Consolidation is required when a reporting entity has a \"controlling financial interest\" — usually ownership of a majority voting interest (or, for limited partnerships, a majority of kick-out rights through voting interests) under the General Subsections, or, for a VIE, both power over the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and exposure to potentially significant losses/benefits. A reporting entity must first test whether the other entity is a VIE (810-10-15-14); only if it is not does the voting-interest or contractual-control analysis apply.","concepts":["controlling financial interest","variable interest entity","primary beneficiary","equity investment at risk","kick-out rights","substantive participating rights","power to direct significant activities","voting interest model"],"categories":["Consolidation","Recognition","Presentation","Disclosure"],"level":"intermediate","topic_title":"Consolidation","sections":[{"number":"00","label":"00 Status","anchor":"00-status","is_sec":false,"groups":[{"block":null,"heading":null,"paragraphs":[{"citation":"810-10-00-1","para":"00-1","html":"

The Variable Interest Entities Subsections clarify the application of the General Subsections to certain legal entities in which equity investors do not have sufficient equity at risk for the legal entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or, as a group, the holders of the equity investment at risk lack any one of the following three characteristics:
  1. a
    The power, through voting rights or similar rights, to direct the activities of a legal entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance
  2. b
    The obligation to absorb the expected losses of the legal entity

Paragraph 810-10-10-1 states that consolidated financial statements are usually necessary for a fair presentation if one of the entities in the consolidated group directly or indirectly has a controlling financial interest in the other entities. For legal entities other than limited partnerships, paragraph 810-10-15-8 states that the usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority voting interest. For limited partnerships, paragraph 810-10-15-8A states that the usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of a majority of the limited partnership's kick-out rights through voting interests. However, application of the majority voting interest and kick-out rights requirements in the General Subsections of this Subtopic to certain types of entities may not identify the party with a controlling financial interest because the controlling financial interest may be achieved through arrangements that do not involve voting interests or kick-out rights.

The Variable Interest Entities Subsections explain how to identify VIEs and how to determine when a reporting entity should include the assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, and results of activities of a VIE in its consolidated financial statements. Transactions involving VIEs are common. Some reporting entities have entered into arrangements using VIEs that appear to be designed to avoid reporting assets and liabilities for which they are responsible, to delay reporting losses that have already been incurred, or to report gains that are illusory. At the same time, many reporting entities have used VIEs for valid business purposes and have properly accounted for those VIEs based on guidance and accepted practice.

Some relationships between reporting entities and VIEs are similar to relationships established by majority voting interests, but VIEs often are arranged without a governing board or with a governing board that has limited ability to make decisions that affect the VIE's activities. A VIE's activities may be limited or predetermined by the articles of incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreements, trust agreements, other establishing documents, or contractual agreements between the parties involved with the VIE. A reporting entity implicitly chooses at the time of its investment to accept the activities in which the VIE is permitted to engage. That reporting entity may not need the ability to make decisions if the activities are predetermined or limited in ways the reporting entity chooses to accept. Alternatively, the reporting entity may obtain an ability to make decisions that affect a VIE's activities through contracts or the VIE's governing documents. There may be other techniques for protecting a reporting entity's interests. In any case, the reporting entity may receive benefits similar to those received from a controlling financial interest and be exposed to risks similar to those received from a controlling financial interest without holding a majority voting interest (or without holding any voting interest). The power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and the reporting entity's exposure to the entity's losses or benefits are determinants of consolidation in the Variable Interest Entities Subsections. The Variable Interest Entities Subsections also provide guidance on determining whether fees paid to a decision maker or service provider should be considered a variable interest in a VIE.

In contrast, either a VIE does not issue voting interests (or other interests with similar rights) or the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the legal entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. If a legal entity does not issue voting or similar interests or if the equity investment is insufficient, that legal entity's activities may be predetermined or decision-making ability is determined contractually. If the total equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the legal entity to finance its activities, the parties providing the necessary additional subordinated financial support most likely will not permit an equity investor to make decisions that may be counter to their interests. That means that the usual condition for establishing a controlling financial interest as a majority voting interest does not apply to VIEs. Consequently, a consolidation analysis that focuses on ownership of voting stock is not appropriate for such entities.

A reporting entity shall apply consolidation guidance for entities that are not in the scope of the Variable Interest Entities Subsections (see the Variable Interest Entities Subsection of this Section) as follows:
  1. a
    All majority-owned subsidiaries—all entities in which a parent has a controlling financial interest—shall be consolidated. However, there are exceptions to this general rule.
    1. 1
      A majority-owned subsidiary shall not be consolidated if control does not rest with the majority owner—for instance, if any of the following are present:
      1. i
        The subsidiary is in legal reorganization
      2. ii
        The subsidiary is in bankruptcy
      3. iii
        The subsidiary operates under foreign exchange restrictions, controls, or other governmentally imposed uncertainties so severe that they cast significant doubt on the parent's ability to control the subsidiary.
      4. iv
        In some instances, the powers of a shareholder with a majority voting interest or limited partner with a majority of kick-out rights through voting interests to control the operations or assets of the investee are restricted in certain respects by approval or veto rights granted to the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner (hereafter referred to as noncontrolling rights). In paragraphs
        810-10-25-2 through 25-14
        , the term noncontrolling shareholder refers to one or more noncontrolling shareholders and the terms limited partner and general partner refer to one or more limited or general partners.         Those noncontrolling rights may have little or no impact on the ability of a shareholder with a majority voting interest or limited partner with a majority of kick-out rights through voting interests to control the investee's operations or assets, or, alternatively, those rights may be so restrictive as to call into question whether control rests with the majority owner.
      5. v
        Control exists through means other than through ownership of a majority voting interest or a majority of kick-out rights through voting interests, for example as described in (c) through (e).
    2. 2
      A majority-owned subsidiary in which a parent has a controlling financial interest shall not be consolidated if the parent is a broker-dealer within the scope of Topic 940 and control is likely to be temporary.
    3. 3

  6. f
    A reporting entity shall not consolidate a legal entity that is required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those included in Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 for registered money market funds.
    1. 1
      A legal entity that is not required to comply with Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 qualifies for this exception if it is similar in its purpose and design, including the risks that the legal entity was designed to create and pass through to its investors, as compared with a legal entity required to comply with Rule 2a-7.
    2. 2
      A reporting entity subject to this scope exception shall disclose any explicit arrangements to provide financial support to legal entities that are required to comply with or operate in accordance with requirements that are similar to those included in Rule 2a-7, as well as any instances of such support provided for the periods presented in the performance statement. For purposes of applying this disclosure requirement, the types of support that should be considered include, but are not limited to, any of the following:
      1. i
        Capital contributions (except pari passu investments)
      2. ii
        Standby letters of credit
      3. iii
        Guarantees of principal and interest on debt investments held by the legal entity
      4. iv
        Agreements to purchase financial assets for amounts greater than fair value (for instance, at amortized cost or par value when the financial assets experience significant credit deterioration)
      5. v
        Waivers of fees, including management fees.

