The Consolidation Process
Why Consolidated Statements? They are presumed to be more meaningful
that separate statements. They are considered necessary for a fair
presentation.
The consolidation of financial information into a single set of statements becomes necessary
whenever a single economic entity is created by the business combination of two or more
companies. - - ARB No. 51

If the acquisition is made by issuing stock, the cost of the acquisition is
equal to the MARKET VALUE
of the stock issued.
If the acquisition is made by issuing stock, the cost of the acquisition is
equal to the MARKET VALUE

Purchase Method – SFAS 141
Used when when there is a change in ownership that results in control of one enterprise by another enterprise.
The appropriate valuation basis for any purchase transaction is “cost”.

Slide 2-11
McGraw-Hill/Irwin
Purchase Method - DissolutionCost = FMV
Ignore the Equity and Nominal accounts of the acquired company.
Determine FMV of the acquired company’s assets and liabilities.
Prepare a journal entry to recognize cost of the acquisition incorporate the FMV of acquired
company’s assets and liabilities into acquiring company’s books.

Prepare the entry to record Large’s purchase.
Purchase Method - DissolutionCost = FMV
On 1/1/04, Large acquired 100% of Tiny for $300,000 cash.

Slide 2-13

Purchase Method - DissolutionCost = FMV
Tiny’s fair market value was $300,000 which is equal to the price paid by Large. Record the
purchased assets at their market value.

Slide 2-14
McGraw-Hill/Irwin
Purchase Method - DissolutionCost > FMV
At date of acquisition: Acquired company should
prepare a Balance Sheet as of the date of acquisition.
Acquired company’s income prior to acquisition is irrelevant to the acquiring company.
FMV of acquired company’s assets and liabilities is added to acquiring company’s books.
Difference between Cost and FMV is allocated to identifiable intangible assets and to goodwill.
Note: Goodwill should be viewed
as a residual amount
remaining after all other
identifiable and separable
intangible assets have been identified.

Small has no identifiable, separable intangible assets.

On 1/1/04, Huge acquires 100% of Small for $250,000 cash.

Prepare Large’s journal entry for this acquisition. Remember to record the
$33,000 of Goodwill.

Slide 2-18
McGraw-Hill/Irwin
Purchase Method - DissolutionCost < FMV
When FMV exceeds cost, we have a Bargain Purchase.
Current assets and liabilities should be consolidated at their FMV.
Non-current assets should be recorded at a value between FMV and BV. i.e. each non-current asset’s
(including in-process R&D) FMV should be reduced by a proportionate share of the excess of FMV over cost.

Purchase Method - DissolutionCost < FMV
In the event that the difference is substantial enough to eliminate all the non-current asset balances of
the acquired company . . .
. . . The remainder is to be reported as an extraordinary gain

that lack physical substance. Do not include financial
instruments. When should an Intangible
be recognized? Does it arise from contractual
or other legal rights? Can it be sold or otherwise
separated from the acquired enterprise?
