SESSION 25 CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Accountancy Tuition Centre (International Holdings) Ltd 2008 2502
1 Introduction
1.1 Income generation
The statement of comprehensive income shows the income generated by
resources (= net assets in the statement of financial position ):
The parents own statement of comprehensive income includes dividend income
from subsidiary.
The consolidated statement of comprehensive income shows the
income generated by the groups resources (= net assets in
consolidated statement of financial position ).
The consolidated statement of comprehensive income is prepared on a basis consistent
with that used in the preparation of the consolidated statement of financial position.
1.2 Control and ownership

Non-controlling interests

Profit for the period X


Commentary
This reflects the profit or loss section of the statement of comprehensive income, any other
gains or losses for the period will be included within other comprehensive income. This
session focuses on the profit or loss component of the statement of comprehensive income.
The profit or loss shows the income generated from net assets under parents control.
On consolidation, dividends from subsidiary are replaced by parents share of subsidiarys
income and expenses (100%) line-by-line, as far as profit after tax.
Reflect ownership by identifying non-controlling interests share of subsidiarys profit after
tax of the group profit after tax in profit or loss, leaving profit attributable to owners of the
parent.
Eliminate effects of transactions between group members (single entity concept).

Commentary
For example, for interest paid by subsidiary to parent, cancel interest payable in subsidiarys
profit or loss against interest receivable in parents profit or loss.
SESSION 25 CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Accountancy Tuition Centre (International Holdings) Ltd 2008 2503
2 Inter-company transactions and unrealised profit
2.1 Dividends
Dividends from subsidiary to parent are inter-company items:
Cancel parents dividend income from subsidiary against subsidiarys
dividends paid and proposed.
This leaves the non-controlling interests share of subsidiarys dividends.
Non-controlling interest in subsidiary in profit or loss is calculated on
profit after tax (before dividends), and therefore includes the non-
controlling interests share of subsidiarys dividends and retained profits.

Commentary
In short, simply ignore dividends from subsidiary on consolidation.
Dividend income in profit or loss will be dividends received from non-group
companies whilst dividends paid/payable of the parent only will be included in
the statement of changes in equity.
2.2 Inter-company items
2.2.1 Trading
Inter-company trading will be included in the revenue of one group company
and the purchases of another. Such inter-company items must be cancelled out
on consolidation (single entity concept) by taking the following steps:
add across parent and subsidiary revenue and cost of sales;
deduct value of inter-company sales from revenue and cost of sales.

Commentary
This adjustment has no effect on profit and hence will have no effect on the
non-controlling interests share of profit.
2.2.2 Unrealised profits on trading
If any items sold by one group company to another are included in inventory
(i.e. have not been sold on outside the group by the year end), their value must
be adjusted to the lower of cost and net realisable value to group (as for the
consolidated statement of financial position).
The adjustment will be made as a consolidation adjustment either against the
profits of the selling company or the profits of the parent, irrespective of the
direction of sale.

Commentary
Example 1 below looks at the impact of making the adjustment always against the parent
or always against the selling company. The example is provided for comparison
purposes; after this example all adjustments for unrealised profits will be made against
the selling company unless the question states otherwise.
SESSION 25 CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Accountancy Tuition Centre (International Holdings) Ltd 2008 2504
Steps to set up an allowance for unrealised profit:
Calculate the amount of inventory remaining at the year end.
Calculate the inter-company profit included in it.
Make an allowance against the inventory to reduce it to cost to the
group (or net realisable value if lower).
Worked example 1

Whales owns 75% of Porpoise. The trading account for each company
for the year ended 31 March 2008 is as follows:
Whales Porpoise
$ $
Revenue 120,000 70,000
Cost of sales (80,000) (50,000)

Gross profit 40,000 20,000

During the year Porpoise made sales to Whales amounting to $30,000.
$15,000 of these sales were in inventory at the year end. Profit made
on the year end inventory items amounted to $2,000.

Required:

Calculate group revenue, cost of sales and gross profit.

SESSION 25 CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
Accountancy Tuition Centre (International Holdings) Ltd 2008 2505

Commentary
This example considers the different impact that the adjustment could have on the
calculation of non-controlling interests. From this point on all adjustments should be
made against the selling entitys profits unless the question states otherwise.
Any unrealised profit in opening inventory will be deducted from cost of sales of the
original selling company, thereby reversing the originating adjustment made against
the previous years closing inventory.