A legal entity shall be subject to consolidation under the guidance in the Variable Interest Entities Subsections if, by design, any of the following conditions exist. (The phrase by design refers to legal entities that meet the conditions in this paragraph because of the way they are structured. For example, a legal entity under the control of its equity investors that originally was not a VIE does not become one because of operating losses. The design of the legal entity is important in the application of these provisions.)
  1. a
    The total equity investment (equity investments in a legal entity are interests that are required to be reported as equity in that entity's financial statements) at risk is not sufficient to permit the legal entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support provided by any parties, including equity holders. For this purpose, the total equity investment at risk has all of the following characteristics:
    1. 1
      Includes only equity investments in the legal entity that participate significantly in profits and losses even if those investments do not carry voting rights
    2. 2
      Does not include equity interests that the legal entity issued in exchange for subordinated interests in other VIEs
    3. 3
      Does not include amounts provided to the equity investor directly or indirectly by the legal entity or by other parties involved with the legal entity (for example, by fees, charitable contributions, or other payments), unless the provider is a parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of the investor that is required to be included in the same set of consolidated financial statements as the investor
    4. 4
      Does not include amounts financed for the equity investor (for example, by loans or guarantees of loans) directly by the legal entity or by other parties involved with the legal entity, unless that party is a parent, subsidiary, or affiliate of the investor that is required to be included in the same set of consolidated financial statements as the investor.
    Paragraphs
    810-10-25-45 through 25-47
    discuss the amount of the total equity investment at risk that is necessary to permit a legal entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support.
  2. b
    As a group the holders of the equity investment at risk lack any one of the following three characteristics:
    1. 1
      The power, through voting rights or similar rights, to direct the activities of a legal entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance.
      1. i
        For legal entities other than limited partnerships, investors lack that power through voting rights or similar rights if no owners hold voting rights or similar rights (such as those of a common shareholder in a corporation). Legal entities that are not controlled by the holder of a majority voting interest because of noncontrolling shareholder veto rights (participating rights) as discussed in paragraphs
        810-10-25-2 through 25-14
        are not VIEs if the holders of the equity investment at risk as a group have the power to control the entity and the equity investment meets the other requirements of the Variable Interest Entities Subsections.
        1. 01
          If no owners hold voting rights or similar rights (such as those of a common shareholder in a corporation) over the activities of a legal entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, kick-out rights or participating rights (according to their VIE definitions) held by the holders of the equity investment at risk shall not prevent interests other than the equity investment from having this characteristic unless a single equity holder (including its related parties and de facto agents) has the unilateral ability to exercise such rights. Alternatively, interests other than the equity investment at risk that provide the holders of those interests with kick-out rights or participating rights shall not prevent the equity holders from having this characteristic unless a single reporting entity (including its related parties and de facto agents) has the unilateral ability to exercise those rights. A decision maker also shall not prevent the equity holders from having this characteristic unless the fees paid to the decision maker represent a variable interest based on paragraphs
          810-10-55-37 through 55-38
          .
      2. ii
        For limited partnerships, partners lack that power if neither (01) nor (02) below exists. The guidance in this subparagraph does not apply to entities in industries (see paragraphs 910-810-45-1 and 932-810-45-1) in which it is appropriate for a general partner to use the pro rata method of consolidation for its investment in a limited partnership (see paragraph 810-10-45-14).
        1. 01
          A simple majority or lower threshold of limited partners (including a single limited partner) with equity at risk is able to exercise substantive kick-out rights (according to their voting interest entity definition) through voting interests over the general partner(s).
          1. A
            For purposes of evaluating the threshold in (01) above, a general partner's kick-out rights held through voting interests shall not be included. Kick-out rights through voting interests held by entities under common control with the general partner or other parties acting on behalf of the general partner also shall not be included.
        2. 02
          Limited partners with equity at risk are able to exercise substantive participating rights (according to their voting interest entity definition) over the general partner(s).
        3. 03
          For purposes of (01) and (02) above, evaluation of the substantiveness of participating rights and kick-out rights shall be based on the guidance included in paragraphs 810-10-25-2 through 25-14C.
    2. 2
      The obligation to absorb the expected losses of the legal entity. The investor or investors do not have that obligation if they are directly or indirectly protected from the expected losses or are guaranteed a return by the legal entity itself or by other parties involved with the legal entity. See paragraphs
      810-10-25-55 through 25-56
      and Example 1 (see paragraph 810-10-55-42) for a discussion of expected losses.
    3. 3
      The right to receive the expected residual returns of the legal entity. The investors do not have that right if their return is capped by the legal entity's governing documents or arrangements with other variable interest holders or the legal entity. For this purpose, the return to equity investors is not considered to be capped by the existence of outstanding stock options, convertible debt, or similar interests because if the options in those instruments are exercised, the holders will become additional equity investors.
    If interests other than the equity investment at risk provide the holders of that investment with these characteristics or if interests other than the equity investment at risk prevent the equity holders from having these characteristics, the entity is a VIE.
  3. c
    The equity investors as a group also are considered to lack the characteristic in (b)(1) if both of the following conditions are present:
    1. 1
      The voting rights of some investors are not proportional to their obligations to absorb the expected losses of the legal entity, their rights to receive the expected residual returns of the legal entity, or both.
    2. 2
      Substantially all of the legal entity's activities (for example, providing financing or buying assets) either involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor that has disproportionately few voting rights. This provision is necessary to prevent a primary beneficiary from avoiding consolidation of a VIE by organizing the legal entity with nonsubstantive voting interests. Activities that involve or are conducted on behalf of the related parties of an investor with disproportionately few voting rights shall be treated as if they involve or are conducted on behalf of that investor. The term related parties in this paragraph refers to all parties identified in paragraph 810-10-25-43, except for de facto agents under paragraph 810-10-25-43(d).
    For purposes of applying this requirement, reporting entities shall consider each party's obligations to absorb expected losses and rights to receive expected residual returns related to all of that party's interests in the legal entity and not only to its equity investment at risk.

The following exceptions to the Variable Interest Entities Subsections apply to all legal entities in addition to the exceptions listed in paragraph 810-10-15-12:
  1. a
    Not-for-profit entities (NFPs) are not subject to the Variable Interest Entities Subsections, except that they may be related parties for purposes of applying paragraphs
    810-10-25-42 through 25-44
    . In addition, if an NFP is used by business reporting entities in a manner similar to a VIE in an effort to circumvent the provisions of the Variable Interest Entities Subsections, that NFP shall be subject to the guidance in the Variable Interest Entities Subsections.
  2. b
    Separate accounts of life insurance entities as described in Topic 944 are not subject to consolidation according to the requirements of the Variable Interest Entities Subsections.
  3. c
    A reporting entity with an interest in a VIE or potential VIE created before December 31, 2003, is not required to apply the guidance in the Variable Interest Entities Subsections to that VIE or legal entity if the reporting entity, after making an exhaustive effort, is unable to obtain the information necessary to do any one of the following:
    1. 1
      Determine whether the legal entity is a VIE
    2. 2
      Determine whether the reporting entity is the VIE's primary beneficiary
    3. 3
      Perform the accounting required to consolidate the VIE for which it is determined to be the primary beneficiary.
    This inability to obtain the necessary information is expected to be infrequent, especially if the reporting entity participated significantly in the design or redesign of the legal entity. The scope exception in this provision applies only as long as the reporting entity continues to be unable to obtain the necessary information. Paragraph 810-10-50-6 requires certain disclosures to be made about interests in VIEs subject to this provision. Paragraphs
    810-10-30-7 through 30-9
    provide transition guidance for a reporting entity that subsequently obtains the information necessary to apply the Variable Interest Entities Subsections to a VIE subject to this exception.
  4. d
    A legal entity that is deemed to be a business need not be evaluated by a reporting entity to determine if the legal entity is a VIE under the requirements of the Variable Interest Entities Subsections unless any of the following conditions exist (however, for legal entities that are excluded by this provision, other generally accepted accounting principles [GAAP] should be applied):
    1. 1
      The reporting entity, its related parties (all parties identified in paragraph 810-10-25-43, except for de facto agents under paragraph 810-10-25-43(d)), or both participated significantly in the design or redesign of the legal entity. However, this condition does not apply if the legal entity is an operating joint venture under joint control of the reporting entity and one or more independent parties or a franchisee.
    2. 2
      The legal entity is designed so that substantially all of its activities either involve or are conducted on behalf of the reporting entity and its related parties.
    3. 3
      The reporting entity and its related parties provide more than half of the total of the equity, subordinated debt, and other forms of subordinated financial support to the legal entity based on an analysis of the fair values of the interests in the legal entity.
    4. 4
      The activities of the legal entity are primarily related to securitizations or other forms of asset-backed financings or single-lessee leasing arrangements.
    A legal entity that previously was not evaluated to determine if it was a VIE because of this provision need not be evaluated in future periods as long as the legal entity continues to meet the conditions in (d).

    The reporting entity and the legal entity are under common control.

    The reporting entity and the legal entity are not under common control of a public business entity.

Applying this accounting alternative is an accounting policy election.

  1. a
    Relationships between entities that operate in the health care industry including the practices of medicine, dentistry, veterinary science, and chiropractic medicine (for convenience, entities engaging in these practices are collectively referred to as physician practices)
  2. b
    Relationships in which the physician practice management entity does not own the majority of the outstanding voting equity instruments of the physician practice, whether because the physician practice management entity is precluded by law from owning those equity instruments or because the physician practice management entity has elected not to own those equity instruments.

A physician practice management entity can establish a controlling financial interest in a physician practice through contractual management arrangements.

The assessment of whether the rights of a noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner should overcome the presumption of consolidation by the investor with a majority voting interest or limited partner with a majority of kick-out rights through voting interests in its investee is a matter of judgment that depends on facts and circumstances. The framework in which such facts and circumstances are judged shall be based on whether the noncontrolling rights, individually or in the aggregate, allow the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner to effectively participate in certain significant financial and operating decisions of the investee that are made in the ordinary course of business.

That is, control does not rest with the majority owner because the investor with the majority voting interest cannot cause the investee to take an action that is significant in the ordinary course of business if it has been vetoed by the noncontrolling shareholder. Similarly, for limited partnerships, control does not rest with the limited partner with the majority of kick-out rights through voting interests if the limited partner cannot cause the general partner to take an action that is significant in the ordinary course of business if it has been vetoed by other limited partners. This assessment of noncontrolling rights shall be made at the time a majority voting interest or a majority of kick-out rights through voting interests is obtained and shall be reassessed if there is a significant change to the terms or in the exercisability of the rights of the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner.

The rights noted in paragraph 810-10-25-11 are participating rights because, in the aggregate, the rights allow the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner to effectively participate in certain significant financial and operating decisions that occur as part of the ordinary course of the investee's business and are significant factors in directing and carrying out the activities of the business.

