    If the CB is significant and is to supportshort-term borrowing, the CB should bestated separately among the cash and

    cash equivalent item in current assets..

    If the CB is significant and is to supportlong-term borrowing, the CB should be

    classified as noncurrent assets in eitherInvestments or Cash on OtherAssets using a caption such as DepositMaintained as Compensating Balance.

    IV. Financing with Accounts Receivable toaccelerate the receipt of cash from receivables

    Two ways: 1. Secured borrowing

    IV. Financing with Accounts Receivable(contd.)

    Advantages:1) Immediate use of cash (i.e., pledge,

    assign and factor);

    2) Avoid the cost of billing and collection(i.e., factor).

    Disadvantages:1) Service charge (i.e., assign and factor);2) Interest charge (i.e., pledge and assign)

    IV. Financing with Accounts Receivable- Reasons

    Pledge and Assign: Cash shortage and other ways of

    borrowing are not available or too

    expensive. Factor: In some industries (i.e., durable goods such

    as automobiles, equipments), product

    financing is virtually mandatory to becompetitive. Companies in theseindustries often created wholly-ownedsubsidiaries specializing in receivables

    financing (i.e., to buy receivables from the

    IV. Financing with Accounts Receivable Reasons (Contd.)

    Factor (cont.): To avoid billing and collection costs. To avoid violation of existing lending

    agreements. From a purchasers point of view,

    buying receivables may be analternative of making profits when

    reaching its legal lending limit.

    Note: Credit card sale is a form of factorwithout recourse.

    he discount of N/R will be amortized in next threeyears. If the effective rate of the note is known, thepresent value of the note can be calculated.

    Fair Value Option

    Companies can choose the fair valueoption when the financial instrument isoriginally recognized or when an event

    triggers a new basis of accounting (i.e.,acquisition).

    Once chosen, the company has to usethe fair value option in subsequent

    periods.

    these receivables on the initial valuation ofthese recently acquired receivables.

    A loan receivable impaired when it isprobable that it will not collect all amountsdue (both principle and interest).

    Measurement: Compare the recorded investment (i..e,

    the NRV or the carrying amount) with thepresent value of the expected future cashflows using the historical expectedinterest rate.

    Securitization

    A sale of securities (i.e., bonds orcommercial paper) backed(collateralized ) by a pool of assets.

    These assets can be mortgagereceivables (i.e., mortgage-backedsecurities), consumer loans (i.e.,

    assets-backed securities), andcorporate bonds (i.e., collateralizeddebt obligations).

    117

    ( )

    Securitizations are popular for tworeasons:

    1. Investors have a strong appetite inacquiring collateralized securities.

    2. Companies and lenders with large

    amounts of receivables haveincentives to engage in securitization.

    Securitization Performed by TheC

    118/126

    118

    Company When a company uses its assets (i.e.,

    auto loan receivables) as collaterals toissue bonds (i.e., assets-backed

    securities), the receivables will remainon its balance sheet.

    The companys liability will be increasedfrom the increase of bonds payable.

    As a result, this transaction will have anadverse effect on its return on assetsand debt/equity ratios.

    The Special Purpose Entity

    119

    The Special Purpose Entity

    A special purpose entity (SPE) is usuallycreated by a third party which isindependent of the company withreceivables (referred to as the transferor).

    The SPE serves the purpose of buyingreceivables from the transferorand issuingsecurities collateralized on the receivables

    transferred from the transferor. The SPE can be in the form of a trust,

    partnership or corporation and is legallydistinct from the transferor.

    Procedures of Securitization

  • 8/3/2019 07 Cash and Receivables

    120/126

    120

    Performed by A SPE

    1. The transferorwill first transfer itsreceivables to the SPE.

    2. The SPE issues securities (i.e.,commercial papers due in 30 days)using these receivables as collaterals.

    3. The cash received by the SPE fromissuing securities will go back to thetransferorto pay off the receivablestransferred.

    121

    Performed by A SPE (contd.) The SPE is served as a pass

    through.

    The independent third party (i.e., an

    investment bank) charges thetransferorfees forcreating andoperating the SPE.

    The transferorcan continue to servicethe loan for a fee.

    Off Balance Sheet Financing

    122/126

    122

    Off Balance Sheet Financing

    If the SPE is a qualifying SPE (i.e., withat least 10% of the fair value of itsbeneficial interests invested by a party

    other than the transferor or its affiliates),the transferordoes not have toconsolidate the balance sheet of theSPE.

    As a result, both the receivables andthe liabilities from issuing securities willappear only on the balance sheet of the

    SPE, not the transferor.

    Off Balance Sheet Financing( td )

  • 8/3/2019 07 Cash and Receivables

    123/126

    123

    (contd.) The transferor, therefore, has an off-

    balance sheet financing.

    If the receivables went bad, the transferor

    may be forced to take back receivables orthe banks eat losses.

    Since the receivables on the SPEs arelong-term assets while the securitiesissued by the SPE are short termliabilities, there is a mismatch on thefinancing of SPEs assets.

    Consolidation: An Update

    The concept of qualifying SPE has beeneliminated by SFAS No. 166 passed inMay 2009, and became effective as of

    the beginning of the first annualreporting period beginning after Nov.2009.

    The SPE has been replaced by thevariable-interest entity (VIE).

    A VIE is an entity with 1) insufficientequity, or with 2) stockholders lackingcontrol, or with 3) stockholders not sharing

    profits or losses (source: KWW textbook ,appendix 17B).

    If an entity is a VIE, the risk-and-rewardmodel, instead of the voting-interest-model, is used in determining theconsolidation party.

    Consolidation (contd.) (source: KWW

  • 8/3/2019 07 Cash and Receivables

    126/126

    ( )textbook , appendix 17B).

    Under the risk-and-reward model, theprimary beneficiary of a VIE needs toconsolidate the VIE.

    Voting-interest-model:the party with morethan 50% of voting rights of an entity

    should consolidate the entity.

    The risk-and-reward model: the party who

    assume majority of the risks and receivemajority of benefits associated with theentity is the primary beneficiary party and
