4.1. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENT (CFS)
• Consolidated financial statements are the financial statements of a group in
which the assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the parent
and its subsidiaries are presented as those of a single economic entity.

1. POWER OVER AN INVESTEE
• Power = existing rights that give it the current ability to
direct the relevant activities.
• Power arises from rights (e.g. voting rights, rights to
appoint key personnel, among others)
• Relevant activities: The investor has been directing
Rights relevant activities can help to determine whether the
investor has power.
▪ Selling and purchasing of goods or services
Relevant • Managing financial assets during their life (including upon default)
activities • Selecting, acquiring or disposing of assets
• Researching and developing new products or processes
• Determining a funding structure or obtaining funding
An investor need not have absolute power to control an investee
Process of determining control
17
Power
• Power can be exerted through
• Voting rights: remain as the most important source of power.
• However, even if voting rights is the most persuasive source of power, we have to
consider evidence beyond absolute voting rights (relative voting rights).
• Scenario, three investors collectively have more than 50% ownership interests.
The remaining 43% ownership interests are dispersed over 100 investors, each
not owning more than 0.5% interest. The Annual General Meeting (AGM) is
attended by investors A, B, and C and about a third of other investors.

Power
• Power can be exerted through
• Potential voting rights: are rights to obtain voting rights of an investee from
potential ordinary shares.
• These shares include options, convertible instruments and forward or futures
contracts that enable the holder to acquire actual voting rights.
• Scenario, Investor A, the founding investor, invited Investor B and Investor C to
purchase shares in Entity X. Investor B is a strategic investor who has knowledge
of Entity X’s business. Investor A is a financial investor. Investor C is a related
party of Investor A. Investor B was issued options that would allow B to be issued
with 40,000 ordinary shares.

Potential Voting Rights in the Determination of Control

Power
• Power can be exerted through
• Power over key management personnel: The entity that is able to appoint,
remove and remunerate these personnel effectively has the power over these
personnel.
• management personnel are persons having authority and responsibility for
planning, directing, and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly.
• Control over another entity that directs relevant activities:
• management contracts
• other arrangements.
• technical know-how
• Statutory and contractual provisions, rights to veto or enter into
transactions
21
Power
• Power can be exerted through
• Special relationships: considers of qualitative sources of power
• The key management personnel of the investee are current or
previous employees of the investor;
• The investee’s operations are dependent on the investor (for
example, provision of critical services or specialized knowledge);
• A significant portion of the investee’s activities are conducted on
behalf of or may significantly involve the investor; or
• The investor’s exposure or rights to returns is proportionately
higher than its ownership interests in the investee.
22
Example 1
23
Example 2
• Remaining voting rights are held by three other shareholders (each with
1%).
25
Example 4

3. LINK BETWEEN POWER AND RETURNS
• An investor controls an investee if the investor not only has power over the
investee and exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement
with the investee, but also has the ability to use its power to affect the
investor’s returns from its involvement with the investee.
• A case of power without control is the agency relationship.
• An agent is a party contracted by a principal to perform some service on
behalf of the principal that involves delegating some authority to the agent.
• Agent
– acts in the best interests of the principal (fiduciary responsibility)
– principal and agent seek to maximise their own benefits
– additional measures to ensure the agent does not act against the interests of the
principal
• Delegated power does not mean control.
29
Ability
Ability requires
• Substantive rights: the practical ability to exercise the rights that it is empowered
with.
• Assuming that the options are immediately exercisable, consider the following
variations:
(a) The options are profitable (in the money).
• In this scenario, Investor B has control with 59% ownership, as there is no financial barrier to
Investor B to exercise the options.
(b) The options are clearly not profitable (deeply out of the money).
• In this scenario, Investor A has control as the options are clearly not profitable, and there is a
financial barrier to Investor B in the form of a financial disincentive to exercise the options.
(c) The options are out of the money but not deeply so.
• This is an area of subjective evaluation and it is not clear if there is a sufficient barrier to
prevent the exercise of the options. Other evidence may be required to assess if control exists.

