I am currently looking at a past paper where it says there is a rights issue from the Subsidiary (60% owned , 40% NCI) and $5 million was received through a share issue.
My problem or lack of understanding here is the NCI element of this is shown in Financing Activities as $2 million which of course I understand but I cant see the $3 million anywhere for the Group? is this because it cancels out on consolidation? im just guessing here and feeling like an idiot so any help greatly appreciated!
Yes, it is a tricky one (so don’t feel like and idiot!) as it is the subsidiary issuing the shares and not the parent. As the parent owns 60% of the subsidiary it will subscribe to its share (60%) of the share issue and as you say this amount is intra-group so is not a cash flow in to the group, so is not included within the group SCF.