Commentary
The adjustment for unrealised profit is merely a timing adjustment. The period of recognition
of profit by the group is moved to a later period than that recognised by the single entity.
2.2.3 Non-current asset transfers
The consolidated statement of comprehensive income should include depreciation of
non-current assets based on cost to group and should exclude profit/loss on non-
current asset transfers between group members. This is consistent with treatment in
the consolidated statement of financial position .
Eliminate profit or loss on transfer and adjust depreciation in full (control).
These adjustments are made in full against the consolidated figures.
Worked example 2

Parent owns 80% of subsidiary. Parent transferred a non-current asset to subsidiary
on 1 January 2007 at a value of $15,000. The asset originally cost Parent $20,000
and depreciation to the date of transfer was $8,000. The asset had a useful life of 5
years when originally acquired, with a residual value of zero. The useful life at the
date of transfer remains at 3 years. A full years depreciation charge is made in the
year of acquisition and none in the year of disposal. Total depreciation for 2007 was
$700,000 for parent and $500,000 for subsidiary.

Required:

Show the adjustments required for the above transaction in the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 31 December 2007.

Worked solution 2 As a selling company adjustment
Parent Subsidiary Adjustment Consolidated
$ $ $
Per question 700,000 500,000 1,200,000
Asset unrealised profit

Depreciation adjustment
(15,000/3 years) 4,000 (1,000) (1,000)

1,202,000


This would be part of the profit after tax of subsidiary and
would therefore be shared with the non-controlling interests

3 Entitlement of non-controlling interests
3.1 Basics
The non-controlling interests share of subsidiarys profit after tax must be
shown, leaving group profit remaining.
Activity 1

Cost of sales (60,000) (30,000)

Gross profit 40,000 20,000
Expenses (20,000) (10,000)

Profit for the period 20,000 10,000

4 Mid-year acquisitions
4.1 Inclusion of subsidiarys results
Group accounts only include subsidiary from date of acquisition, i.e.
when control is gained. If subsidiary is acquired mid-year:
Consolidate subsidiary from date of acquisition;
Identify net assets at date of acquisition for goodwill (as for
consolidated statement of financial position );
Assume revenue and expenses accrue evenly over the year (unless
contrary is indicated). Therefore time-apportion totals for revenue
and costs, then deduct inter-company items.

Since acquisition, parent has made sales to subsidiary of $15,000. None of these
goods remain in inventory at the year end.

Required:

Calculate revenue, cost of sales and gross profit for the group for the year
ending 31 December 2007.

Gross profit 30,000 11,250 41,250


4.2 Dividends from subsidiary acquired mid-year
In calculating net assets at acquisition, assume profit after tax (i.e.
before dividends) accrues evenly over year, unless contrary is indicated.
Two ways to look at the dividend:
Treat subsidiarys dividends paid post-acquisition as being paid out of post
acquisition profits first. Only treat dividends as pre-acquisition once post-
acquisition profits have been fully exhausted by dividends.
Treat the dividend as arising evenly throughout the year.
5 Treatment of goodwill
IFRS 3 rules that goodwill arising on acquisition must be capitalised and
tested annually for impairment. Any fall in value is recognised as an expense
and charged to profit or loss in the period.
Any excess of the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired over the cost
of the acquisition is credited to profit or loss immediately.

Accountancy Tuition Centre (International Holdings) Ltd 2008 2509
6 Consolidated statement of changes in equity
6.1 IAS 1
IAS 1 requires a statement of changes in equity to be included in a set of financial
statements, whether they are from a single entity perspective or that of a group.
The statement will reconcile how the equity position has changed during the period.
The consolidated statement will look at the movements from the point of the group,
but will include a reconciliation in respect the movement of non-controlling
interests share of group equity. The statement may include some of the following:
Opening balances
Cumulative effect of changes in accounting policy and prior period errors
Profit for the year
Ordinary dividends (parent plus non-controlling interests share of subsidiary)
Issue of shares
Equity component of convertible bond
Deferred tax implications (if any) to above items.

Opening non-controlling interests is calculated as 10% of the share capital and the
retained earnings at 1 April 2007 (3,000 + 1,850).

Focus
You should be able to:
prepare a consolidated statement of comprehensive income for a simple group,
including an example where an acquisition occurs during the year and there is a
non-controlling interests;
report the effects of intra-group trading and other transactions including:
unrealised profits in inventory and non-current assets;
intra-group loans and interest and other intra-group charges; and
intra-group dividends, including those paid out of pre acquisition
profits; and
prepare a consolidated statement of changes in equity.
