1 CHAPTER 20 CORPORATIONS IN FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS Q20-1 The nonjudicial actions available to a financially distressed company are debt restructuring arrangements and creditor's committee management. The judicial actions available are corporate liquidation (Chapter 7) and corporate reorgani ation (Chapter 11). Q20-2 The major difference bet!een a Chapter 7 action and a Chapter 11 action is that the debtor continues as a business after a Chapter 11 reorgani ation !hereas the business does not survive a Chapter 7 liquidation. Q20-3 "nder t!o circumstances an involuntary petition for relief may be filed. The first circumstance is that the debtor is generally not paying debts as they become due. The second circumstance is that !ithin the last 1#$ days a custodian has been appointed by other creditors% by the debtor% or by some other agency to ta&e possession of the debtor's assets. 'f more than 1# creditors e(ist% then three or more creditors must combine to file the petition. These three or more creditors must have aggregate unsecured claims of at least )*%$$$. Q20-4 The follo!ing items are usually included in the +lan of ,eorgani ation filed as part of a Chapter 11 reorgani ation.ll major actions to be ta&en during the reorgani ation(1) /iscontinuances of unprofitable operations (#) ,estructuring of debt !ith specific creditors (0) ,evaluation of assets and liabilities (1) Changes in the par value of outstanding stoc&% or realignment of stoc&holders' equity !ith ne!ly issued shares of voting common stoc&. Q20-5 The account ,eorgani ation 2alue in 3(cess of the .mount .ssigned to 'dentifiable .ssets is established during a Chapter 11 fresh start accounting to record the e(cess of the reorgani ation value that is not assigned to specific assets. The account is an intangible asset and is accounted for in accordance !ith FASB 142. Q20-6 . company in Chapter 11 reorgani ation qualifies for fresh start accounting if both of the follo!ing occur1. The reorgani ation value of the entity's assets of the emerging entity immediately before the date of confirmation is less than the total of all post4petition liabilities and allo!ed claims5 and #. 6olders of e(isting voting shares immediately before confirmation receive less than *$7 of the voting shares of the emerging entity. Companies using fresh start accounting revalue their assets to fair values% using the procedures in FASB 141. .n account called ,eorgani ation 2alue in 3(cess of the .mount .ssigned to 'dentifiable .ssets is used to record any e(cess in reorgani ation value not assigned to specific assets.

Q20-7 The financial statements that must be filed by a company during a Chapter 11 reorgani ation include a complete set of audited financial statements. SOP 90-7 established specific guidelines for these statements% noting that amounts associated !ith reorgani ation should be reported separately. Q20- The rights of creditors !ith priority in a Chapter 7 liquidation are to receive any assets available to unsecured creditors after the secured creditors have been satisfied. Q20-9 The statement of affairs is the basic accounting report made at the beginning of the liquidation process to present the e(pected reali able amounts from disposal of the assets% the order of creditors' claims% and the e(pected amount unsecured creditors !ill receive as a result of the liquidation. 'n addition% the statement of affairs presents the boo& values of the debtor company's balance sheet accounts and the estimated deficiency to the general unsecured creditors. .s a final point% the statement of affairs is not a going concern report. Q20-10! . trustee !ho ta&es title to the debtor's assets in a liquidation must ma&e a periodic financial report to the ban&ruptcy court reporting on the progress of the liquidation and on the fiduciary relationship held. 8hen the trustee accepts the assets% a ne! set of boo&s is opened for the debtor and a ne! account is created to recogni e the debtor's interest in the net assets accepted by the trustee. . statement of reali ation and liquidation is prepared on a monthly basis for the ban&ruptcy court sho!ing the results of the trustee's fiduciary actions9 beginning at the point the trustee accepts the debtor's assets. Q20-11! :ales of assets are reported in the statement of reali ation and liquidation as assets reali ed in the assets section of the statement.

SOLUTIONS TO CASES C20-1 C"#$%&'"() A*&#"+,&%-#( The options to the creditors are (1) form a creditors' committee% (#) a Chapter 11 reorgani ation% and (0) a Chapter 7 liquidation. The eventual decision must rest upon the creditors' assessment of the viability of the rehabilitation of the debtor versus the liquidation values of the debtor's assets. ;ost creditors do not !ant to see the liquidation of a debtor because% as creditors% they are in the business of loaning monies% not trying to manage a business or attempting to obtain as much of a liquidation dividend as possible in a liquidation. ;ost creditors !ill !or& !ith the debtor's management as long as possible. :ecured creditors have greater protection of their receivables than do unsecured creditors. 6o!ever% even most secured creditors prefer to see a debtor company be rehabilitated after a time of financial difficulty rather than see the debtor liquidated. The timing of the cash flo!s is some!hat dependent on the amount of reduction in debt the creditors are !illing to absorb. 'f the creditors are !illing to !or& !ith the debtor% the creditors may eventually reali e a greater percentage of their debt% but it usually ta&es a longer time to receive the payments from the debtor. The creditors' committee is a nonjudicial action that provides for fle(ibility to both the creditors and the debtor. The creditors' committee typically !or&s !ith the debtor company to enact a plan of settlement of the debtor's indebtedness. 'n some cases% the creditors may assume management control of the company% but most creditors are reluctant to do this because of the added ris& of legal action if the company does enter ban&ruptcy. Creditors may eventually receive a substantial part% or possibly all% of their receivables as the debtor is able to <!or& do!n< its debt over time. Chapter 11 reorgani ation offers the creditors a chance to continue having a customer once the customer solves its immediate financial problems. . reorgani ation is an acceptable option if the creditors feel the company !ould have the basic operating and financial foundations after the reorgani ation to become a going concern. Creditors often accept reduced amounts as settlements of their receivables% or !ill modify the terms of e(isting debt as part of the reorgani ation agreement. Chapter 7 liquidations are the final step. The creditors must go through the judicial process that may ta&e a long time to complete. =iquidation should be used only if no other alternative is viable. Creditors often receive a smaller portion of their receivables because of the forced liquidation of the assets and the e(tensive legal and administrative costs involved in a liquidation.
