Discuss why FRCN should focus on impairment of non-financial and deferred tax assets during economic recession.

The economic environment in the country has been very harsh, and it is now common knowledge that the economy is in a recession.

Consequently, financial reporting regulators must closely examine evidence of impairment of assets in financial statements submitted by such companies.

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.

Required: Discuss the issues involved in the requirements of the Board as specified above. (5 Marks)

c. A friend to the Chief Accountant of Makoko Intercontinental Holdings Limited, who is a consultant to Ojodu Limited and Egbeda Confectionaries Limited, is requesting for information on the new acquisitions from his friend, the Chief Accountant.

Required: Identify the ethical issues involved in the above scenarios and their implications. (5 Marks)

CR – Nov 2018 – L3 – SC – Q5 – Impairment of Assets (IAS 36)

Evaluate if a manufacturing machine is impaired due to market changes and calculate the impairment charge.

Atigen Manufacturing Limited bought a new machine for its factory in Otta, Ogun State, for N140 million on January 1, 2015. At acquisition, the machine was estimated to have a life span of 7 years with no scrap value. The carrying amount at December 31, 2017, is N80 million.

The machine generates largely independent cash flows and is therefore tested for impairment as a standalone asset. Due to a downturn in the economy and the reduction and cancellation of major customer orders, the directors concluded that the machine might be impaired.

You are provided with the following information:

  • Fair value of the machine: N60 million
  • Selling costs: 5% of the fair value
  • Value-in-use based on discounted future cash flows: N63.5 million

Required:

a. Determine if the machine is impaired based on the above information. (6 Marks)

b. Calculate (if any) the impairment charge that the directors should recognize in profit or loss. (9 Marks)

CR – Nov 2022 – L3 – Q3 – Impairment of Assets (IAS 36)

Evaluate impairment of a CGU for Evo Plc, considering fair value, cost to sell, and cash flows.

Evo Plc acquired a cash-generating unit (CGU) several years ago.

At February 28, 2021, the carrying amounts of the assets in the CGU before any impairment testing were:

Asset Carrying Amount (N’m)
Goodwill 3
Property, Plant and Equipment 10

Analyze asset sale due to privatization, calculate impairment, and address valuation criteria per IAS 36.

As a result of privatisation and commercialisation exercise currently going on in the country, the Ministry of Transport sold the assets and liabilities of the newly constructed standard gauge railway to a private company known as Stalus Rail Limited (SRL) to ensure smooth operations of the railway services by freeing it from government bureaucracy.

The summarised extracts of the statement of financial position at fair value of SRL on January 1, 2019, reflecting the terms and conditions of the sales agreement of the Transport Ministry are as follows:

N’m Assets
Goodwill 150,000
Operating licence 900,000
Property – Train stations and land 225,000
Rail tracks and coaches 225,000
Two (2) train engines 750,000
Total Assets 2,250,000

Liabilities:

  • Sundry liabilities: Nil

The operating licence is for a ten-year period issued on January 1, 2019, by the Transport Ministry and is stated at cost. The carrying value of the property and rail track and coaches is based on value in use, while the engines are valued at their net selling prices.

On February 1, 2019, one of the train engines got damaged due to a technical fault from the manufacturer and was completely destroyed. The sale of the assets to SRL was without recourse to the Transport Ministry or the manufacturer of the engines.

In view of this, it was estimated that there would be reduced passenger capacity, and the estimated value in use of the whole train service business of SRL was assessed at N1,500 billion.

The number of passengers after one of the engines was damaged was below expectation, even allowing for the reduced capacity. Consequently, the value in use of SRL rail services was re-assessed on March 31, 2019, at N1,350 billion. On this date, SRL received an offer of N675 billion from Papaya Railway Services Limited (PRSL) for the operating licence (since it is transferable). The realisable value of the other assets has not changed significantly.

Required:

a. Draft a memo addressed to the MD of Stalus Rail Limited (SRL) explaining the basis of allocating an impairment loss to the assets of a cash-generating unit in accordance with IAS 36 on impairment of assets.
(6 Marks)

b. Calculate the carrying amount of the assets of SRL Limited as at February 1, 2019, and March 1, 2019.
(10 Marks)

c. Explain TWO conditions that must exist before an impairment loss can be reversed.
