  • FASB Statement 157
  • Fair Value Measurements

3
FASB Statement 157
  • Guidance on determining fair value evolved
    piecemeal and is inconsistent
  • SFAS 157
  • Defines fair value
  • Establishes a framework for measuring fair value
  • Expands disclosure requirements about fair value
  • SFAS 157 applies under other accounting
    pronouncements that require or permit fair value
    measurements it does not require any new fair
    value measurements.

4
FASB Statement 157
  • Selected scope exceptions
  • SFAS 123R share-based payment transactions
  • ARB 43, Chapter 4, Inventory Pricing
  • Does not eliminate the practicability exceptions
    to fair value measurements in accounting
    pronouncements within the scope of SFAS 157
  • APB 29
  • SFAS 87, 106, 107, 140, 141, 143, 146, 153
  • FIN 45, 47

5
FASB Statement 157
  • Fair value is the price that would be received to
    sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
    an orderly transaction between market
    participants at the measurement date
  • A fair value measurement is for a particular
    asset or liability
  • A fair value measurement assumes that the
    transaction to sell the asset or transfer the
    liability occurs in the principal market or, in
    the absence of a principal market, the most
    advantageous market
  • A fair value measurement assumes the highest and
    best use of the asset by market participants

6
FASB Statement 157
  • Valuation techniques used to measure fair value
    should maximize the use of observable inputs and
    minimize the use of unobservable inputs
  • Fair value hierarchy
  • Level 1 inputs quoted prices in active markets
    for identical assets or liabilities
  • Level 2 inputs those other than quoted prices
    that are observable for the asset or liability
  • Level 3 inputs unobservable inputs

7
FASB Statement 157
  • SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements
    issued fiscal years beginning after November 15,
    2007.
  • SFAS 157 must be applied prospectively.
  • FSP 157-2 delays the effective date of SFAS 157
    to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008
    for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial
    liabilities, except for items that are recognized
    or disclosed at fair value in the financial
    statements on a recurring basis (at least
    annually).

8
  • FASB Statement 159
  • The Fair Value Option for Financial
  • Assets and Financial Liabilities

9
FASB Statement 159
  • SFAS 159 allows entities to choose to measure
    eligible items at fair value (the fair value
    option)
  • The entity must report unrealized gains and
    losses on these opted items in earnings
  • The decision to elect the fair value option is
  • Applied instrument by instrument
  • Irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs)
  • Applied only to an entire instrument and not to
    only specified risks, cash flows, or portions of
    that instrument

10
FASB Statement 159
  • Entities may elect the fair value option for the
    following items
  • A recognized financial asset and financial
    liability
  • A firm commitment that would otherwise not be
    recognized at inception and that involves only
    financial instruments
  • A written loan commitment
  • The rights and obligations under an insurance
    contract that is not a financial instrument but
    whose terms permit the insurer to settle by
    paying a third party to provide those goods or
    services

11
FASB Statement 159
  • The rights and obligations under a warranty that
    is not a financial instrument but whose terms
    permit the warrantor to settle by paying a third
    party to provide those goods or services
  • A host financial instrument resulting from the
    separation of an embedded nonfinancial derivative
    instrument from a nonfinancial hybrid instrument
    under paragraph 12 of SFAS 133 (example is an
    instrument in which the value of the bifurcated
    embedded derivative is payable in cash, services,
    or merchandise but the debt host is payable only
    in cash)

12
FASB Statement 159
  • The following recognized financial assets and
    financial liabilities are not eligible items
  • An investment in a subsidiary that the entity is
    required to consolidate
  • An interest in a variable interest entity that an
    entity is required to consolidate
  • Employers and plans obligations for pension
    benefits, other postretirement benefits,
    postemployment benefits, employee stock option
    and stock purchase plans and other forms of
    deferred compensation arrangements
  • Financial assets and financial liabilities
    recognized under leases
  • Deposit liabilities, withdrawable on demand, of
    banks, savings and loan associations, credit
    unions, and other similar depository institutions
  • Financial instruments that are, in whole or in
    part, classified by the issuer as a component of
    shareholders equity

