## Machine-generated topic summary

ASC 505 is the residual Equity Topic: it collects the guidance on transactions between an entity and its own shareholders that do not belong in another Topic. The Overall subtopic (505-10) sets the anchoring principle — transactions in an entity's own capital stock (including quasi-reorganizations and treasury stock) never affect net income, additional paid-in capital may not be used to relieve income of charges, and notes received for stock are a deduction from equity — plus extensive disclosures of rights, privileges, redemption requirements, and liquidation preferences. The transaction-specific subtopics apply substance over form: stock dividends versus stock splits in substance (505-20), treasury stock repurchases, retirements, and accelerated share repurchases (505-30), and spinoffs recorded at carrying amount with possible reverse spinoff accounting (505-60). Industry subtopics add disclosure or classification rules for agricultural cooperatives (505-905), insurance entities (505-944), depository institutions (942-505), and investment companies (505-946), while 505-50 is fully superseded — nonemployee share-based payments now live in ASC 718 (and ASC 606 for customer consideration).

## ASC 505-10: Equity — Overall

### Machine-generated study aids

```json
{
  "summary": "ASC 505-10 is the residual \"Overall\" subtopic for equity — it covers equity matters not addressed in the other Equity subtopics (stock dividends/splits, treasury stock, spinoffs) or in other Topics such as 480 and 815. Its core rules are that transactions in an entity's own capital stock (and quasi-reorganization adjustments and transfers to/from appropriated retained earnings) never affect net income, that additional paid-in capital may not be used to relieve income of charges, and that notes received for stock are generally shown as a deduction from equity rather than as an asset. It also imposes extensive disclosures on the rights and privileges of outstanding securities, convertible preferred stock, redemption requirements, and liquidation preferences.",
  "key_points": [
    "Additional paid-in capital, however created, shall not be used to relieve income of current or future charges that would otherwise hit the income statement (505-10-25-1), except in reorganizations under 852-20-25-2.",
    "Adjustments, charges, or credits from transactions in the entity's own capital stock, transfers to/from appropriated retained earnings, and quasi-reorganization adjustments are excluded from net income under all circumstances (505-10-25-2).",
    "A note received as a contribution to equity is generally reported as a deduction from shareholders' equity, not as an asset, unless there is substantial evidence of ability and intent to pay quickly or it is collected in cash before issuance (505-10-45-2); appropriated retained earnings must be shown within equity, with no costs or losses charged to it and no part transferred to income (505-10-45-3 through 45-4).",
    "Changes in the separate accounts comprising shareholders' equity and in the number of shares must be disclosed for at least the most recent annual period and any subsequent interim period (505-10-50-2), and pertinent rights and privileges of each class of security must be explained (505-10-50-3, 50-13).",
    "Preferred stock with an involuntary liquidation preference considerably in excess of par or stated value must disclose that preference in the aggregate in the equity section of the balance sheet, not per share or only in the notes (505-10-50-4); call/redemption amounts, cumulative dividend arrearages, dividends declared, and five-year redemption requirements are also required (505-10-50-5, 50-11, 50-15).",
    "Convertible preferred stock is in scope unless 470-20 or 480-10 requires liability classification, and only after the issuer determines under 815-15 whether an embedded conversion feature must be bifurcated as a derivative; Topic 718 awards are excluded (505-10-15-2(d)); if such stock must be redeemed once the conversion feature expires, it is reclassified as a Topic 480 liability at fair value with a corresponding reduction of equity and no gain or loss (505-10-35-1).",
    "Pending ASU 2026-01 (annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026): paid-in-kind dividends on equity-classified preferred stock are initially measured using the paid-in-kind dividend rate stated in the preferred stock agreement (505-10-30-1; 505-10-65-1)."

  "audience_level": "intermediate",
  "student_note": "The exam favorite here is the bright-line rule that an entity can never recognize gain or loss (or relieve income of charges through APIC) on transactions in its own stock — everything runs through equity. A common misunderstanding is treating a subscription note received for shares as an asset; absent quick collection it must be shown as a contra-equity deduction.",

Equity, sometimes referred to as net assets, is the residual interest in the assets of an entity that remains after deducting its liabilities. The Subtopics of the Equity Topic provide guidance on several specific elements of transactions, accounts and financial instruments that are classified as components of equity as well as overall general guidance related to equity. Issues that relate to whether a specific financial instrument shall be classified as equity or outside of the equity classification are addressed in Topic 480 as well as other Topics (such as Topic 815 on derivatives and hedging) that address these classification matters.

    A subsequent round of financing at a price lower than the [convertible security](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/c/#convertible-security "A security that is convertible into another security based on a conversion rate. For example, convertible preferred stock that is convertible into common stock on a two-for-one basis (two shares of common for each share of preferred).")'s original conversion price
    
3.  c
    
    An initial public offering at a share price lower than an agreed-upon amount.

Transition date:(P) December 16, 2026; (N) December 16, 2026Transition guidance:

[505-10-65-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/505/10/#505-10-65-1)Paid-in-kind dividends are dividends that an issuer satisfies by either:

1.  a
    
    Delivering to the holder additional preferred stock with the same terms as the original preferred stock
    
2.  b
    
    Increasing the value of the original preferred stock in accordance with the preferred stock agreement (for example, by increasing the original preferred stock’s liquidation value).
    

An entity shall apply the guidance in paragraph [505-10-30-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/505/10/#505-10-30-1) on paid-in-kind dividends on preferred stock when the monetary value of the paid-in-kind dividends varies on the basis of the additional preferred stock issued or the increase in the original preferred stock’s liquidation value.

For example, if the preferred stock agreement specifies that paid-in-kind dividends are calculated by multiplying the paid-in-kind dividend rate by the liquidation value of the preferred stock outstanding, an entity should measure the paid-in-kind dividend at that amount.

If convertible preferred stock is required to be redeemed once the conversion feature expires, the financial instrument becomes a liability under the guidance in Topic 480 upon expiration of the conversion feature and paragraph [480-10-30-2](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/480/10/#480-10-30-2) requires the issuer to reclassify an instrument that becomes mandatorily redeemable as a liability, measured initially at fair value with a corresponding reduction of equity (no gain or loss is to be recognized). That may entail an adjustment to paid-in capital if, upon reclassification, the fair value of the liability differs from the carrying amount of the previously convertible preferred stock. That financial instrument would be subsequently measured under the provisions of Topic 480.

An entity may receive a note, rather than cash, as a contribution to its equity. The transaction may be a sale of capital stock or a contribution to paid-in capital. Reporting the note as an asset is generally not appropriate, except in very limited circumstances in which there is substantial evidence of ability and intent to pay within a reasonably short period of time, for example, as discussed for public entities in paragraph [210-10-S99-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/210/10/#210-10-S99-1) (paragraphs 27 through 29), which requires a deduction of the receivable from equity. However, such notes may be recorded as an asset if collected in cash before the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued (as discussed in Section 855-10-25).

A down round feature may reduce the strike price of a financial instrument to the current issuance price, or the reduction may be limited by a floor or on the basis of a formula that results in a price that is at a discount to the original exercise price but above the new issuance price of the shares, or may reduce the strike price to below the current issuance price. A standard antidilution provision is not considered a down round feature."), see Topic 260 on earnings per share.

The following is the text of Regulation S-X Rule 3-04, Changes in Other Stockholders' Equity and Noncontrolling Interests (17 CFR 210.3-04).

-   An analysis of the changes in each caption of stockholders' equity and noncontrolling interests presented in the balance sheets shall be given in a note or separate statement. This analysis shall be presented in the form of a reconciliation of the beginning balance to the ending balance for each period for which a statement of comprehensive income is required to be filed with all significant reconciling items described by appropriate captions with contributions from and distributions to owners shown separately. Also, state separately the adjustments to the balance at the beginning of the earliest period presented for items which were retroactively applied to periods prior to that period. With respect to any dividends, state the amount per share and in the aggregate for each class of shares. Provide a separate schedule in the notes to the financial statements that shows the effects of any changes in the registrant's ownership interest in a subsidiary on the equity attributable to the registrant.

The following is the text of SAB Topic 4.B, S Corporations.

-   Facts: An S corporation has undistributed earnings on the date its S election is terminated.
    
-   Question: How should such earnings be reflected in the financial statements?
    
-   Interpretive Response: Such earnings must be included in the financial statements as additional paid-in capital. This assumes a constructive distribution to the owners followed by a contribution to the capital of the corporation.

-   Question: What effect must be given to such a change?
    
-   Interpretive Response: Such changes in the capital structure must be given retroactive effect in the balance sheet.
    
-   An appropriately cross-referenced note should disclose the retroactive treatment, explain the change made and state the date the change became effective.

The following is the text of SAB Topic 4.F, Limited Partnerships.

-   Facts: There exist a number of publicly held partnerships having one or more corporate or individual general partners and a relatively larger number of limited partners. There are no specific requirements or guidelines relating to the presentation of the partnership equity accounts in the financial statements. In addition, there are many approaches to the parallel problem of relating the results of operations to the two classes of partnership equity interests.
    
