Variable Interest Entities ("VIE")
VIE of Which We are the Primary Beneficiary
Investment in Printi LLC
On August 7, 2014, we made a capital investment in Printi LLC, which operates in Brazil. This investment provides us access to a new market and the opportunity to drive longer-term growth in Brazil. We paid $8,210 in cash for preferred shares resulting in a 41.6% equity interest in Printi with call options to increase our ownership incrementally over a 9-year period. The first contingent call option is exercisable in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 for approximately $10,000 and would increase our ownership to 49.99%.
Based upon the level of equity investment at risk, Printi is considered a variable interest entity. The shareholders share profits and voting control on a pro-rata basis. While we do not manage the day to day operations of Printi, we do have the unilateral ability to exercise participating voting rights for specific transactions and as such no one shareholder is considered to be the primary beneficiary. However, certain significant shareholders cannot transfer their equity interests without our approval and as a result are considered de facto agents on our behalf in accordance with ASC 810-10-25-43.
In aggregating our rights, as well as those of our de facto agents, the group as a whole has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits from the entity. In situations where a de facto agency relationship is present, one party is required to be identified as the primary beneficiary and the evaluation requires significant judgment. The factors considered include the presence of a principal/agent relationship, the relationship and significance of activities to the reporting entity, the variability associated with the VIE's anticipated economics and the design of the VIE. The analysis is qualitative in nature and is based on weighting the relative importance of each of the factors in relation to the specifics of the VIE arrangement. Upon our investment we performed an analysis and concluded that we are the party that is most closely associated with Printi, as we are most exposed to the variability of the economics and therefore considered the primary beneficiary.
As we are the primary beneficiary, our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Printi from August 7, 2014. The results are immaterial to our consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2014. We have recognized the assets and liabilities on the basis of their fair values at the date of our investment, with any excess of the purchase price paid over the fair value of the net assets recorded as goodwill. Of the total purchase price, $12,164 was allocated to goodwill, $4,414 to noncontrolling interests and $460 to net assets. The purchase price allocation is considered provisional as the valuation of acquired intangible assets and noncontrolling interests are preliminary.
VIE of Which We are Not the Primary Beneficiary
Namex Limited
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014, we disposed of our investment in Namex Limited and its related companies, as discussions with management identified different visions in the execution of the long-term strategic direction of the business. Prior to the sale, our investment was accounted for using the equity method, as the investment was considered a VIE and we were not the primary beneficiary. We recorded in net income a proportionate share of the earnings or losses of Namex, as well as related amortization, with a corresponding increase or decrease in the carrying value of the investment. For the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded a loss of $779 attributable to Namex in our consolidated statement of operations.
