INTRODUCTION TO CONSOLIDATIONS
Example: Woolworths Holdings Limited (WHL) and David Jones (Australia)
WHL shareholders have approved the takeover of Australian department store,
David Jones for $2.2 billion (R23.4 billion) at a shareholder meeting in Cape Town.
This takeover would form the second largest retail group in the southern hemisphere
with 1151 stores in 16 countries.

providing resources to the entity.
By owning 100% of the shares in David Jones does WHL control the assets and

Consolidations involve the combining the financial statements of two companies

where the one company controls the other, into a single set of financial statements,
in order to increase the usefulness of the financial reports. This module will discuss
the requirements and procedures for consolidation.
DEFINITIONS
Acquisition date is the date on which the acquirer obtains control of the
acquiree (IFRS 3 appendix A).
A business is an integrated set of activities (inputs and processes) and assets

that is capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a
return in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits directly to
investors or other owners, members or participants. A business consists of


lOMoARcPSD|12066187
inputs and processes applied to those inputs that have the ability to create
outputs (IFRS 3 appendix A).
A business combination is a transaction or other event in which an acquirer

obtains control of one or more businesses (IFRS 3 appendix A).
A contingent consideration is an obligation of the acquirer to transfer additional

assets or equity interests to the former owners of an acquiree as part of the
exchange for control of the acquiree if specified future events occur or conditions
are met. However, contingent consideration also may give the acquirer the right
to the return of previously transferred consideration if specified conditions are
met (IFRS 3 appendix A).
Consolidated financial statements are the financial statements of a group in

which the assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the
parent and its subsidiaries are presented as those of a single economic entity
(IFRS 10 appendix A).
Control is when an investor is exposed to or has rights to variable returns from

its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns
through power over the investee (IFRS 10 appendix A).
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement
date (exit price) (IFRS 13).
Goodwill is an asset representing the future economic benefits arising from

other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually
identified and separately recognised (IFRS 3 appendix A).
A group is the parent and its subsidiaries (IFRS 10 appendix A).
Non-controlling interest is the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or

indirectly, to a parent (IFRS 3 appendix A).
A parent is an entity that has one or more entities (IFRS 10 appendix A).
Recognition criteria (per the framework for the preparation and presentation of
financial statements, par. 4.38):
An item that meets the definition of an asset or liability should be recognised if:
(a) it is probable that any future economic benefit associated with the item will
flow to or from the entity; and
(b) the item has a cost or value that can be measured with reliability.


lOMoARcPSD|12066187
Relevant activities are the activities that significantly affect the return of the
investee (IFRS 10 appendix A).
Separate financial statements are those presented by a parent (IAS 27 par.4).
A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by another entity (IFRS 10).
PARENT COMPANY ACCOUNTING (IAS 27)

The financial statements of the parent company reflect the shares held in its
investee as a financial asset (investment). This asset is normally measured at fair
value per IFRS 9, although there is an option to measure it at cost if the parent
holds more than 20% of the shares in the investment (in other words, the
investment is either an associate, a joint venture or a subsidiary). For financial
accounting II purposes, we will assume that the parent company measures its
investments in shares at cost in their separate financial statements.
Example 1: Investment in shares in the separate financial statements
P Limited purchased all the shares in S Limited for R30 when S’s share capital
was R20 and retained earnings were R10.
S Limited declared a dividend of R5 to its shareholder at 31 December 20x1.
The trial balance of S Limited at the end of the current year was as follows:
S LIMITED
STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION

Net assets 145

Retained earnings 125

2. prepare the journal entry required in the separate financial statements of

P Limited to record the dividend received by S Limited.
Debit Credit
Dr Bank 5
Cr Dividend Income (SoCI)
Dividend received from S
In summary, the separate financial statements reflect an investment in S limited at

R30. P limited has 100% of the voting rights (shares) in S limited, and assuming
that P thereby has power to direct the relevant activities of S, P therefore is able to
control every aspect of S Limited. It can control whether or not S distributes its
profits (through dividends), it controls whether or not S Limited buys or sells its
assets and it can even control whether S Limited remains a going concern or
ceases to exist. Because S is controlled by H, it is called a subsidiary of H.
The disclosure of an investment in shares of R30 in the records of P, does not give
the shareholders of P the full picture of the extent of control that P has over S and
neither does it reflect the growth in S (increase in its profits). For the shareholders
of P to assess the full control that P has over S, it would be necessary to also
show the underlying assets and liabilities of S as well as the increase in its profits
in the financial statements of P. For this reason, a second set of financial
statements (called consolidated (or group) financial statements) must be prepared
by P.
The purpose of consolidated financial statements is to present the financial

statements of a group of companies as those of a single economic entity
(IAS27:4). Consolidation is therefore simply the “adding together” of like items of
assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses and the reversing of amounts and
transactions that are internal to the group.
The definition of a subsidiary implies control – i.e. control over all the assets and
liabilities of the subsidiary by the parent. As there is full control of assets and
liabilities, 100% of these should be recognised in the consolidated financial
statements.
CONTROL
Requirement for consolidated financial statements
A business combination is defined as a transaction or other event in which an
acquirer obtains control of one or more businesses. When control is obtained,
an additional set of financial statements is required (IFRS 10 par.2a). Such
financial statements are referred to as either consolidated or group financial
statements. Control is the basis for consolidation.
IFRS 10 para 7 tells us that an investor has control over an investee if the
investor is exposed to or has rights to variable returns from its involvement with


