  "summary": "ASC 205-20 governs when a disposal must be reported as a discontinued operation and how it is presented and disclosed. A disposal of a component (or group of components) qualifies only if it represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the entity's operations and financial results, triggered when the component is classified as held for sale, disposed of by sale, or disposed of other than by sale (e.g., abandonment or spinoff) (205-20-45-1B). Results of discontinued operations, net of tax, are presented as a separate component of income for current and prior periods, held-for-sale assets and liabilities are presented separately (not offset) on the balance sheet, and extensive note disclosures are required.",
  "key_points": [
    "Scope covers a component or group of components disposed of or classified as held for sale, and a business or nonprofit activity classified as held for sale on acquisition or upon formation of a joint venture; full-cost-method oil and gas properties are excluded (205-20-15-2 through 15-3).",
    "Discontinued operations reporting requires a strategic shift with a major effect — e.g., disposal of a major geographical area, major line of business, or major equity method investment — upon held-for-sale classification, sale, or disposal other than by sale (205-20-45-1B through 45-1C).",
    "Held-for-sale classification requires all six criteria in 205-20-45-1E (management commitment, available for immediate sale, active program to locate a buyer, sale probable within one year, active marketing at a price reasonable to fair value, and unlikely significant plan changes), with limited one-year exceptions in 205-20-45-1G; if criteria cease to be met, the asset is reclassified as held and used under 360-10-35-44 (205-20-45-1F).",
    "Results of all discontinued operations, less applicable income taxes, are reported as a separate component of income for current and prior periods, and any gain or loss on disposal (or loss on held-for-sale classification), computed under other Subtopics such as Topic 360, is presented on the face or disclosed in the notes (205-20-45-3 through 45-3C).",
    "Interest on debt assumed by the buyer or required to be repaid must be allocated to discontinued operations; allocation of other consolidated interest is permitted but not required and must be applied consistently, while general corporate overhead shall never be allocated (205-20-45-6 through 45-9).",
    "Assets and liabilities of a discontinued operation classified as held for sale are presented separately in the asset and liability sections of the balance sheet for all periods presented and shall not be offset as a single amount; major classes must be presented on the face or disclosed (205-20-45-10 through 45-11).",
    "Required disclosures include facts and circumstances of the disposal, segment(s) involved, pretax profit or loss and its major line items, cash flow data, major classes of held-for-sale assets and liabilities with reconciliations, and significant continuing involvement after disposal; an equity method investment disposal gets only the limited disclosure in 205-20-50-7 (205-20-50-1, 50-4A through 50-5D)."

A common exam trap is assuming continuing involvement or retained interest disqualifies discontinued operations treatment; it does not, it just triggers the extra disclosures in 205-20-50-4A through 50-4B.",

This Subtopic provides guidance on the presentation and disclosure requirements for discontinued operations. A discontinued operation may include a [component of an entity](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#component-of-an-entity "A component of an entity comprises operations and cash flows that can be clearly distinguished, operationally and for financial reporting purposes, from the rest of the entity. A component of an entity may be a reportable segment or an operating segment, a reporting unit, a subsidiary, or an asset group.") or a group of components of an entity, or a [business](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/b/#business "Paragraphs 805-10-55-3A805-10-55-4805-10-55-5805-10-55-6 and 805-10-55-8805-10-55-9 define what is considered a business.") or [nonprofit activity](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/n/#nonprofit-activity "An integrated set of activities and assets that is capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing benefits, other than goods or services at a profit or profit equivalent, as a fulfillment of an entity's purpose or mission (for example, goods or services to beneficiaries, customers, or members).

The required disclosures about discontinued operations vary depending on the nature of the discontinued operation. For example, if a discontinued operation includes a component or group of components of an entity that is not an equity method investment, a more comprehensive set of disclosures about the discontinued operation is required. If the discontinued operation includes an equity method investment, or a business or nonprofit activity that is classified as held for sale on acquisition, a more limited set of disclosures is required (see the flowchart in paragraph [205-20-55-82](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/20/#205-20-55-82) for an illustration).

