Example 11
[Refer: paragraphs B51–B53]
An investee’s only business activity, as specified in its founding documents, is
to purchase receivables and service them on a day-to-day basis for its
investors. The servicing on a day-to-day basis includes the collection and
passing on of principal and interest payments as they fall due. Upon default
of a receivable the investee automatically puts the receivable to an investor
as agreed separately in a put agreement between the investor and the
investee. The only relevant activity is managing the receivables upon default
because it is the only activity that can significantly affect the investee’s
returns. Managing the receivables before default is not a relevant activity
because it does not require substantive decisions to be made that could
significantly affect the investee’s returns—the activities before default are
predetermined and amount only to collecting cash flows as they fall due and
passing them on to investors. Therefore, only the investor’s right to manage
the assets upon default should be considered when assessing the overall
activities of the investee that significantly affect the investee’s returns.
In this example, the design of the investee ensures that the investor has
decision-making authority over the activities that significantly affect the
returns at the only time that such decision-making authority is required.
The terms of the put agreement are integral to the overall transaction and
the establishment of the investee. Therefore, the terms of the put agreement
together with the founding documents of the investee lead to the conclusion
that the investor has power over the investee even though the investor takes
ownership of the receivables only upon default and manages the defaulted
receivables outside the legal boundaries of the investee.
