1) Organization and Description of the Business
BrightSphere Investment Group Inc. (“BrightSphere”, “BSIG” or the “Company”), through its subsidiaries, is a global asset management company. The Company provides investment management services globally to predominantly institutional investors. The Company historically held interests in a group of investment management firms (the “Affiliates”) individually headquartered in the United States. The Company completed the disposition of certain Affiliates and currently operates the business through one Affiliate, Acadian Asset Management LLC (“Acadian”), within its Quant & Solutions segment.
The Company’s Affiliate is organized as a limited liability company. Fees for services are largely asset-based and, as a result, the Company’s revenue fluctuates based on the performance of financial markets and investors’ asset flows in and out of the Company’s products. The Company utilizes a profit-sharing model in structuring its compensation and ownership with its Affiliate. Variable compensation is based on the firm’s profitability. BSIG and Affiliate key employees share in profits after variable compensation according to their respective ownership interests. The profit-sharing model results in the alignment of BSIG and Affiliate key employee economic interests, which is critical to the Company’s talent management strategy and long-term growth of the business. The Company currently conducts its operations through the following reportable segment (1)(2) :
• Quant & Solutions —comprised of versatile, often highly-tailored strategies that leverage data and technology in a computational, factor-based investment process across a range of asset classes in developed and emerging markets, including global, non-U.S. and small-cap equities, as well as managed volatility, ESG, multi-asset, equity alternatives, and long/short strategies. This segment is comprised of the Company’s interest in Acadian.
Campbell Global, LLC (“Campbell Global”), Investment Counselors of Maryland (“ICM”) and the corporate head office are included within the Other (1)(2) category.
(1) Prior to March 31, 2021, the Company had an Alternatives reportable segment which was comprised of Landmark Partners, LLC (“Landmark”) and Campbell Global operating segments. On March 30, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell all of the Company’s interests in Landmark. As a result of this transaction, Landmark was reclassified to discontinued operations, and the Alternatives segment no longer constitutes a reportable segment of the Company. The reportable segments for all periods presented have been recast to reflect the reporting of Landmark within discontinued operations and the reclassification of Campbell Global to “Other”. On June 21, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell all of the Company’s interests in Campbell Global. See Note 3, Divestitures, Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations and Note 15, Segments for further discussion.
(2) Prior to June 30, 2021, the Company had a Liquid Alpha reportable segment which was comprised of Thompson, Siegel & Walmsley LLC (“TSW”) and ICM. On February 6, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell all of the Company’s interests in ICM, an equity-accounted Affiliate. On May 9, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell all of the Company’s interests in TSW. As a result of this transaction, TSW has been reclassified to discontinued operations and the Liquid Alpha segment no longer constitutes a reportable segment of the Company. The reportable segments for all periods presented have been recast to reflect the reporting of TSW within discontinued operations. Also, the ICM operating segment has been reclassified to “Other” within the Company’s segment reporting for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. See Note 3, Divestitures, Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations and Note 15, Segments for further discussion.
Prior to 2014, the Company was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Old Mutual plc (“OM plc”), an international long-term savings, protection, and investment group, listed on the London Stock Exchange. On October 15, 2014, the

2) Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (cont.)
Use of estimates
The preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. The three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 were characterized by continued uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic which could impact estimates and assumptions made by management. Actual results could differ from such estimates, and the differences may be material to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Recently adopted accounting standards
In December 2019, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2019-12, ASC 740, “ Income Taxes (ASC 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes ”, which is intended to simplify various aspects related to accounting for income taxes.” ASU 2019-12 removes certain exceptions to the general principles in ASC 740 and also clarifies and amends existing guidance to improve consistent application. The guidance is effective for all public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods therein. The Company adopted the standard on January 1, 2020. The Company has determined that the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
New accounting standards not yet adopted
On March 12, 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or other reference rates expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. This ASU is effective as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company has not adopted any of the optional expedients or exceptions as of September 30, 2021, but will continue to evaluate the possible adoption of any such expedients or exceptions during the effective period to determine the impact on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
The Company has considered all other newly issued accounting guidance that is applicable to the Company’s operations and the preparation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including those that have not yet been adopted. The Company does not believe that any such guidance has or will have a material effect on its Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.

