INTRODUCTION When one undertaking (the parent), has gained control of another (the subsidiary), a Consolidated Balance Sheet shows how the group as a whole relates to the outside world, and gives the shareholders in the parent an overall view of the performance of their investment. These notes describe the following possible situations under which control of a subsidiary may be obtained and show how to prepare a consolidated balance sheet at time of purchase in each case: 1. Buying all of the ordinary shares at balance-sheet value. 2. Buying all of the ordinary shares where the subsidiary has reserves. 3. Buying all of the ordinary shares at above or below balance-sheet value. 4. Buying a majority of the ordinary shares. The notes then explain the procedures to be followed and show how to prepare a consolidated balance sheet at the end of subsequent years taking into account: 5. Post-acquisition profits, inter-company dealings, unrealised profits. 6. Writing down of goodwill. All worked examples assume that the parent undertaking is X plc, and that the subsidiary is Y plc. So as not to obscure the principles involved: Worked examples and answers use a simplified balance sheet layout and many of the headings, dates and groupings required by the Companies Acts, etc. are not used. It could be appropriate, however, for students to use the detailed layout and headings covered in the section of the Advanced Higher course dealing with Final Accounts and Balance Sheets of a plc when completing questions 16 onwards and in examinations. Worked examples use relatively small numbers, not the millions which may be involved in real-life examples. 4 ACCOUNTING (ADVANCED HIGHER)
SECTION 1 CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS Where control is obtained by buying all of the ordinary shares at balance-sheet value Example 1 Summarised Balance Sheets prior to purchase X plc Y plc Bank 400 100 Other assets 800 200 1,200 300 Liabilities 200 50 1,000 250 1 Ordinary Shares 1,000 250 X then purchased all of the ordinary shares in Y for 250, paying by cheque. In the new balance sheet of X, the Bank balance goes down and this is replaced by a new asset Investment in Y plc. There is no effect on the balance sheet of Y (the money is paid directly to the shareholders, not to Y). The two balance sheets now appear as: Balance Sheets of. X plc Y plc Investment in Y plc 250 Bank 150 100 Other assets 800 200 1,200 300 Liabilities 200 50 1,000 250 1 Ordinary Shares 1,000 250 ACCOUNTING (ADVANCED HIGHER) 5
To consolidate the balance sheets, it is not simply a case of adding both sets of figures together, although this will in fact happen to many items. It is necessary first of all to eliminate any instances of the same item being included in both balance sheets. Thus the investment in Y, held as an asset by X, which is exactly the same thing as the capital of Y, does not appear in the consolidated balance sheet. Showing all three balance sheets together: X plc Y plc Consolidated Balance Sheet Investment in Y 250 Bank 150 100 Bank 250 Other assets 800 200 Other assets 1,000 1,200 300 1,250 Liabilities 200 50 Liabilities 250 1,000 250 1,000 1 Ordinary Shares 1,000 250 1 Ordinary Shares 1,000 The same principle of elimination will also apply to: existing loans between the companies trading debts between the companies It should be noted that the ordinary share capital of the subsidiary will never appear as an item in the consolidated balance sheet the ordinary share capital of the group is the same as the ordinary share capital of the parent. 6 ACCOUNTING (ADVANCED HIGHER)
Example 2 (dealing with trading debts between the companies) The following are the balance sheets of X and Y prior to purchase: X Y Bank 600 Bank 200 Debtor Y 100 Other assets 600 Other assets 1,200 800 1,900 Creditors 200 Creditors 400 Creditor X 100 1,500 500 1 Ordinary Shares 1,500 1 Ordinary Shares 500 X purchases the entire ordinary share capital of Y for 500 paying by cheque. Showing all three balance sheets together: X plc Y plc Consolidated Balance Sheet Investment in Y 500 Bank 100 200 Bank 300 Debtor Y 100 Other assets 1,200 600 Other assets 1,800 1,900 800 2,100 Creditors 400 200 Liabilities 600 Creditor X 100 1,500 1,500 500 1 Ordinary Shares 1,500 500 1 Ordinary Shares 1,500 Note that the debtor/creditor has been eliminated and does not appear in the consolidated balance sheet. A similar elimination would take place for any loans between the companies. ACCOUNTING (ADVANCED HIGHER) 7

