2 Accounting Aspects Agenda Equity Instruments Accounting for Common Stock Accounting for Preferred Stock Accounting for Debt Accounting for Options and Warrants Capitalization Table 2
3 Accounting for Common Stock Accounting is generally straightforward Always treated as equity If issued for services, then record at value of the service If issued for compensation to employees, then record at fair value If restricted, record compensation over vesting period If a note is issued in exchange for common stock, then record note in equity too 3
4 Accounting for Preferred Stock Accounting can be very complex Preferred stock has preferences: Redemption features Conversion features Anti- dilution protection Liquidation order Dividends paid 1 st (cumulative or non- cumulative) Issued with warrants (discussed later) Treated as equity or liability, depending on terms Costs incurred to 3 rd parties applied against proceeds 4
5 Accounting for Preferred Stock (continued) If mandatorily redeemable, then record at fair value as a liability Mandatorily redeemable if it speciqies a required repayment date Record change in fair value through income statement each reporting period If contingently redeemable, then record at initial value in equity No adjustments to amount recorded initially Reclassify to a liability once contingency is resolved and record at fair value 5
6 Accounting for Debt Accounting can be complex Conversion features Anti- dilution protection Issued with warrants (discussed later) Zero interest rate Always treated as liability Costs incurred are capitalized Paid to 3 rd parties debt issuance costs as an asset and amortized Paid to debt holder debt discount and accreted 6
7 Accounting for Debt (continued) If convertible, then assess accounting for conversion feature Is it a derivative requiring bifurcating and recording as a liability? If no, is there a beneqicial conversion feature (BCF) to record? If there is a BCF, treat as a debt discount and paid- in capital (equity) and accrete to interest over term of debt. Also, applies to preferred stock Assess conversion into common stock to determine if a derivative BCF is applied against retained earnings and record paid- in capital immediately 7
8 Accounting for Options Accounting generally straightforward. Almost always equity Generally issued to employees, board members and consultants. Generally a vesting period for rights to exercise options (1-4 years) Record at fair value as equity based on a model (Black- Scholes or lattice) Estimates for expected term and forfeiture rates Record compensation over vesting period Complicated if performance or market based vesting provisions Additional complexity if issued to consultant and include vesting terms 8
9 Accounting for Warrants Accounting can be complex. Generally issued to underwriters/brokers and attorneys. Generally, fully vested upon issuance. If issued with preferred stock or debt, then assign proceeds value to preferred stock or debt and warrant proportionately based on fair value of each. Preferred stock follow assessment described in previous section Debt record as a debt discount and accrete as interest expense 9
10 Accounting for Warrants Record at fair value as equity or liability Fair value is based on model (Black- Scholes or lattice) If equity, no subsequent adjustments to value If liability, record at fair value each reporting period Warrants generally a liability for the following: Includes anti- dilution protection feature Exercisable for redeemable (mandatory or contingent) preferred stock 10
