Statement showing entities evaluation under FIN 46(R)

Accounting Literature: Consolidation of Variable interest Entities –an


interpretation of ARB No. 51

This interpretation of Accounting Research Bulletin No 5, Consolidated


Financial Statements, addresses consolidation by business enterprises of
variable interest entities, which have one or more of the following
characteristics:

1. The equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to


finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support
from other parties, which is provided through other interests that will
absorb some or all of the expected losses of the entity.

2. The equity investors lack one or more of the following essential


characteristics of a controlling financial interest:

• The direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entity’s


activities through voting rights or similar rights
• The obligation to absorb the expected losses of the entity if they
occur, which makes it possible for the entity to finance its activities.
• The right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity if
they occur, which is the compensation for the risk of absorbing the
expected losses

3. The equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their
economic interests, and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted
on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest.

The following are the exceptions to the scope of this interpretation:

1. Not for profit organizations are not subject to this interpretation unless
they are used by business enterprises in an attempt to circumvent the
provisions of this Interpretation.

2. Employee benefit plans subject to specific accounting requirements in


existing FASB Statements are not subject to this Interpretation.

3. Registered investment companies are not required to consolidate a


variable interest entity unless the variable interest entity is a registered
investment company.
4. Transferors to qualifying special-purpose entities and “grandfathered”
qualifying special-purpose entities subject to the reporting requirements
of FASB statement No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities, do not consolidate
those entities.

5. No other enterprise consolidates a qualifying special-purpose entity or a


“grandfathered” qualifying special-purpose entity unless the enterprise
has the unilateral ability to cause the entity to liquidate or to change the
entity in such a way that it no longer meets the requirements to be a
qualifying special purpose entity or “grandfathered” qualifying special-
purpose entity.

6. Separate accounts of life insurance enterprises as described in the AICPA


Auditing and Accounting Guide, Life and Health Insurance Entities, are not
subject to this Interpretation.

7. An entity that is deemed to be a business need not be evaluated by a


reporting enterprise to determine if the entity is a variable interest entity

8. An enterprise shall not consolidate a governmental organization and shall


not consolidate a financing entity established by a governmental
organization.

9. An enterprise with an interest in a variable interest entity or a potential


variable interest entity created before December 31, 2003, is not required
to apply this interpretation to that entity if that enterprise, after making
an exhaustive effort, is unable to obtain the necessary information.

An entity subject to the scope of the interpretation is called a variable


interest entity. The investments or other interests that will absorb portions of
a variable interest entity’s expected losses or receive potions of the entity’s
expected residual returns are called variable interests. An enterprise that
consolidates a variable interest entity is called the primary beneficiary of
that entity. An enterprise shall determine whether it is the primary
beneficiary only at the time when the enterprise becomes involved with the
entity. An entity that previously was not subject to this interpretation shall
not become subject to it simply because of losses in excess of its expected
losses that reduce the equity investment. A troubled debt restructuring is not
an event that required reconsideration of whether the entity involved is a
variable interest entity.

Fin 46R further states that an equity investment at risk of less than 10
percent of the entity’s total assets shall not be considered sufficient to
permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated
financial support in addition to the equity investment unless the equity
investment can be demonstrated to be sufficient. The demonstration that
equity is sufficient may be based on either qualitative or quantitative
analysis or a combination of both.

Process Note: As per the above requirement of FIN 46(R), we have evaluated
ICICI Bank’s cases and prepared our analysis which is presented below. The
analysis includes all cases where the Bank’s exposure is greater than Rs. 500
million (significance level). We have also ignored cases where the exposure is
more than 500 million but belong to large corporate houses, multinational
companies, government institutions, public sector units.

Test for operating companies financed by ICICI Bank:

• The capitalization of the company on the basis of the last audited financial
statement available is ascertained. All outside liabilities including equity
of the company and ICICI Bank’s exposure as a percentage of total
capitalization is ascertained. In case, the Bank’s exposure to VIE is 50% or
less, it is concluded that the entity does not require consolidation under
the provisions of FIN 46(R).

The cases we need to evaluate from the control sheet are for those cases
where the Bank’s exposure as a percentage of total capitalization is greater
than 50%.

These cases are mentioned below:

1. Dewanchand Ramsaran Industries Private Limited : Not to be


consolidated as
• The Bank does not have any direct or indirect liability to make
decisions about the entity’s activities through voting rights or
similar rights, as the Bank does not have any representative as a
director
• The bank has the fixed charge on all the rigs
• The equity investment (share capital, share premium and
reserves and surplus) at risk is more than 10% of the total
assets.

