CR – May 2017 – L3 – Q4 – Revenue Recognition (IFRS 15)

Advise on the correct accounting treatment for transactions involving contracts, licences, and purchase of components.

Dango Plc is a conglomerate company operating in Nigeria with diverse interests across Africa. It prepares its financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards with a year-end of September 30. The following transactions relate to Dango Plc.

(a) In February 2016, Dango Plc won a significant new contract to supply large quantities of rice to the government of Guyama, a small West African country, for the next two years. Under the terms of the arrangement, payment is made in cash on delivery once goods have been cleared by customs. The rice will be delivered in batches four (4) times every year, on April 1, July 1, October 1, and January 1. The batches for April 1, 2016, and July 1, 2016, amounting to N250 million and N380 million respectively, were delivered and paid. Dango incurred significant costs on customs duties for the first batch of delivery. The October 1 batch, valued at N520 million, was shipped prior to the year-end but delivered and paid for on October 1, 2016.

(b) On October 1, 2010, a 12-year licence was awarded to Dango Plc by the Federal Government to be the sole manufacturer of a chemical used in the Nigerian pharmaceutical industry. The licence was recognised on that date at its fair value of N196 million. The award of the licence motivated Dango Plc in 2011 to purchase a division of another Nigerian competitor company making similar products. Goodwill of N240 million was recognised on the purchase of the division. Dango Plc merged the activities of the newly acquired division with its own to create a specialist chemical sub-division, which it now classifies as a separate cash-generating unit. By 2016, the revenue of this cash-generating unit now amounts to 5% of the Group’s revenue.

(c) Dango Plc buys raw materials from overseas suppliers. It has recently taken delivery of 1,000 units of component X, used in the production of chemicals. The quoted price of component X was N1,200 per unit, but Dango Plc has negotiated a trade discount of 5% due to the size of the order. The supplier offers an early settlement discount of 2% for payment within 30 days, and Dango Plc intends to achieve this. Import duties of N60 per unit must be paid before the goods are released through customs. Once the goods are released, Dango Plc must pay a delivery cost of N5,000 to have the components taken to its warehouse.

Required:
Write a report to the directors advising them on the correct accounting treatment of the above transactions in the financial statements for the year ended September 30, 2016, in accordance with the provisions of the relevant standards.

Note: You may consider the relevance of the following standards to the transactions: IAS 20, IAS 2, IAS 38, IFRS 3, and IFRS 15.

CR – May 2017 – L3 – Q1 – Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation (IAS 21)

Assess functional currency and prepare a consolidated statement of financial position under IFRS.

Rapuya Plc. is a Nigerian public limited company operating in the mining industry. The draft Statements of Financial Position of Rapuya Plc., and its two subsidiaries, Puta Limited and Soma Limited as at April 30, 2017, are as follows:

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

(i) On May 1, 2016, Rapuya acquired 52% of the ordinary shares of Soma Limited, a foreign subsidiary. The retained earnings of Soma Limited on this date were 220 million defas. The fair value of the identifiable net assets of Soma Limited on May 1, 2016, was 990 million defas. The excess of the fair value over the net assets of Soma Limited is due to an increase in the value of non-depreciable land.

Rapuya Plc. wishes to use the ‘full goodwill’ method to consolidate the financial statements of Soma. The fair value of the non-controlling interest in Soma Limited at May 1, 2016, was 500 million defas.

Soma Limited is located in Tome, a small country in West Africa, and operates a mine. The income of Soma Limited is denominated and settled in defas. The output of the mine is routinely traded in defas, and its price is determined initially by local supply and demand. Soma Limited pays 30% of its costs and expenses in naira, with the remainder being incurred locally and settled in defas. Soma’s management has a considerable degree of authority and autonomy in carrying out the operations of Soma Limited and is not dependent upon group companies for financial support. The Finance Controller is not certain from the above whether the defas or naira should be taken as the functional currency of Soma Limited.

There have been no issues of ordinary shares and no impairment of goodwill since acquisition.

(ii) Also on May 1, 2016, Rapuya Plc. had acquired 70% of the equity interests of Puta Limited. The purchase consideration amounted to N226 million, which Rapuya Plc. paid through bank transfer in compliance with the cashless policy of the Federal Government of Nigeria. The fair value of the identifiable net assets recognized by Puta Limited was N240 million, excluding the patent below. The identifiable net assets of Puta Limited at May 1, 2016, included a brand with a fair value of N8 million. This had not been recognized in the financial statements of Puta Limited. The brand is estimated to have a useful life of four years. The retained earnings of Puta Limited were N98 million, and other components of equity were N6 million at the date of acquisition. The remaining excess of the fair value of the net assets is due to an increase in the value of non-depreciable land.