lOMoARcPSD|12066187
the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the
investee (IFRS 10, 6)
In other words, the investor must have

 power over the investee;
 exposure or rights to variable returns; AND
 the ability to use that power to affect the amount of the investor’s returns
(IFRS 10, 6-7)
Normally, in determining whether a company has the above-mentioned ability, it

is necessary to determine the voting rights of the shareholders, where those with
a greater shareholding have a greater amount of influence on the strategic future
of the company (IFRS 10 par. 11). As such, control normally exists when a
parent owns more than half of the voting rights. This is not, however, always the
case, as power (and thus control) can also be obtained through other contractual
arrangements (IFRS 10 par. 11). In other words, a parent could still control the
investee even if the parent owns less than 50% of the voting rights (including
potential voting rights) of an investee. This will however be dealt with in detail in
Fin Acc III.
For Financial Accounting II purposes we will assume that where a parent owns
more than 50% of the voting rights in an investee, it has power to direct the
relevant activities; exposure to rights and variable returns and the ability to
use that power to affect the returns of the investee and therefore controls the
investee.
Exemption from presentation of consolidated financial statements
An entity that is a parent is required to present consolidated financial statements

in which it consolidates its investments in subsidiaries, unless one of the
following grounds for exemption applies (IFRS 10, para 4):
1. the parent is itself a wholly-owned subsidiary, or is a partially-owned

subsidiary of another entity and its other owners (non-controlling interests)
do not object to the parent not presenting consolidated financial
statements AND
2. the parent’s debt or equity instruments (shares) are not traded or about to
be traded in a public market (ie. parent is unlisted and is not in the
process of becoming listed) AND
3. the ultimate (or any intermediate parent) of the parent produces
consolidated financial statements available for public use that comply with
International Financial Reporting Standards.
SCOPE OF IAS 27, IFRS 3 and IFRS 10
IAS 27


lOMoARcPSD|12066187
This Standard applies to the preparation and presentation separate financial

statements only.
IFRS 3
This Standard deals with the accounting of a business combination transaction.
Note that a business combination does not only refer to the acquisition of shares
in a subsidiary. An entity could acquire a business simply by purchasing all its
assets and liabilities. In that instance, IFRS 3 would also apply to the
measurement of the assets and liabilities acquired.
The recognition and measurement steps required in accounting for a business

combination are discussed below after Example 6.
IFRS 10
This standard gives guidance on what constitutes control and applies to the
preparation and presentation of consolidated financial statements

GROUP
As mentioned earlier, the objective of consolidated financial statements is to

present financial information of the group as that of a SINGLE ECONOMIC
ENTITY.
The following procedures are therefore required in the preparation of

consolidated financial statements:
1. addition, on a line by line basis, of like items of assets, liabilities, equity
income and expenses (no journal entry required for this).
2. elimination of the carrying amount of the parent’s investment in each
subsidiary and the parent’s portion of equity of each subsidiary; goodwill is
recognised (by means of an adjusting (pro-forma) journal entry)
3. identification of the non-controlling interests share of equity (pre- and post-
acquisition) (by means of adjusting (pro-forma) journal entries)
4. elimination of all intragroup balances, transactions, income and expenses.
(by means of adjusting (pro-forma) journal entries)
Be aware, the above process refers to the combination (consolidation) of two

separate trial balances to form one new trial balance. The combination
(consolidation) must be repeated at the end of every reporting period as there
are no continual underlying consolidated records (general ledgers). The
underlying records, substantiating the consolidated trial balance, are the
separate general ledgers for each company.


lOMoARcPSD|12066187
When the separate financial statements used in the consolidation are drawn up
at different reporting dates, adjustments should be made for the effects of
significant transactions or other events occurring between those dates and the
date of the parent’s financial statements. The difference between reporting dates
should not exceed three months (IFRS 10, par. B92).
Consolidated financial statements should be prepared using uniform accounting

policies for like balances, transactions and other events in similar circumstances.
If a member of the group uses accounting policies other than those adopted in
the consolidated financial statements, appropriate adjustments are made to that
group member’s financial statements in preparing consolidated financial
statements (IFRS 10, par. 19, B87).
The elimination/reversal of intragroup balances and intragroup

transactions
In order to produce consolidated financial statements that reflect the results of

the group as a single entity, all internal transactions (those that have taken place
within the group) should be reversed through pro-forma journal entries*. The
consolidated financial statements should reflect only those transactions that have
taken place with external parties.
*Consolidation journal entries (also known as pro-forma journal entries) are

adjustments subsequently made to the aggregated trial balance in order to
produce consolidated financial statements.
Intra-group purchase of shares (parent company purchased shares in

subsidiary)
At the date of acquisition, the cost of the investment in the subsidiary is reversed
against the subsidiary’s equity at that date. This represents the reversal of an
“internal” transaction from the point of view of the group, as a company cannot
reflect an investment in its own equity.

