Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. As additional information becomes available or actual amounts become determinable, the recorded estimates are revised and reflected in operating results. C ertain amounts have been reclassified in prior years’ financial statements to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on total revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, or shareholders’ equity for all periods presented.
Consolidation | Co nsolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of MBIA Inc., its wholly-owned subsidiaries and all other entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been elimin ated. The Company determines whether it has a controlling financial interest in an entity by first evaluating whether an entity is a voting interest entity or a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Voting interest entities are entities in which (i) the total equity investment at risk is sufficient to enable an entity to finance its activities independently and (ii) the equity holders have the obligation to absorb losses, the right to receive residual returns and the right to make decisions about the entity’s a ctivities. Voting interest entities are consolidated when the Company has a majority voting interest. VIEs are entities that lack one or more of the characteristics of a voting interest entity. The consolidation of a VIE is required if an entity has a vari able interest (such as an equity or debt investment, a beneficial interest, a guarantee, a written put option or a similar obligation) and that variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in the VIE. A controlling financial inte rest is present when an enterprise has both (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could pote ntially be significant to the VIE. The enterprise with the controlling financial interest, known as the primary beneficiary, is required to consolidate the VIE. The Company consolidates all VIEs in which it is the primary beneficiary. Refer to “Note 4: Variable Interest Entities” f or additional information. T he Company elected to apply the fair value option to all financial assets and financial liabilities of certain consolidated VIEs on a VIE-by-VIE basis.
Investments | Investments The Company classifies its investments as available-for-sale (“AFS”), held-to-maturity (“HTM”), or trading. A FS investments are reported in the consolidated balance sheets at fair value with unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable deferred income taxes, reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) in shareholders’ equity. Investments carried at fair value are reported in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value and changes in fair value and realized gains and losses from the sale of these securities are reflected in earnings as part of “Net gains (losses) on financial instruments at fair value and foreign exchange.” Investments carried at fair value are classified as trading and consist of debt securities held in portfolios that are actively managed and are subject to frequent buying an d selling. Short-term investments held as AFS include all fixed-maturity securities with a remaining effective term to maturity of less than one year, commercial paper and money market securities. HTM investments are reported in the consolidated balance sh eets at amortized cost. D ebt securities are classified as HTM investments when the Company has the ability and intent to hold such investments to maturity. Investment income is recorded as earned. Bond discounts and premiums are amortized using the effecti ve yield method over the remaining term of the securities and reported in “Net investment income.” For mortgage-backed securities (“MBS”) and ABS, discounts and premiums are amortized using the retrospective method. Realized gains and losses represent the difference between the amortized cost value and the sale proceeds. Other-Than-Temporary Impairments on Investment Securities The Company’s consolidated statements of operations reflect the full impairment (the difference between a security’s amortized cost basis and fair value) on debt securities that the Company intends to sell or would more likely than not be required to sell before the ex pected recovery of the amortized cost basis. For AFS and HTM debt securities that management has no intent to sell and believes that it is more likely than not such securities will not be required to be sold prior to recovery, only the credit loss componen t of the impairment is recognized in earnings. For AFS securities, the remaining fair value loss is recognized in AOCI, net of applicable deferred income taxes. The Company’s AFS and HTM securities for which the fair value is less than amortized cost are r eviewed no less than quarterly in order to determine whether a credit loss exists. This evaluation includes both qualitative and quantitative considerations. In assessing whether a decline in value is related to a credit loss, the Company considers several factors, including but not limited to (a) the magnitude and duration of the decline, (b) credit indicators and the reasons for the decline, such as general interest rate or credit spread movements, credit rating downgrades, issuer-specific changes in cred it spreads, and the financial condition of the issuer, and (c) any guarantees associated with a security such as those provided by financial guarantee insurance companies. Credit loss expectations for ABS and CDOs are assessed using discounted cash flow mo deling, and the recoverability of amortized cost for corporate obligations is generally assessed using issuer-specific credit analyses.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Collateral | Cash, Cash Equivalents and Collateral Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, demand deposits, and deposits with banks with original maturities of less than 90 days.
Deferred Policy Acquisition Costs | Acquisition Costs The Company capitalizes and defers acquisition costs that are directly related to the successful acquisition of new or renewal insurance business. A cquisition costs are costs to acquir e an insurance contract which result directly from and is essential to the insurance contracts transaction and would not have been incurred by the Company had the contract transaction not occurred. Acquisition costs include compensation of employees involv ed in underwriting, certain rating agency fees, state premium taxes and certain other underwriting expenses, reduced by ceding commission income on premiums ceded to reinsurers. A cquisition costs also include ceding commissions paid by the Company in conne ction with assuming business from other financial guarantors. A cquisition costs, net of ceding commissions received, related to non-derivative insured financial guarantee transactions are deferred and amortized over the period in which the related premiums are earned. Acquisition costs related to insured derivative transactions are expensed as incurred.
