1 CONCEPT OF GROUP, HOLDING COMPANY AND

SUBSIDIARY COMPANY
It is an era of business growth. Many organizations are growing into large
corporations by the process of acquisition, mergers, gaining control by one
company over the other company, restructuring etc. Acquisition and mergers
ultimately lead to either cost reduction or controlling the market or sharing the
material supplies or product diversification or availing tax benefits or synergy.
Whatever the motto behind these ventures is, the ultimate result is the large scale
corporation. Formation of holding company is the most popular device for
achieving these objectives.
Group of companies Many a times, company expands by keeping intact their
separate corporate identity. In this situation, a company (holding company) gains
control over the other company (subsidiary company). This control is exercised by
one company over the other by-

CONSOLIDATED OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 14.3
1. Purchasing specified number of shares i.e. ownership through voting power

of that company or
2. Exercising control over the board of directors.
The companies connected in these ways are collectively called as a Group of
Companies.
Holding Company and Subsidiary Company have also been defined in Section 2
of the Companies Act, 2013.
Holding company
As per Section 2(46) of the Companies Act, 2013,
“Holding company”, in relation to one or more other companies, means a
company of which such companies are subsidiary companies.
It may be defined as one, which has one or more subsidiary companies and
enjoys control over them. Legally a holding company and its subsidiaries are
distinct and separate entities. However, in substance holding and subsidiary
companies work as a group. Accordingly, users of holding company’s accounts
need financial information of subsidiaries also to understand the performance
and financial position of the group (i.e. holding company and subsidiaries on a
combined basis).
Subsidiary Company
Section 2(87) of the Companies Act, 2013 defines “subsidiary company” as a
company in which the holding company -
(i) controls the composition of the Board of Directors; or
(ii) exercises or controls more than one-half of the total share capital either at its
own or together with one or more of its subsidiary companies:
A company shall be deemed to be a subsidiary company of the holding company
even if there is indirect control through the subsidiary company (ies).
The control over the composition of a subsidiary company’s Board of Directors
means exercise of some power to appoint or remove all or a majority of the
directors of the subsidiary company.
Total share capital, as mentioned in section 2(87) (ii) above, has been further
clarified by the Rule 2(1)(r) of the Companies (Specification of Definitions Details)
Rules, 2016. As per the Rule, total share capital includes
(a) paid up equity share capital; and

(b) convertible preference share capital.

Section 19 of the Companies Act, 2013 prohibits a subsidiary company from
holding shares in the holding company. According to this section, no company
shall, either by itself or through its nominees, hold any shares in its holding
company and no holding company shall allot or transfer its shares to any of its
subsidiary companies and any such allotment or transfer of shares of a company
to its subsidiary company shall be void.
However, a subsidiary may continue to be a member of its holding company
when
(a) the subsidiary company holds such shares as the legal representative of a
deceased member of the holding company; or
(b) the subsidiary company holds such shares as a trustee; or
(c) the subsidiary company is a shareholder even before it became a subsidiary
company of the holding company.
The subsidiary company shall have a right to vote at a meeting of the holding
company only in respect of the shares held by it as a legal representative or as a
trustee, as mentioned above in point (a) and (c).
2 WHOLLY OWNED AND PARTLY OWNED SUBSIDIARIES
S.No. Wholly owned subsidiary company Partly owned subsidiary company

1. A wholly owned subsidiary In a partly owned subsidiary, all
company is one in which all the the shares of subsidiary company
shares are owned by the holding are not acquired by the holding
company. company i.e. only the majority of
shares (i.e., more than 50%) are
owned by the holding company.
2. 100% voting rights are vested by Voting rights of more than 50%
the holding company. but less than 100% are vested by
the holding company.
3. There is no minority interest There is a minority interest
because all the shares with voting because less than 50% shares with
rights are held by the holding voting rights are held by outsiders
company. other than the holding company.

