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)

Total equity and liabilities 3,725 1,180 576

Additional Information:

  1. Three years ago, on May 1, 2018, RAM Plc acquired 80% of the ordinary share capital of DAM Plc when DAM’s retained earnings were N110m. There were no new share issues since the group structure was created. The fair value of non-controlling interests at acquisition was N160m, and the fair value of DAM Plc’s net assets was N850m at that date. Any fair value adjustments related to inventory were realized by the current year-end.
  2. Two years ago, to veil the identity of the true owner of TAM Plc, RAM Plc acquired 40%, while DAM Plc acquired 25% of TAM’s ordinary share capital on the same date, when the retained earnings of TAM Plc were N65m and those of DAM Plc were N160m. The fair value of non-controlling interest in TAM Plc was N155m as at acquisition, with no revaluation reserve in TAM’s books at that time. The fair values of TAM Plc’s net assets as at acquisition were not materially different from their carrying amount.
  3. The group operates in the oil industry and incurs expenditure on research and development. These costs, previously written off to the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income as incurred, are reinstated when the related products are commercialized. The reinstated costs are shown as ‘Development Inventory.’ The costs do not meet IAS 38 criteria for classification as intangibles, and net cash inflows are unlikely to exceed development costs. DAM Plc included N22m of these costs in inventory this year.
  4. DAM Plc purchased significant new production equipment this year. Its cost before a trade discount was N60m, with a discount of N12m taken to the income statement. Depreciation is on a straight-line basis over six years.
  5. The group policy now states tangible non-current assets at depreciated historical cost. This year, the group changed from the revaluation model to the cost model under IAS 16, except for TAM Plc’s tangible non-current assets, which were revalued by TAM Plc’s directors on the first day of the current year, creating an N80m revaluation reserve. TAM Plc’s assets were initially purchased on May 1, two years prior, at N320m, depreciated over six years. The group does not transfer revaluation reserves to retained earnings annually for excess depreciation. There were no additions or disposals in TAM’s assets over the last two years.
  6. Goodwill from DAM Plc’s acquisition was impairment tested each year; the current year-end revealed a recoverable value of N900m for DAM Plc. TAM Plc’s goodwill has not been impaired since acquisition.
  7. The group policy is to value non-controlling interests at fair value.

This question requires the preparation of a consolidated statement of financial position for Labone Group, considering investments in subsidiaries and intercompany transactions.

Below are the summarised statements of financial position of three entities: Labone Ltd (Labone), Nungua Ltd (Nungua), and Teshie Ltd (Teshie) as at 31 December 2021.

Statements of financial position as at 31 December 2021 Labone Nungua Teshie

Total equity 1,720 760 400
Non-current liabilities 300 80 40
Current liabilities 380 160 60
Total equity and liabilities 2,400 1,000 500

Additional information:

i) On 1 January 2018, Labone acquired 80% of the equity share capital of Nungua for cash consideration of GH¢560 million. At the same date, Labone acquired 70% of the equity share capital of Teshie for cash consideration. Labone has correctly recorded both transactions. At this time, the balances on the retained earnings, the fair values of non-controlling interests, and fair values of the identifiable net assets of Nungua and Teshie were as follows:

Nungua Teshie
Retained earnings GH¢300 million GH¢120 million
Fair value of non-controlling interests GH¢140 million GH¢80 million
Fair value of net assets GH¢640 million GH¢310 million

Any difference between the acquisition date fair value and book value of the identifiable net assets of both investees was due to land. Fair value adjustments should be deemed as temporary differences which are subject to tax of 20%. The fair values of identifiable net assets above are not yet adjusted for tax. Shortly after acquisition, Teshie incorporated the fair values (together with any tax effects) into its separate financial statements, but Nungua had not yet incorporated the fair values into its separate financial statements.

ii) On 1 October 2021, Labone disposed of 40% out of the 70% equity shares of Teshie for GH¢220 million. Labone credited the proceeds received to its “Investment in Teshie” and debited “Cash.” At this time, it was determined that the fair value of the remaining interest was GH¢180 million. Following the sale, Labone could only exert significant influence over Teshie.

iii) During the financial year, Labone transferred goods worth GH¢5 million every month to Teshie. By 31 December 2021, Teshie had not sold the last two months’ deliveries and had included them in its year-end inventory. Labone charges three-seventh (3/7) mark-up on all sales.

iv) Labone’s receivable balance includes GH¢12 million owed by Teshie in respect of the last three months’ sales. This balance agreed with the corresponding payables in Teshie’s financial statements.

v) In its separate financial statements, Labone has accounted for its investments in both Nungua and Teshie at cost. It is the policy of Labone group to measure goodwill in full and to record non-controlling interests at fair value at acquisition. Neither goodwill of Nungua nor that of Teshie has suffered any impairment since acquisition.

vi) Labone has two internal business segments: Construction Division and Merchandise Division. On 1 July 2021, the Construction Division entered into a 1-year fixed price contract to construct an ultra-modern office complex at a contract sum of GH¢60 million for a district government agency located in the Eastern zone of Ghana. Total estimated costs at the time the contract was concluded were GH¢52 million. Actual costs incurred up to 31 December 2021 amounted to GH¢32 million. At 31 December 2021, the Directors of Labone revised its total construction costs on the project to GH¢64 million. No progress payments have been received from the agency. The only entries made have been to include the costs incurred in Labone’s inventory. Labone measures progress to completion on the basis of cost.

vii) During the current year, Nungua and Teshie reported profits after tax of GH¢48 million and GH¢40 million respectively. Unless otherwise stated, it may be assumed that profits accrued evenly over the year and that no dividends were paid during the year.

(Note: Deferred tax adjustment should be ignored, unless otherwise indicated.)

Required:

Prepare the consolidated statement of financial position of the Labone Group as at 31 December 2021.

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.
