      incurred a net loss for the years ended 2012 and 2011, and

      had a shareholders&amp;#8217; deficit as of June 30, 2013 and

      December 31, 2012.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;To improve Kodak&amp;#8217;s

      performance and address competitive challenges, Kodak has

      developed a strategic plan for the ongoing operation of the

      business.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;Successful implementation of

      Kodak&amp;#8217;s plan, however, is subject to numerous risks and

      uncertainties.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;In addition, the competitive

      industry conditions under which Kodak operates have

      negatively impacted its financial position, results of

      operations and cash flows and may continue to do so in the

      future.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;These factors raise substantial doubt

      satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of

      business.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;Kodak&amp;#8217;s ability to continue as a

      debtor-in-possession credit agreements, the Bankruptcy

      Court&amp;#8217;s approval of Kodak&amp;#8217;s plan of

      implement the plan, among other factors.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;As a

      result of the Bankruptcy Filing, the realization of assets

      indefinite-lived intangible asset might be impaired as a

      basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the

      controlling financial interest in an entity that is

      in-substance real estate as a result of a default on the

      2011-08 amends the impairment test for Goodwill by allowing

      companies to first assess qualitative factors to determine if

      it is more likely than not that Goodwill might be impaired

      and whether it is necessary to perform the current two-step

      goodwill impairment test.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;The changes to the ASC

      Other comprehensive income either in a single continuous

      statement of Comprehensive income or in two separate but

      consecutive statements.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;The changes to the ASC as

      Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax

      Credit Carryforward Exists&amp;#8221;.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;The ASU

      provides that a liability related to an unrecognized tax

      benefit would be offset against a deferred tax asset for a

      net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax

      credit carryforward if such settlement is required or

      expected in the event the uncertain tax position is

      disallowed. In that case, the liability associated with the

      unrecognized tax benefit is presented in the financial

      statements as a reduction to the related deferred tax asset

      for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or

      a tax credit carryforward.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;In situations in which

      a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss or a

      tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting

      date under the tax law of the jurisdiction or the tax law of

      the jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not

      intend to use, the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the

      unrecognized tax benefit will be presented in the financial

      statements as a liability and will not be combined with

      deferred tax assets.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;The guidance is effective

      prospectively for fiscal years and interim periods within

      those years beginning after December 15, 2013 (January 1,

      2014 for Kodak) and Kodak is currently evaluating the

      Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign

      financial interest in a subsidiary or group of assets within

      a consolidated foreign entity and the sale or transfer
