If the subsidiary was established prior to the parent company, what are the possible complications? I.e. because the Holdings require higher initial capital the management decided that once the subsidiary generates revenue. the revenue can be use to fund the share capital of the parent.
On the establishment of the subsidiary the shareholders put more money over the share capital. can i transfer the excess of shareholders capital in the subsidiary to the parent company? what would be my entry?Please help.

Looking for an example of a company that has recorded a gain on a bargain purchase resulting from a business combination. Ideal if it was a mining company.

Dear All,
My question is that, in a situation of merger or business combination, where the structure is such that a new company A is formed to take over the businesses of B and C.
The question is whether IFRS 3 Business Combinations is applicable in this case as practically the entire IFRS 3 is based on an Acquirer and an Acquiree which are not present in this structure.
Thanks
Zuhar
