Introduction
Recap of chapter 3
• Acquisition method: recognize and measure identifiable net assets
at fair value + recognize goodwill
– Recognition and measurement principles
• Different forms of business combination but in substance they share

common features
– Acquirer who gains control of one or more businesses
– Acquisition of a subsidiary = Acquisition of its net assets
4
Introduction
Focus of chapter 4:
• Subsequent effects when identifiable net assets are sold, consumed, extinguished or
amortized.
– Sale, consumption, use or settlement of the assets and liabilities of acquiree
should be recorded at acquisition date fair value
– Test for impairment of goodwill
• Subsequent effects of acquisition
– Demonstrate how consolidation journal entries are passed to record the
subsequent effects of acquisition
• Accounting for non-controlling interests
– Show how the balance of the non-controlling interests can be analyzed with
respect to three components
– Illustrate the consolidation journal entries to recognize non-controlling interest’s
share of equity
• Accounting for business combinations in multiple periods
– Explain the re-enactment process: involving re-enacting certain past
consolidation adjusting entries.

• Investment account is eliminated
– To ensure that the investment account must be zero
– Substituted with subsidiary’s identifiable net assets and goodwill (residual)
– Rationale: Avoid recognizing assets in two forms (investment in parent’s
statement of financial position and individual assets and liabilities of subsidiary)
7
Elimination of Investment Account
• Investment account is eliminated (Continued)

– Pre-acquisition retained earnings or pre-acquisition reserves of subsidiary
are not included in consolidated equity
• Rationale: Pre-acquisition retained earnings arose prior to the
acquisition of control by parent
– The elimination process will result in residuals comprising of
• Goodwill; and
• Excess or deficit of fair value over book value of identifiable net assets
• Re-enactment of elimination of investment entry in subsequent year

– Re-enacted as long as the investment exists
• Rationale: parent’s legal entity financial statements would include
investment in subsidiary balance

Illustration 1: Elimination of investment
Illustration
On 8 August 2010, Parent Co. bought 100% interest in subsidiary for
$200,000. At the date of acquisition, Subsidiary Co had the following:
Share capital: $50,000

Retained earnings: $30,000
Equity: $80,000
At acquisition date, Subsidiary Co had an unrecognized intangible

asset had a fair value of $50,000. Tax rate was 20%

statements of parent and subsidiary
• CJE 1 has to be re-enacted at each reporting date as long as Parent has
control over subsidiary
• Each consolidation process is a fresh-start approach

In Subsequent Years
• At acquisition date, we recognize:

– Fair value of identifiable net assets of acquiree as at acquisition date,
– Intangibles assets, contingent liabilities,
– Deferred tax assets or liabilities on the above; and
– Goodwill as a residual
• In subsequent years:
– Subsequent extinguishment of assets and liabilities of subsidiary must be
determined based on the fair values at acquisition date.
– Therefore, subsequent amortization, depreciation and cost of sales of acquired
assets are determined based on fair value as at acquisition date
– Elimination of consideration transferred , recognition of fair value adjustments
and amortization entries must be repeated until:
i. Date of disposal of the investment in subsidiary; or
ii. Date when control is lost
14
In Subsequent Years
• In subsequent years (Continued)
– Acquisition method only recognizes fair value at critical event: acquisition
date
• New internally-generated goodwill or subsequent appreciation in fair
values are not recognized subsequent to acquisition date
– Since net assets are carried at book value (carrying amount) in the
separate financial statements, the subsequent
amortization/depreciation/disposal are adjusted in the consolidation

Amortization of Fair Value Differentials
• P Co paid $6,200,000 and issued 1,000,000 of its own shares to
acquire 80% of S Co on 1 Jan 20X5
• Fair value of P Co’s share is $3 per share
• Fair value of net identifiable assets is as follows:
Book value Fair value Remaining useful life

Additional information:
• Contingent liability of $100,000 was recognized as a provision loss
by the acquiree in legal entity financial statement on Dec 20X5
• FV of NCI at acquisition date was $2,300,000
• Net profit after tax of S Co for 31 Dec 20X5 was $1,000,000
• No dividends were declared during 20X5
• Shareholders’ equity as at 31 Dec 20X5 was $5,700,000

Illustration 2:
• Consideration transferred = Cash consideration + Fair value
of share issued
= $6,200,000 + (1,000,000 x $3)
= $9,200,000
• Deferred tax liability = 20% x ($7,600,000 - $4,700,000)

