An associate company is one where another company owns 20-50% of voting shares, so its financial statements are not consolidated with the parent's. Owning over 50% creates a subsidiary with consolidated financials. For associates, the owner reports a proportional share of income and the investment asset value on the balance sheet decreases with dividends. In Europe, associate investments are called fixed financial assets. Associate value in valuation is the opposite of minority interest value. Under UK law, companies are associated if one is the other's subsidiary or they share a common parent company.

An associate company (or associate) in accounting and business valuation is a
company in which another company owns a significant portion of voting shares,
usually 20�50%. In this case, an owner does not consolidate the associate's financial statements. Ownership of over 50% creates a subsidiary, with its financial statements being consolidated into the parent's books. Associate value is reported in the balance sheet as an asset, the investor's proportional share of the associate's income is reported in the income statement and dividends from the ownership decrease the value on the balance sheet. In Europe, investments into associate companies are called fixed financial assets.
Associate value in the enterprise value equation is the reciprocate of minority
interest.
Under the UK Companies Act 2006, two companies are "associated" if one company is a subsidiary of the other or both are subsidiaries of the same body corporate.[1]
