Consolidation Subsequent to Acquisition • Passage of time affects revaluations of subsidiary assets and liabilities • Triggers effects on • Income statement amounts • The investment account on the parent’s books due to use of the complete equity method
Complete Equity Method • Used internally by parent company • Differs from the equity method used for external reporting • Internal Reporting • External Reporting • Impairment losses on indefinite life intangibles including goodwill • Equity in net income reduced for impairment losses • No equity in net income adjustment for impairment • All unconfirmed downstream profits are deducted • Deducted to the extent of the investor’s ownership interest • Unconfirmed profits on downstream sales
Goals of the Consolidation Elimination Process • Eliminates equity method income on the parent’s books and declared dividends on the subsidiary’s books • Eliminates stockholders’ equity accounts on the subsidiary’s books against the investment account on the parent’s books • Adjusts the subsidiary’s assets and liabilities for remaining acquisition date revaluations and eliminate the remainder of the investment balance • Adjusts reported expenses for current year revaluation write-offs
Eliminating Entries C Current – Eliminate the current year equity method entries Equity – Eliminate subsidiary’s beginning-of-year equity balances Revalue – Recognize the beginning-of-current-year fair value revaluations Write-Off – Recognize current year revaluation write-offs E R O
Consolidation Process Example Suppose Time Warner pays $75 million for Midwest Cable on January 1, 2010. Midwest’s book value is $10 million. Book and fair values are the same except for equipment with fair value $15 million higher than book value. Midwest has unreported identifiable intangibles valued at $2 million. Acquisition analysis:
Consolidation Process Example continued Midwest reports net income of $5 million and declares and pays cash dividends of $1 million to Time Warner in 2010. Revalued equipment has a remaining life of 20 years. Identifiable intangibles have 4 years of remaining life. Straight-line depreciation and amortization is used. Goodwill is not impaired. Complete equity method:

Revaluations in Subsequent Years • Requires recognition of write-offs of reported revaluations over time • Inventories • Write off in year of reported sale • Plant and equipment • Write off each year of useful life • Previously unreported intangibles • Write off each year of useful life, or if impaired • Long-term debt • Write off premium/discount over remaining life • Reported in eliminating entry ‘O’
Revaluations of Inventories The book value of a subsidiary’s inventory acquired on January 1, 2011 is $800,000, with its fair value at $1 million. FIFO is used. Subsidiary’s accounting records: To record sale of beginning inventory during 2011: Calculate the adjustment to be made: Consolidation working paper: Eliminating entry to revalue cost of sales to acquisition cost:
Revaluations of Depreciable Assets The book value of a subsidiary’s equipment on January 1, 2011 is $50 million, with its fair value at $70 million, with a remaining useful life of 10 years and no residual value. Straight-line depreciation is used. Consolidation working paper: Eliminating entry to revalue depreciation to reflect fair value at date of acquisition: *or accumulated depreciation
Revaluations of Long-Term Debt The subsidiary reports $100 million of 5% bonds payable at January 1, 2011, issued in 2010 at par, and due on December 31, 2020. The fair value of the bonds is $90 million on January 1, 2011. Bond discount amortization: $10,000,000 ÷ 10 years = $1,000,000 Consolidation working paper: Eliminating entry to amortize bond discount for 2011:
Previously Reported Intangibles With Limited Lives • Amortized over estimated useful life • Amortized amount equal to recorded amount of the asset less estimated residual value (usually zero) • Amortization method reflects the pattern in which the economic benefits are consumed • Generally straight-line method Examples: Favorable lease agreements and customer lists
Previously Reported Intangible Assets with Indefinite Lives • If no factors appear to limit the intangible asset’s life, the life is deemed to be indefinite • Examples • Brand names • Franchises • Goodwill • Acquired in-process research and development
Impairment Testing for Intangibles Other Than Goodwill • If carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value • Recognize an impairment loss • Once impairment loss is recorded, no reversal is allowed for increases in value • Guided by SFAS 144
Impairment Testing for Intangibles Other Than Goodwill Two step process Step 1: Undiscounted cash flows expected from the future use of the asset and its subsequent disposition Less Than Asset’s carrying value? Impairment has incurred Yes Step 2: Amount of loss = Book value of intangible asset less Present value of the future cash flows No No impairment
Goodwill • An indefinite life intangible • Per SFAS 142, must be regularly tested for impairment • Impairment losses reported in the operating section of the income statement • If material, reported as a separate line item • Goodwill has meaning only in the context of a business unit • Represents a variety of intangible benefits connected with that business, beyond its tangible and identifiable intangible net assets
Goodwill Impairment • Testing required at least annually unless circumstances indicate the likelihood of impairment is remote • More frequent testing needed for • A significant downturn in the business climate • Adverse legal or regulatory outcomes • Unanticipated new competition • Loss of key personnel • Expectation that a reporting unit will be sold
Impairment Testing for Goodwill Two step process Step 1: Is fair value of the reporting unit Less Than Carrying value? Impairment may be incurred Yes No Step 2: Estimate implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill. Is the implied fair value Less Than its carrying amount? No No impairment Yes Impairment is incurred Write-off is required
Amortization of Specific IntangiblesExample On January 1, 2012, Primus Telecommunication Group acquires all of the voting stock of Matrix Internet. Previously unrecorded intangibles at acquisition are: 2012 amortization (in millions): Must be assessed for impairment at least annually
Impairment of Specific Intangibles Example continued The following information is provided by Primus at December 31, 2012: Impairment loss (in millions): Impairment loss of $40 million must be reported.
Impairment of Goodwill Example Primus Telecommunication Group acquires all of the voting stock of Matrix Internet with goodwill as follows: Impairment testing at the end of the year: Step 1 - Compare the fair value to the book value of each reporting unit. Goodwill may be impaired
Impairment of Goodwill Example continued Step 2 - Compare fair value of the unit to the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the unit: Goodwill assigned to Wholesale Carrier is impaired by $160 million. To record amortization expense and impairment losses on previously unreported intangibles and goodwill for 2012:
