CHAPTER 6
Subsequent-Year Consolidations:
General Approach
This chapter presents the last of the material that is crucial to an understanding of
intercorporate investments, business combinations, and consolidations. The material in
the Appendices to Chapter 6 (parent company investment in non-voting shares and
intercompany bond holdings involving premiums or discounts) are additional aspects that
are interesting and that occasionally arise in Canadian practice, but are not central
concepts of consolidations.
The previous two chapters illustrated intercompany sales of inventory and non-
depreciable capital assets, but avoided the additional complexity of intercompany sales of
depreciable capital assets. Therefore, this chapter begins with a discussion of such asset
transfers.
The second major section presents the general approach to subsequent-year

consolidations. The example is of consolidation of a non-wholly owned subsidiary that
was acquired in a business combination—the most complex example. Consolidation of
wholly owned subsidiaries is simpler, and consolidation of wholly owned subsidiaries
that were founded by the parent are simpler still (and much more common). The direct
approach to consolidation is used throughout, as in the preceding chapters. The
worksheet approach is available on the companion website to this text. Equity basis
reporting and consolidated reporting of discontinued operations is also discussed.
Appendix 6A addresses those circumstances where the investee company has outstanding
restricted and/or preferred shares in addition to common shares. The treatment of these
preferred shares, whether owned by the parent company or by outside interests, on
consolidation is discussed. The impact of restricted shares on control and the allocation of
earnings is also discussed.
Appendix B to Chapter 6, available only online, discusses consolidation of

intercompany bond holdings. The Appendix illustrates both the par value and
agency approaches to intercompany bond holdings, including the impact on non-
controlling interest of each approach. Although the challenges presented by open-
market purchases of a related company’s bonds at a premium or discount are
intellectually interesting, such transactions are very seldom encountered in
Canadian practice. This appendix may be omitted without seriously jeopardizing
students’ understanding of consolidations.

Chapter 6 – Subsequent-Year Consolidations: General Approach
SUMMARY OF ASSIGNMENT MATERIAL
Case 6-1: International Consolidators Inc.

An analyst friend compares the return on equity calculated based on consolidated numbers two
years after the acquisition of the subsidiary with the return on equity of the parent and the
subsidiary at the time of the acquisition of the latter and concludes that there is no synergy between
them. Students are required to adopt the role of the friend of the analyst and are required to first
calculate the separate entity financial statements of the parent using the consolidated statements
and the separate entity statements of the subsidiary, and second to explain to the friend why
consolidation-related adjustments might be clouding the return on equity calculation based on the
consolidated statements. Students are also required to explain whether and to what extent the
various financial statements truly represent the operations and financial position of the two entities.
Case 6-2: Alright Beverages Ltd.

Alright Beverages Ltd. is a multi-topic case that deals primarily with the reporting issues that arise
from a series of transactions among related companies. It is a demanding case that requires
students to look beyond the surface implications.
Case 6-3: Le Gourmand

Half of the issued voting shares of a small company have been purchased by the company’s largest
customer. Ownership of the other half of the voting shares is somewhat diffuse and the
shareholders are disinterested in the affairs of the company. Has the new owner acquired control?
The case requires a discussion of the alternative accounting options and a recommendation. A
calculation of net income is also required.
Case 6-4: Constructive Inspirations Inc.

This case is quite demanding, especially when assigned as an exam question. It tests students’
understanding of how consolidation-related adjustments relating to a non-wholly owned subsidiary
purchased a few years ago impact current net income and ending owners’ equity.
A couple is divorcing amicably, and the divorce settlement requires the valuation of an
architectural company run by one of them. Valuation is to be based on the greater of six times net
income or ending owners’ equity, both calculated based on IFRS. The architectural company, along
with the friends of the architect spouse, owns shares in a supplier of architectural products. The
appropriate accounting option to account for this investment has to be recommended. A discussion
of the impact of consolidation-related adjustments on net income and owners’ equity respectively
is required. The case also requires a discussion of the “fairness” of using IFRS-based financial
statements for determining the company’s value.
P6-1 (20 minutes, medium)

This problem requires adjustments over a four-year period, ignoring taxes, for an intercompany
depreciable capital asset sale. There is a non-controlling interest in the subsidiary, and the sale is
upstream.


Upstream sale of a 70% depreciated asset by an 80% owned subsidiary. The need to restore the
original accumulated depreciation adds a slight twist to the exercise. Eliminations for two non-
consecutive years are required.

This problem examines the adjustments required for an unrealized profit in inventory and a gain on
the sale of land, both upstream, where there is a 30% non-controlling interest over a two-year
period.

Intercompany sales of inventory, land and building between a parent and two subsidiaries (80%
and 70% owned). Eliminating entries and NCI effects are required.

Calculation of NCI and consolidated net income four years after acquisition. A good problem for
practice at applying the techniques of consolidation without going through an entire set of
consolidated statements.

Computation of consolidated net income and retained earnings for a parent and two subsidiaries.
The emphasis is on intercompany sales of inventory wherein one subsidiary sells to the parent,
which in turn sells to the other subsidiary.
P6-7 (45 minutes, easy)

This is a straight-forward exercise on preparing a consolidated statement of financial position five
years after acquisition. It is a good practice exercise (or examination question) as it contains no
unexpected twists.

Cost versus equity reporting of the investment account five years after purchase. Includes
amortization of a FVI on a building.

Calculation of equity-basis earnings and investment account one year following acquisition. This
problem illustrates equity-basis adjustments for FVI’s, but does not include any intercompany
transactions. P6-10 extends this problem for one more year and does include intercompany sales of
inventory and unrealized profits.

This is an extension of P6-9 that adds intercompany transactions and unrealized profits. Equity-
basis investment income and investment account balance are required, two years after the
investment.


Cost versus equity reporting of a 30% investment three years after purchase. An equity-basis
investor statement of comprehensive income is required, plus determination of the investment
account. There are no FVIs or intercompany transactions.

This problem involves investments in three other companies, with two reported on the equity basis
and one on the cost basis. Discussion of the appropriateness of the cost and equity methods is
required. The transactions and the entries required cover a one-year period.

Consolidated SFP amounts (not a full SFP) and equity basis earnings in the subsidiary are required
for an 80% subsidiary four years after acquisition. There are several unrealized profits (and one
intercompany loss that may be assumed to reflect a decline in recoverable value).

Preparation of a consolidated statement of financial position following upstream sales of inventory
and a downstream sale of equipment.

Calculation of the carrying value of goodwill when 80% of the shares have been purchased,
preparation of a consolidated statement of comprehensive income three years later, including
upstream and downstream unrealized profits and calculation of inventory and non-controlling
interest on the statement of financial position three years later.

This problem requires the calculation of consolidated net income and selected SFP amounts two
years after the purchase of a 70% interest in a subsidiary. In addition, the journal entry at the time
of acquisition is required.

This problem requires the preparation of a consolidated statement of comprehensive income and
consolidated statement of retained earnings six years after a 70% purchase, the calculation of
consolidated retained earnings at the beginning of the year and an explanation of the treatment of
the unrealized profit on an equipment sale. A number of adjustments are required including fair
value increments, unrealized profits on inventory (upstream) and a gain on sale of equipment
(downstream). This problem also includes an impairment of goodwill.

This problem requires the preparation of a consolidated statement of comprehensive income and
the calculation of specific accounts on the consolidated statement of financial position six years
after a 70% acquisition. In addition to unrealized upstream inventory profits, this problem
incorporates the sale to external parties of a trademark with an unrealized gain.


This problem is similar to P6-16 as it requires the preparation of a consolidated statement of
comprehensive income and the calculation of specific accounts on the consolidated statement of
financial position four years after a 70% acquisition. There are a number of adjustments including
an unrealized profit on an upstream land sale, downstream unrealized inventory profits and a
goodwill impairment.
P6-20 (45 minutes, difficult)

The challenge in this problem is in preparing the consolidated statement of comprehensive income
given a variety of intercompany sales and other intercompany transactions. A challenging and
worthwhile problem.
Case 6A-1
This case is an adaptation of the comprehensive exam of the 1999 UFE. The students need to
consider the impact of an acquisition on the EPS and accounting policies. There is a potential for
loss of control depending on the method of financing that is selected for the acquisition. Audit
issues also need to be considered.
Case 6A-2
It is not always clear just when a joint venture qualifies for joint venture accounting. In this case, a
joint venture is described in which one partner does have a majority of the board of directors but is
restricted in its control by only 50% voting rights and by a joint venture agreement that requires
consent of both co-ventures for substantive alteration of the terms. The case asks students to
discuss the appropriateness of using four methods of accounting for the investment.
P6A-1 (40 minutes, easy)

This is an exercise in separating the reporting effects of an investment in both common and
preferred shares. Equity reporting is assumed rather than consolidation.
P6A-2 (45 minutes, medium)

A consolidated statement of financial position is required where the parent owns a portion of the
outstanding preferred shares. The purchase price of the subsidiary’s share differs from the
redemption value.
P6A-3 (15 minutes, easy)

Calculation of the non-controlling interest on the consolidated statement of financial position at the
date of acquisition and one year later is required. The subsidiary has preferred and common shares
outstanding and the parent owns 80% of the common shares.
P6B-1 (20 minutes, medium)

Elimination entry for an intercompany bond investment in a subsidiary, assuming first that the
subsidiary is wholly owned, and then that it is 75% owned. Both agency and par value approaches
are required.


Calculation of selected amounts one year after acquisition of an 80% interest, given downstream
sales of inventory and land and a purchase of subsidiary bonds by the parent at a premium.

This problem has two distinct and separable parts: (1) an upstream sale of land and buildings by
one subsidiary, and (2) a purchase of another subsidiary’s bonds by the parent. Statement amounts
are required (including non-controlling interest in earnings) rather than eliminating entries. The
bond aspect requires use of the par-value method.

