The new standards also provide guidance on accounting for changes in the parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary and establishes standards of accounting for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary due to the loss of control. Reporting entities must now present certain noncontrolling interests as a component of equity and present net income and consolidated comprehensive income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest separately in the consolidated financial statements. These new standards are required to be applied prospectively, except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which must be applied retrospectively for all periods presented. As a result of our adoption of these standards, “Net income” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations now includes net income attributable to noncontrolling interest as compared to the previous presentation, where net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest was deducted in the determination of net income. Additionally, the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows are now presented using net income as calculated pursuant to the new accounting requirements.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">On January 1, 2009 we adopted the revisions made by the SEC to accounting standards regarding the financial statement classification and measurement of equity securities that are subject to mandatory redemption requirements or whose redemption is outside the control of the issuer. The revisions to the accounting guidance require that redeemable noncontrolling interests, such as Globo Comunicacoes e Participacoes S.A.’s, or Globo’s, redeemable noncontrolling interest in Sky Brazil described in Note 6 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements that are redeemable at the option of the holder be recorded outside of permanent equity at fair value, and the redeemable noncontrolling interests be adjusted to their fair value at each balance sheet date. Adjustments to the carrying amount of a redeemable noncontrolling interest are recorded to retained earnings (or additional paid-in-capital in the absence of retained earnings). As a result of the adoption of this accounting requirement, we have reported Globo’s redeemable noncontrolling interest in Sky Brazil in “Redeemable noncontrolling interest” at fair value in the Consolidated Balance for each period presented. See Note 9 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">The following tables present the changes to previously reported amounts in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as a result of the adoption of the revised guidance:</p> <table class="MsoNormalTable" style="font-size: 11pt;

Under the new standard, certain contingent assets and liabilities, as well as contingent consideration, are also required to be recognized at fair value on the date of acquisition and acquisition-related transaction and restructuring costs will be expensed. Additionally, disclosures are required describing the nature and financial effect of the business combination and the standard also changes the accounting for certain income tax assets recorded in purchase accounting. The adoption of the new accounting requirements as required, on January 1, 2009, changed the way we account for adjustments to deferred tax asset valuation allowances recorded in purchase accounting for prior business combinations so that adjustments to these deferred tax asset valuation allowances will no longer be recorded to goodwill but rather adjustments will be recorded in “Income tax expense” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, the adoption of the new accounting guidance changed the accounting for all business combinations we consummate after January 1, 2009.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 12pt 0in; text-indent: 0.5in; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"><b>Sky Brazil Functional Currency</b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; text-indent: 0.5in; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Based on cumulatively significant changes in economic facts and circumstances, we have determined that the local Brazilian currency should be the functional currency of Sky Brazil for purposes of financial statement translation beginning in the second quarter of 2009. As a result of this change in functional currency, on April 1, 2009 we recorded a $165 million decrease to previously reported values for nonmonetary assets and a $53 million increase in our related deferred income tax assets and liabilities, and an offsetting $112 million decrease to the “Cumulative translation adjustment”, a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” in stockholders’ equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In addition, as a result of this change in functional currency, changes in exchange rates will result in gains or losses, which will be recorded in “Other, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the revaluation of U.S. dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities, such as cash deposits, notes payable and capital lease obligations held by Sky Brazil. During the third quarter of 2009, we recorded a net foreign currency transaction gain of $19 million in “Other, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations related to U.S. dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities held by Sky Brazil. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded a net foreign currency transaction gain of $57 million in “Other, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations related to U.S. dollar denominated monetary assets and liabilities held by Sky Brazil.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"><b><font class="_mt"> <i>New Accounting Standards</i></font></b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"><b><i><font class="_mt"> </font></i></b> In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued revisions to consolidation accounting standards for variable interest entities, or VIEs. The new standard replaces the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which enterprise, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity. <font class="_mt"> Instead, the new approach is qualitative and focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s performance and (1) <font class="_mt"> the obligation to absorb the losses of an entity or (2) the right to receive benefits from the entity. As a result of the changed requirements, it is possible that an entity’s previous assessment of a VIE will change, and the standard now requires ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. Disclosure requirements under the new standard have been enhanced, and now include disclosure of the method the entity used to determine whether they are the primary beneficiary of the VIE. We do not expect the adoption of these changes to have an effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial position, when adopted, as required, on January 1, 2010.</font></font></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"><b> </b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"><b> </b></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="font-size: 10pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"><i><font class="_mt"> </font></i> In September 2009, the FASB approved a revised standard for revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables. Under the revised standard, the criteria for determining whether a deliverable should be considered a separate unit of accounting has changed to remove a limitation for separation to only items with objective and reliable evidence of fair value. Instead, the revised standard allows entities to use the “best estimate of selling price” in addition to third-party evidence or actual selling prices for determining the fair value of a deliverable. The standard also includes additional disclosure requirements for revenue arrangements for multiple deliverables.<font class="_mt"> We currently do not expect the adoption of the revised standard to have an effect on our consolidated results of operations and financial position, when adopted, as required, on January 1, 2011.</font></p> <!--EndFragment--><!-- body --></div> </div> <!-- body --></div> </div> <!-- body --></div> </div> <!-- body --></div> </div> <!-- body --></div> </div> <!-- body --></div> </div> <!-- body --></div> </div> <!-- body --></div> </div><!-- body --></div></div> </div>
