Understand financial reporting
after emerging from
reorganization including
fresh-start accounting.
2003 Prentice Hall Business Publishing, Advanced Accounting 8/e, Beams/Anthony/Clement/Lowensohn 17 - 27
Reorganization Value
Generally, the reorganization value is
determined by discounting future cash
flows for the reconstituted business
plus the expected proceeds from sale of
assets not required in the new business.
Fresh-Start Reporting
Fresh-start reporting results in
a new reporting entity with no
retained earnings or deficit balance.
The SOP provides two conditions that
must be met for fresh-start reporting:
Fresh-Start Reporting
1. The reorganization value of the emerging
entitys assets immediately before the date of
confirmation of the reorganization plan is less
than the total of all postpetition liabilities
and allowed claims.
2. Holders of existing voting shares immediately
before confirmation of the reorganization plan
receive less than 50% of the emerging entity.
