{
  "summary": "This Subtopic addresses when a mining entity may use proportionate consolidation — presenting its pro rata share of an investee's assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses on a gross basis rather than as a one-line equity method investment. Proportionate consolidation is permitted only where it has been established industry practice, and for extractive activities it is limited to unincorporated legal entities whose activities are confined to the extraction of mineral resources. Entities engaged in refining, marketing, or transporting extracted minerals are not \"in an extractive industry\" for this purpose.",
  "key_points": [
    "Proportionate consolidation is allowed only in industries in which it has been industry practice, and this Subtopic applies that guidance to mining (810-930-05-1).",
    "Under paragraph 810-10-45-14, proportionate gross financial statement presentation is not appropriate for an investment in an unincorporated legal entity accounted for by the equity method unless the investee is in the construction industry (910-810-45-1) or an extractive industry (932-810-45-1) (810-930-45-1).",
    "An entity is in an extractive industry only if its activities are limited to the extraction of mineral resources, such as oil and gas exploration and production (810-930-45-1).",
    "Activities such as refining, marketing, or transporting extracted mineral resources disqualify an entity from extractive-industry treatment and thus from proportionate gross presentation (810-930-45-1).",

Paragraph [810-10-45-14](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/810/10/#810-10-45-14) explains that a proportionate gross financial statement presentation is not appropriate for an investment in an unincorporated legal entity accounted for by the equity method of accounting unless the investee is in either the construction industry (see paragraph [910-810-45-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/810/910/#810-910-45-1)) or an extractive industry (as discussed in this Topic and paragraph [932-810-45-1](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/asc/810/932/#810-932-45-1)). As indicated in that paragraph, an entity is in an extractive industry only if its activities are limited to the extraction of mineral resources (such as oil and gas exploration and production) and not if its activities involve related activities such as refining, marketing, or transporting extracted mineral resources.