2. Alkor Petroo Limited: Not to be consolidated as


• The Bank does not have any direct or indirect liability to make
decisions about the entity’s activities through voting rights or
similar rights, as the Bank does not have any representative as a
director
• The loan is secured on the corporate guarantee of IVRCL
infrastructures & Projects Limited.
• The Bank does not have any obligation to absorb any loss which
is not proportional to the contribution made by ICICI Bank.

3. B.W.Highway: Not to be consolidated as


• The Bank does not have any direct or indirect liability to make
decisions about the entity’s activities through voting rights or
similar rights, as the Bank does not have any representative as a
director
• The bank has first charge on all the movable and immovable
fixed assets
• The Bank does not have any obligation to absorb any loss which
is not proportional to the contribution made the Bank
• The total investment at risk sufficient enough to permit the entity
to finance its own activities without additional subordinated
support
• The loan is given on the corporate guarantee of Kamat Hotels
(India) Ltd, M/s. Unity Infraprojects Ltd., BSEL Infrastructure
Realty Ltd.

4. Batiste Unlimited: Not to be consolidated as


• The entity is a SPV created by Reliance- ADAG group.
• The Bank does not any direct or indirect ability to make decisions
about the entity activities.
• The Bank does not have any obligation to absorb any loss which
is not proportional to the contribution made by the Bank.
• The total investment at risk is sufficient enough to permit the
entity to finance its own activities without additional
subordinated support.
• The Bank does not have its own person as director of the Board.

5. Shresht Mining and Metals Pvt Ltd.: Not to be consolidated as


• The Bank does not have any direct or indirect liability to make
decisions about the entity’s activities through voting rights or
similar rights, as the Bank does not have any representative as a
director.
• The Bank is not under any obligation to absorb any loss which is
not proportional to the contribution made by the Bank.

6. Suraj Estate Developers: Not to be consolidated as


• The Bank does not have any direct or indirect liability to make
decisions about the entity’s activities through voting rights or
similar rights, as the Bank does not have any representative as a
director.
• The Bank have first and exclusive charge on the
movable/immovable assets of the company
• The Bank does not have any obligation to absorb any loss which
is not proportional to the contribution made by ICICI Bank

Hence as per our evaluation, we conclude that there are no cases to be


consolidated as per Fin 46R on account of loans and advances given by the
Bank.

We also did an analysis of a few enterprises which provide services to ICICI


Bank. The cases are mentioned below:

1. NIIT Institute of Finance, Banking and Insurance:

ICICI Bank has been allotted 9,50,000 shares of Rs 10 each of NIIT Institute of
Finance, Banking and Insurance. The remaining 45,00,000 shares have been
allotted to NIIT Limited which is the holding company. NIIT Limited has also
given a loan of Rs 18.5 million to the institute. The maximum strength of the
board is six out of which 4 directors are from NIIT Limited and 2 directors are
from ICICI Bank. ICICI Bank is not required to consolidate this entity as:
• The total investment at risk is sufficient to permit the entity to finance
its activities without additional subordinated support.
• ICICI Bank does not have any obligation to absorb any loss which is not
proportional to the contribution of ICICI Bank.
• ICICI Bank does not have any authority either through voting rights or
similar rights to take decisions about the entity activities which is not
proportional to the shareholding right.
• The equity investment at risk is more than 10% of the total assets of
the company.

2. I Solutions Provider (India) Limited:

ICICI Bank holds 9,500 shares of the company and the remaining 40,500
shares are held by the promoters of the company. ICICI Bank has not
provided any loan to the company. The maximum strength of the board is six
out of which 4 directors are from the promoter and 2 directors are from ICICI
Bank. ICICI Bank is not required to consolidate this entity as:
• The total investment at risk is sufficient to permit the entity to finance
its activities without additional subordinated support.
• ICICI Bank does not have any obligation to absorb any loss which is not
proportional to the contribution of ICICI Bank.
• ICICI Bank does not have any authority either through voting rights or
similar rights to take decisions about the entity activities which is not
proportional to the shareholding right.

3. I Process Services (India) Private Limited:


ICICI Bank holds 9,500 shares of the company and the remaining 40,500
shares are held by the promoters of the company. ICICI Bank has not
provided any loan to the company. The maximum strength of the board is six
out of which 4 directors are from the promoter end and 2 directors are from
ICICI Bank. ICICI Bank is not required to consolidate this entity as:
• The total investment at risk is sufficient to permit the entity to finance
its activities without additional subordinated support.
• ICICI Bank does not have any obligation to absorb any loss which is not
proportional to the contribution of ICICI Bank.
• ICICI Bank does not have any authority either through voting rights or
similar rights to take decisions about the entity activities which is not
proportional to the shareholding right.

From the above analysis, it is clear that ICICI Bank is not required to
consolidate any of the service providers as it does fall in the definition of a
variable interest entity.