-   Question: How should the financial statements of limited partnerships be presented so that the two ownership classes can readily determine their relative participations in both the net assets of the partnership and in the results of its operations?
    
-   Interpretive Response: The equity section of a partnership balance sheet should distinguish between amounts ascribed to each ownership class. The equity attributed to the general partners should be stated separately from the equity of the limited partners, and changes in the number of equity units authorized and outstanding should be shown for each ownership class. A statement of changes in partnership equity for each ownership class should be furnished for each period for which an income statement is included.
    
-   The income statements of partnerships should be presented in a manner which clearly shows the aggregate amount of net income (loss) allocated to the general partners and the aggregate amount allocated to the limited partners. The statement of income should also state the results of operations on a per unit basis.

The following is the text of SAB Topic 5.Q, Increasing Rate Preferred Stock.

-   Facts: A registrant issues Class A and Class B nonredeemable preferred stock FN19 on 1/1/X1. Class A, by its terms, will pay no dividends during the years 20X1 through 20X3. Class B, by its terms, will pay dividends at annual rates of $2, $4 and $6 per share in the years 20X1, 20X2 and 20X3, respectively. Beginning in the year 20X4 and thereafter as long as they remain outstanding, each instrument will pay dividends at an annual rate of $8 per share. In all periods, the scheduled dividends are cumulative.
    
    -   FN19 "Nonredeemable" preferred stock, as used in this SAB, refers to preferred stocks which are not redeemable or are redeemable only at the option of the issuer.
        
-   At the time of issuance, eight percent per annum was considered to be a market rate for dividend yield on Class A, given its characteristics other than scheduled cash dividend entitlements (voting rights, liquidation preference, etc.), as well as the registrant's financial condition and future economic prospects. Thus, the registrant could have expected to receive proceeds of approximately $100 per share for Class A if the dividend rate of $8 per share (the "perpetual dividend") had been in effect at date of issuance. In consideration of the dividend payment terms, however, Class A was issued for proceeds of $79 3/8 per share. The difference, $20 5/8, approximated the value of the absence of $8 per share dividends annually for three years, discounted at 8%.
    
-   The issuance price of Class B shares was determined by a similar approach, based on the terms and characteristics of the Class B shares.
    
-   Question 1: How should preferred stocks of this general type (referred to as "increasing rate preferred stocks") be reported in the balance sheet?
    
-   Interpretive Response: As is normally the case with other types of securities, increasing rate preferred stock should be recorded initially at its fair value on date of issuance. Thereafter, the carrying amount should be increased periodically as discussed in the Interpretive Response to Question 2.
    
-   Question 2: Is it acceptable to recognize the dividend costs of increasing rate preferred stocks according to their stated dividend schedules?
    
-   Interpretive Response: No. The staff believes that when consideration received for preferred stocks reflects expectations of future dividend streams, as is normally the case with cumulative preferred stocks, any discount due to an absence of dividends (as with Class A) or gradually increasing dividends (as with Class B) for an initial period represents prepaid, unstated dividend cost. FN20 Recognizing the dividend cost of these instruments according to their stated dividend schedules would report Class A as being cost-free, and would report the cost of Class B at less than its effective cost, from the standpoint of common stock interests (i. e., for purposes of computing income applicable to common stock and earnings per common share) during the years 20X1 through 20X3.
    
    -   FN20 As described in the "Facts" section of this issue, a registrant would receive less in proceeds for a preferred stock, if the stock were to pay less than its perpetual dividend for some initial period(s), than if it were to pay the perpetual dividend from date of issuance. The staff views the discount on increasing rate preferred stock as equivalent to a prepayment of dividends by the issuer, as though the issuer had concurrently (a) issued the stock with the perpetual dividend being payable from date of issuance, and (b) returned to the investor a portion of the proceeds representing the present value of certain future dividend entitlements which the investor agreed to forgo.
        
-   Accordingly, the staff believes that discounts on increasing rate preferred stock should be amortized over the period(s) preceding commencement of the perpetual dividend, by charging imputed dividend cost against retained earnings and increasing the carrying amount of the preferred stock by a corresponding amount. The discount at time of issuance should be computed as the present value of the difference between (a) dividends that will be payable, if any, in the period(s) preceding commencement of the perpetual dividend; and (b) the perpetual dividend amount for a corresponding number of periods; discounted at a market rate for dividend yield on preferred stocks that are comparable (other than with respect to dividend payment schedules) from an investment standpoint. The amortization in each period should be the amount which, together with any stated dividend for the period (ignoring fluctuations in stated dividend amounts that might result from variable rates, FN21 results in a constant rate of effective cost vis-a-vis the carrying amount of the preferred stock (the market rate that was used to compute the discount).
    
    -   FN21 See Question 3 regarding variable increasing rate preferred stocks.
        
-   Simplified (ignoring quarterly calculations) application of this accounting to the Class A preferred stock described in the "Facts" section of this bulletin would produce the following results on a per share basis:
    
-   ![](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc-img/GUID-96D7FAF0-64E9-48C1-A918-98222C1C0EB7-low.gif)
    
    Carrying amount of preferred stock Beginning of Year (BOY) Imputed Dividend (8% of carrying Amount at BOY) "End of year " Year 20X1 $79.38 6.35 85.73 Year 20X2 85.73 6.86 92.59 Year 20X3 92.59 7.41 100.00
    
-   During 20X4 and thereafter, the stated dividend of $8 measured against the carrying amount of $100 FN22 would reflect dividend cost of 8%, the market rate at time of issuance.
    
    -   FN22 It should be noted that the $100 per share amount used in this issue is for illustrative purposes, and is not intended to imply that application of this issue will necessarily result in the carrying amount of a nonredeemable preferred stock being accreted to its par value, stated value, voluntary redemption value or involuntary liquidation value.
        
-   The staff believes that existing authoritative literature, while not explicitly addressing increasing rate preferred stocks, implicitly calls for the accounting described in this bulletin.
    
-   The pervasive, fundamental principle of accrual accounting would, in the staff's view, preclude registrants from recognizing the dividend cost on the basis of whatever cash payment schedule might be arranged. Furthermore, recognition of the effective cost of unstated rights and privileges is well-established in accounting, and is specifically called for by FASB ASC Subtopic 835-30, Interest—Imputation of Interest, and Topic 3.C of this codification for unstated interest costs of debt capital and unstated dividend costs of redeemable preferred stock capital, respectively. The staff believes that the requirement to recognize the effective periodic cost of capital applies also to nonredeemable preferred stocks because, for that purpose, the distinction between debt capital and preferred equity capital (whether redeemable FN23 or nonredeemable) is irrelevant from the standpoint of common stock interests.
    
    -   FN23 Application of the interest method with respect to redeemable preferred stocks pursuant to Topic 3.C results in accounting consistent with the provisions of this bulletin irrespective of whether the redeemable preferred stocks have constant or increasing stated dividend rates. The interest method, as described in FASB ASC Subtopic 835-30, produces a constant effective periodic rate of cost that is comprised of amortization of discount as well as the stated cost in each period.
        
-   Question 3: Would the accounting for discounts on increasing rate preferred stock be affected by variable stated dividend rates?
    
-   Interpretive Response: No. If stated dividends on an increasing rate preferred stock are variable, computations of initial discount and subsequent amortization should be based on the value of the applicable index at date of issuance and should not be affected by subsequent changes in the index.
    
-   For example, assume that a preferred stock issued 1/1/X1 is scheduled to pay dividends at annual rates, applied to the stock's par value, equal to 20% of the actual (fluctuating) market yield on a particular Treasury security in 20X1 and 20X2, and 90% of the fluctuating market yield in 20X3 and thereafter. The discount would be computed as the present value of a two-year dividend stream equal to 70% (90% less 20%) of the 1/1/X1 Treasury security yield, annually, on the stock's par value. The discount would be amortized in years 20X1 and 20X2 so that, together with 20% of the 1/1/X1 Treasury yield on the stock's par value, a constant rate of cost vis-a-vis the stock's carrying amount would result. Changes in the Treasury security yield during 20X1 and 20X2 would, of course, cause the rate of total reported preferred dividend cost (amortization of discount plus cash dividends) in those years to be more or less than the rate indicated by discount amortization plus 20% of the 1/1/X1 Treasury security yield. However, the fluctuations would be due solely to the impact of changes in the index on the stated dividends for those periods.
    
-   Question 4: Will the staff expect retroactive changes by registrants to comply with the accounting described in this bulletin?
    
-   Interpretive Response: All registrants will be expected to follow the accounting described in this bulletin for increasing rate preferred stocks issued after December 4, 1986. FN24 Registrants that have not followed this accounting for increasing rate preferred stocks issued before that date were encouraged to retroactively change their accounting for those preferred stocks in the financial statements next filed with the Commission. The staff did not object if registrants did not make retroactive changes for those preferred stocks, provided that all presentations of and discussions regarding income applicable to common stock and earnings per share in future filings and shareholders' reports are accompanied by equally prominent supplemental disclosures (on the face of the income statement, in presentations of selected financial data, in MD&A, etc.) of the impact of not changing their accounting and an explanation of such impact (e. g., that dividend cost has been recognized on a cash basis).
    
    -   FN24 The staff first publicly expressed its view as to the appropriate accounting at the December 3-4, 1986 meeting of the EITF.

## ASC 505-20: Equity — Stock Dividends and Stock Splits

### Machine-generated study aids

