Business Combinations

        In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 141(revised), Business Combinations (ASC 805-10/SFAS 141(R)), which is designed to improve the relevance, representational faithfulness, and comparability of the information that a reporting entity provides in its financial reports about a business combination and its effects. The Statement retains the fundamental requirements that the acquisition method of accounting (which was called the purchase method) be used for all business combinations and for an acquirer to be identified for each business combination. The Statement also retains the guidance for identifying and recognizing intangible assets separately from goodwill. The most significant changes are: (1) acquisition costs and restructuring costs will now be expensed; (2) stock consideration will be measured based on the quoted market price as of the acquisition date instead of the date the deal is announced; and (3) the acquirer will record a 100% step-up to fair value for all assets and liabilities, including the noncontrolling interest portion, and goodwill is recorded as if a 100% interest was acquired.

        Citigroup adopted ASC 805-10 (SFAS 141(R)) on January 1, 2009, and the standard is applied prospectively.