SECTION 2 CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS Where control is obtained by buying all of the ordinary shares where the subsidiary has reserves In addition to paying for the ordinary shares, a purchaser of a company will also pay for any reserves, as these belong to the ordinary shareholders. Once the business is purchased, the new owner will own the shares and the reserves. Example 3 The following are the balance sheets of X and Y prior to purchase: X Y Bank 800 Bank 300 Other Assets 1,400 Other Assets 700 2,200 1,000 Creditors 400 Creditors 400 1,800 600 1 Ordinary Shares 1,200 1 Ordinary Shares 500 Profit and Loss 600 Profit and Loss 100 1,800 600 X purchases the entire ordinary share capital of Y for 600 by cheque. Consolidated Balance Sheet of X and Y Bank (800 600+300) 500 Other Assets 2,100 2,600 Creditors 800 1,800 1 Ordinary Shares 1,200 Consolidated Reserves* 600 1,800 Notice that the reserves of the subsidiary on consolidation are treated exactly the same as its ordinary capital i.e. they do not appear in the consolidated balance sheet. * This may simply be called profit and loss, or consolidated profit and loss. On consolidation, it has the same value as the profit and loss balance of the parent, but as these notes progress, it will be seen that in future years this will include other items. ACCOUNTING (ADVANCED HIGHER) 9
Question 1 Big plc has total assets of 4,000 and this is represented by ordinary share capital of the same value. Small plc has total assets of 400 and this is also represented by ordinary share capital of the same value. Big purchased the entire capital of Small at balance sheet value paying by cheque. Prepare the consolidated balance sheet. Question 2 Great plc had the following assets and liabilities: Bank 400 Other Assets 1,300 Liabilities 200 1 Ordinary Shares 1,500 On the same date, the balance sheet of Small plc showed the following: Bank 50 Other Assets 200 1 Ordinary Shares 250 Great purchased the entire capital of Small at balance sheet value paying by cheque. Prepare the consolidated balance sheet. 10 ACCOUNTING (ADVANCED HIGHER)
Question 3 Large plc has total assets of 40,000 (including 1,000 owing to it by Little plc). It has 5,000 of liabilities and is financed entirely by 1 ordinary shares. Little plc has total assets of 5,000 and 1,500 of liabilities. It is financed entirely by 1 ordinary shares. Large purchased the entire share capital of Little, paying by cheque. Prepare the consolidated balance sheet. Question 4 The following figures are from the summarised balance sheets of Major plc and Minor plc as at 3 May year 1. Major Minor Buildings 10,000 2,000 Equipment 20,000 1,000 Stocks 30,000 2,000 Debtors 20,000 2,000 Bank 30,000 800 Creditors 12,000 3,800 98,000 4,000 Financed by 1 Ordinary Shares 98,000 3,000 Share Premium 1,000 4,000 On the above date, Major purchased the entire capital of Minor for 4,000 paying by cheque. Included in the debtors and creditors figures is 500 owing by Minor to Major. Prepare the consolidated balance sheet as at 3 May year 1. ACCOUNTING (ADVANCED HIGHER) 11
Question 5 The following are the Balance Sheets of Town plc and Village plc as at 1 March year 1. Town Village Property 40,000 5,000 Machinery 30,000 4,000 Stocks 20,000 5,000 Debtors 30,000 8,000 Bank 30,000 1,000 Loan to Village 5,000 Creditors 20,000 5,000 Loan from Town 5,000 135,000 13,000 Financed by 1 Ordinary Shares 110,000 10,000 Profit and Loss 25,000 3,000 135,000 13,000 On the above date: Included in the debtors and creditors figures is 1,000 owing by Town to Village. On 1 March year 1, Town purchased the entire capital of Village at balance sheet value of 13,000, paying by cheque. Prepare the consolidated balance sheet at 1 March year 1. 12 ACCOUNTING (ADVANCED HIGHER)