13
FASB Statement 159
  • The following recognized financial assets and
    financial liabilities are not eligible items
  • An investment in a subsidiary that the entity is
    required to consolidate
  • An interest in a variable interest entity that an
    entity is required to consolidate
  • Employers and plans obligations for pension
    benefits, other postretirement benefits,
    postemployment benefits, employee stock option
    and stock purchase plans and other forms of
    deferred compensation arrangements
  • Financial assets and financial liabilities
    recognized under leases
  • Deposit liabilities, withdrawable on demand, of
    banks, savings and loan associations, credit
    unions, and other similar depository institutions
  • Financial instruments that are, in whole or in
    part, classified by the issuer as a component of
    shareholders equity

14
FASB Statement 159
  • An entity may decide whether to elect the fair
    value option for each eligible item on its
    election date, which is the date that one of the
    following occurs
  • The entity first recognizes the eligible item
  • The entity enters into an eligible firm
    commitment
  • Financial assets that have been reported at fair
    value with unrealized gains and losses included
    in earnings because of specialized principles
    cease to qualify for that specialized accounting
  • The accounting treatment for an investment in
    another entity changes because the investment
    becomes subject to the equity method or the
    investor ceases to consolidate a subsidiary or a
    variable interest entity but retains an interest

15
FASB Statement 159
  • An event that requires an eligible item to be
    measured at fair value at the time of the event
    but does not require fair value measurement at
    each reporting date after that (excluding the
    recognition of impairment)

16
FASB Statement 159
  • Examples of events that require remeasurement of
    eligible items at fair value, initial recognition
    of eligible items, or both, and thereby create an
    election date for the fair value option are
  • Business combinations
  • Consolidation or deconsolidation of a subsidiary
    or variable interest entity
  • Significant modifications of debt

17
FASB Statement 159
  • The fair value option may be elected for a single
    eligible item without electing it for other
    identical items, with the following four
    exceptions
  • If multiple advances are made to one borrower
    pursuant to a single contract and the individual
    advances lose their identify and become part of a
    larger loan balance, the fair value option should
    be applied only to the larger balance and not to
    each advance individually
  • If the fair value option is applied to an
    investment that would otherwise be accounted for
    under the equity method, it must be applied to
    all of the investors financial interests in that
    entity

18
FASB Statement 159
  • If the fair value option is applied to an
    eligible insurance or reinsurance contract, it
    should be applied to all claims and obligations
    under that contract
  • If the fair value option is elected for an
    insurance contract for which integrated or
    nonintegrated contract features or coverages are
    issued, the fair value option must be applied to
    those other features or coverages

19
FASB Statement 159
  • Assets and liabilities reported at fair value
    under SFAS 159 must be reported separately from
    the carrying amounts of similar assets and
    liabilities measured using another measurement
    attribute
  • Present the aggregate of fair value and
    non-fair-value amounts in the same line item in
    the balance sheet and parenthetically disclose
    the amount measured at fair value included in the
    aggregate amount
  • Present two separate line items to display the
    fair value and non-fair-value carrying amounts
  • Cash receipts and payments related to items
    measured at fair value should be classified
    according to their nature in statements of cash
    flows

20
FASB Statement 159
  • SFAS 159 became effective as of the beginning of
    each reporting entitys first fiscal year that
    begins after November 15, 2007.

21
Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008
  • Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008
    (EESA) signed into law on October 3, 2008
  • Section 133 mandated that the SEC conduct a study
    on mark-to-market accounting standards as
    provided by SFAS 157 (in consultation with the
    Federal Reserve and the Secretary of the
    Treasury)
  • EESA mandated that six key issues be addressed

22
Six Key Issues Addressed in Response to EESA
  • Effects of fair value accounting standards on
    financial institutions balance sheets
  • Impact of fair value accounting on bank failures
    in 2008
  • Impact of fair value accounting on the quality of
    financial information to investors
  • Process used by the FASB in developing accounting
    standards
  • Alternatives to fair value accounting standards
  • Advisability and feasibility of modifications to
    fair value accounting standards

23
Recommendations in SEC Response
  1. SFAS 157 should be improved, but not suspended
  2. Existing fair value and mark-to-market
    requirements should not be suspended
  3. Additional measures should be taken to improve
    the application and practice related to existing
    fair value requirements (particularly as they
    relate to both Level 2 and Level 3 estimates
  4. The accounting for financial asset impairments
    should be addressed

