INTRODUCTION
The preparation of consolidated financial statement of the group comprising
holding company and all its subsidiaries is mandatory with effect from the year ending 31st
March, 2003. The principles and procedures for preparation of consolidated financial statement
are laid down in the Accounting standard 21 (AS 21) issued by the ICAI. The standard is
applicable to all the enterprises that prepare consolidated financial statements. It is applicable
by virtue of SEBI guidelines to listed companies. The consolidated financial statements shall be
presented in the same format as that of the parent company.
The consolidated financial statements would include the following:
a)
Balance sheet;
b)
Profit and loss Account;
c)
Notes to Accounts;
d)
Cash Flow Statement (if the parent company presents its own cash flow statement );
e)
Segment Reporting.
Consolidated financial statements are prepared in addition to separate financial statements of
the parent and its subsidiaries. Consolidated statements should be prepared for both domestic as
well as foreign subsidiaries.
HOLDING COMPANY
Holding company is the company which holds either all or majority of the
shares of the other company. These shares are held in order to exercise control over the other
company. The holding company device was mainly used to further the combination movement
in order to eliminate competition and to establish a monopoly or near monopoly state. Such a
monopoly or near monopoly state can also be established with help of merger schemes like
Amalgamation or Absorption. But the disadvantage of merger scheme is that, the merged
company will have to be liquidated, as a result of which it will lose its separate and independent
existence. This is not the case with holding company device
Holding of shares is to purchase the shares and own them. Thus what is
important here is to purchase the shares of that other company. As the intention here is to
exercise the control over the management of that other company, w hat is essential here is to
have 51% or more voting power. It may be pointed out that some disadvantage also follow with
holding majority of voting power like, fraudulent manipulation of accounts oppression of
majority, shareholders exploiting that other company to the advantage of holding company etc.
SUBSIDIARY COMPANY
The company whose shares are held is called as a subsidiary company. The
subsidiary companies can either be partly owned or wholly owned subsidiaries.
A wholly of partly owned subsidiary is one in which all the shares are owned by
holding company.
2
In case of partly owned subsidiary, only the majority of shares are owned by
holding company. The owners of the remaining shares are called as Minority Shareholders.
Their interest in the Net Assets is called as Minority Interest.
CHAPTER-II
ANALYSE OF RESERVES & SURPLUS OF SUBSIDIARY COMPANY
Analysis of profit of subsidiary company as pre-acquisition profit and post
acquisition profit is done on the basis of date of acquisition of shares by the holding company.
Profits earned by the subsidiary company upto date of acquisition of shares by Holding
company are called as pre-acquisition profits or capital profits. The profit earned by the
3
subsidiary company after the acquisition of shares by the holding company is called as Post
acquisition profits or Revenue profits. The loss of the subsidiary company upto the date of
acquisition is treated as a capital loss and subsequent to the acquisition as a Revenue loss.
The reserves to be analysed shall be the reserves as appearing in the Balance
sheet of the subsidiary company as on the date of preparation of consolidated Balance sheet.
Such reserves are subject to adjustments relating to proposed dividends, Bonus / unaccounted
items such as interest payment due to or due from subsidiary company. If the subsidiary has
cumulative preference shares on which dividend has not been provided for or dividend is in
arrears, the same should be provided.
If investments are made during the financial year, the profits should be
apportioned on a reasonable basis i.e. on the basis of time. The assumption being that profits
have accrued evenly during the year.
CAPITAL PROFIT
Return of capital is the distribution of cash that resulted from tax savings on
depreciation, sale of a capital asset or securities, or any other sources unrelated to retained
earnings.
The amount by which an asset's selling price exceeds its initial purchase price.
A realized capital gain is an investment that has been sold at a profit. An unrealized capital gain
4
is an investment that hasn't been sold yet but would result in a profit if sold. Capital gain is
often used to mean realized capital gain. For most investments sold at a profit, including mutual
funds, bonds, options, collectibles, homes, and businesses, the IRS is
owed money called capital gains tax. Opposite of capital loss.
REVENUE PROFIT
In business usage, revenue is income received by an organization in the form
of cash or cash equivalents. Sales revenue or revenues is income received from selling goods or
services over a period of time. Tax revenue is income that a government receives from tax
payers.
Line a double-entry bookkeeping system, revenue accounts are general
edger accounts that are summarized periodically under the heading Revenue or Revenues on an
income statement. Revenue account, revenue or turnover is income that a company receives
from its normal business activities, usually from the sale of services to customers. In many
countries, such as the United Kingdom, revenue is referred to as turnover.
figures. If there is an increase in the book value of an asset the same should be treated as preacquisition profit. The total profit will be apportioned and will be used in calculation of
goodwill / capital reserve and minority interest.