A consolidated statement of comprehensive income is required, plus calculation of specified
statement of financial position amounts. The bond transaction does not affect non-controlling
interest. The fixed asset sale is upstream.
ANSWERS TO REVIEW QUESTIONS
Q6-1: Profits on intercompany sales are unrealized when the merchandise or other assets have not
been resold to outside third parties or been consumed by amortization or depreciation.
Q6-2: The unrealized loss on sale of a capital asset at its fair market value may or may not be
eliminated on consolidation. The key question is whether the reduced fair market value reflects an
impairment in the value of the asset. Under IFRS, an impairment loss exists when the carrying
value of the asset exceeds its recoverable value. The recoverable value of an asset represents the
higher of its (1) fair value less costs to sell, and (2) value in use. If the original carrying value of
the asset still does not exceed the asset’s recoverable value to the consolidated enterprise despite
the low resale value, then the loss would be eliminated. If, on the other hand, the resale value is
low because the recoverable value of the asset has been impaired, the intercompany loss would not
be eliminated.
Q6-3: When assets are sold horizontally between non-wholly owned subsidiaries, the unrealized
profit is in the accounts of the selling company. Further, such sales are treated as upstream sales.
Therefore, 100% of the unrealized gains has to be eliminated in the consolidated financial
statements, allocating 60% to the parent’s owners and the rest, 40%, to the non-controlling interest.
Thus, while the consolidated net income should be adjusted to the full extent of the unrealized gain
of $20,000, 60% or $12,000 should be allocated to the owners of P and 40%, $8,000 should be
allocated to the non-controlling interest.
Q6-4: Equity-basis earnings should be adjusted for the investor company’s share of unrealized
profits from sales between significantly influenced investee corporations. In this example, $20,000
of unrealized profit is in the reported net income of IE1, of which IR has a 30% share. Therefore,
the adjustment to IR’s share of IE1’s earnings will be $6,000.

Q6-5: The profit on an intercompany sale of a depreciable asset is gradually realized over the
productive life of the asset, as the asset is used in the revenue generating activities of the buying
company. In accounting terms, the using up of the asset is reflected by depreciation. Therefore, the
unrealized profit is realized year-by-year as the asset is depreciated.
Q6-6: If a company sells a long-lived asset that is part of its inventory, either upstream or
downstream, it is accounted for as sales revenue with offsetting cost of sales instead of as a gain on
sale. The gross profit on the sale would still be considered unrealized.
Q6-7: IAS 38, Intangible Assets, requires disclosure of the gross carrying amount and any
accumulated amortization at the beginning and end of each period for each class of intangible
assets. Therefore, entities following IFRS will need to keep track of the gross and accumulated
amortization amounts separately in different accounts for various classes of intangible assets. Such
requirements apply to capital assets as well. Hence, under IFRS, adjustments required upon the sale
of an intangible asset with a limited life such as a patent will be the same as the adjustments
required on the sale of a capital asset. However, earlier standards did not impose the same
disclosure requirements as required under IFRS for intangible assets. Therefore, a separate
accumulated amortization amount may not have been maintained in relation to these intangible
assets. In such an event, upon the sale of an intangible asset instead of a capital asset, the two
amounts for the asset account and the accumulated amortization account would have been netted
together.
Q6-8: Consolidated retained earnings is comprised of the parent’s retained earnings, plus the
parent’s share of earnings retained by the subsidiary since the date of acquisition (less any
unrealized profits of the parent, the parent’s share of any unrealized profits of the subsidiary, and
amortization of any fair-value increments, decrements or goodwill).
Q6-9: Ordinarily, any unrealized profit on an upstream intercompany asset sale is deducted from
the recorded carrying value of the asset on the parent’s books and from the consolidated retained
earnings. However, a subsidiary might sell an asset on which an unamortized fair value increment
from the time of the purchase of the subsidiary by the parent exists. In such a case, the unamortized
fair value increment reduces the unrealized profit from the viewpoint of the consolidated entity.
Therefore, the unrealized profit elimination is not for the amount of profit booked by the subsidiary
but is for the difference between the intercompany sales price and the amortized fair value of the
asset (i.e. carrying value of the asset from the consolidated perspective). The remaining gain will
be offset by the unamortized fair value increment adjustment.
Q6-10: In the year of the sale, any unamortized fair value increment on the asset sold is charged to
the gain or loss that has been recorded for the sale. In subsequent years, the charge will be to
consolidated retained earnings.
Q6-11: When the equity method is used for recording, the parent’s share of the subsidiary’s
earnings is included in the parent’s retained earnings. Since the same amounts also appear in the
subsidiary’s retained earnings, the subsidiary’s earnings will be counted twice unless they are
adjusted. Therefore, the process of consolidation under the equity method differs from the process

under the cost method of recording only in that the equity pick-up of earnings made by the parent
must be reversed or eliminated in order to avoid double counting the earnings and the investment
account must be eliminated.
Q6-12: The equity-basis balance represents the parent’s share of the amortized fair values of the
subsidiary’s net assets as originally acquired, plus the parent’s share of the change in the
subsidiary’s net assets since the date of acquisition less/plus any unrealized gains/losses relating to
inter-company transactions at year-end.
Q6-13: Under equity basis reporting, the “equity in earnings” captures all of the effects of the
relationship between the investor and the investee corporations, without disturbing the basic
financial reporting of the activities of the parent or investor corporation. In addition, the “equity in
earnings” reflects the change in the investor’s investment account and all changes in net asset
values that relate to that account.
CASE NOTES
Case 6-1
Role:
First, prepare the separate entity financial statements of ICI and the associated calculations.
Second, compare the financial statements prepared by me with the consolidated statements of ICI
and the separate entity statements of PTI and explain to my friend how the consolidation-related
adjustments may potentially mask the presence of synergy between ICI and PTI. Third, explain to
my friend to what extent the separate entity and consolidated financial statements of ICI
appropriately reflect the true economic operations and situation of ICI.
Constraints:
Since ICI has used IFRS to arrive at its financial statements, all consolidation-related adjustments
required under IFRS need to be undone.
Critical Success Factors:

Correctly prepare the separate entity FS of ICI and explain to my friend using non-technical
language the impact of consolidation-related adjustments on the financial results reported by ICI in
its consolidated financial statements. Further explain to my friend to what extent the separate entity
and consolidated financial statements of ICI respectively reflect its true economic operations and
position.
Users & Objectives:

The financial statements and my report are being prepared for the sole use of my friend. My friend
is trying to analyze the financial results of ICI from the point of view of an analyst; specifically he
is looking to see whether the synergy between ICI and PTI touted by the management of ICI at the
time of its acquisition of PTI is indeed present. There are no other users of the financial statements
and report prepared by me. However, the financial statements provided to me, the consolidated

financial statements of ICI and the separate entity financial statements of PTI were prepared and
reported by their respective management and thus may be biased to the extent the respective
management teams have tried to meet their objectives keeping in mind the users of their respective
financial statements and their objectives.

Analysis of Financial Statements & Report to Friend:

I have calculated different returns on equity measures based on the separate entity financial
statements of ICI and PTI respectively, and alternate returns on equity measures based on the
consolidated financial statements of ICI. While these different measures can be used to compare
the performance of ICI and PTI in 20X7 with their performance at the time of the acquisition of

PTI, it is important to understand that such comparison may not necessarily shed light on the
presence or absence of synergy between ICI and PTI.

The provided returns on equity of PTI and ICI at the time of acquisition are 20.42% and 10.69%
respectively. In comparison, the returns on equity of PTI and ICI for 20X7, as calculated above, are
17.72% and 10.15%. Thus, both returns on equity in 20X7 are lower than their comparatives at the
time of acquisition. However, notice that both these returns of equity are far above the alternate
returns on equity calculated based on the consolidated numbers, 5.94% and 7.32%. In short, the
returns on equity based on the separate entity financial statements of PTI and ICI are not as bad as
those based on the consolidated financial statements. The reasons for this disparity are:
• The loss of $300,000 recognized in the consolidated SCI relating to the impairment of the
goodwill arising from the acquisition of PTI,
• The fair value adjustment amortization of $135,000 relating to the identifiable net assets of PTI
on the consolidated SCI in 20X7,
• The unrealized gains present in the ending inventories of PTI and ICI relating to the inter-
company sales of inventory between them being higher by $23,000 compared to the unrealized
gains in the beginning inventories of the two companies.
Note that these additional expenses/adjustments do not show up on the separate entity financial
statements of PTI. Thus, comparing the consolidated results with the results of PTI at the time of
its acquisition, based on its separate entity statements at that time, is incorrect. Nevertheless, note
that the consolidated adjustments highlighted above are done for genuine reasons. When one
company controls another, the consolidated statements should represent only the results of those