Goodwill and bargain purchase gains
Internally generated goodwill does not meet the definition of an intangible asset
because it is not an identifiable resource, (it is not separable nor does it arise
from contractual or other legal rights) controlled by the entity, that can be
measured reliably at cost. For this reason, internally generated goodwill cannot
be recognised as an intangible asset.
However, when goodwill is purchased in a business combination, it may be

recognised as an asset and measured at its cost (see definition below). Although
it remains non-identifiable, its cost is determinable. Goodwill can therefore be
perceived as a residual “left-over” amount paid for in a business combination.
In summary, goodwill is defined (in a business combination) as the future

economic benefits arising from assets that are not capable of being
individually identified and separately recognised (IFRS 3, Appendix A). In
other words, to the extent that the subsidiary’s identifiable assets, liabilities and
contingent liabilities do not satisfy the criteria for separate recognition, this will
affect the amount that is recognised as goodwill, since goodwill is measured as
the residual difference.
In terms of IFRS 3, goodwill is measured as follows:
The sum of:

(i) the consideration transferred (the price paid for the business)
(ii) the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree (will be
discussed later)
(iii) in a business combination achieved in stages, the acquisition-date
fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the
acquiree (will be discussed in the financial accounting III syllabus)
LESS the net identifiable assets acquired at acquisition date


lOMoARcPSD|12066187
Occasionally, an acquirer will make a bargain purchase, which is a business

combination in which the net identifiable assets acquired exceed the aggregate of
the amounts specified in points (i) to (iii) above. The gain is recognised in profit
and loss in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Example 3: Goodwill and bargain purchase gains
Using the information given in Example 2, answer the following:
You are required to
1. For scenarios (b) and (c), analyse the equity in the subsidiary from the
perspective of the parent.
2. For scenario (b), what does the excess payment for the shares represent
(assuming all the assets and liabilities in the trial balance of S are at fair
value)?
3. For scenario (c), what does the discount on the payment for the shares
represent (assuming all the assets and liabilities in the trial balance of S are at
fair value)?
4. For scenarios (b) and (c), prepare consolidated trial balances at 1 January

5. For scenarios (b) and (c), prepare the consolidating journal entries as at 1

CONSOLIDATION AFTER TRANSACTION DATE (ACQUISITION DATE)
IFRS 3 and IFRS 10 require a parent company, as from the date it gains control to
 incorporate into the statement of comprehensive income the income and

expenses of the subsidiary, and
 recognise in the statement of financial position the identifiable assets and
liabilities of the subsidiary and any goodwill arising on acquisition.

Part 4:
Purpose of the analyzing the equity of S
To understand what is pre-acquisition, what is at acquisition and what is post-

acquisition. Pre-acquisition profits cannot be in the group books as the parent
didn’t control the subsidiary when those pre-acquisition profits were earned and
therefore shouldn’t be part of the group’s retained earnings.
We need to know what the equity is at acquisition so that we can reverse it out as
part of our at acquisition consolidating J/E
We need to know what is post-acquisition so that we know what was

earned/incurred while under the control of the group and therefore should be part
of the group’s equity.
The analysis of equity is a quick tool to analyse the equity of S from a GROUP
perspective from the date of acquisition of S’s shares to the end of the current
financial year. By using the analysis, one can eliminate the preparation of the
worksheet for purposes of answering tutorial and test questions.
The analysis of equity should be divided into three parts as follows:

1. At the date of acquisition
a. to establish the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the subsidiary
b. to calculate goodwill or bargain purchase option
c. to determine the equity at acquisition that must be reversed by means of
a journal entry (due to an intragroup transaction)
2. The period between the date of acquisition and the beginning of the
current financial year to establish the post-acquisition profits or losses of the
subsidiary attributable to the parent company. These post acquisition
movements in profits (or equity) were not originally purchased and are

lOMoARcPSD|12066187
therefore not eliminated. Instead they are have been added to the profits of the
parent in the consolidation process. For purposes of tutorial and test
questions, one can add these profits directly to the correct line item in the
financial statements (eg retained earnings balance at the beginning of the
year).
3. The change in profits during the current financial year. These profits are
added to the profits of the parent in the consolidation process. For purposes of
tutorial and test questions, one can add these profits directly to the correct line
item in the financial statements (e.g. revenue, cost of sales, tax expense in the
statement of comprehensive income).
At the end of this example you should be able to:

1. complete an analysis of equity and explain the reason for splitting profits
into 3 periods
2. use the analysis of equity in the preparation of the financial statements
3. prepare consolidated financial statements
4. prepare the pro-forma journal entry required at acquisition for the reversal of
the intragroup transaction
5. explain why the consolidated procedures and journal entries must be
repeated every year to obtain consolidated financial statements
INTRAGROUP FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Intragroup balances such as loans, receivables and payables must be reversed

in the preparation of group financial statements. This is because the group of
companies that are consolidated must be reflected as a single economic entity
and only transactions that are external to the group must be shown.
The financial asset of the one company within the group must therefore be
reversed against the financial liability of the other company within the group. Any
resulting finance charges charged or earned should also be reversed on
consolidation.
It is important to understand that these reversals have no effect on the net asset
value or the profit earned by the group. They are done merely to correct the
disclosure in the group.
Intra-group dividends
Dividends reflected in the statement of changes in equity should be those of the
parent company only. This is because the share capital on the face of the
consolidated statement of financial position is that of the parent company only,
and it therefore makes sense for the dividends to be those payable to the
parent’s shareholders. In addition to this it is essential to reverse these intra-
group dividends for disclosure purposes.


