
combination occurs, (as though the entities were already combined as of that date) regardless of the actual date of the merger
The assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources of the merging entities would be measured in the statement of net position at their “carrying value” as of the merger date
Government Mergers
15
If the merging entities decide before the actual date of the merger to dispose of capital assets of the dissolving government but the continuing government will use those capital assets until the disposal occurs: Capital assets should be measured and reported at
their carrying values by the continuing government If the continuing government plans to dispose of the
capital assets that it will not use or if decisions are made before the actual date of the merger that the manner or duration of use of specific capital assets of the dissolving government will change: Capital assets should be evaluated for impairment in
accordance with provisions of Statement 42, as amended
Government Mergers
16
Acquisition date is the date the acquiring government obtains control of the acquired entity’s assets or becomes obligated for its liabilities or its operations (typically when consideration is paid)
Assets and liabilities normally would be recorded at their acquisition value as of the acquisition date – price that would be paid for acquiring similar assets, having similar service capacity, or discharging the liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date
Deferred outflows of resources and deferred inflows of resources should be brought forward at their carrying values
Government Acquisitions
17
Consideration Given: If exceeds the net position acquired, the difference
would be treated as a deferred outflow of resources Attributed to future periods in a systematic and rational
manner, based on professional judgment If net position exceeds the consideration given
Considered a contribution – if the seller accepted the lower amount for the purpose of providing an economic benefit to the acquiring government If not – the difference would be eliminated by reducing the
acquisition values assigned to noncurrent assets (other than investments reported at fair value).
If the difference exceeded the acquisition value of all noncurrent assets (other than investments reported at fair value), the remainder would be treated as a special item in the flows statement.
Government Acquisitions
18
Government combination involving the operations of a government or nongovernmental entity, rather than a combination of legally separate entities, and in which no significant consideration is exchanged.
Operation - an integrated set of activities with associated assets and liabilities that is conducted and managed for the purpose of providing identifiable services.
Transfers of Operations
19
Entered into for similar reasons as government mergers
Transfer date is the date the transferee government obtains control of the acquired operation’s assets or becomes obligated for its liabilities. If the transfer of operations results in the formation of a
new government – the new government’s initial reporting period begins at the effective transfer date
If the transfer of operations results in a continuing government – the continuing government should report the transfer as a transaction in the financial statements for the reporting period in which it occurs
Transfers of Operations
20
Assets, deferred outflows of resources, liabilities, and deferred inflows of resources of the transferred operation would be incorporated at their carrying value as of the effective transfer date
Transfers of Operations
21
The disposing government would report a special item for any gain or loss on the disposal of operations in the period in which the disposal occurs, based on either:Effective transfer date of the transfer of
operations, orThe date of sale for operations that are
sold
Disposals of Government Operations
22

Facts: On November 2, 2014, the citizens of Geary Township and the citizens of the surrounding Sample Village approved referendum 2015-01 to merge their legally separate governments into a single new government that will be incorporated as Sample City. The merger will enable the new government (Sample City) to take advantage of cost efficiencies by the elimination of redundancies in service. The referendum establishes that a governing body for Sample City will consist of four representatives from each of the merging governments and includes a plan for the merger, formally known as the Municipal Consolidation Plan (merger plan).
CASE #1: Facts
28
Facts-continued: The merger is effective as of January 1, 2015. As part of the merger plan, Sample City officials agreed to sell some of the redundant capital assets as soon as possible after the merger date, and those capital assets will not be used pending their sale. Sample City officials determined these capital assets are impaired as a result of the decision to dispose of them. Sample City officials determined that the decision to sell the assets resulted in a decrease of $4 million in the capital asset account of the governmental activities related to the agreed-upon closing of the Sample Village’s public works facilities. Officials of Sample City also determined an adjustment to the carrying value of inventory is necessary to reflect a consistent method of accounting, resulting in a decrease of $80,000.

Facts:
After assigning the acquisition values to the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed the City determined that the consideration provided ($3 million) exceeded the acquisition value of the net position acquired ($2.9 million) by $100,000. The City recognized a deferred outflow of resources for the excess consideration provided and establishes an attribution period for the deferred outflow of resources over future reporting periods. Because a substantial portion of operations acquired consists of capital assets, the City determines that it will attribute the excess amount of consideration provided over the next 15 years based upon its estimate of the remaining service lives of the capital assets the City has acquired.

Facts: Mountain Region Fire Authority (MRFA) is a separate municipal corporation, organized as a regional fire protection service authority. Under an intergovernmental agreement between the City of Price River (City) and the MRFA, the City will combine its fire protection operations with the MRFA for the purpose of providing services to the City’s citizens. On March 15, 2015, the City transferred the assets and liabilities comprising its fire service operations to the MRFA. The City transferred an administrative building, fire stations, engines, trucks, and various other equipment having a carrying value of $6.3 million. The MRFA will also assume $3.4 million of the City long-term debt related to fire service operations. There are no deferred outflows of resources or deferred inflows of resources associated with the City’s fire service operations.
CASE #3: Facts
61
Facts: The assets and liabilities transferred to the MRFA represent an integrated set of assets and liabilities managed for the purpose of providing fire services, thus meeting the definition of an operation. In addition, service continuation is presumed because the assets used by the City to provide fire services will be used in a similar manner by the MRFA to provide a similar service. There is no consideration given in the transaction.
CASE #3: Facts
62
Question: Does this qualify as a government combination (merger, acquisition, transfer of operations)?
Answer: YES, this is a transfer of operations.
CASE #3: Question and Answer
63
The MRFA recognizes the carrying values of assets and liabilities of the City’s fire service operations as of March 15, 2015, and a special item of $2.9 million representing the inflow of resources for the net position received. The MRFA determines that adjustments to the carrying values of assets related to the City’s fire service operations are not necessary to reflect a consistent method of accounting or to reflect the impairment of capital assets. The MRFA discloses the transfer of operations in the notes to its financial statements.

