At August 31, 2016, Evolve LTD controlled a wholly owned subsidiary, Resource LTD, whose only assets were land and buildings, measured in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

On August 1, 2016, Evolve LTD published a statement stating that a binding offer for the sale of Resource LTD had been made and accepted, and at that date, the sale was expected to be completed by August 31, 2016. The non-current assets of Resource LTD were measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell at August 31, 2016, based on the selling price in the binding offer. This measurement was in accordance with IFRS 5 – Non-Current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

There was no disclosure of these uncertainties, and the original agreement was finalized on September 20, 2016.

Required:
Advise Evolve LTD on how the above transactions should be correctly dealt with in its financial statements with reference to relevant International Financial Reporting Standards. (10 Marks)

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.
