Step A-2 Procedure Eliminate 100 percent of all the acquisition date balances in the subsidiary’s shareholders’ equity (includes both contributed capital and retained earnings). Step A-3 Procedure Allocate any debit or credit Differential that is present at acquisition to the investor’s share of fair value changes on identifiable assets, fair value changes on identifiable liabilities, and positive or negative goodwill. Step A-4 Procedure Allocate to a Non-Controlling Interest account in the consolidated Balance Sheet, the non-controlling interest’s share of the at acquisition book value of the common shareholders’ equity of the subsidiary (includes both contributed capital and retained earnings). © 2008 Clarence Byrd Inc. 54 Summary Of Consolidation Procedures Step B-1 Procedure Eliminate 100 percent of all intercompany assets and liabilities. Step B-2 Procedure Give recognition to the post-acquisition realization of acquisition date fair value changes on assets and liabilities that have been used up or sold during the post-acquisition period. To the extent that this realization occurred in prior periods, recognition will require an adjustment of the opening retained earnings of the subsidiary. Alternatively, if the realization occurred in the current period, the adjustment will be to the subsidiary’s current period expenses, revenues, gains, or losses. Step B-3 Procedure Recognize current and cumulative goodwill impairment losses that have been measured since the acquisition of the subsidiary and the initial recognition of the goodwill balance. To the extent that the impairment took place during the current period, the measured amount will be charged to Goodwill Impairment Loss. To the extent that it occurred in prior periods, it will be charged to retained earnings. © 2008 Clarence Byrd Inc. 55 Summary Of Consolidation Procedures Step B-4 Procedure Eliminate 100 percent of all intercompany expenses and revenues. Step B-5 Procedure Eliminate 100 percent of subsidiary dividends declared. The parent’s share of this amount will be deducted from the revenues of the parent company and the non-controlling interest’s share of this amount will be deducted from the Non-Controlling Interest in the Balance Sheet. © 2008 Clarence Byrd Inc. 56 Summary Of Consolidation Procedures Step C-1 Procedure Determine the appropriate allocation of the subsidiary’s adjusted retained earnings since acquisition. The Non-Controlling Interest’s share will be based on book value. After the Non-Controlling Interest’s share is subtracted, the resulting balance will be adjusted for the fair value write-offs called for in Step B(2), as well as any goodwill impairment as described in Step B(3). The balance remaining after these adjustments will be allocated to consolidated Retained Earnings. Step C-2 Procedure Eliminate the subsidiary’s adjusted Retained Earnings since acquisition. This amount will be allocated to the Non-Controlling Interest in the consolidated Balance Sheet and to consolidated Retained Earnings as determined in Step C-1. © 2008 Clarence Byrd Inc. 57 Summary Of Definitional Calculations Identifiable Assets And Liabilities The amount to be included in the consolidated Balance Sheet for any identifiable asset or liability is calculated as follows: • 100 percent of the carrying value of the identifiable asset (liability) on the books of the parent company at the Balance Sheet date; plus • 100 percent of the carrying value of the identifiable asset (liability) on the books of the subsidiary company at the Balance Sheet date; plus (minus) • the parent company’s share of the fair value increase (decrease) on the asset (liability) (i.e., the parent company’s share of the difference between the fair value of the subsidiary’s asset or liability at time of acquisition and the carrying value of that asset or liability at the time of acquisition); minus (plus) • amortization of the parent company’s share of the fair value increase (decrease) on the asset (liability) for the period since acquisition to the current Balance Sheet date. © 2008 Clarence Byrd Inc. 58 Summary Of Definitional Calculations Goodwill The Goodwill to be recorded in the consolidated Balance Sheet is equal to: • the excess of the cost of the investment over the parent company’s share of the fair values of the subsidiary’s net assets at the time of acquisition; minus • the amount of any goodwill impairment that has been recognized in the period since the acquisition to the current Balance Sheet date. © 2008 Clarence Byrd Inc. 59 Summary Of Definitional Calculations Non-Controlling Interest - Balance Sheet The NonControlling Interest to be recorded in the consolidated Balance Sheet is an amount equal to the non-controlling interest’s ownership percentage of the book value of the subsidiary’s common stock equity at the Balance Sheet date. © 2008 Clarence Byrd Inc. 60 Summary Of Definitional Calculations Contributed Capital The Contributed Capital to be recorded in the consolidated Balance Sheet is equal to the contributed capital from the single entity Balance Sheet of the parent company. © 2008 Clarence Byrd Inc. 61 Summary Of Definitional Calculations Retained Earnings The Retained Earnings amount to be included in the consolidated Balance Sheet is calculated as