transactions that exist between the consolidated entity and outside entities. Otherwise, a
consolidated entity can very easily inflate the results presented in the consolidated statements by
suitably structuring inter-company transactions.
Additional consolidation-related adjustments include the elimination of upstream as well as
downstream sales between ICI and PTI. Such sales represent 28.53% of the total sales of ICI and
PTI. Thus intercompany sales represent a significant proportion of the total sales of the two entities
and indicate the presence of strong links and potential synergy between them. It is not clear
whether such inter-company transactions existed prior to the acquisition of PTI and ICI. This opens
up the question of why ICI acquired PTI in the first place. ICI may have acquired PTI to
consolidate the market for the products of the two companies, or to fend off a competitor from
acquiring PTI. ICI may have perceived that the market for its products is slowly drying up or the
profit margins are being squeezed, and thus might have purchased PTI to prevent further erosion of
its market share or profitability. If that was the aim of acquiring PTI, the acquisition may indeed
have achieved its desired purpose despite the subsequent decrease in the return on equity.
Therefore, it is not clear why the management of ICI decided to take an impairment loss of
$300,000 in relation to the goodwill arising from the acquisition of PTI. While the separate entity
returns on equity of PTI and ICI in 20X7 are no doubt lower than their counterparts at the time of
the acquisition of PTI, the differences between them do not appear to be that large so as to warrant
writing off the goodwill. There may be many different reasons for such a decrease, some of which
were already pointed out earlier. Further, the recent downturn in the economy may be temporarily
depressing the returns of the two companies. In such an event I think writing off the goodwill may
not be warranted. On the other hand, and notwithstanding the previous reasons, the decrease in the
returns on equity may indeed indicate a permanent decrease in the profitability of the two
companies, meaning that the expected synergy has not occurred. Therefore, if the goodwill was
paid in relation to the expected synergy it is appropriate to write-off the portion of the goodwill that
has no future value. The performance of the combined entity with those of other companies in the
same industry may provide some clues on this issue. However, such comparison has to be done
with caution, since, as we have already seen, the method and type of accounting adopted by
individual companies can have a significant impact on their returns, thereby making an one-on-one
comparison of their results with those of other companies difficult if not impossible.
Another reason for exercising caution while using consolidated SFP numbers is the fact that the
consolidated SFP includes the net assets of ICI at their carrying values, while including the net
assets of PTI at their fair values at the time of PTI’s acquisition less related amortization. This is
like trying to add apples to oranges. Thus, it is really difficult to make sense of any ratios that you
might obtain based on the consolidated numbers. Consequently, it is incorrect to compare the
return on equity calculated based on the consolidated statements of ICI at the end of 20X7 to the
returns on equity at the time of acquisition and conclude that there is no synergy between ICI and
PTI.
In summary, it is premature to conclude based on the decrease in the return on equity of the two
companies subsequent to the acquisition of PTI that synergy between them is absent.
True Picture of the Operations and Financial Position of ICI and PTI:
None of the financial statements provide a true picture of the operations and economic situation of
ICI and PTI at the end of 20X7. Accounting based SFPs report the carrying values of a significant
portion of the net assets of entities most often than not at their historical values, not at their fair

values. For example, it looks as if the fair values of the net assets of ICI including its land holdings
at the end of 20X7 are significantly higher than their carrying values on its separate entity SFP.
PTI’s assets including its significant land holding may also have similarly increased in value since
the time of its acquisition in 20X5. However, such increases are not reported on the any of the
financial statements, separate entity or consolidated. Since land appears to represent a significant
portion of the net assets of PTI and ICI, the consolidated and separate entity SFPs may be
significantly misreporting the true values of the net assets of both companies at the end of 20X7.
Consequently, if returns from holding land represent a significant source of returns for both
companies, such returns will not be shown on the separate entity or consolidated SCIs of the two
companies. In summary, both the returns and the financial positions of ICI and PTI may not be
correctly reflected in their respective separate entity and consolidated financial statements. This
misrepresentation can be alleviated partially if both companies use the revaluation method of
accounting for reporting their assets on their financial statements.
Case 6-2: Alright Beverages Ltd.
Objectives of the Case
This case deals with a number of issues, but the basic focus is on the reporting implications of
transactions among a family of related companies, including revenue recognition, adjustments for
unrealized profits, and reporting long-term installment purchase contracts. The required for the
case can be expanded to include income tax issues.
Objectives of Financial Reporting
The company is publicly held, and thus is IFRS-constrained. It also has debt financing (bank
loans). There is a bonus scheme for at least some of management, including the management of
Concentrated Vending Ltd. (CVL). There is explicit mention of tax deferral as an objective.
Therefore, the reporting objectives would include the following:
1. Performance evaluation
2. Tax deferral
3. Cash flow prediction
4. Profit maximization
Note that there may be different priorities for these objectives in the different reporting units. The
relative ranking of objectives shown above is essentially for the consolidated enterprise. For CVL
as a separate entity, however, profit maximization may move into first or second place due to the
bonus arrangement with the managers of CVL. If the other 30% of CVL is not publicly held, then
performance evaluation may not be an important objective for CVL.

Accounting and Reporting Issues
Sales by VSL to Local Operators
VSL is selling the machines on an easy-payment plan to local operators. The sales contract
includes implicit interest. The alternatives for recognizing revenue include the following:
1. Recognize the present value of the payments, discounted at a market rate of interest for
conditional sales contracts. The interest would be recognized over the life of the sales contracts
on an effective yield basis. This alternative would cause recognition of at least some profit
above the $5,000 cost of the machines to VSL at the time the contract starts. This alternative
permits the earliest recognition of revenue. An allowance for doubtful contracts would have to
be set up. Given the lack of any track record for these contracts, there may be considerable
uncertainty associated with this alternative. If an allowance cannot be estimated, this method
would not be appropriate.
2. Discount the payments to the cost of the machines to VSL of $5,000 each. Revenue would be
recognized only in the form of interest as the contract matures. Revenue would be recognized
later in this alternative than in the former alternative, but it would also tend to delay income
taxes, as was considered desirable.
3. Discount the payments to the cost of the machines to CVL of $3,000 each. This alternative
would work on a consolidated basis, but not very well on a separate-entity basis for VSL. On the
other hand, there may be no need for separate-entity statements for VSL as it is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of ABL. This alternative would also solve the unrealized-profit problem on
consolidation, as will be discussed in the following section.
4. Recognize revenue on a cost-recovery basis. This is the most conservative approach and it
would delay recognition (and taxes) the longest. It is not advantageous for fulfilling the other
reporting objectives, however.
Sales by CVL to VSL
From the viewpoint of CVL as a separate entity, there is no problem with recording the sales when
they occur. However, there is some question as to the permanence of those sales. If VSL cannot
unload all of the machines that it takes, will CVL be required to accept them back? Are returns
estimable? VSL is already expecting to hold 1,200 machines in inventory at the end of the year,
almost 20% of the total purchases. There is a suggestion of profit manipulation for the benefit of
CVL (or its managers). Of course, the intercompany profit will have to be eliminated upon
consolidation.
A less obvious unrealized-profit issue arises from the sale of the machines by VSL to the local
operators. To the extent that the revenue from the outside sales has not been recognized, then that
portion of the intercompany profit per machine must also be eliminated. Therefore, there is a

degree of interaction between the revenue recognition policy for sales by VSL and the realization
of profit by CVL within the consolidated reports of ABL.
Sales by ABL to Bottlers
The bottlers in major cities are wholly owned subsidiaries of ABL. ABL sells the syrups to the
bottlers, presumably at a profit. Revenue could be recognized by ABL (as a separate entity) when
the syrup is sold, or only when the syrup has been used and the product sold by the bottler. As a
separate entity, profit should probably be recognized when the syrup is sold by ABL. For
consolidated reporting, however, unrealized profits on syrup held by the bottlers should be
eliminated, if material in aggregate.
Business Combination
The acquisition of CVL by ABL should be reported by the acquisition method. If the fair values of
the net assets acquired were greater than the purchase price paid by ABL, then the negative
goodwill would have to be recognized as a gain from a bargain purchase. Although the price paid
by ABL was well below the proportionate carrying value, it is possible that the fair value of the net
assets was even lower, thereby resulting in goodwill. Although the presence of goodwill is unlikely
given that CVL was in financial difficulty, a bargain purchase still could have occurred. If there is
goodwill, it must be tested for impairment on an annual basis.
Inventory Valuation
The case mentions that CVL’s current cost to manufacture the machines is “significantly lower
than in previous years.” This comment should trigger examination of CVL’s finished goods
inventory to see if there are machines in stock that are being carried at higher than replacement
cost. If so, a partial write-down may be appropriate if net realizable value has also declined.
Operating Segment Reporting
The additional sales by CVL to VSL will increase CVL’s revenues. Operating segments reporting
may therefore be appropriate. Management may argue, however, that the machine sale is just a part
of an integrated soft drink enterprise, and that the production and distribution of soft drinks
(including the manufacture of the vending machines) is a dominant industry segment that
comprises over 75% of the company’s revenue, profit, and assets.
Note: Segment reporting is discussed extensively in Chapter 7. However, most students will have
been exposed to segment reporting in Intermediate Accounting and therefore should be
familiar with the broad outlines of segment reporting requirements.

Case 6-3: Le Gourmand
Objectives of the Case
This case asks the student to examine the evidence in a business combination and determine what
method of reporting is appropriate for the acquirer. It also requires the calculation of net income.
Objectives of Financial Reporting
Le Gourmand is an incorporated company, as indicated by the name (Le Gourmand Inc). It appears
to be owned by one shareholder, Francois LeClerc, whose main concern regarding the combination
with Ombre Wines is the cash flow from dividends. Le Gourmand has no long term debt
outstanding; its only financing is from short term creditors. Accordingly, unless a bank or other
user requires financial statements in accordance with IFRS, IFRS does not appear to be mandatory,
and the choice of accounting policy should be based on LeClerc’s needs, not on what is required
under IFRS. Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises (ASPE) are an option for Le Gourmand.
Alternative Accounting Policy Choices
Le Gourmand Inc. has purchased 50% of the outstanding voting shares (3,000 of 6,000 issued
common shares) of Ombre Wines Ltd. This is not a majority of the outstanding voting shares, but
may be sufficient to elect a majority of the Board of Directors and to control the operations of
Ombre Wines. The evidence must be examined. Under IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate
Financial Statements, control exists when one entity has the power to direct the financing and
operating activities of another entity to derive benefits from that entity.
While the ownership of a majority of voting shares is usually evidence of control, control can exist
when there is ownership of 50% or less of the voting shares, combined with: (1) an irrevocable
agreement with other shareholders conferring their voting rights to the enterprise, or (2) ownership
of rights, options, warrants, convertible debt, convertible non-voting equity or other instruments,
which, if converted, would result in the enterprise owning a majority voting interest. Further, the
existence of de facto control by a minority shareholder should also be considered in the absence of
formal arrangements which would give it majority of the voting rights. For example, control is
possible when the ownership of the balance of shares is dispersed and such owners have not
organized themselves in such a manner as to exercise more voting shares than the minority
shareholder.
Francois LeClerc’s expectation of future dividends implies that LeClerc intends to hold the shares
for a long time. It also indicates that he expects to be able to control or at least influence the
declaration of dividends, thus control or influence the company. LeClerc purchased most of the
Ombre Wines trading shares, further indicating his desire for control. The fact that he only
purchased 50%, when there were more than 50% trading (since some shares were still available to
the public) indicates that LeClerc felt that 50% was enough to obtain control. He may have based
this on the following: (1) Le Gourmand was Ombre Wines’ largest customer, and (2) although the
founders of the company are still active, their children are selling their interests and do not plan to