As with a not-for-profit entity, a nonprofit activity possesses characteristics that distinguish it from a business or a for-profit business entity.") that, on acquisition or upon formation of a [joint venture](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/j/#joint-venture "An entity owned and operated by a small group of businesses (the joint venturers) as a separate and specific business or project for the mutual benefit of the members of the group. A government may also be a member of the group. The purpose of a joint venture frequently is to share risks and rewards in developing a new market, product, or technology; to combine complementary technological knowledge; or to pool resources in developing production or other facilities. A joint venture also usually provides an arrangement under which each joint venturer may participate, directly or indirectly, in the overall management of the joint venture. Joint venturers thus have an interest or relationship other than as passive investors. An entity that is a subsidiary of one of the joint venturers is not a joint venture. The ownership of a joint venture seldom changes, and its equity interests usually are not traded publicly. A minority public ownership, however, does not preclude an entity from being a joint venture. As distinguished from a corporate joint venture, a joint venture is not limited to corporate entities."), is classified as held for sale.

A business or nonprofit activity that, on acquisition or upon formation of a [joint venture](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/j/#joint-venture "An entity owned and operated by a small group of businesses (the joint venturers) as a separate and specific business or project for the mutual benefit of the members of the group. A government may also be a member of the group. The purpose of a joint venture frequently is to share risks and rewards in developing a new market, product, or technology; to combine complementary technological knowledge; or to pool resources in developing production or other facilities. A joint venture also usually provides an arrangement under which each joint venturer may participate, directly or indirectly, in the overall management of the joint venture. Joint venturers thus have an interest or relationship other than as passive investors. An entity that is a subsidiary of one of the joint venturers is not a joint venture. The ownership of a joint venture seldom changes, and its equity interests usually are not traded publicly. A minority public ownership, however, does not preclude an entity from being a joint venture. As distinguished from a corporate joint venture, a joint venture is not limited to corporate entities."), meets the criteria in paragraph [205-20-45-1E](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/20/#205-20-45-1E) to be classified as held for sale is a discontinued operation.

A component of an entity or a group of components of an entity, or a business or nonprofit activity (the entity to be sold), shall be classified as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met:

1.  a
    
    Management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the entity to be sold.
    
2.  b
    
    The entity to be sold is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such entities to be sold. (See Examples 5 through 7 \[paragraphs
    
    [360-10-55-37 through 55-42](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-55-37)
    
    \], which illustrate when that criterion would be met.)
    
3.  c
    
    An active program to locate a buyer or buyers and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the entity to be sold have been initiated.
    
4.  d
    
    The sale of the entity to be sold is [probable](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#probable "The future event or events are likely to occur."), and transfer of the entity to be sold is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale, within one year, except as permitted by paragraph [205-20-45-1G](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/20/#205-20-45-1G). (See Example 8 \[paragraph [360-10-55-43](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-55-43)\], which illustrates when that criterion would be met.)
    
5.  e
    
    The entity to be sold is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value. The price at which an entity to be sold is being marketed is indicative of whether the entity currently has the intent and ability to sell the entity to be sold. A market price that is reasonable in relation to fair value indicates that the entity to be sold is available for immediate sale, whereas a market price in excess of fair value indicates that the entity to be sold is not available for immediate sale.
    
6.  f
    
    Actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn.

Events or circumstances beyond an entity's control may extend the period required to complete the sale of an entity to be sold beyond one year. An exception to the one-year requirement in paragraph [205-20-45-1E(d)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/20/#205-20-45-1E) shall apply in the following situations in which those events or circumstances arise:

1.  a
    
    If at the date that an entity commits to a plan to sell an entity to be sold, the entity reasonably expects that others (not a buyer) will impose conditions on the transfer of the entity to be sold that will extend the period required to complete the sale and both of the following conditions are met:
    
    1.  1
        
        Actions necessary to respond to those conditions cannot be initiated until after a [firm purchase commitment](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#firm-purchase-commitment "A firm purchase commitment is an agreement with an unrelated party, binding on both parties and usually legally enforceable, that meets both of the following conditions: It specifies all significant terms, including the price and timing of the transaction. It includes a disincentive for nonperformance that is sufficiently large to make performance probable.") is obtained.
        
    2.  2
        
        A firm purchase commitment is probable within one year. (See Example 9 \[paragraph [360-10-55-44](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-55-44)\], which illustrates that situation.)
        