lOMoARcPSD|12066187
There is another more important reason for reversing dividends received against
those declared by the subsidiary. This is because, on consolidation, 100% of the
“pre-dividend” profits of the subsidiary are aggregated on a line by line basis to
those of the other group companies. If dividends received from the subsidiary
are not reversed, then the profits from the subsidiary will be duplicated in the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
The consolidating journal entry for dividends declared is as follows:

Dr Dividend received (SOCI)
Cr Dividends declared/paid (SOCIE)
Dr Shareholders for Dividends (recorded by S)

Cr Dividends Receivable (recorded by H)

INTRAGROUP TRADING TRANSACTIONS
Intragroup trading (eg inter-company sale of inventory/plant) will require

consolidation adjustments where the goods traded are still owned by one of the
companies in the group, i.e. have not yet been disposed of to an external party.
There are three reasons for the consolidating adjustments required for intragroup
trading:
1. Sales and cost of sales should only include those sales and cost amounts
relating to transactions with external parties.


lOMoARcPSD|12066187
2. The cost of the asset in the statement of financial position should reflect
the cost to the group (ie. the amount paid to an external party).
3. Profit on sale of the asset should only be recognised once the asset has
been sold outside the group (ie to an external party). Adjustments are
necessary for any portion of the profits that are unrealised (unearned from
a group perspective) i.e., profits relating to goods that are still owned
within the group.
If the consolidation journal entries were not done, this would result in overstated
sales, cost of sales, inventory, property, plant and equipment and profit/losses on
sale of property, plant and equipment.
Example 6
SCENARIO 1: Intragroup sale of inventory. All inventory on hand at year

end.
P Limited (the parent company) sold R100 inventory to S Limited (subsidiary) for
R150. S Limited has all the inventory on hand at year end.
P Ltd S Ltd
Dr Inventory 100 Dr Inventory 150

Cr Bank 100 Cr Bank 150
(original purchase of inventory from (intra-group purchase of inventory

external company) from parent company)
Dr Cost Of Sales 100

Cr Inventory 100
Dr Bank 150
Cr Sales 150
(intra-group sale of inventory to

Subsidiary company)
1. P Ltd and S Ltd form a GROUP company (single entity) upon

CONSOLIDATION.
2. When consolidating (adding) the two companies together, the GROUP

financial statements would reflect both a sale (by P) and a purchase (by S) of
the same inventory. Essentially, the inventory would remain in the group’s


lOMoARcPSD|12066187
statement of financial position, but would have a greater carrying amount than
before. A gross profit would also be reported in the group statement of
comprehensive income in relation to that same inventory.
 Sales and cost of sales (hence gross profit) of the GROUP would increase
(since P reports the sale and cost of sales to S in its statement of
comprehensive income)
 The cost of inventory in the GROUP would increase (since S reports the new
cost of inventory in its statement of financial position).
In the above example, P made a profit of R50 and the inventory increased in
value by R50 (from R100 to R150). Therefore from a GROUP perspective, the
inventory was in effect “revalued” through gross profit in the statement of
comprehensive income. This is an intragroup transaction and is clearly
unacceptable as inventory should always be carried at the lower of cost (to the
group) and net realisable value.
3. It is therefore necessary to reverse the overstated sales and cost of sales, the
unearned profit and any overstated inventory.
FROM A GROUP perspective, only sales to external entities should be reflected.

Therefore the following pro-forma journal entry should be passed when
consolidating (adding) the two companies.
Reversing out intra-group sale AND

Dr Sales of P 150
unearned profit
Cr Cost of Sales of P 100
Cr Inventory of S 50 Reducing “overstated”

Cr Cost of Sales 150 disclosure purposes

Dr Cost of Sales 50 included in “overstated” inventory
Cr Inventory 50 still on hand


lOMoARcPSD|12066187
SCENARIO 2: Intragroup sale of inventory. All inventory sold by year end.
P Limited sells to S Limited, who then sells all the inventory to an external entity
before year end.

