ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
After studying this learning unit, you should be able to:
• record intragroup bills of exchange and bank overdrafts correctly
in the consolidated annual financial statements of companies
• determine the surplus when revaluing property in respect of an
interest in a subsidiary at acquisition
• calculate the unrealised profit effect in trading inventories in both
the parent and the subsidiary
• do the pro forma consolidation journal entries
• draft the consolidated annual financial statements of a group, in
accordance with IFRS, where the sale of property, plant and
equipment or inventory has taken place between companies in the
group
7.1 INTRODUCTION
In the preceding learning units, we introduced you to the basic consolidation process for
wholly and partly owned subsidiaries.
In this learning unit, we deal mainly with other intragroup transactions that take place in
groups and therefore have to be eliminated for consolidation purposes. We will deal with
trading inventories as well as the property, plant and equipment held in a group.
We would like to emphasise that we do not deal with taxation on unrealised

intragroup profits or losses in this module.
7.2 INTRAGROUP BILLS OF EXCHANGE AND BANK OVERDRAFTS

A bill of exchange is a negotiable document. It is a written instruction directed by one
person to another instructing that person to pay, upon demand, a certain sum of money
to the person nominated in the bill of exchange.
For example:
Bill No. 111 30/10/20.8
To: P Ltd Amount: R2 000
Pay the amount of R2 000 to S Ltd on 30/11/20.8.
2
S Ltd would treat it as a bill receivable in its records, whereas P Ltd would show it as a bill
payable. Upon consolidation, the subsidiary's bill receivable would be offset against the
bill payable in P Ltd's records. From a group perspective, the group cannot enter into a
transaction with itself.
S Ltd could have converted the bill into cash before 30/11/20.8 by selling it to a financial
institution. This type of transaction is known as discounting.
On consolidation, we may only offset the bank overdraft of one company in the group
against the favourable bank balance of another company if both companies have their
accounts at the same bank and the company with the favourable balance has
guaranteed the overdraft of the other company or the bank itself would offset the two
amounts against each other in terms of an agreement between the two companies and
the bank.
7.3 REVALUATION OF PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

The assets of a subsidiary could be revalued at the date of acquisition of the interest if
the carrying amounts and market values of the assets differ.
The following two situations may arise:
• The subsidiary's assets may be revalued merely for the purposes of determining
the purchase price, without a journal entry being made in the subsidiary's financial
records.
• The assets of the subsidiary may be revalued in order to determine the purchase
price, and an adjustment is subsequently made in the subsidiary's financial
records.
Note that the revaluation of assets may lead to capital gains tax, which is ignored for the
purposes of this module.
We will use the following two examples to explain the two situations to you:

EXAMPLE 1
A Ltd acquired 80 000 shares in B Ltd on 1 July 20.1. Each share carries one vote. At that
date, the land belonging to B Ltd was valued at R200 000. No adjustment was made in
the financial records of B Ltd.
The retained earnings was R46 000. At 30 June 20.4, the trial balances of A Ltd and B Ltd
were as follows:

7.4 UNREALISED PROFIT IN TRADING INVENTORIES

As mentioned previously, the purpose of consolidated annual financial statements is to
offer annual financial statements after the elimination of all intragroup transactions.
We should eliminate those profits or losses on transactions within the group, as the group
is regarded as one economic entity and will not enter into transactions with itself.
P Ltd → S Ltd → X Ltd
Suppose P Ltd sells inventories to S Ltd at a cost price of R1 000 plus 20% profit. S Ltd
packs the inventories and sells them to X Ltd, a company outside the group, at R1 500.
The following situation may arise from this scenario:
• All the inventories have been sold to X Ltd by the end of the year. There will be
no change to the consolidated annual statements as the profit is actually realised
by selling it to a company outside the group.
• If no inventories have been sold to X Ltd, we should eliminate the unrealised
profit of R200 (20% x R1 000) as the profit has not yet realised outside the
group. The inventory of S Ltd and P Ltd's profit include this amount. To eliminate
the unrealised profit, S Ltd has to subtract the R200 from its closing inventory (i.e.
inventory should be credited), whereas P Ltd has to decrease its profit by debiting
cost of sales with R200.
• If half the inventories have been sold outside the group, R100 should be
eliminated.
11
A very important aspect of consolidations is that we must start by determining which
company is selling the inventories and which company is buying them.
P Ltd
Sells to
S Ltd
If P Ltd sells inventories to S Ltd, P Ltd is making the profit, and no adjustment to non-
controlling interest is necessary.
P Ltd
Sells to
S Ltd
If S Ltd sells inventories to P Ltd, S Ltd is making the profit, and the NCI must be adjusted
by its percentage interest in profit or loss. (This adjustment is made in the analysis of the
owner's equity).
Note: Unrealised profits and losses have income tax implications, but we ignore
these for the purposes of this module. We will deal with this at third-year level.

