Dear Bhupender,

Please note the following (from the AS)

" If an enterprise makes two or more investments in another enterprise at

different dates and eventually obtains control of the other enterprise, the

consolidated financial statements are presented only from the date on which

holding-subsidiary relationship comes in existence. "

From the above it is clear that consolidation should be prepared from the date on which holding subsidiary relatio ship comes.

And subsidiary relationship comes when a company holds more than 50% shares

Since consolidated financial statements are presented from the date on which holding subsidiary relation exists, all the profits & reserves of 49.09% will be of pre acquisition.
