Noncontrolling Interest

If the parent doesn’t own 100% of the company, WHO owns the rest of it?

Noncontrolling (Minority) Shareholder The ownership interests of the

Noncontrolling Shareholders must be reflected in the consolidated financial statements.

4-3

The Parent has control and is responsible for all of the Subsidiary’s assets and liabilities, so we will still consolidate 100% of the Subsidiary’s financial information. However…

The existence of noncontrolling investors requires two new accounts:

Noncontrolling Interest - Example

Assume that Parker Corporation wants to acquire 90% of Strong

Company. Strong’s stock has been trading for $60 per share.

If Parker has to pay $70 per share to induce enough stockholders to sell, how do we account for the 10% of Strong that Parker does not own?

4-4

Let’s look at an example.

Noncontrolling Interest - Example

In this case, the Controlling Investor had to pay a

premium for the shares they need to gain control.

How do we value this premium, and how do we value the noncontrolling

interest?

4-5

Noncontrolling Interest - Example

If Parker purchased 9,000 shares at this price, then the fair value of their consideration transferred is $630,000. The remaining 1,000

shares of Strong have a fair value of $60,000.

This gives a total acquisition-date fair value of Strong Company of $690,000.

4-6

Noncontrolling Interest - Example

The total acquisition-date fair value of Strong of $690,000 is greater than the fair value of

the identifiable net assets acquired of $600,000 (10,000

shares x $60 per share).

The difference is allocated to Goodwill.

4-7

Noncontrolling Interest - Example

If the shares were not actively traded, then the consideration transferred by Parker would be considered the best measure of

fair value of Strong, and we would estimate the fair value

of the noncontrolling interest at $70,000.

4-8

Recording Noncontrolling Interest

On the Balance Sheet: A credit balance account called

Noncontrolling Interest represents the noncontrolling stockholders’ investment.

This account appears in the equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheet as required by

SFAS 160.

4-9

Recording Noncontrolling Interest

On the Income Statement: An account called Noncontolling

Interest in Subsidiary Net Income represents the noncontrolling shareholders’ share of the sub’s net income.

This account is created in consolidation and reported in the worksheet entries, similar to the balance sheet account for the noncontrolling interest.

4-10

Let’s take our original example one step further.

Parker owns 90% of Strong.

Assume Strong earns $80,000 in the first year Parker has control.

$30,000 of annual excess fair value amortization results from increasing Strong’s acquisition- date book values to fair value.

Note: The noncontrolling shareholders have a 10% interest in the subsidiary company, but no interest in the parent firm.

4-12

Noncontrolling Interests and Consolidations

The consolidation process remains substantially unchanged with a noncontrolling interest.

Consolidate as though the Parent has 100% ownership, and then determine the

noncontrolling interest in:

The subsidiary as of the beginning of the current year.

The subsidiary’s current year net income.

The subsidiary’s dividend payments.

Noncontrolling Interest -Worksheet ExampleNoncontrolling Interest -Worksheet Example

4-14

To illustrate:

Assume that King Co. acquires 80% of Pawn Co’s 100,000 outstanding voting shares on January 1, 2011, for $9.75 per share or a total of $780,000 cash. Further assume that the 20% noncontrolling interest shares trade before and after the acquisition at an average of $9.75 per share. The total fair value of Pawn to be used initially in consolidation is thus as follows:Consideration transferred by King. . . . . . . . . . . $780,000Noncontrolling interest fair value . . . . . . . . . . . . 195,000Pawn’s total fair value at January 1, 2011 . . . $975,000

Noncontrolling Interest -Worksheet Example

Note: Comparing the total fair value based on the stock value of $975,000 to the fair value of identifiable net assets shown above, it appears Pawn has goodwill valued at $25,000.

Noncontrolling Interest -Worksheet Example

King uses the Equity Method to account for Pawn subsequent to acquisition.

The consolidation process is substantially the same.

At each consolidation, we will prepare the worksheet with the entries we

referenced as S, A, I, D, and E, AND…

We will add a column to our worksheet where we will record the noncontrolling

interest in the subsidiary.

Noncontrolling Interest – Premium Paid

If King had paid $11.00 for their shares, at a time when they were trading for $9.75, then the goodwill allocation would look like this:

$11.00 x 80,000 shares$9.75 x 20,000 shares

Consideration transferred

Effects of using the Initial Value Method

Add Entry *C to convert from the Initial Value Method to the Equity Method by combining: the increase in the Sub’s Retained

Earnings since acquisition x the parent’s ownership %, and

the parent’s share of amortization expense since acquisition.

Entry D will not be necessary.

4-22

What if the Parent used the Initial Value Method to account for the Subsidiary after acquisition?

4-23 Effects of using the Partial Equity Method

Add Entry *C to convert from the Partial Equity Method to the Equity Method, but only the adjustment for the parent’s share of amortization expense is necessary.

4-23

What if the Parent used the Partial Equity Method to account for the Subsidiary after acquisition?

Mid-Year Acquisitions

When control of a Sub is acquired at a time subsequent to the beginning of the sub’s fiscal year: The income statements are

consolidated as usual, and The Sub’s pre-acquisition revenues

and expenses are excluded from the Parent’s consolidated statements (adjusted via Entry S), and

Only a partial year’s amortization on excess fair value is taken.

4-24

Step Acquisitions

When a Parent acquires a Subsidiary over time, or in “steps,” the date control is achieved is significant –

All previous values for the investment, prior to the date control is obtained, are remeasured to fair value as of the date of control.

4-25

Sales of Subsidiary Stock

If the parent maintains control, it recognizes no gains or losses – the sale is shown in the equity section.

If the sale results in the loss of control, the parent recognizes any resulting gain or loss in consolidated net income.

What is reported on the consolidated statements when a Parent sells some of its ownership in a Subsidiary?