COMMENT
Note that in this example, the parent sold inventories to the subsidiary. The unrealised
profit was therefore included in the profit of A Ltd, and there were consequently no
adjustments in the analysis of owner's equity of B Ltd, but only in the consolidated
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Also note that sales and cost of sales are not always given in questions. You will then
have to make all adjustments against profit before tax.
It is very important to understand the journal entries. When you know which accounts
need to be debited or credited, you will know where the amounts should be added or
subtracted in the statements.
We need to eliminate all intragroup transactions. When a shareholder or outsider

evaluates the group's statements, the group is regarded as one economic entity. As the
single entity will not enter into transactions with itself, we should eliminate any sales
between companies in the group. Therefore, we need to eliminate the intragroup sales
of R100 000 mentioned in point 3 of the additional information. When these sales took
place, A Ltd credited sales as it sold these goods. B Ltd debited its inventory with the
purchase. We assume B Ltd sold this inventory and therefore had already affected cost
of sales. To eliminate the intragroup sales, we will debit the sales of A Ltd with R100
000, thus subtracting the amount from sales. We will credit the cost of sales of B Ltd,
thus decreasing cost of sales.
A Ltd sells inventory to B Ltd at a profit of 25%. Both B Ltd's inventory left at year-end
and A Ltd's profit include this intragroup profit. Since we evaluate the companies as a
single entity, we need to eliminate the intragroup profit (unrealised profit) as it was profit
earned from within the group but had not yet been realised outside the group.
At year-end, B Ltd has inventory obtained from A Ltd in its financial records amounting
to R30 000. A Ltd made a profit of 25%. To calculate the unrealised profit portion, we
have to recognise that the R30 000 already includes 25% profit, which makes it 125%.
We calculate the profit of 25% as follows: R30 000 x 25 /125 = R6 000.
To eliminate the unrealised profit, B Ltd has to subtract the R6 000 from its closing
inventory in the statement of financial position. We therefore credit inventory to
decrease it. We should also decrease A Ltd's profit by debiting cost of sales. Profit
decreases when we debit cost of sales, but the R6 000 is added to cost of sales. Refer
to the journal entries.
18
In the previous year, the journal entry for eliminating the unrealised profit of R4 000 was
performed similar to what is described above. On consolidation, we have to repeat all
the entries annually because we combine the individual companies' financial records
annually and these current records do not contain the consolidation entries of the
previous year. If profit was affected in the previous year, we need to adjust the retained
earnings in the current year. Therefore, the cost of sales of R4 000 that would have
been debited in the previous year will be debited against the retained earnings in the
current year. Due to the general view that the operating cycle of entities is normally a
year, we assume that B Ltd actually sold this inventory to outside parties within a year;
hence the profit is realised. Therefore, we credit cost of sales in A Ltd to increase the
profit again. Crediting the cost of sales implies that the cost of sales decreases, so the
R 4 000 is subtracted from cost of sales in the statements.