3 PURPOSE OF PREPARING THE CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Section 129 (Clause 3) of the Companies Act, 2013 mandated the companies
having one or more subsidiaries, to prepare Consolidated Financial Statements.
According to this section, where a company has one or more subsidiaries, it shall,
in addition to separate financial statements will prepare a consolidated financial
statement of the company and of all the subsidiaries in the same form and
manner as that of its own.
It shall also attach along with its financial statements, a separate statement
containing the salient features of the financial statement of its subsidiary or
subsidiaries in the prescribed form.
For the purpose of section 129, ‘subsidiary’ includes ‘Associate company’ and
‘Joint venture’ which means that the company would be required to prepare
consolidated financial statements including associate/ joint venture even if there
is no subsidiary of a company.
Consolidated financial statements are the financial statements of a ‘group’
presented as those of a single enterprise, where a ‘group’ refers to a parent and
all its subsidiaries. Parent company needs to inform the users about the financial
position and results of operations of not only of their enterprise itself but also of
the group as a whole. For this purpose, consolidated financial statements are
prepared and presented by a parent/holding enterprise to provide financial
information about a parent and its subsidiary(ies) as a single economic entity.
Consolidated Financial Statements are intended to show the financial position of
the group as a whole - by showing the economic resources controlled by them,
by presenting the obligations of the group and the results the group achieves
with its resources.
Where a company is required to prepare Consolidated Financial Statements, the
company shall mutatis mutandis follow the requirements of the Schedule III as
applicable to a company in the preparation of consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standard (AS) 21 also lays down the accounting principles and
procedures for preparation and presentation of consolidated financial statements.

4 EXCLUSION FROM PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
As per AS 21, a subsidiary should be excluded from consolidation when:
(a) control is intended to be temporary because the subsidiary is acquired and
held exclusively with a view to its subsequent disposal in the near future; or
(b) it operates under severe long-term restrictions which significantly impair its
ability to transfer funds to the parent.
In consolidated financial statements, investments in such subsidiaries should be
accounted for in accordance with AS 13 ‘Accounting for Investments’. The reasons
for not consolidating a subsidiary should be disclosed in the consolidated
financial statements.
However, if the relevant investment is acquired without an intention to its
subsequent disposal in near future, and subsequently, it is decided to dispose off
the investments, such an investment is not excluded from consolidation, until the
investment is actually disposed off.
Conversely, if the relevant investment is acquired with an intention to its
subsequent disposal in near future, but, due to some valid reasons, it could not
be disposed off within that period, the same will continue to be excluded from
consolidation, provided there is no change in the intention.
Exclusion of a subsidiary from consolidation on the ground that its business
activities are dissimilar from those of the other enterprises within the group is not
justified because better information is provided by consolidating such subsidiaries
and disclosing additional information in the consolidated financial statements
about the different business activities of subsidiaries. For example, the
disclosures required by AS 17 ‘Segment Reporting’, help to explain the
significance of different business activities within the group.

The main advantages of consolidation are given below:

(i) Single Source Document: From the consolidated financial statements, the
users of accounts can get an overall picture of the holding company and its
subsidiaries. Consolidated Profit and Loss Account gives the overall
profitability of the group.
(ii) Intrinsic value of share: Intrinsic share value of the holding company can be
calculated directly from the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
(iii) Acquisition of Subsidiary: The Minority Interest data of the Consolidated
Financial Statement indicates the amount payable to the outside shareholders
of the subsidiary company at book value which is used as the starting point
of bargaining at the time of acquisition of a subsidiary by the holding
company.
(iv) Evaluation of Holding Company in the market: The overall financial health
of the holding company can be judged using Consolidated Financial
Statements. Those who want to invest in the shares of the holding company
or acquire it, need such consolidated statement for evaluation.

6. COMPONENTS OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL

STATEMENTS
Accounting Standard 21, ‘Consolidated Financial Statements’ should be applied in
the preparation and presentation of consolidated financial statements for a group
of enterprises under the control of a parent. As per AS 21, consolidated financial
statements normally include Consolidated Balance Sheet; Consolidated Statement
of Profit and Loss Account; Consolidated Cash Flow Statement (in case parent
presents cash flow statement) and Notes and statements and explanatory
schedules that form the integral part thereof.
consolidated financial statements
Consolidated Balance Sheet
Consolidated Statement of
Profit and Loss Account
Consolidated Cash Flow

Statement (in case parent
presents cash flow statement)
Notes and statements and

explanatory schedules
 The consolidated financial statements are presented to the extent possible in

the same format as that adopted by the parent for its separate financial
statements.
All the notes appearing in the separate financial statements of the parent
enterprise and its subsidiaries need not be included in the notes to the
consolidated financial statement. For preparing consolidated financial
statements, the following principles may be observed in respect of notes and
other explanatory material that form an integral part thereof:
(a) Notes which are necessary for presenting a true and fair view of the
consolidated financial statements are included in the consolidated financial
statements as an integral part thereof.
(b) Only the notes involving items which are material need to be disclosed.

