(a) On 1 January 2015, Palistar acquired 75% of Stretcher’s equity shares by means of an immediate share exchange of two shares in Palistar for five shares in Stretcher. The fair value of Palistar and Stretcher’s shares on 1 January 2015 were $4·00 and $3·00 respectively. In addition to the share exchange, Palistar will make a cash payment of $1·32 per acquired share, deferred until 1 January 2016. Palistar has not recorded any of the consideration for Stretcher in its financial statements. Palistar’s cost of capital is 10% per annum.

The summarised statements of financial position of the two companies as at 30 June 2015 are:

The following information is relevant:

(i) Stretcher’s business is seasonal and 60% of its annual profit is made in the period 1 January to 30 June each year.

(ii) At the date of acquisition, the fair value of Stretcher’s net assets was equal to their carrying amounts with the following exceptions:

An item of plant had a fair value of $2 million below its carrying value. At the date of acquisition it had a remaining life of two years.

The fair value of Stretcher’s investments was $7 million (see also note (v)).

Stretcher owned the rights to a popular mobile (cell) phone game. At the date of acquisition, a specialist valuer estimated that the rights were worth $12 million and had an estimated remaining life of five years.

(iii) Following an impairment review, consolidated goodwill is to be written down by $3 million as at 30 June 2015.

(iv) Palistar sells goods to Stretcher at cost plus 30%. Stretcher had $1·8 million of goods in its inventory at 30 June 2015 which had been supplied by Palistar. In addition, on 28 June 2015, Palistar processed the sale of $800,000 of goods to Stretcher, which Stretcher did not account for until their receipt on 2 July 2015. The in-transit reconciliation should be achieved by assuming the transaction had been recorded in the books of Stretcher before the year end. At 30 June 2015, Palistar had a trade receivable balance of $2·4 million due from Stretcher which differed to the equivalent balance in Stretcher’s books due to the sale made on 28 June 2015.

(v) At 30 June 2015, the fair values of the financial asset equity investments of Palistar and Stretcher were $13·2 million and $7·9 million respectively.

(vi) Palistar’s policy is to value the non-controlling interest at fair value at the date of acquisition. For this purpose Stretcher’s share price at that date is representative of the fair value of the shares held by the non-controlling interest.

(b) For many years, Dilemma has owned 35% of the voting shares and held a seat on the board of Myno which has given Dilemma significant influence over Myno. The other shares (65%) in Myno were held by many other shareholders who all owned less than 10% of the share capital. On this basis, Dilemma considered Myno to be an associate and has used equity accounting to account for its investment.

In March 2015, Agresso made an offer to buy all of the shares of Myno. The offer was supported by the majority of Myno’s directors. Dilemma did not accept the offer and held on to its shares in Myno.

On 1 April 2015, Agresso announced that it had acquired the other 65% of the share capital of Myno and immediately convened a board meeting at which three of the previous directors of Myno were replaced, including the seat held by Dilemma.

Required:

Explain how the investment in Myno should be treated in the consolidated statement of profit or loss of Dilemma for the year ended 30 June 2015 and the consolidated statement of financial position at 30 June 2015. (5 marks)

date, it acquired 75% of Tamsin Co’s equity shares by means of a share exchange of two new shares in Gregory Co for every five acquired shares in Tamsin Co. These shares were recorded at the market price on the day of the acquisition and were the only shares issued by Gregory Co during the year ended 31 March 20X6.

The summarised financial statements of Gregory Co as a single entity at 31 March 20X5 and as a group at 31 March 20X6 are:

Other information:

(i) Each month since the acquisition, Gregory Co’s sales to Tamsin Co were consistently $2m. Gregory Co had chosen to only make a gross profit margin of 10% on these sales as Tamsin Co is part of the group.

(ii) The values of property, plant and equipment held by both companies have been rising for several years.

(iii) On reviewing the above financial statements, Gregory Co’s chief executive officer (CEO) made the following observations:

(1) I see the profit for the year has increased by $1m which is up 20% on last year, but I thought it would be more as Tamsin Co was supposed to be a very profitable company.

(2) I have calculated the earnings per share (EPS) for 20X6 at 13 cents (6,000/46,000 x 100) and for 20X5 at 12·5 cents (5,000/40,000 x 100) and, although the profit has increased 20%, our EPS has barely changed.

(3) I am worried that the low price at which we are selling goods to Tamsin Co is undermining our group’s overall profitability.

(4) I note that our share price is now $2·30, how does this compare with our share price immediately before we bought Tamsin Co？

Required: (a) Reply to the four observations of the CEO. (8 marks)

(b) Using the above financial statements, calculate the following ratios for Gregory Co for the years ended 31 March 20X6 and 20X5 and comment on the comparative performance:

(i) Return on capital employed (ROCE)

(ii) Net asset turnover

(iii) Gross profit margin

(iv) Operating profit margin

Note: Four marks are available for the ratio calculations. (12 marks)

Note: Your answers to (a) and (b) should reflect the impact of the consolidation of Tamsin Co during the year ended 31 March 20X6.

hare exchange and a cash payment of 88 cents per acquired share, deferred until 1 April 2012. Pyramid has recorded the share exchange, but not the cash consideration. Pyramid’s cost of capital is 10% per annum.

