CR – Mar 2024 – L3 – Q3b – IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers

This question discusses the treatment of advance payments and significant financing components under IFRS 15 for Tieku Technologies.

On 1 December 2022, Pinto Ltd (Pinto), a public company, acquired 70% of the ordinary share capital of Manpam Inc (Manpam), a private company in Liberia. The functional currency of Pinto is the GH¢, and the functional currency of Manpam is the Liberian Dollar (LS). Pinto paid GH¢39.1 million for its investment in Manpam on 1 December 2022, when the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed of Manpam were LS22,440 million.

Given that Manpam is a private company, Pinto decided to measure the non-controlling interests at acquisition at the proportionate share of the fair value of the identifiable net assets of Manpam. An impairment test conducted at the group level on the investment in Manpam at 31 December 2023 indicated an impairment loss on goodwill of LS357 million (attributable to Pinto). No impairment loss adjustments had been necessary at the previous year end.

Relevant exchange rates were:

  • 1 December 2022: GH¢1 = LS470
  • 31 December 2022: GH¢1 = LS478
  • 31 December 2023: GH¢1 = LS490

Required:
In accordance with IFRS, calculate the goodwill figure to be recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position of Pinto for the year ended 31 December 2023 (to the nearest GH¢0.1 million).
