1-15 V. Accounting A. Problems presented by derivatives. 1. How & when to recognize transactions. 2. How & when to recognize value changes. 3. How to regard different claims (e.g., Debt or Equity?). 4. Point: Many derivatives used to remain unrecognized, while others were recognized & measured, some at market value, others based on past prices. 5. In 2000, FAS #133 was implemented (revision of FAS #52 & #80): a. Derivatives gains / losses booked as earnings unless bona fide hedge. Then deriv. gains / losses matched against losses / gains over the life. B. Hedge Accounting. 1. Set of rules to recognize changes in values of components of hedge so that counterbalancing changes in fair values of hedged items and hedging instruments are included in earnings in same period.
16.
© Paul Koch
1-16 V. Accounting C. Taxation. 1. Issue: whether gains / losses on hedge will be treated as ‘ordinary income’ or ‘capital gains / losses’ for taxes. a. Boils down to asymmetric tax treatment. 2. History of inconsistent treatments. 3. Current policy (FAS #133): Gains / losses on derivatives are treated as ordinary income for tax purposes, if it can be shown that purpose is truly to hedge; Otherwise, treated as capital gains / losses. These gains / losses on the hedging asset (the derivative) may be matched against losses / gains on the asset being hedged, and amortized over the life of the hedge.

1-17 VI. How Risk Management Can Add Value Value of firm j = Vj = Σ E(NCFjt) / (1 + rjt )t . Vj will increase only if: (i) rjt ; (ii) E(NCFjt) . A. Impact of risk management on rjt . 1. Risk management will decrease volatility of Vj . a. This should decrease the firm’s beta; b. This should decrease probability of default. 2. Both 1.a & 1.b should make investors willing to pay more for the firm’s debt and equity. This should reduce the firm’s cost of capital (rjt).
18.
© Paul Koch
1-18 VI. How Risk Management Can Add Value B. Impact of risk management on E(NCFjt). 1. Risk Management can add value by decreasing taxes. a. Hedging reduces probability that income will be too low to take advantage of tax shields. b. Derivatives allow firm to obtain accrual (hedge) accounting tax treatment for risk management. c. Derivatives can be used to take advantage of asymmetries in tax treatment (e.g., across borders). 2. Risk Management can add value by decreasing transaction costs. a. Firms can adjust exposure by selling some assets and buying others, or by trading derivatives; derivatives cheaper. b. Risk management reduces the expected costs resulting from risk of financial distress.

1-19 VI. How Risk Management Can Add Value 3. Risk Management can add value by helping firm to avoid bad investment decisions. a. Firm may turn down positive NPV projects: i. If firm is in financial distress; ii. Due to conflict between shareholders & debtholders. 4. Derivatives can be used to assure debtholders: a. By attaching restrictive covenants to debt (see Sem Group); b. By making the debt convertible; c. By issuing preferred stock instead of debt (to reduce probability of future default); d. If risk management reduces probability of default, firm is less likely to turn down good opportunities.
