Subsidiary Disposal

ASalawi sayed4y ago
Hello Mr Chris, In case of a subsidiary disposal do we have to look into the consolidated post of acquisition profit or we have to consider the subsidiary own profit statement to arrive at the disposal profit or loss. Do we have to make the adjustments for the profit figure which we have to do for the consolidated profit and also the NCI value . Thanks, like in the following question part C : 420 PITCARN The Pitcarn group owns a number of subsidiaries. On 31 March 20X6, the Pitcarn group sold its entire holding in Sitor. The consolidated statement of profit or loss of the Pitcarn group for 20X6 has been produced without the results of Sitor due to its disposal. No profit or loss on disposal has been included in the 20X6 consolidated statement of profit or loss. Extracts from the consolidated statements of profit or loss for the Pitcarn group are below: Statements of profit or loss (extracts) for the year ended 31 March 20X6 20X5 $000 $000 Revenue 86,000 99,000 Cost of sales (note (ii)) (63,400) (67,200) ––––––– ––––––– Gross profit 22,600 31,800 Other income (notes (i) and (iii)) 3,400 1,500 Operating expenses (21,300) (23,200) ––––––– ––––––– Profit from operations 4,700 10,100 Finance costs (1,500) (1,900) (iv) Sitor’s individual statement of profit or loss for the year ended shows the following: $000 Revenue 16,000 Cost of sales (10,400) ––––––– Gross profit 5,600 Operating expenses (3,200) ––––––– Profit from operations 2,400 Finance costs (900) Required: (a) Calculate the equivalent ratios for the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the year ended 31 March 20X6 if Sitor had been consolidated (7 marks) (b) Analyse the performance of the Pitcarn group for the year ended 31 March 20X6. This should also include a discussion of Sitor (8 marks) (c) Pitcarn acquired 80% of Sitor’s 10 million $1 shares on 1 April 20X1 for $17 million when Sitor had retained earnings of $3 million. Pitcarn uses the fair value method for valuing the non?controlling interest. At acquisition the fair value of the non?controlling interest was $3 million. On 31 March 20X6, Pitcarn sold its entire shareholding in Sitor for $25 million when Sitor had retained earnings of $7 million. Goodwill had suffered no impairment since acquisition. Calculate the gain/loss on disposal to be shown in the consolidated statement of profit or loss for the year ended 31 March 20X6. (5 marks) (Total: 20 marks) ? ---------------------- Answer (c) Gain/loss on disposal $000 $000 Proceeds 25,000 Net assets at disposal (10,000 share capital + 7,000 retained earnings) 17,000 Goodwill at disposal (W1) 7,000 Non?controlling interest at disposal (W2) (3,800) ––––––– (20,200) ––––––– Gain on disposal 4,800 ––––––– Workings (W1) Goodwill $000 Consideration 17,000 NCI at acquisition 3,000 Net assets at acquisition (10,000 share capital + 3,000 retained earnings) (13,000) ––––––– Goodwill at acquisition 7,000 ––––––– (W2) Non?controlling interest at disposal $000 NCI at acquisition 3,000 NCI share of Sitor’s post acquisition retained earnings (20% × (7,000 – 3,000)) 800 ––––––– Non?controlling interest at disposal 3,800 –––––––

Hi, The group profit on disposal is based on the substance of the transaction in that we have disposed of the subsidiary net assets and removed the NCI at the date that control was lost. The net assets will be at their fair value in the calculation and the NCI includes all the NCI share of S's profit (incl. adjustments) up to the date of disposal. Thanks