Rapuya Plc. wishes to use the ‘full goodwill’ method in consolidating the financial statements of this subsidiary. The fair value of the non-controlling interest in Puta Limited was N92 million on May 1, 2016. There have been no issues of ordinary shares since acquisition, and goodwill on acquisition is not impaired.

(iii) The following exchange rates are relevant for the preparation of the group financial statements:

Defas to Naira Exchange Rate
May 1, 2016 3:1
April 30, 2017 2.5:1
Average for year to April 30, 2017 2.9:1

Required:

(a) Advise the Finance Controller on what currency should be taken as the functional currency of Soma Limited, applying the principles set out in IAS 21 – The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates. (5 Marks)

CR – May 2021 – L3 – Q4 – Business Combinations (IFRS 3)

Evaluate the impact of restructuring plans on individual and group accounts for Tanimo PLC and its subsidiaries.

Emili PLC and Wagbo PLC are both public limited companies wholly owned by Tanimo PLC, also a public limited company. Tanimo group PLC operates in the agro-allied industry; but the directors felt that the current structure does not serve their intended purpose and are therefore considering two different restructuring plans for the group.

The statements of financial position of Tanimo PLC and its subsidiaries Emili PLC and Wagbo PLC as at May 31, 2021, are as follows:

Statements of Financial Position as at May 31, 2021

Item Tanimo PLC (Nm) Emili PLC (Nm) Wagbo PLC (Nm)
Property, Plant, and Equipment 600 200 45
Cost of Investment in Emili PLC 60 – –
Cost of Investment in Wagbo PLC 70 – –
Net Current Assets 160 100 20
Total Assets 890 300 65
Equity & Liabilities:
Share Capital (Ordinary Shares of N1 each) 120 60 40
Retained Earnings 770 240 25
Total Equity & Liabilities 890 300 65

Tanimo PLC acquired the investment in Wagbo PLC on June 1, 2015, when the company’s retained earnings balance was N20 million. The fair value of the net assets of Wagbo PLC on June 1, 2015, was N60 million.

Emili PLC was incorporated by Tanimo PLC on June 1, 2015, and has always been a wholly owned subsidiary. The fair value of the net assets of Emili PLC as at May 31, 2021, was N310 million, and of Wagbo PLC, it was N80 million. The fair values of the net current assets of both Emili PLC and Wagbo PLC are approximately the same as their carrying amounts.

The directors are not certain what effects the following plans would have on the individual accounts of the companies and the group accounts. Local companies’ legislation requires that the amount at which share capital is recorded is dictated by the nominal value of the shares issued, and if the value of the consideration received exceeds that amount, the excess is recorded in the share premium account. Shares cannot be issued at a discount. In the case of a share-for-share exchange, the value of the consideration can be deemed to be the carrying amount of the investment exchanged.

It is the group’s policy to value non-controlling interests at its proportionate share of the fair value of the subsidiary’s identifiable net assets.

The two different plans to restructure the group are as follows:

  1. Plan 1
    • Emili PLC is to purchase the whole of Tanimo’s PLC investment in Wagbo PLC.
    • The directors are undecided as to whether the purchase consideration should be 50 million N1 ordinary shares of Emili PLC or a cash amount of N75 million.
  2. Plan 2
    • The assets and trade of Wagbo PLC are to be transferred to Emili PLC at their carrying amount.
    • Wagbo PLC would initially become a non-trading company.
    • The consideration for the transfer will be N60 million, which will be left outstanding on the intercompany account between Emili PLC and Wagbo PLC.

Required:

Discuss the key considerations and the accounting implications of the above plans for the Tanimo PLC group. Your answer should show the potential impact on the individual accounts of Tanimo PLC, Emili PLC, and Wagbo PLC and the group accounts after each plan has been implemented.

CR – Nov 2021 – L3 – Q1 – Consolidated Financial Statements (IFRS 10)

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

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:

  1. Makoko Limited paid N90 million for the acquisition of Ojodu Limited when the retained earnings of Ojodu Limited were N13 million.
  2. 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.
  3. Makoko Limited paid N41 million for the shareholding in Egbeda Limited when the retained earnings of Egbeda Limited were N12 million.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. The companies issued share capital has not changed since the date of acquisition.
  7. No dividends were paid during the year.
  8. 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.

