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

April 30, 2017 2.5:1
Average for year to April 30, 2017 2.9:1

CR – May 2019 – L3 – Q1 – Consolidated financial statements | Business combinations and consolidation

The question requires the preparation of a consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for HO group for the year ended 30 September 2018, including adjustments for intra-group sales, goodwill impairment, and partial disposal of a subsidiary.

On 1 October 2016, HO acquired 60% of the equity interest of Sunyani, a public limited company in Ghana. The purchase consideration is made up of cash of GH¢40 million and the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired was GH¢55 million at that date. The fair value of the non-controlling interest (NCI) in Sunyani was GH¢22.5 million on 1 October 2016.

HO wishes to use the ‘full goodwill’ method for all acquisitions. The share capital and retained earnings of Sunyani were GH¢12.5 million and GH¢32.5 million respectively, and other components of equity were GH¢3 million at the date of acquisition. The excess of the fair value of the identifiable net assets at acquisition is due to non-depreciable land. Goodwill has been tested for impairment annually and as at 30 September 2017 had reduced in value by 20%. However, at 30 September 2018, the impairment of goodwill had reversed and goodwill was valued at GH¢1 million above its original value. This upward change in value has already been included in the draft financial statements of HO below prior to the preparation of the group accounts.

HO group:

Draft statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year ended 30 September 2018

HO (GH¢’000) Sunyani (GH¢’000) Kumasi (GH¢’000)
Revenue 200,000 57,500 35,000
Cost of sales (156,000) (32,500) (18,000)
Gross profit 44,000 25,000 17,000
Other income 10,500 3,500 1,000
Administrative costs (7,500) (4,500) (6,000)
Other expenses (17,500) (9,500) (4,000)
Operating profit 29,500 14,500 8,000
Finance costs (2,500) (1,500) (2,000)
Finance income 3,000 2,500 4,000
Profit before tax 30,000 15,500 10,000
Income tax expense (9,500) (4,500) (2,500)
Profit for the year 20,500 11,000 7,500
Other comprehensive income – revaluation surplus 5,000 – –
Total comprehensive income for year 25,500 11,000 7,500

The following information is relevant:

i) HO disposed of an 8% equity interest in Sunyani on 30 September, 2018 for a cash consideration of GH¢9 million and had accounted for the gain or loss in other income. The carrying value of the net assets of Sunyani Ltd at 30 September, 2018 was GH¢60 million before any adjustments on consolidation. HO accounts for investments in subsidiaries using IFRS 9 financial instruments and has made an election to show gains and losses in other comprehensive income. The carrying value of the investment in Sunyani was GH¢45 million at 30 September 2017 and GH¢47.5 million at 30 September, 2018 before the disposal of the equity interest.

ii) HO acquired 60% of the equity interest of Kumasi Ltd, a limited liability company also in Ghana on 30 September, 2016. The purchase consideration was cash of GH¢35 million. Kumasi’s identifiable net assets were fair valued at GH¢43 million and the non-controlling interest had a fair value of GH¢14 million at that date. On 1 April 2018, HO disposed off a 40% equity interest in Kumasi for a consideration of GH¢25 million. Kumasi’s identifiable net assets were GH¢45 million and the value of the non-controlling interest was GH¢17 million at the date of disposal. The remaining equity interest was fair valued at GH¢20 million. After the disposal, HO exerts significant influence. Any increase in net assets since acquisition has been reported in profit or loss and the carrying value of the investment in Kumasi had not changed since acquisition. Goodwill had been tested for impairment and found that no impairment was required. No entries had been made in the financial statements of HO for this transaction other than for cash received.

iii) HO sold inventory to Sunyani for GH¢6 million at fair value. HO made a loss on the transaction of GH¢1 million and Sunyani still holds GH¢4 million in inventory at the year end.

