FM – Nov 2014 – L3 – SB – Q2 – Corporate Restructuring

Analyze divestment strategies for Chelsy Plc’s divisions, compute finance needs, and assess buyout and sale implications.

Question

Chelsy Plc has two manufacturing divisions, Bolts and Nuts. The Bolts division is profitable whereas the Nuts division is not. The company’s share price has consequently declined to 50 kobo per share from a price of N2.83 per share three years ago.

The board of directors is considering two proposals:
i. To cease trading and close down the company.
ii. To close the Nuts division and continue the Bolts division through a leveraged management buyout. The new company will continue to manufacture bolts only but will require an additional investment of N275 million to grow the Bolts division’s after-tax cash flows by 3.5 percent in perpetuity. The proceeds from the sale of the Nuts division will be applied to pay the division’s outstanding liabilities. The finance raised from the management buyout will be applied in paying any remaining liabilities, fund additional investment, and purchase the current equity shares at a premium of 20 percent.

The Nuts division is twice the size of the Bolts division in terms of the assets attributable to it.

Extracts from the most recent financial statements of Chelsy Plc are as follows:

Statement of Financial Position as at 31 December 2013

N’000
Non-current assets	605,000

The new company’s cost of capital is expected to be 11%.

Required:

(a) Discuss, briefly, the possible benefits of divesting Bolts division through a management buyout. (4 Marks)
(b) Estimate the return the creditors and the shareholders will receive in the event that Chelsy Plc is closed and all its assets sold. (3 Marks)

Evaluate if a manufacturing machine is impaired due to market changes and calculate the impairment charge.

Question

Atigen Manufacturing Limited bought a new machine for its factory in Otta, Ogun State, for N140 million on January 1, 2015. At acquisition, the machine was estimated to have a life span of 7 years with no scrap value. The carrying amount at December 31, 2017, is N80 million.

You are provided with the following information:

Fair value of the machine: N60 million
Selling costs: 5% of the fair value
Value-in-use based on discounted future cash flows: N63.5 million

Required:

a. Determine if the machine is impaired based on the above information. (6 Marks)

b. Calculate (if any) the impairment charge that the directors should recognize in profit or loss. (9 Marks)
