Motivations for Intercorporate Investments

As a temporary investment of excess cash or part of a long-term risk-adjusted portfolio Expectations of dividends and gains

As a strategic investment Develop relationships with suppliers and

customers Gain access to new product or geographic

markets

To facilitate activity along its supply chain

©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2013©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2013

Fair Value Option

ASC Topic 825 allows companies to elect the fair value option for eligible intercorporate investments

Investments reported at fair value Value changes reported as part of income Option available only for noncontrolling

investments

7

This chapter assumes the company did NOT elect the fair value option.

Learning Objective 1

Describe the reporting for trading, available-for-sale, and held-to-maturity

investments in other companies.

Impairment Testing for AFS Securities

Required because impairment losses go through income but “normal” declines are reported in OCI

Is the security’s fair value below its cost? If so, is the decline other than temporary?

Common indicator: security will be sold before value can be recovered

Impairment Testing of AFS Securities continued

Fair value ($90,000) < cost ($160,000) If the decline in value is other than

temporary:

22

Record the decline in value of the AFS security from cost to fair value as impairment loss, in income, reclassify the unrealized gain out of AOCI, and write the investment down from book value to fair value:

Required because normally HTM investments are carried at amortized cost

Two criteria, same as for AFS securities Fair value declines below amortized cost, and Decline is judged to be other than temporary

If judged to be impaired Write down the security to fair value Report the decline as an impairment loss on the

income statement Ignore subsequent increases in fair value

Recording an Impairment Loss

Example: An investor owns an HTM security with a current amortized cost

of $981,666. At the end of 2013, the investor determines that it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of a debt security will not be collected. The current market value is $500,000.

©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2013©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2013

Investments with Significant Influence

Two accounting options exist Elect to use the ASC Topic 825 fair value

option, or Apply the equity method (ASC Topic 323)

Investor must exert significant influence over operating and financing decisions of the investee

30

©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2013©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2013

When is Significant Influence Present?

Representation on the investee’s board Involvement in investee operating and

financial policies Significant transactions between investor

and investee Guideline: 20% to 50% ownership

BUT significant influence can exist with less than 20% ownership

31

©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2013©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2013

Equity in Net Income

Adjustments to reported net income may be required If investment cost differs from investee’s book

value Adjustment required: Amortize investment cost in

excess of book value acquired

If investor and investee transact business with each other Adjustment required: Remove intercompany profit

that is not yet earned

36

Adjustments to Equity in Net Income

Adjustments should be made for depreciation and amortization on revaluations of Tangible assets, and Limited life intangible assets

37

ExceptionsNo adjustments for goodwill impairment or impairment

of other indefinite life intangibles

Example: RevaluationsOn January 1, 2013, Rocky Mountain reports total assets of $80 million and total liabilities of $50 million, for a net book value of $30 million. Coca-Cola paid $12 million for 30% of Rocky Mountain’s shares. Analysis indicates that Rocky Mountain has unreported technology valued at $5 million and its plant and equipment is undervalued by $1 million. Plant and equipment has a remaining life of 10 years as of January 2, 2013 and uses straight-line depreciation. The previously unreported technology is a limited life intangible asset with a 5-year life.

39

Price paid   $12,000,000Share of Rocky Mountain's net assets acquired:

Example: Unconfirmed Inventory Profits

Suppose Rocky Mountain sells canned beverages to Coca-Cola upstream for $800,000 at a 20% markup on cost. Coca-Cola holds $210,000 of this inventory at year-end. Coca-Cola sells finished products to Rocky Mountain downstream for $500,000 at a 25% markup on cost. Rocky Mountain holds $100,000 of this inventory at year-end. How much is unconfirmed profit?

40

Unconfirmed gross profit on $210,000 upstream sales:$210,000 –[ $210,000 ÷ 1.20] = $35,000

Unconfirmed gross profit on $100,000 downstream sales:$100,000 – [$100,000 ÷ 1.25] = $20,000

Joint Ventures

An entity formed by a group of individuals or firms that contribute resources and jointly share in managing and controlling the venture Often established for a short-term, single business

transaction or activity Enables expertise, special technology, capital,

market access to be combined

43

U.S. companies use the equity method for joint ventures.

Learning Objective 3

Describe the reporting for controlling interests in other companies.

44

©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2013©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2013

Controlling Investments

The investor has control over the operating and financial decisions of the investee

Three forms Statutory merger, statutory consolidation, or

asset acquisition Stock acquisition Variable interest entity

Assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses are combined with those of the investor for financial statement reporting

45

©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2013©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2013

Statutory Mergers, Statutory Consolidations, and Asset Acquisitions

Investor directly acquires the assets and liabilities of the investee

Assets and liabilities recorded directly on investor’s balance sheet at fair value

46

Statutory mergerOccurs when the investor acquires

the investee and becomes the remaining legal entity

Statutory consolidationOccurs when a new entity is formed to acquire both the investor and the investee

Asset acquisitionOccurs when an investor acquires a subset of the

investee’s assets

©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2013©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2013

Statutory Merger Example

Coca-Cola acquires all of Rocky Mountain’s assets and liabilities in a statutory merger by paying $40 million in cash on Jan. 2, 2013. Fair values in millions are: Current assets, $20; plant and equipment, $61; current liabilities, $15; and long-term liabilities, $35. Coca-Cola identified and valued Rocky Mountain’s previously unreported intangibles asset, technology, at $5 million.

Stock Acquisitions

Occurs when an investor obtains control over another company by investing in its voting stock Investee remains a separate legal entity

49

The separate financial records are consolidated

at the end of each reporting

period.

©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2013©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2013

Stock Acquisition Example

Assume Coca-Cola acquires and holds all of the voting stock of Rocky Mountain Bottlers, paying the former stockholders of Rocky Mountain $40 million cash.

50

Investment in Rocky Mountain Bottlers 40,000,000 Cash   40,000,000

This is the entry Coca-Cola makes on its own books, but its annual report shows Coca-Cola and Rocky Mountain’s combined accounts as if Coca-Cola recorded the acquisition as a statutory merger.

©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2013©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2013

Variable Interest Entities (VIEs)

Investee is a separate legal entity controlled by another company

Control occurs through legal relationships rather than stock ownership

51

Entity is considered to be a VIE if:•The entity must obtain guarantees from other parties in order to obtain financing, or•The equity holders do not have the usual rights and responsibilities of equity ownership, such as voting and residual return rights

©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2013©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2013

Issue of Control with VIEs

Consequences of control Must have the power to direct the VIE’s

activities Must absorb the majority of the VIE’s risks and

rewards

Reporting is the same as for stock investments

52

Voting rights are not an indicator of controlling a VIE

©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2013©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2013

Learning Objective 4

Discuss International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for intercorporate