Therefore the following pro-forma journal entry should be passed when
consolidating (adding) the two companies.

purposes only. Note, there is no inventory on
Cr Cost of Sales of P 150
hand in the group, therefore no unearned
profit from a group perspective.


lOMoARcPSD|12066187
SCENARIO 3: Intragroup sale of inventory. Some inventory is still on hand

at the end of the year.
P Limited sells to S Limited, who sells a part of the inventory to an external entity.
P Ltd S Ltd

(original purchase of inventory from external (intra-group purchase of inventory from

company) parent company)
Dr Cost Of Sales 100 Dr Cost Of Sales 120

Cr Inventory 100 Cr Inventory 120
Dr Bank 150 Dr Bank 210

Cr Sales 150 Cr Sales 210
(intra-group sale of inventory to Subsidiary (Sale of 80% of the inventory to an external

company) entity – therefore R30 inventory still on hand)
MARK-UP ON COST = 50%
FROM A GROUP PERSPECTIVE, only the “EXTERNAL” transactions should be

reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, from a GROUP
PERSPECTIVE, the original purchase of the inventory and subsequent sale
should appear as follows:
Dr Inventory 100
Cr Bank 100
(Original purchase of inventory from external company)
80% of the inventory was SOLD. The

sale must therefore reflect the reduction
of inventory at the cost to the group (ie
Dr Cost of Sales 80 cost paid to external entity) and not at
Cr Inventory 80 the intra-group cost (S’s costs)
Dr Bank 210
Cr Sales 210
Sale of 80% of the inventory to an external entity.


lOMoARcPSD|12066187
On consolidation we simply ADD 2 sets of financial statements (P + S).

By adding the transactions for the sale of inventory of both P and S one would
not achieve a set of records reflecting the sale of inventory from the perspective
of single economic entity. Instead, the sales (sales of P + S), cost of sales (P +
S) and inventory would be overstated.
It is therefore necessary to process a pro-forma in order to achieve the GROUP

VIEW above (perspective of a single economic entity).
The journal entries that should be passed should reverse P’s and S’s entries, and
instead reflect the entries required from a group perspective. When aggregated,
the journal entry required to obtain this perspective, is as follows:
Reversing out intra-group sale AND

Dr Sales 150 unearned profit
Cr Cost of Sales 140
Cr Inventory 10 Reducing “overstated”

Dr Deferred Tax 3
Cr Tax Expense 3


lOMoARcPSD|12066187
 In scenario 1, when all the inventory was still on hand, the unearned profit
in P was R50 and inventory was over-stated by R50
 In scenario 2, none of the inventory was on hand at year end and so there
was no unearned profit in the group. The only journal entry that was
required was one for disclosure.
 In scenario 3, only 80% of the inventory was sold to an external entity,
therefore only 80% of the unearned profit was realised (ie R40 was
realised), the remaining 20% of the inventory was therefore still overstated
by unearned profit.
THEREFORE, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE

ONLY UNEARNED PROFIT IN THE GROUP IS THAT PROFIT STILL
INCLUDED IN THE INVENTORY AMOUNT ON HAND (ie the inventory that
has not yet been sold).
 This implies that R10 still remains “unearned” and the inventory is
therefore also still overstated by R10.
SCENARIO 4:
 Presume that SCENARIO 3 occurred last year (ie. S had R30 inventory
(bought from P) on hand at the end of the year).
 The R30 of inventory on hand at the end of the year was overstated by
R10 (unearned profit – see scenario 3).
 Therefore P reflected a profit of R10 in its’ financial statements at the end

of last year. From a GROUP perspective, the profit was UNEARNED at
the time and was therefore reversed through a pro-forma.
 The pro-forma journal entries REVERSED these UNEARNED and

OVERSTATED amounts for GROUP purposes.
In the current year, the inventory of R30 was finally sold and therefore from a
GROUP perspective, the profit reflected in P last year, was only EARNED in the
current year.
WHAT TO DO?
Firstly, we should repeat last year’s pro-forma, reversing out last-year’s profit in P
[as this had not been EARNED by the GROUP at the time.]
1. Dr Retained earnings (last year in Cost of Sales) 10

THE BUSINESS COMBINATION TRANSACTION (IFRS 3 par. 4)
There are several steps (referred to as the acquisition method) involved when
accounting for a transaction involving a business combination. These are as
follows:
1. Identifying the acquirer (which entity obtains control)

2. Determining the date of acquisition (date that the parent obtains control)
3. Recognition and measurement of:
a. the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed;
b. any non-controlling interest in the acquiree (subsidiary) and;
c. goodwill acquired in the business combination or a gain from a
bargain purchase
Recognition and Measurement of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities

assumed
6.1. Initial measurement (IFRS 3 para 10 – 12)

Identifiable assets and liabilities should be recognised and measured at their fair
value at the date of acquisition, provided they satisfy the recognition criteria for
assets and liabilities per the “framework for the preparation and presentation of
financial statements”.
Recall the recognition criteria required for assets and liabilities per the framework
(par. 4.38) as follows:
1. it must be probable that there will be an inflow (for assets) and an outflow
(for liabilities) of future economic benefits
2. the cost of the asset or amount to be settled for the liability can be reliably
measured.
At acquisition date, the cost / amount to be settled of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed is the fair value, as the buyer (investor) pays for the shares (or
assets and liabilities) at fair value.
To the extent that assets or liabilities fail to satisfy the recognition criteria, they
will not be recognised separately and will instead result in a consequent
increase/decrease in the amount of goodwill recognised (see later section on
goodwill). Recall that goodwill is defined per IFRS 3 as the future economic
benefits arising from assets that are not capable of being individually
identified and separately recognised
It frequently happens that the fair values placed on current and non-current assets
and liabilities of the subsidiary by the directors of the parent company will differ
from the values recorded in the accounting records of the subsidiary. The
consequential effects of these differences must be considered in the preparation of


lOMoARcPSD|12066187
consolidated financial statements if the revaluations are not incorporated in the

records of the subsidiary.
6.2 Subsequent measurement (IFRS 3, par. 54)

In general, assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination
should subsequently be measured in accordance with applicable IFRSs for those
items.
Example 8: Company purchases only assets and assumes liabilities of a

business.
On 1 January 20X3 P Limited purchased S Limited’s assets and liabilities for an

amount of R210. The fair value of the land & buildings amounted to R350 and
other assets to R25. The fair value of the liabilities was estimated to be R200.

