Costs of Implementation • FASB staff identified specific anticipated cost increases associated with: • Construction & production type contracts • Time value adjustments to transaction prices • Bundled telecommunication contracts • The revenue constraint • Licenses of intellectual property • Transition requirements
Areas Requiring Judgment • Who is a customer • Collectibility issues • Separating performance obligations • Significant revenue reversal • Time value of money • Recognition over time vs. point in time

Financial Instruments • Three stage project • Classification & Measurement • Impairment • Hedging • Classification & Measurement ASU and Impairment ASU expected in first half of 2014
Classification & Measurement • Classification of financial asset will be based on its cash flow characteristics and the entity’s business model for managing the asset • Three possible classifications • Amortized cost • Fair value – net income • Fair value – other comprehensive income • Changes to fair value option
Impairment • Proposes a current expected credit loss model that would apply to all impairments of financial instruments • Model would reflect management’s current estimate of the contractual cash flows the entity does not expect to collect
