earnings.
3. Appreciate the significance of upstream versus downstream transactions
and the consequential impact on non-controlling interests.

Consolidation procedures
SFRS(I) 10.B86 - Consolidated financial statements:
(a) combine like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and
cash flows of the parent with those of its subsidiaries.
(b) offset (eliminate) the carrying amount of the parent’s investment in
each subsidiary and the parent’s portion of equity of each subsidiary
(SFRS(I) 3 explains how to account for any related goodwill).

(c) eliminate in full intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income,


expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between entities
of the group (profits or losses resulting from intragroup
transactions that are recognised in assets, such as inventory and
fixed assets, are eliminated in full). Intragroup losses may
indicate an impairment that requires recognition in the
consolidated financial statements. SFRS(I)1-12 Income Taxes
applies to temporary differences that arise from the elimination of
profits and losses resulting from intragroup transactions.

What are the basic consolidation entries?

1. Eliminate investment at date of acquisition


2. Recognize the fair value differential (excess of fair value
over book value) of subsidiary’s net assets.
3. Recognize goodwill on acquisition and impairment
4. Amortization and Depreciation of fair value differential
5. Recognize Non-controlling interests share of subsidiary’s
equity from acquisition date to start of current year
6. Recognize Non-controlling interests share of current
year’s adjusted profit (after accounting for upstream
transactions)
7. Eliminate dividends declared by subsidiary in full and
recognize Non-controlling interests share of dividends
(C) Lee Kin Wai 4
What are the typical consolidation entries,
especially on intra-group transactions?
•Eliminate typical intra-group transactions: -
1. Outstanding intra-group receivables and
payables
2. Realized intra-group transactions such as intra-
group services.
3. Dividend income received from subsidiary
4. intra-group transfers of inventories
5. intra-group transfers of non-current assets

Example 1 – elimination of intra-group balances
On 1-1-20x1, P owns 80% of S.
In Parent P’s separate accounts for year 31-12-20x5, there are
1. Long term loan receivable of $200,000 from Subsidiary S.
2. Accounts payable owing to subsidiary S of $600

In Subsidiary S’s separate accounts for year 31-12-20x5, there are


1. Long term loan payable to parent of $200,000.
2. Accounts receivable due from parent of $600
20X5

Example 2 – eliminate intra-group services
On 1-1-20x1, Parent P owns 70% of subsidiary S. P rents its warehouse to S for
$800 in 20X2.
20X2 - S separate accounts:-
Dr. rental expense (P/L) 800
Cr. Cash 800
(rental expense in S separate accounts).
20X2 - P separate accounts
Dr. Cash 800
Cr. Rental Income (P/L) 800
(rental income in P separate accounts).

What is CJE in 20x2?


20X2 - CJE to eliminate intra-group services provided
Dr. Rental Income (P/L) 800
Cr. rental expense (P/L) 800
(eliminate intra-group services provided between P and S)

•No CJE needed in 20x3 (and subsequently) because the rental income and
rental expense was fully realized in prior year 20x2.

Example 3 - Realized transactions relating to interest

On 1-1-20x1, P acquires 90% of S.


On 1-1-20x5, P lends $100,000 to S at the rate of 4% per year.

•CJE 1 to continue if loan receivable & payable still outstanding between P & S.

•Repeat CJE to eliminate interest income for 20x6 and interest expense for 20X6.

•However: - No CJE needed in 20x6 to eliminate prior year interest income and
interest expense because the interest income for 20x5 and interest expense for
20x5 was fully realized in prior year 20x5.

Example 4 - Realized transactions relating to interest to
finance construction of asset (TLK page 244)
• On 1-1-20x1, Parent P borrows from an
unrelated bank (i.e. not related to the group)
$1,000,000 at 5% per year.
• On 1-1-20x1, P lends $1,000,000 to Subsidiary
S at 6% per year for the purpose of constructing a
warehouse. The warehouse was completed on 31-
12-20x1 and has a useful life of 20 years from 1
January 20x2.
• Interest is paid on 31 December but the loan
remains outstanding throughout the period.
• Ignore tax effects.

• In 20x2, the construction of the fixed assets is completed and the asset will be depreciated over a 20-
year period.
• Consolidated accounts to reflect the depreciation of the capitalized interest from external sources &
eliminate the interest from the internal loan.
• Depreciation from the group’s perspective = 50,000 / 20 = 2,500
• Depreciation from the legal entity’s perspective = 60,000 / 20 = 3,000

Example 5: Goodwill impairment in current year
•On 1-1-20X1, P owns 70% of S. Assume NCI is recognized at fair value on
acquisition date. Fair value of NCI at acquisition date is $300,000.
•P did not pay a control premium to buy S. Thus, the ratio of P’s goodwill to NCI’s
goodwill is 70% to 30% (i.e. proportionate) as there is no control premium.
•Suppose current year is 20x2.
•Net income of S in 20x2 is $100,000.
•Goodwill was impaired by $5,000 in year 31-12-20x2.
• What is the CJE in year 20x2 for current year goodwill ?

