McKinney Enterprises acquired Pottsboro, Inc. as a wholly-owned subsidiary on January 1, 2019 paying $1,750,000. The $440,000 excess of cost over book value of Pottsboros net assets was partly attributable to a patent undervalued by $210,000. The patent has a 10-year life. The remaining excess is considered goodwill. The parent uses the cost method of pre-consolidation Equity investment bookkeeping. The separate financial statements of the two companies for 2022 are presented below. Neither company issued additional shares after the acquisition Pottsboro by McKinney.
