SUMMARY OF BOARD DECISIONS
Summary of Board decisions are provided for the information and 
convenience of constituents who want to follow the Board´s deliberations. All of 
the conclusions reported are tentative and may be changed at future Board 
meetings. Decisions are included in an Exposure Draft for formal comment only 
after a formal written ballot. Decisions in an Exposure Draft may be (and often 
are) changed in redeliberations based on information provided to the Board in 
comment letters, at public roundtable discussions, and through other 
communication channels. Decisions become final only after a formal written 
ballot to issue an Accounting Standards Update.
April 9, 2012 FASB Board Meeting
FASB 
ratification of EITF tentative conclusions. The Board approved the 
following consensuses reached at the March 15, 2012 meeting of the EITF and 
decided to expose them for public comment for a period of 90 
days.
Issue 12-A, "Not-for-Profit Entities: Classification of the 
Sale of Donated Securities in the Statement of Cash Flows"
Cash 
receipts resulting from the sale of donated securities by not-for-profit 
entities (NFPs) that upon receipt are directed for sale and for which the NFP 
has the ability to avoid significant investment risks and rewards through near 
immediate conversion into cash should be classified as operating cash flows. If, 
however, the donor restricted the use of those contributed resources (meeting 
the conditions above) to the acquisition, construction, or improvement of 
long-lived assets or to establish or increase a permanent or term endowment, 
then those cash receipts should be classified as financing cash 
flows.
The consensus-for-exposure does not require any additional 
recurring disclosures.
The proposed amendments should be applied 
prospectively to cash receipts on or after the date of adoption from the sale of 
donated securities. Retrospective application to all prior periods presented 
upon the date of adoption would be permitted but not required. The Task Force 
decided that earlier adoption of the proposed amendments should be permitted. 
Issue 12-C, "Subsequent Accounting for an Indemnification Asset 
Recognized at the Acquisition Date as a Result of a Government-Assisted 
Acquisition of a Financial Institution"
An indemnification asset 
recognized in accordance with Subtopic 805-20, Business 
Combinations—Identifiable Assets and Liabilities, and Any Noncontrolling 
Interest, as a result of a government-assisted acquisition of a financial 
institution involving an indemnification agreement should be subsequently 
measured on the same basis as the asset subject to indemnification. Any 
amortization of changes in value should be limited to any contractual 
limitations on the amount and the term of the indemnification agreement. When 
considering the contractual term of the indemnification agreement, an entity 
should consider the lesser of the term of the indemnification agreement and the 
term of the indemnified assets.
The consensus-for-exposure does not 
require any additional recurring disclosures.
The proposed amendments 
should be applied prospectively to any new indemnification assets acquired and 
to changes in expected cash flows of existing indemnification assets occurring 
on or after the date of adoption. Prior periods would not be adjusted and 
earlier adoption would be permitted. 
Issue 12-E, "Accounting for 
Fair Value Information That Arises after the Measurement Date and Its Inclusion 
in the Impairment Analysis of Unamortized Film Costs"
The 
consensus-for-exposure would eliminate the rebuttable presumption in Topic 926, 
Entertainment—Films, that the conditions leading to the write-down of 
unamortized film costs after the balance sheet date existed as of the balance 
sheet date. The consensus-for-exposure also would eliminate the requirement that 
an entity incorporate into fair value measurements used in the impairment tests 
the effects of any changes in estimates resulting from the consideration of 
subsequent evidence if the information would not have been considered by market 
participants at the measurement date.
The consensus-for-exposure does not 
require any additional recurring disclosures. Entities would need to comply with 
the disclosure requirements in Topic 855, Subsequent Events, and other relevant 
Codification Topics, as applicable.
The proposed amendments should be 
applied prospectively for impairment tests performed after the date of adoption 
with earlier application permitted. In addition, earlier application would be 
permitted if an entity's financial statements for the most recent period have 
not yet been issued or, for a nonpublic entity, if the entity´s financial 
statements have not yet been made available for issuance.
