CR – Nov 2014 – L3 – SA – Q1 – Consolidated Financial Statements (IFRS 10)

Prepare a consolidated statement of financial position for Bagat Plc, incorporating details on acquisitions, impairments, and inter-company balances.

Bagat Plc has two subsidiaries (Megat and Mingat) and one associate (Cagat). Since the adoption of IFRS by Government Bagat has been preparing its consolidated financial statements in accordance with the principles of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The draft Statements of Financial Position of Bagat and its two subsidiaries as at 31 May 2013 are as follows:

Draft Statements of Financial Position as at 31 May 2013

The following information is relevant to the preparation of the group financial statements:

i. On 1 June, 2012, Bagat acquired 80% of the equity interest of Megat Plc. On the date of acquisition, the retained earnings of Megat were N2.72 billion and other components of equity were N80 million. There had been no new issue of capital by Megat since the date of acquisition. The purchase consideration comprised cash of N6 billion whereas the fair value of the identifiable net assets of Megat on this date was N8 billion. The excess of the fair value of the net assets is due to an increase in the value of non-depreciable land. An independent valuer has stated that the fair value of the non-controlling interests in Megat was N1.72 billion on 1 June, 2012. It is the policy of Bagat to measure non-controlling interests on the basis of their proportionate share in the identifiable net assets of the acquired subsidiary and not at fair value (full goodwill method).

ii. Also on 1 June, 2012, Bagat acquired 70% of the ordinary shares of Mingat. The consideration for the acquisition of these shares was N2.56 billion. Under the purchase agreement of 1 June, 2012, Bagat is required to pay the former shareholders of Mingat 30% of the profits of Mingat on 31 May, 2014 for each of the financial years to 31 May, 2013 and 31 May, 2014. The fair value of this arrangement was estimated at N120 million at 1 June, 2012, and this value has not changed. This amount has not been included in the financial statements. The fair value of the identifiable net assets at 1 June, 2012 of Mingat was N3.52 billion and the retained earnings and other components of equity were N1.1 billion and N140 million respectively. There had been no new issue of share capital by Mingat since the date of acquisition and the excess of the fair value of the net assets is due to an increase in the value of property, plant, and equipment (PPE). The fair value of the non-controlling interests in Mingat was N1.06 billion on this date. PPE is depreciated on a straight-line basis over seven years.

iii. Finally, Bagat acquired a 25% interest in Cagat Plc on 1 June, 2012 for N400 million achieving significant influence over that company in its financial and operating policy decisions. Cagat Plc retained earnings for the year to 31 May, 2013 was N200 million.

iv. Included in trade receivables of Bagat at 31 May, 2013 is a receivable from Megat of N30 million. Unknown to Bagat, Megat has paid this amount through a bank transfer by the close of work on 31 May, 2013, but it had not yet been reflected in the bank statement of Bagat. Megat has already passed accounting entries to reflect this transaction.

v. Goodwill arising on the purchase of Mingat was tested for impairment on 31 May, 2013, and this provided evidence of impairment to the tune of N36 million. No accounting entries have been passed to reflect the impairment.

You are a manager in Puposola & Company (Chartered Accountants) responsible for the audit of the Honey Group (the Group), a quoted company. The Group’s main activity is steel manufacturing and it comprises of a parent company and three subsidiaries. Your firm currently audits all components of the Group. You are working on the audit of the Group’s financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2017. This morning, the audit engagement partner left a note for you.

“Hello

I have gone through the draft consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes which summarise the key audit findings and some background information.

Although, at the planning stage, materiality was initially determined to be N900,000, and was calculated based on the assumption that Honey Group is a high-risk client due to its listing status. However, due to a number of issues that arose during the audit, there is a need to revise the materiality level for the financial statements as a whole. The revised level of materiality should now be N700,000.

Thank you.”

The Group’s draft consolidated financial statements, with notes referenced to key audit findings, are shown below:

  2. Operating expenses for the year to June 2017 is shown net of profit on a property disposal of N2 million. Our evidence includes agreeing the cash receipts to the bank statement and sale documentation, and we have confirmed that the property has been removed from the non-current asset register. The audit junior noted when reviewing the sale document that there is an option to repurchase the property in five years’ time, but did not discuss the matter with management.
  3. The property revaluation relates to the Group’s head office. The audit team has not obtained evidence on the revaluation, as the gain was immaterial based on the initial calculation of materiality.
  4. The actuarial loss is attributed to an unexpected stock market crash. The Group’s pension plan is managed by Axial Company, a firm of independent fund managers who maintain the necessary accounting records relating to the plan. Axial Company has supplied written representation as to the value of the defined benefit plan’s assets and liabilities at June 30, 2017.

CR – May 2021 – L3 – Q2b – Disposal Group

Discuss the accounting treatment for Berko Ltd.’s sale of shares in Jamila Ltd in the consolidated financial statements.

Berko Ltd acquired all the equity shares in Jamila Ltd on 1 January 2018 for a consideration of GH¢1,250 million. The carrying amount and fair value of the identifiable net assets at acquisition were GH¢1,230 million. On 31 December 2020, Berko Ltd was in the process of selling its entire shareholding in Jamila Ltd, and so it was decided that Jamila Ltd should be treated as a disposal group held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5: Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations at that date. The carrying amounts of Jamila Ltd’s net assets before classification as held for sale at 31 December 2020 in the individual statement of financial position are as follows:

GH¢’million
Property, plant, and equipment 836
Intangibles (excluding goodwill) 428
Current assets (at recoverable amount) 584
Non-current liabilities (322)
Current liabilities (254)
Total net assets 1,272

The group has a policy of revaluing its property, plant, and equipment in accordance with IAS 16: Property, Plant, and Equipment. There have been no revaluations or any other gains or losses included within Jamila Ltd’s different components of equity since the date of acquisition as the carrying amount was deemed to be a close enough approximation to its fair value. However, on 31 December 2020, property with a carrying amount of GH¢330 million was considered to have a fair value of GH¢340 million. No adjustment has yet been made for this fair value. The total fair value less costs to sell the disposal group at 31 December was estimated to be GH¢1,220 million. There have been no previous impairments to the goodwill of Jamila Ltd.

