WHAT IS A CAPITAL ASSET?
GASB Statement No. 34
• Capital assets are tangible or intangible assets (land, improvements to land, easements, buildings, building improvements, vehicles, machinery, equipment, works of art and historical treasures and infrastructure) that are used in operations and that have initial useful lives extending beyond a single reporting period
• Assets acquired for the purpose of sale or investment do not qualify as capital assets because they are not used in operations
• Should only be reported once proper ownership has been determined

WHAT IS A CAPITAL ASSET?
Land improvements consist of betterments, other than buildings, that ready land for its intended use. Examples include:
• Site improvements
Excavation
Fill
Grading
Utility installation
• Removal, relocation, or reconstruction of property of others
Railroads and telephone and power lines
• Retaining walls
• Parking lots
• Fencing
• Landscaping

WHAT IS A CAPITAL ASSET?
Library books considered to have a useful life of greater than one year are capital assets and should be depreciated
• Group or composite depreciation methods may be appropriate due to the large volume of library collections and relatively low dollar value of each item (generally)
• Situations do exist where library books may be considered works of art or historical treasures and they should be reported accordingly

DETERMINE OWNERSHIP Generally, holding title to an asset equates to
ownership, and the entity that holds title to an asset should report the asset in its financial statements
Facts and circumstances of the situation should be considered
• There may be instances in which title is held by one entity, yet some rights of ownership are held by another entity. For example, the lessee reports assets under a capital lease although the lessor holds title.

EXPENSE OR CAPITALIZE?
Increased capacity?
• Adding square footage, adding new lanes to existing road
Extended useful life?
• Beyond original useful life expectation
Purchase price in relation to capitalization policy

EXPENSE
Repair and maintenance expense
• Outlays that allow assets to continue to be used during their originally established useful life Building
– Paint, roof replacement, upgrade of electrical/HVAC
Roads
– Re-stripe, re-surface considered repair
– Street overlay likely extends the service life of a roadway and therefore would be capitalized

CAPITALIZE
Only expenditures that exceed a predetermined amount (capitalization threshold) are normally capitalized
Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommends a minimum capitalization threshold of $5,000
• Have seen organizations increase threshold; still needs to remain at $5,000 for federally funded assets
• Effective December 26, 2014, under the OMNI Circular, a computing device is a supply if the acquisition cost is less than the lesser of the capitalization level of the entity or $5,000
Typically involves considerable change in structure as well as useful life of asset

CAPITALIZE
In addition to the cost to purchase or construct the asset
• Capitalize interest (discussed later), in certain situations, and ancillary charges necessary to place the asset into its intended location and condition for use
• Ancillary charges include costs that are directly attributable to asset acquisition, such as freight and transportation charges, site preparation costs and professional fees

CAPITALIZATION POLICIES
GASB Statement No. 34 does not specify a minimum level for capitalization
Consider separate thresholds for different types of assets
• Assets whose individual acquisition costs are less than the threshold for an individual asset (computers, library books, classroom furniture)
Different agencies within an entity can have distinct capitalization thresholds
10
![Page 12: PLANNING FOR CAPITAL ASSETS ACCOUNTING AND IMPAIRMENT Assets.pdf · PLANNING FOR CAPITAL ASSETS – ACCOUNTING AND IMPAIRMENT ... • Group or composite depreciation methods may be](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050903/5b1574357f8b9a45448c4724/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
DEPRECIATION
Depreciation expense should occur over the estimated useful life of asset
Depreciation of individual assets is not required; can be calculated based on:
• Asset class
• Network of assets
11
![Page 13: PLANNING FOR CAPITAL ASSETS ACCOUNTING AND IMPAIRMENT Assets.pdf · PLANNING FOR CAPITAL ASSETS – ACCOUNTING AND IMPAIRMENT ... • Group or composite depreciation methods may be](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050903/5b1574357f8b9a45448c4724/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
DEPRECIATION
Depreciation on land improvements
• Permanent benefit – non depreciable Grading
Fill dirt
Certain landscaping
• Considered part of structure or deteriorates – depreciate Parking lots
Fencing
Retaining walls

MODIFIED APPROACH
Infrastructure assets that are part of a network or subsystem of a network are not required to be depreciated if the modified approach is used Requirements for use are:
• Government manages the eligible infrastructure assets using an asset management system having certain specified characteristics
• Government documents that the eligible infrastructure assets are being preserved approximately at (or above) a condition level established and disclosed by the government

SENSITIVE ASSETS
Inexpensive but important/sensitive assets such as:
• Police, fire, public works Radios, breathing apparatus, computers, communication devices
• Don’t overlook them due to asset value
• Assets purchased with federal funds require specific inventory management procedures