```json
{
  "summary": "ASC 505-20 governs how corporations (issuers) and shareholders (recipients) account for stock dividends and stock splits. The core rule is substance over form: a small issuance (generally less than 20–25% of previously outstanding shares) is a stock dividend requiring capitalization of retained earnings at the fair value of the shares issued, while a larger issuance that materially reduces the unit market price is a stock split in substance, requiring capitalization only to the extent of legal requirements. Recipients recognize no income; they simply reallocate the cost of previously held shares over the larger number of shares.",
  "key_points": [
    "A stock dividend or stock split involves no distribution or severance of corporate assets, so any increase in the fair value of a recipient's holdings is unrealized appreciation and is not income (505-20-05-4).",
    "The Subtopic applies to all corporations but not to distributions of shares of another corporation held as an investment, shares of a different class, rights to subscribe for additional shares, or same-class shares where each shareholder may elect cash or shares (505-20-15-1 through 15-3A).",
    "Issuances of additional shares of less than 20 or 25 percent of previously outstanding shares generally call for stock dividend treatment; larger issuances that materially reduce unit market price are stock splits in substance (505-20-25-2 through 25-3).",
    "For a stock dividend, the issuer transfers from retained earnings to capital stock and additional paid-in capital an amount equal to the fair value of the additional shares issued, which usually exceeds state-law minimum capitalization (par value) requirements (505-20-30-3 through 30-4).",
    "For a stock split — and for stock dividends of closely held entities where shareholders have intimate knowledge of the entity's affairs — retained earnings need be capitalized only to the extent required by law (505-20-30-5 through 30-6).",
    "A recipient allocates the cost of shares previously held equitably over the total shares held after the dividend or split, and gain or loss on later disposition is measured using the adjusted cost per share (505-20-30-7).",
    "When a stock dividend in form is a stock split in substance, the word 'dividend' should be avoided; if legal requirements compel its use, the transaction should be described as a 'stock split effected in the form of a dividend' (505-20-50-1)."

Many recipients of stock dividends look upon them as distributions of corporate earnings, and usually in an amount equivalent to the [fair value](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#fair-value "The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.") of the additional shares received. If the issuances of stock dividends are so small in comparison with the shares previously outstanding, such issuances generally do not have any apparent effect on the share market price and, consequently, the fair value of the shares previously held remains substantially unchanged.

If there is an increase in the fair value of a recipient's holdings, such unrealized appreciation is not income. In the case of a [stock dividend](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#stock-dividend "An issuance by a corporation of its own common shares to its common shareholders without consideration and under conditions indicating that such action is prompted mainly by a desire to give the recipient shareholders some ostensibly separate evidence of a part of their respective interests in accumulated corporate earnings without distribution of cash or other property that the board of directors deems necessary or desirable to retain in the business. A stock dividend takes nothing from the property of the corporation and adds nothing to the interests of the stockholders; that is, the corporation's property is not diminished and the interests of the stockholders are not increased.

The number of additional shares issued as a [stock dividend](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#stock-dividend "An issuance by a corporation of its own common shares to its common shareholders without consideration and under conditions indicating that such action is prompted mainly by a desire to give the recipient shareholders some ostensibly separate evidence of a part of their respective interests in accumulated corporate earnings without distribution of cash or other property that the board of directors deems necessary or desirable to retain in the business.

In such a situation, because the implications and possible shareholder belief discussed in paragraph [505-20-30-3](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/505/20/#505-20-30-3) are not likely to exist, the substance of the transaction is clearly that of a [stock split](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#stock-split "An issuance by a corporation of its own common shares to its common shareholders without consideration and under conditions indicating that such action is prompted mainly by a desire to increase the number of outstanding shares for the purpose of effecting a reduction in their unit market price and, thereby, of obtaining wider distribution and improved marketability of the shares.

The point at which the relative size of the additional shares issued becomes large enough to materially influence the unit market price of the stock will vary with individual entities and under differing market conditions and, therefore, no single percentage can be established as a standard for determining when capitalization of retained earnings in excess of legal requirements is called for and when it is not. Except for a few instances, the issuance of additional shares of less than 20 or 25 percent of the number of previously outstanding shares would call for treatment as a stock dividend as described in paragraph [505-20-30-3](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/505/20/#505-20-30-3).

A stock split is confined to transactions involving the issuance of shares, without consideration to the corporation, for the purpose of effecting a reduction in the unit market price of shares of the class issued and, therefore, of obtaining wider distribution and improved marketability of the shares.

The corporation's representations to its shareholders as to the nature of the issuance is one of the principal considerations in determining whether it shall be recorded as a stock dividend or a stock split. Nevertheless, the issuance of new shares in ratios of less than 20 or 25 percent of the previously outstanding shares, or the frequent recurrence of issuances of shares, would destroy the presumption that transactions represented to be stock splits shall be recorded as stock splits.

In accounting for a stock dividend, the corporation shall transfer from retained earnings to the category of capital stock and additional paid-in capital an amount equal to the fair value of the additional shares issued. Unless this is done, the amount of earnings that the shareholder may believe to have been distributed to him or her will be left, except to the extent otherwise dictated by legal requirements, in retained earnings subject to possible further similar stock issuances or cash distributions.

The accounting required in the preceding paragraph will likely result in the capitalization of retained earnings in an amount in excess of that called for by the laws of the state of incorporation; such laws generally require the capitalization only of the par value of the shares issued, or, in the case of shares without par value, an amount usually within the discretion of the board of directors. However, these legal requirements are, in effect, minimum requirements and do not prevent the capitalization of a larger amount per share.

In cases of closely held entities, it is presumed that the intimate knowledge of the corporations' affairs possessed by their shareholders would preclude any implications and possible shareholder belief as are referred to in paragraph [505-20-30-3](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/505/20/#505-20-30-3).

A shareholder's interest in the corporation remains unchanged by a stock dividend or stock split except as to the number of share units constituting such interest. Therefore, the cost of the shares previously held shall be allocated equitably to the total shares held after receipt of the stock dividend or stock split. When any shares are later disposed of, a gain or loss shall be determined on the basis of the adjusted cost per share.

Paragraph [505-20-25-2](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/505/20/#505-20-25-2) identifies a situation in which a [stock dividend](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#stock-dividend "An issuance by a corporation of its own common shares to its common shareholders without consideration and under conditions indicating that such action is prompted mainly by a desire to give the recipient shareholders some ostensibly separate evidence of a part of their respective interests in accumulated corporate earnings without distribution of cash or other property that the board of directors deems necessary or desirable to retain in the business. A stock dividend takes nothing from the property of the corporation and adds nothing to the interests of the stockholders; that is, the corporation's property is not diminished and the interests of the stockholders are not increased. The proportional interest of each shareholder remains the same.") in form is a [stock split](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#stock-split "An issuance by a corporation of its own common shares to its common shareholders without consideration and under conditions indicating that such action is prompted mainly by a desire to increase the number of outstanding shares for the purpose of effecting a reduction in their unit market price and, thereby, of obtaining wider distribution and improved marketability of the shares. Sometimes called a stock split-up.") in substance. In such instances every effort shall be made to avoid the use of the word dividend in related corporate resolutions, notices, and announcements and that, in those cases in which because of legal requirements this cannot be done, the transaction be described, for example, as a stock split effected in the form of a dividend.