Required:
Recommend to the directors of Berko Ltd how the above transaction should be accounted for in the consolidated financial statements as at 31 December 2020 including financial statement extracts in accordance with relevant International Financial Reporting Standards.

Bank 0 600
Total current assets 18,000 8,000
Total assets 57,400 35,800

Additional relevant information:
i) Kingdom Ltd acquired 60% of the share capital of Paradise Ltd on 1 April 2019. The purchase consideration was settled by a share exchange transaction of two shares in Kingdom Ltd for every three acquired shares in Paradise Ltd. The share price of Kingdom Ltd at the acquisition date was GH¢3 per share. In addition, Kingdom Ltd will also pay cash consideration of GH¢0.275 on 1 April 2020 for each acquired share in Paradise Ltd. Kingdom Ltd’s cost of capital is 10% per annum. None of the consideration has been recorded by Kingdom Ltd.

ii) The fair values of Paradise Ltd’s net assets and liabilities were equal to their carrying amounts at the date of acquisition with the exception of Paradise’s property, which had a fair value of GH¢8 million above its carrying amount. For the purpose of consolidation, this led to an increase in depreciation charges (in cost of sales) of GH¢200,000 in the post-acquisition period to 31 December 2019. Paradise Ltd has not incorporated the fair value of property increase into its entity’s financial statements.

iii) The policy of Kingdom Ltd group is to value all properties to fair value at each year end. On 31 December 2019, the increase in Kingdom Ltd’s property has already been recorded. However, a further increase of GH¢1.2 million in the value of Paradise Ltd’s property since its value at acquisition to 31 December 2019 has not yet been recorded.

iv) Kingdom Ltd made sales to Paradise Ltd throughout the year 2019 and it had consistently been GH¢600,000 per month. Kingdom Ltd made a mark-up of 25% on all of these sales. A total of GH¢1.2 million (at cost to Paradise) of Paradise Ltd’s inventory at 31 December 2019 had been supplied by Kingdom Ltd during the post-acquisition period.

v) At 31 December 2019, Kingdom Ltd had a trade receivable balance owing from Paradise Ltd of GH¢2.4 million. However, this did not agree to the equivalent trade payable of Paradise Ltd as a result of a payment by Paradise Ltd of GH¢800,000 made in December 2019, which did not reflect in Kingdom Ltd’s bank account until 4 January 2020. Kingdom Ltd’s policy for cash timing differences is to adjust the parent’s financial statements.

vi) Kingdom Ltd on December 2019, accepted a GH¢1 million 10% loan note from Paradise Ltd.

vii) At 31 December 2019, the goodwill that arose on acquisition was impaired by GH¢1 million. Kingdom Ltd has a policy of treating goodwill impairment as part of administrative expense.

viii) It is the policy of Kingdom Ltd group to value the non-controlling interest at fair value. For this purpose, Paradise Ltd’s share price was trading at GH¢2.50 each at the acquisition date.

ix) Assume that all items of income and expenditure accrue evenly throughout the year except where indicated otherwise.

Required:
a) Prepare the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for Kingdom Ltd group for the year ended 31 December 2019. (10 marks)

FR – Nov 2017 – L2 – Q1a – Group Financial Statements and Consolidation

This question tests candidates on the calculation of goodwill for an acquisition and the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS.

Spacefon Ltd (Spacefon), in its quest to gain dominance in the telecommunication industry, bought an 80% holding in the equity of Buzz and 40% of the equity shares of Kasapa Ltd (Kasapa) on 1 July 2017. The purchase price of the investment of Buzz Ltd (Buzz) was agreed at GH¢4,400 million, of which GH¢1,600 million was paid in cash. The remaining balance was paid by issuing 800 million equity shares each of GH¢1 nominal value to the seller at their then fair value of GH¢3.50 each. The 20% non-controlling interest in Buzz had a fair value of GH¢900 million at that date. Buzz’s net assets had a fair value of GH¢4,700 million on 1 July 2017. Spacefon applies the fair value method to calculate goodwill on acquisition.

The following statements of comprehensive income relate to Spacefon and its investee companies, Buzz and Kasapa.

Additional Information:

  1. Included in the fair value of Buzz’s net assets on the acquisition date was some machinery owned by Buzz but carried at GH¢90 million below its fair value.

The useful economic life of this machinery at the acquisition date was estimated to be six years.
  2. During the post-acquisition period, Buzz sold goods to Spacefon for GH¢50 million. These goods were sold by Buzz at a profit of 30 pesewas per GH¢1 on the sales price, and 40% of the goods remained in the inventory of Spacefon at 31 October 2017.
  3. Since acquiring its investment in Buzz, Spacefon has managed the administration of the entire group. Spacefon invoiced Buzz GH¢4 million for its share of these costs. Spacefon recorded this transaction within “other income,” and Buzz recorded it within “operating expenses.”
  4. The goodwill of Buzz was reviewed for impairment at 31 October 2017 and was found to have a recoverable amount of GH¢400 million. There was no impairment of the investment in Kasapa.
  5. On 1 October 2017, Spacefon sold some land to Kasapa for GH¢12 million, recording a profit of GH¢8 million. This profit is included within “other income” in the books of Spacefon.

(Note: All calculations may be taken to the nearest GH¢0.01 million, and assume all expenses and gains accrue evenly throughout the year unless otherwise instructed.)
