The following information is relevant:

(i) The fair value of MK’s land at the date of acquisition was Tk. 4 million is excess of its carrying value.
MK’s financial statements contain a note of a contingent asset for an insurance claim of Tk. 800,000
relating to some inventory that was damaged by a flood on 5 March 2010. The insurance company is
disputing that claim. MK has taken legal advice on the claim and believes that it is highly likely that
the insurance company will settle it in full in the near future. The fair value of MK’s other net assets
approximated to their carrying values.

1 of 6
(ii) At the date of acquisition HS sold an item of plant that had cost of Tk. 2 million to MK for Tk.2.4
million. MK has charged depreciation of Tk.240,000 on this plant since it was acquired.

(iii) HS’s current account debit balance of Tk. 820,000 with MK does not agree with the corresponding
balance in MK’s books. Investigations revealed that on 26 September 2010 HS billed MK Tk. 200,000 for
its share of central administration costs. MK has not yet recorded this invoice. Intercompany current
accounts are included in accounts receivable or payable as appropriate.

(iv) MK paid an interim dividend of Tk. 400,000 on 1 March 2010. The profit and total dividends (interim
plus final) of MK are deemed to accrue evenly throughout the year. MK’s retained profit of Tk. 8 million
for the year to 30 September 2010 as shown in its balance sheet is after the deduction of both its interim
and final dividends. HS ‘s policy is to credit to income only those dividends received or receivable from
post acquisition profits. He has not yet received or accounted for any dividends from MK. All proposed
dividends were declared by the directors before the relevant year ends.

(v) At 30 September 2010 the value of goodwill in respect of the acquisition of MK has fallen by 10%.

Required:
(a) Prepare the consolidated balance sheet of HS at 30 September 2010. Marks - 20
(b) Suggest reasons why a parent company may not wish to consolidate a subsidiary company, and
describe the circumstances in which non-consolidation of subsidiaries is permitted by International
Accounting Standards. Marks - 5

Notes to the Financial Statements

1. Consolidation notes and assumptions

1(a) Reference is made to the information number (i) of the question. As per IAS 37, para 31, an entity shall not recognise a
contingent asset. According to para 33 of the same IAS, when the realisation of income is virtually certain, then the related
asset is not a contingent asset and its recognition is appropreate. In the question, it is mentioned that MK has taken legal
advise on the claim and believes that it is highly likely that the insurance company will settle it in full in the near future.
Thus, the value of the claim has been recognised in the consolidated balance sheet.
