Eyes Open ... I did my best to avoid the "Heads Up" .. Phrase. WASHINGTON, March 12 (Reuters) - At a U.S. House Financial Services subcommittee hearing on mark-to-market accounting: * US Rep. Michael Capuano, a Massachusetts Democrat, says government may not have to buy banks' bad assets if accounting standards are temporarily changed. * Financial Accounting Standards Board Chairman Robert Herz says banks can do cash flow modeling to value distressed assets instead of using fire-sale prices. * Herz says firms not always using cash flow modeling because may not have in-house expertise. * Herz says FASB may have to give firms more examples so they can use ""cash flow"" modeling to value assets. * Herz says a major financial firm recently repositioned, sold distressed assets and did so 'at very low prices'. * Herz says loans are overstated on some companies' books. iii.co.uk (Reporting by Karey Wutkowski and Rachelle Younglai; Washington desk for company news; +1 202 898 8400, washington.newsroom@reuters.com) COPYRIGHT Copyright Thomson Reuters 2009.