The following is the text of SAB Topic 1.D.2, "Free Distributions" by Japanese Companies.

-   Facts: It is the general practice in Japan for corporations to issue "free distributions" of common stock to existing shareholders in conjunction with offerings of common stock so that such offerings may be made at less than market. These free distributions usually are from 5 to 10 percent of outstanding stock and are accounted for in accordance with provisions of the Commercial Code of Japan by a transfer of the par value of the stock distributed from paid-in capital to the common stock account. Similar distributions are sometimes made at times other than when offering new stock and are also designated "free distributions." U.S. accounting practice would require that the fair value of such shares, if issued by U.S. companies, be transferred from retained earnings to the appropriate capital accounts.
    
-   Question: Should the financial statements of Japanese corporations included in Commission filings which are stated to be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP be adjusted to account for stock distributions of less than 25 percent of outstanding stock by transferring the fair value of such stock from retained earnings to appropriate capital accounts?
    
-   Interpretive Response: If registrants and their independent accountants believe that the institutional and economic environment in Japan with respect to the registrant is sufficiently different that U.S. accounting principles for stock dividends should not apply to free distributions, the staff will not object to such distributions being accounted for at par value in accordance with Japanese practice.
    
-   If such financial statements are identified as being prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, then there should be footnote disclosure of the method being used which indicates that U.S. companies issuing shares in comparable amounts would be required to account for them as stock dividends, and including in such disclosure the fair value of any such shares issued during the year and the cumulative amount (either in an aggregate figure or a listing of the amounts by year) of the fair value of shares issued over time.

## ASC 505-30: Equity — Treasury Stock

### Machine-generated study aids

```json
{
  "summary": "ASC 505-30 governs how an entity accounts for repurchases of its own outstanding common stock (treasury stock) and the later constructive or actual retirement or resale of those shares. The core rule is that treasury stock transactions are capital transactions: no gain or loss may be recognized in income or charged directly to retained earnings as profit, and differences between repurchase and resale/par amounts are allocated among additional paid-in capital and retained earnings. When shares are bought at a price differing from open-market price (e.g., from a specific shareholder), only the fair value of the shares is treasury stock cost and the excess is allocated to the other rights or privileges obtained and accounted for by their substance.",
  "key_points": [
    "Repurchase and retirement or resale of an entity's own common stock relates to the capital of the corporation and does not give rise to corporate profits or losses, and shall not be reflected in retained earnings directly or through the income statement (505-30-25-7 through 25-9).",
    "If a repurchase includes stated or unstated rights or privileges (e.g., standstill or abandoned acquisition plans), only the fair value of the shares at the date the major terms are reached is recorded as treasury stock cost, with the excess attributed to the other elements per their substance; if no other consideration is identifiable, the entire price is treasury stock cost (505-30-30-3, 505-30-30-4).",
    "Payments attributed to a standstill agreement or an agreement not to purchase additional shares are expensed as incurred because they do not create assets (505-30-25-4).",
    "An accelerated share repurchase program is accounted for as two separate transactions: a treasury stock purchase recorded on the acquisition date and a forward contract indexed to the entity's own stock under Subtopic 815-40 (505-30-25-6; Example at 505-30-55-1).",
    "On retirement or constructive retirement, an excess of repurchase price over par or stated value may be allocated between additional paid-in capital (limited to APIC from prior retirements/net treasury gains of the same issue plus a pro rata portion) and retained earnings, or charged entirely to retained earnings; an excess of par or stated value over cost is credited to APIC (505-30-30-8, 505-30-30-9).",
    "Gains on sales of treasury stock not previously constructively retired are credited to APIC; losses are charged to APIC only to the extent of prior net gains on the same class of stock, otherwise to retained earnings (505-30-30-10).",
    "Shares acquired for purposes other than retirement, or with undecided disposition, may be shown as a deduction from total capital stock, APIC, and retained earnings, or accounted for as retired stock (505-30-45-1); state law requirements at variance with this guidance control (505-30-25-2), and law-based restrictions on retained earnings must be disclosed (505-30-50-2)."

When entities repurchase their own common stock, laws applicable to those entities may affect the treatment and accounting for repurchased shares of stock. Entities sometimes pay more or less for the repurchased shares than either their [fair value](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#fair-value "The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.") or their original issue price.

This Section addresses the accounting requirements for the differences in amounts that result in either of the following situations:

1.  a
    
    An entity repurchases its own outstanding common stock for an amount that differs from the price obtainable in open market transactions.
    
2.  b
    
    An entity subsequently resells previously repurchased common stock for an amount that differs from the repurchase amount paid.
    

This Section also identifies a program to acquire treasury shares, often described as an accelerated share repurchase program, as two separate transactions.

The facts and circumstances associated with a share repurchase may suggest that the total payment relates to other than the shares repurchased. An entity offering to repurchase shares only from a specific shareholder (or group of shareholders) suggests that the repurchase may involve more than the purchase of treasury shares. Also, if an entity repurchases shares at a price that is different from the price obtainable in transactions in the open market or transactions in which the identity of the selling shareholder is not important, some portion of the amount being paid presumably represents a payment for stated or unstated rights or privileges that shall be given separate accounting recognition. See paragraph [505-30-30-3](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/505/30/#505-30-30-3) for the measurement requirements associated with the different elements identified within such a transaction.

An accelerated share repurchase program is a combination of transactions that permits an entity to repurchase a targeted number of shares immediately with the final repurchase price of those shares determined by an average market price over a fixed period of time. An accelerated share repurchase program is intended to combine the immediate share retirement benefits of a tender offer with the market impact and pricing benefits of a disciplined daily open market stock repurchase program.

An entity shall account for such an accelerated share repurchase program as the following two separate transactions:

1.  a
    
    As shares of common stock acquired in a treasury stock transaction recorded on the acquisition date
    
2.  b
    
    As a forward contract indexed to its own common stock. Subtopic 815-40 provides guidance on the accounting for contracts that are indexed to an entity's own common stock.
    

Example 1 (see paragraph [505-30-55-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/505/30/#505-30-55-1)) provides an illustration of an accelerated share repurchase program that is addressed by this guidance.

After an entity's repurchase of its own outstanding common stock, sometimes it may either retire the repurchased shares and issue additional common shares, or, as an alternative, resell the repurchased shares. In either case, the price received may differ from the amount paid to repurchase the shares. While the net asset value of the shares of common stock outstanding in the hands of the public may be increased or decreased by such repurchase and retirement, such transactions relate to the capital of the corporation and do not give rise to corporate profits or losses. There is no essential difference between the following:

1.  a
    
    The repurchase and retirement of a corporation's own common stock and the subsequent issue of common shares
    
2.  b
    
    The repurchase and resale of its own common stock.

This Section provides guidance on measuring amounts that arise from repurchases of an entity's own outstanding common stock. The measurement issues addressed include both of the following:

1.  a
    
    Determining the allocation of amounts paid to the repurchased shares and other elements of the repurchase transaction
    
2.  b
    
    Further allocation of amounts allocated to repurchased shares to various components of stockholder equity upon formal or constructive retirement.

An allocation of repurchase price to other elements of the repurchase transaction may be required if an entity purchases treasury shares at a stated price significantly in excess of the current market price of the shares. An agreement to repurchase shares from a shareholder may also involve the receipt or payment of consideration in exchange for stated or unstated rights or privileges that shall be identified to properly allocate the repurchase price.

For example, the selling shareholder may agree to abandon certain acquisition plans, forego other planned transactions, settle litigation, settle employment contracts, or restrict voluntarily the ability to purchase shares of the entity or its affiliates within a stated time period. If the purchase of treasury shares includes the receipt of stated or unstated rights, privileges, or agreements in addition to the capital stock, only the amount representing the [fair value](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#fair-value "The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.") of the treasury shares at the date the major terms of the agreement to purchase the shares are reached shall be accounted for as the cost of the shares acquired. The price paid in excess of the amount accounted for as the cost of treasury shares shall be attributed to the other elements of the transaction and accounted for according to their substance. If the fair value of those other elements of the transaction is more clearly evident, for example, because an entity's shares are not publicly traded, that amount shall be assigned to those elements and the difference recorded as the cost of treasury shares. If no stated or unstated consideration in addition to the capital stock can be identified, the entire purchase price shall be accounted for as the cost of treasury shares.

Transactions do arise, however, in which a reacquisition of an entity's stock may take place at prices different from routine transactions in the open market. For example, to obtain the desired number of shares in a tender offer to all or most shareholders, the offer may need to be at a price in excess of the current market price. In addition, a block of shares representing a controlling interest will generally trade at a price in excess of market, and a large block of shares may trade at a price above or below the current market price depending on whether the buyer or seller initiates the transaction. An entity's reacquisition of its shares in those circumstances is solely a treasury stock transaction properly accounted for at the purchase price of the treasury shares. Therefore, in the absence of the receipt of stated or unstated consideration in addition to the capital stock, the entire purchase price shall be accounted for as the cost of treasury shares.

When a corporation's stock is retired, or repurchased for constructive retirement (with or without an intention to retire the stock formally in accordance with applicable laws), _an excess of repurchase price over par or stated value_ may be allocated between additional paid-in capital and retained earnings. Alternatively, the excess may be charged entirely to retained earnings in recognition of the fact that a corporation can always capitalize or allocate retained earnings for such purposes. If a portion of the excess is allocated to additional paid-in capital, it shall be limited to the sum of both of the following:

1.  a
    
    All additional paid-in capital arising from previous retirements and net gains on sales of treasury stock of the same issue
    
2.  b
    
    The pro rata portion of additional paid-in capital, voluntary transfers of retained earnings, capitalization of stock dividends, and so forth, on the same issue. For this purpose, any remaining additional paid-in capital applicable to issues fully retired (formal or constructive) is deemed to be applicable pro rata to shares of common stock.

A repurchase of shares at a price significantly in excess of the current market price creates a presumption that the repurchase price includes amounts attributable to items other than the shares repurchased.

Investment Banker, an unrelated third party, borrows 1,000,000 shares of Company A common stock from investors, becomes the owner of record of those shares, and sells the shares short to Company A on July 1, 1999, at the [fair value](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#fair-value "The price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.") of $50 per share. Company A pays $50,000,000 in cash to Investment Banker on July 1, 1999, to settle the purchase transaction. The shares are held in treasury. Company A has legal title to the shares, and no other party has the right to vote those shares.

Company A simultaneously enters into a forward contract with Investment Banker on 1,000,000 shares of its own common stock. On the October 1, 1999, settlement date, if the volume-weighted average daily market price of Company A's common stock during the contract period (July 1, 1999, to October 1, 1999) exceeds the $50 initial purchase price (net of a commission fee to Investment Banker), Company A will deliver to Investment Banker cash or shares of common stock (at Company A's option) equal to the price difference multiplied by 1,000,000. If the volume-weighted average daily market price of Company A's common stock during the contract period is less than the $50 initial purchase price (net of a commission fee to Investment Banker), Investment Banker will deliver to Company A cash equal to the price difference multiplied by 1,000,000.

    "Every paragraph of 505-50 (Sections 05, 10, 15, 25, 30, 35, 45, 50, and 55) has been superseded and carries no operative U.S. GAAP requirements.",
    "ASU 2018-07 superseded the bulk of the subtopic and moved nonemployee share-based payment awards issued for goods or services into ASC 718, aligning their measurement with employee awards.",
    "Paragraphs addressing share-based consideration payable to a customer (for example, 505-50-25-5, 30-8, 30-18, 30-19, 30-29, 35-13 through 35-16, 50-2, and 55-25 through 55-27) were superseded by ASU 2014-09 and are now covered by the revenue guidance in ASC 606.",
    "Under the superseded model, nonemployee awards were generally remeasured until a measurement date (performance completion or a performance commitment); that variable, mark-to-market approach no longer applies after ASU 2018-07.",
    "Because the guidance is fully superseded, references to 505-50 in older contracts, filings, or textbooks should be redirected to ASC 718 (and ASC 606 for customer consideration), subject to the transition provisions of ASU 2018-07."

The common error is applying the old measurement-date/remeasurement model from legacy materials instead of ASC 718's grant-date fair value approach.",

## ASC 505-60: Equity — Spinoffs and Reverse Spinoffs

### Machine-generated study aids

