Below are the financial statements of Monko Plc and its investee company, Danke Plc for
the year ended 30 September 2023:
Statements of Profit or Loss and other Comprehensive Income for the year ended 30
September 2023



Additional information:
i) On 1 April 2023, Monko Plc acquired 75% of the equity shares of Danke Plc. Danke Plc had been experiencing difficult trading conditions and making significant losses. Taking into consideration Danke Plc’s difficulties, Monko Plc made an immediate cash payment of only GH¢1.50 per share. In addition, Monko Plc will pay a further amount in cash on 30 September 2024 if Danke Plc returns to profitability by that date. The value of this contingent consideration at the date of acquisition was estimated to be GH¢1,800,000 but in the light of continuing losses, it value was
estimated at only GH¢1,500,000 as at 30 September 2023. The contingent consideration has not been recorded by Monko Plc. At the date of acquisition, shares in Danke Plc had a listed market price of GH¢1.20 each.
ii) On 1 April 2023, the fair values of Danke Plc’s assets were equal to their carrying amounts with the exception of a leased property. This had a fair value of GH¢2,000,000 above its
carrying amount and a remaining lease term of 10 years at that date. Depreciation is charged to cost of sales.
iii) Monko Plc transferred raw materials at their cost of GH¢4,000,000 to Danke Plc in June 2023. Danke Plc processed all of these materials incurring additional direct costs of GH¢1,400,000 and sold them back to Monko Plc in August 2023 for GH¢9,000,000. At 30 September 2023, Monko Plc had GH¢1,500,000 of these goods still in inventory.
iv) Monko Plc has recorded its investment in Danke Plc at the cost of the immediate cash payment. Other equity investments (included in the financial assets-equity investments) are carried at fair value through profit or loss as at 1 October 2022. The other equity investments have fallen in value by GH¢200,000 during the year ended 30 September 2023.
v) Monko Plc’s policy is to value the non-controlling interest at fair value at the date of
acquisition. Danke Plc’s share price at that date can be deemed to be representative of the
fair value of the shares held by the non-controlling interest.
vi) All items in the above statements of profit or loss are deemed to accrue evenly over the year unless otherwise indicated.
Required:
a) Compute the Goodwill on acquisition of Danke Plc. (4 marks)

CR – July 2023 – L3 – Q1 – Consolidated Financial Statements

Prepare the consolidated statement of financial position for Banky Ltd as of February 28, 2023.

The following Statements of Financial Position relate to Banky Ltd (Banky), Zinko Ltd (Zinko), and Tooli Ltd (Tooli):

Statements of Financial Position as at 28 February 2023 Banky Zinko Tooli
Assets GH¢ million GH¢ million GH¢ million
Non-current assets 1,500 1,040 960
Deferred tax 80
Current assets 1,188 584 600
Total assets 2,688 1,704 1,560
Equity and liabilities Banky Zinko Tooli
Equity
Equity shares of GH¢5 each 600 500 500
Other reserves 150 90 60
Retained earnings 976 390 355
Total equity 1,726 980 915
Current liabilities 962 724 645
Total equity and liabilities 2,688 1,704 1,560

Additional Information: i) On 1 March 2022, Banky purchased 80 million equity shares in Zinko through a share exchange of three shares in Banky for every two shares in Zinko. The fair values of each share of Banky and Zinko were GH¢7 and GH¢10.5 respectively at acquisition date. Shares issued by Banky have not yet been recorded in the books.

ii) On acquisition date, Zinko’s retained earnings and other reserves were GH¢230 million and GH¢60 million respectively. Fair value of Zinko’s identifiable net assets was equal to their carrying value except that Zinko had a disclosed contingent liability with a fair value of GH¢8 million at acquisition. Provision in respect of this contingent liability has been recognised by Zinko at GH¢7.2 million as at 28 February 2023.

iii) On the same date Zinko was acquired, Zinko also purchased 60% equity holding in Tooli. The purchase and sale agreement for this transaction provided that Zinko would pay cash amount of GH¢500 million (excluding GH¢2 million consultancy costs which Zinko settled immediately and charged against its other comprehensive income) to the former shareholders of Tooli in two years’ time on condition that Zinko’s sales growth exceeds 20% per annum. The fair value of this consideration was estimated at GH¢450 million at acquisition and GH¢438 million at 28 February 2023. Zinko has not yet recorded this transaction. Both values were deemed as final on the two given dates.

iv) However, the professional valuation of Tooli’s identifiable net assets was not finalised at acquisition so a provisional fair valuation of GH¢845 million for the net assets was applied to arrive at the purchase consideration. The final valuation report which was released on 31 January 2023 showed a revised fair value of GH¢860 million for Tooli’s identifiable net assets. Any fair value adjustment was due to an item of plant whose remaining useful life was 5 years at acquisition. On this date, Tooli’s retained earnings and other reserves were GH¢275 million and GH¢55 million respectively.

v) Banky’s closing inventories include goods sold by Zinko at a margin of 20%. These items were invoiced at GH¢5 million but are currently included in Banky’s inventories at their net realisable value of GH¢4.2 million.

vi) The policy of the group is to measure non-controlling interests using their proportion of the fair value of identifiable net assets. An impairment review carried out revealed that goodwill in Zinko at this year-end had a “gross” recoverable amount of GH¢230 million.

vii) Ignore deferred tax adjustments unless otherwise indicated.

Required: Prepare the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position for Banky Ltd as at 28 February 2023.

(All figures should be approximated to the nearest GH¢0.1 million)

CR – Dec 2022 – L3 – Q2a – IAS 36: Impairment of assets

Calculate impairment loss and revised carrying amounts for Inaki Group in relation to goodwill and other assets.

Inaki Group (Inaki) has held a 90% interest in a subsidiary for over five years and prepares its consolidated financial statements to 31 March each year. The share consideration given for this investment was GH¢3,960 million and fair value increase in respect of non-depreciable land was GH¢200 million (this has not changed since acquisition). Due to the difficulties in determining reliable fair value of the investment in the subsidiary, Inaki measures the non-controlling interests at their proportion of the subsidiary’s net assets. The subsidiary’s net assets (excluding any fair value adjustment and goodwill) at acquisition and current reporting dates are provided below:

Reporting Acquisition
Properties GH¢2,300m GH¢1,800m
Plant & equipment GH¢1,500m GH¢1,400m
Net current assets GH¢680m GH¢600m
Total GH¢4,480m GH¢3,800m

Inaki has determined the recoverable amount of the subsidiary to be GH¢4,140 million at the reporting date. No impairment losses have previously been recognised for the goodwill. Net current assets above are stated below their recoverable amount.

Required:
From the above, determine how much impairment loss (if any) would be recognised by Inaki Group at the current reporting date and indicate the revised carrying amounts (if applicable) of the subsidiary in line with the applicable IFRS.