20X2
CJE 1
•Dr. Impairment of goodwill (P/L) 5,000
Cr. Goodwill (B/S –asset) 5,000

Cr. Non-controlling interest (B/S) 28,500
Non-controlling interest of current year income of S
= 30% x [100,000 – 5,000] = 28,500
(C) Lee Kin Wai 15
Example 6 : Prior year goodwill impairment

•Same facts as previous example.


•Assume NCI is recognized at fair value on acquisition date.
•Goodwill was previously impaired by $5,000 in year 20x2.
•Suppose current year is 20x5.
•What is the CJE in current year 20x5 for previous goodwill
impairment that occurred in year 20x2?

•CJE : Year 20x5


Dr. Retained earnings = 70% x 5,000 = 3,500
Dr. Non-controlling interest (B/S) = 30% x 5,000 = 1,500
Cr. Goodwill (B/S –asset) 5,000
[prior year goodwill impairment ]
Assume NCI is recognized at fair value on acquisition date and thus, NCI has a
share of goodwill impairment. (C) Lee Kin Wai 16
Example 7 – elimination of dividend declared by S
Parent P owns 70% of subsidiary S. Net dividend declared by S is $100.

S separate accounts:-
Dr. Dividend declared (out of Retained Earnings) 100
Cr. Cash 100
(dividend declared and paid by S in S separate accounts).

P separate accounts
Dr. Cash =70% x 100 = 70
Cr. Dividend Income (P/L) 70
[dividend income recognized by P in P’s separate accounts]

CJE to eliminate dividend declared by subsidiary in consolidated accounts


Dr. Dividend Income (P - P/L) 70
Dr. Non-controlling interests (B/S) 30
Cr. Dividend declared by S (SCE) 100
(eliminate dividends declared by S)
(C) Lee Kin Wai 17
Intra-group transfers on inventory
•Downstream sale = sale by parent to subsidiary
•Upstream sale = sale by subsidiary to parent
•Why need to eliminate intra-group transfers of inventory ?
–Profits or losses arising from intra-group transfers of inventory are not
realized from economic entity / group’s perspective.
–Profits or losses arising from intra-group transfers of inventory are
realized from economic entity / group’s perspective when inventory is
subsequently sold to external parties outside the economic entity.

•No adjustment for Non-controlling interests for downstream


sale. Reason : unrealized profit residing in parent.

•For upstream sale by subsidiary to parent, adjust Non-


controlling interests share in unrealized profit or losses.
Reason : unrealized profit residing in subsidiary.

(C) Lee Kin Wai 18


Example 8 : Downstream sale of inventory

Parent P has 70% share of subsidiary S.


In year 20X1, parent bought $20 of inventory and
sold the inventory to subsidiary for $120. During
the year 20x1, subsidiary sold the inventory to an
external customer for $400. Both P and S use
perpetual inventory system.

There is no unsold inventory at year end 20x1.


Assume a tax rate of 20%.

Example 9 : Downstream sale of inventory
and unrealized profit
Parent P has 70% share of subsidiary S.
In year 20X1, parent bought $20 of inventory and sold the
inventory to subsidiary for $120. During the year 20x1,
subsidiary sold 60% of the inventory to an external
customer for $400. Both P and S use perpetual inventory
system.

Thus there is 40% unsold inventory at year end 20x1.

Example 10 : Downstream sale of inventory
unrealized profit in prior year was subsequently realized in
current year.

year 20x2)
•We debit retained opening earnings 1-1-20x2 of parent P as it contains
the unrealized profit due to unsold inventory carried over from 20x1.
•We credit Cost of sales (P/L) to recognize the realization of the
unrealized profit in year 20x2.

Add- unrealized profit from upstream sale realized in current year ( CJE1) 40 @
Less : tax effect of CJE1 (CJE 2) -8 @
Adjusted subsidiary profit 640
Non-controlling interests = 30% x 640 = 192
@We need to adjust Subsidiary profit because this is a prior year upstream sale
by subsidiary S to Parent P. Hence, profit in the prior year upstream sale resides
in subsidiary S. (C) Lee Kin Wai 36
Intra-group transfer of non-current asset
•Why need to eliminate profit from transfer of non-current asset such as
land, plant and equipment, building?
–Profits or losses arising from intra-group transfers of non-current
asset are not realized from group’s perspective.
–Profits or losses arising from intra-group transfers of non-current
asset are realized from group’s perspective when non-current asset
is subsequently sold to external parties outside the economic entity.

•Downstream sale = sale by parent to subsidiary


•Upstream sale = sale by subsidiary to parent

•Need to adjust cost, depreciation and accumulated depreciation as-if


the intra-group transfer of non-current asset did not occur.

•No adjustment for Non-controlling interests for downstream sale.


Reason : unrealized profit residing in parent.

•For upstream sale by subsidiary to parent, adjust Non-controlling


interests share in unrealized profit or losses. Reason : unrealized profit

Example 14 : Downstream sale of building
P owns 70% of S.
P bought a building for $100,000 on 1-1-20x0. Building is depreciated
over 10 years using straight line method with no residual value. On 1-1-
20x2, P sold the building to S for $300,000. After the transfer, S
depreciates the building over 8 years using straight line method with no
residual value. Tax rate is 20%.
