ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
After studying this learning unit, you should be able to:

accordance with IFRS, if the wholly owned subsidiary was
acquired a few years ago
• identify intragroup items and common items
• do the pro forma consolidation journal entries
• prepare and explain the analysis of equity

4.1 INTRODUCTION
In learning unit 2, we discussed the consolidation of a wholly owned subsidiary at the
date of acquisition. In this learning unit, we deal with preparing consolidated annual
financial statements at any date after the acquisition of an interest in a subsidiary. We
always eliminate the owner's equity (share capital and other components) of a subsidiary
that exists at the acquisition of the subsidiary against the investment in the subsidiary. It
does not form part of the owner's equity of the group. The parent originally paid for it.
Refer to examples 3 to 5 in learning unit 2 if you need to make sure that you understand
the above statement.

Therefore, all the profits the subsidiary makes after the date of acquisition become the
profits of the group and should be included as such in the consolidated statements. All
components of equity of a subsidiary which was formed after the date of acquisition form
part of the total equity of the group.

4.2 TREATMENT OF GOODWILL ARISING ON ACQUISITION


By now, you should be familiar with the term "goodwill". A parent may pay more or less
than the net asset value of the shares acquired with the purchase of the interest in the
subsidiary. This can be attributed to the following:

• specific items which have a market value that is higher or lower than the carrying
value (e.g. property or plant)
• the value of the undertaking as a whole

The goodwill that a parent pays for when acquiring a subsidiary represents the parent's
anticipation of future economic benefits. We reflect goodwill at cost price for the purposes
of this course. We will deal with future adjustments in value at third-year level.

We will also deal further with the alternative option and methods in IFRS 3 regarding the
calculation of goodwill at third-year level.

4.3 CONSOLIDATION OF A WHOLLY OWNED SUBSIDIARY AFTER


THE DATE OF ACQUISITION
Where consolidation takes place at a date after the acquisition of the interest in the
subsidiary, we must consolidate both the statements of financial position and the
statements of profit and loss and other comprehensive income of the parent and the
subsidiary.

2
We will still follow the same consolidation procedures:

• Eliminate common items


• Eliminate intragroup items
• Consolidate remaining items

We now turn our attention to a new aspect, namely that we will have to deal with various
periods when analysing the owner's equity of the subsidiary. The following serves as an
example of this:

Suppose A Ltd acquired its 100% interest in B Ltd on 1 January 20.1, and you are required
to draft the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 20.8. You
will have to divide the analysis of owner's equity into three parts.

Since acquisition to beginning of current year
2 January 20.1 to 31 December 20.7 XX
Current year

As in the previous learning units, we will deal with the three situations that may arise when
a parent acquire shares in a subsidiary.

subsidiary, B Ltd, as at 31 December 20.6:

Suppose you have to draft the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the
consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 20.6.

SOLUTION 1

COMMENT
Note that we eliminate all intragroup transactions. Therefore, we eliminate the
dividends the subsidiary paid to the parent. Consequently, the group's profit before tax
will not include the dividends received from the subsidiary. The dividends in the
statement of changes in equity under retained income will consist of dividends paid by
the parent only.

EXAMPLE 3

Acquisition of a wholly owned subsidiary at a discount

The acquisition of a wholly owned subsidiary at a discount does not form part of this course
and will be dealt with in detail at third-year level.

Dividends received – P Ltd 30 000
Dividends paid – S Ltd 30 000
Elimination of intragroup dividends

COMMENT
In this example, we divide the analysis of owner's equity into three parts (periods)
because we require the figure for retained earnings for the subsidiary at the beginning
of the year in order to draft the statement of changes in equity.

Note that we eliminated the intragroup item, namely dividends of R30 000 paid by the
subsidiary.

Note also that if the parent or a subsidiary has a bank overdraft, we may not deduct it
from the favourable bank balance of another company in the group. We must show both
balances separately. The deduction is permitted only if the conditions of IAS 1 and IAS
32 mentioned in learning unit 3 are met.

COMMENT
Since the question only asked for a consolidated statement of financial position, the
analysis of owner's equity is different from that in question 1. Because we did not have
to do the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income nor
the consolidated statement of changes in equity, we did not require the figure for
retained earnings at the beginning of the year. Therefore, we can combine the "since
acquisition" sections in the analysis and include all movements in retained earnings for
the period since acquisition to the end of the current year.

Because a complete consolidated statement of changes in equity is no longer available,


we should calculate retained earnings separately, as in calculation 2 (100% holding).

COMMENT
In this question, you are merely expected to draft a consolidated statement of profit or
loss and other comprehensive income and a consolidated statement of changes in
equity. However, you will notice that the calculations for questions 1 and 3 are very
similar.

SELF-ASSESSMENT
After studying this learning unit, are you able to:
• draft the consolidated annual financial statements of a group, in
accordance with IFRS, if the wholly owned subsidiary was acquired
a few years ago?
• identify intragroup items and common items?
• do the pro forma consolidation journal entries?
• prepare and explain the analysis of equity?