Accounting and Financial Reporting for Nonexchange Financial Guarantees
GASB Statement 70
69
Issued April 2013
Effective for periods
beginning after
December 15, 2013
70
To improve the recognition, measurement, and disclosure guidance for state and local governments that have extended or received financial guarantees that are nonexchange transactions.
Project Objective
71
LIMITED TO NONEXCHANGE TRANSACTIONS Some governments extend financial guarantees for the
obligations of another government, a not-for-profit entity, or a private entity without directly receiving consideration in exchange (a nonexchange transaction).
As part of this nonexchange financial guarantee, a government commits to indemnify the holder of the obligation if the entity that issued the obligation does not fulfill its payment requirement.
Some governments issue obligations that are guaranteed by other entities in a nonexchange transaction.
Scope of the Project
72
Does not apply to guarantees related to special assessment debt
within the scope of Statement 6 Exchange transactions Exchange-like transactions
Scope Exclusions
73
A school district that receives a financial guarantee from the state government for the district’s debt service payments on construction bonds it has issued.
Financial Guarantees-Example
74
A nonexchange financial guarantee is a guarantee of an obligation of a legally separate entity, including a blended or discretely presented component unit, which requires that guarantor to indemnify a third-party obligation holder, under specified conditions.
-Pledges of future revenues are not financial guarantees as they are contingent upon the collection of future revenues.
What is a Nonexchange Financial Guarantee
75
A government should recognize a liability and expense - when qualitative factors or historical data indicate that it is more likely than not that the government will be required to make a payment related to the nonexchange financial guarantees it extended for liabilities of other entities or individuals. Initiation of the process of entering into bankruptcy or financial reorganization Breach of a debt contract in relation to the guaranteed obligation, such as
failure to meet rate covenants or coverage ratios, or default or delinquency in interest or principal payments
Indicators of significant financial difficulty, such as failure to transfer deposits from debt service funds to paying agents or trustees on a timely basis or drawing on a debt service reserve fund to make debt service payments.
A government that has historical data on the default frequency of a group of guarantees
Liability Measurement – Economic Resources Measurement
76
The amount of the liability recognized should be: The best estimate of the discounted future outflows
related to the guarantee expected to be incurred, or If there is no best estimate but a range of estimated
future outflows can be established— Discounted present value of the minimum amount within the
range.
Expenses related to nonexchange financial guarantees should be classified in the same manner as grants or financial assistance payments to other entities or individuals.
Liability Measurement – Economic Resources Measurement
77
A government should recognize a fund liability and an expenditure to the extent the liability is normally expected to be liquidated with expendable available resources (when payments are due and payable on the guaranteed obligation) - when qualitative factors or historical data indicates that it is more likely than not that the government will be required to make a payment as a result of nonexchange financial guarantees it extended on liabilities of other entities or individuals
Expenses related to nonexchange financial guarantees should be classified in the same manner as grants or financial assistance payments to other entities or individuals.
Liability Measurement – Current Financial Resources Measurement
78
Under both the economic resources measurement focus and the current financial resources measurement focus If a government is required to repay a guarantor for
nonexchange financial guarantee payments made on the government’s obligations, the government should reclassify that portion of its previously recognized liability for the guaranteed obligation as a liability to the guarantor.
The government that issued the guaranteed obligation should continue to report its liability until that portion of the liability is legally released, such as when a plan of adjustment is confirmed by the court. When a government is legally released as an obligor from the obligation and
from any liability to the guarantor, the government should recognize a revenue to the extent of the reduction of its guaranteed liabilities.
Governments Issuing a Guaranteed Obligation
79
Any government that extends nonexchange financial guarantees should disclosure the following by type of guarantee: Description of the nonexchange financial guarantee:
Legal authority and limits for extending the guarantees and types of obligations guaranteed.
The relationship to the entity or entities issuing the obligations that are guaranteed
Arrangements for recovering payments from the issuers of the obligations that are guaranteed
Length of time of the guarantees The total amount of all guarantees extended that are
outstanding
Disclosures
80
A government that recognizes a nonexchange financial guarantee liability or has made payments during the reporting period on the guarantees extended:
Brief description of the timing of recognition and measurement of the liabilities and a table presenting the changes in recognized guarantee liabilities including: Beginning of year balances Increases, including initial recognition and adjustments increasing
estimates Guarantee payments made and adjustments decreasing estimates End of year balances
Cumulative amounts of indemnification payments that have been made on guarantees extended that are outstanding
Amounts expected to be recovered from indemnification payments that have been made
Disclosures
81
Governments that have outstanding obligations that have been guaranteed by another entity as part of a nonexchange transaction should disclose the following information about the guarantees by type of guarantee: Name of the entity providing the guarantee The amount of the guarantee Length of time of the guarantee Amount paid, if any, by the entity extending the guarantee on
obligations of the government during the current reporting period The cumulative amount paid by the entity extending the guarantee on
outstanding obligations of the government Description of requirements to repay the entity extending the
guarantee The outstanding amounts, if any, required to repay the entity
providing the guarantee
