EQUITY INVESTMENT IN AN INVESTEE COMPANY | Note 6 – EQUITY INVESTMENT IN AN INVESTEE COMPANY In accordance with ASC 323, accounting for equity method investments, investee companies that are not consolidated, but over which the Company exercises significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Whether or not the Company exercises significant influence with respect to an investee depends on an evaluation of several factors including, among others, representation on the investee company’s board of directors and ownership level, which is generally a 20% to 50% interest in the voting securities of the investee company. Under the equity method of accounting, an investee company’s accounts are not reflected within the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. However, the Company’s share of the earnings or losses of the investee company is reflected in the caption “Equity (loss)/gain-share of investee company” in the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The Company’s carrying value in an investee company under equity method is reflected in the caption ‘‘Equity interest in an Investee company’’ in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. When the Company’s carrying value in an equity method investee company is reduced to zero, no further losses are recorded in the Company’s consolidated financial statements unless the Company has guaranteed the obligations of the investee company or has committed additional funding to finance the investee company. When the investee company subsequently reports income, the Company will not record its share of such income until it equals the amount of its share of losses not previously recognized. With respect to the difference between investor cost and underlying equity in net assets of investee at date of investment (basis difference), ASC 323 requires this difference to be assigned to depreciable or amortizable assets or liabilities and the basis difference should be amortized or depreciated in connection with the income/loss recognized by the investor of their proportionate share of the investee’s net income or loss. This effectively adjusts the investee basis to the investor’s basis, generally over a period of time.
