Certain surrender options are exempt from the application of IAS 39 and therefore are not required to be separated.

Matheson Debra J. O Connor and Joseph H. Herberger January 2011 Abstract This paper examines the profitability of Division I athletic programs at colleges and universities in the United States under a variety of accounting definitions of profit. The data identify several broad themes. First a majority of athletic departments rely heavily on direct and indirect subsidization of their programs by the student body the institution itself and state governments in order to balance their books. Without such funding less than a third of BCS athletic departments and no non-BCS departments are in the black. Second athletic programs rely heavily on contributions to balance their books. Donations to athletic departments may serve as a substitute for donations to the rest of the university lowering giving to other programs. Third football and men s basketball programs are generally highly profitable at BCS schools but below this top tier fewer than 10 of football programs and 15 of men s basketball programs show a profit by any reasonable accounting measures.
