Chapter 02 - Consolidation Of Financial Information

CHAPTER 2
CONSOLIDATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Accounting standards for business combination are found in FASB ASC Topic 805, “Business
Combinations” and Topic 810, “Consolidation.” These standards require the acquisition method
which emphasizes acquisition-date fair values for recording all combinations.

In this chapter, we first provide coverage of expansion through corporate takeovers and an
overview of the consolidation process. Then we present the acquisition method of accounting for
business combinations followed by limited coverage of the purchase method and pooling of
interests provided in the Appendix to this chapter.

Chapter Outline
I. Business combinations and the consolidation process
A. A business combination is the formation of a single economic entity, an event that
occurs whenever one company gains control over another
B. Business combinations can be created in several different ways
1. Statutory merger—only one of the original companies remains in business as a
legally incorporated enterprise.
a. Assets and liabilities can be acquired with the seller then dissolving itself as a
corporation.
b. All of the capital stock of a company can be acquired with the assets and
liabilities then transferred to the buyer followed by the seller’s dissolution.
2. Statutory consolidation—assets or capital stock of two or more companies are
transferred to a newly formed corporation
3. Acquisition by one company of a controlling interest in the voting stock of a
second. Dissolution does not take place; both parties retain their separate legal
incorporation.
C. Financial information from the members of a business combination must be
consolidated into a single set of financial statements representing the entire economic
entity.
1. If the acquired company is legally dissolved, a permanent consolidation is
produced on the date of acquisition by entering all account balances into the
financial records of the surviving company.
2. If separate incorporation is maintained, consolidation is periodically simulated
whenever financial statements are to be prepared. This process is carried out
through the use of worksheets and consolidation entries. Consolidation
worksheet entries are used to adjust and eliminate subsidiary company accounts.
Entry “S” eliminates the equity accounts of the subsidiary. Entry “A” allocates
exess payment amounts to identifiable assets and liabilities based on the fair
value of the subsidiary accounts. (Consolidation journal entries are never
recorded in the books of either company, they are worksheet entries only.)

II. The Acquisition Method

A. The acquisition method replaced the purchase method. For combinations resulting in
complete ownership, it is distinguished by four characteristics.
1. All assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the combination are recognized and
measured at their individual fair values (with few exceptions).
2. The fair value of the consideration transferred provides a starting point for valuing
and recording a business combination.
a. The consideration transferred includes cash, securities, and contingent
performance obligations.
b. Direct combination costs are expensed as incurred.
c. Stock issuance costs are recorded as a reduction in paid-in capital.
d. The fair value of any noncontrolling interest also adds to the valuation of the
acquired firm and is covered beginning in Chapter 4 of the text.
3. Any excess of the fair value of the consideration transferred over the net amount
assigned to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recognized by
the acquirer as goodwill.
4. Any excess of the net amount assigned to the individual assets acquired and
liabilities assumed over the fair value of the consideration transferred is
recognized by the acquirer as a “gain on bargain purchase.”
B. In-process research and development acquired in a business combination is
recognized as an asset at its acquisition-date fair value.
III. Convergence between U.S. GAAP and IAS
A. IFRS 3 – nearly identical to U.S. GAAP because of joint efforts
B. IFRS 10 – Consolidated Finanical Statements and IFRS 12 – Disclosure of Interests
in Other Entities both become effective in 2013. Some differences between these
and GAAP

APPENDIX:
The Purchase Method
A. The purchase method was applicable for business combinations occurring for fiscal
years beginning prior to December 15, 2008. It was distinguished by three
characteristics.
1. One company was clearly in a dominant role as the purchasing party
2. A bargained exchange transaction took place to obtain control over the second
company.
3. A historical cost figure was determined based on the acquisition price paid.
a. The cost of the acquisition included any direct combination costs.
b. Stock issuance costs were recorded as a reduction in paid-in capital and are
not considered to be a component of the acquisition price.
B. Purchase method procedures
1. The assets and liabilities acquired were measured by the buyer at fair value as of
the date of acquisition.
2. Any portion of the payment made in excess of the fair value of these assets and
liabilities was attributed to an intangible asset commonly referred to as goodwill.

3. If the price paid was below the fair value of the assets and liabilities, the accounts
of the acquired company were still measured at fair value except that the values of
certain noncurrent assets were reduced in total by the excess cost. If these values
were not great enough to absorb the entire reduction, an extraordinary gain was
recognized.

The Pooling of Interest Method (prohibited for combinations after June 2002)
A. A pooling of interests was formed by the uniting of the ownership interests of two
companies through the exchange of equity securities. The characteristics of a pooling
are fundamentally different from either the purchase or acquisition methods.
1. Neither party was truly viewed as an acquiring company.
2. Precise cost figures stemming from the exchange of securities were difficult to
ascertain.
3. The transaction affected the stockholders rather than the companies.

B. Pooling of interests accounting

1. Because of the nature of a pooling, determination of an acquisition price was not
relevant.
a. Since no acquisition price was computed, all direct costs of creating the
combination were expensed immediately.
b. In addition, new goodwill arising from the combination was never recognized
in a pooling of interests. Similarly, no valuation adjustments were recorded for
any of the assets or liabilities combined.
2. The book values of the two companies were simply brought together to produce a
set of consolidated financial records. A pooling was viewed as affecting the
owners rather than the two companies.
3. The results of operations reported by both parties were combined on a retroactive
basis as if the companies had always been together.
4. Controversy historically surrounded the pooling of interests method.
a. Any cost figures indicated by the exchange transaction that created the
combination were ignored.
b. Income balances previously reported were altered since operations were
combined on a retroactive basis.
c. Reported net income was usually higher in subsequent years than in a
purchase since no goodwill or valuation adjustments were recognized which
require amortization.
