Evaluate the impact of restructuring plans on individual and group accounts for Tanimo PLC and its subsidiaries.

Question

Emili PLC and Wagbo PLC are both public limited companies wholly owned by Tanimo PLC, also a public limited company. Tanimo group PLC operates in the agro-allied industry; but the directors felt that the current structure does not serve their intended purpose and are therefore considering two different restructuring plans for the group.

The statements of financial position of Tanimo PLC and its subsidiaries Emili PLC and Wagbo PLC as at May 31, 2021, are as follows:

Statements of Financial Position as at May 31, 2021

Item	Tanimo PLC (Nm)	Emili PLC (Nm)	Wagbo PLC (Nm)
Property, Plant, and Equipment	600	200	45
Cost of Investment in Emili PLC	60	–	–
Cost of Investment in Wagbo PLC	70	–	–
Net Current Assets	160	100	20
Total Assets	890	300	65
Equity & Liabilities:
Share Capital (Ordinary Shares of N1 each)	120	60	40
Retained Earnings	770	240	25
Total Equity & Liabilities	890	300	65

Tanimo PLC acquired the investment in Wagbo PLC on June 1, 2015, when the company’s retained earnings balance was N20 million. The fair value of the net assets of Wagbo PLC on June 1, 2015, was N60 million.

Emili PLC was incorporated by Tanimo PLC on June 1, 2015, and has always been a wholly owned subsidiary. The fair value of the net assets of Emili PLC as at May 31, 2021, was N310 million, and of Wagbo PLC, it was N80 million. The fair values of the net current assets of both Emili PLC and Wagbo PLC are approximately the same as their carrying amounts.

The directors are not certain what effects the following plans would have on the individual accounts of the companies and the group accounts. Local companies’ legislation requires that the amount at which share capital is recorded is dictated by the nominal value of the shares issued, and if the value of the consideration received exceeds that amount, the excess is recorded in the share premium account. Shares cannot be issued at a discount. In the case of a share-for-share exchange, the value of the consideration can be deemed to be the carrying amount of the investment exchanged.

It is the group’s policy to value non-controlling interests at its proportionate share of the fair value of the subsidiary’s identifiable net assets.

The two different plans to restructure the group are as follows:

Plan 1
- Emili PLC is to purchase the whole of Tanimo’s PLC investment in Wagbo PLC.
- The directors are undecided as to whether the purchase consideration should be 50 million N1 ordinary shares of Emili PLC or a cash amount of N75 million.
Plan 2
- The assets and trade of Wagbo PLC are to be transferred to Emili PLC at their carrying amount.
- Wagbo PLC would initially become a non-trading company.
- The consideration for the transfer will be N60 million, which will be left outstanding on the intercompany account between Emili PLC and Wagbo PLC.

Required:

Discuss the key considerations and the accounting implications of the above plans for the Tanimo PLC group. Your answer should show the potential impact on the individual accounts of Tanimo PLC, Emili PLC, and Wagbo PLC and the group accounts after each plan has been implemented.
