However, the share of unrealized profits from intercompany transactions is not different, instead, these unrealized gains or losses are removed from the parent’s retained earnings in the period after the intercompany sale, and in that case, the parent’s net income is usually not equal to the amount of consolidated net income allocated to the controlling interest.