Materiality for this purpose is assessed in relation to the information

contained in consolidated financial statements. In view of this, it is possible
that certain notes which are disclosed in separate financial statements of a
parent or a subsidiary would not be required to be disclosed in the
consolidated financial statements when the test of materiality is applied in
the context of consolidated financial statements.
(c) Additional statutory information disclosed in separate financial statements of
the subsidiary and/or a parent having no bearing on the true and fair view of
the consolidated financial statements need not be disclosed in the
consolidated financial statements.
In addition, the consolidated financial statements shall disclose the information as
per the requirements specified in the applicable Accounting Standards including
the following:
(i) Profit or loss attributable to “minority interest” and to owners of the parent in
the statement of profit and loss shall be presented as allocation for the period.
(ii) “Minority interests” in the balance sheet within equity shall be presented
separately from the equity of the owners of the parent.
Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013 contains the ‘General Instructions for
Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements’. Students are advised to refer
the same from Schedule III to the Companies Act, 2013.
7. CONSOLIDATION PROCEDURES
Rule 6 of the Companies (Accounts) Rules, 2014 states that the manner of
consolidation of financial statements of the company shall be in accordance with
the provisions of Schedule III of the Act and the applicable accounting standards.
AS 21, lays down the procedure for consolidation of financial statements of the
companies within the group.
When preparing consolidated financial statements, the individual balances of the
parent and its subsidiaries are combined or consolidated on a line-by-line basis,
and then certain consolidation adjustments are made.
For example, the cash, trade receivables and prepayments of the parent and each
subsidiary are added together to arrive at the cash, trade receivables and
prepayments of the group, before consolidation adjustments are made.
The objective is that the consolidated financial statements should present the
information contained in the consolidated financial statements of a parent and its

subsidiaries as if they were the financial statements of a single economic entity.

The various steps involved in the consolidation process are as follows:
1. the carrying amount of the parent’s investment in each subsidiary and the
parent’s portion of equity of each subsidiary are eliminated. In case cost of
acquisition exceeds or is less than the acquirer’s interest, goodwill or capital
reserve is calculated retrospectively.
2. intragroup transactions, including sales, expenses and dividends, are
eliminated, in full;
3. unrealised profits resulting from intragroup transactions that are included in
the carrying amount of assets, such as inventory and fixed assets, are
eliminated in full;
4. unrealised losses resulting from intragroup transactions that are deducted in
arriving at the carrying amount of assets are also eliminated unless cost
cannot be recovered;
5. minority interest in the net income of consolidated subsidiaries for the
reporting period are identified and adjusted against the income of the group
in order to arrive at the net income attributable to the owners of the parent;
and
6. minority interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries are identified
and presented in the consolidated balance sheet separately from liabilities
and the parent shareholders’ equity.
8. CALCULATION OF GOODWILL/CAPITAL RESERVE (COST

OF CONTROL)
As on the date of investment, the cost of investment and the equity in the
subsidiary needs to be calculated. AS 21 defines equity as the ‘residual interest in
the assets of an enterprise after deducting all its liabilities.’ In other words, it is
equal to the net worth of the enterprise.
Once the above is calculated, goodwill or capital reserve is calculated as under:
Goodwill = Cost of Investment - Parent’s share in the equity of the subsidiary on
date of investment
Capital Reserve = Parent’s share in the equity of the subsidiary on date of
investment – Cost of investment

The parent’s portion of equity in a subsidiary, at the date on which investment is

made, is determined on the basis of information contained in the financial
statements of the subsidiary as on the date of investment.
However, if the financial statements of a subsidiary as on the date of investment
are not available and if it is impracticable to draw the financial statements of the
subsidiary as on that date, financial statements of the subsidiary for the
immediately preceding period are used as a basis for consolidation.
Adjustments are made to these financial statements for the effects of significant
transactions or other events that occur between the date of such financial
statements and the date of investment in the subsidiary.
It may be mentioned that positive or negative differential is separately recognised
only in purchase method. This differential calculated as cost of control is shown in
the consolidated balance sheet.
Example:
1. H Ltd. acquires 70% of the equity shares of S Ltd. on 1.1.2017. On that date,
paid up capital of S Ltd. was 10,000 equity shares of ` 10 each; accumulated
reserve balance was ` 1,00,000. H Ltd. paid ` 1,60,000 to acquire 70% interest
in the S Ltd. Assets of S Ltd. were revalued on 1.1.2017 and a revaluation loss
of ` 20,000 was ascertained. The book value of shares of S Ltd. is calculated
as shown below:
`
70% of the Equity Share Capital ` 1,00,000 70,000
70% of Accumulated Reserve ` 1,00,000 70,000
70% of Revaluation Loss ` 20,000 (14,000)
1,26,000
So, H Ltd. paid a positive differential of ` 34,000 i.e. ` (1,60,000 – 1,26,000).

