- 15 -
• When is this applicable to me?– Your company is privately held– Your balance sheet has goodwill
• What has changed?– Upon adoption, amortize goodwill over a ten year period rather
than testing annually for impairment
GOODWILL
![Page 16: Accounting Standards Update](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062821/589be2491a28aba5108b5d81/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
- 16 -
• Effective for periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 (early adoption permitted)
• Existing goodwill can be amortized prospectively (no restatement or “catch-up”)
GOODWILL
![Page 17: Accounting Standards Update](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062821/589be2491a28aba5108b5d81/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
- 17 -
• Current Standard: Require at least annual impairment
testing
Compare the implied fair value with the carrying value
Perform a hypothetical application of the acquisition method
Record any impairment as a current charge to earnings
GOODWILL
![Page 18: Accounting Standards Update](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062821/589be2491a28aba5108b5d81/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
- 18 -
• Updated Standard: Amortize goodwill
Test for impairment with triggering event
No hypothetical application of the acquisition method; impairment is excess of carrying amount over fair value
Impairment still a charge against current earnings
GOODWILL
![Page 19: Accounting Standards Update](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062821/589be2491a28aba5108b5d81/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

- 20 -
• Example One: Alvin Co. acquires the assets of Simon, Inc. for $2MM. The fair
value of Simon’s net assets is $1.8MM, resulting in residual goodwill of $200,000
Alvin can amortize the $200k of goodwill over 10 years, resulting in annual amortization expense of $20,000
GOODWILL
![Page 21: Accounting Standards Update](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062821/589be2491a28aba5108b5d81/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
- 21 -
• Example One (continued): In Year 2, Simon’s primary supplier of materials ceases
operations, and the only option is to purchase from a supplier that charges 50% more for materials (this is significant)
Triggering event, requiring impairment test, which indicates that the carrying amount exceeds fair value by $50,000
Current year impairment charge of $50k
GOODWILL
![Page 22: Accounting Standards Update](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062821/589be2491a28aba5108b5d81/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
- 22 -
• Example One (continued): Remaining net goodwill of $130k (original $200k, less year
one amortization of $20k, less impairment of $50k) is amortized over the remaining nine years