5) Fair Value Measurements (cont.)
The securities that trade in markets that are not considered to be active but are valued based on quoted market prices, dealer quotations or alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs obtained by the Company from independent pricing services are classified as Level II.
The Company obtains prices from independent pricing services that may utilize broker quotes, but generally the independent pricing services will use various other pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data. The Company has not made adjustments to the prices provided.
If the pricing services are only able to (a) obtain a single broker quote or (b) utilize a pricing model, such securities are classified as Level III. If the pricing services are unable to provide prices, the Company attempts to obtain one or more broker quotes directly from a dealer or values such securities at the last bid price obtained. In either case, such securities are classified as Level III. The Company performs due diligence procedures over third party pricing vendors to understand their methodology and controls to support their use in the valuation process to ensure compliance with required accounting disclosures.
(2) Investments in separate accounts of $ 4.2 million at September 30, 2021 consist of approximately 100 % of equity securities and other investments. Investments in separate accounts of $ 21.3 million at December 31, 2020 consist of approximately 11 % of cash equivalents and 89 % of equity securities, fixed income securities, and other investments. The Company values these using the published price of the underlying securities (classified as Level I) or quoted price supported by observable inputs as of the measurement date (classified as Level II).
(3) Investments related to long-term incentive compensation plans of $ 45.6 million and $ 48.0 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, were investments in publicly registered daily redeemable funds (some managed by Affiliates), which the Company has classified as trading securities and valued using the published price as of the measurement dates. Accordingly, the Company has classified these investments as Level I.
(4) The uncategorized amounts of $ 5.0 million and $ 16.2 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, relate to investments in unconsolidated Funds which consist primarily of investments in Funds and are valued using NAV which the Company relies on to determine their fair value as a practical expedient and has therefore not classified these investments in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to amounts presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These unconsolidated Funds consist primarily of real estate investment Funds, UCITS and other investment vehicles. The NAVs that have been provided by investees have been derived from the fair values of the underlying investments as of the measurement dates. UCITS and other investment vehicles are not subject to redemption restrictions.

5) Fair Value Measurements (cont.)
The real estate investment Funds of $ 4.7 million and $ 6.2 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, are subject to longer than quarterly redemption restrictions, and due to their nature, distributions are received only as cash flows are generated from underlying assets over the life of the Funds. The range of time over which the underlying assets are expected to be liquidated by the investees is approximately one year to two years from September 30, 2021. The valuation process for the underlying real estate investments held by the real estate investment Funds begins with each property or loan being valued by the investment teams. The valuations are then reviewed and approved by the valuation committee, which consists of senior members of the portfolio management, acquisitions, and research teams. For certain properties and loans, the valuation process may also include a valuation by independent appraisers. In connection with this process, changes in fair value measurements from period to period are evaluated for reasonableness, considering items such as market rents, capitalization and discount rates, and general economic and market conditions.
Investments in unconsolidated Funds categorized as Level III of $ 0.0 million and $ 2.5 million at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, related to investments in Forestry Funds advised by an Affiliate and are valued by the general partner of those Funds. Determination of estimated fair value involves subjective judgment because the actual fair value can be determined only through negotiation between parties in a sale transaction, and amounts ultimately realized may vary significantly from the fair value presented.
The following table reconciles the opening balances of Level III financial assets to closing balances at the end of the period (in millions):
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
Investments in unconsolidated Funds 2021 2020 2021 2020

6) Variable Interest Entities
The Company, through its Affiliates, sponsors the formation of various entities considered to be VIEs. These VIEs are primarily Funds managed by Affiliates and other partnership interests typically owned entirely by third party investors. Certain Funds may be capitalized with seed capital investments from the Company and may be owned partially by Affiliate key employees and/or individuals that own non-controlling interests in an Affiliate.
The Company’s determination of whether it is the primary beneficiary of a Fund that is a VIE is based in part on an assessment of whether or not the Company and its related parties are exposed to more than an insignificant amount of the risks and rewards of the entity. Typically, the Fund’s investors are entitled to substantially all of the economics of these VIEs with the exception of the management fees and performance fees, if any, earned by the Company or any investment the Company has made into the Funds. The Company generally is not the primary beneficiary of Fund VIEs created to manage assets for clients unless the Company’s ownership interest, including interests of related parties, is substantial.
The following table presents the assets of Funds that are VIEs and consolidated by the Company (in millions):