Since the subsidiary in this example has sold the inventories and made the profit, we
should also bring into account the adjustments in respect of unrealised profit in the

• To see whether the NCI column has been correctly calculated, we can say:
Total = R210 000
NCI = 20%
Therefore, the NCI column must be equal to
R210 000 x 20% = R42 000

7.5 PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT HELD BY COMPANIES IN
THE GROUP
We should eliminate any profit realised when an asset belonging to one company in the
group is sold to another company in the group. However, the company that purchased
the asset is still providing for too much depreciation because the profit is included in the
cost price of the asset in its books. We should write back this portion of the depreciation
for consolidation purposes.
The unrealised profit on assets is realised either through the sale of the asset to an
outsider or the use of the asset at the rate of depreciation.
The following four situations may arise where assets are sold within a group:
• The parent sells non-depreciable assets to the subsidiary

• The subsidiary sells non-depreciable assets to the parent
• The parent sells depreciable assets to the subsidiary
• The subsidiary sells depreciable assets to the parent
Note: Unrealised profits and losses have income tax implications, which we ignore
for the purposes of this module. We will deal with this at third-year level.
Study the following examples carefully as they provide a detailed explanation of the sale
of assets within a group:

Note that R Ltd sold the property in a previous financial year, and the transaction
therefore has no effect on the current year's statement of profit or loss and other
comprehensive income. However, it does have an effect on the opening balance of
retained earnings in the statement of changes in equity. As the subsidiary made the
profit, we take the R4 000 into account in the analysis of owner's equity under the "since
acquisition to beginning of current year" section (R2 800), and this affects the opening
balance of retained earnings.

COMMENT
As B Ltd purchased all of its machinery from A Ltd at the beginning of the previous year,
we should debit retained earnings to eliminate the unrealised profit. A Ltd sold the
machinery and made the profit; therefore A Ltd's retained earnings needs to decrease
(be debited) to eliminate the unrealised profit. B Ltd bought the machinery; therefore, B
Ltd's machinery needs to be credited to decrease it, as it contains the profit amount that
needs to be eliminated.
Therefore:
Dr Cr
Retained earnings – A Ltd 5 000

Machinery – B Ltd 5 000
In B Ltd's individual financial records, B Ltd depreciates machinery that still includes
the unrealised profit of R5 000. Therefore, excessive provision is made for depreciation.
To eliminate this, we debit accumulated depreciation. (We normally credit accumulated
depreciation when depreciation occurs.) The amount is calculated as follows: R5 000
(unrealised profit) x 10% (depreciation rate).
As A Ltd made the profit, and the profit was eliminated in A Ltd's records, everything
that affects profit or retained earnings will occur in A Ltd's records. As this machine is
used, the profit that was first unrealised now becomes realised each year through use
of the asset, over the remaining useful life of the machine at the rate of depreciation.
Therefore, we should credit the retained earnings or profit again since the profit is being
realised gradually through the use of the asset. In the current year, we credit A Ltd's
depreciation and we credit the retained earnings of A Ltd for the previous years.
Therefore:
Dr Cr
Accumulated depreciation – B Ltd 1 000

Depreciation – A Ltd 500
Retained earnings – A Ltd 500

You should have mastered all the different aspects of consolidated annual financial
statements by now. You will find that the individual questions in the exercises are
becoming more integrated in the sense that they include more and more sections of the
work we have covered. It is therefore very important for you to work through each
question before comparing your own solution with our proposed solution. Your e-tutor can
guide you in answering these questions.

COMMENT
When we write off depreciation over five years on the straight-line method, it actually
means that the depreciation rate is 20% (100% ÷ 5 = 20% per annum).
With intragroup transactions, it is important to identify which entity made the profit.
When the subsidiary sells inventory or machinery to the parent, we account for the
unrealised profit by means of the calculation in the analysis of owner's equity, which
will affect retained earnings. (Remember, the analysis is a calculation to show the
allocation of the subsidiary's equity between the parent and non-controlling
shareholders.) However, in this question, the parent sold inventory to the subsidiary;
therefore we will adjust the unrealised profit of R70 000 in opening inventories
separately in the opening balance of retained earnings in the statement of changes in
equity.
SELF-ASSESSMENT
After studying this learning unit, are you able to:
• record intragroup bills of exchange and bank overdrafts correctly
in the consolidated annual financial statements of companies?
• determine the surplus when revaluing property in respect of an
interest in a subsidiary at acquisition?
• calculate the unrealised profit effect in trading inventories in both
the parent and subsidiary?
• do the pro forma consolidation journal entries?
• draft the consolidated annual financial statements of a group, in
accordance with IFRS, where the sale of property, plant and
equipment has taken place between companies in the group?