```json
{
  "summary": "ASC 505-60 governs the pro rata distribution of nonmonetary assets that constitute a business to an entity's owners (a spinoff). Such distributions are recorded at the carrying (recorded) amount of the distributed business, reduced for any indicated impairment, and are never accounted for as a sale of the spinnee followed by a distribution of proceeds — even if the spun-off operations are sold immediately afterward. When the substance of the transaction differs from its legal form, the legal spinnee is treated as the accounting spinnor (reverse spinoff accounting).",
  "key_points": [
    "The Subtopic applies only to distributions of nonmonetary assets to owners that constitute a business; distributions of nonmonetary assets that do not constitute a business are outside its scope (505-60-15-2 through 15-3).",
    "Per paragraph 845-10-30-10, as applied in 505-60-25-2, a spinoff of a wholly owned or consolidated subsidiary is recorded at the subsidiary's carrying value (after reduction for any indicated impairment of value), and the transaction is not accounted for as a sale of the accounting spinnee followed by a distribution of proceeds, regardless of an immediate post-spinoff sale.",
    "In a reverse spinoff, the legal spinnee is treated as the spinnor for accounting purposes (the accounting spinnor) because in substance the legal spinnor disposed of its own operations and continued the legal spinnee's operations (505-60-25-4 through 25-5).",
    "A presumption exists that a spinoff is accounted for based on its legal form (legal spinnor = accounting spinnor); that presumption may be overcome only by judgment based on all relevant facts and circumstances (505-60-25-7 through 25-8).",
    "The four indicators of reverse spinoff accounting — relative size (assets, revenues, earnings), relative fair value, retention of senior management, and length of time to be held (a concurrent plan of sale suggests that entity is the accounting spinnee) — are evaluated together, and no single indicator is presumptive or determinative (505-60-25-8(a) through (d)).",
    "The identification of the accounting spinnee matters for reporting: the accounting spinnee is reported as a discontinued operation by the accounting spinnor if it qualifies and meets the conditions in 205-20-45-1A through 45-1C (505-60-45-1).",
    "Compensation consequences of exchanging or modifying share options or other equity instruments in connection with an equity restructuring are addressed in Topic 718 (505-60-60-1)."

This Subtopic also addresses [spinoff](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#spinoff "The transfer of assets that constitute a business by an entity (the spinnor) into a new legal spun-off entity (the spinnee), followed by a distribution of the shares of the spinnee to its shareholders, without the surrender by the shareholders of any stock of the spinnor.") transactions in which the substance of the transaction may differ from the legal form, and provides guidance on how to determine such situations and their required accounting and reporting.

An entity may desire to reorganize its operations in response to its business needs. For example, an entity (the spinnor) may transfer assets into a new legal spun-off entity (the spinnee) and distribute the shares of the spinnee to its shareholders, without the surrender by the shareholders of any stock of the spinnor. Such a transaction is commonly referred to as a spinoff. An illustration of a spinoff is presented in Example 1 (see paragraph [505-60-55-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/505/60/#505-60-55-1)).

A spinoff allows an entity to be reorganized in a manner that allows it to meet the needs of its owners. However, there may be other benefits as well. If the spinoff qualifies as a nontaxable reorganization, the distribution results in no taxable gain being recognized by either the spinnor or its shareholders. Additionally, if the spinnee is subsequently sold by the shareholders, the double taxation that would have occurred if an entity sold its subsidiary directly and distributed the proceeds to its shareholders is avoided.

In certain cases, the spinoff of a subsidiary to its shareholders is such that the legal form of the transaction does not match its substance. That is, in certain circumstances, the spinnee will be the continuing entity and the transaction will commonly be referred to as a [reverse spinoff](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#reverse-spinoff "A spinoff of a subsidiary to an entity's shareholders in which the legal form of the transaction does not match its substance such that the new legal spun-off entity (the spinnee) will be the continuing entity."). An entity needs to determine whether to account for a spinoff as a reverse spinoff based on the substance instead of the legal form of the transaction. An illustration of a reverse spinoff is presented in Example 2 (see paragraph [505-60-55-4](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/505/60/#505-60-55-4)).

