Burden Reduction Due to:
Changing Regulations
Short Statement:
The amendments to Rule 1-02(w), Rule 3-05, Rule 3-14, Article 11, and related amendments, among other things, will reduce a registrant’s paperwork burden by: revising the significance tests and thresholds provided in Rule 1-02(w) and Rule 3-05 to improve their application and to assist registrants in making more meaningful significance determinations; revising the scaling requirements to reduce from three to two the maximum number of years of required Rule 3-05 Financial Statements; permitting Rule 3-05 Financial Statements to be prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS-IASB”) in appropriate circumstances, thus permitting registrants to reconcile their financial statements to the basis of accounting they are already using and not requiring additional one-time reconciliations to U.S. GAAP; permitting the omission of Rule 3-05 Financial Statements from certain registration statements and proxy statements once the acquired business is reflected in filed post-acquisition audited financial statements of the registrant for either nine months or a complete fiscal year, depending on the circumstances; and permitting registrants to use pro forma financial information for significance testing under appropriate circumstances, thereby simplifying the application of the rules and more accurately determining the significance of an acquired business. The amendments related to Rule 3-14, among other things, will align the requirements under Rules 3-05 and 3-14 where appropriate; clarify the determination of significance and the definition of “real estate operation” under Rule 3-14; establish an explicit requirement for interim income statements; and provide special provisions for blind pool offerings. As a result of these effects, we expect that the impact of the rule amendments will be a reduction in the paperwork burden of affected entities. For purposes of the PRA, we estimate that, for Form S-1, the amendments will result in a reduction of 1,925 internal burden hours and a reduction in the cost burden of $2,310,000 for the services of outside professionals.