Property and Equipment | Property and Equipment Property and equipment consists of l and, buildings, leasehold improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment and software owned by the Company. All property and equipment held for use is recorded at cost and, except for land, is depreciated over the appropriate useful life of the asset using the straight-line method. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the useful life of the imp rovement or the remaining term of the lease, whichever is shorter. The cost and related accumulated depreciation applicable to assets sold or retired are removed from the Company’s balance sheet and any gain or loss on disposition is recognized in earnings as a component of “Other net realized gains (losses).” Maintenance and repairs are charged to current earnings as incurred. Property, leasehold improvements and equipment are tested for potential impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances sugg est that an asset’s or asset group’s carrying value may not be fully recoverable. An impairment loss, calculated as the difference between the estimated fair value and the carrying value of an asset or asset group, is recognized if the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flows relating to the asset or asset group is less than the corresponding carrying value. The Company’s estimated remaining weighted average useful lives of each class of assets held for use as of December 31, 2014 are as follows:
| Leasehold improvements |  | 15 years |
| Furniture and fixtures |  | 6 years |
| Equipment and software |  | 4 years |
Derivatives | Derivatives MBIA has entered into derivative transactions as a n a lternative form of financial guarantee and for purposes of managing risks associated with existing assets and liabilities. All derivative instruments are re ported at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet s as either assets or liabilities depending on the rights or obligations under the contract, and changes in fair value are re ported in the consolidated statements of operations as “N et gains (losses) on financial instruments at fa ir value and foreign exchange” or “Unrealized gains (losses) on insured derivatives” depending on the nature of the derivative. The Company elected to record at fair value certain financial instruments that contained an embedded derivative that requir ed bi furcation from the host contract and to be accounted for separately as a derivative instrument. These hybrid financial instruments included certain medium-term notes (“MTNs”) and certain AFS securities. The Company elected to fair value these hybrid financ ial instruments given the complexity of bifurcating the embedded derivatives. Refer to “Note 9: Derivative Instruments” for a further discussion of the Company’s use of derivatives and their impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and “Note 7: Fair Value of Financial Instruments” fo r derivative valuation techniques and fair value disclosures.
Offsetting of Fair Value Amounts Related to Derivative Instruments | Offsetting of Fair Value Amounts Related to Derivative Instruments The Company present s the fair value amounts recognized for eligible derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty on a net basis in the consolidated balance sheets. Accrued receivables and accrued payables which meet the offsetting criteria are netted separately from the derivative amounts and reported in “O ther assets” or “O ther liabilities.” Cash collateral is offset against amounts recognized as derivative liabilities and the related accrued interest for eligible derivative contracts. Refer to “Note 9: Derivative Instruments” for the impact of offsetting eligible derivative contracts executed with the same counterparty on the conso lidated balance sheets.
Fair Value Measurements - Definition and Hierarchy | Fair Value Measurements—Definition and Hierarchy In determining fair value, the Company uses various valuation approaches, including both market and income approaches. The accounting guidance for fair value measurement establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available and reliable. Observable inputs are those the Co mpany believes that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data. Unobservable inputs are those that reflect the Company’s beliefs about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels based on the observability and reliability of inputs as follows: Level 1—Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets o r liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Assets utilizing Level 1 inputs generally include U.S. Treasuries, foreign government bonds, money market securities and certain corporate obligations that are highly liquid and actively traded. Level 2—Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 assets include debt securities with quoted prices that are traded less frequently than excha nge-traded instruments, securities which are priced using observable inputs and derivative contracts whose values are determined using a pricing model with inputs that are observable in the market or can be derived principally from or corroborated by obser vable market data. Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the overall fair value measurement. Level 3 assets and liabilities include financial instruments whose va lue is determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, as well as instruments for which the determination of fair value requires significant management judgment or estimation. The level of activity in a market c ontributes to the determination of whether an input is observable. An active market is one in which transactions for an asset or liability occurs with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. In determining whethe r a market is active or inactive, the Company considers the following traits to be indicative of an active market: transactions are frequent and observable; prices in the market are current; price quotes among dealers do not vary significantly over time; and sufficient information relevant to valuation is publicly available. The availability of observable inputs can vary from product to product and period to period and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, the type of product, whether the product is new and not yet established in the marketplace, and other characteristics particular to the transaction. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the m arket, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by the Company in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair valu e may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls is determined based on the lowest level input that is s ignificant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, the Company’s own assumptions are set to reflect those that it believes market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. The Company uses prices and inputs that are current as of the measurement date, including dur ing periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be reclassified from Level 1 to Level 2 or from Level 2 to Level 3. The Company has also taken into account its own nonperformance risk and that of its counterparties when measuring fair value. Refer to “Note 7: Fair Value of Financial Instruments” for additional fair value disclosures.
Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses | Loss and Loss Adjustment Expenses The Company recognizes loss rese rves on a contract-by-contract basis when the present value of expected net cash outflows to be paid under the contract discounted using a risk-free rate as of the measurement date exceeds the unearned premium revenue. A loss reserve is subsequently remeas ured each reporting period for expected increases or decreases due to changes in the likelihood of default and potential recoveries. Subsequent changes to the measurement of the loss reserves are recognized as loss expense in the period of change. Measurem ent and recognition of loss reserve s are reported gross of any reinsurance. The Company estimates the likelihood of possible claim payments and possible recoveries using probability-weighted expected cash flows based on information available as of the meas urement date, including market information. Accretion of the discount on a loss reserve is included in loss expense. The Company recognizes potential recoveries on paid claims based on probability-weighted net cash inflows present valued at applicable risk-free rates as of the measurement date. Such amounts are reported within “Insurance loss recoverable” on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. To the extent the Company had recorded potential recoveries in its loss reserves previous to a claim payment, such recoveries are reclassified to “Insurance loss recoverable” upon payment of the related claim and remeasured each reporting period. The Company’s loss reserve, insurance loss recoverable, and accruals for loss adjustment expense (“LAE”) incurred are disclosed in “Note 6: Loss and Loss Adjustment Expense Reserves.”
Debt | Investment Agreements and Medium-Term Notes Investment agreements and MTNs are carried at the principal amount outstanding plus accrued interest and net of any unamortized premiums or discounts or at fair value for certain MTNs. Interest expense is accrued at the contractual interest rate. Premiums and discounts related to investment agreements and MTNs are amortized and reported as interest expense based on the effective yield method. Long-term Debt Long-term debt is carried at the principal amount outstanding plus accrued interest and net of any unamortized discounts.
Financial Guarantee Insurance Premiums | Financial Guarantee Insurance Premiums Unearned Premium Revenue and Receivable for Future Premiums The Company recognizes a liability for unearned premium revenue at the inception of financial guarantee insurance and reinsurance contracts on a contract-by-contract basis. Unearned premium revenue recognized at inception of a contract is measured at the present value of the premium due. For most financial guarantee i nsurance contracts, the Company receives the entire premium due at the inception of the contract, and recognizes unearned premium revenue liability at that time. For certain other financial guarantee contracts, the Company receives premiums in installments over the term of the contract. Unearned premium revenue and a receivable for future premiums are recognized at the inception of an installment contract, and measured at the present value of premiums expected to be collected over the contract period or exp ected period using a risk-free discount rate. The expected period is used in the present value determination of unearned premium revenue and receivable for future premiums for contracts where (a) the insured obligation is contractually prepayable, (b) prep ayments are probable, (c) the amount and timing of prepayments are reasonably estimable, and (d) a homogenous pool of assets is the underlying collateral for the insured obligation. The Company has determined that substantially all of its installment contr acts meet the conditions required to be treated as expected period contracts. The receivable for future premiums is reduced as installment premiums are collected. The Company reports the accretion of the discount on installment premiums receivable as premi um revenue and discloses the amount recognized in “Note 5: Insurance Premiums.” The Company assesses the receivable for future premiums for collectability each reporting period, adjusts the receivable for uncollectible amounts and recognizes any write-off as operati ng expense, and discloses the amount recognized in “Note 5: Insurance Premiums.” As premium revenue is recognized, the unearned premium revenue liability is reduced. Premium Revenue Recognition The Company recognizes and measures premium revenue over the period of the contract in proportion to the amount of insurance protection provided. Premium revenue is measured by applying a constant rate to the insured principal amount outstanding in a given period to recognize a proportionate share of the premium received or e xpected to be received on a financial guarantee insurance contract. A constant rate for each respective financial guarantee insurance contract is calculated as the ratio of (a) the present value of premium received or expected to be received over the perio d of the contract to (b) the sum of all insured principal amounts outstanding during each period over the term of the contract. An issuer of an insured financial obligation may retire the obligation prior to its scheduled maturity through refinancing or le gal defeasance in satisfaction of the obligation according to its indenture, which results in the Company’s obligation being extinguished under the financial guarantee contract. The Company recognizes any remaining unearned premium revenue on the insured o bligation as refunding premiums earned in the period the contract is extinguished to the extent the unearned premium revenue has been collected. Non-refundable commitment fees are considered insurance premiums and are initially recorded under unearned prem ium revenue in the consolidated balance sheets when received. Once the related financial guarantee insurance policy is issued, the commitment fees are recognized as premium written and earned using the constant rate method. If the commitment agreement expi res before the related financial guarantee is issued, the non-refundable commitment fee is immediately recognized as premium written and earned at that time.
