Consolidated Financial Statements,” the FASB considered three alternatives for
displaying the noncontrolling interest in the consolidated balance sheet
What were these three alternatives?
What criteria did the FASB use to evaluate the desirability of each alternative?
The FASB evaluated whether the classifications conformed to current definitions
In what specific ways did FASB Concept Statement 6 affect the FASB’s evaluation
of these alternatives?
From SFAS 160 paragraphs 32-34
If it required that the noncontrolling interest be reported in the mezzanine,

The Board concluded that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary does
not meet the definition of a liability in the Board’s conceptual framework.
The Board concluded that a noncontrolling interest represents the
residual interest in the net assets of a subsidiary within the consolidated
