Example 1: Exercise of dominant influence

Company A owns 60% of the voting rights of Company B. However Company A allows the other investor who owns the remaining 40% to run Company B with little or no input from Company A. In this case although Company A is not getting involved in the financial and operating policies this is irrelevant when assessing control, as the key point is that they have the ability if Company A wanted to prevent the other investor from making decisions.


Example 2: Potential voting rights

Company A owns 40% of the share capital and voting rights of Company B. It also hold 100% preference shares in Company B which provide a right to a dividend of 5% per annum. These preference shares can be converted at the option of Company A into ordinary shares after 3 years time which would result in the Company obtaining more than 50% of the voting rights (assume 70%).

With regard to the convertible rights here, these cannot be considered by Company A in the control test until after 3 years. So for the first three years assuming Company A does not have the ability to control the composition of the board, Company A would not control Company B and therefore it is not a subsidiary.

However after year 3, even if Company A does not exercise its right to convert at that time, in assessing whether control exists, these exercisable rights should be taken into account and therefore Company B would be a subsidiary of Company A from that date. Note if the option is not exercised after the three years in the consolidated financial statements 60% of the net assets would be allocated to non-controlling interests as that is what the NCI owns at that point in time as the options have not been exercised.


Example 3: Ability to control composition of the board

Company A owns 40% of Company B with the remaining 60% held by another party. However, Company A also holds one golden share which gives Company A the right to control the composition of the board of directors.

In this situation as the board of directors dictate the financial and operating policies of the company since Company A has the ability to appoint or force directors to resign this gives Company A control and therefore Company B is a subsidiary of Company A. In the consolidated financial statements 60% of the net assets would be allocated to non-controlling interests.


Example 4: Agreements with other shareholders

Company A owns 40% of Company B. Company A has also entered into an agreement with other shareholders who own 20% of the shares whereby they agree that they will always vote in line with Company A.

As a result of this agreement Company A effectively has 60% voting rights and therefore has control of Company B. In the consolidated financial statements 60% of the net assets would be allocated to non-controlling interests.


Example 5: Process of consolidation

Section 9 provides minimal guidance on the process of consolidation however the best method for groups to consolidate to:

  1. obtain the individual financial statements of each subsidiary and aggregate these in a spreadsheet etc. and then add together the profit and loss, balance sheet and cash flow figures on a line by line basis.
  2. then adjust individual figures in the individual subsidiary financial statements to uniform accounting policies.
  3. then incorporate goodwill into the consolidation (eliminate the investments and the related share capital of the subsidiaries) and post the relevant journals for depreciation on fair value adjustments on acquisition including to fixed assets and amortisation of goodwill etc. in the consolidated financial statements etc. The journals required to recognise goodwill and derecognise the investment in the subsidiary in the parent company are:

 

CU

CU

Dr Goodwill

XXX

 

Cr Investment in Subsidiary in the Parent Company Financials

 

XXX

Dr Ordinary Share Capital/Share Premium

XXX

 

Dr Profit and Loss Reserves (i.e. profit and loss reserves in existence at date of acquisition)

XXX

 

Cr Non-Controlling Interest (i.e. fair value of net assets of subsidiary at the date of acquisition * % owned at date of acquisition)

 

XXX

The above journals assume there were positive reserves on acquisition.

4. then eliminate intra-group transactions e.g. inter group sales and purchases, unrealised profits included in inventory and property, plant and equipment etc.


Example 6: Eliminating intra group transactions 100% owned – not in inventory at year end

Company A owns a 100% subsidiary, Subsidiary B. During the year Company A sold CU100,000 of goods to Subsidiary B. The cost of the sale for Company A was CU50,000. Subsidiary B has sold these on by the year end. Detailed below are the accounting entries required on consolidation:

 

CU

CU

Dr Sales

100,000

 

Cr Cost of Sales

 

100,000

Being journal to derecognise intercompany sales as consolidated financial statements should only show external sales and purchases

There is no deferred tax impact here as there is no impact on the consolidated profit.

If Subsidiary B sold these goods the journal would be the same.


Example 7: Eliminating intra group transactions 100% owned – in inventory at year end

Company A owns a 100% subsidiary, Subsidiary B. During the year Company A sold CU100,000 of goods to Subsidiary B. The cost of the sale for Company A was CU50,000.

At the year-end Subsidiary B still had CU30,000 of this in inventory. Detailed below are the accounting entries required on consolidation:

Example 8: Eliminating intra group transactions not 100% owned – not in inventory at year end

Company A owns a 65% subsidiary, Subsidiary B. During the year Company A sold CU100,000 of goods to Subsidiary B. The cost of the sale for Company A was CU50,000.