USEFUL LIVES
Should be based on entity’s experience as well as plans for the use of asset
Useful life is an estimate that can change
• Review in later period, after asset has been placed in service
• Components of an asset may have different useful lives
• A change in estimated lives is a change in accounting estimate under GASB 62 and is reported prospectively in accordance with paragraphs 83-85 of GASB 62
Review useful lives assigned within the system to ensure they correspond with policy
15

INVENTORY
Annual or semiannual inventory should be performed to ensure accurate reporting of capital assets
• Required under C.R.S. 29-1-506
Data regarding retirements may be difficult to acquire
• Departments may be unwilling or unable to determine retirements
• Can lead to overstated balances if proper attention is not applied
16
![Page 18: PLANNING FOR CAPITAL ASSETS ACCOUNTING AND IMPAIRMENT Assets.pdf · PLANNING FOR CAPITAL ASSETS – ACCOUNTING AND IMPAIRMENT ... • Group or composite depreciation methods may be](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050903/5b1574357f8b9a45448c4724/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
CAPITAL ASSETS ASSOCIATED WITH MORE THAN ONE GOVERNMENT
Ownership is the decisive factor
Government that has ultimate control over its “use and enjoyment” should report the capital asset in its financial statements
• Legal title is typically sufficient
If entity that holds title does not exercise ultimate control – entity who exercises ultimate control reports the asset
17
![Page 19: PLANNING FOR CAPITAL ASSETS ACCOUNTING AND IMPAIRMENT Assets.pdf · PLANNING FOR CAPITAL ASSETS – ACCOUNTING AND IMPAIRMENT ... • Group or composite depreciation methods may be](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050903/5b1574357f8b9a45448c4724/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What if ownership cannot be determined?
• Which entity is responsible for managing the asset? The entity responsible for maintaining the asset would be
responsible for reporting capital assets

STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS
Report under “Noncash Investing, Capital, and Financing Activities” the following: • Capital assets acquired by assuming directly related liabilities (e.g.
purchasing a building by incurring a mortgage or purchasing on credit and taking delivery of a vehicle in the current period and paying for it in subsequent periods) Note – accounts payable at year-end need to be analyzed for payables related to capital asset acquisitions and reported here
• Obtaining a capital asset by entering into a capital lease
• Receiving donated capital assets
• Transfers of capital assets between funds

INTANGIBLE ASSETS – GASB 51
Lack of physical substance
Nonfinancial nature
• Represents neither a claim nor right to assets in monetary form
Initial useful life extending beyond a single reporting period
If assets are acquired or created primarily for the purpose of obtaining income or completing a project, they do not meet criteria of intangible assets
20

INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Intangible must be identifiable
• Asset is capable of being separated or divided from the government and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged either individually or together with a related contract, asset or liability
• Asset arises from contractual or other legal rights, regardless of whether those rights are transferrable or separable from entity or from other rights or obligations
21

INTERNALLY GENERATED
Created or produced by the government or entity contracted by the government
Capitalize outlays incurred related to development of intangible asset if there is:
• Specific objective of project and nature of service capacity that is expected to be provided by intangible asset
• Demonstration that asset will provide its expected service capacity
• Demonstration of intention, ability and presence of effort to complete development of intangible asset

AMORTIZATION OVER USEFUL LIFE
Intangible asset that arises from contractual or other legal rights should be amortized over the service capacity
Renewal periods may be considered if the government intends and will be able to achieve renewal

DONATED CAPITAL ASSETS
Should be reported at estimated fair value at the time of acquisition
Estimated fair value may be calculated from:
• Manufacturers’ catalogs or price quotes in periodicals
• Recent sales of comparable assets

CAPITALIZATION OF INTEREST
![Page 29: PLANNING FOR CAPITAL ASSETS ACCOUNTING AND IMPAIRMENT Assets.pdf · PLANNING FOR CAPITAL ASSETS – ACCOUNTING AND IMPAIRMENT ... • Group or composite depreciation methods may be](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050903/5b1574357f8b9a45448c4724/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
CAPITALIZABLE INTEREST – GASB 62
In accordance with GASB 62, interest capitalization is limited to capital assets reported in enterprise funds (GASB 37 eliminated capitalization of construction-period interest requirement on capital assets used in governmental activities)
Capitalize the amount of interest that could have been avoided had the asset not been acquired — thus a government that has debt, but no debt directly related to construction projects, still capitalizes interest, if applicable
The total amount of interest cost capitalized in an accounting period should not exceed the total of interest cost incurred by the government in that period