This differential is called goodwill and is shown in the balance sheet under
the head intangibles.
2. A Ltd. acquired 70% interest in B Ltd. on 1.1.2017. On that date, B Ltd. had
paid-up capital of `1,00,000 consisting of 10,000 equity shares of ` 10 each
and accumulated balance in reserve and surplus of ` 1,00,000. On that date,
assets and liabilities of B Ltd. were also revalued and revaluation profit of
` 20,000 was calculated. A Ltd. paid ` 1,30,000 to purchase the said interest.

In this case, the book value of Shares of B Ltd. is calculated as shown below:
`
70% of the Equity Share Capital `1,00,000 70,000
70% of Reserves and Surplus ` 1,00,000 70,000
70% of Revaluation Profit ` 20,000 14,000
1,54,000
In this case, H Ltd. enjoyed negative differential of `24,000 i.e. (1,54,000 –

1,30,000) which is called as presented as capital reserve.

Variety Ltd. holds 46% of the paid-up share capital of VR Ltd. The shares were
acquired at a market price of ` 17 per share. The balance of shares of VR Ltd. are
held by a foreign collaborating company. A memorandum of understanding has
been entered into with the foreign company providing for the following:
(a) The shares held by the foreign company will be sold to Variety Ltd. The price
per share will be calculated by capitalising the yield at 15%. Yield, for this
purpose, would mean 40% of the average of pre-tax profits for the last 3 years,
which were ` 30 lakhs, ` 40 lakhs and ` 65 lakhs.
(b) The actual cost of the shares to the foreign company was ` 5,40,000 only. The
profit that would accrue to them would be taxable at an average rate of 30%.
The tax payable will be deducted from the proceeds and Variety Ltd. will pay it
to the Government.
(c) Out of the net consideration, 50% would be remitted to the foreign company
immediately and the balance will be an unsecured loan repayable after two years.

The above agreement was approved by all concerned for being given effect to on
1.4.2017. The total assets of VR Ltd. as on 31.3.2017 was ` 1,00,00,000. It was
decided to write down fixed assets by ` 1,75,000. Current liabilities of VR Ltd. as on
the same date were ` 20,00,000. The paid-up share capital of VR Ltd. was
` 20,00,000 divided into 2,00,000 equity shares of ` 10 each.

9. MINORITY INTERESTS
Minority interest is that part of the net results of operations and of net assets of a
subsidiary attributable to interests which are not owned, directly or indirectly
through subsidiaries, by the holding (parent) company.
In short, minority interest represents the claims of the outside shareholders of a
subsidiary. Minority interests in the net income of consolidated subsidiaries for
the reporting period are identified and adjusted against the income of the group
in order to arrive at the net income attributable to the shareholders of the
holding company.
Minority interest in the income of the group should be separately presented.
The losses applicable to the minority in a consolidated subsidiary may exceed the
minority interest in the equity of the subsidiary. The excess, and any further losses
applicable to the minority, are adjusted against the majority interest except to the
extent that the minority has a binding obligation to, and is able to make good the
losses. If the subsidiary subsequently reports profit, all such profits are allocated
to the majority interest until the minority’s share of losses previously absorbed by
the majority has been recovered.
As per para 13(e) of AS 21, minority interests in the net assets of consolidated
subsidiaries should be identified and presented in the consolidated balance sheet
separately from liabilities and the equity of the parent’s shareholders. Minority
interests in the net assets consist of:
(i) the amount of equity attributable to minorities at the date on which
investment in a subsidiary is made; and
(ii) the minorities share of movements in equity since the date the parent-
subsidiary relationship came in existence.
10. PROFIT OR LOSS OF SUBSIDIARY COMPANY


extent that the minority has a binding obligation to, and is able to, make good
the losses. If the subsidiary subsequently reports profits, all such profits are
allocated to the majority interest until the minority’s share of losses previously
absorbed by the majority has been recovered.
For the purpose of consolidated balance sheet preparation, all reserves and
profits (or losses) of subsidiary company should be classified into pre and post-
acquisition reserves and profits (or losses).
Profits (or losses) earned (or incurred) by subsidiary company upto the date of
acquisition of the shares by the holding company are pre acquisition or capital
profits (or loss).
Similarly, all reserves of subsidiary company upto the date of acquisition are capital
reserves from the view point of holding company. If the holding interest in subsidiary
is acquired during the middle or some other period of the current year, pre-
acquisition profit should be calculated accordingly.
The minority interest in the reserves and profits (or losses) of subsidiary company
should be transferred to minority interest account which will also include share
capital of subsidiary company held by outsiders / minority shareholders.
Minority Interest
= Share Capital of subsidiary related to outsiders + Minority interest in
reserves and profits of subsidiary company
The holding company’s interest in the pre-acquisition reserves and profits (or
losses) should be adjusted against cost of control to find out goodwill or capital
reserve on consolidation. The reserves and profits (or loss) of subsidiary company,
representing holding company’s interest in post-acquisition or revenue reserves
and profits (or losses), should be added to the reserves and profits (or losses) of
holding company.