Example
• A structured entity is created and financed by debt instruments
held by a senior lender and a subordinated lender and a minimal
equity investment from the sponsor. The subordinated lender
transferred receivables to the structured entity.
• Managing the receivables in default is the only activity of the
structured entity that causes its returns to vary, and this power
has been given to the subordinated lender by contract. The
subordinated loan is designed to absorb the first losses and to
receive any residual return from the structured entity. The senior
lender has exposure to variable returns due to the credit risk of
the structured entity.
Exemption from preparing group accounts
• Exemption is allowed if and only if all of the following hold.
(a) The parent is itself a wholly-owned sub. or it is a partially owned sub.
of another entity & its other owners, have been informed about, and do
not object to, the parent not presenting CFS.
(d) The ultimate or intermediate parent publishes CFSs that comply with
IFRS. 34
Exemptions …
• The rules on exclusion of subsidiaries from consldn are
necessarily strict.
– B/c, this is a common method used by entities to manipulate
their results.

4.5. ACCOUNTING REQUIREMENT
1. UNIFORM Accounting Period IF NOT, Adjustments (Reconciliations) Required!!!
(a) Derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the former subsidiary from the consolidated statement of
financial position.
(c) Recognizes the gain or loss associated with the loss of control
Disposal of Subsidiary
A parent sells an 85% interest in a wholly owned subsidiary as follows:
❑ After the sale the parent accounts for its remaining 15% interest as
an available-for-sale investment;
❑ The subsidiary did not recognize any amounts in other
comprehensive income;
❑ Net assets of the subsidiary before the disposal are $500;
❑ Cash proceeds from the sale of the 85% interests are $750; and
❑ The fair value of the 15% interest retained by the parent is $130.
• When a sub has a different reporting date from the Group; the
subsidiary may prepare additional statements to the reporting date
of the rest of the group, for consolidation purposes.
– If this is not possible, the sub's accounts may still be used for the
consolidation, provided that the gap between the reporting dates is
3 months or less.
• And adjustments should be made for the effects of significant
transactions/events that occur b/n that date and the parent's reporting
date.
4.6. STEPS OF CFS
1. Combine like items of assets, liabilities, income, expenses and cash
flows of the parent at Book Value with those of its subsidiaries at Fair
values;
2. Offset (eliminate): the carrying amount of the parent’s investment in
subsidiary; and the subsidiary`s equity account (i.e. Common Stock,
Additional Paid in capital and Retained Earning.);
3. Eliminate in full intra-group assets and liabilities, equity, income,
expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between entities of
the group (Inter company Receivable and Payables).
4. The elimination is not entered in either the parent company’s or the
subsidiary’s accounting records; it is only a part of the working paper
for preparation of the consolidated balance sheet.
STEPS OF CFS………….
5. The elimination And Adjustment is used to reflect differences between
current fair values and carrying amounts of the subsidiary’s
identifiable net assets because the subsidiary did not write up its
assets to current fair values on the date of the business combination.

Acquisition Method Example
Purchase Price = Fair Value
Assume BigNet Company owns Internet communications equipment and
other business software applications. It seeks to expand its operations and
plans to acquire Smallport on December 31. Smallport Company owns
similar assets.
Smallport’s net assets have a book value of $600,000 and a fair value of
$2,550,000. Fair values for assets and liabilities are appraised; capital
stock, retained earnings, dividend, revenue, and expense accounts
represent historical measurements. The equity and income accounts are
not transferred in the combination.

Basic Consolidation Information

Consideration Transferred =
Net Identified Asset Fair Values
• Assume that after negotiations with the owners of Smallport,
BigNet agrees to pay cash of $550,000 and to issue 20,000
previously unissued shares of its $10 par value common stock
(currently selling for $100 per share) for all of Smallport’s
assets and liabilities. Following the acquisition, Smallport then
dissolves itself as a legal entity.
50
Consideration Transferred Exceeds Net
Identified Asset Fair Values
• Assume BigNet transfers to the owners of Smallport
consideration of $1,000,000 in cash plus 20,000 shares of
common stock with a fair value of $100 per share in
exchange for ownership of the company. The consideration
transferred from BigNet to Smallport is now computed as
follows and results in an excess amount exchanged over the
fair value of the net assets acquired:

Consideration Transferred Is Less Than Net
Identified Asset Fair Values
• Assume BigNet have transferred consideration of $2,000,000 to
the owners of Smallport in exchange for their business. BigNet
conveys no cash and issues 20,000 shares of $10 par common
stock that has a $100 per share fair value. The consideration
transferred from BigNet to Smallport is now computed as
follows and results in a gain on bargain purchase:

• Building blocks of consolidation worksheet are the legal entity financial
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