SECTION 3 CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS Where control is obtained by buying all of the ordinary shares at above or below balance-sheet value Where the amount paid exceeds the balance-sheet value, goodwill is created. Where the amount paid is less than the balance-sheet value, goodwill with a negative value is created. Thus if the subsidiary has 10,000 1 ordinary shares and reserves of 4,000 and the business is purchased for 15,000, goodwill of 1,000 is created; if it is purchased for 12,000, negative goodwill of 2,000 is created. Example 4 The following are the Balance Sheets of X and Y prior to purchase. X Y Bank 1,000 Bank 200 Other Assets 1,400 Other Assets 600 2,400 800 Creditors 600 Creditors 300 1,800 500 1 Ordinary Shares 1,400 1 Ordinary Shares 400 Profit and Loss 400 Profit and Loss 100 1,800 500 X purchases the entire Ordinary Share Capital of Y for 550 by cheque. Goodwill is therefore valued at 50 (550 (400+100) ACCOUNTING (ADVANCED HIGHER) 13

SECTION 4 CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS Where control is obtained but not all of the ordinary shares are purchased Where more than 50%, but less than 100%, of the subsidiary s ordinary shares are purchased, it follows that some of the ordinary shares will remain in the hands of the original owners. Thus the subsidiary is not wholly owned and the consolidated balance sheet must show this. The top part of the balance sheet treats all of the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary as if they were fully owned by the parent. No attempt is made to split items such as machinery or stocks into the amount owned by the parent, and the amount owned by the other shareholders. Instead, all of these items are included at full value, since although they are not fully owned, they are fully under the control of the parent. The capital and reserves section of the balance sheet however includes a value for MINORITY INTEREST, i.e. the share of the subsidiary which the parent undertaking does not own and is therefore still owned by the other shareholders of the subsidiary. As before, the ordinary share capital and the reserves of the subsidiary do not appear in the consolidated balance sheet. ACCOUNTING (ADVANCED HIGHER) 17
Example 5 Y has 40,000 1 ordinary shares and reserves of 10,000. X purchases 30,000 shares in Y, paying 42,000 by cheque. Y has a value of 50,000 X owns 75% of Y 37,500 Minority Interest owns 25% of Y 12,500 Minority Interest appears in the financed by section of the consolidated balance sheet. It should be shown separately from the other items in this section. The price paid for the business is not relevant to the calculation of Minority Interest. Goodwill, however, will be purchase price less value of Y purchased, i.e. 42,000 less 37,500. Example 6 The following are the summarised balance sheets of X plc and Y plc prior to purchase. X Y Buildings 40,000 10,000 Equipment 25,000 20,000 Stock 15,000 6,000 Debtors 10,000 3,000 Bank 30,000 4,000 Creditors 12,000 3,000 108,000 40,000 1 Ordinary Shares 100,000 36,000 Profit and Loss 8,000 4,000 108,000 40,000 X purchased 60% of the ordinary shares of Y for 29,000 paying by cheque. X owns 60% of 40,000 = 24,000 Minority Interest owns 40% of 40,000 = 16,000 Y paid 29,000 for its share of 24,000 therefore goodwill is 5,000. 18 ACCOUNTING (ADVANCED HIGHER)

SECTION 5 CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS Preparing consolidated balance sheets at a date after purchase So far, the consolidated balance sheet has been drawn up immediately upon the purchase being made. However the situation is ongoing, and it will be necessary to prepare a consolidated balance sheet at the end of each financial year. Goodwill will still be calculated at time of purchase and included in the balance sheet at these values. (See later regarding the writing down of goodwill.) However, there are three new considerations. (i) Post-acquisition profits Any profits made by the subsidiary company after purchase must be shared between the parent and minority interest. This profit will be found by comparing the reserves (profit and loss balances) of the subsidiary at the date of consolidation and at the end of the year in question. Any increase will be treated as a profit, part of which will be added to the consolidated reserves, and part added to the minority interest. This profit is known as POST-ACQUISITION PROFITS and will be shared out in proportion to ordinary share ownership. ACCOUNTING (ADVANCED HIGHER) 21
