The document discusses changes to accounting standards for mergers and acquisitions (M&A) under FAS141R that will take effect in 2009. Key changes include stricter timing for reporting deals, requiring contingent consideration to be included in purchase price at fair value, treating in-process R&D as intangible assets rather than expenses, and expensing acquisition costs immediately rather than capitalizing them. Understanding these changes and modeling deals accordingly can help reduce potential negative effects on financial statements from new fair value requirements. While complications may arise, the changes complete international convergence of standards and M&A activity can continue with proper planning and valuation expertise.

El niño le dice que ahora tiene $400 colones y le pide comprar una hora de su tiempo.
This document summarizes research on measuring the contribution of information and communication technology (ICT) to economic growth. Some key findings:
1. ICT investment and ICT capital contribution to output and productivity growth peaked in the late 1990s and slowed after 2000, though emerging economies increased their ICT investment share.
2. Emerging economies have a higher share of telecom capital than advanced economies, likely due to mobile technology leapfrogging fixed lines.
3. Advanced economies still have much higher ICT capital per worker than emerging economies, but show weaker growth relationships, possibly due to diminishing returns.

This study examined the diversity and abundance of fruit-feeding butterflies across four habitat types in a Costa Rican cloud forest: primary forest, natural secondary regrowth forest, planted secondary regrowth forest, and pastureland. The researchers trapped 174 butterflies of 27 species over six weeks. They found that planted secondary regrowth forest had the highest species richness, diversity, and evenness, indicating reforestation efforts were improving diversity. Climate change may be causing butterflies to move to new elevations.