The following factors shall be considered in evaluating whether noncontrolling rights that appear to be participating are substantive rights, that is, whether these factors provide for effective participation in certain significant financial and operating decisions that are made in the investee's ordinary course of business:
  1. a
    Consideration shall be given to situations in which a majority shareholder or limited partner with a majority of kick-out rights through voting interests owns such a significant portion of the investee that the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner has a small economic interest. As the disparity between the ownership interest of majority and noncontrolling shareholders or between the limited partner with a majority of kick-out rights through voting interests and noncontrolling limited partners increases, the rights of the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner are presumptively more likely to be protective rights and shall raise the level of skepticism about the substance of the right. Similarly, although a majority owner is presumed to control an investee, the level of skepticism about such ability shall increase as the investor's or limited partner's economic interest in the investee decreases.
  2. b
    The governing documents shall be considered to determine at what level decisions are made—at the shareholder or limited partner level or at the board level—and the rights at each level also shall be considered. In all situations, any matters that can be put to a vote of the shareholders or limited partners shall be considered to determine if other investors, individually or in the aggregate, have substantive participating rights by virtue of their ability to vote on matters submitted to a shareholder or limited partner vote.
  3. c
    Relationships between the majority and noncontrolling shareholders or partners (other than an investment in the common investee) that are of a related-party nature, as defined in Topic 850, shall be considered in determining whether the participating rights of the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner are substantive. For example, if the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner in an investee is a member of the immediate family of the majority shareholder, general partner, or limited partner with a majority of kick-out rights through voting interests of the investee, then the rights of the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner likely would not overcome the presumption of consolidation by the investor with a majority voting interest or limited partner with a majority of kick-out rights through voting interests in its investee.
  4. d
    Certain noncontrolling rights may deal with operating or capital decisions that are not significant to the ordinary course of business of the investee. Noncontrolling rights related to decisions that are not considered significant for directing and carrying out the activities of the investee's business are not substantive participating rights and would not overcome the presumption of consolidation by the investor with a majority voting interest or limited partner with a majority of kick-out rights through voting interests in its investee. Examples of such noncontrolling rights include all of the following:
    1. 1
      Location of the investee's headquarters
    2. 2
      Name of the investee
    3. 3
      Selection of auditors
    4. 4
      Selection of accounting principles for purposes of separate reporting of the investee's operations.
  5. e
    Certain noncontrolling rights may provide for the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner to participate in certain significant financial and operating decisions that are made in the investee's ordinary course of business; however, the existence of such noncontrolling rights shall not overcome the presumption that the majority owner shall consolidate, if it is remote that the event or transaction that requires noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner approval will occur. Remote is defined in Topic 450 as the chance of the future event or events occurring being slight.
  6. f
    An owner of a majority voting interest or limited partner with a majority of kick-out rights through voting interests who has a contractual right to buy out the interest of the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner in the investee for fair value or less shall consider the feasibility of exercising that contractual right when determining if the participating rights of the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner are substantive. If such a buyout is prudent, feasible, and substantially within the control of the majority owner, the contractual right to buy out the noncontrolling owner or limited partner demonstrates that the participating right of the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner is not a substantive right. The existence of such call options, for purposes of the General Subsections, negates the participating rights of the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner to veto an action of the majority shareholder or general partner, rather than create an additional ownership interest for that majority shareholder. It would not be prudent, feasible, and substantially within the control of the majority owner to buy out the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner if, for example, either of the following conditions exists:
    1. 1
      The noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner controls technology that is critical to the investee.
    2. 2
      The noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner is the principal source of funding for the investee.

For legal entities that issue both senior interests and subordinated interests, the determination of which variability shall be considered often will be affected by whether the subordination (that is, the priority on claims to the legal entity's cash flows) is substantive. The subordinated interest(s) (as discussed in paragraph 810-10-55-23) generally will absorb expected losses prior to the senior interest(s). As a consequence, the senior interest generally has a higher credit rating and lower interest rate compared with the subordinated interest. The amount of a subordinated interest in relation to the overall expected losses and residual returns of the legal entity often is the primary factor in determining whether such subordination is substantive. The variability that is absorbed by an interest that is substantively subordinated strongly indicates a particular variability that the legal entity was designed to create and pass along to its interest holders. If the subordinated interest is considered equity-at-risk, as that term is used in paragraph 810-10-15-14, that equity can be considered substantive for the purpose of determining the variability to be considered, even if it is not deemed sufficient under paragraphs 810-10-15-14(a) and 810-10-25-45.

A reporting entity does not have to exercise its power in order to have power to direct the activities of a VIE.

Single Decision Maker—The assessment in this paragraph shall be applied only by a single reporting entity that meets the characteristic in paragraph 810-10-25-38A(a). For purposes of determining whether that single reporting entity, which is a single decision maker, is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the single decision maker shall include all of its direct variable interests in the entity and, on a proportionate basis, its indirect variable interests in the entity held through related parties (the term related parties in this paragraph refers to all parties as defined in paragraph 810-10-25-43). For example, if the single decision maker owns a 20 percent interest in a related party and that related party owns a 40 percent interest in the entity being evaluated, the single decision maker's indirect interest in the VIE held through the related party would be equivalent to an 8 percent direct interest in the VIE for purposes of evaluating the characteristic in paragraph 810-10-25-38A(b) (assuming it has no other relationships with the entity).

For example, if a single decision maker's employees have a 30 percent interest in the VIE and one third of that interest was financed by the single decision maker, then the single decision maker's indirect interest in the VIE through the financing would be equivalent to a 10 percent direct interest in the VIE.

For purposes of applying the guidance in the Variable Interest Entities Subsections, unless otherwise specified, the term related parties includes those parties identified in Topic 850 and certain other parties that are acting as de facto agents or de facto principals of the variable interest holder. All of the following are considered to be de facto agents of a reporting entity:
  1. a
    A party that cannot finance its operations without subordinated financial support from the reporting entity, for example, another VIE of which the reporting entity is the primary beneficiary
  2. b
    A party that received its interests as a contribution or a loan from the reporting entity
  3. c
    An officer, employee, or member of the governing board of the reporting entity
  4. d
    A party that has an agreement that it cannot sell, transfer, or encumber its interests in the VIE without the prior approval of the reporting entity. The right of prior approval creates a de facto agency relationship only if that right could constrain the other party's ability to manage the economic risks or realize the economic rewards from its interests in a VIE through the sale, transfer, or encumbrance of those interests. However, a de facto agency relationship does not exist if both the reporting entity and the party have right of prior approval and the rights are based on mutually agreed terms by willing, independent parties.

The design of the legal entity (for example, its capital structure) and the apparent intentions of the parties that created the legal entity are important qualitative considerations, as are ratings of its outstanding debt (if any), the interest rates, and other terms of its financing arrangements. Often, no single factor will be conclusive and the determination will be based on the preponderance of evidence. For example, if a legal entity does not have a limited life and tightly constrained activities, if there are no unusual arrangements that appear designed to provide subordinated financial support, if its equity interests do not appear designed to require other subordinated financial support, and if the entity has been able to obtain commercial financing arrangements on customary terms, the equity would be expected to be sufficient. In contrast, if a legal entity has a very small equity investment relative to other entities with similar activities and has outstanding subordinated debt that obviously is effectively a replacement for an additional equity investment, the equity would not be expected to be sufficient.

The identification of explicit variable interests involves determining which contractual, ownership, or other pecuniary interests in a legal entity directly absorb or receive the variability of the legal entity. An implicit variable interest acts the same as an explicit variable interest except it involves the absorbing and (or) receiving of variability indirectly from the legal entity, rather than directly from the legal entity. Therefore, the identification of an implicit variable interest involves determining whether a reporting entity may be indirectly absorbing or receiving the variability of the legal entity. The determination of whether an implicit variable interest exists is a matter of judgment that depends on the relevant facts and circumstances. For example, an implicit variable interest may exist if the reporting entity can be required to protect a variable interest holder in a legal entity from absorbing losses incurred by the legal entity.

The physician practice management entity's exclusive decision-making authority over the physician practice's scope of services is not considered refuted if the range of medical disciplines in which the physician practice practices is set by mutual agreement of the physician practice management entity and the physician practice in the initial negotiation of the management agreement. Some examples of different medical disciplines are cardiology, neurology, obstetrics, ophthalmology, and radiology. Lack of physician practice management entity exclusive decision-making authority over initial and ongoing scope of service decisions within the physician practice's selected medical disciplines would, however, preclude a conclusion that the physician practice management entity controls the physician practice.

  1. a
    The legal entity's governing documents or contractual arrangements are changed in a manner that changes the characteristics or adequacy of the legal entity's equity investment at risk.
  2. b
    The equity investment or some part thereof is returned to the equity investors, and other interests become exposed to expected losses of the legal entity.
  3. c
    The legal entity undertakes additional activities or acquires additional assets, beyond those that were anticipated at the later of the inception of the entity or the latest reconsideration event, that increase the entity's expected losses.
  4. d
    The legal entity receives an additional equity investment that is at risk, or the legal entity curtails or modifies its activities in a way that decreases its expected losses.
  5. e
    Changes in facts and circumstances occur such that the holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance.

When a parent deconsolidates a subsidiary or derecognizes a group of assets within the scope of paragraph 810-10-40-3A, the parent relationship ceases to exist. The parent no longer controls the subsidiary's assets and liabilities or the group of assets. The parent therefore shall derecognize the assets, liabilities, and equity components related to that subsidiary or group of assets. The equity components will include any noncontrolling interest as well as amounts previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income. If the subsidiary or group of assets being deconsolidated or derecognized is a foreign entity (or represents the complete or substantially complete liquidation of the foreign entity in which it resides), then the amount of accumulated other comprehensive income that is reclassified and included in the calculation of gain or loss shall include any foreign currency translation adjustment related to that foreign entity. For guidance on derecognizing foreign currency translation adjustments recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, see Section 830-30-40.