Consolidated Funds’ assets held for sale (Note 3) — 114.3
Total Assets $ — $ 114.3
In connection with the sale of Landmark on June 2, 2021, the Company transferred its co-investment interests in Landmark funds to Ares for $ 31.5 million. The redemption resulted in the de-consolidation of consolidated Funds that were considered to be VIEs as of June 2, 2021 upon consummation of the sale. The Company reclassified assets of consolidated Funds as “Consolidated Funds’ assets held for sale” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020. See Note 3, Divestitures, Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, in these Notes for additional information. To the extent the Company has consolidated Funds that are not VIEs, the assets and liabilities of those Funds are not included in the table above.
The assets of consolidated VIEs presented in the table above belong to the investors in those Funds, are available for use only by the Fund to which they belong, and are not available for use by the Company to the extent they are held by non-controlling interests.
The Company’s involvement with Funds that are VIEs and not consolidated by the Company is generally limited to that of an investment manager and its investment in the unconsolidated VIE, if any. The Company’s investment in any unconsolidated VIE generally represents an insignificant interest of the Fund’s net assets and assets under management, such that the majority of the VIEs results are attributable to third parties. The Company’s exposure to risk in these entities is generally limited to any capital contribution it has made or is required to make and any earned but uncollected management fees. The Company has not issued any investment performance guarantees to these VIEs or their investors.

(3) The difference between the principal amounts and the carrying values of the senior notes in the table above reflects the unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts.
Revolving Credit Facility
On September 3, 2020, the Company, Royal Bank of Canada, BMO Harris Bank, N.A., Bank of China, New York Branch, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, Barclays Bank PLC, Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A., Bank of America N.A., the Bank of New York Mellon and Citibank, N.A., as an issuing bank and administrative agent (collectively, the “Lenders”), entered into an amendment (the “Amendment") to the Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of August 20, 2019 (the “Original Credit Agreement”, and as amended by the Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”).
On February 23, 2021, the Company, along with the Lenders, entered into an assignment and assumption and amendment agreement (the “Assignment”) to the Amended Credit Agreement. Pursuant to the Assignment, the Amended Credit Agreement was assigned to and assumed by Acadian and the Amended Credit Agreement was amended (the Amended Credit Agreement, as amended by the Assignment, the “Acadian Credit Agreement”) to, among other things, reduce the Lenders’ commitments thereunder to $ 125 million. The Acadian Credit Agreement has a maturity date of August 22, 2022.
Borrowings under the Acadian Credit Agreement bear interest, at Acadian’s option, at either the per annum rate equal to (a) the greatest of (i) the prime rate, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.5 % and (iii) the one month Adjusted LIBOR Rate plus 1.0 %, plus, in each case an additional amount based on its credit rating or (b) the London interbank offered rate for a period, at the Company’s election equal to one, three or six months plus an additional

amount ranging from 1.5 % to 2.0 %, with such additional amount based on Acadian’s Leverage Ratio (as defined below). In addition, Acadian is charged a commitment fee based on the average daily unused portion of the revolving credit facility under the Acadian Credit Agreement at a per annum rate ranging from 0.25 % to 0.375 %, with such amount based on Acadian’s Leverage Ratio.
Under the Acadian Credit Agreement, the ratio of Acadian’s third-party borrowings to Acadian’s trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA, as defined by the Acadian Credit Agreement (the “Leverage Ratio”), cannot exceed 2.5 x and the Acadian interest coverage ratio must not be less than 4.0 x.
8) Leases
The Company has operating leases for corporate offices, data centers, vehicles, and certain equipment. The operating leases have remaining lease terms of 1 year to 12 years, some of which include options to extend the leases for up to 5 years, and some of which include options to terminate the leases within 1 year.
The following table summarizes information about the Company’s operating leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, (in millions):
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
2021 2020 2021 2020
Operating lease cost $ 2.8 $ 3.4 $ 8.6 $ 10.0

Operating cash flows from operating leases $ 2.5 $ 3.0 $ 8.6 $ 9.2
Right of use assets obtained in exchange for new operating lease liabilities — 0.3 1.6 74.8
In determining the incremental borrowing rate, the Company considered the interest rate yield for the specific interest rate environment and the Company’s credit spread at the inception of the lease. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, the weighted average remaining lease term was 11.6 years and 12.3 years, respectively, and the weighted average discount rate was 3.34 % and 3.34 %, respectively.

