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

• 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.
Allocation to Non-controlling Interests
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

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
Can NCI be a debit balance?...
• 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
Can NCI be a debit balance?
• IASB’s support for NCI to be a debit balance
• NCI 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
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
Analytical check…
NCI’s share of (NCI % multiply by):
a) Book value of net assets of subsidiary at year-
end +/- unrealized profit/loss from upstream
sale
NCI’s balance = b) Unamortized balance of FV adjustments at year-
end
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)
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
Goodwill Impairment Test…
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
Goodwill Impairment Test…
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
Goodwill Impairment Test…
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
Goodwill Impairment Test…

Determine the recoverable amount of the CGU
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)

1000000 (80% x $1.25
Impairment loss recognized 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
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
Conclusion
• 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
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
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