If the revaluation results in a loss, the cost of control on value of goodwill or capital reserve
increased.
DEPRECIATION ADJUSTMENT
When any fixed asset of a subsidiary company has been revalue, but no entry
has been passed should be adjusted, but the not only addition or reduction in the consolidated
profit and loss account has to be adjusted.
If the value of asset is written up to a higher figure than that appears in the
books of the subsidiary company, the charge for depreciation to consolidated profit and loss
account should be increased on the increased value of the asset at the appropriate rate. When
the value of asset has been written down, the charge for depreciation should be reduced
proportionately. The amount of extra depreciation is to be written back and considered as a
revenue profit. This should be added to the profit and loss account of the subsidiary company.
CHAPTER-III
INTER COMPANY DIVIDEND
Holding company owns larger portion of the shares of the subsidiary company.
When dividend is paid out of profit of the subsidiary company the holding company is likely to
receive larger portion of it as a shareholder. Such dividend may be paid out of pre-acquisition
profit or post acquisition profit. The accounting treatment depends on such payment.
6
CHAPTER-IV
COST OF CONTROL
Determine Cost of Control
It is an important aspect of consolidation of accounts to find out either goodwill or capital
reserve at the acquisition of shares in subsidiary company. Following two steps should be taken
to decide cost of control:
xx
xx
xx
xx
xx
xx
xx
When the value of investment is less than the cost of investment in shares of subsidiary
company, the difference is considered as goodwill. Capital Reserve is the excess of
value of investment over the cost of investment.
CAPITAL RESERVE
Contributions to the capital reserve account can be made from government subsidies, donated
funds, or can be set aside from the firm's or municipality's regular revenue-generating
operations. Once recorded on the reporting entity's balance sheet, these funds are only to be
spent on the capital expenditure projects for which they were initially intended, excluding any
unforeseen circumstances.
GOODWILL
Goodwill is an accounting concept meaning the value of an asset owned that is intangible but
has a quantifiable "prudent value" in a business for example a reputation the firm enjoyed with
its clients. For example, a software company may have net assets (consisting primarily of
miscellaneous equipment, and assuming no debt) valued at $1 million, but the company's
overall value (including brand, customers, intellectual capital) is valued at $10 million.
8
Anybody buying that company would book $10 million in total assets acquired, comprising $1
million physical assets, and $9 million in goodwill. In a private company, goodwill has no
predetermined value prior to the acquisition; its magnitude depends on the two other
variables by definition. A publicly traded company, by contrast, is subject to a constant process
of market valuation, so goodwill will always be apparent.
CHAPTER-V
MINORITY INTEREST
When the Holding Company acquires all the shares of the subsidiary company, the latter
company becomes wholly owned subsidiary company. but when the Holding Company
acquires more than 50% but less than 100%. Shares of the subsidiary company the shareholders
who have a Minority share are called as minority shareholders. The interest of such
shareholders is called as Minority Interest. Minority Interest is the proportion of the subsidiary
companys net asset / shareholders fund, which belongs to the minority shareholders. As per AS
21 minority Interest is that part of the net results of operations and net assets of the subsidiary
attributable to the interest not owned by the parent.
The amount of Minority Interest is shown in the consolidated balance sheet on liability side
separately.
Reserves & surplus of the subsidiary since the date of acquisition of shares upto the date of
preparation of consolidated balance sheet should be identified. It is popularly known as post
acquisition Reserves % surplus.
As per AS 21 minority Interest consists of share in equity on the date of acquisition and share in
movement in equity since the date of acquisition share of minority should be separately
calculated for pre-acquisition and post acquisition period. From holding companys point of
view the above distinction assumes greater significance. Share in equity on the date of
acquisition affects Goodwill/cost of control and share in movement in equity since the date of
acquisition affects consolidated Reserves & surplus.
When minority interest is negative it should be adjusted against majority interest. Negative
Minority Interest should not be shown in the consolidated Balance sheet.
CHAPTER-VI
INTER COMPANY TRANSACTIONS
One important step in consolidated of accounts is elimination of mutual indebtedness. It
includes:
a)
b)
c)
d)
e)
It should be ensured that the effect of elimination is equal and opposite sides. AS 21 requires
that intra-group balances and intra-group transactions should be eliminated.
which they are invoiced by the selling company. The general rule is that the profit on the
transaction must not remain in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. This must be deducted from the
stock and from the consolidated profit in the consolidated accounts.