24
Recommendations in SEC Response
  1. Implement further guidance to foster the use of
    sound judgment
  2. Accounting standards should continue to be
    established to meet the needs of investors
  3. Additional formal measures to address the
    operation of existing accounting standards in
    practice should be established
  4. Address the need to simplify the accounting for
    investments in financial assets

25
FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-1(Issued
Before SEC Response)
  • SFAS 157 does not apply under SFAS 13, Accounting
    for Leases, and other accounting pronouncements
    that address fair value measurements for purposes
    of lease classification or measurement under SFAS
    13
  • This scope exception does not apply to assets
    acquired and liabilities assumed in a business
    combination that are required to be measured at
    fair value under SFAS 141 or SFAS 141R,
    regardless of whether those assets and
    liabilities are related to leases

26
FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-2(Issued
Before SEC Response)
  • Defers the effective date of SFAS 157 to fiscal
    years beginning after November 15, 2008 for
    nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities
  • except for items that are recognized or disclosed
    at fair value in an entitys financial statements
    on a recurring basis (at least annually)
  • Nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities
    include all assets and liabilities other than
    financial assets and financial liabilities (per
    SFAS 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial
    Assets and Financial Liabilities)

27
FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-3(Issued
Before SEC Response)
  • Clarifies the application of SFAS 157 in a market
    that is not active
  • Added an illustrative example to SFAS 157
  • Example relates to an entity that invested in a
    AA-rated tranche of a collateralized debt
    obligation security, with the underlying
    collateral for the collateralized debt obligation
    security being unguaranteed nonconforming
    residential mortgage loans
  • This FSP became effective upon its issuance

28
FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-4(Issued After
SEC Response)
  • Provides guidance for estimating fair value in
    accordance with SFAS 157 when the volume and
    level of activity for the asset or liability have
    been significantly decreased
  • Provides guidance on identifying circumstances
    that indicate a transaction is not orderly
  • Applies to all assets and liabilities within the
    scope of accounting pronouncements that require
    or permit fair value measurements, except for the
    exemptions identified in SFAS 157 (e.g.,
    share-based payments)

29
FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-4(Selected
Items)
  • This FSP does not change the requirements in
    paragraphs 24-27 of SFAS 157, which provides
    guidance on the use of Level 1 inputs
  • Thus, it does not apply to quoted prices for an
    identical asset or liability in an active market
    (Level 1 input)
  • For example, although the volume and level of
    activity for an asset or liability may
    significantly decrease, transactions for the
    asset or liability may still occur with
    sufficient frequency and volume to provide
    pricing information on an ongoing basis

30
FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-4 (Par. 12)
  • An entity must evaluate the following factors to
    determine whether there has been a significant
    decrease in the volume and level of activity for
    the asset or liability when compared with normal
    market activity for the asset or liability (or
    similar assets or liabilities)
  • There are few recent transactions
  • Price quotations are not based on current
    information
  • Price quotations vary substantially, either over
    time or among market makers
  • Indexes that previously were highly correlated
    with the fair values of the asset or liability
    are demonstrably uncorrelated with recent
    indications of fair value for that asset or
    liability

31
FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-4 (Par 12)
  • There is a significant increase in implied
    liquidity risk premiums, yields, or performance
    indicators for observed transactions or quoted
    prices when compared with the entitys estimate
    of expected future cash flows, considering all
    available market data about credit and other
    nonperformance risk for the asset or liability
  • There is a wide bid-ask spread or significant
    increase in the bid-ask spread
  • There is a significant decline or absence of a
    market for new issuances (that is, a primary
    market) for the asset or liability or similar
    assets or liabilities
  • Little information is released publicly (e.g., a
    principal to principal market)

32
FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-4 (Par. 13)
  • If the entity concludes there has been a
    significant decrease in the volume and level of
    activity for the asset or liability in relation
    to normal market activity for the asset or
    liability (or similar assets or liabilities),
    transactions or quoted prices may not be
    determinative of fair value (for example, there
    may be increased instances of transactions that
    are not orderly).
  • In that case, further analysis of the
    transactions or quoted prices is needed, and a
    significant adjustment to the transactions or
    quoted prices is needed, and a significant
    adjustment to the transactions or quoted prices
    may be necessary.

