An entity may desire to reorganize its operations in response to its business needs. For example, an entity (the spinnor ) may transfer assets into a new legal spun-off entity (the spinnee ) and distribute the shares of the spinnee to its shareholders, without the surrender by the shareholders of any stock of the spinnor. Such a transaction is commonly referred to as a spinoff. Consider the following example: Big Company owns and operates a mall and a retail store that occupies the anchor store position in that mall. The mall and the store are managed by two separate divisions. The shareholders of Big Company would like to split Big Company into two companies so that each can focus on its own operations. To achieve this, Big Company transfers the mall s assets and operations into a newly created subsidiary, Mall Company, and distributes the shares of Mall Company to its shareholders on a pro rata basis in a spinoff. Page 1

2 2. A spinoff allows an entity to be reorganized in a manner that allows it to meet the needs of its owners. However, there may be other benefits as well. If the spinoff qualifies as a nontaxable reorganization, the distribution results in no taxable gain being recognized by either the spinnor or its shareholders. Additionally, if the spinnee is subsequently sold by the shareholders, the double taxation that would have occurred if a company sold its subsidiary directly and distributed the proceeds to its shareholders is avoided. 3. The accounting guidance for spinoffs is provided in Opinion 29. Although the basic principle underlying Opinion 29 is that the accounting for nonmonetary transactions should be based on the fair values of the assets (or services) involved, it provides a modification to that basic principle for nonreciprocal transfers to owners (such as spinoffs). Opinion 29, paragraph 23 (as amended by Statement 144), states: Accounting for the distribution of nonmonetary assets to owners of an enterprise in a spin-off or other form of reorganization or liquidation or in a plan that is in substance the rescission of a prior business combination should be based on the recorded amount (after reduction, if appropriate, for an indicated impairment of value)* of the nonmonetary assets distributed. A prorata distribution to owners of an enterprise of shares of a subsidiary or other investee company that has been or is being consolidated or that has been or is being accounted for under the equity method is to be considered to be equivalent to a spin-off. Other nonreciprocal transfers of nonmonetary assets to owners should be accounted for at fair value if the fair value of the nonmonetary asset distributed is objectively measurable and would be clearly realizable to the distributing entity in an outright sale at or near the time of the distribution. *An indicated impairment of value of a long-lived asset covered by FASB Statement No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, shall be determined in accordance with paragraph 29 of that Statement. Page 2

3 4. Accordingly, under Opinion 29, an entity s distribution of the shares of a wholly owned or consolidated subsidiary 1 to its shareholders should be recorded based on the carrying value of the subsidiary. Regardless of whether the spun-off operations will be sold immediately after the spinoff, the transaction should not be accounted for as a sale of the accounting spinnee followed by a distribution of the proceeds. 5. In certain cases, the spinoff of a subsidiary to its shareholders is such that the legal form of the transaction does not match its substance. That is, in certain circumstances, the spinnee will be the continuing entity. The issue is whether to account for a spinoff as a reverse spinoff based on the substance instead of the legal form of the transaction. In a reverse spinoff, the legal spinnee should be treated as though it were the spinnor for accounting purposes (accounting spinnor) Consider the following example: Snack Food Company owns two subsidiaries Ice Cream Subsidiary and Snack Subsidiary. Ice Cream Subsidiary is significantly larger and more [Note: Prior to the adoption of Statement 141(R) (effective for business combinations with an acquisition date on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after 12/15/08), footnote 1 should read as follows:] 1 Under the consensus reached in Issue 11 of Issue No. 01-2, Interpretations of APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, the subsidiary should meet the definition of a business as set forth in Issue No. 98-3, Determining Whether a Nonmonetary Transaction Involves Receipt of Productive Assets or of a Business ; otherwise, the transaction represents a dividend-in-kind and should be recorded at fair value. [Note: After the adoption of Statement 141(R), footnote 1 should read as follows:] 1 Under the consensus reached in Issue 11 of Issue No. 01-2, Interpretations of APB Opinion No. 29, the subsidiary should meet the definition of a business as set forth in Statement 141(R); otherwise, the transaction represents a dividend-in-kind and should be recorded at fair value. 2 The determination of the accounting spinnor and spinnee may have significant implications with regard to the reporting of discontinued operations in accordance with Statement 144. That is, the accounting spinnee should be reported as a discontinued operation by the accounting spinnor if the spinnee is a component of an entity (paragraph 41 of Statement 144) and meets the conditions for such reporting contained in paragraph 42 of Statement 144. Page 3

4 profitable than Snack Subsidiary. The shareholders of Snack Food Company would like to continue the ice cream operations and dispose of the snack food operations. To facilitate this, Snack Food Company distributes the shares of Ice Cream Subsidiary to the shareholders thereby creating Ice Cream Company. The shareholders are then able to dispose of the operations of Snack Food Company (now solely comprising Snack Subsidiary operations) by selling the shares directly to a third party and, at the same time, retain ownership of the Ice Cream Company. Accounting for the above transaction based upon its legal form would present Snack Food Company as the spinnor with Ice Cream Company as the spinnee. However, in substance, Snack Food Company has disposed of Snack Subsidiary and continued its ice cream operations. The legal form of the spinoff may have been driven primarily by tax planning strategies. Accounting for the transaction based on its substance depicts Ice Cream Company as the accounting spinnor and Snack Food Company as the accounting spinnee. EITF DISCUSSION 7. The Task Force reached a consensus that reverse spinoff accounting is appropriate when treatment of the legal spinnee as the accounting spinnor results in the most accurate depiction of the substance of the transaction for shareholders and other users of the financial statements. The Task Force observed that the determination of whether reverse spinoff accounting is appropriate is a matter of judgment that depends on an evaluation of all relevant facts and circumstances. 8. The Task Force reached a consensus that in determining whether reverse spinoff accounting is appropriate, a presumption should exist that a spinoff should be accounted for based on its legal form, in other words, that the legal spinnor is also the accounting spinnor. However, that presumption may be overcome. An evaluation of the following Page 4