when B Ltd. had an equity share capital of ` 10,00,000 and reserves and surplus of
` 80,000. In the four consecutive years, B Ltd. fared badly and suffered losses of
` 2,50,000, ` 4,00,000, ` 5,00,000 and ` 1,20,000 respectively. Thereafter in 2014-

11. REVALUATION OF ASSETS OF SUBSIDIARY COMPANY

Profit or loss on revaluation of fixed assets of subsidiary should also be treated as
capital profit or loss. But if the fall in the value of the asset occurs after the date
of acquisition, the loss should be treated as revenue loss. Adjustment for
depreciation would be made in the profit and loss account of the subsidiary.
Depreciation on changed value of the assets shall be given effect to. Depreciation
on revalued assets will be taken as capital or revenue depending on the period
for which the depreciation belongs to.
12. DIVIDEND RECEIVED FROM SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES

The holding company, when it receives a dividend from a subsidiary company,
must distinguish between the part received out of capital profits and that out of
revenue profits - the former is credited to Investment Account, it being a capital

receipt, and the later is adjusted as revenue income for being credited to the
Profit & Loss Account. It must be understood that the term ‘capital profit’, in this
context, apart from the generic meaning of the term, connotes profit earned by
the subsidiary company till the date of acquisition. As a result, profits which may
be of revenue nature for the subsidiary company may be capital profits so far as
the holding company is concerned. If the controlling interest was acquired during
the course of a year, profit for that year must be apportioned into the pre-
acquisition and post-acquisition portions, on the basis of time in the absence of
information on the point.

H Ltd. acquired 3,000 shares in S Ltd., at a cost of `4,80,000 on 1.7.2016. The
capital of S Ltd. consisted of 5,000 shares of ` 100 each fully paid. The Profit & Loss
Account of this company for 2016 showed an opening balance of `1,25,000 and
profit for the year was ` 3,00,000. At the end of the year, it declared a dividend of
40%. Record the entry in the books of H Ltd., in respect of the dividend.
Assume calendar year as financial year.
Solution
The profits of S Ltd., have to be divided between capital and revenue profits from
the point of view of the holding company:
Capital Profit Revenue Profit

` `
Balance on 1.1.2016 1,25,000 —
Profit for 2016 (3,00,000 × 1,75,000 (3,00,000 × 5/12) 1,25,000
7/12)
Total 3,00,000 1,25,000
Proportionate share of H Ltd. 1,80,000 75,000
(3/5)
Total dividend declared = ` 5,00,000 X 40 % = ` 2,00,000
H Ltd’s share in the dividend = ` 2,00,000 X 3/5 = ` 1,20,000
The treatment of the dividend of `1,20,000 received by H Ltd., will depend on the
character of profits which have been utilised by S Ltd., to pay the dividend. There
are four possibilities:
(1) Earlier profits, included in the profit brought forward from the previous year
have been used up first. In that case, the dividend of `1,20,000 would be paid
wholly out of capital or pre-acquisition profits. The entry in that case will be:
` `
Bank Account Dr. 1,20,000
To Investment Account 1,20,000
(2) The profit for 2016 alone has been utilised to pay the dividend, and no part
of the profit brought forward has been utilised for the purpose. The share of
H Ltd., in profit for the first seven months of S Ltd., is ` 1,05,000 i.e. ` 1,75,000

× 3/5 and that the profit for the remaining five months is ` 75,000 i.e.
` 1,25,000 × 3/5. The dividend of ` 1,20,000 will be adjusted in this ratio:
` 70,000 out of profits up to 1.7.2016 and ` 50,000 out of profits after that
date. The dividend out of profits subsequent to 1.7.2016 will be revenue
income and that out of earlier profits will be capital receipt. Hence the entry
will be:
` `
Bank Dr. 1,20,000
To Investment Account 70,000
To Profit and Loss Account 50,000
(3) Later profits have been utilised first and then pre- acquisition profits. In such a
case, the whole of ` 75,000 (share of H Ltd. in profits of S Ltd., after 1.7.2016)
would be received and treated as revenue income; the remaining dividend,
` 45,000 (`1,20,000 less ` 75,000) would be capital receipt. The entry would
be:
` `
Bank Dr. 1,20,000
To Profit & Loss Account 75,000
(4) The two profits, pre-and post-acquisition, have been used up proportionally.
The ratio would be `1,80,000:75,000; 1,20,000 × 75,000 = 35,294 would be
2,55,000
revenue receipt and the remaining amount i.e. 84,706 would be capital. The
entry would be:
` `
Bank Dr. 1,20,000
To Profit & Loss Account 35,294
Notes:
(1) Points (3) and (4) above can arise only if there is definite information about
the profits utilised; in practise such treatment is rare.
(2) The treatment outlined above infact is not peculiar to holding companies.

