CHAPTER 04CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AND OUTSIDE OWNERSHIPChapter Outline

I. Outside ownership may be present within any business combinationA. Complete ownership of a subsidiary is not a prerequisite for consolidation—only

enough voting shares need be owned so that the acquiring company has the ability to control the decision-making process of the acquired company

B. Any ownership retained in a subsidiary corporation by a party unrelated to the acquiring company is termed a noncontrolling interest

II. Valuation of subsidiary assets and liabilities poses a problem when a noncontrolling interest is present follows the acquisition method

1. The accounting emphasis is placed on the entire entity that results from the business combination as measured by the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the controlling and noncontrolling interests.

2. Valuation of subsidiary accounts is based on the acquisition-date fair value of the company (frequently determined by the consideration transferred and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest); specific subsidiary assets and liabilities are consolidated at their fair values

3. The noncontrolling interest balance is reported as a component of stockholders' equity

III. Consolidations involving a noncontrolling interest—subsequent to the date of acquisitionA. According to the parent company concept, all noncontrolling interest amounts are

calculated in reference to the book value of the subsidiary companyB. Only four noncontrolling interest figures are determined for reporting purposes

1. Beginning of year balance2. Interest in subsidiary’s current income3. Dividends paid during the period4. End of year balance

C. Noncontrolling interest balances are accumulated in a separate column in the consolidation worksheet1. The beginning of year figure is recorded on the worksheet as a component of

Entries S and A2. The noncontrolling interest's share of the subsidiary's income is established by a

columnar entry that simultaneously reports the balance in both the consolidated income statement and the noncontrolling interest column

3. Dividends paid to these outside owners are reflected by extending the subsidiary's Dividends Paid balance (after eliminating intra-entity transfers) into the noncontrolling interest column as a reduction

Chapter 04 - Consolidated Financial Statements and Outside Ownership

IV. Step acquisitionsA. An acquiring company may make several different purchases of a subsidiary's stock

in order to gain controlB. Upon attaining control, all of the parent’s previous investments in the subsidiary are

adjusted to fair value and a gain or loss recognized as appropriateC. Upon attaining control, the valuation basis for the subsidiary is established at its

total fair value (the sum of the fair values of the controlling and noncontrolling interests)

Vl. Sales of subsidiary stockA. The proper book value must be established within the parent's Investment account

so that the sales transaction can be correctly recordedB. The investment balance is adjusted as if the equity method had been applied during

the entire period of ownershipC. If only a portion of the shares are being sold, the book value of the investment

account is reduced using either a FIFO or a weighted-average cost flow assumptionD. If the parent maintains control, any difference between the proceeds of the sale and

the equity-adjusted book value of the share sold is recognized as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital.

E. If the parent loses control with the sale of the subsidiary shares, the difference between the proceeds of the sale and the equity-adjusted book value of the share sold is recognized as a gain or loss.

F. Any interest retained by the parent company should be accounted for by either consolidation, the equity method, or the fair value method depending on the influence remaining after the sale.

Answers to Questions

1. "Noncontrolling interest" refers to an equity interest that is held in a member of a business combination by an unrelated (outside) party.

2. a. Acquisition method = $220,000 (fair value)

b. Purchase method = $208,000 (all of the book value plus 80 percent of the $60,000 difference between fair value and book value)

3. A control premium is the portion of an acquisition price (above currently traded market values) paid by a parent company to induce shareholders to sell a sufficient number of shares to obtain control. The extra payment typically becomes part of the goodwill acquired in the acquisition attributable to the parent company.

4. Current accounting standards require the noncontrolling interest to appear in various locations within consolidated financial statements. The end of year balance can be found in the stockholders' equity section. The noncontrolling interest's share of net income is shown as an allocated component of consolidated net income.

5. The ending noncontrolling interest can be determined on a consolidation worksheet by adding the four components found in the noncontrolling interest column: (1) the beginning balance of the subsidiary’s book value, (2) the noncontrolling interest share of the adusted acquisition-date excess fair over book value allocation, (3) its share of current year subsidiary income, (4) less dividends paid to these outside owners.

6. Allsports should remove the pre-acquisition revenues and expenses from the consolidated totals. These amounts were earned (incurred) prior to ownership by Allsports and therefore should are not earnings for the current parent company owners.