5 indicators should be considered in that regard. Nevertheless, no one indicator should be considered presumptive or determinative. Indicators that a spinoff should be accounted for as a reverse spinoff: The size of the legal spinnor and the legal spinnee All else being equal, in a reverse spinoff, the accounting spinnor (legal spinnee) is larger than the accounting spinnee (legal spinnor). The determination of which entity is larger is based on a comparison of the assets, revenues, and earnings of the two entities. There are no established bright lines that should be used to determine which entity is the larger of the two. The fair value of the legal spinnor and the legal spinnee All else being equal, in a reverse spinoff, the fair value of the accounting spinnor (legal spinnee) is greater than that of the accounting spinnee (legal spinnor). Senior management All else being equal, in a reverse spinoff, the accounting spinnor (legal spinnee) retains the senior management of the formerly combined entity. Senior management generally consists of the chairman of the board, chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, and those divisional heads reporting directly to them, or the executive committee if one exists. Length of time to be held All else being equal, in a reverse spinoff, the accounting spinnor (legal spinnee) is held for a longer period than the accounting spinnee (legal spinnor). A proposed or approved plan of sale for one of the separate entities concurrent with the spinoff may identify that entity as the accounting spinnee. 9. The following examples demonstrate the application of the consensus: Example 1 Retail Company, a retail store chain, has a wholly owned restaurant subsidiary. The retail and restaurant operations are operated independently with a small executive management team overseeing both. Since the two have unrelated operations, the shareholders believe that the two operations should be separated by way of a spinoff. They believe that this will allow those separate companies to pursue opportunities in their respective industries and maximize their individual value. Page 5

6 In order to accomplish the spinoff, Retail Company creates a new legal entity, Restaurant Company, into which the assets and operations of the restaurant subsidiary are transferred. The shares of Restaurant Company are then distributed to the shareholders of Retail Company on a pro rata basis. The executive management team of Retail Company will be divided between the two entities. A comparison of the two companies is presented below: (In 000s) Assets Revenues Net Income Fair Value Retail $500 $410 $150 $675 Restaurant $100 $75 $21 $170 Evaluation: Based on an analysis of the indicators contained in paragraph 8, the spinoff should be accounted for in accordance with its legal form. That is, the transaction should not be accounted for as a reverse spinoff. Retail Company should be designated as the accounting spinnor based on the first two indicators listed below. Retail Company has substantially larger operations than Restaurant Company. The fair value of Retail Company is greater than Restaurant Company. The management team is allocated between the two operations. There are no planned or likely disposals of either Retail Company or Restaurant Company. The designation of Retail Company as the accounting spinnor will provide the most accurate depiction of the transaction to shareholders and other users of the financial statements because, in substance, Retail Company has spun off its Restaurant Company into a separate company. Example 2 Page 6

7 Retail Company, a retail store chain, has a wholly owned restaurant subsidiary. The retail and restaurant operations are operated independently, with a small executive management team overseeing both. While the restaurant subsidiary has grown rapidly, the retail operations have deteriorated steadily due to increased competition. The shareholders believe that the two operations should be separated by way of a spinoff. Management intends to dispose of the retail operations. In order to accomplish the spinoff, Retail Company creates a new legal entity, Restaurant Company, into which the assets and operations of the restaurant subsidiary are transferred. The shares of Restaurant Company are then distributed to the shareholders of Retail Company on a pro rata basis. The executive management team of the combined entity will be assigned primarily to Restaurant Company, as the intent is to dispose of Retail Company (now solely comprising the retail operations). A comparison of certain statistics of the two companies is presented below: (In 000s) Assets Revenues Net Income Fair Value Retail $300 $210 $35 $375 Restaurant $600 $450 $150 $700 Evaluation: Based on an analysis of the indicators contained in paragraph 8, the spinoff should be accounted for as a reverse spinoff. Restaurant Company, although the legal spinnee, should be designated as the accounting spinnor based on the following: Page 7

8 Restaurant Company has substantially larger operations than Retail Company. The fair value of Restaurant Company is greater than that of Retail Company. The management team is primarily assigned to Restaurant Company. Management intends to dispose of Retail Company upon finalizing the spinoff. The designation of Restaurant Company as the accounting spinnor will provide the most accurate depiction of the transaction to shareholders and other users of the financial statements, as, in substance, Retail Company has disposed of its retail operations and continued its restaurant operations. 10. The consensus in this Issue should be applied to spinoff transactions completed after September 12, STATUS 11. Statement 141(R), which was issued in December 2007, replaces Statement 141, and includes the definition of a business. 12. No further EITF discussion is planned. Page 8