Dividends received out of profits earned before purchase of investments

normally also are credited to the Investment Account. For instance, if shares
in X Ltd., are purchased in January 2016 and in April 2016, X Ltd., declares a
dividend in respect of 2015, the dividend received by the holder of the shares
correctly should not be treated as income but as capital receipt and credited
to Investment Account.
(3) The holding company, like other holders, record no entry on issue of bonus
shares by the subsidiary company; only the number of shares held is
increased.

(1) Minority interest at the date of acquisition and at the date of consolidation.

the Profit & Loss Account was ` 60,000.
During the year ended 31st December, 2016, ABC Ltd. earned a profit of ` 20,000
and at year end, declared and paid a dividend of ` 30,000.
Show by an entry how the dividend should be recorded in the books of XYZ Ltd.
What is the amount of minority interest as on 1st January, 2016 and

Solution
Total dividend paid = ` 30,000
Out of post-acquisition profit = ` 20,000
Out of pre-acquisition profit = ` 10,000
Hence, 2/3rd of dividend received by XYZ will be credited to P & L and 1/3 rd will
be credited to Investment.

13. PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET

While preparing the consolidated balance sheet, assets and liabilities of the
subsidiary company are merged with those of the holding company. Share capital
and reserves and surplus of subsidiary company are apportioned between holding
company and minority shareholders. These items, along with investments of
holding company in shares of subsidiary company are not separately shown in
consolidated balance sheet. The net amounts resulting from various computations
on these items, shown as (a) minority interest (b) cost of control (c) holding
company’s share in post-acquisition profits of the subsidiary company (added to
appropriate concerned account of the holding company) are entered in
consolidated balance sheet. The method of calculation of these items with
detailed treatment of other relevant issues has been dealt with in various paras
separately.
As per the provisions of AS 21 on Consolidated Financial statements, if an
enterprise makes two or more investments in another enterprise at different dates
and eventually obtain control of the other enterprise the consolidated financial
statements are presented only from the date on which holding-subsidiary
relationship comes in existence.
If two or more investments are made over a period of time, the equity of the
subsidiary at the date of investment for the purposes of AS 21, is generally
determined on a step-by-step basis; however, if small investments are made over
a period of time and then an investment is made that results in control, the date
of the latest investment, as a practicable measure, may be considered as the date
of investment.

14. ELIMINATION OF INTRA-GROUP TRANSACTIONS

In order to present financial statements for the group in a consolidated format,
the effect of transactions between group enterprises should be eliminated. Para
16 of AS 21 states that intragroup balances and intragroup transactions and
resulting unrealised profits should be eliminated in full. Unrealised losses
resulting from intragroup transactions should also be eliminated unless cost
cannot be recovered.
Liabilities due to one group enterprise by another will be set off against the
corresponding asset in the other group enterprise’s financial statements; sales
made by one group enterprise to another should be excluded both from turnover
and from cost of sales or the appropriate expense heading in the consolidated
statement of profit and loss.
To the extent that the buying enterprise has further sold the goods in question to
a third party, the eliminations to sales and cost of sales are all that is required,
and no adjustments to consolidated profit or loss for the period, or to net assets,

are needed. However, to the extent that the goods in question are still on hand at
year end, they may be carried at an amount that is in excess of cost to the group
and the amount of the intra-group profit must be eliminated, and assets are
reduced to cost to the group.
For transactions between group enterprises, unrealized profits resulting from
intra-group transactions that are included in the carrying amount of assets, such
as inventories and tangible fixed assets, are eliminated in full. The requirement to
eliminate such profits in full applies to the transactions of all subsidiaries that are
consolidated – even those in which the group’s interest is less than 100%.
Unrealised profit in inventories: Where a group enterprise sells goods to
another, the selling enterprise, as a separate legal enterprise, records profits
made on those sales. If these goods are still held in inventory by the buying
enterprise at the year end, the profit recorded by the selling enterprise, when
viewed from the standpoint of the group as a whole, has not yet been earned,
and will not be earned until the goods are eventually sold outside the group. On
consolidation, the unrealized profit on closing inventories will be eliminated from
the group’s profit, and the closing inventories of the group will be recorded at
cost to the group.
Here, the point to be noted is that one has to see whether the intragroup
transaction is “upstream” or “down-stream”. Upstream transaction is a
transaction in which the subsidiary company sells goods to holding company.
While in the downstream transaction holding company is the seller and
subsidiary company is the buyer.
Sells goods
Subsidiary
Holding Co. Co.to Downstream Sales
Co.
Sells goods
Subsidiary Holding Co. Upstream Sales
Co. Co.to
In the case of upstream transaction, goods are sold by the subsidiary to holding
company; profit is made by the subsidiary company, which is ultimately shared by
the holding company and the minority shareholders. In such a transaction, if
some goods remain unsold at the balance sheet date, the unrealized profit on
such goods should be eliminated from minority interest as well as from