A parent may cease to have a controlling financial interest in a subsidiary through two or more arrangements (transactions). Circumstances sometimes indicate that the multiple arrangements should be accounted for as a single transaction. In determining whether to account for the arrangements as a single transaction, a parent shall consider all of the terms and conditions of the arrangements and their economic effects. Any of the following may indicate that the parent should account for the multiple arrangements as a single transaction:
  1. aThey are entered into at the same time or in contemplation of one another.
  2. bThey form a single transaction designed to achieve an overall commercial effect.
  3. cThe occurrence of one arrangement is dependent on the occurrence of at least one other arrangement.
  4. dOne arrangement considered on its own is not economically justified, but they are economically justified when considered together. An example is when one disposal is priced below market, compensated for by a subsequent disposal priced above market.

Examples of how to assess individual noncontrolling rights facilitate the understanding of how to assess whether the rights of the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner should be considered protective or participating and, if participating, whether the rights are substantive. An assessment is relevant for determining whether noncontrolling rights overcome the presumption of control by the majority shareholder or limited partner with a majority of kick-out rights through voting interests in an entity under the General Subsections of this Subtopic. Although the following examples illustrate the assessment of participating rights or protective rights, the evaluation should consider all of the factors identified in paragraph 810-10-25-13 to determine whether the noncontrolling rights, individually or in the aggregate, provide for the holders of those rights to effectively participate in certain significant financial and operating decisions that are made in the ordinary course of business:
  1. a
    The rights of the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner relating to the approval of acquisitions and dispositions of assets that are expected to be undertaken in the ordinary course of business may be substantive participating rights. Rights related only to acquisitions that are not expected to be undertaken in the ordinary course of the investee's existing business usually are protective and would not overcome the presumption of consolidation by the investor with a majority voting interest or limited partner with a majority of kick-out rights through voting interests in its investee. Whether a right to approve the acquisition or disposition of assets is in the ordinary course of business should be based on an evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances. In addition, if approval by the shareholder or limited partner is necessary to incur additional indebtedness to finance an acquisition that is not in the investee's ordinary course of business, then the approval by the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner would be considered a protective right.
  2. b
    Existing facts and circumstances should be considered in assessing whether the rights of the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner relating to an investee's incurring additional indebtedness are protective or participating rights. For example, if it is reasonably possible or probable that the investee will need to incur the level of borrowings that requires noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner approval in its ordinary course of business, the rights of the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner would be viewed as substantive participating rights.
  3. c
    The rights of the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner relating to dividends or other distributions may be protective or participating and should be assessed in light of the available facts and circumstances. For example, rights to block customary or expected dividends or other distributions may be substantive participating rights, while rights to block extraordinary distributions would be protective rights.
  4. d
    The rights of the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner relating to an investee's specific action (for example, to lease property) in an existing business may be protective or participating and should be assessed in light of the available facts and circumstances. For example, if the investee had the ability to purchase, rather than lease, the property without requiring approval of the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner, then the rights of the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner to block the investee from entering into a lease would not be substantive.
  5. e
    The rights of the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner relating to an investee's negotiation of collective bargaining agreements with unions may be protective or participating and should be assessed in light of the available facts and circumstances. For example, if an investee does not have a collective bargaining agreement with a union or if the union does not represent a substantial portion of the investee's work force, then the rights of the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner to approve or veto a new or broader collective bargaining agreement are not substantive.
  6. f
    Provisions that govern what will occur if the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner blocks the action of an owner of a majority voting interest or general partner need to be considered to determine whether the right of the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner to block the action has substance. For example, if the shareholder or partnership agreement provides that if the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner blocks the approval of an operating budget, then the budget simply defaults to last year's budget adjusted for inflation, and if the investee is a mature business for which year-to-year operating budgets would not be expected to vary significantly, then the rights of the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner to block the approval of the operating budget do not allow the noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner to effectively participate and are not substantive.
  7. g
    Noncontrolling rights relating to the initiation or resolution of a lawsuit may be considered protective or participating depending on the available facts and circumstances. For example, if lawsuits are a part of the entity's ordinary course of business, as is the case for some patent-holding companies and other entities, then the noncontrolling rights may be considered substantive participating rights.
  8. h
    A noncontrolling shareholder or limited partner has the right to veto the annual operating budget for the first X years of the relationship. Based on the facts and circumstances, during the first X years of the relationship this right may be a substantive participating right. However, following Year X there is a significant change in the exercisability of the noncontrolling right (for example, the veto right terminates). As of the beginning of the period following Year X, that right would no longer be a substantive participating right and would not overcome the presumption of consolidation by the investor with a majority voting interest or limited partner with a majority of kick-out rights through voting interests in its investee.

To justify the preparation of consolidated financial statements, the controlling financial interest shall rest directly or indirectly in one of the entities included in the consolidation.

For example, combined financial statements would be useful if one individual owns a controlling financial interest in several entities that are related in their operations. Combined financial statements might also be used to present the financial position and results of operations of entities under common management.

These paragraphs expand on the guidance in paragraph 810-10-25-16. A last-in, first-out (LIFO) liquidation (also called a decrement) occurs when the number of units (or total base year cost if dollar value LIFO is used) in a LIFO pool at year end is less than that at the beginning of the year, causing prior years' costs, rather than current year's costs, to be charged to current year's income. For example, in periods of rising prices, prior years' costs are less than current year's costs and, in such periods, charging prior years' costs to current year's income results in reporting current year's net income higher than it would be reported without a liquidation.

Accounting for a LIFO liquidation is more complex with intra-entity transfers of inventories. Paragraph 810-10-10-1 states that the purpose of consolidated financial statements is to present the results of operations and the financial position of the parent and its subsidiaries as if the consolidated group were a single economic entity.

Results of operations and financial position, therefore, shall not be affected solely because of inventory transfers within a reporting entity.

Even though the percentage of Entity ABC's ownership interest in Subsidiary A is reduced when Subsidiary A issues shares to the third party, Entity ABC's investment in Subsidiary A increases to $315,000, calculated as 75 percent of Subsidiary A's equity of $420,000 ($300,000 + $120,000). Therefore, Entity ABC recognizes a $45,000 increase in its investment in Subsidiary A ($315,000 - $270,000) and a corresponding increase in its additional paid-in capital (that is, the additional paid-in capital attributable to Entity ABC). In addition, the noncontrolling interest is increased to $105,000, calculated as 25 percent of $420,000. If the parent is an NFP, the $45,000 increase in additional paid-in capital in this example is recognized instead as an increase in net assets, generally of the without donor restrictions class. Example 1 (see paragraphs
958-810-55-17 through 55-25

This Example involves all of the following assumptions:
  1. a
    Entity ABC has one subsidiary, Subsidiary A.
  2. b
    The tax rate for all years is 40 percent.
  3. c
    Entity ABC has 200,000 shares of common stock outstanding and pays dividends of $10,000 each year on those common shares. Entity ABC has no potentially dilutive shares.
  4. d
    Subsidiary A has 10,000 shares of common stock outstanding and does not pay dividends.
  5. e
    Entity ABC owns all 10,000 shares in Subsidiary A for the entire year 20X1.
  6. f
    On June 30, 20X1, Subsidiary A purchases a portfolio of securities for $100,000 and classifies those securities as available for sale.
  7. g
    On December 31, 20X1, the carrying amount of the available-for-sale securities is $105,000.
  8. h
    For the year ended December 31, 20X1, the amount of Subsidiary A's net income included in the consolidated financial statements is $24,000.
  9. i
    On January 1, 20X2, Entity ABC sells 2,000 of its shares in Subsidiary A to an unrelated entity for $50,000 in cash, reducing its ownership interest from 100 percent to 80 percent.
  10. j
    Immediately before the January 1, 20X2 sale, Subsidiary A's equity was as follows:
    • \"
      Subsidiary A Common stock \" $25,000 \" Paid-in capital \" 50,000 \" Retained earnings \" 125,000 \" Accumulated other comprehensive income \" 5,000 \" Total equity \" $205,000 \"
  11. k
    The January 1, 20X2 sale of Subsidiary A's shares by Entity ABC is accounted for as an equity transaction in the consolidated financial statements, as follows:
    1. 1
      A noncontrolling interest is recognized in the amount of $41,000 ($205,000 × 20 percent).
    2. 2
      Additional paid-in capital attributable to Entity ABC is increased by $9,000, calculated as the difference between the cash received ($50,000) and the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest ($41,000).
    3. 3
      Additional paid-in capital attributable to Entity ABC is also increased by $1,000, which represents the carrying amount of Subsidiary A's accumulated other comprehensive income related to the ownership interest sold to the noncontrolling interest ($5,000 × 20 percent = $1,000). Accumulated other comprehensive income attributable to Entity ABC is decreased by a corresponding amount.
    4. 4
      The journal entry to record the sale of Subsidiary A's shares to the noncontrolling shareholders is as follows:

  13. m
    On January 1, 20X3, Entity ABC purchases 1,000 shares in Subsidiary A from the noncontrolling shareholders (50 percent of the noncontrolling interest) for $30,000 for cash, increasing its ownership interest from 80 percent to 90 percent.
  14. n
    Immediately before the January 1, 20X3 purchase, the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest in Subsidiary A was $48,000, which included $4,000 in accumulated other comprehensive income.
  15. o
    The January 1, 20X3 purchase of shares from the noncontrolling shareholders is accounted for as an equity transaction in the consolidated financial statements, as follows:
    1. 1
      The noncontrolling interest balance is reduced by $24,000 ($48,000 × 50 percent interest acquired by Entity ABC).
    2. 2
      Additional paid-in capital of Entity ABC is decreased by $6,000, calculated as the difference between the cash paid ($30,000) and the adjustment to the carrying amount of the noncontrolling interest ($24,000).
    3. 3
      Additional paid-in capital of Entity ABC is also decreased by $2,000, which represents the carrying amount of Subsidiary A's accumulated other comprehensive income related to the ownership interest purchased from the noncontrolling shareholders ($4,000 × 50 percent = $2,000).
    4. 4
      Accumulated comprehensive income attributable to Entity ABC is increased by a corresponding amount ($2,000).
    5. 5
      The journal entry to record that purchase of Subsidiary A's shares from the noncontrolling shareholders is as follows:

Assume that a limited partnership has 3 limited partners, none of which have any relationship to the general partners, and that each holds an equal amount of the limited partnership's kick-out rights through voting interests (33.33 percent). In this Case, applying the simple majority requirement in the partnership agreement would require a vote of no more than two of the three limited partners to remove the general partners. Presuming the kick-out rights are substantive, a limited partnership that entitles any individual limited partner to remove the general partner or a limited partnership that requires a vote of two of the limited partners to remove the general partner would not meet the condition in paragraph 810-10-15-14(b)(1)(ii), meaning the partners would not lack the power through voting rights or similar rights to direct the activities of the partnership that most significantly impact the partnership's economic performance. Therefore, assuming none of the other criteria in paragraph 810-10-15-14 are met for the limited partnership to be considered a variable interest entity (VIE), the limited partnership would be considered a voting interest entity.

The shareholders in each series fund lack the ability at a series-specific level to remove and replace the Board of Trustees of the (umbrella) trust, because the shareholders in each series fund are required to vote on an aggregate basis to exercise that right. However, based on an evaluation of the purpose and design of each series fund, the shareholders in each series fund are able to direct the activities of the funds that most significantly impact the funds' economic performance through their voting rights. For example, the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Fund A, which include making decisions on how to invest the assets of that fund, are carried out by the asset management company. However, the shareholders of Fund A are able to effectively direct those activities through the voting rights in paragraph 810-10-55-8E(b) through (d). Shareholders of Fund A lack the unilateral ability to remove and replace the Board of Trustees. However, because shareholders have the ability to directly remove and replace the asset management company, approve the compensation of the asset management company, and vote on the investment strategy of Fund A, the investors are deemed to have the power through voting rights to direct the activities of Fund A that most significantly impact the fund's economic performance in accordance with paragraph 810-10-15-14(b)(1). Therefore, assuming none of the other criteria in paragraph 810-10-15-14 are met for Fund A to be considered a VIE, Fund A would be considered a voting interest entity.

The Variable Interest Entities Subsections provide guidance for identifying entities for which analysis of voting interests, and the holdings of those voting interests, is not effective in determining whether a controlling financial interest exists because the holders of the equity investment at risk do not have sufficient equity at risk for the legal entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support or because they lack any of the following:
  1. a
    The power, through voting rights or similar rights, to direct the activities of a legal entity that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance
  2. b
    The obligation to absorb the expected losses of the legal entity
  3. c

Those entities are called variable interest entities (VIEs). The Variable Interest Entities Subsections also provide guidance for determining whether a reporting entity shall consolidate a VIE. A reporting entity that consolidates a VIE is called the primary beneficiary of that VIE. This Subsection provides guidance for identifying variable interests in a VIE.

For a legal entity that is not a VIE (sometimes called a voting interest entity), all of the legal entity's assets, liabilities, and other contracts are deemed to create variability, and the equity investment is deemed to be sufficient to absorb the expected amount of that variability. In contrast, VIEs are designed so that some of the entity's assets, liabilities, and other contracts create variability and some of the entity's assets, liabilities, and other contracts (as well as its equity at risk) absorb or receive that variability.

The identification of variable interests involves determining which assets, liabilities, or contracts create the legal entity's variability and which assets, liabilities, equity, and other contracts absorb or receive that variability. The latter are the legal entity's variable interests. The labeling of an item as an asset, liability, equity, or as a contractual arrangement does not determine whether that item is a variable interest. It is the role of the item—to absorb or receive the legal entity's variability—that distinguishes a variable interest. That role, in turn, often depends on the design of the legal entity.

Equity investments in a VIE are variable interests to the extent they are at risk. (Equity investments at risk are described in paragraph 810-10-15-14.)

Fees or payments in connection with agreements that expose a reporting entity (the decision maker or the service provider) to risk of loss in the VIE would not be eligible for the evaluation in paragraph 810-10-55-37. Those fees include, but are not limited to, the following:
  1. a
    Those related to guarantees of the value of the assets or liabilities of a VIE
  2. b
    Obligations to fund operating losses
  3. c

For purposes of evaluating the conditions in paragraph 810-10-55-37, any variable interest in an entity that is held by a related party of the decision maker or service provider should be considered in the analysis. Specifically, a decision maker or service provider should include its direct variable interests in the entity and its indirect variable interests in the entity held through related parties, considered on a proportionate basis. For example, if a decision maker or service provider owns a 20 percent interest in a related party and that related party owns a 40 percent interest in the entity being evaluated, the decision maker's or service provider's interest would be considered equivalent to an 8 percent direct interest in the entity for the purposes of evaluating whether the fees paid to the decision maker(s) or the service provider(s) are not variable interests (assuming that they have no other relationships with the entity). The term related parties in this paragraph refers to all parties as defined in paragraph 810-10-25-43, with the following exceptions:
  1. a
    An employee of the decision maker or service provider (and its other related parties), except if the employee is used in an effort to circumvent the provisions of the Variable Interest Entities Subsections of this Subtopic.
  2. b
    An employee benefit plan of the decision maker or service provider (and its other related parties), except if the employee benefit plan is used in an effort to circumvent the provisions of the Variable Interest Entities Subsections of this Subtopic.
For purposes of evaluating the conditions in paragraph 810-10-55-37, the quantitative approach described in the definitions of the terms expected losses, expected residual returns, and expected variability is not required and should not be the sole determinant as to whether a reporting entity meets such conditions.

Receivables under an operating lease are assets of the lessor entity and provide returns to the lessor entity with respect to the leased property during that portion of the asset's life that is covered by the lease.

Entities will not necessarily be able to estimate probabilities to use a precise computation of the type illustrated, but they should use their best efforts to achieve the objective described. This Example is based on a hypothetical pool of financial assets with total contractual cash flows of $1 billion and has the following assumptions:
  1. a
    A single party holds all of the beneficial interests in the VIE, and the VIE has no liabilities.
  2. b
    There is no decision maker because the VIE's activities are completely predetermined.

This Example illustrates the calculation of expected losses if a legal entity has no history of net losses and expects continued profitability. This Example has the following assumptions:
  1. a
    On January 1, 2004, Entity A is formed to purchase a building, 95 percent of which is financed by debt and 5 percent by equity. The lenders will have recourse only to the building in the event that Entity A does not make the required debt payments.

    On the same day, Entity B enters into a five-year-market-rate lease for the building from Entity A that includes a guarantee of a portion of the building's residual value. The sum of the present value of the lease payments and the residual value guarantee is less than substantially all the fair value of the building.

The estimated annual outcomes in the Example include both estimated cash flows and the estimated fair value of Entity A's assets to be distributed to variable interest holders in lieu of cash, exclusive of cash flows (or flows of other assets) to and from variable interests. The guarantee is a variable interest in Entity A because it is an interest in assets with a fair value that is more than half of the total fair value of Entity A's assets. Therefore, losses absorbed by the residual value guarantee are losses of Entity A and are included in the outcomes used to calculate expected losses. For calculation simplicity, the estimated outcomes, which include both cash flows and changes in the fair value of Entity A's net assets, and related probabilities are assumed to be the same each year of the five-year lease, and at the end of the lease, the carrying value of the building is assumed to be its fair value.

At the end of three years, all the investments will be sold with proceeds used, first, to pay the fixed-rate debt holders and, second, to pay the equity holders to the extent proceeds remain. The transaction was marketed to potential debt investors as an investment in a portfolio of below-investment-grade, fixed-rate investments with a longer weighted-average maturity than the liabilities and credit support from the equity tranche. The equity tranche was negotiated to absorb the first dollar risk of loss related to credit risk and interest rate risk and to receive any residual reward from a favorable change in interest rates or credit risk that affects the proceeds received on the sale of the investments in the portfolio. The following diagram illustrates this situation.