Microcalcification oriented content based mammogram retrieval for breast canc...Lazaros Tsochatzidis
Microcalcifications (MCs) provide a significant
early indication of breast malignancy. This work introduces a
supervised scheme for malignancy risk assessment of mammograms containing MCs. The proposed scheme employs shape and
textural features as input to a support vector machine (SVM)
ensemble, in order to perform content-based image retrieval
(CBIR) of mammograms. The retrieval performance of the
proposed scheme has been evaluated by taking into account
the variation of MCs morphology as defined in BI-RADS. In
our experiments, we use a set of 87 mammograms containing
MCs, obtained from the widely adopted DDSM database for
screening mammography. The experimental results demonstrate
that the proposed supervised CBIR scheme addresses effective
retrieval of MCs mammograms outperforming relevant unsupervised schemes.
The document provides guidance on email marketing best practices, including six steps for creating effective email campaigns: authentication and deliverability, template design, email content, testing and optimization, sending best practices, and tracking and reporting. It discusses the importance of deliverability and recommends setting up authentication, warming up new IP addresses gradually over 2-6 weeks, and using opt-in lists. It also provides tips for designing email templates, such as including calls to action, breaking up text, and using images. Effective email template design considers the type of email and ensures the template is clean, easy to read and scan.
This document discusses the impact of IFRS 3 on accounting for acquisitions. Some of the key impacts include:
- Results will be more unpredictable due to more frequent and rigorous impairment testing of acquired assets. Greater analysis of targets will be required.
- Value will be harder to demonstrate as more acquisition costs must be expensed immediately rather than included in goodwill.
- No merger accounting is allowed; an acquirer must be identified for each transaction.
- Deal structures may change as the end of merger accounting removes constraints. More cash deals are likely.
- More work will be required as the acquisition process needs to be more rigorous from planning through execution to withstand market scrutiny. Expert valuation
IFRS 3 makes significant changes to the accounting for business combinations that will impact M&A strategy and transparency. Key impacts include:
- All combinations will be treated as acquisitions, eliminating merger accounting. More intangible assets will be identified and recognized.
- Goodwill will no longer be amortized but subject to annual impairment testing, likely resulting in more impairment charges.
- Negative goodwill will be recognized immediately in income rather than amortized. Restructuring costs will also impact earnings.
- Greater disclosures will be required on acquisition costs, asset valuations, and impairment testing, increasing transparency but also the resources required.
This document discusses the impact of IFRS 3 on accounting for acquisitions. Some of the key impacts include:
- Results will be more unpredictable due to more frequent and rigorous impairment testing of acquired assets. Greater analysis of the target will be required.
- Value will be harder to demonstrate as more of an acquisition's costs must be expensed as incurred rather than included in goodwill.
- No merger accounting will be allowed. Deal structures may change as a result.
- The acquisition process will require more rigorous evaluation of targets, structuring of deals, and valuation of intangible assets to withstand greater market scrutiny under the new transparency requirements.
Shipping companies are experiencing difficult financial times with many unable to repay or service debts. It is essential for companies to have properly documented and timely financial information, including financial models projecting future cash flows, to present to banks in the event of potential defaults. Financial modelling can help identify ways to manage volatility and support restructuring proposals. Experienced external advisors like Moore Stephens can help companies reduce costs associated with resolving financial problems by working with stakeholders before and after bank intervention.
This document discusses accounting standards for contingent consideration in business acquisitions. Under ASC 805, contingent consideration must be recognized at fair value on the acquisition date as part of the purchase price. It can be classified as either a liability or equity, depending on if the number of shares is fixed or variable. If classified as a liability, it must be remeasured to fair value each reporting period, which can cause earnings volatility. The accounting treatment is counterintuitive as gains or losses are recorded even if the business performs differently than expected. Valuing contingent consideration typically uses an income approach due to its prospective nature.
This document reviews several Irish Financial Reporting Standards (FRS). It summarizes FRS 11 on impairment of fixed assets and goodwill, which requires impairment reviews when indicators exist and defines how to measure impairment. It also summarizes FRS 12 on provisions, contingent liabilities, and contingent assets, explaining how and when to recognize provisions versus disclose contingent liabilities. Finally, it provides high-level information on FRS 15 regarding tangible fixed assets.
The document discusses the new revenue recognition standard and its potential impacts. It will:
1) Require private equity firms to defer recognition of carried interest income until it is certain the cash will not be clawed back, which may differ from how employees currently receive carry payments.
2) Impact how publicly-listed private equity firms report carry income to analysts due to the discontinuity between GAAP reporting and non-GAAP measures used by analysts.
3) Affect valuations and due diligence for private equity firms as revenue recognition under the new standard may differ from current practices or IFRS standards used in other countries, complicating cross-border deals. Firms need to assess these impacts now on their
In this issue we will further explore the intricacies of Step 1: Identifying the contract(s) with a customer. Normally, a business knows who its customers are and can identify its contracts, however, the specific requirements of Topic 606 contain some challenges that will require judgment and documentation around these conclusions.
The application of Topic 606 and each step requires the use of judgment and provides opportunities for multiple approaches. The following discussion is broken down into a systematic framework for applying the guidance that we believe to be helpful whenever Step 1 is applied. This framework consists of three parts:
1. Determine if a contract exists
2. Determine if the contract is with a customer
3. Evaluate the five criteria in Step 1 to determine if the contract is a contract with a customer in the scope of Topic 606 (a “revenue contract”).

Implementing a contract management system can help companies achieve SOX compliance and increase shareholder value. By providing transparency and access to contractual obligations and risks, it improves internal controls, compliance, and performance. Appointing a project team led by a "champion" ensures the system is properly implemented and contractual data remains accurate and up-to-date. Standardizing on such a system company-wide can further increase process efficiencies across the organization.
The document discusses the key changes and challenges in implementing the new revenue recognition standard Ind AS 115, which is based on IFRS 15. Some of the significant changes include focusing on control rather than risks and rewards for timing of revenue recognition. It also requires identifying separate performance obligations in contracts and allocating the transaction price to each. This will impact industries like telecom and software development. Other challenges discussed are accounting for contract modifications and transactions containing financing elements.
The third quarter was all about hedging and complex financial instruments. Two accounting standards updates will simplify accounting for entities and the users of their financial statements.
This document discusses key accounting topics related to the application of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) to the shipping industry. It covers cost capitalization, depreciation, impairment of assets, leasing, consolidation, revenue/costs recognition, financial instruments, and segment reporting.
The document provides an overview of each topic and discusses considerations for shipping companies in applying IFRS standards. For cost capitalization, it discusses what costs can be included in the initial cost of vessels, such as borrowing costs. It also covers accounting for dry docking costs and subsequent expenditures. For depreciation, it discusses assessing useful lives and residual values. The document provides examples and considerations to help shipping companies properly apply various IFRS requirements
The document discusses the potential impacts of a proposed new revenue recognition standard on the automotive industry. The proposed standard would require a significant change in approach, moving to a single, contract-based model where revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied, representing a transfer of control of goods or services. This would impact areas like IT systems, financial metrics, and legal contracts. Companies would need to fundamentally change their revenue processes under the new standard.
The document discusses how Configure Price Quote (CPQ) and Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) solutions are often used separately, but are more effective when integrated. An integrated solution allows quotes to seamlessly flow into contracts and back, sharing a common data model and workflows. This accelerates the sales process, improves customer experience and satisfaction, ensures compliance, and enables insights across the entire quote-to-cash lifecycle. The document outlines the benefits several companies realized from implementing an integrated CPQ and CLM solution from Apttus.
IFRS 9 introduces significant changes to the classification and measurement of financial instruments and the accounting for impairment of financial assets compared to IAS 39. Some of the key changes include:
1. IFRS 9 uses a single classification and measurement approach for financial assets based on the entity's business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the assets, replacing the multiple classification categories in IAS 39. This may lead to increased profit and loss volatility.
2. IFRS 9 introduces an "expected credit loss" model for impairment of financial assets such as loans and receivables, requiring entities to account for expected losses from initial recognition of assets rather than incurred losses under IAS 39.

