                                The following scenario relates to questions 1–5.
Scenario 
On 1 April 20X3, Polestar Co acquired 75% of the 12 million 50 cent equity shares of Southstar Co. Polestar Co made an immediate cash payment of $1.50 per share. The statements of profit or loss for the year ended 30 September 20X3 show revenue for Polestar Co and Southstar Co as $110million and $66million respectively.
Additional information:
At the date of acquisition, the fair values of Southstar Co's assets were equal to their carrying amounts with the exception of right-of-use property held under a lease agreement. This had a fair value of $2 million above its carrying amount and a remaining lease term of ten years at that date. All depreciation is included in cost of sales. 
Contingent consideration was estimated to be $1.8 million at 1 April 20X3, but by 30 September 20X3 due to continuing losses, its value was estimated at only $1.5 million. The contingent consideration has not been recorded by Polestar Co and the directors expect the acquisition to be a bargain purchase. 
Polestar sold materials at their cost of $4 million to Southstar Co in June 20X3. Southstar Co processed all of these materials at an additional cost of $1.4 million and sold them back to Polestar Co in August 20X3 for $9 million. At 30 September 20X3 Polestar Co had $1.5 million of these goods still in inventory. There were no other intragroup sales. 
Polestar Co's policy is to value the non-controlling interest at fair value at the date of acquisition. Southstar Co's share price of $1.20 per share at that date can be deemed to be representative of the fair value of the shares held by the non-controlling interest. The retained earnings of Southstar at the acquisition date were $14.3 million. 
 
REQUIREMENT 
Polestar Co measures the non-controlling interest in Southstar Co at fair value.
Which of the following applies when non-controlling interest is measured at fair value?

REQUIREMENT 
Due to lower than expected profits of the acquired company, Southstar Co, the estimated value of the contingent consideration has fallen from $1.8million to $1.5million.

REQUIREMENT 
What is the amount of the adjustment to profit attributable to the non-controlling interest in respect of unrealised profit?
