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

Question

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.

Prepare consolidated financial position of Makoko Group for the year ended Dec 31, 2021, and discuss accounting implications of significant influence.

Question

Makoko Intercontinental Holdings Limited is a global merchant of cash crops. A policy of strategic acquisitions over the years has placed the company in a position to source for export products competitively. The lockdown arising from the recent pandemic posed a significant challenge for the export of their products throughout the year 2020. At a board meeting to review the performance of the company for that year and discuss the impact of the pandemic, the Managing Director noted the significant drop in the general performance indices. In order to get a greater market presence and higher demand locally, the board decided to acquire the following investments on January 1, 2021:

60% of the equity share of Ojodu Limited;
50% of 10% loan notes of Ojodu Ltd at par;
40% stake in the ordinary shares of Egbeda Confectioneries Limited.

In the opinion of the board, both Ojodu Limited and Egbeda Confectioneries Limited are the biggest local customers of Makoko Intercontinental Holdings Limited and a control through shareholding would give the investing company greater stake in the operational decisions of the investee companies. Importantly, it would also boost revenue by allowing unrestricted access to local markets. It is believed that this will forestall any adverse impact of further lockdowns that may hinder export sales in the future.

The draft financial statements of the companies for the year are as follows:

Statements of financial position as at December 31, 2021

Additional Information:

Makoko Limited paid N90 million for the acquisition of Ojodu Limited when the retained earnings of Ojodu Limited were N13 million.
The fair value of Ojodu’s freehold property was N6.5 million higher than the carrying amount as at the date of acquisition. This valuation has not been reflected in the books of Ojodu Limited.
Makoko Limited paid N41 million for the shareholding in Egbeda Limited when the retained earnings of Egbeda Limited were N12 million.
An impairment test as at December 31, 2021 showed that goodwill was impaired by N3.5 million and the investment in Egbeda Limited was impaired by N0.8 million.
During the year, Makoko Limited sold products to Egbeda Limited at a price of N8 million. These goods had cost Makoko Limited N5 million. Half of the goods were still in the inventory of Egbeda Limited as at December 31, 2021.
The companies issued share capital has not changed since the date of acquisition.
No dividends were paid during the year.
Non-controlling interests in subsidiaries are to be measured at the appropriate proportion of the subsidiary’s identifiable net assets.

Required: a. Prepare the consolidated statement of financial position for the Makoko Group for the year ended December 31, 2021. (20 Marks)

b. The Directors of Makoko Intercontinental Holdings Limited are concerned about getting significant influence, if not absolute control, of all entities they intend to buy into. The five-year strategic plan of the company (2020 – 2024) focuses on having control of the cash crops segment of the agribusiness sector of the economy. This is in order to make them ready to roll out the next developmental phase of the business, which is to migrate from exporting raw products to finished products for industrial and household use.

Towards this goal, the board requires the Group Accountant to make a presentation on the accounting implications of gaining significant influence in another entity.

Required: Discuss the issues involved in the requirements of the Board as specified above. (5 Marks)

c. A friend to the Chief Accountant of Makoko Intercontinental Holdings Limited, who is a consultant to Ojodu Limited and Egbeda Confectionaries Limited, is requesting for information on the new acquisitions from his friend, the Chief Accountant.

Required: Identify the ethical issues involved in the above scenarios and their implications. (5 Marks)
