CR – Nov 2024 – L3 – Q4a – Corporate Reconstruction

Prepare the capital reduction account and the statement of financial position for Mensimah Ltd after reconstruction.

Mensimah LTD (Mensimah) has been experiencing poor trading conditions over the last three years. As a result, it has been difficult to generate revenues and profits in the current year leading to very high inventory levels. Also, Mensimah has defaulted in paying interest due to the loan note holders for two years. Even though the debentures are secured against the land & buildings, the loan note holders have demanded either a scheme of reconstruction or the liquidation of Mensimah.

As the above trading difficulties have significantly threatened the going concern status of Mensimah, the directors as well as representatives of the shareholders and loan holders in a meeting decided to design the following scheme of reconstruction:

  1. The assets were independently valued and should now be recognised at the following amounts:

    Asset Category Amount (GH¢)
    Land 64,000
    Building 64,000
    Plant & Equipment 24,000
    Inventory 40,000

    The value of Mensimah’s investment in Adams LTD has increased to GH¢48,000 and was to be sold as part of the reconstruction scheme. As for the trade receivables, it was determined that 10% of the stated value is non-recoverable and therefore would be written off.

  2. Each GH¢1 equity share is to be redesignated as an equity share of GH¢0.25. After this, the equity shareholders would be persuaded to accept a reduction in the nominal value of their shares from GH¢1 to GH¢0.25 per share and subscribe for a new issue based on one-for-one at a price of GH¢0.30 per share.

  3. The existing 5% loan notes are to be exchanged for a new issue of GH¢28,000 9.5% loan notes, repayable in 2028, plus 112,000 equity shares of GH¢0.25 each. In addition, they will subscribe for GH¢7,200 loan notes, repayable in 2028, at par value at the rate of 9.5%.

    The 8% loan notes holders who have not received any interest for the past two years, are to receive 16,000 equity shares of GH¢0.25 each in lieu of the interest payable. It is agreed that the value of the interest liability is equivalent to the fair value of the shares to be issued. Moreover, the 8% loan notes holders have agreed to defer repayment of their loan until 2028, on condition that they are paid a higher interest rate of 9.5%.

  4. The deficit on retained earnings is to be written off and the bank overdraft is to be repaid immediately.

Mensimah’s statement of financial position as at 31 December 2023 is as follows:

Assets GH¢’000
Non-current assets
Land & buildings 154,597
Plant & equipment 48,603
Investment in Adams LTD 21,600
Total Non-Current Assets 224,800
Current assets
Inventory 96,198
Receivables 56,554
Total Current Assets 152,752
Total Assets 377,552
Equity & Liabilities GH¢’000
Equity
Equity shares (GH¢1) 160,000
Retained earnings (31,857)
Total Equity 128,143
Non-current liabilities
8% loan notes 64,000
5% loan notes 56,000
Total Non-Current Liabilities 120,000
Current liabilities
Trade payables 89,798
Interest payable 10,240
Overdraft 29,371
Total Current Liabilities 129,409
Total Equity & Liabilities 377,552

Required:

i) Prepare the capital reduction account for Mensimah LTD. 
ii) Prepare the statement of Financial Position of Mensimah LTD immediately after the reconstruction.
iii) Determine the position of each stakeholder group if the reconstruction scheme is not implemented.

CR – Nov 2024 – L3 – Q2a – Lease Accounting and Foreign Exchange

Discuss lease accounting treatment and foreign exchange effects on lease payments.

On 1 January 2023, Fabin Ghana Airlines PLC (FGA) leased a new fuel-efficient aircraft from German Jets Builders PLC (GJB) for ten (10) years, with an option to extend the lease period for five (5) additional years. However, at lease inception, FGA determined that the renewal option was not economically beneficial and would not be exercised.

  • Fixed annual lease payments of €6 million, payable at each year-end starting 31 December 2023.
  • An additional 5% annual payment, conditional on FGA’s aircraft noise footprints and nitrogen oxide emissions declining by at least 15% and 10%, respectively.
  • At 31 December 2023, the Sustainability Committee determined that these environmental targets were met.

Additional lease details:

  • Estimated residual value of €15 million at 31 December 2032 and €10 million at 31 December 2037.
  • Residual Value Guarantee: FGA guaranteed that the relevant residual value will not drop below 30%.
  • Initial Direct Costs: GH¢500,000 was incurred in setting up the lease.
  • Discount Rate: 12%
  • Exchange Rates:
    • 1 January 2023: €1 = GH¢10
    • 31 December 2023: €1 = GH¢12
    • Average rate: €1 = GH¢11

Discount Factors at 12%:

CR – May 2021 – L3 – Q4 – Fair Value Measurement (IFRS 13)

Evaluate fair value relevance versus historical cost and explain valuation techniques under IFRS 13.

Required:

i. Discuss the view that fair value is a more relevant measure to use in corporate reporting than historical cost. (4 Marks)

ii. Discuss the valuation techniques in fair value measurement in accordance with IFRS 13. (4 Marks)
