    Dear sir/madam,

    I am struggling with the accounting treatment of a bargain purchase when a NCI is applicable.

    Given the following information for an 80% acquisition:

    FV of the consideration 200
    Proportional NCI 60
    FV of the net assets (300)
    Bargain Purchase (40)

    In this scenario, the 40 would go directly into P&L as income instead of on the B/S as negative goodwill.

    The NCI of 60 would go under equity. Will this remain under equity, or should this also be released in P&L? I expect it to stay under equity, but I am not 100% sure…

    Hi,

    The NCI forms part of the NCI at acquisition as in any other acquisition, to which we then adjust for the NCI share of the post-acquisition movement in S’s net assets to get the NCI at the reporting date. This figure then appears within equity.

    Thanks