At the year-end Subsidiary B had sold this on to a third party. Detailed below are the accounting entries required on consolidation:

 

CU

CU

Example 9: Eliminating intra group transactions not 100% owned – some in inventory at year end

Company A owns a 65% subsidiary, Subsidiary B. During the year Company A sold CU100,000 of goods to Subsidiary B. The cost of the sale for Company A was CU50,000

At the year-end Subsidiary B still had CU30,000 of this in inventory. Detailed below are the accounting entries required on consolidation.

Example 10: Year-end intra-group balances

Company A was owed CU100,000 from Subsidiary B at the year end. The journals required in the consolidated financial statements to eliminate this are:

 

CU

CU

Dr Amounts Due to Group Company A in Subsidiary B’s Books

100,000

 

Cr Amounts Due from Group Subsidiary B in Company A’s Books

 

100,000


Example 11: Intra-group balances – sale of fixed assets within a group

At the start of the year Company A sold a piece of equipment to Subsidiary B for CU100,000 when its net book value was CU60,000 thereby recognising a profit on disposal in Company A’s financial statements of CU40,000. The remaining life at that date was 10 years. Assume the depreciation in that year in Subsidiary B’s books on the fixed asset was CU10,000 (CU100,000/10yrs) and the NBV was CU90,000.

The consolidated journals at the year end to eliminate the intra-group profit recognised are:

 

CU

CU

Dr Profit on Disposal

40,000

 

Cr PPE

(CU90,000 less NBV that it would have been carried at if there  had been no intra-group sale CU60,000/10yrs*9yrs= CU54,000)

 

36,000

Cr Depreciation

(CU10,000 charged less CU6,000 (CU60,000/10 yrs) which would have been charged if no inter co sale arose)

 

4,000

Being journal to derecognise the profit on disposal and additional depreciation charged

Note the same journal would be posted if Subsidiary B sold it to Company B. In future years the additional depreciation charged of CU4,000 would have to be eliminated i.e. credit depreciation, debit PPE) assuming the above journals are posted to profit and loss reserves year on year.

If a loss was made on disposal the opposite journals would be required. In addition as a loss was made this may indicate an indicator of impairment, so an impairment review may be necessary.


Example 13: Uniform accounting policies

Group A has an accounting policy of expensing development costs however Subsidiary B has a policy of capitalising development costs that meet the capitalisation requirements. Therefore in the consolidated financial statements the amount of development expenditure capitalised in Subsidiary B in the year has to be derecognised and posted to the profit and loss and any depreciation recognised has to be reversed.


Example 14: Business combination achieved in stages

Company A acquired 5% of Company B for CU50,000 at the start of year 1. At the end of year 2 Company A acquired a further 30% for CU100,000 giving significant influence. At the end of year 3 a further 50% was acquired for CU110,000. At the time of the 50% acquisition the fair value of the net assets was CU200,000 which equaled the net asset value. The carrying amount of the associate holding on the consolidated balance sheet at the end of year 3 was CU170,000 being the net assets of Company B at that time (difference between CU150,000 cost and the CU170,000 is the profit share for the 3 years).

In this example we have ignored any profit earned since acquisition as an associate or amortisation on deemed goodwill when significant influence was acquired.

Goodwill is Calculated in Accordance 19.11A as follows:

Cost of Acquisition of first 5% of Company B

CU50,000

Cost of Acquisition of second 30% of Company B

CU100,000

Cost of Acquisition of third 50% of Company B

CU110,000

Total Cost of Investment on Acquiring Control

CU260,000

Total portion of the fair value of Company B

acquired on obtaining control at the end of year 3 (CU200,000*(50%+30%+5%)

(CU170,000)

Total goodwill to be recognised

CU90,000

The journal required on acquisition of control at the end of year 3 is:

*this difference is the difference between the previous cash paid prior to obtaining control of CU150,000 and the share of the net assets at the date control is obtained of CU170,000. As it is not a profit or loss it is posted to OCI.


Example 15: Acquiring a further controlling interest

Parent A previously owned 55% of Company B which was consolidated in the financial statements. At the time of acquisition of the 55% its fair value of net assets was CU500,000 which was equal to book value. The purchase cost was CU300,000. The goodwill recognised was CU25,000 (CU500,000*55%=CU275,000-CU300,000). During the year the company acquired a further 25% from the non-controlling interest for CU220,000. The fair value of the net assets of Company B at the date of acquisition of the additional 25% was CU800,000 (the NBV of the net assets was CU700,000). The carrying amount of the 45% non-controlling interest in the consolidated financial statements was CU250,000 at the date of purchase of the 25% interest.