The Landmark divestiture was consummated on June 2, 2021 and the TSW divestiture was consummated on July 22, 2021. See Note 3, Divestitures, Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, in these Notes for additional information.
10) Commitments and Contingencies
Operational commitments
The Company had unfunded commitments to invest up to approximately $ 1 million in co-investments at a former Affiliate as of September 30, 2021. These commitments will be funded as required through the end of the respective investment periods ranging through fiscal 2022.
During 2021, the Company divested of all of its interests in Landmark and Campbell and funded its commitments as required through the transaction dates. As a result of these dispositions, the Company no longer had any unfunded commitments to Landmark or Campbell as of September 30, 2021. See Note 3, Divestitures, Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations for additional information.
Certain Affiliates operate under regulatory authorities that require that they maintain minimum financial or capital requirements. Management is not aware of any violations of such financial requirements occurring during the period.
Guaranty
The Company entered into a guaranty for an office space security deposit on behalf of an Affiliate in the amount of $ 2.5 million in January 2020. This represents the maximum potential amount of future (undiscounted) payments that the Company could be required to make under the guaranty in the event of default by the guaranteed parties. This guaranty expires in 2022. There are no liabilities recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2021 related to this guaranty.
Litigation
The Company and its Affiliates are subject to claims, legal proceedings, and other contingencies in the ordinary course of their business activities. Each of these matters is subject to various uncertainties, and it is possible that some of these matters may be resolved in a manner unfavorable to the Company or its Affiliates. The Company and its Affiliates establish accruals for matters for which the outcome is probable and can be reasonably estimated. If an insurance claim or other indemnification for a litigation accrual is available to the Company, the associated gain will not be recognized until all contingencies related to the gain have been resolved. As of September 30, 2021, there were no material accruals for claims, legal proceedings, or other contingencies.
Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, such as through agreements to enter into business combinations and divestitures of Affiliates, the Company enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. The Company’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Company that have not yet occurred.

10) Commitments and Contingencies (cont.)
Foreign tax contingency
The Company has clients in non-U.S. jurisdictions which require entities that are conducting certain business activities in such jurisdictions to collect and remit tax assessed on certain fees paid for goods and services provided. The Company does not believe this requirement is applicable based on its limited business activities in these jurisdictions. However, given the fact that uncertainty exists around the requirement, the Company has chosen to evaluate its potential exposure related to non-collection and remittance of these taxes. At September 30, 2021, management of the Company has estimated the potential maximum exposure and concluded that it is not material. No accrual for the potential exposure has been recorded as the probability of incurring any potential liability relating to this exposure is not probable at September 30, 2021.
Considerations of credit risk
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and investments. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents and short term investments with various financial institutions. These financial institutions are typically located in cities in which the Company and its Affiliates operate. For the Company and certain Affiliates, cash deposits at a financial institution may exceed Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. The majority of the Company’s cash equivalents consists of money market funds. At September 30, 2021, approximately $ 1.4 billion of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents were invested in money market funds. Additionally, the Company holds insurance policies which cover historical and future tax benefits relating to certain of its deferred tax assets. The insurers of the policies are considered a significant counterparty to the Company.

12) Revenue
Management fees
The Company’s management fees are a function of the fee rates the Affiliates charge to their clients, which are typically expressed in basis points, and the levels of the Company’s assets under management. The most significant driver of increases or decreases in this average fee rate is changes in the mix of the Company’s assets under management caused by net inflows or outflows in certain asset classes or disproportionate market movements.
Performance fees
The Company’s products subject to performance fees earn these fees upon exceeding high-water mark performance thresholds or outperforming a hurdle rate. Performance fees are recorded in revenues when the contractual performance criteria have been met and when it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue recognized will not occur in future reporting periods.
Other revenue
Included in other revenue are certain payroll and benefits costs and expenses paid on behalf of Funds by the Company’s Affiliates. In instances where a customer reimburses the Company for a cost paid on the customer’s behalf, the Company is acting as a principal and the reimbursement is accrued on a gross basis at cost as the corresponding reimbursable expenses are incurred. Revenue from expense reimbursements amounted to $ 0.7 million and $ 1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Revenue from expense reimbursements amounted to $ 2.9 million and $ 3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and is recorded in other revenue in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Other revenue may also consist of other miscellaneous revenue, consisting primarily of administration and consulting services.

