In addition, whereas the consolidated income statement prepared immediately before (or immediately after) the combination will consist of only the parent’s revenues and expenses, an income statement prepared after an operating period will include the subsidiaries’ revenues and expenses as well as the result of post-combination transactions on the revenues and expenses of the parent.