consolidated profit on the basis of their share-holding besides deducting the

same from unsold Inventory. But in the case of downstream transaction the whole
profit is earned by the holding company, therefore whole unrealized profit should
be adjusted from unsold Inventory account and consolidated profit and loss
account only irrespective of the percentage of the shares held by the parent
Intra-group transaction

Unrealised profit on transfer of non-current asset: Similar to the treatment

described above for unrealized profits in inventories, unrealized inter-company
profits arising from intra-group transfers of fixed assets are also eliminated from
the consolidated financial statements.
Unrealised losses: Unrealised losses resulting from intra-group transactions that
are deducted in arriving at the carrying amount of assets are also eliminated
unless cost cannot be recovered.
15. PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED PROFIT AND LOSS

ACCOUNT
All the items of profit and loss account are to be added on line by line basis and
from the consolidated revenue items inter-company transactions should be
eliminated.
For example, a holding company may sell goods or services to its subsidiary,
receives consultancy fees, commission, royalty etc. These items are included in
sales and other income of the holding company and in the expense items of the
subsidiary. Alternatively, the subsidiary may also sell goods or services to the
holding company. These inter-company transactions are to be eliminated in full.

If there remains any unrealised profit in the inventory, of any of the Group
Company, such unrealised profit is to be eliminated from the value of inventory to
arrive at the consolidated profit.

16. PREPARATION OF CONSOLIDATED CASH FLOW

STATEMENT
A holding company has to prepare a consolidated cash flow statement if it is
required to prepare cash flow statement.
For the purpose of preparation of consolidated cash flow statement, all the items
of cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities
are to be added on line by line basis and from the consolidated items, inter -
company transactions should be eliminated. Below given is an illustrative
consolidated cash flow statement with hypothetical figures:

17. UNIFORM ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Para 20 of AS 21 mentions that consolidated financial statements shall be

prepared using uniform accounting policies for like transactions and other events
in similar circumstances.
If any company in the same group uses accounting policies other than those
adopted in consolidated financial statements for like transactions and events in
similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments should be made.

If it is not practicable to use uniform accounting policies in preparing the

consolidated financial statements, the fact should be disclosed together with the
proportions of items to which different accounting policies have been applied.
For example, if the subsidiary company follows LIFO method for valuation of
inventories and the holding company follows FIFO method, the financial statements
of subsidiary company should be restated by adjusting the value of inventories to
bring the same in line with the valuation procedure adopted by the holding
company. After that consolidation should be done.

Also consider the following information:

(a) B Ltd. is a subsidiary of A Ltd. Both the companies follow calendar year as the
accounting year.
(b) A Ltd. values inventory on LIFO basis while B Ltd. used FIFO basis. To bring B
Ltd.’s values in line with those of A Ltd. its value of inventory is required to be
reduced by `12,000 at the end of 2015 and ` 34,000 at the end of 2016.
(c) Both the companies use straight-line method of depreciation. However, A Ltd.
charges depreciation @ 10%.

(d) B Ltd. deducts 1% from Trade Receivables as a general provision against

doubtful debts.
(e) Prepaid expenses in B Ltd. include advertising expenditure carried forward of
` 60,000 in 2015 and` 30,000 in 2016, being part of initial advertising
expenditure of ` 90,000 in 2015 which is being written off over three years.
Similar amount of advertising expenditure of A Ltd. has been fully written off in
2015.
Restate the balance sheet of B Ltd. as on 31 st December, 2016 after considering the
above information, for the purpose of consolidation. Such restatement is necessary
to make the accounting policies adopted by A Ltd. and B Ltd. uniform.

Note: Since B Ltd. follows FIFO basis, it is assumed that opening inventory has
been sold out during the year 2015. Therefore, reduction in inventory would have
been taken care of by sale value. Hence no adjustment has been made for the
same.

