NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT AND ACCOUNTING PRINICPLE CHANGE Sample Clauses

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT AND ACCOUNTING PRINICPLE CHANGE. In December 1999, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101--"Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements" (SAB 101). This SAB deals with various revenue recognition issues; certain ones of which are pertinent to the death care industry. As a result, we have changed our method of recognizing preneed revenues and certain related costs of originating preneed cemetery contracts. SAB 101 was effective as of the beginning of 2000, but because of extensions to allow for implementation, we implemented the changes beginning with the fourth quarter of 2000 and have restated quarters 1 through 3 in Note 15, QUARTERLY FINANCIAL DATA. Fiscal years prior to 2000 were not required to be restated. Previously, we had recognized sales of cemetery interment rights, together with associated merchandise and services as revenues at the time contracts were signed. Costs related to the sales of interment rights were charged to operations using the specific identification method. The costs for cemetery merchandise and services sold, but not delivered, was previously accrued as an expense at the time the cemetery revenue was recognized. Similarly, trust income on cemetery merchandise and service trusts was previously recognized when earned by the trust. Under the new accounting principle, we follow Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 66, "Accounting for Sales of Real Estate", in recognizing the revenue from the sales of cemetery interment rights. This method is generally characterized by recognizing the sale in the period when the customer's payments equal or exceed 10% of the contract price related to the interment right. Costs related to the sales of interment rights are charged to operations using the specific identification method in the period in which the sale of the interment right is recognized as revenue.
