- 225-915Development Stage Entities225 Income Statement
This subtopic formerly prescribed how a development stage entity presented its income statement — most notably cumulative amounts of revenues and expenses from inception. Every paragraph (225-915-05-1, 15-1, and 45-1) was superseded by ASU 2014-10, which eliminated the concept of a development stage entity from U.S. GAAP. As a result, there are no remaining presentation requirements in ASC 225-915.

- 915-10Overall915 Development Stage Entities
ASC 915-10 formerly set out the "Overall" guidance for development stage entities — entities devoting substantially all efforts to establishing a new business that had no principal operations or no significant revenue. All of its substantive content (scope, background, and the transition paragraph) was superseded by ASU 2014-10, which eliminated the incremental reporting requirements for development stage entities; the transition guidance in 915-10-65-1 was itself superseded on 06/23/2016 after the transition period ended. The subtopic is now an empty shell with no operative U.S. GAAP requirements.