= $580,000
• Goodwill = Consideration transferred + NCI – Fair value of net

identifiable assets, after-tax
= $9,200,000 + $2,300,000 – ($7,600,000 - $580,000)
= $4,480,000
18
Illustration 2:
• P’s share of goodwill = Consideration transferred – 80% x Fair
value of net identifiable assets, after tax
= $9,200,000 – 80% x $7,020,000
= $9,200,000 – $5,616,000
= $3,584,000
• NCI’s share of goodwill = Consideration transferred – 20% x Fair

value of net identifiable assets, after tax
= $2,300,000 – 20% x $7,020,000
= $2,300,000 – $1,404,000
= $896,000

• NCI have a share in the extinguishment of the initial FV differences
and in the impairment of goodwill.
• Net profit after tax represents that increase in the book value of
equity of the subsidiary
• Other adjustments relate to the extinguishment of the FV
differentials
• NCI have a share of $176,000 of adjusted profit which represents
– Increase in book value
– Decrease in fair value differentials

6. Conclusion
28
Non-controlling interest
• NCI only arises in consolidated financial statements where:
– one or more subsidiaries are not wholly owned by the parent (IFRS 10)
• NCI are entitled to their share of retained earnings of the subsidiary from
incorporation
– No distinction between pre-acquisition and post-acquisition retained
earnings for NCI
• Same applies to OCI
– NCI collectively have a share of accumulated OCI arising from
incorporate date to the current date
• NCI are normally a credit balance
– Share of residual interests in the net assets of a subsidiary
– Total equity (parent’s and NCI) = Assets - Liabilities

Reconstructing NCI on Statement of
Financial Position
• At each reporting date, group will re-create NCI account in the
consolidated financial statement by recognizing the sequential build
up:
– As of acquisition date
– From acquisition date to beginning of the current period
– During the current period
• Known as the “re-enactment process” of the attribution of equity to

NCI
32
Accounting for NCI under IFRS 3
• Equity on the consolidated statement of financial position must

include both the interests of equity owners of the parent company
and NCI of partially owned subsidiaries
• NCI is an equity item and must be separately shown from the equity
of the owners of the parent company
• Asset and liabilities of the subsidiary must be reported in full
33
Non-Controlling Interests’ Share of
Goodwill
• IFRS 3 Para 19 allows NCI to be measured in either of two ways
Non-controlling interests
Measured at Fair Measured as a

value at acquisition proportion of the
date (include recognized amounts of
goodwill) the identifiable assets as
“ Fair value basis” at acquisition date
34
Goodwill
• Under the fair value basis:
– FV is determined by either the active market prices of subsidiary’s
equity share at acquisition date or other valuation techniques
– FV per share of NCI may differ from parent because of control premium
paid by parent (e.g. 20% premium over market price to gain control)
– NCI comprises of 3 items:
Non – controlling
interests
Share of
Share of book value unamortized Goodwill attributable to
of net assets FV adjustment NCI
(FV - BV)
35
Goodwill
• Under the fair value option:
– Journal entry to record NCI at fair value (re-enacted each year):

Dr Other equity at acquisition date
Dr FV differentials (FV- BV)
Dr Goodwill (Parent & NCI)
Dr/Cr Deferred tax asset/ (liability) on fair value adjustment
Cr Investment in subsidiary
Cr FV differentials (BV – FV)
Cr Non-controlling interests (At fair value)
36
Goodwill
• Under the 2nd option:
– NCI is a proportion of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets (i.e. not full
fair value)
– NCI comprises of 2 items:

Illustration 3:
Non-Controlling Interests’ Share of Goodwill
The FV of NCI that owned 10% of Subsidiary A as at 31 Dec
20x1(Acquisition date) was $25,000. The financial statements of
Subsidiary A as at acquisition date are as shown below. Subsidiary A
had unrecognized intangible assets with fair value of $40,000. Tax rate
is 20%. Determine NCI’s good will as at acquisition date.
Subsidiary A’s Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 20x1:
Net assets 160,000
Equity 140,000
Share Capital 20,000
Retained Earnings 160,000

