Copyright 2012 Pearson Education,

18-22

Reorganization Value
Approximates fair value of entity without
considering liabilities
Discounted future cash flows of reorganized
business
Consider business and financial risk
Reorganization value determines how much
creditors recover
Emerging business will either use
1. Fresh start reporting
2. Report liabilities at present value and
forgiveness of debt as extraordinary item
Copyright 2012 Pearson Education,
Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall

18-23

Fresh-Start Reporting
Fresh-Start Reporting recognizes that the
emerging company is a new entity.
To qualify,
1. Revaluation value immediately before the
reorganization plan is confirmed must be less
than post-petition liabilities and allowed
claims, and
2. Holders of existing voting shares receive less
than 50% of emerging entity

Reorganization Example
Tig files for protection under Chapter 11 on
January 5, 2011. Accordingly, it
reclassifies prepetition liabilities
obtains short-term financing
acquires additional equipment
continues operations through June 30, 2012
when the plan is approved, with a
reorganization value of $2,200
First, we'll look at the statements pre and post
reorganization. Then we'll go through the
entries and adjustments that occurred.

Changes to Assets
Fair values and revaluation amounts are shown on 6/30/12 for
comparison.

Tig continues operations, records depreciation, and


even acquires equipment from filing on 1/5/11 to
reorganization on 6/30/12.
The reorganization revalues the assets to their fair
value on that date. Patents are completely written
off.
Tig records an intangible "Reorganization value in
excess of identifiable assets" of $250. Not all
reorganizations result in this intangible.

Changes to Liabilities
Upon filing on 1/5/11, Tig reclassifies the
unsecured and partially secured liabilities at that
point as Pre-petition Liabilities Subject to
Compromise.
Pre-petition Liabilities Subject to Compromise
are then reclassified or settled according to the
plan.
Accounts payable on 12/31/11 does not include
any of the $600 due prior to filing.
Taxes payable are still to be paid, and eventually
recorded again inCopyright

18-31

Changes to Equity
Some of the creditors receive stock in the
reorganized firm. The old shareholders also
receive stock, but now own only $100 of $800 of
the stock at book value.
Although some APIC was recorded in
reorganizing, it was subsequently eliminated. If
it had been sufficient to wipe out the deficit, no
intangible "reorganization value in excess of
identifiable assets" would be recorded.
The Deficit is removed!

On 6/30/12 there were $255 in post-petition


liabilities. All $2,300 pre-petition liabilities were
allowed by the courts. Firm value is $2,200.
1. Liabilities exceed reorganization value
2. Old shareholders retain less than 50%
Yes, fresh start is appropriate.

Simplifying Assumptions
All transactions are recorded on
6/30/12.
Generally this takes some time.
Creditors may have interest between
submission and approval of plan.
All pre-petition debt is approved.
The $2,200 reorganization value of the
firm probably used a discounted cash
flow firm valuation model.
