©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2010 Impairment Test for HTM Investments HTM investments must be evaluated for impairment Two criteria 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 21
©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2010 Recording an Impairment Loss Example: An investor owns an HTM security with a current amortized cost of $981,666. During 2011, the investor has determined 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 $200, Dec. 31Impairment loss on HTM securities781,666 Investment in HTM securities 781,666 To record the impairment:
©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2010 Investments with Significant Influence Two accounting options exist Elect to use the SFAS 159 fair value option, or Apply the equity method Investor must exert significant influence over operating and financing decisions of the investee 23
©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2010 When is Significant Influence Present? Assumed to be present if the investment allows the investor to exercise significant influence over the financial and operating decisions of the investee Generally 20 to 50% ownership required Less than 20% ownership exceptions Representation on the investee’s board Involvement in investee operating and financial policies Significant transactions between investor and investee 24
©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2010 Accounting Under the Equity Method Investment performance should parallel the investee’s performance 25 Investment in Stock Cost of investment Investor's share of investee's income Investor's share of investee's loss Dividends received from investee Ending cost basis IncreasesDecreases Changes in proportion to the investee’s retained earnings account

©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2010 Equity in Net Income Adjustments to reported net income may be required If investment cost differs from investee’s book value Adjustment required: Must amortize investment cost in excess of book value acquired If investor and investee transact business with each other Adjustment required: Remove gross margin that is not yet earned 29
©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2010 Adjustments to Equity in Net Income Adjustments should be made for Depreciation and amortization on revaluations of Tangible assets, and Limited life intangible assets 30 Exceptions No adjustments for goodwill impairment (SFAS 142) and other indefinite life intangibles (EITF Issue 08-06)
©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2010 Additional Investment Cost Valuation Rocky Mountain reports total assets of $80 million and total liabilities of $50 million, for a net book value of $30 million. The original cost paid by Coca-Cola was $12 million. 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, 2011 and uses straight-line depreciation. The previously unreported technology is a limited life intangible asset with a 5-year life. 31 Price paid $12,000,000 Share of Rocky Mountain's net assets acquired: Book value (30% x $30,000,000)$9,000,000 Revaluation of plant and equipment (30% x $1,000,000)300,000 Unreported technology (30% x $5,000,000)1,500,00010,800,000 Additional investment cost (goodwill) $1,200,000
©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2010 Inventory Sales Between Investee and Investor Downstream Sales Investor sells inventory to investee 32 Upstream Sales Investee sells inventory to investor Both companies record sales as if selling to outside customers Both report gross margin as part of income Results in If inventory not sold to unrelated outside party at year-end, gross margin is not yet earned Investor must remove when calculating equity in net income of investee
©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2010 Adjustments for Unconfirmed Inventory Profits Example 33 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? 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

©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2010 Other Comprehensive Income and the Equity Method Investor must adjust its investment and other comprehensive income for its share of the investee’s yearly OCI Such as investor’s recognition of unrealized gain on AFS securities 35 Suppose Rocky Mountain reported $200,000 in unrealized gains on AFS securities. 30% × $200,000 = $60, Dec. 31Investment in Rocky Mountain Bottlers60,000 Unrealized gains on equity method investments (OCI)60,000
©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2010 Impairment Testing Impairment testing required under APBO 18 for equity method investments Criteria If fair value of the investment declines below its carrying value, and The decline is judged to be other than temporary Accounting requirements Investment is written down and a loss is recognized on the investor’s income statement Subsequent increases ignored 36
©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2010 Joint Venture An entity formed by a small 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 Corporate joint venture Exists when the venture is organized as a corporation 37 U.S. companies use the equity method for joint ventures.
©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2010 Controlling Investments Give the investor control over the operating and financial decisions of the investee Three forms Statutory merger, statutory consolidation, or asset acquisition Stock acquisition Variable interest entity General rule: assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses are combined with those of the investor for financial statement reporting 38
©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2010 Statutory Mergers, Statutory Consolidations, and Asset Acquisitions An investor directly acquires the assets and liabilities of the investee Assets and liabilities recorded directly on investor’s balance sheet at fair value 39 Statutory Merger Occurs when the investor acquires the investee and becomes the remaining legal entity Statutory Consolidation Occurs when a new entity is formed to acquire both the investor and the investee Asset Acquisition Occurs when an investor acquires a subset of the investee’s assets
©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2010 Stock Acquisitions Occurs when an investor obtains control over another company by investing in its voting stock Investee remains a separate legal entity 40 Parent the investor Subsidiary the acquired company The separate financial records are consolidated at the end of each reporting period.
©Cambridge Business Publishing, 2010 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. 41 Investment in Rocky Mountain Bottlers40,000,000 Cash 40,000,000 This is the entry Coke makes on its own books, but its annual report shows Coke and Rocky Mountain’s combined accounts as if Coke recorded the acquisition as a statutory merger.
