  • Court Confirms Energy Future Holdings'ʹ Plan of Reorganization
    Court Confirms Energy Future Holdings' Plan of Reorganization Upon Regulatory Approvals and Emergence, EFH to Benefit from Strengthened Balance Sheet and Strong Position in Texas' Competitive Energy Market DALLAS, Dec. 3, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Energy Future Holdings today announced that the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware has confirmed the company's plan of reorganization. The plan contemplates a tax-free spin of the company's competitive businesses, including Luminant and TXU Energy, and the sale of its holdings in Oncor to a consortium of investors. "We are pleased to have reached this critical milestone on the road to emergence," said John Young, chief executive officer of EFH. "We can now begin, in earnest, to build for the future, with a strong capital structure, excellent assets and a singular commitment to delivering for our customers, employees and business partners in Texas' growing, competitive market. Our financial restructuring has been among the most complex in history, and it is a credit to our entire team and our outside advisors that the company has reached this point while maintaining stellar customer service and operational excellence." Following the court's confirmation, the company must also receive regulatory approvals and satisfy various other closing conditions in order to emerge from chapter 11. The regulatory process is expected to extend into the spring of 2016, though final timing is subject to modification. About Energy Future Holdings EFH is a Dallas-based holding company engaged in competitive and regulated energy market activities in Texas. Its portfolio of competitive businesses consists primarily of Luminant, which is engaged largely in power generation and related mining activities, wholesale power marketing and energy trading, and TXU Energy, a retail electricity provider with 1.7 million residential and business customers in Texas.

  • Who Is Most Impacted by the New Lease Accounting Standards?
    Who is Most Impacted by the New Lease Accounting Standards? An Analysis of the Fortune 500’s Leasing Obligations What Do Corporations Lease? Many companies lease (rather than buy) much of the equipment and real estate they use to run their business. Many of the office buildings, warehouses, retail stores or manufacturing plants companies run their operations from are leased. Many of the forklifts, trucks, computers and data center equipment companies use to run their business is leased. Leasing has many benefits. Cash flow is one. Instead of outlaying $300,000 to buy five trucks today you can make a series of payments over the next four years to lease them. You can then deploy the cash you saved towards other investments that appreciate in value. Also, regular replacement of older technology with the latest and greatest technology increases productivity and profitability. Instead of buying a server to use in your data center for five years, you can lease the machines and get a new replacement every three years. If you can return the equipment on time, you are effectively outsourcing the monetization of the residual value in the equipment to an expert third-party, the leasing company. Another benefit of leasing is the accounting, specifically the way the leases are reported on financial statements such as annual reports (10-Ks). Today, under the current ASC 840 standard, leases are classified as capital leases or operating leases. Capital leases are reported on the balance sheet. Operating leases are disclosed in the footnotes of your financial statements as “off balance sheet” operating expenses and excluded from important financial ratios such as Return on Assets that investors use to judge a company’s performance.

How does the buyout industry’s “see no evil, accept no responsibility” approach to business really impact Main Street America? With hundreds of thousands of employees, KKR portfolio companies together employ one of the largest private workforces of any U.S.-based firm. While recent reports have focused on the net job loss resulting from leveraged buyouts, there

  • Free Range Aoudad Offer Challenging Hunt Page 6
    OUTDOOR REPORTER New Mexico Wildlife Federation www.nmwildlife.org Summer, 2021 LEGISLATIVE REVIEW PAGE 5 HARD COUNTRY: A LESSER PRAIRIE-CHICKEN FINAL FRONTIER PAGE 8 FREE RANGE AOUDAD OFFER CHALLENGING HUNT PAGE 6 EATING UNICORN AND DRINKING BOURBON PAGE 7 A Word from our Executive Director Throughout my youth, I was distraught about the dates the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish designated for spring turkey season. During those years, turkey season started very near the end of spring break for Albuquerque Public Schools. I have many memories spending time with my dad in the Gila listening to gobblers as they strutted for hens days before the season opened. Generally, we would get to hunt gobblers for only the last one or two days of the trip. Now, decades later, I recognize that the timing of turkey season could not be better. Turkey season now provides the perfect opportunity to retreat into the wilds following our New Mexico legislative session. The 2021 session was especially challenging. SB312, “The New Mexico Wildlife Heritage Act,” was possibly the largest wildlife bill ever to be introduced in New Mexico. It’s often said, “Go big or go home!” Well, the New Mexico Wildlife Federation went big -- and we stayed home. Due to the pandemic, this was a crazy session filled with Zoom meetings and virtual votes. Although the NMWF gave it our best effort, SB312 failed to pass, and that’s a shame. Among many other things, the bill would have repealed the current law that sets aside 10 percent of the big game tags from our draw pool to hunters -- many of them nonresidents -- who can afford to retain an outfitter.
