15 February 2008 all the balance sheet items of the US unit should be converted at the closing rate of the balance sheet & all the profit & loss account items are to be converted at the average rate for the year.

All the items are to be added by line by line & the inter unit transfers / income / expenses are to be eliminated.

all the exchange fluctuations are to treated as foreign exchange fluctuation reserve account under the balance sheet - Reserves & Surplus.

This is how consolidation is all about.

Please read AS 21 for the details
