Investment in Equity Interests
Investment in Equity Interests
In December 2013, pursuant to our shareholders agreement with Namex Limited and its related companies, we increased our equity interest in Namex Limited by contributing $4,894 in cash. This contribution is in addition to our initial investment of $12,653 in cash and $500 to be paid on an installment basis through December 31, 2016. Namex includes an established Chinese printing business, and the investment provides us with access to this new market and an opportunity to participate in longer-term growth in China. Our proportionate ownership share in Namex Limited as of December 31, 2013 is 45%, with additional call options to increase ownership incrementally over the coming seven years.
This investment is accounted for using the equity method. We record in net income a proportionate share of the earnings or losses of Namex, as well as amortization related to our proportionate share of the fair value of certain assets at each investment date, with a corresponding increase or decrease in the carrying value of the investment. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2013, we recorded losses of $867 and $1,646, respectively, attributable to Namex in our consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2013, the carrying value of our Namex investment, inclusive of our share of net assets and goodwill, was $14,466 in our consolidated balance sheet and we have a contractual loan arrangement with the majority shareholder of Namex, resulting in a loan receivable of $512 that is due with 6.5% per annum interest on or before December 31, 2016. We do not have any other material commercial arrangements with Namex as of December 31, 2013.
We have determined that the level of equity investment at risk is not sufficient for the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support and, as a result, Namex represents a variable interest entity. However, through consideration of the most significant activities of the entity in conjunction with the collective shareholders' rights of Namex, we have concluded that we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and therefore we do not qualify as the primary beneficiary. Our exposure to loss is limited to our contributed capital and the standard risks of proportionate equity ownership associated with the entity's operating performance.
In January 2014, we agreed to loan approximately $11,000 to Namex in the form of a convertible debt instrument. We may lend additional amounts at our sole discretion over the next two years, in amounts not to exceed $11,000. We have the option to convert any outstanding borrowings into additional share capital in fiscal 2017. If we do not exercise our conversion option, Namex is required to repay the borrowings with 7.2% per annum compounded interest on or before December 31, 2016.
