The following information is relevant:


(i) At the date of acquisition, Pyramid conducted a fair value exercise on Squares net assets which were equal to
their carrying amounts with the following exceptions:
An item of plant had a fair value of $3 million above its carrying amount. At the date of acquisition it had
a remaining life of five years. Ignore deferred tax relating to the fair value.
Square had an unrecorded deferred tax liability of $1 million, which was unchanged as at 31 March 2012.

(ii)

Pyramids policy is to value the non-controlling interest at fair value at the date of acquisition. For this
purpose a share price for Square of $350 each is representative of the fair value of the shares held by
the non-controlling interest.
Immediately after the acquisition, Square issued $4 million of 11% loan notes, $25 million of which were
bought by Pyramid. All interest due on the loan notes as at 31 March 2012 has been paid and received.

The following information is relevant:
(i) At the date of acquisition, the fair values of Sanfords assets were equal to their carrying amounts with the
exception of its property. This had a fair value of $12 million below its carrying amount. This would lead to a
reduction of the depreciation charge (in cost of sales) of $50,000 in the post-acquisition period. Sanford has not
incorporated this value change into its entity financial statements.
Premiers group policy is to revalue all properties to current value at each year end. On 30 September 2010, the
value of Sanfords property was unchanged from its value at acquisition, but the land element of Premiers property
had increased in value by $500,000 as shown in other comprehensive income.
(ii) Sales from Sanford to Premier throughout the year ended 30 September 2010 had consistently been $1 million per
month. Sanford made a mark-up on cost of 25% on these sales. Premier had $2 million (at cost to Premier) of
inventory that had been supplied in the post-acquisition period by Sanford as at 30 September 2010.
(iii) Premier had a trade payable balance owing to Sanford of $350,000 as at 30 September 2010. This agreed with
the corresponding receivable in Sanfords books.
(iv) Premiers investments include some available-for-sale investments that have increased in value by $300,000 during
the year. The other equity reserve relates to these investments and is based on their value as at 30 September
2009. There were no acquisitions or disposals of any of these investments during the year ended 30
September 2010.
(v) Premiers policy is to value the non-controlling interest at fair value at the date of acquisition. For this purpose
Sanfords 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) There has been no impairment of consolidated goodwill.
Required:
a) Prepare the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for Premier for the year ended 30
September 2010.
b) Prepare the consolidated statement of financial position for Premier as at 30 September 2010.

Q.7 On 1 April 2009 Picant acquired 75% of Sanders equity shares in a share exchange of three shares in
Picant for every two shares in Sander. The market prices of Picants and Sanders shares at the date of
acquisition were $320 and $450 each respectively.
In addition to this Picant agreed to pay a further amount on 1 April 2010 that was dependent upon the postacquisition performance of Sander. At the date of acquisition Picant assessed the fair value of this contingent
consideration at $42 million, but by 31 March 2010 it was clear that the actual amount to be paid would be
only $27 million (ignore discounting). Picant has recorded the share exchange and provided for the initial
estimate of $42 million for the contingent consideration.
On 1 October 2009 Picant also acquired 40% of the equity shares of Adler paying $4 in cash per acquired
share and issuing at par one $100 7% loan note for every 50 shares acquired in Adler. This consideration has
also been recorded by Picant.
Picant has no other investments.

value exercise. This requires additional annual depreciation of $100,000 in the consolidated financial
statements in the post-acquisition period.
Also at the date of acquisition, Sander had an intangible asset of $500,000 for software in itsstatement
of fi nancial position. Picants directors believed the software to have no recoverable value at the date
of acquisition and Sander wrote it off shortly after its acquisition.
(ii) At 31 March 2010 Picants current account with Sander was $34 million (debit). This did not agree
with the equivalent balance in Sanders books due to some goods-in-transit invoiced at $18 million
that were sent by Picant on 28 March 2010, but had not been received by Sander until after the year
end. Picant sold all these goods at cost plus 50%.
(iii) Picants policy is to value the non-controlling interest at fair value at the date of acquisition. For this
purpose Sanders share price at that date can be deemed to be representative of the fair value of the
shares held by the non-controlling interest.
(iv) Impairment tests were carried out on 31 March 2010 which concluded that the value of the investment in
Adler was not impaired but, due to poor trading performance, consolidated goodwill was impaired by $38
million.
(v) Assume all profits accrue evenly through the year.
Required:
(a) Prepare the consolidated statement of financial position for Picant as at 31 March 2010. (21 marks)
(b) Picant has been approached by a potential new customer, Trilby, to supply it with a substantial quantity of goods
on three months credit terms. Picant is concerned at the risk that such a large order represents in the current difficult
economic climate, especially as Picants normal credit terms are only one months credit. To support its application
for credit, Trilby has sent Picant a copy of Tradhats most recent audited consolidated financial statements. Trilby is
a wholly-owned subsidiary within the Tradhat group. Tradhats consolidated financial statements show a strong
statement of financial position including healthy liquidity ratios.

Required:
Comment on the importance that Picant should attach to Tradhats consolidated financial statements
when deciding on whether to grant credit terms to Trilby.

The following information is relevant:


(i) The fair values of the net assets of Salva at the date of acquisition were equal to their carrying amounts
with the exception of an item of plant which had a carrying amount of $12 million and a fair value of $17
million. This plant had a remaining life of five years (straight-line depreciation) at the date of acquisition of
Salva. All depreciation is charged to cost of sales.
In addition Salva owns the registration of a popular internet domain name. The registration, which had a
negligible cost, has a five year remaining life (at the date of acquisition); however, it is renewable indefinitely at
a nominal cost. At the date of acquisition the domain name was valued by a specialist company at $20 million.
The fair values of the plant and the domain name have not been reflected in Salvas financial statements.

