Off-Balance Sheet Debt (SPEs, Equity Method)
RCJ Chapter 11 (pg 583-585) & Chapter 16 (pg 891-895)
Paul Zarowin 2
Key Issues
1. Special Purpose Entity (SPE)
2. Definition, types of activity
3. Rules for off-B/S accounting
4. Partial vs. full consolidation (to put on B/S)
5. Example
6. Ratio effects
Paul Zarowin 3
Off-Balance Sheet Debt In order not to appear too risky firms that operate in
debt intensive industry, such as energy, communication and airline, try to keep debt off the balance sheet.
Construct deals in such a way as to avoid reporting debt/liabilities.
We’ll review several forms of off-balance sheet financing:
Special purpose entities
Equity method vs. consolidation of subsidiaries
Operating leases (vs. capital lease)
Synthetic leases
Paul Zarowin 4
Special Purpose Entity (SPE) Subsidiary, partnership, etc. set up for specific,
finite period, activity.
Often highly leveraged (high ratio of debt/equity or debt/assets).
Also for ongoing investments, subs, joint ventures.
Paul Zarowin 5
Consolidation of Subs, SPEsTo avoid consolidation of SPE subsidiary, investment, or joint venture, parent must have:1. 50% or less of sub’s common O/E, or 2. for SPE’s outside residual claim must bear substantial
risk; de facto implementation has required 3% of total assets.
Example: A = L + ESPE 100 94 6P=parent 97 94 (upto 97) 3 (or less)
Outside owner 3 0 3
key point: keep debt off of the Balance Sheet
Paul Zarowin 6
Equity Method vs. Consolidation
Equity method for parent investment in A or B:DRInvestment 1
CR Cash or C/S 1
A = L + E D/E D/A
P=parent
2 1 1 1.0 .50
Sub A 1 0 1 0 0
Sub B 10 9 1 9.0 .90note: both sub’s have same BV of O/E = 1 (assume BV = MV, so GW = 0)
Consolidation of A into P
Consolidation of B into P
DR Assets 1 CR Cash or C/S 1
DR Assets 10 CR Cash or C/S 1 CR Liab. 9
sub’s A’s and L’s not recognized; only O/E recognized
sub’s A’s and L’s recognized
Paul Zarowin 7
One Line Consolidation
Under the equity method, subsidiaries’ net assets (A-L) collapse into one line usually called ‘investment’.
Equity method is often called “one line consolidation”
8
Effect of Consolidation on D/E and D/A
A = L + E D/E D/A
Pay cash 2* 1 1 1.0 .50
Pay C/S 3 1 2 .50 .33* no change since DR to sub’s assets is cancelled by CR to cash
A = L + E D/E D/A
Pay cash 2 1 1 1.0 .50
Pay C/S 3 1 2 .50 .33
A = L + E D/E D/A
Pay cash 11 10 1 10 .91
Pay C/S 12 10 2 5 .83
P’s Equity method for A and B:
P consolidates A: (same as equity method since L = 0)
P consolidates B:
key issue: incentives for equity method vs. consolidation
Start with P’s A=L+E and add JE’s effects from slide #6
Paul Zarowin 9
Correction JETo go from equity method to consolidation: sub A
DR Assets 1CR Investment 1
sub B DR Asset 10CR Investment 1 CR Liab 9
Key point: replace investment with assets and liabs
Ex. P16-16, sections 1-3
10
Solution (Correction JE): Partial or Full ConsolidationP’s owns x% in Sub’s common O/E P’s investment in sub: External interest: common equity of sub owned by parties
other than parent Note: (3) I + E = O/E = A – L
Key point: replace investment with assets and liabs
L)-x%(AO/E x%I (1)
L)-x%)(A1(O/E x%)1( E(2)
Partial consolidation: recognized fractional share of Sub’s Assets and Liab’s
Full consolidation: recognized all of Sub’s Assets and Liab’s and External Interest
DR x% Assets CR x% Liab CR Investment [Must balance from (1) above]
DR Assets CR Liab CR Investment CR External interest [Must balance from (3) above]
Assume GW=0

Example (cont’d)
Note: What % of subs’ A + L are recognized?equity method < proportionate consolidation < full
consolidation: recognize more and more of the Sub’s assets and liabilities
Note: P’s O/E is equal for
equity method; proportionate consolidation; and full consolidation
So D/E

Ex: Partial or Full Consolidation with GW (GW = MV - BV of P’s Investment)x% = P’s ownership % in Sub’s common O/E I = Investment = x% O/E + GW = (x% Assets - x% Liab) +
GW E = external interest = (1-x%) O/E = (1-x%) Assets - (1-x%)
Liab I + E = O/E + GW = A - L + GW
Note: don’t recognize GW for external interest; only for fraction owned by parent
Partial consolidation: recognized fractional share of Sub’s Assets and Liab’s
Full consolidation: recognized all of Sub’s Assets and Liab’s and External Interest
