NOTE to SECTION 2010.2
The staff's analysis of whether an acquisition constitutes the acquisition of a business, rather than of assets, focuses primarily on whether the nature of the revenue producing activity previously associated with the acquired assets will remain generally the same after the acquisition. New carrying values of assets, or changes in financing, management, operating procedures, or other aspects of the business are not unusual following a business acquisition. Such changes typically do not eliminate the relevance of historical financial statements. Registrants that have succeeded to a revenue producing activity by merger or acquisition, with at least one of the other factors listed above remaining after the acquisition, are encouraged to obtain concurrence from the staff in advance of a filing if they intend to omit financial statements related to the assets and activity. Registrants may direct requests related to appropriate financial statements of an acquired entity or group of assets to CF-OCA.
