Change in Accounting for Convertible Debt Securities
In May 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. APB 14-1 "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)" ("FSP APB 14-1")." Under this standard, convertible debt securities that may be settled in cash (or other assets), including partial cash settlement, would be separated into a debt and equity component. This change in principle, which is effective for us as of January 1, 2009, was applied retrospectively to previously issued convertible debt instruments. The adoption of this new accounting standard increased our 2008 and 2007 non-cash interest expense by approximately $13 million per year, resulting in a reduction of our diluted earnings per share by approximately $0.12 in 2008 and 2007. The impact for the first quarter 2009 was additional interest expense of $2.1 million, net of income taxes of $1.4 million, or $.03 per fully diluted share.