Example 7 On 30 September year 1, Y plc has 1,000 1 ordinary shares and a profit and loss balance of 400. On that date X purchases 60% of these shares for 900. On 31 December of that year, the balance sheet of Y shows a profit and loss balance of 500. On purchase goodwill is valued: Price paid 900 Value taken over (60% of 1,400) 840 Goodwill 60 On purchase minority interest may be calculated: Value of Y 1,400 Value taken over 840 Minority interest (i.e. 40% of 1,400) 560 On preparing consolidated balance sheet at year end: Reserves at purchase 400 Reserves at balance sheet date 500 Post-acquisition profits 100 Which are shared by adding to: Consolidated reserves 60 Minority interest 40 Minority Interest therefore equals 600 (560+40) In most examples it will not be necessary to find minority interest in this way. It can be found simply by taking the closing balance sheet of the subsidiary and applying the minority interest percentage to the total of ordinary capital plus reserves at that date. In the above example: Ordinary shares 1,000 Reserves at end of year 500 1,500 40% of 1,500 = 600 22 ACCOUNTING (ADVANCED HIGHER)
You should now be aware of the different treatments applied to the reserves of a subsidiary. Any reserves which are in existence at the time of consolidation are included in the initial calculation of goodwill and of minority interest. Changes in the profit and loss balance over the years are included in the calculation of consolidated reserves and of minority interest. In neither case do the reserves appear as separate items in the consolidated balance sheet. Question 9 Complete the table below for each of the four illustrations. DATA (i) (ii) (ii) (iv) At date of purchase 1 Ordinary Shares in subsidiary 5,000 10,000 25,000 50,000 Reserves in subsidiary 1,000 2,000 5,000 5,000 Number of ordinary shares purchased 4,000 7,500 22,500 30,000 Price paid 5,500 9,000 26,000 37,000 Goodwill At year end Reserves in subsidiary 1,500 3,000 6,000 4,000 Total post-acquisition profits Value added to consolidated reserves Value added to minority interest Final Minority Interest* * Remember that this can be calculated in 2 ways: Minority Interest at time of purchase plus amount added since purchase, or Minority Interest % multiplied by value of subsidiary ordinary shares plus reserves at end ACCOUNTING (ADVANCED HIGHER) 23
(ii) Unrealised profits It is an established accounting principle that profit is recognised at point of sale. Assume X buys goods for 100 and sells them to Y for 150. This gives X a profit of 50. If, however, the goods have not yet been sold by Y, from the point of view of the group no goods have actually been sold and therefore no profit has yet been made by the group. There is also a difference in stock valuation. The goods will have been entered into the books of Y at a cost price of 150, but as far as the group is concerned the cost price is only 100. Therefore, looking at the individual accounts of the two companies results in a profit of 50 and a closing stock of 150, whereas from the group perspective there is no profit and the closing stock is worth only 100. Profits generated in this way are referred to as unrealised profits and this must be taken into account when preparing the consolidated balance sheet. It might be worthwhile to recap on paragraph 1, page 4 of these notes, which said: When one company (the parent), gains control of another (the subsidiary), a Consolidated Balance Sheet shows how the group as a whole relates to the outside world. It follows then that the group figures, and not the individual company ones, must be shown in the consolidated balance sheet Where goods have been traded between the two companies, when preparing a consolidated balance sheet, any unrealised profits on these goods must be deducted from consolidated reserves and consolidated stocks 24 ACCOUNTING (ADVANCED HIGHER)
A more likely situation is where X has sold goods to Y and at balance sheet date some of them have been sold on. It is then necessary to calculate the amount of over-recorded profit on the ones that have NOT yet been sold. Example 8 X purchases goods at a cost of 1,000. These are sold to Y for 1,500. At balance sheet date, Y has sold 60% of these goods for 1,200. PROFITS SHOWN BY INDIVIDUAL COMPANIES X will record: Sales 1,500 Purchases 1,000 Profit 500 Y will record: Sales 1,200 Purchases 1500 Less stock 600 900 Profit 300 Total profit 800 PROFITS SHOWN BY GROUP AS A WHOLE Goods costing 600 have been sold for 1,200 = total profit 600 Therefore on consolidation, profit is over-recorded by 200. From the perspective of the group, the closing stock ought to be valued at cost to the group, i.e. 400, not 600. Therefore, on consolidation, closing stock is over-recorded by 200. ACCOUNTING (ADVANCED HIGHER) 25