No fair value adjustments were required on the acquisition of the investment in Ambra.
(ii) Immediately after its acquisition of Salva, Pandar invested $50 million in an 8% loan note from Salva. All
interest accruing to 30 September 2009 had been accounted for by both companies. Salva also has other
loans in issue at 30 September 2009.
(iii) Pandar has credited the whole of the dividend it received from Salva to investment income.
(iv) After the acquisition, Pandar sold goods to Salva for $15 million on which Pandar made a gross profit of
20%. Salva had one third of these goods still in its inventory at 30 September 2009. There are no intragroup current account balances at 30 September 2009.
(v) The non-controlling interest in Salva is to be valued at its (full) fair value at the date of acquisition. For this
purpose Salvas share price at that date can be taken to be indicative of the fair value of the shareholding
of the non-controlling interest.
(vi) The goodwill of Salva has not suffered any impairment; however, due to its losses, the value of Pandars
investment in Ambra has been impaired by $3 million at 30 September 2009.

On 1 August 2007 Patronic purchased 18 million of a total of 24 million equity shares in Sardonic. The

acquisition was through a share exchange of two shares in Patronic for every three shares in Sardonic. Both
companies have shares with a par value of $1 each. The market price of Patronics shares at 1 August 2007 was
$575 per share. Patronic will also pay in cash on 31 July 2009 (two years after acquisition) $242 per acquired
share of Sardonic. Patronics cost of capital is 10% per annum. The reserves of Sardonic on 1 April 2007 were
$69 million.

Patronic has held an investment of 30% of the equity shares in Acerbic for many years.

Q.11

On 1 April 2013, Polestar acquired 75% of the equity share capital of Southstar. Southstar had been

experiencing difficult trading conditions and making significant losses. In allowing for Southstars difficulties,
Polestar made an immediate cash payment of only $150 per share. In addition, Polestar will pay a further
amount in cash on 30 September 2014 if Southstar returns to profitability by that date. The value of this
contingent consideration at the date of acquisition was estimated to be $18 million, but at 30 September 2013 in
the light of continuing losses, its value was estimated at only $15 million. The contingent consideration has not
been recorded by Polestar. Overall, the directors of Polestar expect the acquisition to be a bargain purchase
leading to negative goodwill.
At the date of acquisition shares in Southstar had a listed market price of $120 each. Below are the summarized
draft financial statements of both companies.

The following information is relevant:
(i) At the date of acquisition, Strata produced a draft statement of profit or loss which showed it had made
a net loss after tax of $2 million at that date. Paradigm accepted this figure as the basis for calculating
the pre- and post-acquisition split of Stratas profit for the year ended 31 March 2013.
Also at the date of acquisition, Paradigm conducted a fair value exercise on Stratas net assets which were
equal to their carrying amounts (including Stratas financial asset equity investments) with the exception of
an item of plant which had a fair value of $3 million below its carrying amount. The plant had a remaining
economic life of three years at 1 October 2012.
Paradigms policy is to value the non-controlling interest at fair value at the date of acquisition. For this
purpose, a share price for Strata of $120 each is representative of the fair value of the shares held by the
non-controlling interest.
(ii) Each month since acquisition, Paradigms sales to Strata were consistently $46 million. Paradigm had
marked these up by 15% on cost. Strata had one months supply ($46 million) of these goods in
inventory at 31 March 2013. Paradigms normal mark-up (to third party customers) is 40%.
(iii) Stratas current account balance with Paradigm at 31 March 2013 was $28 million, which did not agree
with Paradigms equivalent receivable due to a payment of $900,000 made by Strata on 28 March 2013,
which was not received by Paradigm until 3 April 2013.
(iv) The financial asset equity investments of Paradigm and Strata are carried at their fair values as at 1
April 2012. As at 31 March 2013, these had fair values of $71 million and $39 million respectively.
(v) There was no impairment losses within the group during the year ended 31 March 2013.
Required:
Prepare the consolidated statement of financial position for Paradigm as at 31 March 2013.

The following information is relevant:


(i) A fair value exercise conducted on 1 October 2013 concluded that the carrying amounts of Spheres net
assets were equal to their fair values with the following exceptions:
the fair value of Spheres land was $2 million in excess of its carrying amount
an item of plant had a fair value of $6 million in excess of its carrying amount. The plant had a
remaining life of two years at the date of acquisition. Plant depreciation is charged to cost of sales.
Penketh placed a value of $5 million on Spheres good trading relationships with its customers.
Penketh expected, on average, a customer relationship to last for a further five years. Amortisation of
intangible assets is charged to administrative expenses.
(ii) Penkeths group policy is to revalue land to market value at the end of each accounting period. Prior to
its acquisition, Spheres land had been valued at historical cost, but it has adopted the group policy
since its acquisition. In addition to the fair value increase in Spheres land of $2 million (see note (i)), it
had increased by a further $1 million since the acquisition.
(iii) On 1 October 2013, Penketh also acquired 30% of Ventors equity shares. Ventors profit after tax for
the year ended 31 March 2014 was $10 million and during March 2014 Ventor paid a dividend of $6
million. Penketh uses equity accounting in its consolidated financial statements for its investment in
Ventor. Sphere did not pay any dividends in the year ended 31 March 2014.