Fee and Reimbursement Revenue Recognition | Fee and Reimbursement Revenue Recognition The Company collects insurance related fees for services performed in connection with certain transactions. In addition, the Company may be entitled to reimbursement of third-party insurance expenses that it incurs in connection with certain transactions. Depending upon the type of fee received and whether it i s related to an insurance policy, the fee is either earned when it is received or deferred and earned over the life of the related transaction. Work, waiver and consent, termination, administrative and management fees are earned when the related services a re completed and the fee is received. Fees related to investment management services are recognized in earnings over the period that the related services are provided. Asset management fees are typically based on the net asset values of assets under manag ement.
Stock-Based Compensation | Stock-Based Compensation The Company recognizes in earnings all stock-based payment transactions at the fair value of the stock-based compensation provided. Refer to “Note 16: Long-term Incentive Plans” for a further discussion regarding the methodology utilized in recogniz ing employee stock compensation expense.
Foreign Currency Translation | Foreign Currency Translation Financial statement assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars generally using rates of exchange prevailing as of the balance sheet date. O perating results are translated at average rates of exchange prevailing during the year. Unrealized gains or losses, net of deferred taxes, resulting from translation of the financial statements of a non-U.S. operation, when the functional currency is othe r than the U.S. dollar, are included in “A ccumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in shareholders’ equity. Foreign currency remeasurement gains and losses resulting from transactions in non-functional currencies are recorded in earnings. Exchange gai ns and losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are recorded in earnings.
Income Taxes | Income Taxes Deferred income taxes are recorded with respect to loss carryforwards and temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and the report ed amounts in the Company’s financial statements that will result in deductible or taxable amounts in future years when the reported amounts of assets and liabilities are recovered or settled. Such temporary differences relate principally to premium revenu e recognition, deferred acquisition costs, unrealized gains or losses on investments and insured derivatives, asset impairments, cancellation of indebtedness income, and net operating losses. Valuation allowances are established to reduce deferred tax asse ts to the amount that more likely than not will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effect of changes in tax laws and rates in the period in which changes are approved by the relevant authority. MBIA Inc. and its eligible U.S. subsidiaries file a consolidated f ederal income tax return. The U.S. income taxes, which represent a majority of the taxes paid by the Company, are allocated based on the provisions of the Company’s tax sharing agreement which governs the intercompany settlement of tax obligations and benefits. The method of allocation between the members is generally based upon separate-company calculations as if each member filed a separate tax return on its own. A s of December 31, 201 4, any member with a net operati ng loss (“NOL”) h a s not r e c e i v e d a ny p a y m e nt w i t h r e s p e c t t o stand-alone t a x l o s s e s c on t r i bu t e d t o t he c o n s o l i d a t e d gro u p. Each member with an NOL w il l r e c ei v e b e n e f i t s o f i t s tax l o ss e s and credits a s i t i s a b l e t o e a rn them out i n t he fu t ur e.H o w e v e r, based on current facts and circumstances, M BIA In c. has advised its subsidiaries that, its intention is not t o al l ow a ny member’s NOL, capital loss or tax credit carryforward g e n e r a t e d b y any subsidiary t o e xp i re w i t hout c o m p e n s a t i o n, t o t he e x t e nt such carryforward is u s e d i n c on s o l i d a t i on. Such intention is independent of the tax sharing agreement which does not require any such compensation. In establishing a liability for an unrecognized tax benefit (“UTB”), assumptions may be made in determining whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by the taxing authority and also in determining the ultimate amount that is likely to be realized. A tax position is recognized only when, based on management’s judgment regard ing the application of income tax laws, it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination. The amount of tax benefit recognized is based on the Company’s assessment of the largest amount of benefit that is more likely than not to be realized on ultimate settlement with the taxing authority. This measurement is based on many factors, including whether a tax dispute may be settled through negotiation with the taxing authority or is only subject to review in the courts. As new information becomes available, the Company evaluates its tax positions, and adjusts its UTB, as appropriate. If the tax benefit ultimately realized differs from the amount previously recognized, the Company recognizes an adjustment of the UTB. Refer to “Note 11: Income Taxes” for additional information about the Company’s income taxes.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards | Recently Adopted Accounting Standards Income Taxes (Topic 740) —Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists (ASU 2013-11) In July of 201 3, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 74 0)—Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforwar d Exists.” ASU 2013-11 requires presentation of an UTB as a reduction to a deferred tax asset when a NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists in the same tax year and jurisdiction as the UTB. ASU 2013-11 does not affect the recognition or measurement of uncertain tax positions under “Income Taxes (Topic 740)” and does not affect any related tax disclosures. ASU 2013-11 was effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2014. The Company previously present ed an y UTBs as a reduction to a deferred tax asset in accordance with ASU 2013-11 as all of its UTBs relate to the same tax years and jurisdictions in which NOLs exist, therefore, this accounting pronouncement did not