In situations in which an inventory transaction is not legally contingent upon the performance of another inventory transaction with the same counterparty, the following factors (referred to as indicators) may indicate that a purchase transaction and a sales transaction were entered into in contemplation of one another:
a
There is a specific legal right of offset of obligations between counterparties involved in inventory purchase and sales transactions. The ability to offset the payable(s) and receivable(s) related to the separately documented inventory purchase and sales transactions indicates that there is a link between them and, therefore, it is an indicator that the separately documented inventory transactions were entered into in contemplation of one another. This indicator is more relevant to settlement provisions relating to inventory purchase and sales transactions that are specifically identified (specified legal right of offset) by both counterparties than to inventory transactions that are netted as part of a master netting agreement that encompasses all transactions (inventory and noninventory) between the two counterparties.
b
Inventory purchase and sales transactions with the same counterparty are entered into simultaneously. If an inventory purchase transaction is simultaneously entered into with an inventory sales transaction with the same counterparty that is an indication that the transactions were entered into in contemplation of one another.
c
Inventory purchase and sales transactions were entered into at terms that were off-market when the arrangement was agreed to between counterparties. If an entity enters into an off-market inventory transaction with a counterparty, that is an indication that the transaction is linked to, and entered into, in contemplation of another inventory transaction with that same counterparty. This indicator may be more relevant for transactions with products that have readily determinable market prices, such as exchange-traded commodities, than for transactions with products that are subject to greater discretionary pricing.
d
Relative certainty that reciprocal inventory transactions with the same counterparty will occur. An entity may sell inventory to a counterparty and enter into another arrangement with that same counterparty whereby that counterparty may, but is not contractually required to, deliver an agreed-upon inventory amount. If that counterparty chooses to deliver its product to the entity, the entity is obligated to purchase that product. The more certain it is that both inventory transactions will occur, the stronger the indication that the two inventory transactions were entered into in contemplation of one another.
None of the above indicators taken individually is determinative nor is the list all-inclusive.