(1) ACQUISITION EXPENSES Acquirers may incur millions in direct an.pdfanandatalapatra
(1) ACQUISITION EXPENSES
Acquirers may incur millions in direct and indirect costs finding targets, gathering and analyzing
information, seeking funds and negotiating deals. The question is how to report these costs.
Current GAAP . These costs are deferred by adding them to the purchase price. In all likelihood,
they increase recorded goodwill, where they remain until and unless impairment is recognized.
Deficiency . Although pre-transaction costs are necessary, they don’t add value to acquired
assets (including goodwill) and they are not assets on their own. It’s questionable whether
putting them on a balance sheet is useful.
New standard . Statement no. 141(R) follows the tenet that only real assets should be recorded
for a combination. Because acquisition-related costs are not assets, they will be charged to
expense. Exhibit 1 shows them being moved off the statement of financial position and onto the
income statement
(2) BARGAIN PURCHASE GAIN
In rare circumstances, an acquirer strikes a favorable deal and pays less than the aggregate fair
value of purchased net assets. These transactions raise two issues—at what amounts should
individual assets and liabilities be recorded, and is it useful to recognize a bargain purchase gain?
Current GAAP. The excess value is considered “negative goodwill.” Because of its focus on
cost, current practice selectively reduces certain asset carrying values until the aggregate total
equals the purchase price. (In very rare circumstances, any unallocated difference is treated as an
extraordinary gain.)
Deficiency. The balance sheet underreports the value at hand and available to management for
earning returns. In addition, management’s successful negotiation is not immediately reflected in
reported income.
New standard. Acquired assets and liabilities will be recorded at fair value and any excess over
the purchase price will be credited to a gain that flows to the income statement, net of deferred
taxes. The outcome will likely be more complete and useful statements of financial position and
income.
(3) CONTINGENT CONSIDERATION
In major transactions such as combinations, sizable spreads initially exist between amounts
buyers and sellers offer to pay and accept. One way to close that gap is contingent consideration
arrangements in which, depending on future events, a buyer agrees to pay an additional amount
or a seller agrees to refund part of the purchase price. Because contingencies can be difficult to
pin down, many issues have been raised about their financial statement effects.
Current GAAP. Most contingent consideration arrangements are ignored in determining the
recorded price. When additional payments based on earnings targets occur, their amounts are
added to goodwill. If payments are tied to stock price changes, paid-in capital is credited. If
refunds are received, the buyer reduces goodwill or paid-in capital.
Deficiency. In these circumstances, not immediately recognizing the contingent assets or
li.
The document discusses new revenue recognition standards issued by the FASB and IASB. The key changes include:
1) Revenue is recognized when control of goods or services is transferred to the customer, rather than when risks and rewards transfer.
2) The transaction price captures all variable consideration, which is estimated and updated each period.
3) Explicit criteria require a contract with a customer and identification of separate performance obligations before revenue can be recognized.
4) Disclosures provide more useful information about contracts with customers.