Example 21: Acquisition not resulting in a change of control after date of transition

Prior to 1 January 2014, Parent A owned 55% of Company B which was consolidated in the financial statements. On 2 January 2014 the parent acquired the remaining 45% from the non-controlling party for CU1,300,000. The date of transition to FRS 102 is 1 January 2014. In the 2014 financial statements under old GAAP the parent calculated the goodwill acquired as a result of this transaction and reflected the additional fair value of assets and liabilities acquired at that date. Under old GAAP as a result of this transaction goodwill of CU200,000 was recognised and PPE uplift of CU100,000 was booked. The useful life of the PPE and goodwill is 10 years, hence the NBV of this goodwill and PPE was CU180,000 and CU90,000 at 31 December 2014. The NBV of this goodwill and PPE was CU160,000 and CU80,000 at 31 December 2015.

Example 22: Disposal resulting in no change in control in the subsidiary after date of transition

Parent A previously owned 100% of Company B which was consolidated in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014. During the year the company disposed of 25% to a third party for CU300,000. The original cost of the investment in the individual entity accounts was CU1,300,000. The net assets of the subsidiary at the date of disposal was CU800,000 plus goodwill of CU50,000 in the consolidated accounts. Assume there were no fair value adjustments as the fair value of the net assets at the original date of acquisition were equal to the entity’s net assets.

Example 23 – Extract from the Accounting policy notes in the consolidated financial statements (excluding negative goodwill)

Basis of consolidation

The Group financial statements reflect the consolidation of the results, assets and liabilities of the parent undertaking, the Company and all of its subsidiaries, together with the Group’s share of profits/losses of associates and joint ventures.  Where a subsidiary, associate or joint venture is acquired or disposed of during the financial year, the Group financial statements include the attributable results from, or to, the effective date when control passes, or, in the case of associates, when significant influence is lost.

Subsidiary undertakings

Subsidiaries are all entities (including special purpose entities) over which the Group has the power to govern the financial and operating policies generally accompanying a shareholding of more than one half of the voting rights. The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible are considered when assessing whether the Group controls another entity. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. They are de-consolidated from the date that control ceases.

The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by the Group. The consideration transferred for the acquisition of a subsidiary is the fair values of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred and the equity interests issued by the Group. The consideration transferred includes the fair value of any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. Acquisition related costs are capitalised with the cost of the investment. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. On an acquisition by acquisition basis, the Group recognises any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets.

The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the group’s share of identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill. If this is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised as negative goodwill on the balance sheet and amortised through the profit and loss account in the period in which the non-monetary assets are recovered. 

Associates and joint ventures

Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence over, but not control of, the financial and operating policies.  Joint ventures are those entities over which the Group has joint control, established by contractual agreement and requiring unanimous consent for strategic, financial and operating decisions. Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.

Under the equity method of accounting, the Group’s share of the post-acquisition profits or losses of its associates and joint ventures is recognised in the income statement.  The income statement reflects, in profit before tax, the Group’s share of profit after tax of its associates and joint ventures in accordance with Section 14 of FRS102, ‘Investments in Associates’ and Section 15 of FRS 102, ‘Interests in Joint Ventures’. The Group’s interest in their net assets is included as investments in associates and joint ventures in the Group Statement of Financial Position at an amount representing the Group’s share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets at acquisition plus the Group’s share of post acquisition retained income and expenses.  The Group’s investment in associates and joint ventures includes goodwill on acquisition.  The amounts included in the financial statements in respect of the post acquisition income and expenses of associates and joint ventures are taken from their latest financial statements prepared up to their respective year ends together with management accounts for the intervening periods to the Group’s year end.  The fair value of any investment retained in a former subsidiary is regarded as a cost on initial recognition of an investment in an associate or joint venture. Where necessary, the accounting policies of associates and joint ventures have been changed to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

Transactions eliminated on consolidation

Intra-group balances and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intra-group transactions, are eliminated in preparing the Group financial statements.  Unrealised gains and income and expenses arising from transactions with associates and joint ventures are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the entity.  Unrealised losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealised gains, but only to the extent that they do not provide evidence of impairment.