As per AS 21, full amount of unrealized profit is deducted from stock on asset side and also
from profit & loss A/c on liability side of the consolidated balance sheet.
CHAPTER-VII
BALANCE SHEET
A financial statement that summarizes a company's assets, liabilities and shareholders' equity at
a specific point in time. These three balance sheet segments give investors an idea as to what
the company owns and owes, as well as the amount invested by the shareholders.
LIABILITY
Financial accounting, a liability is defined as an obligation of an entity arising
from past transactions or events, the settlement of which may result in the transfer or use
of assets, provision of services or other yielding of economic benefits in the future. A liability is
defined by the following characteristics:
SHAREHOLDERS
The term has several meanings. In its narrow, classical sense, still commonly used
in accounting, share capital comprises the nominal values of all shares issued (that is, the sum
of their "par values"). In a wider sense, if the shares have no par value or the allocation price of
shares is greater than their par value, the shares are said to be at a premium (called share
premium, additional paid-in capital or paid-in capital in excess of par); in that case, the share
11
capital can be said to be the sum of the aforementioned "nominal" share capital and the
premium. In the modern law of shares, the "par value" concept has diminished in importance,
and share capital can simply be defined as the sum of capital (cash or other assets) the company
has received from investors for its shares.
SECURED LOAN
If a loan is secured, it means it is secured against something you own (an asset) and
failing to repay the loan could result in the lender taking possession of that asset, and selling it
to cover their losses.
The asset in a secured loan will normally be your home, but it can also be your car or another
item of a high value.
UNSECURED LOAN
An unsecured loan does not require you to secure anything against the loan the lender relies
on your contractual obligation to pay it back.
12
Because there is no security and the risk they are taking is therefore greater, the amount you can
borrow tends to be less, and the repayment period is usually shorter.
CURRENT LIABILITIES
A company's debts or obligations that is due within one year. Current liabilities appear on the
company's balance sheet and include short term debt, accounts payable, accrued
Analysts and creditors will often use the current ratio, (which divides current assets by
liabilities), or the quick ratio, (which divides current assets minus inventories by current
liabilities), to determine whether a company has the ability to pay off its current liabilities.
PROVISION
In financial accounting, provision is a word that creates an ambiguous account title. In U.S.
GAAP, provision means an expense, while in IFRS, International Financial Reporting
Standards, it means a liability. So, in the U.S., Provision for Income Taxes means the same
thing as Income Tax Expense, while under IFRS, Provision for Income Taxes means Liability
for Income Taxes Payable. Another examples is provisions for warranty costs [expense in the
US and liability in IFRS]. Sometimes in IFRS, but not in US GAAP, the term reserve is used
instead of term provision; such a use, however, is inconsistent with the terminology suggested
by International Accounting Standards Board.[citation needed] Reserve, which seems to be one of the
most confusing terms in accounting, has the connotation of a debit balance to non-professionals
13
but in accounting always means an account with a credit balance. Reserve for Warranties means
estimated liability for future warranty repairs and replacements, NOT a pool of cash set aside
for the firm to use in making repairs.
CURRENT ASSETS
In financial accounting, assets are economic resources. Anything tangible or intangible that is
capable of being owned or controlled to produce value and that is held to have positive
economic value is considered an asset. Simply stated, assets represent value of ownership that
can be converted into cash (although cash itself is also considered an asset).
Current asset is an asset on the balance sheet which can either be converted to cash or used to
pay current liabilities within 12 months. Typical current assets include cash, cash, short-term
investments, accounts receivable, inventory and the portion of prepaid liabilities which will be
paid within a year.
On a balance sheet, assets will typically be classified into current assets and long-term assets.
FIXED ASSETS
Fixed assets, also known as a non-current asset or as property, plant, and equipment (PP&E), is
a term used in accounting for assets and property which cannot easily be converted into cash.
This can be compared with current assets such as cash or bank accounts, which are described
as liquid assets. In most cases, only tangible assets are referred to as fixed.
14
INVESTMENT
Investment has different meanings in finance and economics. Finance investment is putting
money into something with the expectation of gain, that upon thorough analysis, has a high
degree of security for the principal amount, as well as security of return, within an expected
period of time. As such, those shareholders who fail to thoroughly analyze their stock
purchases, such as owners of mutual funds, could well be called gamblers. Indeed, given the
efficient market hypothesis, which implies that a thorough analysis of stock data is irrational,
most rational shareholders are, by definition, not investors, but speculators.
Investment is related to saving or deferring consumption. Investment is involved in many areas
of the economy, such as business management and finance whether for Households, Firms, or
Governments.
