The company should report the change in the contingency accrual as a 2009 event due change in estimate. ASC 250-10-45-17 specifies that “a change in accounting estimate shall not be accounted for by restating or retrospectively adjusting amounts reported in financial statements of prior periods.” Additionally, ASC 450-20-25-7 indicates that “all estimated losses for loss contingencies shall be charged to income rather than charging some to income and others to retained earnings as prior period adjustments”.

25-7 If a loss cannot be accrued in the period when ti is probable that an asset had been impaired or a liability had been incurred because the amount of loss cannot be reasonable estimated, the loss shall be charged to the income of the period in which the loss can be reasonably estimated and shall not be charged retroactively to an earlier period. All estimated losses for loss contingencies shall be charged to income rather than charging some to income and others to retained earnings as prior period adjustments.”

As discussed above, if indicators of impairment exist for an asset (group) to be held and used, an entity determines whether the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows attributable to the asset (group) in question is less than its carrying amount. If those undiscounted cash flows are less than

According to AASB 112, main principal of tax effect is to recognize deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability if it is probable that future recovery or settlement of asset or liability makes future tax payments larger or smaller. Requirements are to separately disclose main parts of tax expense, aggregate current and deferred tax relating to items recognized directly in equity, information demonstrating a relationship between tax expense & company’s accounting profit, and certain information relevant to temporary differences and deferred tax assets.

An accrual is not made for a loss contingency because any of the conditions in paragraph 450-20-25-2 are not met., b.  An exposure to loss exists in excess of the amount accrued pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 450-20-30-1.” Therefore, they also need to disclose the range of the possible loss with some explanation.

The second way that Athina could have approached this issue is that Athina could have considered the write-off as an unusual or non-recurring item seeing as how the inventory-turned-obsolete was not something that happens regularly. In this case, by considering this event as unusual or non-recurring, there would have been no effect on the net income before unusual or non-recurring items.

The authoritative guidance for asset impairment is to ensure that impairment is recorded and dealt with as depreciation. The scope of the standard is writing off of assets and depreciation. According to the guidance of 360-10-35, it address how long-lived assets that are intended to be held and used in an entity’s business shall be reviewed for impairment. The impairment loss can only be recognized if the carrying amount of a long-lived assets is not recoverable and

While not defined by ASC 740, practice has generally been to consider the most recent three years when assessing cumulative losses. Positive evidence of sufficient quantity and quality would be needed to overcome this significant negative evidence and conclude that a valuation allowance is not warranted. As with all elements of available evidence, a cumulative loss is simply one data point — it is not a "bright line" test that is in and of itself determinative of the need for a valuation allowance. To illustrate, assume that a company is in a three-year cumulative income position of $10 million, but the results of the past three years have flipped from income to losses (2006: income of $100 million; 2007: loss of $30 million; 2008: loss of $60 million). Does the fact that the company is still in a three-year cumulative income position at the end of 2008 automatically suggest that a valuation allowance is not warranted? On the other hand, assume a company had previously recorded a full valuation allowance and incurred a loss of $100 million in 2008, but earned $30 million in 2009 and $60 million in 2010. Does the fact that the company is still in a

There presents some positive evidence to avoid the recording of valuation allowance. First, Packer, Inc has a profitable operation history from 1995 to 1997, despite a significant loss in 1994. This is agreed by FASB, which states that a “strong earnings history coupled with evidence indicating that the loss (for example, an unusual, infrequent, or extraordinary item) is an aberration rather than a continuing condition” is a piece of positive evidence (FASB 740-10-30-22). These profits may be carried forward into the future to offset net-operating loss. Secondly, Packer may not generate any significant U.S Federal tax net operating loss carry forwards in the near future because it has the ability to utilize tax planning, such as capitalization of R&D. Thirdly, Packer has never lost deferred tax benefits due to expiration of a US net operating loss carry-forwards.

For example the extra charge for maintenance accumulated from last year and for this year should be equally divided and not charged to the first quarter only. Similarly, cost of relocating the Southern Paper Sioux Springs office that has been charged to the first quarter, had been the expenditure incurred last year. It should not have been included in the first quarter. No doubt these are good accounting practices but nevertheless reverting the charges to their respective results would not compromise GAAP practice. Unrealized income would be better off transferred to the next or the last quarter as the income received would not materialize until at the end of the year. Including the dividend from the company's Brazilian unit would not help increase profitability at the end of the year unless the company is assured of its profitability. As of now it needs to balance its accounts before it can estimate correct profit level at the end of the year. With regard to the obsolete inventories, there is no alternative course of action but to write-off from this