This Section identifies the required accounting for a [spinoff](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#spinoff "The transfer of assets that constitute a business by an entity (the spinnor) into a new legal spun-off entity (the spinnee), followed by a distribution of the shares of the spinnee to its shareholders, without the surrender by the shareholders of any stock of the spinnor.") transaction. It also provides guidance on when a spinoff shall be treated as a [reverse spinoff](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#reverse-spinoff "A spinoff of a subsidiary to an entity's shareholders in which the legal form of the transaction does not match its substance such that the new legal spun-off entity (the spinnee) will be the continuing entity.") and the accounting required by that determination.

Paragraph [845-10-30-10](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/845/10/#845-10-30-10) requires that the accounting for the distribution of nonmonetary assets to owners of an entity in a spinoff be based on the recorded amount (after reduction, if appropriate, for an indicated impairment of value). As specified in Section 505-60-15, a further requirement of the nonmonetary assets being distributed is that they constitute 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."). Accordingly, an entity's distribution of the shares of a wholly owned or consolidated subsidiary to its shareholders shall be recorded based on the carrying value of the subsidiary. Regardless of whether the spun-off operations will be sold immediately after the spinoff, the transaction shall not be accounted for as a sale of the accounting spinnee followed by a distribution of the proceeds.

In a reverse spinoff, the legal spinnee shall be treated as though it were the spinnor for accounting purposes (accounting spinnor). This is referred to as reverse spinoff accounting.

Accounting for a reverse spinoff transaction based on its legal form would present the legal spinnor as the accounting spinnor and the legal spinnee as the accounting spinnee. However, in substance, the legal spinnor has disposed of its own operations and continued the operations of the legal spinnee. The legal form of the spinoff may have been driven primarily by tax planning strategies. Accounting for the transaction based on its substance depicts the legal spinnee as the accounting spinnor and the legal spinnor as the accounting spinnee.

Reverse spinoff accounting is appropriate if treatment of the legal spinnee as the accounting spinnor results in the most accurate depiction of the substance of the transaction for shareholders and other users of the financial statements. The determination of whether reverse spinoff accounting is appropriate is a matter of judgment that depends on an evaluation of all relevant facts and circumstances. The following paragraph provides guidance on making the required determination.

#### Determining the Accounting Spinnor and Spinnee

In order to determine the required accounting and reporting in a spinoff transaction, an entity needs to determine which party is the accounting spinnor and which is the accounting spinnee. In determining whether reverse spinoff accounting is appropriate, a presumption shall exist that a spinoff be accounted for based on its legal form, in other words, that the legal spinnor is also the accounting spinnor. However, that presumption may be overcome. An evaluation of the following indicators shall be considered in that regard. Nevertheless, no one indicator shall be considered presumptive or determinative. The following are indicators that a spinoff should be accounted for as a reverse spinoff:

1.  a
    
    The size of the legal spinnor and the legal spinnee. All other factors being equal, in a reverse spinoff, the accounting spinnor (legal spinnee) is larger than the accounting spinnee (legal spinnor). The determination of which entity is larger is based on a comparison of the assets, revenues, and earnings of the two entities. There are no established bright lines that shall be used to determine which entity is the larger of the two.
    
2.  b
    
    The fair value of the legal spinnor and the legal spinnee. All other factors being equal, in a reverse spinoff, the fair value of the accounting spinnor (legal spinnee) is greater than that of the accounting spinnee (legal spinnor).
    
3.  c
    
    Senior management. All other factors being equal, in a reverse spinoff, the accounting spinnor (legal spinnee) retains the senior management of the formerly combined entity. Senior management generally consists of the chairman of the board, chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer, and those divisional heads reporting directly to them, or the executive committee if one exists.
    
4.  d
    
    Length of time to be held. All other factors being equal, in a reverse spinoff, the accounting spinnor (legal spinnee) is held for a longer period than the accounting spinnee (legal spinnor). A proposed or approved plan of sale for one of the separate entities concurrent with the spinoff may identify that entity as the accounting spinnee.

Big Company owns and operates a mall and a retail store that occupies the anchor store position in that mall. The mall and the store are managed by two separate divisions. The shareholders of Big Company would like to split Big Company into two entities so that each can focus on its own operations. To achieve this, Big Company transfers the mall's assets and operations into a newly created subsidiary, Mall Company, and distributes the shares of Mall Company to its shareholders on a pro rata basis in a spinoff.

Snack Food Company owns two subsidiaries—Ice Cream Subsidiary and Snack Subsidiary. Ice Cream Subsidiary is significantly larger and more profitable than Snack Subsidiary. The shareholders of Snack Food Company would like to continue the ice cream operations and dispose of the snack food operations. To facilitate this, Snack Food Company distributes the shares of Ice Cream Subsidiary to the shareholders thereby creating Ice Cream Company. The shareholders are then able to dispose of the operations of Snack Food Company (now solely comprising Snack Subsidiary operations) by selling the shares directly to a third party and, at the same time, retain ownership of the Ice Cream Company.

This Example demonstrates the application of the requirements in paragraph [505-60-25-8](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/505/60/#505-60-25-8) to identify the accounting spinnor and spinnee, which may differ from the legal spinnor and spinnee. This Example has the following assumptions:

1.  a
    
    Retail Company, a retail store chain, has a wholly owned restaurant subsidiary. The retail and restaurant operations are operated independently with a small executive management team overseeing both. Because the two have unrelated operations, the shareholders believe that the two operations should be separated by way of a spinoff. They believe that this will allow those separate entities to pursue opportunities in their respective industries and maximize their individual value.
    
2.  b
    
    In order to accomplish the spinoff, Retail Company creates a new legal entity, Restaurant Company, into which the assets and operations of the restaurant subsidiary are transferred. The shares of Restaurant Company are then distributed to the shareholders of Retail Company on a pro rata basis.
    
3.  c
    
    The executive management team of Retail Company will be divided between the two entities. A comparison of the two entities is as follows.

Based on an analysis of the indicators contained in paragraph [505-60-25-8](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/505/60/#505-60-25-8), the spinoff should be accounted for in accordance with its legal form. That is, the transaction should not be accounted for as a reverse spinoff. Retail Company should be designated as the accounting spinnor based on the first two of the following indicators:

1.  a
    
    Retail Company has substantially larger operations than Restaurant Company.
    
2.  b
    
    The fair value of Retail Company is greater than Restaurant Company.
    
3.  c
    
    The management team is allocated between the two operations.
    
4.  d
    
    There are no planned or likely disposals of either Retail Company or Restaurant Company.

This Example demonstrates the application of the requirements in paragraph [505-60-25-8](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/505/60/#505-60-25-8) to identify the accounting spinnor and spinnee, which may differ from the legal spinnor and spinnee. This Example has the following assumptions:

1.  a
    
    Retail Company, a retail store chain, has a wholly owned restaurant subsidiary. The retail and restaurant operations are operated independently, with a small executive management team overseeing both. While the restaurant subsidiary has grown rapidly, the retail operations have deteriorated steadily due to increased competition. The shareholders believe that the two operations should be separated by way of a spinoff. Management intends to dispose of the retail operations.
    
2.  b
    
    In order to accomplish the spinoff, Retail Company creates a new legal entity, Restaurant Company, into which the assets and operations of the restaurant subsidiary are transferred. The shares of Restaurant Company are then distributed to the shareholders of Retail Company on a pro rata basis.
    
3.  c
    
    The executive management team of the combined entity will be assigned primarily to Restaurant Company, as the intent is to dispose of Retail Company (now solely comprising the retail operations). A comparison of certain statistics of the two entities is as follows.

Based on an analysis of the indicators contained in paragraph [505-60-25-8](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/505/60/#505-60-25-8), the spinoff should be accounted for as a reverse spinoff. Restaurant Company, although the legal spinnee, should be designated as the accounting spinnor based on the following:

1.  a
    
    Restaurant Company has substantially larger operations than Retail Company.
    
2.  b
    
    The fair value of Restaurant Company is greater than that of Retail Company.
    
3.  c
    
    The management team is primarily assigned to Restaurant Company.
    
4.  d
    
    Management intends to dispose of Retail Company upon finalizing the spinoff.

The designation of Restaurant Company as the accounting spinnor will provide the most accurate depiction of the transaction to shareholders and other users of the financial statements, as, in substance, Retail Company has disposed of its retail operations and continued its restaurant operations.

The following is the text of SAB Topic 5.Z.7, Accounting for the Spin-off of a Subsidiary.

-   Facts: A Company disposes of a business through the distribution of a subsidiary's stock to the Company's shareholders on a pro rata basis in a transaction that is referred to as a spin-off.
    