A VIE is created and financed with $96 of 3-year fixed-rate debt and $4 of equity from investors. The VIE uses the proceeds to purchase $40 of B- and BB-rated fixed-rate securities with contractual maturities ranging from 6 to 8 years and $60 of B- and BB-rated floating-rate securities with contractual maturities ranging from 6 to 8 years (average maturity of 7 years). In addition, the VIE enters into a $60 notional 7-year pay floating and receive fixed interest rate swap with a bank. The swap economically converts the $60 of floating-rate investments to fixed-rate investments of the same average maturity.

    The swap counterparty is senior to the debt and equity investors, and the debt and equity investors understand that they are also exposed to the credit risk from possible default by the swap counterparty to the extent the swap is an asset to the VIE.
  3. c
    The interest rate swap is strongly indicated as a creator of variability because its underlying is based on observable market rates and it is senior in priority to other interest holders. Although the notional amount of the swap relates to a majority of the assets of the VIE, changes in the cash flows or fair value of the swap are not expected to offset all, or essentially all, of the risk or return (or both) related to those investments because the fair value and cash flows of the VIE's investments are expected to be affected by risk factors other than changes in market interest rates (that is, credit risk).

A VIE is created and financed with $96 of 5-year fixed-rate debt and $4 of equity from investors. The VIE uses the proceeds to purchase $100 of B- and BB-rated fixed-rate securities denominated in Japanese Yen (JPY) with contractual maturities of 5 years. In addition, the VIE enters into a $100 notional 5-year pay-fixed JPY and receive-fixed U.S. dollars (USD) cross-currency swap with a bank. The swap economically converts the fixed-rate JPY-denominated investments to fixed-rate USD investments, effectively offsetting the foreign exchange risk from both periodic interest payments and the amount due upon maturity for the JPY-denominated investments. At the end of five years, all the investments will mature and a final settlement will be paid or received by the VIE on the swap, with the net proceeds used, first, to pay the fixed-rate debt holders and, second, to pay the equity holders to the extent proceeds remain. The transaction was marketed to debt investors as an investment in a portfolio of below-investment-grade, JPY fixed-rate investments (with a third-party swap designed to offset the JPY exchange risk associated with interest and principal repayment on the investments) and credit support from the equity tranche.

Bank A holds a $100 investment in bonds issued by ABC Entity and enters into a credit default swap with a newly established VIE that has no equity investors and no decision-making ability. The VIE issues $100 of credit-linked notes to investors. The credit-linked notes pay a return equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) + 90 basis points and mature in 5 years. The proceeds from the issuance of the credit-linked notes are invested in floating-rate AAA-rated investments. The terms of the credit default swap require Bank A to pay quarterly a swap premium of 100 basis points to the VIE.

The following factors should be considered in the determination of the purpose(s) for which the VIE was created and in the determination of the variability the VIE is designed to create and pass along to its interest holders:
  1. a
    The VIE was marketed to the note holders as a VIE that will be exposed to credit risk associated with ABC Entity through the credit default swap, with a small amount of credit risk from Bank A, because the notes, if there is no credit event that triggers settlement of the credit default swap, are fully collateralized by AAA-rated investments.
  2. b
    The VIE has sold credit protection on ABC Entity to Bank A and has purchased credit protection on ABC Entity from the note holders, who are expected to receive an enhanced return over the AAA floating rate investment for assuming the credit risk of ABC Entity and (to a lesser extent) the credit risk of Bank A.
  3. c
    The written credit default swap is strongly indicated as a creator of variability because its underlying is based on observable market variables and it is senior in priority to other interest holders.
  4. d
    The VIE was not designed to create and pass along to its interest holders interest rate risk associated with changes in cash flows from the periodic interest payments received on the floating-rate investments, based on the nature and terms of the credit-linked notes issued by the VIE.
Based on this analysis, it can be determined that the VIE was designed to create and pass along the risks in (a), (b), and (c) in the preceding paragraph to the note holders, which are the VIE's variable interest holders.

A VIE is created and financed with $950 of 5-year fixed-rate debt and $50 of equity. The VIE uses the proceeds from the issuance to purchase an underlying asset to be leased to a lessee with a AA credit rating. The equity provides protection (up to $50) to the debt related to both credit risk and interest rate risk because the debt is paid before any cash flows are available to the equity investors. The lease has a five-year term and is classified as a direct financing lease by the lessor and as an operating lease by the lessee. The lessee is required to provide a first-loss residual value guarantee for the expected future value of the underlying asset at the end of five years, and it has a fixed-price purchase option to acquire the underlying asset for the same amount. A third-party residual value guarantor provides a very small additional residual value guarantee to the lessor. The governing documents for the VIE do not permit the VIE to buy additional assets or sell existing assets during the five-year holding period. The VIE was formed so that the lessee will have rights to occupy and use the underlying asset under an operating lease and retain substantially all of the risks and rewards from appreciation or depreciation in value of the underlying asset. The transaction was marketed to potential investors as an investment in a portfolio of AA-rated assets collateralized by an underlying asset that would provide a fixed-rate return to debt holders equivalent to AA-rated assets. The return to equity investors is expected to be slightly greater than the return provided to the debt investors because the equity is subordinated with respect to the obligation of the lessee to the VIE.

The following factors should be considered in the determination of the purpose(s) for which the VIE was created and in the determination of the variability the VIE is designed to create and pass along to its interest holders:
  1. a
    Although the lease payments are fixed, the VIE was not designed to be exposed to interim changes in fair value of those lease payments due to interest rate risk because the VIE is not expected to sell the underlying asset before maturity of the fixed-rate debt.
  2. b
    The primary purpose for which the VIE was created was to provide the lessee with use of the underlying asset for five years with substantially all of the rights and obligations of ownership.
  3. c
    The residual value guarantee effectively transfers substantially all of the risk associated with the underlying asset (that is, declines in value) to the lessee. Therefore, the variability that is transferred to that interest holder is strongly indicated as variability that the VIE is designed to create and pass along to its interest holders.
  4. d
    The fixed-price purchase option effectively transfers substantially all of the rewards from the underlying asset (that is, increases in value) to the lessee.
  5. e
    The VIE is designed to be exposed to the risks associated with a cumulative change in fair value of the underlying asset at the end of five years as well as credit risk from possible default by the lessee with regard to lease payments.
  6. f
    The VIE was marketed to potential investors as an investment in a portfolio of AA-rated assets collateralized by an underlying asset that would provide a fixed-rate return to debt holders equivalent to AA-rated assets.
  7. g
    The role of the residual value guarantee and fixed-price purchase option in the design of the VIE, regardless of their legal form or accounting classification, dictates whether those interests shall be treated as creating risk for the VIE or absorbing risk from the VIE. Therefore, price risk with respect to changes in fair value of the underlying asset is a relevant risk for the VIE, even though the lessor VIE records a net investment in the direct financing lease, rather than the underlying asset itself, on its balance sheet for accounting purposes.
Based on this analysis, it can be determined that the VIE was designed to create and pass along the risk in (a) in paragraph 810-10-55-79 to the third-party guarantor and the lessee (with respect to the residual value guarantee and fixed-price purchase option) and the risk in (b) in paragraph 810-10-55-79 to the note and equity holders, all of which are the VIE's variable interest holders.

A financially distressed electricity producer wishes to monetize some of its in-the-money forward positions. One such contract is a physically settled forward contract to sell electricity to Party A at a fixed price one year in the future. A VIE is created and financed with $100 of 1-year fixed-rate debt from investors for the purpose of monetizing the value of the forward contract to sell for the electricity producer. The VIE uses the proceeds from issuance to purchase the physically settled forward contract to sell (from the VIE's perspective) electricity to Party A at a fixed price one year in the future. This contract is in-the-money by $100. After the electricity producer has received its $100, it has no further involvement with the VIE. The VIE enters into a separate at-market forward contract to buy (from the VIE's perspective) electricity at a lower fixed price from Party B on the same future date. Both forward contracts will be physically settled, and all other critical terms (except the fixed settlement price) of the two forward contracts are the same. Both forward contracts have rights senior to those of the investors and are derivatives whose underlying is a market observable price. The VIE is not actively managed.

    The VIE was designed to hold offsetting positions with respect to electricity price risk through a forward purchase contract and a forward sales contract with terms that are the same (except for fixed settlement price).
  2. b
    The debt was marketed to the investors as a fixed-rate one-year investment with an enhanced yield due to risk of possible default by either Party A or Party B with respect to their forward contracts with the VIE.
  3. c
    To the extent electricity prices rise and the forward purchase contract (with Party B) increases in value (from the VIE's perspective), the debt investors will be exposed to credit risk to the extent that Party B defaults on its obligation.
  4. d
    To the extent electricity prices drop and the forward sales contract increases in value (from the VIE's perspective), the debt investors will be exposed to credit risk to the extent that Party A defaults on its obligation.
  5. e
    The forward to buy electricity at a fixed price is strongly indicated as a creator of variability because its underlying is based on observable market prices and it is senior in priority to the debt holders.
  6. f
    The forward to sell electricity at a fixed price is strongly indicated as a creator of variability because its underlying is based on observable market prices and is senior in priority to the debt holders.
  7. g
    Changes in fair value of each forward contract are expected to offset all, or essentially all, of the risk and return related to the other forward contract, so a further analysis of the design of the VIE is necessary in order to conclude whether each forward contract is a creator of variability or a variable interest.