Business combinations and goodwill

All business combinations are accounted for by applying the purchase method.  Goodwill represents amounts arising on acquisition of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures.  In respect of acquisitions that have occurred since XXXXX (INSERT DATE OF TRANSITION WHERE SECTION 35.10(A) EXEMPTION IS CLAIMED), goodwill represents the difference between the cost of the acquisition and the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. In respect of acquisitions prior to this date, goodwill is included on the basis of its deemed cost, i.e. original cost less accumulated amortisation from the date of acquisition up to XXXXX, which represents the amount recorded under UK and Irish GAAP. Goodwill is now stated at cost or deemed cost less any accumulated amortisation and impairment losses.  In respect of associates and joint ventures, the carrying amount of goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment.

Goodwill

Positive goodwill acquired on each business combination is capitalised, classified as an asset on the balance sheet and amortised on a straight line basis over its useful life of 10 years. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the date of acquisition, allocated to each cash generating unit that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. If an investment is disposed of any unamortised goodwill is subsumed within goodwill in the profit and loss on sale on discontinuance. Useful life is determined by reference to the period over which the values of the underlying businesses are expected to exceed the values of their identifiable net assets.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Negative goodwill represents the fair value of net assets on acquisition in excess of the fair value of consideration.  Negative goodwill is capitalised and amortised through the profit and loss account in the period in which the non-monetary assets are recovered.  In the case of fixed assets acquired, this is the period over which they are depreciated and in the case of stocks it is the period over which they are sold or otherwise realised.

Impairment

The carrying amounts of the Group’s/Company’s assets, other than inventories (which are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value), deferred tax assets (which are recognised based on recoverability), investment properties (which are carried at fair value), and those financial instruments, which are carried at fair value, are reviewed to determine whether there is an indication of impairment when an event or transaction indicates that there may be.  If any such indication exists, an impairment test is carried out and the asset is written down to its recoverable amount.

The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell and value in use.  Value in use is defined as the present value of the future pre-tax and interest cash flows obtainable as a result of the asset’s continued use.  The pre-tax and interest cash flows are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that represents the current market risk free rate and the risks inherent in the asset.  For the purposes of assessing impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest levels for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash-generating units). 

An impairment loss is recognised whenever the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount. An impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account, unless the asset has been revalued when the amount is recognised in other comprehensive income to the extent of any previously recognised revaluation.  Thereafter any excess is recognised in profit or loss.

Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit and then, to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a pro rata basis. 

An impairment loss, other than in the case of goodwill, is reversed if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount.  If an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset (or asset’s cash generating unit) is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent that the revised carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognised in prior periods.  A reversal of an impairment loss is recognised in the profit and loss account.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination are initially recognised at fair value being their deemed cost as at the date of acquisition.  These generally include brand and customer related intangible assets.  Computer software that is not an integral part of an item of computer hardware is also classified as an intangible asset. Where intangible assets are separately acquired, they are capitalised at cost.  Cost comprises purchase price and other directly attributable costs. 

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the period of their expected useful lives in equal annual instalments, as follows;

Brands 5 to 10 years  
Customer related 5 to 20 years
Supplier agreements  4 to 10 years
Computer related 3 to 7 years

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses incurred.

Contingent acquisition consideration

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date.  Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognised in accordance with Section 21. Any adjustments to the estimated contingent consideration are accounted for as an adjustment to goodwill as a current period adjustment as it reflects a change in estimate and the adjusted goodwill is amortised from that date.  Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. To the extent that contingent acquisition consideration is payable after more than one year from the date of acquisition, it is discounted at an appropriate loan interest rate and, accordingly, carried at net present value on the Balance Sheet.  An appropriate interest charge, at a constant rate on the carrying amount adjusted to reflect market conditions, is reflected in the Profit and Loss over the earn-out period, increasing the carrying amount so that the obligation will reflect its settlement at the time of maturity.


Example 24 – Extract from notes to the financial statements – Business combination and financial asset note in the consolidated financial statements

Business combinations

On the XX December 20X4 the company acquired 70% of the voting rights of XYZ Limited for a total consideration of CU1,000,000. XYZ manufactures agricultural equipment. The useful life of the goodwill acquired is 10 years which is consistent with industry norms and the business acquired.

NOTE:  the below is to be included where the parent company is exempt from consolidation due to its immediate parent company (which is in the eea) preparing consolidated financial statements

Consolidated accounts

The company has not prepared consolidated accounts for the period as, being a wholly owned subsidiary of the ultimate parent company, XXXXXX Limited, it is exempted from doing so under Section 9 of FRS 102 which is accommodated under Section 400 of the Companies Act 2006.