take over the business. Thus, there is evidence that Le Gourmand has acquired control of Ombre
Wines.
The common shares held by the original founders and their families must be less than 50%.
However, the original founders own the preferred shares of the company and could potentially
acquire the 1,000 common shares that have not been issued, unless LeClerc is in a position to block
the issue of such shares. This would effectively block Le Gourmand’s control of the company.
Further evidence of control by Le Gourmand, or lack of control on the part of the original owners,
needs to be gathered before it can be concluded that Le Gourmand has control.
If Le Gourmand could show control, consolidation would be the appropriate accounting policy for
reporting its investment in Ombre Wines under IFRS. However, under ASPE, LeClerc can also
elect to account for an investment subject to control using either the cost or equity methods. If
control cannot be exercised, the equity method would be appropriate. Here, LeClerc could elect to
use the cost method if ASPE are adopted. Le Gourmand’s 20X5 net income would be identical
under the consolidation and equity methods. The cost method would not be appropriate under IFRS
since Le Gourmand has more than a passive interest. As mentioned above, however, the owner,
Francois LeClerc, could elect the cost method under ASPE, or accept a qualified or adverse report.
It is possible that Francois may want to minimize his bookkeeping costs and therefore choose the
method that is the least costly.

Net income of Le Gourmand under equity method/net income
attributable to owners of Le Gourmand on consolidation $27,200
Notes:
* Since the company recently sold one of two identical pieces of land for $2,000 less than its
historical cost, the value of the land still held is questionable and should be written down.
However, there is a fair value increment of $20,000 on the land. Since one piece of land has
been sold, $10,000 should be included in the loss on sale and the other $10,000 should be
written down as it is impaired.
** There is no adjustment for the unrealized profit at the beginning of the year as the parties were
at arm's length at that time.
*** As the office equipment was transferred at year-end, amortization for 20X5 would have been
charged.

Case 6-4: Constructive Inspirations Inc.
Overview
Accounting Experts LLP (AE) has been engaged by Jennifer and Johnnie to provide advice on the
accounting alternatives available under IFRS for valuing CI. Specifically, such choices will be used
to prepare CI’s financial statements, which will be used to value CI in relation to Jennifer's and
Johnnie's divorce settlement. While Jennifer will continue to own CI, assets equal to the value of
CI will be transferred to Johnnie as part of the divorce settlement. The value of CI will be equal to
six times the net income of CI in 20X9 or equal to the ending owners’ equity of CI in 20X9,
whichever amount is higher.
CI appears to have been in existence for quite some time. Forty percent of the shares of CEDS
were also purchased by CI three years ago on Jan. 1 20X7. Therefore, general purpose financial
statements must have been generated in the past aimed at providing financial information about CI
and its investments to various users, including employees and the bank. The bank in any case will
want to look at the separate entity financial statements of CI. The investors in CEDS will mainly
focus on the FS of CEDS, not those of CI. Accounting Experts has not been engaged to provide
advice relating to these general purpose statements. Rather, the advice is specific to the calculation
of net income and owners’ equity to be used to value CI for the purpose of the divorce settlement
between Jennifer and Johnnie.
Therefore, the present report will focus only on the accounting alternatives to be used for preparing
the special purpose financial statements needed for valuing CI. These financial statements will not
be available to other users of CI’s general purpose financial statements. Such users and their
objectives are irrelevant for the purpose of this report and thus will not be considered here.
Constraints
Jennifer and Johnnie have agreed that IFRS for public entities have to be used as long as the end
results are logical. Thus, for the purpose of this report IFRS is a constraint unless the results
therefrom are not logical.
Critical Success Factor
Critical success factors that affect the long-run success of CI are irrelevant here since this report is
not being provided for preparing the general purpose financial statements of CI.
However, it is critical to us that our advice is found acceptable by both Jennifer and Johnnie. Both
of them are long-term clients of AE, and we would like to keep both as our clients in the future as
well. However, this factor is not a CSF that applies to CI, rather it is critical to AE in maintaining
its long-term relationship between it and Jennifer and Johnnie respectively.

Users’ Objectives
Jennifer:
Everything else being equal, Jennifer would like those accounting choices that will reduce both the
net income of CI in 20X9 and the owners’ equity of CI at the end of 20X9. This will reduce the
value of CI and therefore the value of the assets that will be transferred to Johnnie.
Johnnie:
Everything else being equal, Johnnie will have objectives that are exactly the opposite of Jennifer's.
He would prefer those accounting alternatives and choices that will increase both the net income of
CI in 20X9 and the owners’ equity of CI at the end of 20X9. At worst, he would like a fair
evaluation of NI of 20X9 and OE at end of 20X9, such that he obtains a fair value of CI.
Ranking of Users and Objectives
The divorce settlement has been amicable so far. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that both
Jennifer and Johnnie would like to continue to keep it that way. Thus, neither party would want to
be unfair or appear unfair to the other party. However, as pointed out above, everything else being
equal, each would like those accounting alternatives that cater to their objectives.
Both Jennifer and Johnnie are important and long-term clients of AE. Therefore, it appears prudent
for AE not to be seen to be biased towards one over the other while providing their advice. Further,
AE has a fiduciary duty to both of them.
Given the above, it appears reasonable to provide advice that fairly reflects the economic situation
of CI. Towards this end, the most appropriate alternative under IFRS for public entities will be
provided for each relevant accounting issue. Non-IFRS alternatives will be considered only when
all IFRS alternatives are found to be unsuitable.
Accounting Issues and Alternatives
Net Income versus Owners’ Equity
A fair value for CI can be based on either an income or cash-flow approach, wherein, the future
income or cash-flow is discounted to present value terms, or based on the fair value of the existing
assets and liabilities of CI as at the end of 20X9. Jennifer and Johnnie have agreed to value CI
based on six times the NI of 20X9 or the ending owners’ equity of CI. Thus, while the former
measure appears to be roughly approximating the income approach of valuation, the latter, based
on owners’ equity, appears to be approximating the financial position basis of valuation. However,
both figures are historical cost based and do not necessarily reflect the impact of present values or
of future operations. For example, on the SCI, amortization and depreciation values are historical
cost based. Similarly, on the SFP, the assets and liabilities are valued at their historical cost.
Further, the assets and liabilities on the SFP of CI at the end of 20X9 may not accurately represent
the income generating potential of CI in the future. One glaring example is the value of Jennifer to
CI. Some of these problems can be mitigated by using the replacement model for measuring the
assets and liabilities of CI. This is discussed in further detail in the next section.

Cost versus Revaluation Model of Valuing Assets of CI and CEDS
IFRS allows the use of either the cost or the revaluation model to value the assets of an entity.
Potentially a more accurate value of CI can be obtained by using the revaluation model to measure
assets such as property, plant and equipment and intangible assets. While such revaluation can
increase owners’ equity (assuming asset values are increasing), thereby increasing the value of CI,
it will also lead to higher amortization expenses on the SCI. Revaluation gains are not taken to net
income except to the extent of revaluation losses taken to net income in prior periods. On the
whole, however, following the revaluation model will lead to a higher valuation of CI, since such
value is based on the higher of six times NI or owners’ equity.
Since revaluation amounts are not available at this time, the discussion in the latter sections
assumes the use of the cost model.
CEDS
CI owns 40% of the shares of CEDS and one of its employees is on the BOD of CEDS. However,
the other 15 owners of CEDS, who are friends of Jennifer, have, via a written agreement, given CI
the authority to make operating and investing decisions in relation to CEDS. Further, CEDS also
appears to be a supplier of supplies to CI. CI’s employees are also working for CEDS. Finally, CI
did not charge a management fee to CEDS.
All of the above indicate that under IFRS, CI has control over the operating and investment
decisions of CEDS. Therefore, the investment is CEDS has to be accounted for as a business
combination. Consequently, the financial statements of CEDS have to be consolidated with those
of CI using the acquisition method. Under the acquisition method, both CI’s share as well as the
share of the other 15 owners (NCI) has to be accounted at their fair value at the time of acquisition.
However, we do not presently have sufficient information to carry out a full consolidation of
CEDS’ FS with those of CI. In fact, such consolidation may not be required for the purpose of this
report since the issue of importance is the impact of the accounting alternatives on the net income
of CI in 20X9 and the owners’ equity of CI in 20X9. Therefore, the following discussion will
restrict itself to the consolidation-related accounting adjustments required under IFRS for the
various issues relating to CEDS.
Fair Value of CEDS and Fair Value Increments at the Time of Acquisition
The balance of the FVI of $100,000 has been allocated to goodwill. This indicates that there is no
gain on bargain purchase. Consequently, the initial accounting for CEDS will not impact the net
income of CI nor its owners’ equity. The acquisition method allows for the use of either the entity
method or the parent-company extension method. The difference between the two methods affects
valuation of goodwill and valuation of NCI. Neither will affect the NI for 20X9 or owners’ equity
at the end of that year.