2.  b
    
    If an entity obtains a firm purchase commitment and, as a result, a buyer or others unexpectedly impose conditions on the transfer of an entity to be sold previously classified as held for sale that will extend the period required to complete the sale and both of the following conditions are met:
    
    1.  1
        
        Actions necessary to respond to the conditions have been or will be timely initiated.
        
    2.  2
        
        A favorable resolution of the delaying factors is expected. (See Example 10 \[paragraph [360-10-55-46](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-55-46)\], which illustrates that situation.)
        
3.  c
    
    If during the initial one-year period, circumstances arise that previously were considered unlikely and, as a result, an entity to be sold previously classified as held for sale is not sold by the end of that period and all of the following conditions are met:
    
    1.  1
        
        During the initial one-year period, the entity initiated actions necessary to respond to the change in circumstances.
        
    2.  2
        
        The entity to be sold is being actively marketed at a price that is reasonable given the change in circumstances.
        
    3.  3
        
        The criteria in paragraph [205-20-45-1E](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/20/#205-20-45-1E) are met. (See Example 11 \[paragraph [360-10-55-48](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-55-48)\], which illustrates that situation.)

The allocation to discontinued operations of other consolidated interest that is not directly attributable to or related to other operations of the entity is permitted but not required. Other consolidated interest that cannot be attributed to other operations of the entity is allocated based on the ratio of net assets to be sold or discontinued less debt that is required to be paid as a result of the disposal transaction to the sum of total net assets of the consolidated entity plus consolidated debt other than the following:

1.  a
    
    Debt of the discontinued operation that will be assumed by the buyer
    
2.  b
    
    Debt that is required to be paid as a result of the disposal transaction
    
3.  c
    
    Debt that can be directly attributed to other operations of the entity.

This allocation assumes a uniform ratio of consolidated debt to equity for all operations (unless the assets to be sold are atypical—for example, a finance company—in which case a normal debt-equity ratio for that type of business may be used). If allocation based on net assets would not provide meaningful results, then the entity shall allocate interest to the discontinued operations based on debt that can be identified as specifically attributed to those operations. This guidance applies to income statement presentation of both continuing and discontinued operations (including the presentation of the gain or loss on disposal of a component of an entity). A decision as to interest allocation shall be applied consistently to all discontinued operations.

The following is the text of SAB Topic 5.Z.4, Disposal of Operation with Significant Interest Retained.

-   Facts: A Company disposes of its controlling interest in a component of an entity as defined by FASB ASC Master Glossary. The Company retains a minority voting interest directly in the component or it holds a minority voting interest in the buyer of the component. Controlling interest includes those controlling interests established through other means, such as variable interests. Because the Company's voting interest enables it to exert significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee, the Company is required by FASB ASC Subtopic 323-10, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures—Overall, to account for its residual investment using the equity method. FN54
    
    -   FN54 In some circumstances, the seller's continuing interest may be so great that divestiture accounting is inappropriate.
        
-   Question: May the historical operating results of the component and the gain or loss on the sale of the majority interest in the component be classified in the Company's statement of operations as "discontinued operations" pursuant to FASB ASC Subtopic 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements—Discontinued Operations?
    
-   Interpretive Response: No. A condition necessary for discontinued operations reporting, as indicated in FASB ASC paragraph [205-20-45-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/20/#205-20-45-1) is that an entity "not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the component after the disposal transaction." In these circumstances, the transaction should be accounted for as the disposal of a group of assets that is not a component of an entity and classified within continuing operations pursuant to FASB ASC paragraph [360-10-45-5](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/360/10/#360-10-45-5) (Property, Plant, and Equipment Topic). FN55
    
    -   FN55 However, a plan of disposal that contemplates the transfer of assets to a limited-life entity created for the single purpose of liquidating the assets of a component of an entity would not necessitate classification within continuing operations solely because the registrant retains control or significant influence over the liquidating entity.

The following is the text of SAB Topic 5.Z.5, Classification and Disclosure of Contingencies Relating to Discontinued Operations.