ASSETS QUALIFYING FOR INTEREST CAPITALIZATION
Assets that are constructed or otherwise produced for a government’s own use
Assets intended for sale or lease that are constructed or otherwise produced as discrete projects
• Real estate developments
Donated assets
Investments accounted for by the equity method

NONQUALIFYING ASSETS
Inventory
Assets that are in use or ready for intended use
Assets not undergoing the activities necessary to get them ready for use
Assets not included in financial statements
Assets acquired with gifts and grants that are restricted by donor or grantor

CAPITALIZATION PERIOD
Capitalization period should begin when following conditions are present:
• Outlays for asset have been made
• Activities necessary to get the asset ready for its intended use are in progress
• Interest cost is being incurred
31

AMOUNT OF INTEREST TO CAPITALIZE
Tax-exempt debt
Amount of interest capitalized should include interest from the date of borrowing until assets are ready for their intended use
33
Interest expense on tax-exempt debt
less Interest revenue on reinvested proceeds

CAPITALIZED INTEREST
Netting of expense and related interest revenue applies to tax-exempt debt that is externally restricted to finance specific qualifying assets
If using a grant to construct assets, interest is not capitalized if the grant is externally restricted to the acquisition of specified assets
Capitalized interest is not removed from the cost of capital assets transferred from an enterprise fund to be used in governmental activities

CAPITALIZED INTEREST
Interest payments that are capitalized should be reported as cash payments to lenders and other creditors under capital and related financing activities as an outflow for interest and not as a capital asset acquisition on the statement of cash flows

CAPITAL INTEREST EXAMPLE – TAX-EXEMPT DEBT
Govt issues tax-exempt debt, externally restricted to construction of specified qualifying asset
Invest proceeds in interest paying account
Earnings from proceeds: $250,000, interest incurred $750,000
As tax-exempt debt, must net interest revenue and interest expense to calculate capitalized interest

CAPITALIZED INTEREST EXAMPLE
If debt not tax-exempt or isn’t externally restricted to specified qualifying assets:
• Use formula:
• Weighted average borrowing rate computed using all outstanding interest bearing liabilities in enterprise funds
• NO netting of interest revenue and expense
39
Average cumulative expenditures since inception
X Borrowing rate (weighted average or specific to borrowing)
= Capitalized Interest

MULTIPLE FUNDING SOURCES
Use combination of methods when multiple funding sources
• Formula in example #1 for tax-exempt debt externally restricted, specified for qualifying assets
• Formula in example #2: Taxable debt
Tax-exempt debt not meeting above criteria
Available resources
“Opportunity costs” (debt unrelated to the capital construction)
• No capitalization of interest on portion or project financed from grant proceeds (no netting of revenue)

CAPITALIZED INTEREST
Build America Bonds
• Taxable bonds
• Use formula for non tax-exempt bonds
Note disclosure:
• No capitalized interest: disclose total interest costs incurred and charged to expense during the period
• Capitalized interest: amount of interest incurred and capitalized

IMPAIRMENT OF CAPITAL ASSETS
GASB 42, Accounting and Financial Reporting for Impairment of Capital Assets and for Insurance Recoveries, issued in November 2003, provides guidance to governments for the process of determining impairment of capital assets and the reporting requirements related thereto
Prior to GASB 42, GASB had not previously established requirements for asset impairments
GASB concluded that a capital asset is considered impaired when its service utility has declined significantly and unexpectedly
62
![Page 64: PLANNING FOR CAPITAL ASSETS ACCOUNTING AND IMPAIRMENT Assets.pdf · PLANNING FOR CAPITAL ASSETS – ACCOUNTING AND IMPAIRMENT ... • Group or composite depreciation methods may be](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050903/5b1574357f8b9a45448c4724/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Definition – A significant, unexpected decline in the service utility of a capital asset. Service utility of a capital asset is the usable capacity that, at acquisition, was expected to be used to provide service, as distinguished from the level of utilization, which is the portion of the usable capacity currently being used. Examples of impairment include:
• Building with mold contamination – physical damage
• Office building damaged by earthquake – physical damage
• Underground storage tanks not meeting current environmental standards – change in legal or environmental factors
• Underutilized piece of medical equipment – technological development or evidence of obsolescence
• School used for storage – change in manner or duration of use