33
FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-4 (Par. 14)
  • SFAS 157 does not prescribe a methodology for
    making significant adjustments to transactions or
    quoted prices when estimating fair value.
  • If there has been a significant decrease in the
    volume and level of activity for the asset or
    liability, a change in valuation technique or the
    use of multiple valuation techniques may be
    appropriate.
  • When weighting indications of fair value
    resulting from the use of multiple valuation
    techniques, a reporting entity shall consider the
    reasonableness of the range of fair value
    estimates.
  • The objective is to determine the point within
    that range that is most representative of fair
    value under current market conditions.
  • A wide range of fair value estimates may be an
    indication that further analysis is needed.

34
FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-4 (Par. 15)
  • Even in circumstances where there has been a
    significant decrease in the volume and level of
    activity for the asset or liability and
    regardless of the valuation technique(s) used,
    the objective of a fair value measurement remains
    the same.
  • Fair value is the price that would be received to
    sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in
    an orderly transaction (that is, not a forced
    liquidation or distressed sale) between market
    participants at the measurement date under
    current market conditions.

35
FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-4 (Par. 15-16)
  • Determining the price at which willing market
    participants would transact at the measurement
    date under current market conditions if there has
    been a significant decrease in the volume and
    level of activity for the asset or liability
    depends on the facts and circumstances and
    requires the use of significant judgment.
  • However, a reporting entitys intention to hold
    the asset or liability is not relevant in
    estimating fair value.
  • Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an
    entity-specific measurement.
  • A reporting entity shall evaluate the
    circumstances to determine whether the
    transaction is orderly based on the weight of
    evidence.

36
FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-4 (Par. 17)
  • The determination of whether a transaction is
    orderly (or not orderly) is more difficult if
    there has been a significant decrease in the
    volume and level of activity for the asset or
    liability.
  • Accordingly, a reporting entity shall consider
    the following guidance
  • If the weight of the evidence indicates the
    transaction is not orderly, a reporting entity
    shall place little, if any, weight (compared with
    other indications of fair value) on that
    transaction price when estimating fair value or
    market risk premiums.
  • If the weight of the evidence indicates the
    transaction is orderly, a reporting entity shall
    consider that transaction price when estimating
    fair value or market risk premiums. The amount
    of weight placed on that transaction price when
    compared with other indications of fair value
    will depend on the facts and circumstances such
    as the volume of the transaction, the
    comparability of the transaction to the asset or
    liability being measured at fair value, and the
    proximity of the transaction to the measurement
    date.

37
FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-4 (Par. 17)
  • If a reporting entity does not have sufficient
    information to conclude that the transaction is
    orderly or that the transaction is not orderly,
    it shall consider that transaction price when
    estimating fair value or market risk premiums.
    However, that transaction price may not be
    determinative of fair value (that is, that
    transaction price may not be the sole or primary
    basis for estimating fair value or market risk
    premiums.) A reporting entity shall place less
    weight on transactions on which a reporting
    entity does not have sufficient information to
    conclude whether the transaction is orderly when
    compared with other transactions that are known
    to be orderly.
  • In its determinations, a reporting entity need
    not undertake all possible efforts, but shall not
    ignore information that is available without
    undue cost and effort.
  • A reporting entity would be expected to have
    sufficient information to conclude whether a
    transaction is orderly when it is party to the
    transaction.

38
FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-4
  • Effective Date and Transition
  • FSP FAS157-4 is effective for interim and annual
    reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and
    must be applied prospectively.
  • Early adoption is permitted for periods ending
    after March 15, 2009.
  • If an entity elects to adopt early either FSP FAS
    115-2 and FAS 124-2 or FSP FAS 107-1 and APB
    28-1, it also is required to adopt early this
    FSP.

39
FSP FAS 115-1and FAS 124-1
  • This FSP
  • addresses the determination as to when an
    investment is considered impaired
  • whether that impairment is other than temporary
  • the measurement of an impairment loss
  • Issued November 3, 2005

40
FSP FAS 115-1and FAS 124-1Step 1 Determine
Whether an Investment is Impaired
  • Impairment must be assessed at the individual
    security level
  • Individual security level means the level and
    method of aggregation used by the reporting
    entity to measure realized and unrealized gains
    and losses on its debt and equity securities.
  • An investment is impaired if its fair value is
    less than its cost
  • Cost includes adjustments made to the cost basis
    of an investment for accretion, amortization,
    previous other-than-temporary impairments, and
    hedging.
  • Except as otherwise provided in this FSP, an
    investor must assess whether an investment is
    impaired in each reporting period.