Part 3
As P Ltd purchased actual assets and liabilities, it must recognise them in its
(separate) financial statements. However, as the assets acquired and liabilities
assumed constitute a business, IFRS 3 requires all assets and liabilities to be
measure at fair value and goodwill/bargain purchase gain is considered. There is
goodwill and so that is also recognised.


lOMoARcPSD|12066187
It is important to note that had this not been the purchase of a business, the
purchase price would have been allocated to the different assets and liabilities
purchased (as, e.g., IAS 16 requires cost to be used).
Part 4
This transaction represents an actual purchase of assets and liabilities between a
buyer and a seller. BUT, as the business of S has been acquired by P and will be
run by P in future, P will include the assets and liabilities acquired in its own
separate financial statements but in accordance with IFRS 3.
With a purchase of shares, S would continue as a separate legal entity and P

would be the majority shareholder (owner). P would also control the assets and
liabilities but control is obtained through the ownership of shares in such a case. P
would only show an “Investment in S” as an asset in its own separate financial
statements AND present consolidated financial statements which reflect all the
assets and liabilities under the control of the group.

REVALUATION OF DEPRECIABLE ASSETS
When a depreciable asset of the subsidiary is revalued by the parent company at

acquisition, it is necessary for the parent company to assess the remaining useful
life of the asset and to reflect the depreciation in the consolidated financial
statements based on this estimate. As the subsidiary might not change the asset’s
value in its own records (e.g. if measure the asset on the cost model) the
depreciation charge from the subsidiary will need to be adjusted on consolidation
to reflect the depreciation from the perspective of the group.
The fair value of the asset at the date of acquisition is the cost of the asset to the
group. Consequently, any accumulated depreciation processed before the date of
acquisition by the subsidiary, must be reversed at acquisition.

INTANGIBLE ASSETS MEASURED AT ACQUISITION DATE
Recognition of intangibles not previously recognised in subsidiary
In terms of IAS 38 par. 8, an intangible asset is an identifiable non-monetary

asset without physical substance.
An asset meets the identifiably criterion per IAS 38 par. 12, when it:
(a) is separable, i.e. is capable of being separated or divided from the entity
and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, even if the acquirer
(parent) does not intend to sell, license or otherwise exchange it.; or
(b) arises from contractual or other legal rights, regardless of whether those
rights are transferable or separable from the entity or from other rights
and obligations for example, if a subsidiary owns and operates a nuclear
power plant, the licence to operate that power plant is an intangible
asset that meets the contractual-legal criterion for recognition separately
from goodwill, even if the parent cannot sell or transfer it separately from
the acquired power plant.
Refer to IFRS 3 par. B33 and B34.
Internally generated goodwill therefore is NOT an intangible asset as it is not

separable and it does not arise from a contractual right. Internally generated
goodwill is not identifiable. (IAS 38, para 49).
Examples of intangible assets include trademarks (contractual/legal right),

internet domain names (contractual/legal right), licences (contractual/legal right),
customer lists (separable) and databases (separable).
In terms of the framework for the preparation and presentation of financial

statements, an item that meets the definition of an asset should be recognised if:
(a) it is probable that any future economic benefit associated with the item
will flow to the entity; and


lOMoARcPSD|12066187
(b) the item has a cost that can be measured with reliability
In terms of IAS 38, internally generated intangible assets can only be recognised
if the development criteria for intangibles per IAS 38 par. 57 are met. The
reason for this, is that it is only when these criteria are met that the criteria for the
recognition of assets (as stated above) are met.
The fair value of an asset is the price that would be received to sell the asset in
an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date
(IFRS 13 par. 9). The fair value of the intangible asset reflects market
expectations about the likelihood (probability) that the future economic benefits
will flow to the entity. In other words, provided that the fair value can be
determined, the usual recognition criterion is always considered to be satisfied
for intangible assets acquired in a business combination (IAS 38 par. 33).
Example 12: Intangible asset developed in a subsidiary
P Ltd acquired 100% of the shares of S Ltd on 1 January 20X3 for R145. S Ltd
was involved in developing a patent, however the recognition criteria for the
patent had not been met and therefore S Ltd had not recognised an intangible
asset. P determined that the fair value of the patent at the date of acquisition
was R30. Assume no amortisation on patent for year ended 31 December 20X2.

