Group structure changes

Hello Good day, I would like to ask if the following is treated the same way as the rest of the situations or is there a difference. Parent co. lends money to Sub co. , after a while , the sub co. converts the loan to shares. Does this have the same treatment, whereby we decrease the NCI. How exactly would this be dealt with ? Thank you

I assume this is for exam purposes - I'm not sure which exam question you have seen this in. Can you please let me know which question it is.

It wasn't specifically in a question. It came up while we were in a group discussion and someone mentioned it. Any hints on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

In group accounts Parent now owns more shares in Sub If there is a NCI it would proportionately get smaller Usually, in life, there is no NCI, so it doesn't matter