-   Question: May the Company elect to characterize the spin-off transaction as resulting in a change in the reporting entity and restate its historical financial statements as if the Company never had an investment in the subsidiary, in the manner specified by FASB ASC Topic 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections?
    
-   Interpretive Response: Not ordinarily. If the Company was required to file periodic reports under the Exchange Act within one year prior to the spin-off, the staff believes the Company should reflect the disposition in conformity with FASB ASC Topic 360. This presentation most fairly and completely depicts for investors the effects of the previous and current organization of the Company. However, in limited circumstances involving the initial registration of a company under the Exchange Act or Securities Act, the staff has not objected to financial statements that retroactively reflect the reorganization of the business as a change in the reporting entity if the spin-off transaction occurs prior to effectiveness of the registration statement. This presentation may be acceptable in an initial registration if the Company and the subsidiary are in dissimilar businesses, have been managed and financed historically as if they were autonomous, have no more than incidental common facilities and costs, will be operated and financed autonomously after the spin-off, and will not have material financial commitments, guarantees, or contingent liabilities to each other after the spin-off. This exception to the prohibition against retroactive omission of the subsidiary is intended for companies that have not distributed widely financial statements that include the spun-off subsidiary. Also, dissimilarity contemplates substantially greater differences in the nature of the businesses than those that would ordinarily distinguish reportable segments as defined by FASB ASC paragraph [280-10-50-10](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/280/10/#280-10-50-10) (Segment Reporting Topic).