affect the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company has not adopted any other new accounting pronouncements that had a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted | Recent Accounting Developments Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, P lant, and Equipment (Topic 360) —Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity In April of 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360)-Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.” ASU 2014-08 changes the criteria for determining whether a disposal of a component or group of components of an entity qualifies for discontinued operations presentation and requires new disclosures. ASU 2014-08 amends the definition of discontinued operation to a disposal of components of an entity that represent strategic shifts that have, or will have, a major e ffect on an entity’s operations and financial results. ASU 2014-08 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2015, and with early adoption permitted but only for disposals or classifications as held for sale that have not been report ed in previously issued financial statements. The adoption of ASU 2014-08 is not expected to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (ASU 2014-09) In May of 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” ASU 2014-09 amends the accounting guidance for recognizing revenue for the transfer of goods or services from contracts with customers unless those contracts are within the scope of other ac counting standards. ASU 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2017, and is applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2014-09. Tra nsfers and Servicing (Topic 860) — Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (ASU 2014-11) In June of 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-11, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860)-Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Discl osures.” The repurchase agreements and similar transactions guidance is amended by ASU 2014-11 to change the accounting for i.) repurchase-to-maturity transactions to secured borrowing accounting and ii.) linked repurchase financing transactions to secured borrowing accounting. ASU 2014-11 amends disclosure requirements for transfers accounted for as sales, and for repurchase transactions accounted for as secured borrowings. ASU 2014-11 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2015, and is applied on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2014-11 is not expected to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718) — Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period (A Consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force) (ASU 2014-12) In June of 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718)-Accou nting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period.” ASU 2014-12 requires that a performance target that affects vesting of share-based payment awards and that co uld be achieved after an employee’s requisite service period be accounted for as a performance condition. ASU 2014-12 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2016 with early adoption permitted, and is applied on a prospective basis or retrospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2014-12 is not expected to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Consolidation (Topic 810) —Measuring the Financial Assets and the Financial Liabilities of a Consolidated Collaterali zed Financing Entity (ASU 2014-13) In August of 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-13, “Consolidation (Topic 810)-Measuring the Financial Assets and the Financial Liabilities of a Consolidated Collateralized Financing Entity.” ASU 2014-13 applies to a consoli dated collateralized financing entity defined as a consolidated VIE that holds financial assets and issues beneficial interests in those financial assets that are classified as financial liabilities. The Company may elect to measure the financial assets an d the financial liabilities of a consolidated collateralized financing entity using a measurement alternative provided in ASU 2014-13. The measurement alternative requires both the financial assets and the financial liabilities of the consolidated collater alized financing entity to be measured using the more observable of the fair value of the financial assets and the fair value of the financial liabilities with the changes in fair value recognized to earnings. Upon adoption, a reporting entity may apply th e measurement alternative to existing consolidated collateralized financing entities. ASU 2014-13 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2016 with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-13 is not expected to materially impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (ASU 2014-15) In August of 2014, the FASB is sued ASU 2014-15, “Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.” ASU 2014-15 requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions or even ts that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide certain disclosures when it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period end ing December 31, 2016 and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter with early adoption permitted. The adoption of ASU 2014-15 is not expected to materially impa ct the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Consolidation (Topic 810) —Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (ASU 2015-02) In February of 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, “Consolidation (Topic 810)—Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis.” ASU 2015-02 amends the accounting guidance for consolidation of legal entities including VIEs. ASU 2015-02 eliminates the specialized consolidation model and guidance for limited partnerships, amends the conditions for evaluating whether a fee paid to a de cision maker or a service provider represents a variable interest in a VIE, amends the related party guidance for the determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE, and requires certain investment funds designed as VIEs, except money market funds, to a pply the amended consolidation guidance. ASU 2015-02 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning January 1, 2016 with early adoption permitted, and is applied on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis. The Company is evaluating the impac t of adopting ASU 2015-02.