NCI's share of FV of identifiable net assets (10%) 19,200
NCI's goodwill (25,000 - 19,200) 5,800
Under alternative basis where NCI are measured as a proportion of the

recognized amounts of the identifiable assets as at acquisition date:
 NCI’s goodwill is zero
 Amount to be recognized as NCI is $19,200 only
41
Allocation to Non-controlling Interests
1. Allocation of the change in equity from date of acquisition to the
beginning of the current period
Dr Retained earnings (NCI % x in RE from acquisition date to

beginning of current period)
Cr NCI
• No distinction between pre-acquisition or post-acquisition profits

• To transfer the NCI’s share of subsidiary’s retained earnings to NCI
42
2. Allocation of current profit after tax to NCI
Dr Income to NCI
Cr NCI
• Attribution of profit to NCI is not expense item and should not be shown
above the profit after tax line
• Without attribution, retained earnings of the group would be over-stated

and NCI’s share of equity would be under-stated
• The same attribution principle applies to Other Comprehensive Income

(OCI) – NCI are attributed their share of OCI arising during a period
 Examples: Revaluation surplus or deficit on property, PPE and

intangible assets etc.
43
3. Allocation of dividends to NCI
• Reverses the profit and loss effects of dividends in consolidated
income statement
• A repayment of profits by a subsidiary
• Reduces the NCI’s residual stake in the net assets of the subsidiary
Dr Dividend income (Parent)

Dr NCI (Equity)
Cr Dividends declared (Subsidiary)
44
Other Components of Non-Controlling
Interests
• Acquiree may have other equity components other than equity shares that
are not owned directly or indirectly by the parent
– Falls within the definition of NCI as defined in IFRS 3 as “the equity in a
subsidiary not attributable directly or indirectly to a parent”
• Paragraph 19 of IFRS 3 stipulates the accounting treatment, to enable the

calculation of goodwill on acquisition.
45
Other Components of Non-Controlling
Interests
Acquiree’s equity components Measurement basis under IFRS 3
Ordinary shares (held by NCI) Proportion share of net identifiable assets
or fair value
Preference shares with holders entitled to Proportion share of net identifiable assets
proportionate share of net assets upon liquidation or fair value
Preference shares with holders not entitled to Fair value
proportionate share of net assets upon liquidation
Equity element of compound financial instrument Fair value
Options/warrants Fair value
Employee share options Market based measure in accordance
with IFRS 2 at acquisition date
• The rationale for the difference in measurement basis (Fair value and proportionate
share of acquiree’s net identifiable assets) is because those equity items belong to
third parties and do not entitle the holder to a pro rata share of the entity’s net assets.
46
Can NCI be a debit balance?
• IFRS 10 paragraph B94 (Appendix B) requires NCI to have a debit

balance if:
– NCI share of losses > NCI existing share of the subsidiary’s share capital,
retained earnings and other equity items
• Departure from an earlier version of IAS 27 that requires NCI to be

carried at zero balance
– Losses being borne by majority shareholders unless the NCI have binding
obligation to make further investments to make good the losses
• Opposing views on NCI being a debit balance

– Parent who has control of subsidiary should bear the responsibility of supporting
an insolvent subsidiary
– Limited liability argument: NCI stand to lose only their investment and have no
legal obligation to bear any further losses
47
Can NCI be a debit balance?
• IASB’s support for NCI to be a debit balance

– NCI as equity holders participate proportionally in the risks and rewards of a
subsidiary
– Limited liability argument: Parent stand to lose only their investment and have no
legal obligation to bear any further losses in the absence of guarantees
48
Analytical check on Non-controlling
Interests’ balance
• If the fair value basis is adopted
– NCI in a subsidiary have a share in the same three components that
the parent has under the acquisition method
• If NCI are recognized as proportion of FV of identifiable net assets

– Only two components apply to non-controlling interests
• Share of book value of net assets or shareholders’ equity of a
subsidiary
• Share of the balance of unamortized fair value adjustments
• If NCI have both present ownership interests (e.g. ordinary shares)

and potential ownership interests (e.g. options)
– Only present ownership interests may be measured as a proportion of
identifiable net assets
49
Analytical check on Non-controlling
Interests’ balance
NCI’s share of (NCI % multiply by):

a) Book value of net assets of subsidiary at
year-end +/- remaining unrealized
=
NCI’s balance at profit/loss from upstream sale
year-end b) Unamortized balance of FV adjustments at
year-end
c) Unimpaired balance of goodwill at year
end ([Acquisition-date FV of NCI – NCI %
x acquisition-date FV of identifiable net
assets] less any cumulative impairment)