ASSESSMENT OF IMPAIRMENT
Two-step process—Step 1
1) Identifying potential impairments
• Identified through events or changes in circumstances that are prominent and that denote the presence of indicators of impairment
Events or circumstances that may indicate impairment generally are expected to have prompted discussion by the governing board, management or the media – if event is not conspicuous or known to management, then the government is not required to perform additional procedures to identify potential impairments
Indicators of impairment
Evidence of physical damage – e.g. by fire or flood
Enactment or approval of laws or regulations or other changes in environmental factors – e.g. new water quality standards that cannot be met
Technological development or evidence of obsolescence – e.g. newer equipment renders existing equipment obsolete
A change in the manner or expected duration of use of a capital asset – e.g. closure of a school prior to the end of its useful live
Construction stoppage – e.g. due to a lack of funding
A change in demand for the services of a capital asset is not considered a separate indicator of impairment
64
![Page 66: PLANNING FOR CAPITAL ASSETS ACCOUNTING AND IMPAIRMENT Assets.pdf · PLANNING FOR CAPITAL ASSETS – ACCOUNTING AND IMPAIRMENT ... • Group or composite depreciation methods may be](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050903/5b1574357f8b9a45448c4724/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
ASSESSMENT OF IMPAIRMENT
Two-step process – Step 2
2) Test for impairment – if a capital asset is identified under step 1 as potentially being impaired, then the government must determine whether both of the following two factors are present:
i. The magnitude of the decline in service utility is significant – measured by the significance of expenses associated with continued operation and maintenance or costs of restoration in relationship to the current service utility – other than physical damage, if management takes action to address the situation, then deemed significant
ii. The decline in service utility is unexpected – costs associated with restoration or other impairment circumstance is not part of the normal life cycle of a capital asset
65
![Page 67: PLANNING FOR CAPITAL ASSETS ACCOUNTING AND IMPAIRMENT Assets.pdf · PLANNING FOR CAPITAL ASSETS – ACCOUNTING AND IMPAIRMENT ... • Group or composite depreciation methods may be](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050903/5b1574357f8b9a45448c4724/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
MEASUREMENT OF IMPAIRMENT
GASB 42 differentiates between capital assets that will continue to be used by the government and those that won’t
For capital assets that will continue to be used by the government – use one of the following approaches to determine what amount of the historical cost that should be written off:
Restoration cost approach – uses a methodology to determine the estimated costs to restore the utility of the capital asset – typically used for impairment resulting from physical damage
Service units approach – uses a methodology to isolate the historical cost of the service utility of the capital asset that cannot be used due to the impairment event – use for impairments resulting from enactment or approval of laws or regulations or other changes in environmental factors or from technological development or obsolescence
Deflated depreciated replacement cost approach – uses a methodology that replicates the historical cost of the service produced – use for impairments caused by a change in manner or duration of use of the capital asset
66
![Page 68: PLANNING FOR CAPITAL ASSETS ACCOUNTING AND IMPAIRMENT Assets.pdf · PLANNING FOR CAPITAL ASSETS – ACCOUNTING AND IMPAIRMENT ... • Group or composite depreciation methods may be](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050903/5b1574357f8b9a45448c4724/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
MEASUREMENT/REPORTING OF IMPAIRMENT
For capital assets that will no longer be used by the government and construction stoppage – report at the lower of carrying value or fair value – e.g., a hospital closes its operations before the estimated useful life of the building is reached and begins efforts to sell the facility
Unless the impairment is considered temporary, report loss in the statement of activities and statement of revenues, expenses and changes in fund net position(program, operating expense, special item, or extraordinary item) – if program expense, then report as a direct expense of the program that uses the capital asset
If impairment is temporary – don’t write-down the capital asset – typically the impairment is permanent
Do not reverse impairment losses recognized in accordance with this statement in future years even if the events or circumstances causing the impairment have changed

INSURANCE RECOVERIES
In governmental fund financial statements, any insurance recovery is reported as an other financing source or extraordinary item – restoration or replacement cost should be reported separately as an expenditure
In governmental and business-type activities in government-wide financial statements:
• Restoration or replacement costs should be reported as a separate transaction from the impairment loss and associated insurance recovery
• The impairment loss should be reported net of the associated insurance recovery when the recovery and the loss occur in the same year (Note: Calculations may actually result in a gain, depending on the extent of insurance recoveries)
• Insurance recoveries reported in subsequent years should be reported as program revenue, nonoperating revenue or extraordinary item, as appropriate

EXAMPLE 1 – PHYSICAL DAMAGE – BUILDING WITH STRUCTURAL DAMAGE
Office building damaged by earthquake
• Considered infrequent and unusual in nature
• Original cost: $28 million – 30 year life – in service 7 years
• Building closed – structural repairs cost of $3.5 million (all capitalizable under government’s capitalization policy)
• Insurance proceeds of $2.5 million
• Physical damage indicates impairment, magnitude significant
• $3.5 million repair cost significant vs. $0 asset service provided (not in use)
• Replacement cost not available – construction costs increasing 3% annually
• Restoration cost approach to be used
• Impairment loss $2,181,872, netted against insurance recoveries = gain of $318,128
