30 NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE FINANCIAL YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2023 3 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) (a) Basis of consolidation and investment in subsidiaries (continued) Acquisition accounting (continued) If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date carrying value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss. Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the Group is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration that is deemed to be an asset or liability is recognised in accordance with MFRS 9 in profit or loss. Contingent consideration that is classified as equity is not re-measured, and its subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the acquisition-date fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired is recognised as goodwill. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest recognised and previously held interest measured is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired in the case of a bargain purchase, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss (Note 3(d)). Predecessor accounting Acquisitions of subsidiaries and businesses under common control that meet the conditions of a merger are accounted for using the predecessor basis of accounting. The acquisitions of Felda Global Ventures North America Sdn. Bhd. (“FGVNA”) and plantation estates owned by Federal Land Development Authority (“FELDA”) in prior financial years, which met the conditions of a merger have been accounted for using that basis. Under the predecessor basis of accounting, the results of subsidiaries and businesses under common control are presented as if the business combination had been effected throughout the current and previous years. The assets and liabilities combined are accounted for based on the carrying amounts from the perspective of the common control shareholder at the date of transfer. On consolidation, the cost of the business combination is cancelled with the values of the shares received. Any resulting credit or debit difference is classified as reorganisation reserve. Any share premium, capital redemption reserve and any other reserves which are attributable to share capital of the combined entities, to the extent that they have not been capitalised by a debit difference, are reclassified and presented as movement in other capital reserves. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealised gains on transactions between group companies are eliminated, unrealised losses are also eliminated unless cost cannot be recovered. Where necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group. Non-controlling interests is the equity in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. On an acquisition-by-acquisition basis, the Group measures any non-controlling interests in the acquiree at the non-controlling interests’ proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. At the end of reporting period, non-controlling interests consists of amount calculated on the date of combinations and its share of changes in the subsidiary’s equity since the date of combination. The gain or loss on disposal of a subsidiary is the difference between net disposal proceeds and the Group’s share of its net assets as of the date of disposal including the cumulative amount of any exchange differences or other reserves that relate to the subsidiary and is recognised in profit or loss.