Furthermore, the FVI allocated to inventory and patent will also not affect either net income or
owners’ equity at the time of acquisition. However, post-acquisition, both amounts will have the
following impact on net income of 20X9 and owners’ equity:
FVI allocated to inventory

There is a fair value decrement of $50,000 in relation to inventory. Inventories are assumed to be
sold in the very next year after acquisition. From the consolidated perspective the true cost of the
inventory is less by the FVD of $50,000, compared to the cost shown on the separate entity FS of
CEDS.
Therefore, the consolidated COGS would have been reduced by the $50,000 FVD in 20X7. This
would have increased the net income of that year by $50,000. 40% of the $50,000 increase, i.e.,
$20,000 is attributable to CI, while the remaining 60% or $30,000 is attributable to the NCI. Since
consolidation related adjustments do no carryover to later periods, suitable consolidation related
adjustments have to be made in later years to capture the cumulative impact of previous years’
consolidation adjustments. Therefore, in 20X9, focusing just on CI’s portion, an adjustment to
increase beginning owners’ equity of CI by $20,000 will have to be made. This adjustment will
carry over to ending owners’ equity, increasing it by $20,000. Thus, the value of CI for the purpose
of the divorce settlement will go up by $20,000 consequent to this adjustment.
FVI allocated to patent

The FVI allocated to patent is equal to $100,000. The patent had a further useful life of 10 years at
the time of the acquisition of CEDS by CI. Therefore, in its consolidated statements CI will make
consolidation adjustments to amortize the FVI of $100,000 over this 10-year period. Therefore, the
FVI amortization in 20X7 and 20X8 would have been $10,000 per year. A further $10,000
amortization of this FVI will be made in 20X9 as well.
While the $10,000 amortization of FVI in 20X9 will decrease the CI’s consolidated net income by
$10,000, CI’s share is only $4,000. Therefore, this will decrease the ending owners’ equity of CI in
20X9 by that amount. In addition, the cumulative impact of the adjustments relating to the
amortization of the FVI in previous years on CI’s ending retained earnings in 20X9 will be a
negative $8,000. Therefore, in total, the amortization of the FVI relating to the patent over the
three-year 20X7-20X9 period will have a negative impact of $12,000 on ending owners’ equity in
20X9. Therefore, for the purpose of the divorce settlement the cumulative impact of the FVI
amortization over the three-year period will be to decrease the value of CI by $12,000. In contrast,
the impact of the FVI amortization in 20X9 on the value of CI (using net income) for the purpose
of the divorce settlement will be greater, decreasing it by 6 × $4,000 or $24,000.
Impairment of Goodwill
It is assumed that the $100,000 FVI allocated to goodwill represents 100% of the value of
goodwill. Therefore, of the impairment loss of $20,000 relating to goodwill in 20X8, only $8,000
is attributable to CI. Therefore, the related cumulative adjustment in 20X9 will reduce the
beginning and thus the ending retained earnings of 20X9 by $8,000 and as a consequence the value
of CI for the purpose of the divorce settlement by $8,000.

Management Fees
CI did not charge management fees to CEDS since 20X7. IFRS require all intercompany
transactions be eliminated while preparing consolidated statements, since these statements
represent the financial status of all the entities forming part of the consolidated group as one single
economic entity. Therefore, even if CI had originally charged management fees to CEDS, such
management fees would have been eliminated at the consolidated level for 20X9. No elimination is
required for the management fees in earlier years. Therefore, failure of CI to charge management
fees to CEDS does not have any impact on either the 20X9 net income attributable to CI or to the
owners’ equity of CI.
Interest on the 10% $100,000 Interest Bearing Note
CEDS would have paid $5,000 interest in 20X8 and $10,000 interest in 20X9 to CI. While such
interest would have been accounted for as an expense by CEDS, CI would have included such
amounts as income in its statement of comprehensive income for 20X8 and 20X9 respectively.
However, again, at the consolidated level, such intercompany interest payments and receipts made
in 20X9 have to be eliminated. Since both income and expense of $10,000 for 20X9 are
eliminated, the net impact on OE and NI will be zero. There is no need to adjust for the interest
income and expense of 20X8 since the net impact on the consolidation retained earnings of these
amounts is zero.
Sale of Equipment by CEDS to CI
The calculations underlying the various adjustments that need to be made in relation to the sale of
the depreciable asset by CEDS to CI on Jan. 1 20X8 are provided below:
Original cost to CEDS $300,000
Depreciation by CEDS (75,000)
Carrying value at time of sale to CI 225,000
Price at which sold to CI 270,000
Gain on sale on Jan. 1. 20X8 45,000
Remaining useful life on Jan 1. 20X8 3 years
Excess depreciation per year 15,000
Excess depreciation in 20X8 15,000
Excess depreciation in 20X9 15,000
Unrealized gains by beginning of 20X9 30,000
CEDS would have recognized a gain of $45,000 on the sale of the equipment to CI on Jan. 1,
20X8. CI in turn would have recorded the equipment at the price paid by it of $270,000 and started
depreciating it over three years at $90,000 per year. This is $15,000 higher per year than the
$75,000 depreciation that CEDS would have charged on its books if the sale had not occurred.
From a consolidated perspective no sale has actually occurred. Therefore, the adjustment in 20X9
to capture the cumulative impact of the consolidation-related adjustments made in 20X8 would be

to eliminate the remaining unrealized gain of $30,000 ($45,000 – $15,000) at the beginning of
20X9. Specifically, the equipment account would be decreased by $30,000 while reducing
beginning retained earnings by 40% of that amount, i.e. $12,000 and reducing NCI by the
remaining 60% or $18,000. Another adjustment is also required to eliminate the excess
depreciation of $15,000 in 20X9. This adjustment will increase the net income attributable to CI by
$15,000 × 40% or $6,000, while increasing the net income attributable to NCI by the remaining
amount of $9,000.
Thus, the cumulative impact on the ending retained earnings of CI would be to decrease it by
$12,000 – $6,000 or $6,000. Consequently, for the purpose of the divorce settlement the value of
CI will be reduced by $6,000. In contrast, if the net income of 20X9 is used to value CI, the value
of CI will in fact increase by $6,000 × 6 or $36,000. Clearly, in this case, diametrically different
results will ensue depending on which amount is used to value CI, net income of CI in 20X9 or
ending retained earnings of CI in 20X9.
Inter-company Sale of Inventory
Under IFRS, gains on inter-company sales of inventory are deemed to be unrealized as long as the
inventory remains within the consolidated group. Therefore, such unrealized gains are required to
be eliminated while preparing consolidated financial statements.
Unrealized gains exist in both the beginning as well as the ending inventory of CI in 20X9.
Beginning inventories are assumed to have been sold during the year, and therefore are assumed to
have been realized during the year. The following calculations provide the amount of unrealized
gains present in the opening and closing inventories respectively, and CI’s share of such gains:
Beginning Inventory Ending Inventory

Inter-company sale 80,000 90,000
Proportion remaining unsold 0.2 0.3
Inventory remaining unsold 16,000 27,000
Profit proportion 0.4 0.4
Unrealized profit 6,400 10,800
CI’s ownership proportion 0.4 0.4
CI’s share of unrealized profit 2,560 4,320
Impact on 20X9 Ending RE None (4,320)

Impact on 20X9 CI NI share 2,560 (4,320)
Of the unrealized gains present in the opening inventory, $2,560 is attributable to CI. Since this
unrealized gain would have been eliminated in 20X8, to capture the impact of that adjustment the
corresponding cumulative adjustment in 20X9 will reduce opening retained earnings by that
amount. However, to reflect the fact that the gain was realized in 20X9 the COGS of 20X9 will
also be reduced by that amount. The overall impact on ending retained earnings will therefore be
zero. Therefore, while ending owners’ equity remains unaffected by these changes and thus does

not affect the value of CI, the increase in profit in 20X9 will mean that the value of CI based on the
net income amount will increase by 6 × $2,560 or $15,360.
The consolidation-related adjustment relating to the unrealized gain in the ending inventory will
decrease profit by $4,320 and therefore the ending retained earnings. The impact on the value of CI
for the divorce settlement will therefore be (1) if based on net income, a decrease of 6 × $4,320 or
$25,920, or (2) if based on ending owners’ equity, a decrease of $4,320.
No dividends have been declared by CEDS from the time of its acquisition by CI. That means that
the separate entity FS of CI would not have included any portion of the operating results of CEDS
in any of the three years 20X7-20X9. However, the consolidated FS of CI should not only include
the results from the operations of CI but also the operating results of CEDS as well. This difference
will affect both the ending owners’ equity as well as the net income of 20X9.
Since the impact of the other consolidation-related adjustments were discussed previously, we can
now focus solely on the impact of the consolidation-related adjustment relating to CEDS’
operations, without any adjustments. CEDS’ change in retained earnings since its acquisition by CI
until the beginning of 20X9 will be added to that of CI to the extent of CI’s ownership of CEDS.
The remaining 60% will be adjusted against the NCI balance. The impact will either be negative or
positive depending on the nature of the change in retained earnings of CEDS during the period.
The individual items of the statement of comprehensive income of CEDS are also included line-by-
line in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income of CI. The result will be the same as
adding the net income of CEDS to the net income of CI. Thus, the consolidated income will either
increase or decrease depending on whether CEDS had a net loss or net income during 20X9. CI’s
portion will be apportioned to CI, and will suitably increase or decrease ending retained earnings.
Thus, the operations of CEDS will influence the value of CI either through its influence on the net
income of CI in 20X9 or through its impact on the ending retained earnings of CI. We will need to
obtain these details from Jennifer to be able to quantify the impact.
The table below summarizes the impact of the various known adjustments relating to CEDS on the
value of CI calculated based on (1) net income in 20X9 and (2) the ending owners’ equity at the
end of 20X9:
Owners'
Net Income Equity
FVI allocated to inventory 0 20,000
FVI allocated to patent (24,000) (12,000)
Impairment of goodwill 0 (8,000)
Inter-company sale of equipment 36,000 (6,000)
Unrealized gains in opening inventory 15,360 0
Unrealized gains in ending inventory (25,920) (4,320)
Net income of CEDS Unknown Unknown
Sum of known amounts 1,440 (10,320)

