FG acquired 75% of the equity share capital of HI on 1 September 20X3. 

On the date of acquisition, the fair value of the net assets was the same as the carrying amount, with the exception of a contingent liability disclosed by HI and relating to a pending legal case. At 1 September 20X3, the contingent liability was independently valued at $1.2 million.

At the current year end, 31 March 20X5, the legal case is still outstanding. The fair value of the liability has now been estimated at $1.4 million, and the case is expected to be resolved in the forthcoming financial year.

How should this contingent liability be recorded in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 March 20X5?