-   Facts: A company disposed of a component of an entity in a previous accounting period. The Company received debt and/or equity securities of the buyer of the component or of the disposed component as consideration in the sale, but this financial interest is not sufficient to enable the Company to apply the equity method with respect to its investment in the buyer. The Company made certain warranties to the buyer with respect to the discontinued business, or remains liable under environmental or other laws with respect to certain facilities or operations transferred to the buyer. The disposition satisfied the criteria of FASB ASC Subtopic 205-20 for presentation as "discontinued operations." The Company estimated the fair value of the securities received in the transaction for purposes of calculating the gain or loss on disposal that was recognized in its financial statements. The results of discontinued operations prior to the date of disposal or classification as held for sale included provisions for the Company's existing obligations under environmental laws, product warranties, or other contingencies. The calculation of gain or loss on disposal included estimates of the Company's obligations arising as a direct result of its decision to dispose of the component, under its warranties to the buyer, and under environmental or other laws. In a period subsequent to the disposal date, the Company records a charge to income with respect to the securities because their fair value declined materially and the Company determined that the decline was other than temporary. The Company also records adjustments of its previously estimated liabilities arising under the warranties and under environmental or other laws.
    
-   Question 1: Should the writedown of the carrying value of the securities and the adjustments of the contingent liabilities be classified in the current period's statement of operations within continuing operations or as an element of discontinued operations?
    
-   Interpretive Response: Adjustments of estimates of contingent liabilities or contingent assets that remain after disposal of a component of an entity or that arose pursuant to the terms of the disposal generally should be classified within discontinued operations. FN56 However, the staff believes that changes in the carrying value of assets received as consideration in the disposal or of residual interests in the business should be classified within continuing operations.
    
    -   FN56 Registrants are reminded that FASB ASC Topic 460, Guarantees requires recognition and disclosure of certain guarantees which may impose accounting and disclosure requirements in addition to those discussed in this SAB Topic.
        
-   FASB ASC paragraph [205-20-45-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/20/#205-20-45-4) requires that "adjustments to amounts previously reported in discontinued operations that are directly related to the disposal of a component of an entity in a prior period shall be classified separately in the current period in discontinued operations." The staff believes that the provisions of FASB ASC paragraph [205-20-45-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/20/#205-20-45-4) apply only to adjustments that are necessary to reflect new information about events that have occurred that becomes available prior to disposal of the component of the entity, to reflect the actual timing and terms of the disposal when it is consummated, and to reflect the resolution of contingencies associated with that component, such as warranties and environmental liabilities retained by the seller.
    
-   Developments subsequent to the disposal date that are not directly related to the disposal of the component or the operations of the component prior to disposal are not "directly related to the disposal" as contemplated by FASB ASC paragraph [205-20-45-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/205/20/#205-20-45-4). Subsequent changes in the carrying value of assets received upon disposition of a component do not affect the determination of gain or loss at the disposal date, but represent the consequences of management's subsequent decisions to hold or sell those assets. Gains and losses, dividend and interest income, and portfolio management expenses associated with assets received as consideration for discontinued operations should be reported within continuing operations.
    
-   Question 2: What disclosures would the staff expect regarding discontinued operations prior to the disposal date and with respect to risks retained subsequent to the disposal date?
    
-   Interpretive Response: MD&A FN57 should include disclosure of known trends, events, and uncertainties involving discontinued operations that may materially affect the Company's liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations (including net income) between the date when a component of an entity is classified as discontinued and the date when the risks of those operations will be transferred or otherwise terminated. Disclosure should include discussion of the impact on the Company's liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations of changes in the plan of disposal or changes in circumstances related to the plan. Material contingent liabilities, FN58 such as product or environmental liabilities or litigation, that may remain with the Company notwithstanding disposal of the underlying business should be identified in notes to the financial statements and any reasonably likely range of possible loss should be disclosed pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 450, Contingencies. MD&A should include discussion of the reasonably likely effects of these contingencies on reported results and liquidity. If the Company retains a financial interest in the discontinued component or in the buyer of that component that is material to the Company, MD&A should include discussion of known trends, events, and uncertainties, such as the financial condition and operating results of the issuer of the security, that may be reasonably expected to affect the amounts ultimately realized on the investments.
    
    -   FN57 Item 303 of Regulation S-K.
        
    -   FN58 Registrants also should consider the disclosure requirements of FASB ASC Topic 460.
