Cod Co only - a company shall be considered as a Subsidiary, when a Parent or Holding company owns% or more of stocks of the former company. In this case, Seabass Co has a majority of seats on the board (more than% controlling interest).

Cod co will be consolidated since it's controlled by seabass. The interest in the other companies is treated as investments under equity or fair value method.

(C) - Cod Co only - a company shall be considered as a Subsidiary, when a Parent or Holding company owns% or more of stocks of the former company. In this case, Seabass Co has a majority of seats on the board (more than% controlling interest). Controlling interest and not the voting right should be the gauging factor to consider the company as subsidiary. All other companies are considered as affiliate or associate with less than% controlling interest.