follows: • 100 percent of the Retained Earnings of the parent company; plus (minus) • the parent company’s share of the subsidiary’s Retained Earnings (Deficit) since acquisition; plus (minus) • 100 percent of the adjustments to consolidated expenses, revenues, gains, and losses for realized fair value changes during the period since acquisition to the current Balance Sheet date; minus • 100 percent of any goodwill impairment that has been recognized since the acquisition to the current Balance Sheet date. © 2008 Clarence Byrd Inc. 62 Summary Of Definitional Calculations Revenue The amount of any revenue to be included in the consolidated Income Statement is calculated as follows: • 100 percent of the amount reported in the parent company’s financial statements; plus • 100 percent of the amount reported in the subsidiary’s financial statements; minus • 100 percent of any intercompany amounts included in the parent or subsidiary figures; plus (minus) • the parent’s share of any fair value changes realized during the period through usage or sale of subsidiary assets (fair value amortization and amounts realized through the sale of subsidiary assets prior to the end of their economic life). It would be unusual for fair value realizations to be related to revenues. However, it could happen. For example, amortization of a fair value change on a long-term receivable would be treated as an adjustment of interest revenue. © 2008 Clarence Byrd Inc. 63 Summary Of Definitional Calculations Expense The amount of any expense to be included in the consolidated Income Statement is calculated as follows: • 100 percent of the amount reported in the parent company’s financial statements; plus • 100 percent of the amount reported in the subsidiary’s financial statements; minus • 100 percent of any intercompany amounts included in the parent or subsidiary figures; plus (minus) • the parent’s share of any fair value changes realized during the period through usage or sale of subsidiary assets (fair value amortization and amounts realized through the sale of subsidiary assets prior to the end of their economic life). © 2008 Clarence Byrd Inc. 64 Summary Of Definitional Calculations Goodwill Impairment Loss If the required annual test of goodwill for impairment determines that any impairment has occurred during the current period, this amount will be recorded as a Goodwill Impairment Loss. © 2008 Clarence Byrd Inc. 65 Summary Of Definitional Calculations Non-Controlling Interest - Income Statement The non-controlling interest in the consolidated Income Statement is an amount equal to the non-controlling interest’s ownership percentage of the reported Net Income. Note that, if the subsidiary has extraordinary items or results from discontinued operations, this Non-Controlling Interest will be based on the subsidiary’s Income Before Extraordinary Items And Discontinued Operations. Also note that, in situations where there are preferred shares with a prior claim on the income of the subsidiary, the Non-Controlling Interest to be disclosed in the consolidated Income Statement will include such claims. © 2008 Clarence Byrd Inc. 66 Summary Of Definitional Calculations Consolidated Net Income Consolidated Net Income can be calculated as follows: • 100 percent of the parent company’s Net Income, excluding dividends received from the subsidiary; plus (minus) • the parent’s share of the subsidiary’s reported Net Income (Net Loss); plus (minus) • the parent’s share of any fair value changes realized during the period through usage or sale of subsidiary assets (fair value amortization and amounts realized through the sale of subsidiary assets prior to the end of their economic life); minus • any Goodwill Impairment Loss that is recognized during the period. © 2008 Clarence Byrd Inc. 67 International Convergence Standards • IFRS No. 3, Business Combinations • IAS No. 27, Consolidated And Separate Financial Statements © 2008 Clarence Byrd Inc. 68 International Convergence Differences (Current Standards) • Asset Valuation IFRS No. 3 requires that 100 percent of fair value changes on identifiable assets be recognized at the time of acquisition. Section 1581 only allows the acquirer’s share to be recognized. Note, however, IFRS No. 3 does not allow the recognition of 100 percent of goodwill. Only the acquirer’s share of this asset can be recognized. • Non-Controlling Interest Consistent with the entity approach, IAS No. 27 requires the non-controlling interest to be presented as a component of consolidated Shareholders’ Equity. The value to be recognized will include the non-controlling interest’s share of fair value changes on identifiable assets. • Terminology IAS No. 27 continues to use the term Minority Interest, rather than the more accurate Non-Controlling Interest. However, this is certain to be changed by the amendments resulting from the FASB/IASB project. Given this, we will ignore this difference in presenting examples based on current IFRSs. © 2008 Clarence Byrd Inc. 69 International Convergence Proposals • At this time (December, 2007), it appears that the IASB will require the recognition of 100 percent of goodwill • There may also be a different approach to its measurement © 2008 Clarence Byrd Inc. 70 © 2008 Clarence Byrd Inc. 71