14) Derivatives and Hedging
Cash flow hedge
In July 2015, the Company entered into a series of $ 300.0 million notional Treasury rate lock contracts which were designated and qualified as cash flow hedges. The Company documented its hedging strategy and risk management objective for this contract in anticipation of a future debt issuance. The Treasury rate lock contract eliminated the impact of fluctuations in the underlying benchmark interest rate for future forecasted debt issuances. The Company assessed the effectiveness of the hedging contract at inception and on a quarterly basis thereafter. The forecasted debt issuances occurred in July 2016 and the Treasury rate lock, which had an accumulated fair value of $( 34.4 ) million, was settled. Refer to Note 7, Borrowings and Debt, for additional information on the debt issuances.
As of September 30, 2021, the balance recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) was $( 16.2 ) million, net of tax. This balance will be reclassified to earnings through interest expense over the life of the issued debt. The Company reclassified $ 0.8 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Amounts of $ 2.4 million and $ 2.3 million have been reclassified for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During the next twelve months the Company expects to reclassify approximately $ 3.5 million to interest expense.

15) Segments
The Company has the following reportable segment (1)(2) :
• Quant & Solutions —comprised of versatile, often highly-tailored strategies that leverage data and technology in a computational, factor-based investment process across a range of asset classes in developed and emerging markets, including global, non-U.S. and small-cap equities, as well as managed volatility, ESG, multi-asset, equity alternatives, and long/short strategies. This segment is comprised of the Company’s interest in Acadian.
The corporate head office is included within Other (1)(2) category. The corporate head office expenses are not allocated to the Company’s business segment but the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) does consider the cost structure of the corporate head office when evaluating the financial performance of the segment.
(1) Prior to March 31, 2021, the Company had an Alternatives reportable segment which was comprised of Landmark and Campbell Global operating segments. On March 30, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell all of the Company’s interests in Landmark. On June 2, 2021, the Company completed the sale of all the Company’s interests in Landmark. As a result of this transaction, Landmark has been reclassified to discontinued operations, and the Alternatives segment no longer constitutes a reportable segment of the Company. The reportable segments for all periods presented have been recast to reflect the reporting of Landmark within discontinued operations and the reclassification of Campbell Global to “Other” category. On August 31, 2021, the Company completed the sale of all its interests in Campbell Global. The financial results of Campbell Global are included in the “Other” category until August 30, 2021, the consummation of the sale. See Note 3, Divestitures, Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations for further discussion.
(2) Prior to June 30, 2021, the Company had a Liquid Alpha reportable segment which was comprised of TSW and ICM. On May 9, 2021, the Company entered into an agreement to sell all of the Company’s interests in TSW. On July 19, 2021, the Company completed the sale of all the Company’s interest in TSW. As a result of this transaction, TSW has been reclassified to discontinued operations and Liquid Alpha no longer constitutes a reportable segment of the Company. The ICM operating segment was reclassified to “Other” category within the Company’s segment reporting for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. On July 19, 2021 the Company completed the sale of all its interests in ICM, an equity-accounted Affiliate. The financial results of ICM are included in the “Other” category until July 19, 2021, the consummation of the sale. See Note 3, Divestitures, Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations for further discussion.
Performance Measure
The primary measure used by the CODM in measuring performance and allocating resources to the segments is Economic Net Income (“ENI”). The Company defines ENI for the segments as ENI revenue less (i) ENI operating expenses, (ii) variable compensation and (iii) key employee distributions. The ENI adjustments to U.S. GAAP include both reclassifications of U.S. GAAP revenue and expense items, as well as adjustments to U.S. GAAP results, primarily to exclude non-cash, non-economic expenses, or to reflect cash benefits not recognized under U.S. GAAP. This measure supplements and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company does not disclose total asset information for its reportable segment as the information is not reviewed by the CODM.
ENI revenue includes management fees, performance fees and other revenue under U.S. GAAP, adjusted to include management fees paid to Affiliates by consolidated Funds and the Company’s share of earnings from equity-

accounted Affiliate. ENI revenue is also adjusted to exclude the separate revenues recorded under U.S. GAAP for certain Fund expenses reimbursed to our Affiliates.
ENI operating expenses include compensation and benefits, general and administrative expense, and depreciation and amortization under U.S. GAAP, adjusted to exclude non-cash expenses representing changes in the value of Affiliate equity and profit interests held by Affiliate key employees, goodwill impairment and amortization of acquired intangible assets, capital transaction costs, restructuring costs, and the separate expenses recorded under U.S. GAAP for certain Fund expenses reimbursed to Affiliates. Additionally, variable compensation and Affiliate key employee distributions are segregated from ENI operating expenses.
ENI segment results are also adjusted to exclude the portion of consolidated Fund revenues, expenses and investment return recorded under U.S. GAAP.
