麻豆最新出品

(1)听听听Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all the accounts of 麻豆最新出品 and its controlled subsidiaries (formerly named 麻豆最新出品 Spinco,听Inc.) ("麻豆最新出品," the "Company," "we," "us," or "our" unless the context otherwise requires). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

麻豆最新出品, through its ownership of interests in subsidiaries and other companies, is primarily engaged in the media, communications and entertainment industries globally. The significant subsidiaries include SIRIUS XM Holdings Inc. ("SIRIUS XM"), Delta Topco Limited (the parent company of Formula 1) (鈥淒elta Topco鈥�) and Braves Holdings, LLC ("Braves Holdings"). Our most significant investment accounted for under the equity method is Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. ("Live Nation").听

The accompanying (a) condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and (b) the interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial information and the instructions to Form听10-Q and Article听10 of Regulation听S-X as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such periods have been included. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Additionally, certain prior period amounts have been reclassified for comparability with current period presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in 麻豆最新出品's Annual Report on Form听10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company considers (i)听fair value measurement of non-financial instruments, (ii)听accounting for income taxes, (iii)听assessments of other-than-temporary declines in fair value of its investments and (iv)听the determination of the useful life of SIRIUS XM鈥檚 broadcast/transmission system to be its most significant estimates.

麻豆最新出品 holds investments that are accounted for using the equity method. 麻豆最新出品 does not control the decision making process or business management practices of these affiliates. Accordingly, 麻豆最新出品 relies on management of these affiliates to provide it with accurate financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP that the Company uses in the application of the equity method. In addition, 麻豆最新出品 relies on audit reports that are provided by the affiliates' independent auditors on the financial statements of such affiliates. The Company is not aware, however, of any errors in or possible misstatements of the financial information provided by its equity affiliates that would have a material effect on 麻豆最新出品's condensed consolidated financial statements.

(鈥淭ripCo鈥�), 麻豆最新出品 Broadband Corporation (鈥溌槎棺钚鲁銎� Broadband鈥�), CommerceHub, Inc. (鈥淐ommerceHub鈥�) and 麻豆最新出品 Expedia Holdings (鈥淓xpedia Holdings鈥�), all of which are separate publicly traded companies, in order to govern relationships between the companies. None of these entities has any stock ownership, beneficial or otherwise, in any of the others (except that 麻豆最新出品 Interactive owns shares of 麻豆最新出品 Broadband鈥檚 Series C non-voting common stock). These agreements include Reorganization Agreements (in the case of Starz and 麻豆最新出品 Broadband only), Services Agreements (which, in Starz鈥檚 case, terminated in April 2017), Facilities Sharing Agreements (excluding Starz and CommerceHub) and Tax Sharing Agreements (in the case of Starz and 麻豆最新出品 Broadband only).

The Reorganization Agreements provide for, among other things, provisions governing the relationships between 麻豆最新出品 and each of 麻豆最新出品 Interactive, Starz and 麻豆最新出品 Broadband, respectively, including certain cross-indemnities. Pursuant to the Services Agreements, 麻豆最新出品 provides 麻豆最新出品 Interactive, TripCo, 麻豆最新出品 Broadband, CommerceHub and Expedia Holdings with general and administrative services including legal, tax, accounting, treasury and investor relations support. 麻豆最新出品 Interactive, TripCo, 麻豆最新出品 Broadband, CommerceHub and Expedia Holdings reimburse 麻豆最新出品 for direct, out-of-pocket expenses incurred by 麻豆最新出品 in providing these services and, in the case of 麻豆最新出品 Interactive, 麻豆最新出品 Interactive's allocable portion of costs associated with any shared services or personnel based on an estimated percentage of time spent providing services to 麻豆最新出品 Interactive, while TripCo, 麻豆最新出品 Broadband, CommerceHub and Expedia Holdings pay an annual fee for the provision of these services. Under the Facilities Sharing Agreements, 麻豆最新出品 shares office space and related amenities at its corporate headquarters with 麻豆最新出品 Interactive, TripCo, 麻豆最新出品 Broadband and Expedia Holdings. Under these various agreements approximately $6 million and $5 million of these allocated expenses were reimbursed to 麻豆最新出品 during the three months ended听September 30, 2017 and 2016, and $17 million and $16 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Seasonality

Formula 1 recognizes the majority of its revenue and expenses in connection with World Championship race events (鈥淓vents鈥�) that take place in different countries around the world throughout the year. The Events generally take place between March and November each year. As a result, the revenue and expenses recognized by Formula 1 are generally lower during the first quarter as compared to the rest of the quarters throughout the year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued new accounting guidance on revenue from contracts with customers.听听The new guidance requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This new guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In March 2016, the FASB issued additional guidance which clarifies principal versus agent considerations, and in April 2016, the FASB issued further guidance which clarifies the identification of performance obligations and the implementation guidance for licensing. The updated guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective and permits the use of either a full retrospective or modified retrospective transition method. We expect to adopt this guidance under the modified retrospective transition method on January 1, 2018.

SIRIUS XM has completed its evaluation of the impact of the new guidance on its primary revenue streams and expects the most significant impact to the classification of Revenue share and certain subsidy payments made to automakers associated with a paid promotional subscription.听 Under the new standard, the payments associated with a paid promotional subscription will be treated as a reduction to the transaction price rather than as an expense as classified under Accounting Standards Codification 605.听 SIRIUS XM expects this change to reduce subscriber revenue by less than 3% upon adoption, along with a corresponding reduction to revenue share and royalties and subscriber acquisition costs. As a result, SIRIUS XM does not expect this change to have an impact to its net earnings.听 Additionally, within the condensed consolidated balance sheets, upon adoption, the amount of revenue share and certain subsidy payments made to automakers associated with a paid promotional subscription will be classified as a liability separate from deferred revenue.

Formula 1 and Braves Holdings have made significant progress toward completing their evaluation of the potential impact from adopting the new guidance on their primary revenue streams. As a result of the progress made to date, Formula 1 and Braves Holdings are not expecting a material impact on the primary revenue streams upon adoption of the new guidance, but both entities continue to evaluate the impact of the adoption of this new guidance on their financial statements, policies, controls and procedures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on lease accounting. This guidance requires a company to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities arising from operating leases in the statement of financial position. Additionally, the criteria for classifying a lease as a finance lease versus an operating lease are substantially the same as the previous guidance. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. We plan to adopt this guidance on January 1, 2019. Companies are required to use a modified retrospective approach to adopt this guidance.听听The Company is currently working with its consolidated subsidiaries to evaluate the impact of the adoption of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements, including identifying the population of leases, evaluating technology solutions and collecting lease data.

In January 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance that is intended to improve the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The new guidance requires equity investments with readily determinable fair values (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation) to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income and simplifies the impairment assessment of equity investments without readily determinable fair values by requiring a qualitative assessment to identify impairment. The new standard is effective for the Company for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company has not yet determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In October 2016, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on income tax accounting associated with intra-entity transfers of assets other than inventory. This accounting update, which is part of the FASB's simplification initiative, is intended to reduce diversity in practice and the complexity of tax accounting, particularly for those transfers involving intellectual property. This new guidance requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption, an entity may apply the new guidance only on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2017, the FASB issued new accounting guidance to simplify the measurement of goodwill impairment. Under the new guidance, an entity will no longer perform a hypothetical purchase price allocation to measure goodwill impairment. Instead, impairment will be measured using the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the reporting unit. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for goodwill impairment tests with measurement dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statements and related disclosures. The Company does not expect the adoption will have a material effect on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
