10 Question Seven POP organises events and music festivals throughout the USA and in July 2011 made two 100% acquisitions. The first was to acquire A, an events security business that POP had been using to provide security services on an outsourcing basis. The second acquisition was B, a highly successful entity that organises and runs events and music festivals in Europe. Both A and B had established good reputations and as a result a number of intangible assets were recognised on acquisition, in accordance with IFRS 3 Business Combinations and IAS 38 Intangible Assets. POP uses an online ticket agent for ticket sales for all of its events. POP paid a dividend of $30 million relating to the year ended 31 March 2012 and declared a dividend of $40 million for the year ended 31 March 2013 which was paid after the year end. The share price of POP was $2.90 per share on 31 March 2012 and $2.50 on 31 March You have been approached by a client who is considering making an equity investment in POP.

In July 2012 there was an accident at one of the music festivals being organised by POP s subsidiary, B, in Europe and one of the main performers was injured. The performer is pursuing a lawsuit and his lawyer is claiming that the safety equipment was faulty and caused the accident. The lawsuit was filed in February 2013 and at the year-end POP s lawyers advised that B was likely to lose the case but at that time no reliable estimate of the likely payout could be made. Details of the lawsuit and its cause were provided in a note to the financial statements as a contingent liability. 2. Following the accident in July 2012, POP invested in new safety equipment for all of its entities. Several key performers have expressed concerns, however, about performing at an event that is due to be held in Europe in May The directors believe that the bad publicity that B received following the accident had a negative effect on revenue generated by B in the year to 31 March The directors concluded, however, that no impairment of the goodwill in B was required as the issue was a one-off and had been addressed by the investment in the new equipment. 3. The investment in the new safety equipment resulted in POP avoiding significant repairs which had been a large part of administrative expenses in previous years.
