  1. 205-40Going Concern205 Presentation of Financial Statements

    ASC 205-40 requires management of every entity, in connection with preparing annual and interim financial statements, to evaluate whether conditions and events considered in the aggregate raise substantial doubt about the entity's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued (or are available to be issued). Substantial doubt exists when it is probable the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due in that lookforward period, assessed initially without regard to unimplemented management plans. Depending on whether management's plans alleviate that doubt, prescribed note disclosures — including an express "substantial doubt" statement when doubt is not alleviated — are required.

  2. 220-20Unusual or Infrequently Occurring Items220 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income

    ASC 220-20 governs how an entity presents and discloses material events or transactions that are unusual in nature, infrequent in occurrence, or both. Such items must be reported as a separate component of income from continuing operations, with their nature and financial effects either shown on the face of the income statement or disclosed in the notes (220-20-45-1; 220-20-50-1). They may not be presented net of tax on the face of the income statement, and their per-share effects may not be shown there.

  3. 220-30Business Interruption Insurance220 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income

    ASC 220-30 governs how an entity presents and discloses recoveries under business interruption insurance — insurance covering lost gross margin, a portion of fixed charges and expenses related to that lost margin, and extra expenses incurred to mitigate the interruption loss. The core rule is permissive on presentation: an entity may choose any classification of the recoveries in the statement of operations so long as it is not contrary to existing GAAP (220-30-45-1). In exchange for that flexibility, the Subtopic mandates note disclosure of the event and the amount and location of recoveries recognized.