6. Conclusion
51
Goodwill Impairment Test
• IAS 36: Goodwill has to be reviewed annually for impairment loss
– Reviewed as part of a cash-generating unit (CGU)
• CGU is the lowest level at which the goodwill is monitored for internal
management purposes and
• Not larger than a segment determined under IFRS 8 Operating Segments
– Goodwill will be allocated to each of the acquirer’s CGU, or group of
CGUs
52
1. Carrying amount:
– Net assets of the cash-generating unit
– It includes entity goodwill attribute to parent and NCI
2. Recoverable amount:
– IAS 36 allows the higher of the below two metrics to determine
recoverable amount:
 Higher of FV less cost to sell (an arms-length measure)
 Uses market based inputs or market participants’ assumptions in the
valuation process
 Value-in-use (VIU)
 Present value of future net cash flows
 Uses internal or entity-specific input to determine the future cash flows
 VIU likely to be more discretionary as assumptions about future cash flows
are required
53
3. If carrying amount > recoverable amount

– Impairment loss is first allocated to goodwill
– Then to other assets in proportion to their individual carrying amounts
– Impairment tests to be carried out on annual basis; regardless of
whether indications of impairment exists
– Impairment once made is not reversible, as it may result in the
recognition of internally-generated goodwill which is prohibited under
IAS 38
54
Steps for impairment test
Determine the carrying amount of the CGU
Determine the recoverable amount of the CGU
Recoverable amount: Higher of fair value or value in use
If carrying amount ≤ If carrying amount ≥

recoverable amount recoverable amount
Allocate impairment loss

Company X has 80% ownership in a CGU with identifiable net assets
of $6 million as at 31 Dec 20x1. The recoverable amount of the CGU
as an entity was $5 million as at that date. Determine the impairment
loss of goodwill in the CGU under two alternative measurement basis:
(a) NC measured at FV at acquisition date. Goodwill recognized by

CGU was $1.2 million
(b) NCI measured as a proportion of FV of identifiable net assets at
acquisition date. Goodwill recognized by CGU was $1 million

Illustration 4:
Question (a)
Goodwill Identifiable net assets Total

Carrying amount 1,200,000 6,000,000 7,200,000
Recoverable amount 5,000,000
Impairment loss 1,200,000 1,000,000 2,200,000
Impairment loss borne by

Parent and NCI 1,200,000 1,000,000 2,200,000
Explanatory notes:
• Goodwill allocated to a CGU to enable comparison between carrying
amount of all assets of the unit and recoverable amount
• Goodwill attributable to NCI is included under recognized goodwill (no
further adjustment is required)

Illustration 4:
Question (b)
Goodwill Identifiable net assets Total
Carrying amount 1,000,000 6,000,000 7,000,000
NCI's share of goodwill 250000 (20% x $1million/0.8) 250,000

Notionally adjusted
carrying amount 1,250,000 6,000,000 7,250,000
Recoverable amount 5,000,000
Impairment loss 1,250,000 1,000,000 2,250,000
Impairment loss recognized 1000000 (80% x $1.25 million) 1,000,000 1,000,000
Explanatory notes:
• Since comparison is done against the carrying amount of assets of a CGU,
goodwill is regrossed under alternative (b) to show theoretical goodwill as at
date of acquisition
• NCI unrecognized share of goodwill is included

Appendix: Accounting for other
components of Non-Controlling Interests
• P Co paid a consideration of $2,500,000 to purchase all 400,000
ordinary shares in S Co on 1 Jan 20x1
• Net assets of S Co on acquisition date was $711,000 and fair value
of net identifiable assets was $800,000.
• Tax effects are ignored.
• Other equity components:
– 1,000 Preference shares of $1 each, which do not carry voting rights
and provide their holders a right to a preferred dividend over the
payment of any dividend to ordinary shareholders. Fair value of
preference shares on acquisition date: $2,000
60
• During the year (Cont’d):
– 2 tranches of employee share options issued and carrying amount worth
$70,000:
• Tranche 1 had a carrying value of $20,000, not vested as at date of
acquisition
• Tranche 2 had a carrying value of $50,000, vesting period of 2 years
and as of acquisition date, employees have completed 1 out of the 2
years vesting period
• Market based measure of share option calculated amounted to
$56,000
– Convertible loan to third parties issued
• Equity conversion option with carrying amount of $40,000 was
recognized as part of the equity of S Co
• Fair value of equity conversion option as of acquisition date was
$48,000
61
Analysis for components of non-controlling interests:
• Analysis for preference shares:
– Preference shares do not carry equal rights and ranking to the ordinary
shares issued by the Company.
– Preference shares do not carry voting rights.
– Preference shares only give priority to payment of dividends to holders
– Hence, ownership of preference shares do not represent present
ownership interests which entitle holders to a proportionate share of net
assets upon liquidation.
• Measurement of preference shares at fair value at acquisition date