41
FSP FAS 115-1and FAS 124-1Step 1 Determine
Whether an Investment is Impaired
  • An investor may not combine separate contracts (a
    debt security and a guarantee or other credit
    enhancement) for purposes of determining whether
    a debt security is impaired or can contractually
    be prepaid or otherwise settled in such a way
    that the investor would not recover substantially
    all of its cost.
  • For investments other than cost-method
    investments, if the fair value of the investment
    is less than its cost, proceed to Step 2 (i.e.,
    evaluate whether an impairment is other than
    temporary)

42
FSP FAS 115-1and FAS 124-1Step 1 Determine
Whether an Investment is Impaired
  • Since the fair value of cost-method investments
    is not readily determinable, the evaluation of
    whether an investment is impaired should be
    determined as follows
  • If an investor has estimated the fair value of a
    cost-method investment, that estimate should be
    used to determine if the investment is impaired
    for the reporting periods in which the investor
    estimates fair value.
  • If the investor has not estimated the fair value
    of a cost-method investment, the investor must
    evaluate whether an event or change in
    circumstances has occurred in that period that
    may have a significant adverse effect on the fair
    value of the investment (an impairment
    indicator).
  • If an impairment indicator is present, the
    investor must estimate the fair value of the
    investment.

43
FSP FAS 115-1and FAS 124-1Step 1 Determine
Whether an Investment is Impaired
  • Examples of impairment indicators
  • A significant deterioration in the earnings
    performance, credit rating, asset quality, or
    business prospects of the investee
  • A significant adverse change in the regulatory,
    econo9mic, or technological environment of the
    investee
  • A significant adverse change in the general
    market condition of either the geographic area or
    the industry in which the investee operates
  • A bona fide offer to purchase (whether solicited
    or unsolicited), an offer by the investee to
    sell, or a completed auction process for the same
    or similar security for an amount less than the
    cost of the investment
  • Factors that raise significant concerns about the
    investees ability to continue as a going
    concern, such as negative cash flows from
    operations, working capital deficiencies, or
    noncompliance with statutory capital requirements
    of debt covenants.

44
FSP FAS 115-1and FAS 124-1Step 2 Evaluate
Whether an Impairment Lossis Other Than Temporary
  • If in Step 1, when the fair value of the
    investment is less than its cost at the balance
    sheet date for which impairment is assessed, the
    impairment is either temporary or other than
    temporary.
  • An investor should apply other guidance that is
    pertinent to the determination of whether an
    impairment is other than temporary (such as
    paragraph 16 of SFAS 115).

45
FSP FAS 115-1and FAS 124-1Step 3 If the
Impairment is Other Than Temporary, Recognize an
Impairment Loss Equal to the Difference between
the Investments Cost and Its Fair Value
  • If the impairment loss is other than temporary,
    an impairment loss should be recognized in
    earnings equal to the entire difference between
    the investors cost and
    its fair value at
    the balance sheet date of the reporting period in
    which the assessment is made.
  • The fair value of the investment would then
    become the new cost basis of the investment and
    should not be adjusted for subsequent recoveries
    in fair value.
  • In periods subsequent to the recognition of an
    other-than-temporary loss for debt securities, an
    investor should account for the
    other-than-temporarily impaired debt security as
    if the debt security had been purchased at the
    measurement date of the other-than-temporary
    impairment.

46
FSP FAS 115-1and FAS 124-1
  • Effective Date and Transition
  • The guidance in this FSP must be applied to
    reporting periods beginning after December 15,
    2005.

47
FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2
  • Issued April 9, 2009
  • The recognition guidance in this FSP applies to
    debt securities classified as available-for-sale
    and held-to-maturity that are subject to other
    than-temporary impairment guidance within

  • AICPA Statement of Position 03-3

48
FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2Evaluating Whether an
Impairment of a Debt Security Is Other Than
Temporary
  • If the fair value of a debt security is less than
    its amortized cost basis at the balance sheet
    date, an entity shall assess whether the
    impairment is other than temporary.
  • If an entity has decided to sell the debt
    security, an other-than-temporary impairment
    shall be considered to have occurred.
  • If an entity does not intend to sell the debt
    security, the entity should consider available
    evidence to assess whether it more likely than
    not will be required to sell the security before
    the recovery of the amortized cost basis. If so,
    an other-than-temporary impairment shall be
    considered to have occurred.

