Example Cross holding - ASSOCIATES

COMPANY A COMPANY B Cross holding

Ownership interest 29% 24% 6.9600% (29% X 24%)
Other shareholders 71% 76% 93.0400%

Effective ownership 31% 26%
( A ) (29%/93.04%) (24%/93.04%)

Assume PL for the
period before equity 10,000 10,000
pick up

Profit share using 2,900 2,400
normal share (10,000X29%) (10,000X24%)

Assume PL for the
period After equity 12,900 12,400
pick up

Equity pick up based on 3,865.00 3,327.60
effective ownership (12,400X31%) (12,900X26%)
(refer A above)

Total profit after including
equity pick up based
on effective ownership 13,865.00 13,327.60
(3,865+10,000) (3,327.60+ 10,000)

Remarks

1) Total profit of company A will be 13,865 out of which 71% i.e. 9,844.15 will be for
shareholders other than Company B

2) Total profit of company B will be 13,327.60 out of which 76% i.e. 10,128.98 will be for
shareholders other than Company A

3) Total allocation of profit towards outsiders will be approx the total of profit earned by
company A and Company B
Total allocation to external shareholders will be

9,844.15
10,128.98
Total 19,973.13 (Round off diff)

Total 20,000.00
Profit before equity pickup

30 December 2016 Let’s understand first how the goodwill arises in case of equity accounted investment. On the date of Equity accounted investee, fair values are attributed to the investee’s identifiable assets and liabilities Which mean “”””ATTRIBUTED TO”” means we need to you effective holding as you rightly mentioned.
Coming to you second part, if the date of acquisition is different, now suppose company A was only having investment in Company B and Company was accounted as equity invested investment in the books of Company A. Then after the investment made by Company B into A in later date will create increased portion of holding (as effective holding will be higher than actual in case of cross holdings between associates, refer example earlier), then the increased portion will be used as increase in shareholding in equity accounted investment keeping the equity accounting. In such case entity should use partial step up approach where goodwill is calculated on the incremental portion acquired comparing to the net assets value of that date to arrive additional goodwill/ capital reserve if any.
Hope this clears your doubts..Cheers!