Method: It is not necessary to go through the above process, simply: Calculate profit made by X as if all goods were sold. 500 Apply percentage unsold by Y to this figure. 40% Reduce profits and closing stock by answer. 200 Beware: The selling price and any profit made by Y is not relevant this profit has been made and does not require to be adjusted. Questions may give you the amount sold, or the amount unsold. Question 10 (a) Calculate the adjustment required to consolidated profits and closing stock in each of the following four cases: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv) Cost of goods produced by X 100 200 400 500 Price charged to Y 200 300 600 650 % sold by Y 40% 60% 80% 30% Reduction required in recorded profit Reduction required in stocks (b) At the end of the financial year stocks held by Peter plc and Paul plc were 40,000 and 20,000 respectively and consolidated reserves amounted to 75,000. However, towards the end of the year goods costing 6,000 were sold by Peter to Paul at a mark-up of 25%. At the end of the year 30% of these goods were unsold. Calculate the figures to appear in the year-end balance sheet for (i) (ii) consolidated reserves closing stock 26 ACCOUNTING (ADVANCED HIGHER)
(c) At the end of the financial year stocks held by Grand and Petit were 10,000 and 3,000 respectively. However 1,000 units of brand Z had been produced by Grand at a cost of 60p per unit and sold to Petit at a price of 80p per unit. To date, Petit had sold 700 of these for 1.10 each. (i) (ii) Calculate the profit recorded by Grand Petit Group (and show unrealised profit) Calculate the value of the group closing stock. ACCOUNTING (ADVANCED HIGHER) 27
(iii) Current accounts Adjustment must be made for any funds in transfer between the companies. In some cases, the two companies operate CURRENT or TRANSFER ACCOUNTS which record transactions between them. Any payments made just before balance sheet date are likely to be recorded in the current account of the paying company, but not yet in the account of the receiving one. To prepare the consolidated balance sheet, assume that any payments recorded by one company have been received by the other. Example 9 On 28 December Y owes X 500 this is recorded in current accounts in both companies. If balance sheets were to be prepared on that date, Y would have a current liability, X a current asset, and nothing would appear in the consolidated balance sheet. If, however, Y then repays X 200, the transaction would immediately affect the bank and current account in the books of Y, but would probably not reach X by the year end. Extract from balance sheets: Before repayment After repayment X Y X Y Bank 4,000 800 4,000 600 Current (asset) 500 500 Current (liability) 500 300 To consolidate, it is necessary to eliminate the current accounts and adjust the total bank balance. Thus the consolidated balance sheet will show only the bank figure of 4,800 (not 4,600). The missing 200 belongs to the group it has to be included in its balance sheet. 28 ACCOUNTING (ADVANCED HIGHER)
Question 11 On 1 July year 1, the balance sheet of Valley plc contained the following: Debtors 5,000 Stocks 4,000 Debentures 10,000 1 Ordinary Shares 30,000 Profit and Loss 6,000 (a) If, on the above date, ordinary shares in Valley were purchased by Glen plc, calculate the goodwill (if any) in each of the following possible situations: (i) 20,000 1 shares were purchased for 25,000 (ii) 22,500 1 shares were purchased for 30,000 (iii) 18,000 1 shares were purchased for 23,000 (iv) 5,000 1 shares were purchased for 7,000 (b) (c) Calculate the value of the minority interest in each of the above situations. During years 4 to 6 goods were sold by Glen to Valley. Calculate the adjustment required to consolidated profits in each of the following possible situations: (i) Year 4 Goods costing 3,000 were sold for 5,000 and 80% of these are unsold by Valley (ii) Year 5 Goods costing 2,000 were sold at a mark-up of 25% and 60% of these are unsold by Valley (iii) Year 6 Goods costing 4,200 were sold at a gross profit of 25% on sales.

Question 12 On 1 September year 1, the balance sheet of Foggie plc contained 40,000 1 ordinary shares and a profit and loss balance of 10,000. When Turra plc gained control of Foggie plc on the above date, goodwill was calculated to be 5,000. (a) Calculate the purchase price in each of the following possible situations: (i) (ii) (iii) 25,000 ordinary shares were purchased 30,000 ordinary shares were purchased 35,000 ordinary shares were purchased (b) (c) If on 31 December year 2, the profit and loss balance of Foggie was 12,000, calculate the minority interest in each of the above situations. Turra manufactures products at a cost of 2 per unit. During year 4, 5,000 units were sold to Foggie: Calculate the unrealised profits under each of the following possible arrangements: (i) (ii) (iii) Mark-up on cost was 20%, 3,000 units were sold by Foggie. Selling price to Foggie was 3, and these were then resold to customers for 5. 800 units were unsold. Goods were sold at a price to allow Turra a gross profit ratio of 50%. Foggie has 2,500 units in stock.

SECTION 6 CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS Writing off goodwill FRS 10 states that positive purchased goodwill should be capitalised and, unless it has an indefinite life, it should be amortised over its useful life by the straight-line method. The consequence of this is that the value of goodwill calculated on purchase will gradually be reduced over a number of years. The balancing entry will be to reduce consolidated reserves by a similar amount. Thus, if goodwill on consolidation is calculated to be 3,000 and this is to be amortised over 10 years, 300 will be deducted from the goodwill figure and from consolidated reserves each year. In the first year, depending upon the date of acquisition and company policy, a full year s charge may be made, or a proportion or none at all. The answer to question 15 should have included: Goodwill 540 Consolidated Reserves 5,165 If the figures had related to year 3, and goodwill had to be written down by a full 10% each for each of the 3 years, the balance sheet would then have shown: Goodwill 378 i.e. down 3 times 54 Consolidated Reserves 5,003 i.e. down 3 times 54 ACCOUNTING (ADVANCED HIGHER) 37
Summary In any consolidation question you are likely to be required to do the following: 1. Calculate GOODWILL at time of purchase, i.e. purchase price less (percentage of ordinary shares purchased times subsidiary s ordinary shares and reserves). 2. ELIMINATE common items, e.g. investment held by parent and ordinary shares and reserves of subsidiary, current or transfer accounts, loans. 3. Calculate POST-ACQUISITION PROFITS increase in subsidiary s reserves since purchase has to be shared and relevant amount added to consolidated reserves (and depending upon method used, also added to minority interest if already calculated). 4. Calculate UNREALISED PROFITS profits on unsold goods deducted from consolidated reserves and stock values. 5. Write down GOODWILL based on straight-line method also reduce consolidated reserves. 6. Calculate CONSOLIDATED RESERVES taking into account the above changes. 7. Calculate MINORITY INTEREST i.e. relevant percentage of ordinary shares and reserves in subsidiary s balance sheet. 8. Complete CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET. 38 ACCOUNTING (ADVANCED HIGHER)
Question 16 On 1 January year 1 Tay plc purchased 9,000 1 ordinary shares in Don plc for a total of 14,200. On that date the reserves of Don included a profit and loss of 2,800.
