Second Circuit Affirms Designation of Secured Lender's Vote and Effective Cram Down
January 27, 2011
The Second Circuit's ruling in <i>In re DBSD North America, Inc., </i> is important to would-be acquirers of Chapter 11 debtors.

Exposure Draft Accounting
December 21, 2010
Under the proposed new rules, there are no bright lines. Lessors can classify a lease transaction as either a Performance Obligation or a Partial Derecognition lease. These two products perform very differently on the balance sheet, in a way similar to the different performance of Operating leases and Direct Finance leases.
