    Adjustment
    At date of acq subs produced a draft SOPL which showed it had nade a net loss after tax of $ 2m
    At that date .parent accepted this figure as the basis for calculating pre and post acq split of stratas profit for the year ended 31.3.2013

    We know from the extract that you have given me that there is a brought forward aggregate deficit of $(4,000)

    Parent subsidiar
    At 1.4.2012 19200 (4000)

    And we know from the note that:

    “At date of acq subs produced a draft SOPL which showed it had nade a net loss after tax of $ 2m”

    So we have a brought forward deficit of $(4,000) and a pre-acquisition period loss of a further $(2,000) and that’s where the $(6,000) comes from

    Incidentally, the $8,000 profit for the year ended 31 March, 2013 must therefore also mean that the post-acquisition profits were $10,000 …

    … that’s $(2,000) deficit pre-acquisition and $10,000 profit post acquisition giving $8,000 profit for the year

    So, in fact, $8,000 has been time-apportioned int (2) and 10

    OK?