The equity is held by a third party, who is also the special servicer. The equity tranche was designed to absorb the first dollar risk of loss and to receive any residual return from the VIE. The VIE uses the proceeds to purchase $100 of BB-rated fixed-rate commercial mortgage loans with contractual maturities of 7 years from a transferor. The commercial mortgage loans contain provisions that require each borrower to pay the full scheduled interest and principal if the loan is extinguished prior to maturity.

To evaluate the facts and circumstances and determine which reporting entity, if any, is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, paragraph 810-10-25-38A requires that a reporting entity determine the purpose and design of the VIE, including the risks that the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders. In making this assessment, the variable interest holders of the VIE determined the following:
  1. a
    The primary purposes for which the VIE was created were to provide liquidity to the transferor to originate additional loans and to provide investors with the ability to invest in a pool of commercial mortgage loans.
  2. b
    The VIE was marketed to debt investors as a VIE that would be exposed to the credit risk associated with the possible default by the borrowers with respect to principal and interest payments, with the equity tranche designed to absorb the first dollar risk of loss. Additionally, the marketing of the transaction indicated that such risks would be mitigated by subordination of the equity tranche.
  3. c
    The VIE is not exposed to prepayment risk because the commercial mortgage loans contain provisions that require the borrower to pay the full scheduled interest and principal if the loan is extinguished prior to maturity.

Paragraph 810-10-25-38B requires that a reporting entity identify which activities most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and determine whether it has the power to direct those activities. The economic performance of the VIE is most significantly impacted by the performance of its underlying assets. Thus, the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance are the activities that most significantly impact the performance of the underlying assets. The special servicer has the ability to manage the VIE's assets that are delinquent or in default to improve the economic performance of the VIE. Additionally, the special servicer, as the equity holder, can approve budgets, leases, and property managers on foreclosed property. The special servicing activities are performed only upon delinquency or default of the underlying assets. However, a reporting entity's ability to direct the activities of a VIE when circumstances arise or events happen constitutes power if that ability relates to the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE. A reporting entity does not have to exercise its power in order to have power to direct the activities of a VIE. The special servicer's involvement in the design of the VIE does not, in isolation, result in the special servicer being the primary beneficiary of the VIE. However, in this situation, that involvement indicated that the special servicer had the opportunity and the incentive to establish arrangements that result in the special servicer being the variable interest holder with the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance.

To evaluate the facts and circumstances and determine which reporting entity, if any, is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, paragraph 810-10-25-38A requires that a reporting entity determine the purpose and design of the VIE, including the risks that the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders. In making this assessment, the variable interest holders of the VIE determined the following:
  1. a
    The primary purposes for which the VIE was created were to provide investors with the ability to invest in a pool of asset-backed securities, to earn a positive spread between the interest that the VIE earns on its portfolio and the interest paid to the debt investors, and to generate management fees for the manager.
  2. b
    The transaction was marketed to potential debt investors as an investment in a portfolio of asset-backed securities with exposure to the credit risk associated with the possible default by the issuers of the asset-backed securities in the portfolio and to the interest rate risk associated with the management of the portfolio. Additionally, the marketing of the transaction indicated that such risks would be mitigated by the support from the equity tranche.
  3. c
    The equity tranche was designed to absorb the first dollar risk of loss related to credit risk and interest rate risk and to receive any residual returns from a favorable change in interest rates or credit risk that affects the proceeds received on the sale of asset-backed securities in the portfolio.

If a reporting entity has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance, then under the requirements of paragraph 810-10-25-38A, that reporting entity also is required to determine whether it has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The manager, as the 35 percent equity tranche holder, has the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits.

To evaluate the facts and circumstances and determine which reporting entity, if any, is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, paragraph 810-10-25-38A requires that a reporting entity determine the purpose and design of the VIE, including the risks that the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders. In making this assessment, the variable interest holders of the VIE determined the following:
  1. a
    The primary purposes for which the VIE was created were to provide investors with the ability to invest in a pool of high-quality debt, to maximize the spread it earns on its asset portfolio over its weighted-average cost of funding, and to generate management fees for the sponsor.
  2. b
    The transaction was marketed to potential debt investors as an investment in a portfolio of high-quality debt with exposure to the credit risk associated with the possible default by the issuers of the debt in the portfolio.
  3. c
    The equity tranche is negotiated to absorb the first dollar risk of loss related to credit, liquidity, fair value, and interest rate risk and to receive a portion of the benefit from a favorable change in credit, fair value, and interest rates.
  4. d
    The principal risks to which the VIE is exposed include credit, interest rate, and liquidity risk.

Paragraph 810-10-25-38B requires that a reporting entity identify which activities most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and determine whether it has the power to direct those activities. The economic performance of the VIE is significantly impacted by the performance of the VIE's portfolio of assets and by the terms of the short-term debt. Thus, the activities that significantly impact the VIE's economic performance are the activities that significantly impact the performance of the portfolio of assets and the terms of the short-term debt (when the debt is refinanced or reissued). The sponsor manages the VIE's investment, funding, and defeasance activities. The fact that the sponsor was significantly involved with the creation of the VIE does not, in isolation, result in the sponsor being the primary beneficiary of the VIE. However, the fact that the sponsor was involved with the creation of the VIE indicated that the sponsor had the opportunity and the incentive to establish arrangements that result in the sponsor being the variable interest holder with the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance.

If a reporting entity has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance, then under the requirements of paragraph 810-10-25-38A, that reporting entity also is required to determine whether it has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The sponsor considered whether it had an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that the VIE operates as designed. Based on paragraphs 810-10-25-51 and 810-10-25-54, the sponsor determined that it has an implicit financial responsibility and that such obligation requires the sponsor to absorb losses that could potentially be significant to the VIE. This determination was influenced by the sponsor's concern regarding the risk to its reputation in the marketplace if the VIE did not operate as designed. The fees paid to the sponsor are both of the following:
  1. a
    Compensation for services provided and commensurate with the level of effort required to provide the services
  2. b
    Part of a service arrangement that includes only terms, conditions, or amounts that are customarily present in arrangements for similar services negotiated at arm's length.

To evaluate the facts and circumstances and determine which reporting entity, if any, is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, paragraph 810-10-25-38A requires that a reporting entity determine the purpose and design of the VIE, including the risks that the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders. In making this assessment, the variable interest holders of the VIE determined the following:
  1. a
    The primary purposes for which the VIE was created were to provide investors with the ability to invest in a pool of highly rated medium-term assets, to provide the multiple sellers to the VIE with access to lower-cost funding, to earn a positive spread between the interest that the VIE earns on its asset portfolio and its weighted-average cost of funding, and to generate fees for the sponsor.
  2. b
    The transaction was marketed to potential debt investors as an investment in a portfolio of highly rated medium-term assets with minimal exposure to the credit risk associated with the possible default by the issuers of the assets in the portfolio. The subordinated debt is designed to absorb the first dollar risk of loss related to credit and interest rate risk. The VIE is marketed to all investors as having a low probability of credit loss due to the nature of the assets obtained. Furthermore, the VIE is marketed to the short-term debt holders as having protection from liquidity risk due to the liquidity facility provided by the sponsor.
  3. c
    The principal risks to which the VIE is exposed include credit, interest rate, and liquidity.

Paragraph 810-10-25-38B requires that a reporting entity identify which activities most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and determine whether it has the power to direct those activities. The economic performance of the VIE is significantly impacted by the performance of the VIE's portfolio of assets and by the terms of the short-term debt. Thus, the activities that significantly impact the VIE's economic performance are the activities that significantly impact the performance of the portfolio of assets and the terms of the short-term debt (when the debt is refinanced or reissued). The sponsor manages the operations of the VIE. Specifically, the sponsor establishes the terms of the VIE, approves the sellers permitted to sell to the VIE, approves the assets to be purchased by the VIE, makes decisions about the funding of the VIE including determining the tenor and other features of the short-term debt issued, and administers the VIE by monitoring the assets, arranging for debt placement, and ensuring compliance with the VIE's credit and investment policies. The fact that the sponsor was significantly involved with the creation of the VIE does not, in isolation, result in the sponsor being the primary beneficiary of the VIE. However, the fact that the sponsor was involved with the creation of the VIE may indicate that the sponsor had the opportunity and the incentive to establish arrangements that result in the sponsor being the variable interest holder with the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance.

