Download as PDF 51153 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 159 / Wednesday, August 18, 2010 / Notices as a result of a change in accounting standards? • Are there any particular asset sale statutes from any particular jurisdictions the application of which is especially likely to be affected by incorporating IFRS into the financial reporting system for U.S. issuers? Which statutes, and why? • To the extent that incorporating IFRS into the financial reporting system for U.S. issuers would affect the application of statutes governing sales of assets, how would the jurisdictions affected (or issuers in such jurisdictions) most likely address such effects? • To what extent would any potential effects of incorporating IFRS into the financial reporting system for U.S. issuers on the application of statutes governing sales of assets be avoided or minimized by State law permitting the board of directors to rely on reasonable valuation methods, rather than financial statements, in determining whether a shareholder vote is required to approve a sale of assets? 16 • To what extent are any potential effects of incorporating IFRS into the financial reporting system for U.S. issuers on the application of statutes governing sales of assets likely to be mitigated or otherwise affected by providing for a transition or phase-in period for compliance with the incorporation of IFRS into the financial reporting system for U.S. issuers? What length of a transition or phase-in period would be necessary to reasonably mitigate the effects? Are there any other means by which such effects can be mitigated or avoided? • Are there any other State statutes the application of which is likely to be affected by incorporating IFRS into the financial reporting system for U.S. issuers? 17 To what extent and in what ways, and why? Persons submitting comments on any of these questions are invited to consider and comment on whether the manner in which IFRS incorporation is implemented would affect the responses to the questions above. All interested parties are invited to submit their views, in writing, on these questions. Dated: August 12, 2010. By the Commission. Elizabeth M. Murphy, Secretary.