7. Following the second acquisition, consolidation is appropriate. Once Tree gains control, the 10% previous ownership is included at fair value as part of the total consideration transferred by Tree in the acquisition.

8. When a company sells a portion of an investment, it must remove the carrying value of that portion from its investment account. The carrying value is based upon application of the equity method. Thus, if either the initial value method or the partial equity method has been used, Duke must first restate the account to the equity method before recording the sales transaction. This same method is also applied to the operations of the current period occurring prior to the time of sale.

9. Unless control is surrendered, the acquisition method views the sale of subsidiary's stock as a transaction with its owners. Thus, no gain or loss is recognized. The difference between the sale proceeds and the carrying value of the shares sold (equity method) is accounted for as an adjustment to the parent’s additional paid in capital.

10. The accounting method choice for the remaining shares depends upon the current relationship between the two firms. If Duke retains control, consolidation is still required. However, if the parent now can only significantly influence the decision-making process, the equity method is applied. A third possibility is Duke may have lost the power to exercise even significant influence. The fair value method then is appropriate.

Answers to Problems

1. C

2. D At the date control is obtained, the parent consolidates subsidiary assets at fair value ($500,000 in this case) regardless of the parent’s percentage ownership.

3. D In consolidating the subsidiary's figures, all intra-entity balances must be eliminated in their entirety for external reporting purposes. Even though the subsidiary is less than fully owned, the parent nonetheless controls it.

21. (40 minutes) (Several valuation and income determination questions for a business combination involving a noncontrolling interest.)

a. Business combinations are recorded generally at the fair value of the consideration transferred by the acquiring firm plus the acquisition-date fair value of the noncontrolling interest.

Patterson’s consideration transferred ($31.25 × 80,000 shares)......... $2,500,000Noncontrolling interest fair value ($30.00 × 20,000 shares)................. 600,000Soriano’s total fair value January 1..................................................... $3,100,000

b. Each identifiable asset acquired and liability assumed in a business combination is initially reported at its acquisition-date fair value.

c. In periods subsequent to acquisition, the subsidiary’s assets and liabilities are reported at their acquisition-date fair values adjusted for amortization and depreciation. Except for certain financial items, they are not continually adjusted for changing fair values.

g. If Soriano’s acquisition-date total fair value was $2,250,000, then a bargain purchase has occurred.

Collective fair values of Soriano’s net assets.................................... $2,900,000Soriano’s total fair value January 1..................................................... $2,250,000Bargain purchase.................................................................................. $ 650,000

The acquisition method requires that the subsidiary assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their acquisition date fair values regardless of the assessed fair value. Therefore, none of Soriano’s identifiable assets and liabilities would change as a result of the assessed fair value. When a bargain purchase occurs, however, no goodwill is recognized.

25. (30 Minutes) (Reporting the sale of a portion of an investment in a subsidiary.)

a. Posada records an accrual of $7,950 (see computation below) as "Equity Income from Sold Shares of Sabathia" for the January 1, 2012 to October 1, 2012 period which will appear in the 2012 consolidated income statement. The consolidation will continue to include all of Sabathia's accounts but now recognizing a 40% noncontrolling interest.

b. As long as control is maintained, the acquisition method considers transactions in the stock of a subsidiary, whether purchases or sales, as transactions in the equity of the consolidated entity.

26. (continued)b. If the initial value method had been applied, the parent would have

recorded only the dividends received as income rather than an equity accrual. Therefore, Entry *C is needed to adjust the parent's beginning retained earnings for 2011 to the equity method. During 2009 and 2010, the subsidiary earned a total net income of $171,000 but paid dividends of only $83,000. The parent's share of the difference is $61,600 (70% of $88,000 [$171,000 - $83,000]). In addition, the parent’s 70% share of excess amortization expense for two years must also be included ($8,400 = 2 years × $6,000 per year × 70%).

equity accounts on its books will already represent consolidated totals. The common stock and additional paid-in capital figures to be reported are the parent balances only. As to retained earnings, the equity method will properly record all subsidiary income and amortization so that the parent balance is also a reflection of the consolidated total.