To evaluate the facts and circumstances and determine which reporting entity, if any, is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, paragraph 810-10-25-38A requires that a reporting entity determine the purpose and design of the VIE, including the risks that the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders. In making this assessment, the variable interest holders of the VIE determined the following:
  1. a
    The primary purpose for which the VIE was created was to provide the lessee with use of the underlying asset for five years with substantially all of the rights and obligations of ownership, including tax benefits.
  2. b
    The VIE was marketed to potential investors as an investment in a portfolio of AA-rated assets collateralized by an underlying asset that is leased that would provide a fixed-rate return to debt holders equivalent to AA-rated assets. The return to equity investors is expected to be slightly greater than the return to the debt investors because the equity is subordinated to the debt.
  3. c
    The residual value guarantee effectively transfers substantially all of the risk associated with the underlying asset (that is, decreases in value) to the lessee and the fixed-price purchase option effectively transfers substantially all of the rewards from the underlying asset (that is, increases in value) to the lessee.
  4. d
    The VIE is designed to be exposed to the risks associated with a cumulative change in fair value of the underlying asset at the end of five years as well as credit risk related to the potential default by the lessee of its contractually required lease payments.

A VIE is created by a furniture manufacturer and a financial investor to manufacture and sell wood furniture to retail customers in a particular geographic region. The VIE was created because the furniture manufacturer has no viable distribution channel in that particular geographic region. The VIE is established with $100 of equity, contributed by the furniture manufacturer, and $3 million of 10-year fixed-rate debt, provided by a financial investor. The furniture manufacturer establishes the sales and marketing strategy of the VIE, manages the day-to-day activities of the VIE, and is responsible for preparing and implementing the annual budget for the VIE. The VIE has a distribution contract with a third party that does not represent a variable interest in the VIE. Interest is paid to the fixed-rate debt holder (the financial investor) from operations before funds are available to the equity holder. The furniture manufacturer has guaranteed the fixed-rate debt to the financial investor. The debt agreement includes a clause such that if there is a materially adverse change that materially impairs the ability of the VIE and the furniture manufacturer to pay the debt, then the financial investor can take possession of all the assets of the VIE. An independent third party must objectively determine whether a materially adverse change has occurred on the basis of the terms of the debt agreement (an example of a materially adverse change under the debt agreement is the bankruptcy of the VIE).

To evaluate the facts and circumstances and determine which reporting entity, if any, is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, paragraph 810-10-25-38A requires that a reporting entity determine the purpose and design of the VIE, including the risks that the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders. In making this assessment, the variable interest holders of the VIE determined the following:
  1. a
    The primary purpose for which the VIE was created was to enable the furniture manufacturer to extend its existing business line into a particular geographic region that lacked a viable distribution channel.
  2. b
    The VIE was marketed to the financial investor as a fixed-rate investment in a retail operating entity, supported by the furniture manufacturer's expertise and guarantee.
  3. c
    The furniture manufacturer's guarantee of the debt effectively transfers all of the operating risk of the VIE to the furniture manufacturer.

To evaluate the facts and circumstances and determine which reporting entity, if any, is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, paragraph 810-10-25-38A requires that a reporting entity determine the purpose and design of the VIE, including the risks that the VIE was designed to create and pass through to its variable interest holders. In making this assessment, the variable interest holders of the VIE determined all of the following:
  1. a
    The fund is designed to provide limited partners with exposure to the risks and returns of the fund.
  2. b
    The fund was marketed to potential investors as an investment in a pool of securities with exposure to specific enterprise risks, market liquidity, and general market volatility of the investments. The limited partners have granted the general partner power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance, which include management of their invested capital, on the basis of the prior performance of the general partner.
  3. c
    The fee structure is designed to provide greater compensation to the general partner if the fund generates returns for the third-party limited partners that are above the specified profit level. The specified profit level is based on the activities of the fund and the nature of the fund's assets.

Additionally, the general partner has no related parties with interests in the fund that individually, or in the aggregate, would absorb more than an insignificant amount of the fund's expected losses or receive more than an insignificant amount of the fund's expected residual returns. For purposes of this assessment, the general partner did not include its employees' interests in the fund because the general partner did not finance those interests; therefore, the general partner has neither a direct nor an indirect economic interest in the fund.

    At the direction of the physician practice management entity, a physician who will be the physician practice management entity's nominee shareholder incorporates a nominally capitalized new physician practice. In a subsequent exchange of shares, the physician practice management entity becomes the outright owner of the shares of the existing physician practice. The physician or physicians who were the former owners of the existing physician practice simultaneously sever their employment relationship with the existing physician practice and establish an employment relationship with the new physician practice.

    The physician practice management entity issues its shares to the shareholders of the existing physician practice. Simultaneously, shares of the existing physician practice are delivered to a physician who is a nominee of the physician practice management entity, and a management agreement is executed between the physician practice management entity and the existing physician practice. By virtue of the terms of the management agreement that gives the rights to the residual equity of the existing physician practice to the physician practice management entity, the shares of the physician practice held by the nominee have only a nominal value.

The following represents the transition information related to Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-07, Consolidation (Topic 810): Applying Variable Interest Entities Guidance to Common Control Leasing Arrangements, referenced in paragraph 810-10-15-17AA:
  1. a
    Upon adoption of the accounting alternative, the guidance in the Variable Interest Entities Subsections of this Subtopic shall be applied retrospectively as of the beginning of the first fiscal year in which the accounting alternative is elected and to all periods presented.
  2. b
    Subparagraph superseded by Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-03.
  3. c
    Subparagraph superseded by Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-03.
  4. d
    If a reporting entity deconsolidates a variable interest entity (VIE) as a result of the application of the accounting alternative guidance in the Variable Interest Entities Subsections of this Subtopic, the reporting entity shall initially measure any retained interest in the deconsolidated VIE at its carrying amount at the date the accounting alternative guidance first applies. In this context, carrying amount refers to the amount at which any retained interest would have been carried in the reporting entity's financial statements if the accounting alternative guidance had been effective when the reporting entity became involved with the VIE. Any difference between the net amount removed from the statement of financial position of the reporting entity and the amount of any retained interest in the deconsolidated VIE shall be recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. The amount of any cumulative-effect adjustment related to deconsolidation shall be disclosed separately.
  5. e
    An entity shall provide the disclosures in paragraphs
    250-10-50-1 through 50-3
    except for the disclosure in paragraph 250-10-50-1(b)(2) in the period the entity adopts the     accounting alternative guidance in the Variable Interest Entities Subsections of this Subtopic.
  6. f
    A private company that makes an accounting policy election to apply the accounting alternative guidance in the Variable Interest Entities Subsections of this Subtopic for the first time need not justify that the use of the accounting alternative is preferable as described in paragraph 250-10-45-2.

Consolidation is required when a reporting entity has a \"controlling financial interest\" — usually ownership of a majority voting interest (or, for limited partnerships, a majority of kick-out rights through voting interests) under the General Subsections, or, for a VIE, both power over the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and exposure to potentially significant losses/benefits. A reporting entity must first test whether the other entity is a VIE (810-10-15-14); only if it is not does the voting-interest or contractual-control analysis apply.","key_points":["Consolidated financial statements are presumed more meaningful and are usually necessary for fair presentation when one entity directly or indirectly has a controlling financial interest in the others (810-10-10-1).","Order of analysis: apply the VIE Subsections first if the entity is in their scope (810-10-15-3(a) and 810-10-15-14); if not a VIE, use only the General Subsections, or the Consolidation of Entities Controlled by Contract Subsections for contractual management relationships (810-10-15-3(b)-(c)).","The usual condition for a controlling financial interest is ownership of more than 50 percent of outstanding voting shares (810-10-15-8), and for limited partnerships, ownership of more than 50 percent of kick-out rights through voting interests (810-10-15-8A); control may also exist by contract, lease, agreement, or court decree.","A legal entity is a VIE if, by design, equity at risk is insufficient to finance activities without additional subordinated financial support, or the equity holders as a group lack power through voting rights, the obligation to absorb expected losses, or the right to receive expected residual returns, or if voting rights are disproportionate and substantially all activities are conducted on behalf of the disproportionately low-vote investor (810-10-15-14).","The primary beneficiary consolidates a VIE; it is the single party with both (a) power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb potentially significant losses or right to receive potentially significant benefits (810-10-25-38A); if power is shared among unrelated parties, no party is the primary beneficiary (810-10-25-38D).","A majority-owned subsidiary is not consolidated where control does not rest with the majority owner (legal reorganization, bankruptcy, severe foreign exchange restrictions, or substantive noncontrolling participating rights) (810-10-15-10(a)(1)); protective rights do not overcome the consolidation presumption but substantive participating rights do (810-10-25-7, 25-10, 25-11).","Scope exceptions include employee benefit plans, investment company investees, governmental organizations, money market funds operating under Rule 2a-7-like requirements (810-10-15-12), NFPs, insurance separate accounts, pre-2003 entities where information is unobtainable, certain businesses (810-10-15-17), and a private company common-control accounting alternative (810-10-15-17AD)."],"categories":["Consolidation","Recognition","Presentation","Disclosure"],"audience_level":"intermediate","student_note":"This is the gateway subtopic for every consolidation question, and the most common mistake is jumping straight to the majority-voting-interest test — you must always screen for VIE status first, and remember that for limited partnerships the analogue of voting rights is kick-out rights. Also do not confuse protective rights (which never defeat consolidation) with substantive participating rights (which do).","related_topics":["810-30","958-810","946-810","323-10","805","850"],"key_concepts":["controlling financial interest","variable interest entity","primary beneficiary","equity investment at
