FASB Staff Position FAS No. 115-2 and FAS 124-2 modifies the requirements for recognizing other-than-temporarily impaired debt securities and significantly changes the existing impairment model for such securities. It also modifies the presentation of other-than-temporary impairment losses and increases the frequency of and expands already required disclosures about other-than-temporary impairment for debt and equity securities. The requirements on recognition apply to debt securities that are classified as available for-sale and held-to-maturity that are subject to existing other-than-temporary impairment guidance. Equity securities are not subject to the Staff Position's requirements on recognition. However, the new presentation and disclosure requirements apply to both debt and equity securities within the scope of FASB Statement No.115 and FASB Staff Positions FAS 115-1 and FAS 124-1.