$414,000 is still in the Investment in Sea-Breeze account. In addition, the Investment Income account is equal to 60 percent of the dividends paid by the subsidiary during the year.

c. If the equity method had been applied, the Investment Income account would show the basic equity accrual less amortization: 60% of (the subsidiary's income of $90,000 less $15,000 excess fair value amortization) = $45,000.

d. The initial value method recognizes neither the increase in the subsidiary's book value nor the excess amortization expenses for prior years. At the acquisition date, the subsidiary’s book value was $550,000 as indicated by the assets less liabilities. At the beginning of the current year, the book value of the subsidiary is $780,000 as indicated by beginning stockholders' equity balances.Increase in book value during prior years

b. Because investment income is exactly 90 percent of Barstow's reported earnings, Adams apparently is applying the partial equity method.Explanation of Consolidation Entries Found on WorksheetEntry *C—Converts Adams's financial records from the partial equity method to the equity method by recognizing amortization for 2010. Total expense was $15,000 but only 90 percent (or $13,500) applied to the parent.Entry S—Eliminates subsidiary's stockholders' equity while recording noncontrolling interest balance as of January 1, 2011.Entry A—Records unamortized allocation balances as of January 1, 2011. The acquisition method attributes 10 percent of these amounts to the non-controlling interest.Entry I—Eliminates intra-entity income accrual for 2011.Entry D—Eliminates intra-entity dividend transfers.Entry E—Records amortization expense for current year.Columnar Entry—Recognizes noncontrolling interest's share of Barstow's net income as follows:Noncontrolling Interest in Barstow's Income (Columnar Entry)Barstow reported income ............................................................... $120,000Excess amortization expenses 2011..............................................

a. According to the acquisition method, the valuation basis for a subsidiary is established on the date control is obtained, in this case January 1, 2010. Subsequent acquisitions are valued consistent with this initial value after adjusting the investment for subsidiary income and other changes.

Because subsequent acquisitions are considered as transactions in the parent’s own equity, no gains or losses are recorded. Differences in cash paid and the underlying value are recorded as adjustments to APIC.

expenses and the noncontrolling interest's share of net income)Retained earnings, 1/1/11 = $1,952,800 (the cost method is in use because

the original purchase price is still in the Investment account. Thus, the $380,000 increase in book value for the three previous years [income of $680,000 less dividends paid of $300,000] multiplied by the 80 percent ownership gives an equity accrual of $304,000. Excess amortization for these same three years totals $151,200 ($50,400× 3). Therefore, the parent's retained earnings must be increased by the net amount [$152,800 or $304,000 – $151,200])

Accounting Theory Research Case: Noncontrolling Interest

In deliberations prior to the issuance of SFAS 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements,” the FASB considered three alternatives for displaying the noncontrolling interest in the consolidated balance sheet

What were these three alternatives?1. As a liability2. As equity3. In the “mezzanine” area between liabilities and owners’ equity

What criteria did the FASB use to evaluate the desirability of each alternative?The FASB evaluated whether the classifications conformed to current definitions of financial statement elements (assets, liabilities, or equity) as articulated in FASB Concept Statement No. 6.

In what specific ways did FASB Concept Statement 6 affect the FASB’s evaluation of these alternatives?From SFAS 160 paragraphs 32-34

If it required that the noncontrolling interest be reported in the mezzanine, the Board would have had to create a new element—noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries—specifically for consolidated financial statements. The Board concluded that no compelling reason exists to create a new element specifically for consolidated financial statements to report the interests in a subsidiary held by owners other than the parent. The Board believes that using the existing elements of financial statements along with appropriate labeling and disclosure provides financial information in the consolidated financial statements that is representationally faithful, understandable, and relevant to the entity’s owners, creditors, and other resource providers.

The Board concluded that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary does not meet the definition of a liability in the Board’s conceptual framework. Paragraph 35 of Concepts Statement 6 defines liabilities as “probable future sacrifices of economic benefits arising from present obligations of a particular entity to transfer assets or provide services to other entities in the future as a result of past transactions or events”

The Board concluded that a noncontrolling interest represents the residual interest in the net assets of a subsidiary within the consolidated group held by owners other than the parent. The noncontrolling interest, therefore, meets the definition of equity in Concepts Statement 6. Paragraph 49 of Concepts Statement 6 defines equity (or net assets) as “the residual interest in the assets of an entity that remains after deducting its liabilities.”