It is clear that the adjustments will have a negative impact on the value of CI if ending owners’
equity in 20X9 is used for such valuation. As opposed to this, the impact of using NI is marginally
positive. However, we do not have full details on the net income and owner's equity amounts
related to CEDS. Therefore, we are unable at this time to conclude which of the two figures will
lead to either a lower or higher value for CI.
Fairness of Using IFRS-based Financial Statements to Value CI
IFRS has, over the years, been moving more towards a fair-value basis of accounting and away
from the historical basis of accounting. While monetary assets and liabilities are reported at their
fair values on the SFP, many non-monetary assets like inventories are also reported at fair values.
In addition, IFRS also allows the use of the revaluation model of valuating assets such as property,
plant and equipment and intangible assets. Thus, the impact of the historical basis of accounting,
which does not appropriately reflect fair values, is reduced. Nonetheless, accounting is backward
looking and may not appropriately reflect the future operations of CI. It may be argued that CI
should be valued based on its future potential and not on its past performance.
Further, under IFRS, the results of the operations of CEDS have to be included in the financial
statements of CI either by including CI’s equity in the earnings of CEDS or by consolidation. It is
not clear what Jennifer and Johnnie mean by the fair value of CI. Do they intend for CI’s value to
include the value of CEDS as well? If not, CEDS will form part of the other assets which Johnnie
will get. Excluding CEDS from the value of CI most probably will decrease the amount which
Johnnie will get as part of the divorce settlement.
Finally, the criterion of fairness is a bit nebulous. Should the value of CI also include the value of
Jennifer to it? Under IFRS, the value of Jennifer to CI cannot be recognized as an identifiable
intangible asset. In any case, it is not clear that CI’s value should be based on its future operations.
Maybe the value of CI should be based only on the fair values of the existing assets and liabilities
of CI and that of CEDS attributable to CI.
SOLUTIONS TO PROBLEMS

The various adjustments (rounded to the nearest dollar) are being provided in journal entry format
below:
20X2:
Gain on sale of fixtures $45,000
Fixtures $45,000

Depreciation expense 8,000
The net impact of the above adjustments on net income will be to decrease it by $40,000.
Of this amount, 30%, i.e. $12,000 is attributable to the NCI, while the rest belongs to the
owners of the parent.
20X3:
Retained earnings, opening 28,000
NCI 12,000
Fixtures 48,000

The decrease in the depreciation expense of $8,000 will increase net income by that
amount. Of this amount, $2,400 is attributable to the NCI, while the rest is attributable to
the owners of the parent.
20X4:
NCI 9,600
Fixtures 48,000

Again, the decrease in depreciation expense of $8,000 will increase net income by that
amount. Of this amount, $2,400 is attributable to the NCI, while the rest is attributable to
the owners of the parent.
20X5:
NCI 7,200
Fixtures 48,000
Accumulated depreciation 667

Depreciation expense 667
(assuming 1 month’s depreciation is taken)

Fixtures 48,000
Gain on sale of fixtures 23,333
The overall impact of the above entries on net income will be to increase it by $22,666.
30%, i.e. $6,800 is attributable to the NCI, while the rest is attributable to the owners of the
parent.
P6-2
a. 20X3:
Gain on sale of building $1,740,000
Accumulated depreciation $560,000
Buildings 1,180,000
(Eliminates the gain, reduces the building to its cost to Sub, and restores the accumulated
depreciation.)
The elimination of the gain on sale of building amount of $1,740,000 will decrease net income by
that amount. Therefore, 20% of that amount, or $348,000, should be attributed to the NCI.
NCI (SFP) 348,000
NCI in earnings of Sub (SCI) 348,000
(20% of the unrealized gain of $1,560,000.)

[($1,980,000/6) – (800,000/20)]
The decrease in depreciation expense of $290,000 will increase net income by that amount.
Therefore, 20% or $58,000 should be attributed to the NCI:

NCI (SFP) 58,000
(20% of depreciation adjustment.)
b. 20X5:
Accumulated depreciation (3 × 290,000) 870,000
Retained earnings 0.80[1,740,000 – (2 × 290,000)] 928,000
NCI (SFP) 0.20 × [1,740,000 – (2 × 290,000)] 232,000


Buildings 1,180,000
The decrease in depreciation expense of $290,000 will increase net income by that amount.
Therefore, 20% or $58,000 should be attributed to the NCI.

NCI (SFP) 58,000
(20% of depreciation adjustment.)

a. Sales from Adam to Bob (downstream):
Sales $800,000
Cost of sales $740,000
Inventory (20% × $300,000) 60,000
The entry above is a combination of two entries, the first entry reducing sales and cost of
sales by $800,000 for the inter-company sale, and the second entry increasing cost of sales
and decreasing ending inventory by $60,000, the unrealized gain in the ending inventory
remaining unsold from the intercompany sale.
b. Sales from Xena to Adam (upstream):
Sales 600,000
Cost of sales 460,000
Inventory (70% × $200,000) 140,000
The elimination of the unrealized gain on the intercompany sale of $140,000 above will
reduce net income by that amount. Since the unrealized gain relates to an upstream sale of
inventory, 30% of the reduction in net income or $42,000 needs to be allocated to the NCI.

c. Sale of land from Adam to Bob (downstream):
Land 40,000
Loss on sale of land 40,000
d. Sale of land and building from Xena to Adam:
Gain on sale of capital assets 243,000

Land 80,000
Building 130,000
The elimination of the gain on the sale of capital assets will reduce net income by a similar
amount, i.e. $243,000. Since this is an upstream sale, 30% of the reduction in net income,
i.e. $72,900 should be allocated to NCI.

(depreciation elimination for three months)
The reduction in depreciation expense by $8,150 will increase net income by that amount.
Therefore, the NCI’s share of such a reduction is $2,445.
e. Intercompany balances (assuming both companies have

accrued the interest):
Due to Xena Ltd. 410,000

Receivable from Adam Ltd. 410,000
2. Non-controlling interest
Bob Ltd.: Intercompany sales between Adam and Bob were downstream, therefore there is
no unrealized profit in the earnings of Bob and non-controlling interest is not affected.
Xena Ltd.:
Unrealized profit in inventory (upstream):

70% × ($600,000 - $400,000) = $140,000
NCI interest share at 30% $ 42,000
Unrealized profit from sale of land:

40% ($400,000) - $80,000 = $80,000

NCI interest share at 30% 24,000
Unrealized profit from sale of building:

60% ($400,000) - (70%) ($110,000) = $163,000
NCI interest share at 30% 48,900
Realized profit from depreciation:

1/4 ($163,000) (1/5) = $8,150

If all transactions had been with unrelated parties, then consolidated net income would not have
been adjusted for the realized and unrealized gains relating to the intercompany sale of inventory.
Specifically, the consolidated net income would not have been increased by the sum of $70,000
and $60,000, i.e. $130,000 since this amount would have been treated as having been realized in
the previous year itself. Similarly, the sum of $ (50,000) and $ (80,000), i.e. $ (130,000) would not
have been deducted from consolidated net income, since again, this amount would have been
considered realized in 20X5. Therefore, consolidated net income would have been $958,000, as
shown in part a as “unadjusted consolidated earnings”. In the present problem, the adjusted and
unadjusted consolidated net incomes are the same since the adjustments sum to zero.

Curry owns 40% of the voting shares of Jasmine and five of its nominees are on Jasmine’s board.
This suggests that Curry can exercise significant influence but not control over Jasmine. Curry had
to negotiate to get five of its nominees be nominated on Jasmine’s board. Therefore, the proprietary
theory has to be used when accounting for Curry’s investment in Jasmine under the equity method.

1. The equity method assumes the investor can significantly influence the investee company. As a
result, and to avoid income manipulation, all earnings of the investee (remitted and retained)
accruing to the investor are reported as earned via the investment account. Dividends received are
deducted from the investment account. The fair value or cost methods assume no significant
influence. Income from the investment is recognized only to the extent to which it has been
remitted as dividends. As the name denotes, the investment account is retained at cost under the
cost method. In contrast, under the fair value method, the investment is reported at its fair value on
each reporting date. Reporting must follow the following guidelines.
i. IFRS requires the use of the equity method when there is significant influence, and
the fair value method when there is no significant influence. Accounting standards
for private enterprises allows the cost method as an additional reporting choice for
reporting investments both when significant influence is present as well as when it
is absent. The equity reporting requirement pertains to both significantly-influenced
minority-owned investees and to unconsolidated subsidiaries.
ii. A quantitative guideline only is that ownership of less than 20% suggests the
absence of significant influence while ownership of greater than 20% and less than
51% suggests the presence of significant influence.