RECOGNITION OF CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
AS 37 par. 10 defines a contingent liability as:
(a) a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will
be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more
uncertain future events not wholly within the control of the entity; or
(b) a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised
because:
 it is not probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation; or


lOMoARcPSD|12066187
 the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.
At acquisition date, the acquirer shall recognise a contingent liability assumed in

a business combination if it is a present obligation that arises from past events
and its fair value can be measured reliably (IFRS 3 par. 23). Possible
obligations are not recognised (IFRS 3 BC275) because they do not meet the
definition of a liability.
Contrary to IAS 37, the acquirer recognises a contingent liability assumed in a

business combination at the acquisition date even if it is not probable that an
outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the
obligation. This is because, at acquisition, if the contingent liability is a present
obligation and the fair value of the contingent liability can be determined, the
requirements for recognition are met (see explanation below).
The fair value of a contingent liability is the amount that a third party would
charge to assume the obligation. That amount would reflect all expectations
about possible cash flows and the likelihood of any payment having to be made.
Therefore, the calculation of the fair value takes into account the probability of an
outflow of resources occurring and is thus a reliable measurement of the
obligation (IFRS 3 BC272).
As a result, at acquisition, the contingent liability meets the recognition and

measurement principles of a liability and is therefore recognised separately in a
business combination.
Example 13: Recognition and measurement of contingent liabilities
A Ltd acquired 100% of Z Ltd. At acquisition all identifiable net assets were
considered to be at fair value with the exception of the following:
Z Ltd had two contingent liabilities disclosed in the notes to their separate
financial statements:
1. Z Limited was sued by Mr Dlamini for sale of faulty products. The outcome
of the court hearing will only be established after year end. The lawyers are
confident that Z Limited will win the case. A contingent liability of R40 000
was disclosed.
2. Z Limited was sued by Mr Fitzgerald, a former director, for unlawful
dismissal. According to labour law, Mr Fitzgerald should have been
compensated. The court has not yet decided on the compensation amount,
but Z Limited has disclosed an amount of R30 000. There is an 80%
chance that Z Limited will have to pay the amount disclosed. An insurance
company will charge Z Limited R25 000 to assume the liability.


lOMoARcPSD|12066187
Required
Determine (with reasons) how each of the above contingent liabilities should be
measured and disclosed in the group financial statements of A Limited at the
date of acquisition.
Solution:
1. The first contingent liability is not a present obligation (it is a possible
obligation only) as the lawyers are confident that Z Limited will win the case
(IAS 37 para 16). As there is no present obligation, Z Limited will not
recognise this as a separate liability in the group financial statements instead
the contingent liability will continue to be disclosed at R40 000 in the notes to
the consolidated statements.
2. The second contingent liability described above is a present obligation as the
former director was unlawfully dismissed. His dismissal gave rise to the
obligation according to the labour law. However, the amount of the obligation
was uncertain and Z Limited should have recognised a provision. An amount
of R25 000 should be recognised as a liability in the group financial
statements as this represents the fair value of the liability (the amount that a
third party would charge to assume the liability). No further disclosure
relating to the contingent liability would be required. However, the liability
would need to be recognised in terms of IAS 37, par. 84-87 in the
consolidated financial statements.
Question:
Would the contingent liability relating to Mr Dlamini be recognised as a provision
if the lawyers had been of the opinion that Z Limited would lose the case? Refer
to IAS 37 par. 15 and 16.
________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________
Solution: If the lawyers had been of the opinion that Z Limited would lose the
case, the contingent liability would have to be recognised on consolidation as in
that case it would be more likely than not that a present obligation existed (IAS
37 para 16).


lOMoARcPSD|12066187
Example 14: Recognition and measurement of contingent liabilities

On 1 January 20X1 P Limited purchased 100% of S Limited’s shares for R400.
At acquisition date all net identifiable assets were considered to be fairly valued.
S Limited was in the middle of a legal dispute, the outcome was contingent on a
future court battle scheduled for later in 20X1. S Limited’s lawyers have indicated
that they believe that S Limited will lose the court case and estimated fair value
of the contingent liability at acquisition to be R100.
S Limited as at 31 December 20X0 (extract from SoFP)

Assume SARS will not grant an allowance for this contingency when/if the
amount is finally settled. The R100 was paid in the following year.

The tax base of the contingent liability is calculated at the carrying amount minus
the amount deductible for taxation in the future. There is no amount deductible in
the future therefore the tax base equals the carrying amount at acquisition.
INVESTMENT PROPERTY
Example 15: Investment Property
P Ltd acquired 100% of S Ltd on 31 December 20X1 for R500 when the share
capital was R300 and the retained earnings in S Ltd was R150. All net
identifiable assets were considered to be at fair value at that date except for an
investment property with a carrying amount of R50 and a fair value of R70. S Ltd
accounts for investment property on the cost model, P Ltd accounts for
investment property on the fair value model.
The remaining useful life of the property on 31 December 20X1 is estimated by S
to be 5 years. The fair value of the property at 31 December 20X3 is R90 (20X2:
R85).

was R5.40 each.
3. A piece of land with a book value of R20 000, but a fair value on 1 January

Will this transaction be reflected in the separate financial statements in S?
_No, as the consideration was transferred to the previous owners of S Ltd (for
example the previous human beings that owned S Ltd before the sale of shares
transaction. This is no different to when P Ltd only pays cash for shares in S Ltd
– who actually holds that cash? The previous shareholders and hence S Ltd is
unaffected by sales of its shares after it has issued them.