iv) On 1 October 2016, HO purchased an item of property, plant and equipment for GH¢6 million and this is being depreciated using the straight line basis over 10 years with a nil residual value. At 30 September 2017, the asset was revalued to GH¢6.5 million but at 30 September 2018, the value of the asset had fallen to GH¢3.5 million. HO uses the revaluation model to value its non-current assets. The effect of the revaluation at 30 September 2018 had not been taken into account in total comprehensive income but depreciation for the year had been charged.

v) On 1 October 2016, HO made an award of 4,000 share options to each of its seven directors. The condition attached to the award was that the directors must remain employed by HO for three years. The fair value of each option at the grant date was GH¢100 and the fair value of each option at 30 September 2018 was GH¢110. At 30 September 2017, it was estimated that three directors would leave before the end of three years. Due to an economic downturn, the estimate of directors who were going to leave was revised to one director at 30 September 2018. The expense for the year as regards the share options had not been included in profit or loss for the current year and no director had left by 30 September 2018.

Required:
Prepare a consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year ended 30 September 2018 for the HO group.

CR – Nov 2018 – L3 – Q1 – Consolidated financial statements

Prepare the consolidated statement of financial position for Accra Ltd, considering acquisitions, goodwill, impairments, revaluation, and pension obligations.

Accra Ltd, a public limited liability company in Ghana, operates in the manufacturing sector.

Accra Ltd has investments in two other Ghanaian companies.

The draft statement of financial position as at 31 March 2018 are as follows:

Additional information:

i) On 1 April 2016, Accra Ltd acquired 14% of the equity interest of Takoradi Ltd for a cash consideration of GH¢130 million, and Bawku Ltd acquired 70% of the equity interest of Takoradi Ltd for a cash consideration of GH¢635 million. At 1 April 2016, the identifiable net assets of Takoradi Ltd had a fair value of GH¢495 million, retained earnings were GH¢95 million, and other components of equity were GH¢26 million. At 1 April 2017, the identifiable net assets of Takoradi Ltd had a fair value of GH¢575 million, retained earnings were GH¢120 million, and other components of equity were GH¢35 million. The excess in fair value is due to non-depreciable land. The fair value of the 14% holding of Accra Ltd in Takoradi Ltd, which was classified as fair value through profit or loss, was GH¢140 million at 31 March 2017 and GH¢155 million at 31 March 2018. However, the fair value of Bawku Ltd’s interest in Takoradi Ltd had not changed since acquisition.

ii) On 1 April 2017, Accra Ltd acquired 60% of the equity interests of Bawku Ltd, a public limited liability company in Ghana. The cost of investment comprised cash of GH¢625 million. On 1 April 2017, the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired was GH¢975 million, retained earnings of Bawku Ltd were GH¢325 million, and other components of equity were GH¢27.5 million. The excess in fair value is due to non-depreciable land. It is the group’s policy to measure the non-controlling interest at acquisition at its proportionate share of the fair value of the subsidiary’s net assets.

iii) Goodwill of Bawku Ltd and Takoradi Ltd were tested for impairment at 31 March 2018 and found that there was no impairment relating to Takoradi Ltd. However, the goodwill of Bawku Ltd was fully impaired by the reporting date.

iv) On 1 April 2016, Accra Ltd acquired office accommodation at a cost of GH¢45 million with a 30-year estimated useful life. During the year, the property market in the area slumped, and the fair value of accommodation fell to GH¢37.5 million at 31 March 2017, which was reflected in the financial statements. However, the market unexpectedly recovered quickly due to the announcement of major government investment in the area’s transport infrastructure. On 31 March 2018, the valuer advised Accra Ltd that the offices should now be valued at GH¢52.5 million. Accra Ltd has charged depreciation for the year but has not taken account of the upward valuation of the offices. Accra Ltd uses the revaluation model and records any valuation change when advised to do so.