NOTE:  the below is to be included where the parent company is exempt from consolidation due to its ultimate parent company (which is in or outside the eea) preparing consolidated financial statements

Consolidated accounts

The company has not prepared consolidated accounts for the period as, being a wholly owned subsidiary of the ultimate parent company, XXXXXX Limited, it is exempted from doing so under Section 9 of FRS 102 which is accommodated under Section 401 of the Companies Act 2006.

NOTE:  the below is to be included where the parent company is exempt from consolidation due to the group being considered a small company under company law

Consolidation

The company and its subsidiaries combined meet the size exemption criteria for a group and the company is therefore exempt from the requirement to prepare consolidated financial statements by virtue of Section 479 of the Companies Act 2006. Consequently, these financial statements deal with the results of the company as a single entity.

Financial assets

Financial assets in subsidiaries and other financial fixed assets are stated at cost less provision for any diminution in value.

AND/OR

The company has adopted a policy of measuring investments in financial assets which can be reliably measured at their fair value, with changes in the fair value recognised in the profit and loss.

AND/OR

Financial assets which can be reliably measured are measured at their fair value, with changes in the fair value recognised in other comprehensive income and the revaluation reserve.

Dividend income

Dividend income from subsidiaries is recognised when the Company’s right to receive payment has been established.

Goodwill

Positive goodwill acquired on each business combination is capitalised, classified as an asset on the balance sheet and amortised on a straight line basis over its useful life of 10 years. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the date of acquisition, allocated to each cash generating unit that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination. If an investment is disposed of any unamortised goodwill is subsumed within goodwill in the profit and loss on sale on discontinuance. Useful life is determined by reference to the period over which the values of the underlying businesses are expected to exceed the values of their identifiable net assets.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.

Negative goodwill represents the fair value of net assets on acquisition in excess of the fair value of consideration.  Negative goodwill is capitalised and amortised through the profit and loss account in the period in which the non-monetary assets are recovered.  In the case of fixed assets acquired, this is the period over which they are depreciated and in the case of stocks it is the period over which they are sold or otherwise realised.

i) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired as part of a business combination are initially recognised at fair value being their deemed cost as at the date of acquisition.  These generally include brand and customer related intangible assets.  Computer software that is not an integral part of an item of computer hardware is also classified as an intangible asset. Where intangible assets are separately acquired, they are capitalised at cost.  Cost comprises purchase price and other directly attributable costs. 

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortised over the period of their expected useful lives in equal annual instalments, as follows;

Brands 5 to 10 years  
Customer related 5 to 20 years
Supplier agreements 4 to 10 years
Computer related 3 to 7 years

Subsequent to initial recognition, intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses incurred.

(vi)       Contingent acquisition consideration

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date.  Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognised in accordance with Section 21. Any adjustments to the estimated contingent consideration are accounted for as an adjustment to goodwill as a current period adjustment as it reflects a change in estimate and the adjusted goodwill is amortised from that date.  Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not remeasured and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. To the extent that contingent acquisition consideration is payable after more than one year from the date of acquisition, it is discounted at an appropriate loan interest rate and, accordingly, carried at net present value on the Balance Sheet.  An appropriate interest charge, at a constant rate on the carrying amount adjusted to reflect market conditions, is reflected in the Profit and Loss over the earnout period, increasing the carrying amount so that the obligation will reflect its settlement at the time of maturity.

The intangible asset represents the purchased goodwill arising in respect of an asset purchase agreement with XXXXXXXX Limited.  This amount represents the minimum amount which the directors consider is reasonably expected to be paid, and includes both the initial consideration paid and a deferred consideration element which is payable upon the achievement of certain minimum targets (see note X).

a) Investment in Subsidiary undertakings are stated at cost less impairment. Other investments are held at cost less impairment as they cannot be measured reliably under the rules in section 1 of FRS102.

Investments in joint ventures are measured at fair value based on valuation models which make the most of external market data such that the fair value represents the estimated value that could be obtained in an arm’s length transaction under normal business conditions. The discounted cash flows use a discount rate of 10%. The valuation used a multiple of earnings which is consistent with industry norms.

(i) Negative goodwill arose on the change in controlling interest in XYZ Limited.  On XX January XXXX XYZ Limited entered into an agreement to buy back and cancel 1,000 ordinary shares from the former shareholder for CU2,000,000.  As a result XYZ Limited’s percentage shareholding increased from 20% to 60% making XYZ Limited a subsidiary of Parent Limited from that date. Negative goodwill has been allocated toward the cost of inventory and is being released over the period in which the inventory is utilised.