49
FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2Evaluating Whether an
Impairment of a Debt Security Is Other Than
Temporary
  • If the entity does not expect to recover the
    entire amortized cost basis, the entity would be
    unable to assert that it will recover its
    amortized cost basis even if it does not intend
    to sell the security. Therefore, an
    other-than-temporary impairment shall be
    considered to have occurred.
  • In assessing whether the entire cost basis of the
    security will be recovered, an entity must
    compare the present value of cash flows expected
    to be collected from the security with the
    amortized cost basis of the security.
  • If present value of cash flows expected to be
    collected is less than the amortized cost basis
    of the security, the entire amortized cost basis
    of the security will not be recovered (that is, a
    credit loss exists), and an other-than-temporary
    impairment shall be considered to have occurred.

50
FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2Determination of the
Amount of an Other-Than Temporary Impairment
Recognized in Earnings and OCI
  • When an other-than-temporary impairment loss has
    occurred, the amount that should be recognized in
    earnings depends on whether an entity intends to
    sell the security or more likely than not will be
    required to sell the security before recovery of
    its amortized cost basis less any current-period
    credit loss.
  • If it intends to sell the security or more likely
    than not will be required to sell it before
    recovery of its amortized cost basis less any
    current-period credit loss, the
    other-than-temporary impairment must be
    recognized in earnings equal to the entire
    difference between the investments amortized
    cost basis and its fair value at the balance
    sheet date.
  • If an entity does not intend to sell the security
    and it is not more likely than not that the
    entity to be required to sell the security before
    recovery of its amortized cost basis less any
    current-period credit loss, the
    other-than-temporary shall be separated into (a)
    the amount representing the credit loss and (b)
    the amount related to all other factors.

51
FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2Determination of the
Amount of an Other-Than Temporary Impairment
Recognized in Earnings and OCI
  • The amount of the total other-than-temporary
    impairment related to the credit loss must be
    recognized in earnings. The amount of the total
    other-than-temporary impairment related to other
    factors must be recognized in OCI, net of
    applicable taxes.
  • The previous amortized cost less the
    other-than-temporary impairment recognized in
    earnings shall become the new amortized cost
    basis of the investment.
  • The new amortized cost basis shall not be
    adjusted for subsequent recoveries in fair value.
  • However, the amortized cost basis should be
    adjusted for accretion and amortization as
    prescribed in this FSP.

52
FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2Accounting for Debt
Securities after an Other-Than Temporary
Impairment
  • An entity shall account for the
    other-than-temporarily-impaired debt security as
    if the debt security had been purchased on the
    measurement date of the other-than-temporary
    impairment at an amortized cost basis equal to
    the previous amortized cost basis less the
    other-than-temporary impairment recognized in
    earnings.
  • Debt securities classified as available-for-sale
  • Subsequent increases and decreases (if not an
    additional other-than-temporary impairment) in
    the fair value of the available-for-sale
    securities shall be included in OCI.
  • Debt securities classified as held-to-maturity
  • The other-than-temporary impairment recognized in
    OCI shall be accreted from OCI to the amortized
    cost of the debt security over the remaining life
    of the debt security in a prospective manner on
    the basis of the amount and timing of future
    estimated cash flows.
  • That accretion shall increase the carrying value
    of the security and shall continue until the
    security is sold, the security matures, or there
    is an additional other-than-temporary impairment
    that is recognized in earnings.

53
FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2Presentation
  • In periods in which an entity has an
    other-than-temporary impairment, the entity must
    present the total other-than-temporary impairment
    in the statement of earnings with an offset for
    the amount that is recognized in OCI.
  • An entity also must separately present, in the
    financial statement where the components of
    accumulated OCI are reported, amounts recognized
    therein related to held-to-maturity and
    available-for-sale debt securities for which a
    portion of an other-than-temporary impairment has
    been recognized in earnings.

54
FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2Effective Date and
Transition
  • This FSP is effective for interim and annual
    reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009,
    with early adoption permitted for periods ending
    after March 15, 2009. Earlier adoption is
    prohibited.
