Table 5 reveals that variability of change in net income increases signifi¬cantly from 0.0017 to 0.0024, and variability of change in net income relative to that of cash flow also increases significantly, from 0.7442 to 0.9900. The correlation between accruals and cash flows after adoption, —0.5445, is less negative than before adoption, —0.5726, but insignificantly so. Similarly, as indicated by the SPOS coefficient of —0.0640, the frequency of small positive net income decreases after adoption, although this decrease is insignificant. Regarding timely loss recognition, as indicated by the significant LNEG coefficient of 0.1536, the frequency of large negative net income is significantly higher postadoption than preadoption. The i?2 values from the price regressions and from the good and bad news returns regressions also increase from 28.20%, 2.24%, and 4.64% in the preadoption period to 40.10%, 3.88%, and 6.21% in the postadoption period, respectively, although the increase is significant only for the price regression.