lOMoARcPSD|12066187
PARTLY OWNED SUBSIDIARIES
When a subsidiary is not controlled entirely by the parent company (or by

subsidiaries of the parent company), the shareholders outside the group are
known as the non-controlling interests. In their role as members of the
subsidiary company, the non-controlling interest have no concern in the
consolidated financial statements, the most important users of which are the
shareholders or potential shareholders of the parent company.
Non-controlling interest is the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or

indirectly, to a parent (IFRS 3 appendix A).
IFRS 10 par. 22 requires non-controlling interests to be presented in the

consolidated statement of financial position within equity, separately from the
equity of the owners of the parent.
The profit or loss for the period as well as each component of other
comprehensive income is attributed to both the parent and the non-controlling
interests (IFRS 10, par. B94).
The non-controlling interest’s share in the equity (net identifiable assets) of the
subsidiary consists of both
 the amount at the date of acquisition and;

 changes in equity since the date of the acquisition.
In other words, they own a percentage of the whole subsidiary’s equity (net
assets).
It is essential to note that non-controlling interests can be measured in one of two

ways at acquisition date, these being (IFRS 3 par. 19):
1. fair value; or
2. the present ownership instruments proportionate share in the recognised
amount of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets
If the non-controlling interests are measured at their proportionate share of

net identifiable assets at acquisition, then the only goodwill that will arise at
acquisition is the goodwill that is paid by the acquirer (the parent company).
If the non-controlling interests are measured at fair value at the date of

acquisition, then the total (100%) goodwill inherent in the subsidiary will be
recognised. The 'full goodwill' option may be elected on a transaction-by-
transaction basis.

CONSOLIDATION AFTER ACQUISITION
IFRS 10 par. B88 states that the income and expenses of a subsidiary are
included in full in the consolidated financial statements as from the date when the
investor gains control over the subsidiary.
Paragraph B94 requires non-controlling interests in the profit of consolidated

subsidiaries for the reporting period to be identified and disclosed separately from
the profit attributable to the owners of the parent.
Example 19: Consolidation after acquisition
On 1 January 20X1, P Limited acquired 75% of the shares in S Limited for

R26 000. All the assets were fairly valued.

ELIMINATION OF INTRAGROUP BALANCES AND TRANSACTIONS
The same principles apply to partly owned subsidiaries as to wholly owned

subsidiaries. However, the non-controlling interests’ share of profits is calculated
without eliminating the intragroup transactions. The intragroup transactions are
eliminated when computing group profit for disclosure purposes only, in other
words, the overall profit of the group does not change.
Example 20: Elimination of intragroup transactions
P Limited acquired 80% of the shares in S Limited when it was formed.

DIVIDENDS
The general requirements of IAS 18 are applied in relation to dividend income

received by a parent from its subsidiary and thus dividends received from
subsidiaries should be recognised in profit or loss when the entity’s right to receive
the dividend is established.
Example 21: Dividends
P Limited acquired 80% of the shares in S Limited on 1 January 20X6 for

R500 000. S Limited declared and paid an interim dividend of R10 000 during
June 20X6. S Limited declared a final dividend of R20 000 at the end of

Elimination of unearned profit
Downstream Sales
A downstream sale is a sale from the parent company to its subsidiary. The
parent company has earned the “inter-company” profit. The reversal of the
unearned profit on consolidation does NOT affect the analysis of equity as the
profit was earned by the parent and not by the subsidiary.

LOSSES INCURRED BY SUBSIDIARY
Where a subsidiary has incurred losses since acquisition, the parent company may
impair the investment if the impairment indicators suggest that the investment is
impaired.
In order to impair the investment, the parent company must decrease its own
profits, by means of processing the following journal entry in its separate financial
statements:
Dr Impairment loss
Cr Investment in S
On consolidation however, the results of the subsidiary are combined with those of
the parent company and the actual loss is combined with the parent company’s
profit. This will result in a double accounting of the loss unless the impairment in
the parent company’s records is reversed back to income.
Example 27: Losses incurred by subsidiary
P Limited purchased 80% of S Limited on formation on 1 January 20X1 for

R20 000.
The following is an extract from the trial balances of P Limited and S Limited at 31
December 20X2:
P S
Retained earnings 50 000 (5 000)
Profit / (loss) for the period 3 600 (8 000)
At 31 December 20X1, there were indications that the investment was impaired
and the recoverable amount was assessed to be R16 000. At 31 December 20X2,
there are also indications that the carrying amount of the investment is impaired
and the recoverable amount is assessed to be R9 600.
NCI is accounted for on the proportionate basis.
Required:
a) Prepare the necessary consolidating journal entries
b) Prepare the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and consolidated

PREFERENCE SHARE CAPITAL
In the calculation of non- controlling interest and the parent’s interest in subsidiary
profits, a subsidiary’s cumulative preference share dividends should be deducted
in full, even though such dividend might not have been declared.
The preference dividend is not attributable to ordinary shareholders and thus this
treatment will ensure that profit relating to preference shares is not erroneously
allocated to ordinary shareholders (parent and non-controlling interest.
