Item 8.01. Other Events
As previously disclosed in MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company (“MEHC”) and subsidiaries’ (collectively, the “Company”) Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 (the “Form 10-Q”), the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51,” (“SFAS No. 160”) on January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 160 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, as a result of the retrospective presentation and disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 160, the Company reclassified noncontrolling interests as a separate component of equity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented in the Form 10-Q. Previously, these amounts were reported separately as minority interest and preferred securities of subsidiaries on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The effect on the Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the adoption of SFAS No. 160 is summarized as follows (in millions):
As of December 31, | ||||||||
2008 | 2007 | |||||||
Total shareholders’ equity, as previously reported(1) | $ | 10,207 | $ | 9,326 | ||||
SFAS No. 160 reclassification of noncontrolling interests | 270 | 256 | ||||||
Total equity, as adjusted for the adoption of SFAS No. 160 | $ | 10,477 | $ | 9,582 |
Additionally, the adoption of SFAS No. 160 had the effect of reclassifying net income attributable to noncontrolling interests on the Consolidated Statements of Operations from minority interest and preferred dividends of subsidiaries to a separate financial statement caption. SFAS No. 160 requires that net income be adjusted to include the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, and a separate financial statement caption for net income attributable to MEHC be presented on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The effect on the Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the adoption of SFAS No. 160 is summarized as follows (in millions):
Years Ended December 31, | ||||||||||||
2008 | 2007 | 2006 | ||||||||||
Net income, as previously reported(1) | $ | 1,850 | $ | 1,189 | $ | 916 | ||||||
SFAS No. 160 reclassification of noncontrolling interests | 21 | 30 | 27 | |||||||||
Net income, as adjusted for the adoption of SFAS No. 160 | 1,871 | 1,219 | 943 | |||||||||
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests | 21 | 30 | 27 | |||||||||
Net income attributable to MEHC | $ | 1,850 | $ | 1,189 | $ | 916 |
SFAS No. 160 also required a change to MEHC’s presentation of net income on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to include the portion of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests with a corresponding reduction in other, net operating activities. The change did not impact the Company’s cash flows from operations.
As originally presented in Item 8 – Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of MEHC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. |