## ASC 505-905: Equity — Agriculture

### Machine-generated study aids

```json
{
  "summary": "This Subtopic governs how entities in the agricultural industry — principally agricultural cooperatives — classify and present equity. Its core rule is that cooperative earnings are split between patronage source earnings (from transactions with or for patrons) and nonpatronage earnings, and that allocated equities such as retained patronage allocations and per-unit retains are presented as equity when they have no fixed maturity date and are subordinated to all debt. Unallocated nonpatronage earnings are classified as retained earnings, and allocated equities become current liabilities only when the board formally acts to revolve them.",
  "key_points": [
    "Cooperative earnings are classified as either patronage source earnings (excess of revenues over costs from transactions for or with patrons) or nonpatronage earnings from investments, nonpatronage rentals, and nonpatronage sales or purchases (505-905-45-1).",
    "Cooperative equity arises from member and nonmember investments and patronage allocations, and may also include unallocated retained earnings from after-tax nonpatronage earnings (505-905-45-2).",
    "The two most common forms of allocated patronage equities are retained patronage allocations (e.g., qualified or nonqualified written notices of allocation) and per-unit retains withheld from payments to patrons for raw product deliveries without regard to earnings (505-905-45-3).",
    "Retained patronage allocations and per-unit retains shall be treated as equity if they have no fixed maturity dates and are subordinated to all debt instruments, with disclosure of face value, dividend rate, negotiability, subordination agreements, and any revolving or retirement plan (505-905-45-4).",
    "Allocated equities that are revolved over time shall not be classified as current liabilities until the board of directors has formally acted to revolve them (505-905-45-5).",
    "Nonpatronage earnings that are not allocated shall be classified as retained earnings in the equity section; a cooperative may also elect not to allocate patronage earnings or losses (505-905-45-6).",
    "Cooperatives may issue common stock (often to establish voting rights) and preferred stock to members and nonmembers or as a form of earnings distribution; preferred dividends are tax deductible in limited amounts by exempt cooperatives but not by nonexempt cooperatives (505-905-45-7)."

This Subtopic addresses accounting for equity by entities in the agricultural industry. The guidance for accounting for [agricultural cooperatives](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/a/#agricultural-cooperative "The Agricultural Marketing Act of 1929 defines a cooperative association as any association in which farmers act together in processing, preparing for market, handling, and/or marketing the farm products of persons so engaged, and also means any association in which farmers act together in purchasing, testing, grading, processing, distributing, and/or furnishing farm supplies and/or farm business services. Provided, however, that such associations are operated for producers or purchasers and conform to one or both of the following requirements: No member of an agricultural cooperative association is allowed more than one vote because of the amount of stock or membership capital he may own therein. The association does not pay dividends on stock or membership capital in excess of 8 percent per year. In addition to meeting either of the requirements in this paragraph, the association shall not deal in farm products, farm supplies, and farm business services with or for nonmembers of an agricultural cooperative in an amount greater in value than the total amount of such business transacted by it with or for members. All business transacted by any cooperative association for or on behalf of the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof shall be disregarded in determining the volume of member and nonmember business transacted by such association.") is presented in the Cooperatives Subsections.

Generally, the earnings of [agricultural cooperatives](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/a/#agricultural-cooperative "The Agricultural Marketing Act of 1929 defines a cooperative association as any association in which farmers act together in processing, preparing for market, handling, and/or marketing the farm products of persons so engaged, and also means any association in which farmers act together in purchasing, testing, grading, processing, distributing, and/or furnishing farm supplies and/or farm business services. Provided, however, that such associations are operated for producers or purchasers and conform to one or both of the following requirements: No member of an agricultural cooperative association is allowed more than one vote because of the amount of stock or membership capital he may own therein. The association does not pay dividends on stock or membership capital in excess of 8 percent per year. In addition to meeting either of the requirements in this paragraph, the association shall not deal in farm products, farm supplies, and farm business services with or for nonmembers of an agricultural cooperative in an amount greater in value than the total amount of such business transacted by it with or for members. All business transacted by any cooperative association for or on behalf of the United States or any agency or instrumentality thereof shall be disregarded in determining the volume of member and nonmember business transacted by such association.") are classified as either [patronage](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#patronage "The amount of business done with a cooperative by one of its patrons. Patronage is measured by either the quantity or value of commodities received from patrons by a marketing cooperative and the quantity or value of the goods and services sold to patrons by a supply cooperative.") or nonpatronage. The excess of revenues over costs resulting from transactions for or with [patrons](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#patrons "Any individual, trust, estate, partnership, corporation, or agricultural cooperative with or for whom a cooperative does business on a cooperative basis, whether a member of an agricultural cooperative or nonmember of an agricultural cooperative.") shall be classified as patronage source earnings. Nonpatronage earnings result from transactions other than those with or for patrons. Examples are nonpatronage income from investments in securities, rental income from nonpatronage activities, and income earned on sales or purchases made on a nonpatronage basis.

The composition of the equity section of a cooperative's balance sheet distinguishes it from other balance sheets. Generally, its equities arise from investments by members and nonmembers and from patronage allocations. In addition, cooperatives may accumulate unallocated retained earnings arising from after-tax earnings on nonpatronage business.

Various forms of allocated equities arising from patronage are used by cooperatives. Two of the most commonly used forms are the following:

1.  a
    
    Retained patronage allocations. Retaining [patronage earnings](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#patronage-earnings "The excess of a cooperative's revenues over its costs arising from transactions done with or for its patrons. Generally a significant portion of those earnings is allocated to the cooperative's patrons in the form of cash, allocated equities, or both.") through methods such as the issuance of qualified or nonqualified [written notices of allocation](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/w/#written-notice-of-allocation "Any capital stock, revolving fund certificate, retain certificate, certificate of indebtedness, letter of advice, or other written notice to the recipient that states the dollar amount allocated to the patron by the cooperative and the portion that constitutes a patronage dividend.") is a major form of financing by cooperatives.
    
2.  b
    
    Per-unit [retains](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#retains "Amounts determined on a per-unit basis or as a percentage of patronage earnings that are withheld by cooperatives from distributions and allocated to patrons' capital accounts."). Per-unit retains are used in marketing cooperatives in accordance with debt agreements, bylaws, or board of directors' authorizations. These amounts are determined without regard to earnings and may be based on a rate per ton or on a percentage of the dollar amount of raw product delivered. Amounts are withheld from payments to patrons for deliveries of raw products and are credited to the account of each [patron](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/p/#patrons "Any individual, trust, estate, partnership, corporation, or agricultural cooperative with or for whom a cooperative does business on a cooperative basis, whether a member of an agricultural cooperative or nonmember of an agricultural cooperative.").

If the retained patronage allocations and per-unit retains have no fixed maturity dates and are subordinated to all debt instruments, they shall be treated as equity with appropriate disclosure of face value, dividend rate, negotiability, subordination agreements, and any revolving or retirement plan.

Allocated equities are usually paid, or revolved, over a number of years. The timing may be specified in the cooperative's bylaws, but it is usually at the discretion of its board of directors. The amounts shall not be classified as current liabilities until the board has formally acted to revolve the equities.

Certain transactions of cooperatives may result in unallocated equities. For example, cooperatives may derive earnings from nonpatronage business and account for these earnings as other entities do. Nonpatronage earnings are frequently not allocated and shall be classified as retained earnings in the equity section. In addition, a cooperative may elect at times not to allocate patronage earnings or losses.

In addition to allocated equities, cooperatives may issue common and preferred stock. Common stock is often issued to establish members' voting rights, whereas preferred stock may be sold to members and nonmembers on a nonpatronage basis. Cooperatives may also issue preferred stock as a form of earnings distribution. Limited amounts of dividends on preferred stock are tax deductible by exempt cooperatives, but they are not tax deductible by nonexempt cooperatives.

At a minimum, the entity must describe the capital adequacy and prompt corrective action requirements, the actual/possible effects of noncompliance, whether it is in compliance (with required and actual capital ratios and amounts for each balance sheet date), and the prompt corrective action category it was assigned at its most recent notification (942-505-50-1).

    "Quantitative disclosure includes required and actual regulatory capital ratios and amounts (which may include Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based, total risk-based, and, for savings institutions, tangible capital) as of each balance sheet date, plus factors that may significantly affect capital adequacy (942-505-50-1(c)).",

Noncompliance with regulatory capital requirements could materially affect the economic resources of a bank or savings institution and claims to those resources. Accordingly, at a minimum, an entity shall disclose all of the following in the notes to the financial statements:

1.  a
    
    A description of regulatory capital requirements for both of the following:
    
    1.  1
        
        Those for capital adequacy purposes
        
    2.  2
        
        Those established by the prompt corrective action provisions of Section 38 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act.
        
2.  b
    
    The actual or possible material effects of noncompliance with such requirements.
    
3.  c
    
    Whether the entity is in compliance with the regulatory capital requirements, including, as of each balance sheet date presented, both of the following with respect to quantitative measures:
    
    1.  1
        
        The entity's required and actual ratios and amounts of regulatory capital, which may include Common Equity Tier 1, Tier 1 leverage, Tier 1 risk-based, and total risk-based capital, and (for savings institutions) tangible capital
        
    2.  2
        
        Factors that may significantly affect capital adequacy such as potentially volatile components of capital, qualitative factors, and regulatory mandates.
        
4.  d
    
    As of each balance sheet date presented, the prompt corrective action category in which the entity was classified as of its most recent notification.
    
5.  e
    
    As of the most recent balance sheet date, whether management believes any conditions or events since notification have changed the institution's category.
    

Noncompliance with regulatory capital requirements may, when considered with other factors, raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time.

For "adequately capitalized" or "undercapitalized" entities, the disclosure in paragraph [942-505-50-1(c)](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/505/942/#505-942-50-1) shall present the minimum amounts and ratios the institution must have to be categorized as _adequately capitalized_ under the prompt corrective action framework and shall include the effect of any supervisory action that has been imposed. The amounts disclosed under that paragraph may be presented in either narrative or tabular form. The percentages disclosed shall be those applicable to the entity. Entities with CAMELS ratings of 1 that are not anticipating or experiencing significant growth and have well-diversified risk are required to maintain a minimum leverage ratio of 3.0 percent. An additional 100 to 200 basis points are required for all but these most highly rated entities. Also, if the institution has been advised that it must meet capital adequacy levels that exceed the statutory minimums, those higher levels shall be disclosed. Such institution-specific requirements also shall be the basis for management's assertion in paragraph 942-505-50-1(c) about whether the entity is in compliance.

Noncompliance with regulatory capital requirements could materially affect the economic resources of a credit union and claims to those resources. Accordingly, at a minimum, a credit union or corporate credit union within the scope of paragraph [942-10-15-2](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/942/10/#942-10-15-2) shall disclose all of the following in notes to financial statements:

1.  a

    2.  2
        
        Prompt corrective action.
        
2.  b

        Whether the institution meets the definition of a complex credit union as defined by the National Credit Union Administration
        
    2.  2
        
        The institution's required and actual capital ratios and required and actual capital amounts
        
    3.  3

    As of each balance sheet date presented, the prompt corrective action category in which the institution was classified.
    
5.  e
    
    If, as of the most recent balance-sheet date or date financial statements are issued or are available to be issued (as discussed in Section 855-10-25), the institution is not in compliance with capital adequacy requirements, the possible material effects of such conditions on amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

Branches of foreign financial institutions, while they do not have regulatory capital requirements, may be required to maintain capital-equivalent deposits and, depending on facts and circumstances, supervisory-mandated reserves. These requirements carry regulatory uncertainty of a nature similar to that posed by the regulatory capital rules in that failure to meet such mandates can result in supervisory action and ultimately going-concern questions. Accordingly, branches shall disclose such requirements. Quantitative disclosure shall be made, highlighting mandated deposit or reserve requirements and actual balances in those reserve or deposit accounts at the balance sheet date(s) reported.

{
  "summary": "This Subtopic sets the equity-related disclosure requirements for insurance entities, focusing on statutory capital and surplus and how statutory accounting practices constrain dividends. Entities must disclose statutory capital and surplus, the amount needed to meet regulatory requirements, and restrictions on retained earnings available for dividends (505-944-50-1). When state-prescribed or permitted statutory accounting practices differ from NAIC statutory accounting practices and produce a significantly different statutory surplus or risk-based capital, the entity must describe the practice and quantify its monetary effect on statutory surplus (505-944-50-2 through 50-3).",

    "Insurance entities must disclose the amount of statutory capital and surplus, the amount necessary to satisfy regulatory requirements if significant in relation to statutory capital and surplus, and the nature of statutory dividend restrictions plus retained earnings unavailable for dividends (505-944-50-1).",
    "The prescribed/permitted practice disclosures apply to annual and complete sets of interim GAAP financial statements, and are triggered only if the practices cause a significant difference in reported statutory surplus or risk-based capital versus NAIC statutory accounting practices AND state-prescribed or permitted practices differ from NAIC (or state-prescribed) practices (505-944-50-2).",
    "If triggered, the entity discloses at each financial statement date a description of the prescribed or permitted statutory accounting practice and the related monetary effect on statutory surplus (505-944-50-3).",

-   Note X. Statutory Accounting Practices
    
-   The Entity's statutory financial statements are presented on the basis of accounting practices prescribed or permitted by the \[state of domicile\] Insurance Department. \[State of domicile\] has adopted the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' statutory accounting practices as the basis of its statutory accounting practices, except that it has retained the prescribed practice of writing off goodwill immediately to statutory surplus in the year of acquisition.
    
-   In addition, the commissioner of \[state of domicile\] Insurance Department has the right to permit other specific practices that may deviate from prescribed practices. The commissioner has permitted the Entity to record its home office property at estimated fair value instead of at depreciated cost, as required by National Association of Insurance Commissioners' statutory accounting practices. This accounting practice increased statutory capital and surplus by $2.5 million and $2.3 million at December 31, 20X2 and 20X1, respectively, over what it would have been had the permitted practice not been allowed. The Entity's statutory capital and surplus, including the effects of the permitted practice, was $30.0 million and $27.9 million at December 31, 20X2 and 20X1, respectively.
    
-   Had the Entity amortized its goodwill over 10 years and recorded its home office property at depreciated cost, in accordance with National Association of Insurance Commissioners' statutory accounting practices, the Entity's capital and surplus would have been $29.9 million and $27.7 million at December 31, 20X2, and 20X1, respectively.

This Example illustrates the [record-share](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#record-share-method "A method to calculate distributions to shareholders from net investment income in which the sum of net investment income available for all classes after deducting allocated expenses, but before consideration of class-specific expenses, is divided by the total outstanding shares on the dividend record date for all classes to arrive at a gross dividend rate for all shares. From this gross rate, an amount per share for each class (the amount of incremental expenses accrued during the period divided by the record date shares outstanding for the class) is subtracted. The result is the per-share dividend available for each class."), [actual-income-available](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/a/#actual-income-available-method "A method to calculate distributions to shareholders from net investment income in which actual net investment income that has been allocated to each class (as recorded on the books) is divided by the record date shares for each class to derive the dividend payable per share."), and [simultaneous-equations](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#simultaneous-equations-method "A method to calculate distributions to shareholders from net investment income that seeks to ensure, by using simultaneous equations, that the distribution rates will differ among the classes by the anticipated differential in expense ratios.") methods generally used to calculate distributions to shareholders from net investment income.
