    Hi,

    Thanks for the kind comments, they’re always appreciated and put a smile on my face.

    Could you please let me know exactly what it is with the question that you do not understand as I’m unable to go through the entire question on the forum.

    Look forward to hearing your queries.

    Thanks

    Hello Chris,

    Greetings!!

    Thanks for the reply.

    Can you help me with the contingent liability part in that is mentioned in note 2 of the question?

    I didnt understand its treatment.

    Why are we deducting (1) from the calculation of goodwill and why are we adding 5 to the retained earnings as it is still a liability?

    Regards,
    Akhil garg

    Hi,

    On consolidation we recognise the contingent liability in the group accounts at fair value and so this will reduce the net assets at acquisition.

    The change in the contingent liability is then recognised through profit or loss.

    Thanks
