Why are retained earning losses added back to subsidiary retained earnings, when calculating group retained earnings.

Hi,
This is because the losses will have reduced the retained earnings, so to work backwards from the reporting date retained earnings to get the retained earnings at the acquisition date, we need to add them back.
Thanks
