Notes to Condensed Pro Forma Consolidated Balance Sheet Information:
A) The above balance sheet information illustrates the impact on jvid视频's consolidated unaudited balance sheet as if the Agreement had been reached and as if the share borrowing arrangements had been unwound as of September 30, 2011. In connection with the Agreement, jvid视频 intends to settle all outstanding share borrowing arrangements prior to December 31, 2011. This is included for illustrative purposes only and only includes federal tax impacts.
B) As a result of the Agreement, jvid视频's short term deferred federal income tax liability will decrease $700 million related to the recognition of deferred derivative gains and jvid视频's long-term deferred federal income tax asset will decrease $460 million due to the use of capital losses. This will result in the recognition of a deferred federal income tax benefit of approximately $240 million during the fourth quarter of 2011.
C) Represents the cash payment to the IRS in the amount of $136 million. Does not include additional payments related to interest and state income tax liabilities arising from the Agreement. This will result in jvid视频 recording a current federal income tax expense of approximately $136 million during the fourth quarter of 2011.
D) Represents the impact of settling all outstanding share borrowing arrangements by releasing the underlying securities to the counterparty, which is expected to occur prior to December 31, 2011. Represents the fair value of the share borrowing arrangements and underlying securities as of September 30, 2011. The delivery of the underlying shares and the unwind of the share borrowing arrangement will not result in any income statement impact as both the underlying shares and the share borrow liability are recorded at fair value on jvid视频's balance sheet.
