ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.
Standard Parking Corporation (the "Company") is filing this Current Report on
Form 8-K with the SEC to update the Company's audited financial statements
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2008 filed with the SEC on March 13, 2009 (the "2008 Form 10-K") to
reflect, for all periods presented, the retrospective adoption, effective
January 1, 2009, of Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an Amendment of
ARB No. 51 ("FAS 160"). FAS 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards
for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary, previously referred to as
minority interest. Among other matters, FAS 160 requires that noncontrolling
interests be reported within the equity section of the balance sheet and that
the amounts of consolidated net income or loss and consolidated comprehensive
income or loss attributable to the parent company and the noncontrolling
interests be clearly presented separately in the consolidated financial
statements. Also, pursuant to FAS 160, where appropriate, losses will be
allocated to noncontrolling interests even when that allocation may result in a
deficit equity balance. While the accounting provisions of FAS 160 are being
applied prospectively beginning January 1, 2009, the presentation and disclosure
requirements have been applied retrospectively. Upon adoption of FAS 160, the
Company reclassified minority interests in its consolidated balance sheet from
accrued expenses to noncontrolling interest in the equity section. Additionally,
the Company changed the way noncontrolling interests are presented within the
consolidated statement of income such that the statement of income reflects
results attributable to both the Company's interests and noncontrolling
interests. The results attributable to the Company's interests did not change
upon the adoption of FAS 160. On May 7, 2009 and August 7, 2009, the Company
filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2009 and
June 30, 2009, respectively (collectively, the "2009 Form 10-Qs"), which
reflected the adoption of FAS 160 as further described in the notes to the
interim consolidated financial statements included in those filings. The
following sections of the 2008 Form 10-K are being updated in this Current
Report on Form 8-K to reflect the retrospective adoption of FAS 160 (such
sections are filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and incorporated by reference herein):
• Part II -Item 6. Selected Financial Data
• Part II-Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations.
• Part IV-Item 15. Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules
The Company has included the entire text of the affected sections. No sections
of the 2008 Form 10-K other than as identified above are being revised by this
filing. Information in the 2008 Form 10-K is generally stated as of December 31,
2008 and this filing does not reflect any subsequent information or events other
than the adoption of the accounting pronouncements and the reclassification of
certain prior year amounts to conform to current presentation. Without
limitation of the foregoing, this filing does not purport to update the
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations contained in the 2008 Form 10-K for any information, uncertainties,
transactions, risks, events or trends occurring, or known to management. More
current information is included in the Company's other filings with the SEC.
This Current Report on Form 8-K should be read in conjunction with the 2008 Form
10-K, the 2009 Form 10-Qs and the Company's other filings with the SEC. Other
filings contain important information regarding events, developments and updates
to certain events and expectations of the Company that have occurred since the
filing of the 2008 Form 10-K and the 2009 Form 10-Qs.