machine. Fortunately I had presence of mind enough to keep my
watch going, as well as the captain’s chronometer, for otherwise I
would have had no knowledge of the passage of time. Once or twice
the scarlet women visited the ship, but seemed nervous and wary,
and made no effort to approach or molest me, merely gazed about
as if searching for something—perhaps for me—and then retiring.
Several times, too, I ventured on deck, and peered over the ship’s
side, but saw none of the giantesses, although with the glasses I
could see crowds of the beings about the city in the distance.
“Also, I noticed among them, several individuals who were much
smaller than the rest, and who appeared to be men, although I could
not be sure. I also discovered, and almost lost my life in the
discovery, that the atmosphere of this place is unfit for human beings
to breathe, and is thick with sulphurous fumes. Close to the ground
these fumes are so dense that a person would succumb in a few
moments, but at the height of the Chiriqui’s decks, nearly seventy
feet above the rocky bed on which she rests, the air is breathable,
although it causes one to choke and cough after a few minutes. And
I am sure that the houses of these giant beings have been built on
the summits of the basalt columns in order to avoid the suffocating
fumes of the lower levels. Later, too, I learned that the membrane-
like frills upon these creatures are a sort of gills, or as I might say,
natural gas-masks, which by some means enable the beings to
breathe the sulphur-laden air. But even with these, they avoid the
lower areas where the fumes are the worst, and only visit them when
necessity arises, which accounts for my being left in peace, with
none of the horrible women near the ship, for days at a time. I
discovered the presence of the sulphur gas on the first day when,
attempting to eat, I removed my gas-mask. Suffocating as I found
the fumes, I was compelled to endure them, and gradually I became
slightly accustomed to them, so that now I have little trouble in
breathing during the short time it takes me to eat my meals. At all
other times I must wear the apparatus, and I thank God that this is
so, for I know now that it is the gas-mask which so far has preserved
my life.
“On the tenth day after my arrival I noticed a number of the
giantesses gathering about the huge, spherical airship which still
rested on its cradle near the Chiriqui, but which, I have forgotten to
state, ceased to emit its green or red lights after it had landed. Lying
there it resembled nothing so much as a gigantic can-buoy or a
floating mine, if one can imagine a buoy two hundred yards in
diameter.
“On the day I mentioned, all interests seemed to be centered on
the thing, and cautiously peering from the shelter of the deck-house,
I watched the proceedings. Presently several of the women entered
the sphere through an opening in its middle band; the aperture
closed behind them, and immediately there was a low, humming
sound as of machinery. As the sounds issued from the sphere, the
cables to which were attached the smaller spheres (which glowed
red when carrying the Chiriqui through the air) were drawn in until
the two smaller spheres were resting in recesses at the axes of the
large sphere, and where they appeared merely as hemi-spherical
projections. Then, slowly at first, but with ever increasing speed, the
slender rods about the large sphere began to move back and forth,
or rather in an oscillating manner, until they were vibrating with such
rapidity that they appeared merely rays of light. Slowly, majestically,
the immense globe rose from its cradle, and gathering headway,
leaped upward to an immense height. Then, tilting at an angle, it
passed over the city and headed for an immense pinnacle of rock,
which, fully seven miles from where I stood, reminded me of a
gigantic chimney or funnel.
“Although it was barely visible to the naked eye, I could see it
distinctly through the glasses, and I watched it with the most intense
and concentrated interest. For a few moments it remained, poised a
hundred feet or so above the pinnacle. Then, from the towering,
tapering rock, a terrific jet of steam roared forth, and striking the
great spherical machine above it, hurled it upward and beyond my
vision. Give close heed to these words, whoever may, by God’s
grace, be listening to what I say, for upon them may hinge the fate of
the human race. Only by this means, by being shot upward by this
titanic jet of steam, can the airship leave this subterranean land and
emerge through the crater by which it entered bearing the Chiriqui.
Within this place it can sail at will; once above the crater opening it
can travel anywhere, although it cannot land; but by some unknown
force or magnetic attraction or freak of gravitation the machine
cannot ascend through the crater, although, when over it, it will drop
like a plummet through the opening. And herein—for the sake of
humanity, listen to this and remember my words—lies a means of
destroying the machine, for by surrounding the crater with powerful
guns the sphere can be shelled as it emerges and utterly destroyed.
To attempt to do so as it returns to the crater would be suicidal, for
once in the outer air, it emanates vast quantities of most poisonous
gas, and all living things within a radius of several miles would be
struck down unconscious, as were my companions on the Chiriqui.
Even if gas-masks were worn, it would be most difficult to destroy
the machine as it descended, for it travels with incredible speed in its
descent and, moreover, the terrible creatures who man the thing
would see that enemies lurked near and would find some means of
destroying them, or by the mysterious magnet force they control,
would draw even the heaviest cannon to the machine as an ordinary
magnet draws needles or iron filings. So if the thing is to be
destroyed, it must be done as the machine emerges from the crater.
Would to God that I could tell where the crater is, but beyond feeling
sure it is at the summit of an Andean peak, I have no means of
locating it.
“But I was telling of what occurred on that tenth day when the
spherical airship was projected from my sight by the blast of steam.
As the machine vanished, the women who had watched its
departure, returned to their city, and I swept the landscape with my
glasses, wondering at the bleak, terrible scenery and bizarre colors.
“As I focussed the binoculars upon a level plateau, perhaps a mile

