Paragraph [852-10-45-21](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/852/10/#852-10-45-21) requires additional information to be disclosed in the notes to the initial fresh-start financial statements when fresh-start reporting is adopted. That additional information consists of all of the following:

1.  a
    
    Adjustments to the historical amounts of individual assets and liabilities
    
2.  b
    
    The amount of debt forgiveness
    
3.  c
    
    Significant matters relating to the determination of [reorganization value](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/r/#reorganization-value "The value attributed to the reconstituted entity, as well as the expected net realizable value of those assets that will be disposed of before reconstitution occurs. Therefore, this value is viewed as the value of the entity before considering liabilities and approximates the amount a willing buyer would pay for the assets of the entity immediately after the restructuring."), including all of the following:
    
    1.  1
        
        The method or methods used to determine reorganization value and factors such as discount rates, tax rates, the number of years for which cash flows are projected, and the method of determining [terminal value](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/t/#terminal-value "A component of reorganization value.Reorganization value calculated based on the discounting of cash flows normally consists of three parts; the discounted cash flows determined for the forecast period, the residual value or terminal value, and the current value of any excess working capital or other assets that are not needed in reorganization. Terminal or residual value represents the present value of the business attributable to the period beyond the forecast period.")
        
    2.  2
        
        Sensitive assumptions—that is, assumptions about which there is a reasonable possibility of the occurrence of a variation that would have significantly affected measurement of reorganization value
        
    3.  3
        
        Assumptions about anticipated conditions that are expected to be different from current conditions, unless otherwise apparent.