of $2,000.
62
• Analysis for Employee share options:
– Tranche 1 vested by the date of acquisition:
• P Co does not replace the shares held by the employees of S Co on
acquisition
• Under the terms and conditions, the share options held by
employees do not expire on acquisition of S Co by P Co.
• Share options do not represent present ownership interests which
entitle their holders to a proportionate share of net assets upon
liquidation as employees have not exercised their options to acquire
the ordinary shares in the S Co as at the date of acquisition.
• Measurement at market-based measure in accordance with IFRS 2

at $20,000.
63
• Analysis for Employee share options:
– Tranche 2 unvested by the date of acquisition:
• P Co does not replace the shares held by the employees of S Co on
acquisition
• Under the terms and conditions, the share options held by employees
do not expire on acquisition of S Co by P Co.
• Share options do not represent present ownership interests which
entitle their holders to a proportionate share of net assets upon
liquidation as employees have not exercised their options to acquire the
ordinary shares in the S Co as at the date of acquisition.
• Amount allocated to the NCI is based on the ratio of the portion of the
vesting period completed to the greater of the total vesting period and
the original vesting period of the share based payment transaction -
$28,000 ($56,000 x 1 year/2 years)
• Measurement at market-based measure in accordance with IFRS 2 at $28,000.

64
• Analysis for Equity conversion option:
– Equity conversion option held by external parties
– No present ownership interests which entitle holders to a proportionate
share of net assets upon liquidation as options have yet to be exercised
by holders as of acquisition date.
• Measurement at fair value at $48,000.
65
Calculation of fair value uplift on acquisition
Fair value uplift on acquisition
= $800,000 - $711,000
= $89,000
Calculation of goodwill
Consideration transferred
= $2,500,000 - $28,000 (being paid for post combination employee service)
= $2,472,000
Goodwill
= Fair value of consideration transferred + Amount of NCI at acquisition date –
Recognized net identifiable assets of acquiree measured
= $2,472,000 + ($2,000 + $20,000 + $28,000 + $48,0000) - $800,000
= $1,770,000
66
Preparation of consolidation journal entries:
CJE1: Elimination of share capital and investment account
Dr Share capital and other reserves 711,000
Dr Net identifiable assets (excess of fair value over NBV) 89,000
Dr Goodwill 1,770,000
Dr Staff costs – P/L 28,000
Cr Investment in subsidiary 2,500,000
Cr NCI – Preference shares 2,000
Cr NCI – Share option reserve 48,000
Cr NCI – Equity component of convertible loan 48,000
67
Conclusion
• Two sets of financial statements must be presented:

– Investor’s separate financial statements for the legal entity
– Consolidated financial statements for group of companies
• Although two sets of accounts exist, only one set of “books” has to be kept by
the legal entity
– Consolidation worksheets are used to prepare consolidated financial statement
• Summation of line items of the financial statements of parents and
subsidiaries
• Incorporation of adjustments to eliminate and adjust intragroup transactions
and balances
• Transactions and balances in consolidated financial statement reflect
group’s perspective
68
Conclusion
• All business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition

method
– Entails an “asset substitution process”
– Acquirer is deemed to have obtained control of all assets and liabilities of
acquiree.
– Acquisition date is a critical economic event (exchange of economic
resources between acquirer and the former-owners)
– Use of fair values to recognize assets and liabilities
– Unrecognized intangible assets and contingent liabilities recognized if they
meet criteria in IFRS 3
– NCI included as a component in equity
69
Conclusion
• Under the acquisition method:

– Consideration transferred = Fair value of (assets transferred + liabilities
incurred + equity interests issued by acquirer + contingent
consideration)
– Asset substitution process: Investment account is eliminated and
substituted with:
• Subsidiary’s identifiable net assets; and
• Goodwill
– Goodwill = Fair value of (consideration transferred + non-controlling
interests + acquirer’s previously held interest in the acquiree) –
acquiree’s recognized net identifiable assets