Additional relevant information:
i) Bolga Ltd purchased 80% of Navrongo Ltd’s three million GH¢5 ordinary shares for GH¢12 million two years ago. At the acquisition date, the carrying value of Navrongo’s net assets was GH¢10 million, and this was deemed to be the same as their fair value. The non-controlling interest was measured using the proportion of net assets method. Goodwill on acquisition of Navrongo is not impaired. On 31 October 2019, Bolga Ltd sold one million, four hundred and forty thousand of its shares in Navrongo Ltd for GH¢13 million. The fair value of the interest retained was GH¢19 million. The retained earnings of Navrongo Ltd was GH¢5 million as at April 30, 2019. The only entry posted in Bolga Ltd’s individual financial statements was the GH¢13 million cash received. This was debited to the bank account and the credit posted to the suspense account.

ii) On 1 May 2019, Bolga Ltd acquired 60% of Serrekunda Ltd’s one million GMD1 ordinary shares for GMD284 million. Serrekunda is a Gambian-based company with Gambian Dalasi (GMD) as its currency. The non-controlling interest at acquisition was valued at GMD116 million using the fair value method. At 1 May 2019, the carrying amount of Serrekunda Ltd’s net assets was GMD240 million but the fair value was GMD280 million. The excess in the fair value was due to a brand with a remaining useful economic life of 5 years at the date of acquisition.

On 30 April 2020, it was determined that goodwill arising on the purchase of Serrekunda Ltd was impaired by GMD16 million. Goodwill impairments are charged as administrative expenses.

iii) On 28 February 2020, Navrongo Ltd paid a dividend of GH¢2 million to its ordinary shareholders.

iv) On 1 June 2019, Bolga Ltd started construction of a new building project and financed this out of its general borrowings.

All the interest for the year has been expensed to the statement of profit or loss. None of the loan notes are held by any other companies within Bolga Ltd.

v) On 1 November 2019, Bolga Ltd granted 20,000 share options to each of its 100 managers. These options will vest on 31 October 2021 if the managers are still employed.

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.

FR – May 2021 – L2 – Q1a – Calculation of Goodwill in Consolidation

Calculate goodwill for Abirem at acquisition and at reporting for a group financial statement consolidation.

Tafo Group is a key player in the food processing industry made up only of Tafo Ltd (Tafo) and Abirem Ltd (Abirem). Below are the consolidated statement of comprehensive income of Tafo Group and the separate statements of comprehensive income of Tafo and Bonsu Ltd (Bonsu) for the year ended 31 December 2020.

Statements of Comprehensive Income for the Year Ended 31 December 2020

GH¢ Million Tafo Group Tafo Bonsu
Revenue 116 90 25
Cost of Sales (78) (62) (15)
Gross Profit 38 28 10
Distribution Costs (7) (5) (1.6)
Administrative Expenses (11) (7.5) (3.4)
Finance Costs (8.5) (2) (0.5)
Investment Income 6 5.3 –
Profit Before Tax 17.5 18.8 4.5
Tax (5.6) (4.8) (1.5)
Profit for the Year 11.9 14 3
Other Comprehensive Income
Gain on Revaluation (Net of Tax) 4.5 3.4 –
Total Comprehensive Income 16.4 17.4 3

Additional Information:

  1. Tafo purchased 80% of the 10 million ordinary shares (all issued at GH¢2 each) of Abirem on 1 January 2020 when the balance of Abirem’s reserves was GH¢35 million. Tafo agreed to settle the consideration in two unconditional instalments as follows:
    • Cash payment of GH¢33 million on 1 January 2021.
    • Cash payment of GH¢30.25 million on 1 January 2022.

    The policy of the group is to value any non-controlling interests at fair value. For this purpose, it was agreed to use the share price of Abirem as an approximation of its fair value. Abirem’s market capitalisation figures at 1 January 2020 and 31 December 2020 stood at GH¢70 million and GH¢75 million, respectively. The appropriate discount rate for Tafo is 10%. The required unwound discount has been included in the group’s (but not Tafo’s) finance costs.

  2. On 1 January 2020, a fair value exercise was carried out on Abirem’s net assets. The results showed that the book value of the depreciable plant was higher than its fair value by GH¢4 million. Post-acquisition depreciation adjustment of GH¢0.8 million is required.
  3. Tafo has held a 20% equity interest in Bonsu for several years. On 31 December 2020, an impairment loss of GH¢0.2 million was estimated for the investment in the associate. The group’s policy is to present the share of the associate’s profit before tax and share of the associate’s tax expense separately within the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The investment income of the group shown above includes the group’s share of associate’s profit before tax (including the effects of the GH¢0.2 million impairment loss).
  4. Sales from Abirem to Tafo occurring evenly throughout the year amounted to GH¢8 million. By 31 December 2020, Tafo had sold all these goods except for items worth GH¢1.8 million. Abirem applies a cost-plus 20% markup on all sales.
  5. At 31 December 2020, it was concluded that 5% of the goodwill in Abirem had been impaired. The impairment has been charged to administrative expenses.
  6. Assume that all the necessary consolidation adjustments are correctly included in the above consolidated statement of comprehensive income.

Required:
a) Calculate the goodwill in Abirem at acquisition and reporting.