v) Accra Ltd has announced two major restructuring plans during the year. The first plan is to reduce its capacity by the closure of some of its smaller factories, which have already been identified. This will lead to the redundancy of 500 employees, who have all individually been selected and communicated to. The costs of this plan are GH¢4.5 million in redundancy costs, GH¢2.5 million in retraining costs, and GH¢2.5 million in lease termination costs. The second plan is to re-organize the finance and information technology department over a one-year period but it does not commence until two years’ time. The plan will result in 20% of finance staff losing their jobs during the restructuring. The costs of this plan are GH¢5 million in redundancy costs, GH¢3 million in retraining costs, and GH¢3.5 million in equipment lease termination costs. There are no entries made in the financial statements for the above plans.

vi) The following information relates to the group pension plan of Accra Ltd:

1 April 2017 GH¢ million 31 March 2018 GH¢ million
Fair value of plan assets 14 14.5
Actuarial value of defined benefit obligation 15 17.5

The contributions for the period received by the fund were GH¢1 million, and the employee benefits paid in the year amounted to GH¢1.5 million. The discount rate to be used in any calculation is 5%. The current service cost for the period based on actuarial calculations is GH¢0.5 million. The above figures have not been taken into account for the year ended 31 March 2018 except for the contributions paid, which have been entered in cash and the defined benefit obligation.

Required:
Prepare the group consolidated statement of financial position of Accra Ltd as at 31 March 2018.

CR – May 2016 – L3 – Q2b – IAS 36: Impairment of assets

Advise on impairment effects on consolidated financial statements for various scenarios including subsidiaries, plant assets, and R&D projects.

AT Group Ltd is preparing its financial statements to 30th June 2015. The following situations have been identified by an impairment review team;

On 1st July 2014, AT Group Ltd acquired the whole share capital of two subsidiary companies, Accra Ltd and Tema Ltd, in separate acquisitions. Consolidated goodwill was calculated as follows;

Accra Ltd Tema Ltd GH¢’000 GH¢’000 Purchase Consideration 24,000 9,000 Estimated fair value of net assets (16,000) (6,000) Consolidated goodwill 8,000 3,000

i) A review of the fair value of each subsidiary’s net assets was undertaken in June 2015. Unfortunately both companies’ net assets had declined in value. The estimated value of Accra Ltd.’s net assets as at 1st July 2014 was now only GH¢15,000,000. This was due to more detailed information becoming available about the market value of its specialized properties. Tema Ltd.’s net assets were estimated to have a fair value of GH¢1,000,000 less than their carrying value. This fall was due to some physical damage occurring to its plant and machinery. (4 marks)

ii) AT Group Ltd has an item of earth moving plant, which is rented out to companies on short-term contracts. Its carrying value, based on depreciated historical cost is GH¢400,000. The estimated selling price of this asset is only GH¢250,000, with associated selling expenses of GH¢5,000. A recent review of its value in use based on its forecast future cash flows was estimated at GH¢500,000. Since this review was undertaken, there has been a dramatic increase in interest rates that has significantly increased the cost of capital used by AT Group Ltd to discount the future cash flows of the plant. (6 marks)

iii) AT Group Ltd is engaged in a research and development project to produce a new product. In the year to 30th June 2015, the company spent GH¢120,000 on research that concluded that there were sufficient grounds to carry the project on to its development stage and a further GH¢75,000 had been spent on development. At that date management having decided that they were not sufficiently confident in the ultimate profitability of the project wrote off all the expenditure to date to the income statement. In the current year further direct development costs have been incurred of GH¢80,000 and the development work is now complete with only an estimated GH¢10,000 of costs to be incurred in the future. Production is expected to commence within the next few months. Unfortunately the total trading profit from sales of the new product is not expected to be as good as market research data originally forecast and is estimated at only GH¢150,000. As the future benefits are greater than the remaining future costs, the project will be completed, but due to the overall deficit expected, the directors have again decided to write off all the development expenditure. (5 marks)

Required: Advise, with numerical illustrations where possible, how the information in (i) to (iii) above would affect the preparation of AT Group Ltd.’s consolidated financial statements to 30th June 2015.
