Hi Soon Huat,
Minority interest in income statement represents the proportionate income/loss of the minority shareholder’s interest, while the minority interest in balance sheet refers to the equity portion (which is the asset less liability of the minority interest).
For stock valuation, we use “net profit available to ordinary shareholders” in income statement as well as “ordinary shareholder’s equity” in balance sheet as we’re ordinary shareholders.
Examples are also given in the previous webinar.
Sorry that we missed your question in the last webinar. We will talk more details about it in the coming webinar.