18. TREATMENT OF SUBSIDIARY COMPANY HAVING

PREFERENCE SHARE CAPITAL
If the holding company has some investments in the preference shares of
subsidiary, the carrying amount of such investments along with carrying amount

of investments in equity shares of subsidiary company should be set off against

the holding company’s share in the equity of such subsidiary. The difference is
treated as goodwill or capital reserve. The interest of minority shareholders of the
subsidiary company will then include such portion of preference share capital of
the subsidiary company which is not held by holding company.
However, if a subsidiary company has cumulative preference shares which are
partly held outside the group, the holding company should compute its share of
profits or losses of subsidiary after adjusting for the subsidiary’s preference
dividend attributable to minority shareholders, whether or not such dividends
have been declared. By comparison, dividends in respect of non-cumulative
shares are only recognized when declared.
19 INVESTMENT IN THE DEBENTURES OF THE SUBSIDIARY

COMPANY
For the purposes of preparing consolidated financial statements, debentures of
subsidiary held by the holding company should be eliminated. Profit or loss
arising on elimination shall be adjusted against Profit and Loss account of the
holding company. No goodwill or capital reserve will be ascertained.
SUMMARY
 “holding company”, in relation to one or more other companies, means a
company of which such companies are subsidiary companies; “subsidiary
company” or “subsidiary”, in relation to any other company (that is to say the
holding company), means a company in which the holding company—
o controls the composition of the Board of Directors; or
o exercises or controls more than one-half of the total share capital either at
its own or together with one or more of its subsidiary companies: Provided
that such class or classes of holding companies as may be prescribed shall
not have layers of subsidiaries beyond such numbers as may be prescribed.
 ‘Total share capital’, as defined in section 2(87) (ii) above, has been further
clarified by the Rule 2(1)(r) of the Companies (Specification of Definitions Details)
Rules, 2014. As per the Rule, total share capital includes
 paid up equity share capital
 convertible preference share capital.

 Consolidated financial statements are prepared and presented by a

parent/holding enterprise to provide financial information about a parent and its
subsidiary(ies) as a single economic entity.
 Distinction must be made from the point of view of the holding company,
between revenue and capital profit of the subsidiary. In the absence of
information, profits of a year may be treated as accruing from day to day.
Preparation of Consolidated Profit and Loss Account
 All the revenue items are to be added on line by line basis and from the
consolidated revenue items, inter-company transactions should be
eliminated.
 If there remains any unrealised profit in the inventory of goods, of any of the
Group Company, such unrealised profit should be eliminated from the value
of inventory to arrive at the consolidated profit.
Preparation of Consolidated Cash Flow Statement
All the items of Cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and
financing activities are to be added on line by line basis and from the
consolidated items, inter-company transactions should be eliminated.

Note: The question can also be solved by taking ` 1,080 lakhs as post

General Reserve balance. The final answer will be same.
4. Calculation of Capital Profits

H Ltd.’s share = 60% of ` 1,800 lakhs = ` 1,080 lakhs
Minority interest = ` 1,800 – ` 1,080 = ` 720 lakhs

Share of net assets of B Ltd. as on 1.1.2010 3,24,000 7,56,000
Cost of acquisition — 10,00,000
3,24,000 2,44,000 (goodwill)
Minority’s share of losses of B Ltd: year 75,000
ended 31.12.2010
Minority interest as on 31.12.2010 2,49,000
Minority’s share of losses of B Ltd.:
year ended 31.12.2011 1,20,000
Minority interest as on 31.12.2011 1,29,000
Minority’s share of losses of B Ltd.
year ended 31.12.2012 1,29,000*
Minority interest as on 31.12.2012 Nil
Minority’s share of losses for 2013 Nil
Minority’s share of profits of B Ltd. for 2014 Nil
Minority’s share of profit for 2015 Nil
Minority’s share of profit for 2016 (` 45,000 33,000 
– ` 12,000)
Minority interest as on 31.12.2016 33,000

In the year 2012, the minority’s share of losses actually comes to ` 1,50,000. But since
minority interest as on 31.12.2011 was less than the share of loss, the excess of loss of
` 21,000 is to be added to A ltd.’s share of losses. Similarly, for the year 2013, the entire
loss of B ltd. is to be adjusted against a ltd.’s profits for the purpose of consolidation.
Therefore, upto 2013, the minority’s share of B ltd.’s losses of ` 57,000 are to be borne by A
Ltd. Thereafter, the entire profits of B ltd. will be allocated to A ltd. unless the minority ’s
share of losses previously absorbed ( ` 57,000) has been recovered. Such recovery is fully
made in 2016 and therefore minority interest of ` 33,000 is shown after adjusting fully the
share of losses of minority previously absorbed by A Ltd.