from where the Chiriqui rested, I gasped in surprise. Clearly defined,
lay the remnants of what had once been a steamship! Had I given
the matter thought, I might have known that the Chiriqui was not the
first vessel to have fallen a victim to these awful beings; but the sight
of another ship’s skeleton came to me as a terrific shock. As nearly
as I could judge, the vessel had been dismantled, for only the great
steel frame remained, with the mighty boilers and other portions of
the ship scattered about, and gruesomely like some mammoth
creature lying disemboweled upon the earth.
“I was consumed with a mad desire to visit that pathetic wreck, but
I knew not to what dangers I would be exposed, once I left the
security of my ship. Not a being was in sight, however, and carefully I
studied the land, visually measuring the relative distances between
myself and the wreck, and between the city and the route I must
traverse. Having already observed that the giantesses moved slowly
and cumbrously on foot, I at last decided that even if they attempted
to intercept me I could regain the Chiriqui before I was overtaken, so
I threw caution to the winds and prepared to undertake my
hazardous journey. Slinging the loaded rifle on my back, with the
revolver at my belt, and still further arming myself with a keen-edged
fireaxe, I hunted up the pilot’s ladder, lowered it over the lowest side
of the ship,—which was also the side farthest from the city,—and
clambering down the Chiriqui’s lofty sides, leaped down upon the
ground. To my amazement, I landed in a dense jungle of dry, tough
vegetation which rose to my shoulders. From the deck, looking
directly downwards, I had thought this dull-green growth a short, wiry
grass, and, of course, in its relative proportion to the gigantic women,
it was no higher than ordinary grass to a normal human being. It was
a wonderful example of the theory of relativity, but my mind was not
interested in scientific matters at the time, and I merely gave thanks
that the miniature jungle,—which I saw was composed of giant
lichens—would afford me cover through which I might sneak in
safety, and with little chance of detection.
“Without much difficulty I made my way to the other vessel, and
found her even more dissected than I had supposed. Why the
denizens of the place had torn her to bits I did not then know, but
certain portions of her machinery and fittings had been left intact,
and, as I examined these, I made another and most astounding
discovery. Deeply engraved upon a brass plate was the ship’s name
‘U. S. S. Cyclops!’ For a space I stood staring, scarcely able to
believe my eyes. Here then was the solution to that mystery of the
sea, the disappearance of the collier, as laden with manganese, she
vanished without word or trace when off the Barbados during the
World War. No doubt, I thought, many a mystery of the sea had been
caused by the damnable work of these beings with their infernal
machine. But why, for what reason, did they capture ships? Why did
they carry off the unconscious persons upon the vessels? And why
did they tear the vessels apart? It was all a mystery which, in all its
horrible, gruesome, ghoulish details I was soon to solve.
“There was nothing more to be learned from the remains of the
Cyclops, and in safety I returned to the Chiriqui to find, to my
surprise and terror, that a gang of the monstrous females had
boarded the ship in my absence and were stripping her of
everything. But as they caught sight of me, all threw down whatever
they had and fled precipitately, leaving me once more in undisputed
possession of the ship. I was relieved at this, for it was obvious that I
had no need to fear the creatures. By now, too, I had formulated a
theory to account for this strange dread of a being who was a puny,
miserable thing compared to them. Unquestionably my gas-mask
rendered me a most grotesque and unknown creature in their eyes.
My remaining alive and active while all others upon the ship had
succumbed to the noxious gas had probably caused them to think
that I was a supernatural being. The fact that I could go about and
breathe the sulphur-laden air would cause them to regard me with
even greater wonder and superstition, and, as I found later, the fact
that I was never seen to eat, confirmed their belief that I was some
mysterious being against whom their gases and their deviltries were
of no avail.
“I had not much time to devote to such matters, however. Soon
after regaining the Chiriqui I heard excited cries from the land, and
looking over the ship’s rails, I found an immense crowd had gathered
near the empty cradle of the airship, and that all were gazing
upward. Following their example, I stared into the greenish void and
instantly understood. Descending rapidly towards the plain, came the
great sphere, and, suspended below it, was the hull of another
captive ship. And as I focussed my glasses upon this, I rubbed my
eyes and gaped. The dull gray color, the lines, the raking funnels, the
barbettes and gun muzzles left no room for doubt. Incredible as it
seemed, the captive vessel was a warship! What hope then had my
fellow men upon earth? What chance was there if these giant
creatures could send forth their flaming machine, and by it, capture
the fastest, most powerful war-vessels—all within the space of a few
hours?
“Rapidly the machine and its burden approached, and presently
descended gently dropping the war vessel close to the Chiriqui. My
worst fears were confirmed. The vessel was an American destroyer,
the McCracken, and I knew that scores of my countrymen must lie
unconscious upon her, and in a few moments would be carried off to
some unknown horrible fate. What that fate was I had already
surmised. That first demonstration of the ferocious cannibalism of
the giantesses upon the Chiriqui’s deck had been enough to make
my blood run cold.
“But I had not yet guessed even a fraction of the true horror of it.
Scarcely had the McCracken been dropped upon the earth, when
the women swarmed upon her, and once more I saw the creatures
gathering the inert forms of men and carrying them to the city. And
rapidly, too, they commenced dismantling and tearing the destroyer
into bits. How they had accomplished this with the Cyclops had
puzzled me, but now I witnessed the process close at hand. From
the vicinity of the waterfall, lines or pipes were led to the vessel’s
side; presently there was the roaring sound of steam; dense clouds
of vapor arose from the cataract; the water ceased to flow, and from
the extremities of the lines or tubes twenty-foot jets of blinding flame
shot out. As easily as though made of wax, the steel sides, the
massive beams, the armored barbettes of the warship melted and
were cut by these jets, and as the pieces fell apart, the spherical
airship took a position above the vessel, and by its magnetic power,
lifted tons of the fragments, then sailing off, deposited them in some
spot beyond the city. It was then, as I saw the ship rapidly dissolving
before my eyes, that the inspiration came to me which may make it
possible for me to communicate with the outside world and may, if
God wills, serve to warn my fellow men of the fate which will
overtake them if these terrible creatures are allowed to follow out
their plans. As the jets of flame cut through the McCracken’s
superstructure, and the radio antennae fell in a tangled mass across
the deck, I forgot all else and rushed to the wireless room of the
Chiriqui. Here was my chance. If the ship’s radio transmitter was still
in working order; if the auxiliary battery was still charged, I might
send out messages which, small as the chances were, might reach
the ears of some of the countless thousands of persons who listened
each night at their receiving sets. I trembled with fear that I would
find the transmitter injured or dismantled. I shook with dread that the
battery might be dead. I felt faint with apprehension that the
message, if sent, might never penetrate the sulphur-laden
atmosphere or might never reach the outer world. And I realized,
with a sickening sinking of my heart, that even if heard my
communication might be regarded as a hoax, and no attention would
be given it. But I would do my best. The radio set had not been
molested. Everything was in working order, and I set myself the task
of transmitting my story each night at the same hour, repeating it
over and over again, until the storage batteries are exhausted, for to
get up steam and start the dynamos is beyond my powers. Had I
knowledge of Morse I would send my story by that code, but I have
not, and so—I must cease. For the love of your race and of your
dear ones listen, I beseech you, until I can resume.”
Here the message broke off abruptly, and Frank and I sat staring at
each other, fearing to speak lest we might interrupt or miss the words
which might come, and listening with straining ears at the head-sets.
For an hour we sat there and then, once more the voice spoke.
“The doom that I feared is approaching. I have been here for three
months and this will, I know, be my final message. Oh that I could
only be sure that someone has heard my words, that my fate has not
been in vain but has served to warn my fellow beings. But I must
hurry on. I have learned everything of importance. I have watched,
studied and have even learned to understand much of the language
of these beings. I found that there were men. They are puny beings
compared to the women, though ten-foot giants compared to normal
men, and they are cowed, abject, mere slaves of the females. Only
enough male children are permitted to survive to propagate the race.
All others are killed.
“As they reach manhood only those males of super-intelligence,
strength and virility are permitted to live. The others are destroyed
and—yes, horrible as it sounds, their bodies, like those of the
murdered infants and of the aged, sick or infirm, are devoured. And
as fast as the males attain middle age their lives are forfeited. Long
ago these beings subsisted upon the few wild creatures which
roamed their land; but long ago all these were exhausted and human
flesh became the only meat. There is no vegetable food, and for a
time the sacrificed surplus males, and the aged, provided food for
the race. But gradually the male births decreased, female children
preponderated, and with the increased population resulting, the
males were too few to nourish the others. Then, through what
damnable accident or design I do not know, the creatures went forth
in their airship and discovered the teeming millions of human beings
on earth.
“But the bulk of humanity was and still is safe from them, at least
until new means of attacking mankind are devised, for the globular
airship cannot approach the land. The very power it uses to lift the
greatest steamships and carry them off, draws the machine to the
earth and holds it fast. But above water, which acts as an insulator
apparently, the apparatus can operate at will. And they have a two-
fold purpose in capturing ships. All the available metal in this land
was exhausted in constructing two of the spherical machines. One of
these never returned from its first trip, and only the one remains. To
construct more, these giant women plan to use the metal salvaged
from captured ships, until a vast fleet of the infernal things is ready to
go forth and wipe the seas clean of ships and human beings. And
the bodies of the men and women, struck down by the gas, are to
serve as food for these demons in human form.
“This is the most horrible, blood-curdling thing of all. Rendered
unconscious by the gas, the victims remain in a state of suspended
animation indefinitely, exactly as do grubs, spiders and insects when
stung by certain species of wasps and placed in their nests to
provide food for their young. Stacked in great storage vaults these
breathing, living, but paralyzed human beings are kept, and as
needed, are taken out.
“Already they have a supply on hand sufficient to last them for
over a year. Some of the Cyclops company are still preserved; there
are over three hundred from the Chiriqui, hundreds from other ships,
and the entire crew of the McCracken.
“All these things I learned little by little, and mainly through a
friend, for marvelous as it may seem, I have a friend—if friend he
can be called, a miserable, trembling, terrified male, who, doomed to
death, sought to escape his fate and sought refuge with me,
dreading my presence less than his doom, and hoping that such a
feared and almost reverenced being as myself might protect him. For
two months he has been my companion, but he cannot eat anything
but meat and the supply of meat upon the ship is getting low, and
sooner or later he must succumb. And the women, maddened at his
escape from their clutches, though not yet daring to approach too
closely to me, are getting bolder. Some time, at some unguarded
moment, they will find the poor fellow alone and will fall upon him.
And in his terror, in an effort to buy his life, he will, I know, reveal to
them that I am but an ordinary mortal, a man who eats and drinks
and who survived the gas by mechanical and not supernatural
means. But I will not be taken alive by these fearful female
cannibals. When the time comes, as I know it will, I will blow my
brains out, and though they may devour my body they will not rend
me alive. No more ships have been brought in here since the
McCracken was captured. But this I know is due to the fact that all
the energies of these creatures are being devoted to building
additional air machines. This work goes on in a vast cavern beyond
the city where tremendous forces, furnaces with heat beyond human
conception and machines of which we know nothing, are controlled
by the internal steam, the radiant energy and the magnetic powers of
the earth’s core.
“And now, again let me implore any and all who may hear my
words to give close attention to what I say, for here again is a means
by which humanity may combat and destroy these ghastly, gigantic
cannibals. The spherical air-machines are helpless from above.
Their magnetic or electrical forces extend only downwards. The
gasses they throw out are heavier than air and descend but cannot
ascend, and by means of swift planes, huge bombs and machine
guns, the things can be easily destroyed. And they cannot travel
without throwing off the dazzling green light. Only when motionless
are they dark. And so they will offer easy marks and can be readily
detected. So, I beseech you who may hear, that the governments
are notified and warned and that a fleet or many fleets of airplanes
properly equipped patrol the seas, and at first sight of one of the
green meteors rise above it and utterly destroy it without mercy.
“Wait! I hear a terrified scream.... I am back again at the
transmitter. It was the fellow who has been with me. Poor devil! He
has met his fate, but after all it was the custom of his people, and,
moreover, he would have starved to death in a few days. For that
matter I, too, face starvation. The ship’s stock is running low; all the
food upon the McCracken was destroyed in cutting up that vessel,
and unless another ship is captured I will have no food after two
weeks more. What a strange thought! How terrible an idea! That the
awful fate of hundreds of my fellows would be my salvation! But I will
never live to die from hunger. I can hear the terrible screams of my
late companion on the deck outside. God! It is the end! The fellow
must have told the enraged females. His body has been torn to
shreds. With bloody hands and reeking lips they are rushing towards
the upper deck where I sit. They are here! This is my last word! God
grant that I have been heard! I am about to⸺”
Crashing in our ears came the report of a pistol.
The End
1 The message as it came in, was halting, and interrupted, with many unintelligible
words and repetitions, as if the sender were laboring under an intense strain or was an
amateur. For the sake of clarity and continuity, the communication has been edited and
filled in, but not altered in any detail.
2 The metropolitan papers reported the meteor on the eighteenth and stated it was
observed by those on the Chiriqui on the evening of the seventeenth, but it must be
remembered that the Chiriqui was in the western Pacific and hence had gained a day
in time.

United States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in
the United States and you are located in the United States, we do
not claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing,
performing, displaying or creating derivative works based on the

the official version posted on the official Project Gutenberg™ website
(www.gutenberg.org), you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense
to the user, provide a copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means

but he has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to
the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation. Royalty
payments must be paid within 60 days following each date on
which you prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your

notifies you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that

License. You must require such a user to return or destroy all
copies of the works possessed in a physical medium and
discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of Project
Gutenberg™ works.

any money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in
the electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90

distribution of Project Gutenberg™ works.

electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the manager of
the Project Gutenberg™ trademark. Contact the Foundation as set
forth in Section 3 below.
1.F.
1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend

considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe
and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating
the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may
be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to,
incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a
copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or
damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer
codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.
1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except

for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in paragraph
1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner
of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark, and any other party
distributing a Project Gutenberg™ electronic work under this
agreement, disclaim all liability to you for damages, costs and
expenses, including legal fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO
REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF
WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE
FOUNDATION, THE TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY
DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE LIABLE
TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL,
PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE
NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE.
1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you

discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it,
you can receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by
sending a written explanation to the person you received the work
from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must
return the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity
that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a
replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work
electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to
give you a second opportunity to receive the work electronically in
lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may
demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the
problem.
1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth in
paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you ‘AS-IS’, WITH NO
OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied

warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted
by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any
provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the
Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™
electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any
volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution

costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or
indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur:
(a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg™ work, (b)
alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project
Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
Section 2. Information about the Mission of

Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.
Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s

remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
