HKFRS News 

Apr 2008  

In this newsletter, we look at the following topic:
  
Carve-out/combined financial statements
   
IFRS/HKFRS provides very limited guidance on the preparation of carve-out/combined financial statements.  This newsletter addresses some of the commonly asked questions on it, including: 

  • What are 'carve-out' and 'combined' financial statements and what is the difference with pro forma financial statements?
     
  • When can carve-out/combined financial statements be prepared? And what are the regulatory requirements and market practice regarding this preparation?
            
  • Practical challenges faced in the preparation of combined/carve-out financial statements (e.g. definition of a 'reporting entity', the allocation principles for assets, liabilities, income and expenses, income taxes, debt and interest expenses).