The summarised statements of financial position of the two companies as at 31 March 2012 are:

The following information is relevant:

(i) At the date of acquisition, Pyramid conducted a fair value exercise on Square’s net assets which were equal to their carrying amounts with the following exceptions:

– An item of plant had a fair value of $3 million above its carrying amount. At the date of acquisition it had a remaining life of five years. Ignore deferred tax relating to this fair value.

– Square had an unrecorded deferred tax liability of $1 million, which was unchanged as at 31 March 2012.

Pyramid’s policy is to value the non-controlling interest at fair value at the date of acquisition. For this purpose a share price for Square of $3·50 each is representative of the fair value of the shares held by the non-controlling interest.

(ii) Immediately after the acquisition, Square issued $4 million of 11% loan notes, $2·5 million of which were bought by Pyramid. All interest due on the loan notes as at 31 March 2012 has been paid and received.

(iii) Pyramid sells goods to Square at cost plus 50%. Below is a summary of the recorded activities for the year ended 31 March 2012 and balances as at 31 March 2012:

On 26 March 2012, Pyramid sold and despatched goods to Square, which Square did not record until they were received on 2 April 2012. Square’s inventory was counted on 31 March 2012 and does not include any goods purchased from Pyramid.

On 27 March 2012, Square remitted to Pyramid a cash payment which was not received by Pyramid until 4 April 2012. This payment accounted for the remaining difference on the current accounts.

(iv) Pyramid bought 1·5 million shares in Cube on 1 October 2011; this represents a holding of 30% of Cube’s equity. At 31 March 2012, Cube’s retained profits had increased by $2 million over their value at 1 October 2011. Pyramid uses equity accounting in its consolidated financial statements for its investment in Cube.

(v) The other equity investments of Pyramid are carried at their fair values on 1 April 2011. At 31 March 2012, these had increased to $2·8 million.

(vi) There were no impairment losses within the group during the year ended 31 March 2012.

Required:

Prepare the consolidated statement of financial position for Pyramid as at 31 March 2012.

ts year end of 31 October

2005. The financial statements were authorised on 12 December 2005. The following events are relevant to the

financial statements for the year ended 31 October 2005:

(i) Ryder has a good record of ordinary dividend payments and has adopted a recent strategy of increasing its

dividend per share annually. For the last three years the dividend per share has increased by 5% per annum.

On 20 November 2005, the board of directors proposed a dividend of 10c per share for the year ended

31 October 2005. The shareholders are expected to approve it at a meeting on 10 January 2006, and a

dividend amount of $20 million will be paid on 20 February 2006 having been provided for in the financial

statements at 31 October 2005. The directors feel that a provision should be made because a ‘valid expectation’

has been created through the company’s dividend record. (3 marks)

(ii) Ryder disposed of a wholly owned subsidiary, Krup, a public limited company, on 10 December 2005 and made

a loss of $9 million on the transaction in the group financial statements. As at 31 October 2005, Ryder had no

intention of selling the subsidiary which was material to the group. The directors of Ryder have stated that there

were no significant events which have occurred since 31 October 2005 which could have resulted in a reduction

in the value of Krup. The carrying value of the net assets and purchased goodwill of Krup at 31 October 2005

were $20 million and $12 million respectively. Krup had made a loss of $2 million in the period 1 November

2005 to 10 December 2005. (5 marks)

(iii) Ryder acquired a wholly owned subsidiary, Metalic, a public limited company, on 21 January 2004. The

consideration payable in respect of the acquisition of Metalic was 2 million ordinary shares of $1 of Ryder plus

a further 300,000 ordinary shares if the profit of Metalic exceeded $6 million for the year ended 31 October

2005. The profit for the year of Metalic was $7 million and the ordinary shares were issued on 12 November

2005. The annual profits of Metalic had averaged $7 million over the last few years and, therefore, Ryder had

included an estimate of the contingent consideration in the cost of the acquisition at 21 January 2004. The fair

value used for the ordinary shares of Ryder at this date including the contingent consideration was $10 per share.

The fair value of the ordinary shares on 12 November 2005 was $11 per share. Ryder also made a one for four

bonus issue on 13 November 2005 which was applicable to the contingent shares issued. The directors are

unsure of the impact of the above on earnings per share and the accounting for the acquisition. (7 marks)

(iv) The company acquired a property on 1 November 2004 which it intended to sell. The property was obtained

as a result of a default on a loan agreement by a third party and was valued at $20 million on that date for

accounting purposes which exactly offset the defaulted loan. The property is in a state of disrepair and Ryder

intends to complete the repairs before it sells the property. The repairs were completed on 30 November 2005.

The property was sold after costs for $27 million on 9 December 2005. The property was classified as ‘held for

sale’ at the year end under IFRS5 ‘Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations’ but shown at

the net sale proceeds of $27 million. Property is depreciated at 5% per annum on the straight-line basis and no

depreciation has been charged in the year. (5 marks)

(v) The company granted share appreciation rights (SARs) to its employees on 1 November 2003 based on ten

million shares. The SARs provide employees at the date the rights are exercised with the right to receive cash

equal to the appreciation in the company’s share price since the grant date. The rights vested on 31 October

2005 and payment was made on schedule on 1 December 2005. The fair value of the SARs per share at

31 October 2004 was $6, at 31 October 2005 was $8 and at 1 December 2005 was $9. The company has

recognised a liability for the SARs as at 31 October 2004 based upon IFRS2 ‘Share-based Payment’ but the

liability was stated at the same amount at 31 October 2005. (5 marks)
