Effective June 30, 2001, New Rules for Accounting for Business Combination • SFAS 141 - Accounting for Business Combinations • Supercedes APB Opinion 16 • Eliminates use of pool-of-interests method • Modifies current purchase accounting method • New intangible asset recognition criteria • Expanded disclosure requirements • SFAS 142 - Accounting for Goodwill and Intangible Assets • Supercedes APB Opinion 17 • Goodwill not amortized • Goodwill subject to annual impairment test
Goodwill Impairment • In SFAS 142, FASB mandates a purchase accounting method for business combinations that requires companies to: • Conduct an annual goodwill impairment test • Based on fair value of the reporting unit • However, goodwill will not be amortized • If goodwill impaired: • Impairment loss recognized in income statement • Amount of goodwill reduced on balance sheet
Goodwill Impairment Test Three-Step Approach Step 1: Determine Potential Goodwill Impairment • Calculate fair value of reporting unit (FVRU) • Calculate carrying value (book value) of reporting unit (CVRU), including goodwill. • If FVRU CVRU, goodwill is not impaired, do nothing. • If FVRU < CVRU, potential goodwill impairment, go to Step 2
Goodwill Impairment Test Three-Step Approach Step 2: Calculate Implied Fair Value of Goodwill • Implied fair value of goodwill of reporting unit (IFVGWRU) = FVRU – Fair Value of Identifiable Net Assets of Reporting Unit (FVINARU) • If IFVGWRU > Carrying Value (book value) of Goodwill of Reporting Unit (CVGWRU), do nothing • If IFVGWRU < CVGW, go to Step 3
Goodwill Impairment Test • Three-Step Approach • Step 3: Calculate Goodwill Impairment Loss • Goodwill impairment loss = CVGWRU - IFVGWRU • must recognize goodwill impairment loss as separate line on income statement • must reduce amount of goodwill on balance sheet by amount of goodwill impairment loss.
Goodwill Impairment Test • New Rules Illustrated • On January 1, 20X1, A Corporation paid $1,000 to acquire all of the outstanding common stock of B Corporation. The following is reported on the B Corporation’s balance sheet at the date of acquisition:
Goodwill Impairment Test New Rules Illustrated • The recorded value of the identifiable net assets is $650 ($1,000 minus ($100 + $250)). • The fair value of the identifiable net assets is $800 ($150 above the recorded value) because of appreciated real estate. • Thus, at the date of acquisition, A Corporation pays $200 ($1,000 – $800) above the fair value of the identifiable assets to purchase B Corporation. • According to A Corporation’s management, the company is willing to pay the $200 premium because it believes that access to B Corporation’s customer base will be especially profitable.
Goodwill Impairment Test Calculation of Goodwill – Date of Acquisition Fair Value of Identifiable Net Assets Book Value of Identifiable Net Assets Purchase Price Goodwill = $200 Revaluation Increment = $150 $1,000 $800 $650
Goodwill Impairment Test New Rules Illustrated • Assume that B Corporation has a net loss for the year ended December 31, 20X1 and management forecasts continuing losses. • Accordingly, the fair value of the recorded goodwill may be impaired and an impairment test is warranted. • The fair value of B Corporation (FVRU) at December 31, 20X1 is determined to be $725. • The carrying value of B Corporation (CVRU) at December 31, 20X1, including goodwill, is determined to be $800. • The fair value of the identifiable net assets of B Corporation (FVINARU) at December 31, 20X1 is determined to be $700.
Goodwill Impairment Test Calculation of Implied Goodwill – 12/31/X1 Fair Value of Identifiable Net Assets Book Value of Identifiable Net Assets FVRU IFVGWRU = $25 Revaluation Increment = $100 $725 $700 $600
Goodwill Impairment Test Three-Step Approach
Goodwill Impairment Test • When the impairment test is completed, the company concludes the fair value of the reporting unit is now only $25 greater than the fair value of the identifiable net assets of B Corporation. • Thus, the implied fair value of the goodwill has fallen to $25. • As a result, A Corporation will report a $175 goodwill impairment loss as a separate line item on the income statement and report goodwill totaling $25 on the balance sheet.
