    1. CHAPTER 3 PARTIALLY OWNED CREATED SUBSIDIARIES

    2. FOCUS OF CHAPTER 3 Partially Owned Created Subsidiaries Preparing Consolidated Statements: The Cost Method The Equity Method Unconsolidated Subsidiaries--Ways to Value the Parent’s Investment Variable Interest Entities Taxation of domestic subsidiaries.

    3. Proportional vs. Full Consolidation: At Opposite Ends of the Spectrum

    4. Parent Company Concept vs. Economic Unit Concept: Not Much Difference for “Created “ Subsidiaries

    5. Parent Company Concept (PCC) vs. Economic Unit Concept (EUC): Definition & Classification Differences

    6. Unconsolidated Subsidiaries: 100% Ownership Situations Permissible Valuation Methods (for when control has been lost): Equity Method--but ONLY IF significant influence exists. Cost Method--makes sense to use when realization of sub’s expected future earnings is doubtful. The default method if NO significant influence exists.

    7. Unconsolidated Subsidiaries: Partial Ownerships--NCI Shares Are NOT Publicly Traded Permissible Valuation Methods (for when control has been lost): Equity Method--but ONLY IF significant influence exists. Cost Method. The default method if NO significant influence exists.

    8. Unconsolidated Subsidiaries: Partial Ownerships--NCI Shares ARE Publicly Traded Permissible Valuation Methods (for when control has been lost): Equity Method--but ONLY IF significant influence exists. Fair Value Method (the new kid)--must use if significant influence does NOT exist.

    9. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs): Defined VIE: A less than majority-owned entity that is subject to consolidation under the provisions of FASB Interpretation 46. If certain conditions exist, the entity must be consolidated. An entity that has a variable interest in a VIE--an interest that changes with changes in the VIE’s net assets--must determine if it must consolidate the VIE.

    10. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs): “Variable Interest Relationships” Variable Interest Relationships: Situations in which an entity: Receives benefits and/or is exposed to risks similar to those received from having a majority ownership interest. Result from contractual arrangements.

    11. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs): “Contractual Arrangements” Contractual Arrangement Types: Options Leases Guarantees of asset recovery values Guarantees of debt repayment Contractual arrangements may exist simultaneously with a less than majority ownership in a VIE.

    12. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs): Most are “SPEs” Special Purpose Entities: Legally structured entities to serve a specific, predetermined, limited purpose. May be a corporation, partnership, trust, or some other legal entity. Creator is called the “sponsor.” Usually thinly capitalized. Most commonly used for securitizations (of receivables).

    13. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs): “SPEs” Special Purpose Entities: Not subject to consolidation provisions of FIN 46 if sales recognition criteria of FAS 140 is met for transfer of assets to SPE. If met, SPE is called a “Qualifying SPE.” (If not met, the proceeds from the transfer are treated as a loan.) FAS 140 prohibits transferors from consolidating QSPEs (because risk exposure is considered insignificant).

    14. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs): Potential Variable Interests Potential Variable Interests: Subordinated loans to a VIE. Equity interests in a VIE (50% or less). Guarantees to a VIE’s lenders or equity holders (that reduce the true risk of these parties). Written put options on a VIE’s assets held by a VIE or its lenders or equity holders. Forward contracts on purchases and sales.

    15. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs): The Primary Beneficiary PRIMARY BENEFICIARY of a VIE must consolidate the VIE. PRIMARY BENEFICIARY is the entity that: Will absorb a majority (more than 50%) of the VIE’s expected losses and/or Will receive a majority (more than 50%) of the VIE’s expected residual returns. Expected losses are given more weight than expected residual returns in certain situations.

    16. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs): The Primary Beneficiary Only one PRIMARY BENEFICIARY can exist for a VIE (by definition). Potential for Erroneously Determined Multiple Primary Beneficiaries Does Exist: When one or more variable interest holders(VIH) has incomplete information about the VIE’s other VIH. Different VIH make different judgments about their variable interests.

    17. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs): Determining if an Entity is a VIE IN GENERAL, an entity is subject to consolidation if, by design, any of three conditions exists. These conditions focus on: 1. Sufficiency of equity investment at risk. 2. Characteristics of the holders of equity investment at risk. 3. Whether certain disproportionalities exist among the equity investors.

    18. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs): Determining if an Entity is a VIE Condition #1: Equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support (SFS). SFS is defined as variable interests that will absorb some or all of an entity’s expected losses (example: a debt guarantee or an equity guarantee). In general, the equity at risk is deemed sufficient if it is at least 10% of total assets. (May need more than 10%.)

    19. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs): Determining if an Entity is a VIE (cont.) Condition #2: The holders of the equity investment at risk (as a group) lack any of the following characteristics: The ability to make decisions about an entity’s activities. The obligation to absorb the entity’s expected losses. The right to receive the entities expected residual returns.

    20. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs): Determining if an Entity is a VIE (cont.) Condition #3: Certain disproportionalities exist among the equity investors. Example: Certain equity holders possess voting rights that are not proportional to their obligation to share the VIE’s losses.

    21. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs): Consolidation Procedures Major Points in Consolidating: #1 Eliminate primary beneficiary’s interest in the VIE. #2 Report VIE’s assets & liabilities at fair values--not their book values. #3 Report goodwill if it exists. #4 Extinguish “negative goodwill”/ BPE if it exists. #5 Report noncontrolling interest at FV. #6 Eliminate intercompany transactions.

    22. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs): Disclosures Required When Involved Disclosures for Primary Beneficiaries (that do not hold a majority voting interest): #1 VIE’s nature, purpose, size, activities. #2 Carrying value and classification of consolidated assets that are collateral for the VIE’s obligations. #3 Lack of recourse if creditors (or beneficial interest holders) of a consolidated VIE have no recourse to the general credit of the primary beneficiary.

    23. Variable Interest Entities (VIEs): Disclosures Required When Involved Disclosures for Nonprimary Beneficiaries: #1 Nature of involvement with VIE and when involvement began. #2 VIE’s nature, purpose, size, activities. #3 The entity’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the VIE.
