3 CHAPTER 7 CONSOLIDATION Traveler (Dec 2011 Q1) Traveler, a public limited company, operates in the manufacturing sector. The draft statements of financial position are as follows at 30 November 2011: Assets: Non-current assets Property, plant and equipment Investments in subsidiaries Data Captive Financial assets Defined benefit asset Current assets Total assets Equity and liabilities: Share capital Retained earnings Other components of equity Total equity Non-current liabilities Current liabilities Total liabilities Total equity and liabilities Traveler $m , ,975 1,120 1, , ,975 Data $m , , ,601 Captive $m The following information is relevant to the preparation of the group financial statements: 1 On 1 December 2010, Traveler acquired 60% of the equity interests of Data, a public limited company. The purchase consideration comprised cash of $600 million. At acquisition, the fair value of the non-controlling interest in Data was $395 million. Traveler wishes to use the full goodwill method. On 1 December 2010, the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired was $935 million and retained earnings of Data were $299 million and other components of equity were $26 million. The excess in fair value is due to nondepreciable land. On 30 November 2011, Traveler acquired a further 20% interest in Data for a cash consideration of $220 million. 371

4 CHAPTER 7 CONSOLIDATION 2 On 1 December 2010, Traveler acquired 80% of the equity interests of Captive for a consideration of $541 million. The consideration comprised cash of $477 million and the transfer of non-depreciable land with a fair value of $64 million. The carrying amount of the land at the acquisition date was $56 million. At the year end, this asset was still included in the non-current assets of Traveler and the sale proceeds had been credited to profit or loss. At the date of acquisition, the identifiable net assets of Captive had a fair value of $526 million, retained earnings were $90 million and other components of equity were $24 million. The excess in fair value is due to nondepreciable land. This acquisition was accounted for using the partial goodwill method in accordance with FRS 103 Business Combinations. 3 Goodwill was impairment tested after the additional acquisition in Data on 30 November The recoverable amount of Data was $1,099 million and that of Captive was $700 million. 4 Included in the financial assets of Traveler is a ten-year 7% loan. At 30 November 2011, the borrower was in financial difficulties and its credit rating had been downgraded. Traveler has adopted IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and the loan asset is currently held at amortised cost of $29 million. Traveler now wishes to value the loan at fair value using current market interest rates. Traveler has agreed for the loan to be restructured; there will only be three more annual payments of $8 million starting in one year s time. Current market interest rates are 8%, the original effective interest rate is 6 7% and the effective interest rate under the revised payment schedule is 6 3%. 5 Traveler acquired a new factory on 1 December The cost of the factory was $50 million and it has a residual value of $2 million. The factory has a flat roof, which needs replacing every five years. The cost of the roof was $5 million. The useful economic life of the factory is 25 years. No depreciation has been charged for the year. Traveler wishes to account for the factory and roof as a single asset and depreciate the whole factory over its economic life. Traveler uses straight-line depreciation. 6 The actuarial value of Traveler s pension plan showed a surplus at 1 December 2010 of $72 million, represented by the fair value of the assets of $272 million, the present value of the defined benefit obligation of $200 million The aggregate of the current service cost, interest cost and expected return on assets amounted to a cost of $55 million for the year. After consulting with the actuaries, the company decided to reduce its contributions for the year to $45 million. The contributions were paid on 7 December No entries had been made in the financial statements for the above amounts. At the year end, the net defined benefit asset is $38 million. Required: (a) Prepare a consolidated statement of financial position for the Traveler Group for the year ended 30 November (35 marks) 372

5 CHAPTER 7 CONSOLIDATION (b) Traveler has three distinct business segments. The management has calculated the net assets, revenue and profit before common costs, which are to be allocated to these segments. However, they are unsure as to how they should allocate certain common costs and whether they can exercise judgement in the allocation process. They wish to allocate head office management expenses; pension expense; the cost of managing properties and interest and related interest bearing assets. They also are uncertain as to whether the allocation of costs has to be in conformity with the accounting policies used in the financial statements. Required: Advise the management of Traveler on the points raised in the above paragraph. (7 marks) (c) Segmental information reported externally is more useful if it conforms to information used by management in making decisions. The information can differ from that reported in the financial statements. Although reconciliations are required, these can be complex and difficult to understand. Similarly, there are other standards where subjectivity is involved and often the profit motive determines which accounting practice to follow. The directors have a responsibility to shareholders in disclosing information to enhance corporate value but this may conflict with their corporate social responsibility. Required: Discuss how the ethics of corporate social responsibility disclosure are difficult to reconcile with shareholder expectations. (6 marks) Professional marks will be awarded in part (c) for clarity and expression of your discussion. (2 marks) (50 marks) 373

11 CHAPTER 7 CONSOLIDATION Bravado (Jun 2009 Q1) Bravado, a public limited company, has acquired two subsidiaries and an associate. The draft statements of financial position are as follows at 31 May 2009: Bravado Message Mixted $m $m $m Assets: Non-current assets Property, plant and equipment Investments in subsidiaries Message 300 Mixted 128 Investment in associate Clarity 20 FVTOCI financial assets Current assets: Inventories Trade receivables Cash and cash equivalents Total assets 1, Equity and liabilities: Share capital Retained earnings Other components of equity Total equity Non-current liabilities: Long-term borrowings Deferred tax Total non-current liabilities Current liabilities Trade and other payables Current tax payable Total current liabilities Total liabilities Total equity and liabilities 1,

12 CHAPTER 7 CONSOLIDATION The following information is relevant to the preparation of the group financial statements: (i) On 1 June 2008, Bravado acquired 80% of the equity interests of Message, a private entity. The purchase consideration comprised cash of $300 million. The fair value of the identifiable net assets of Message was $400 million including any related deferred tax liability arising on acquisition. The owners of Message had to dispose of the entity for tax purposes by a specified date and, therefore, sold the entity to the first company to bid for it, which was Bravado. An independent valuer has stated that the fair value of the non-controlling interest in Message was $86 million on 1 June Bravado does not wish to measure the non-controlling interest in subsidiaries on the basis of the proportionate interest in the identifiable net assets but wishes to use the full goodwill method. The retained earnings of Message were $136 million and other components of equity were $4 million at the date of acquisition. There had been no new issue of capital by Message since the date of acquisition and the excess of the fair value of the net assets is due to an increase in the value of non-depreciable land. (ii) On 1 June 2007, Bravado acquired 6% of the ordinary shares of Mixted. Bravado had treated this investment as fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) in the financial statements to 31 May 2008 but had restated the investment at cost on Mixted becoming a subsidiary. On 1 June 2008, Bravado acquired a further 64% of the ordinary shares of Mixted and gained control of the company. The consideration for the acquisitions was as follows: Holding Consideration $m 1 June % 10 1 June % % 128 Under the purchase agreement of 1 June 2008, Bravado is required to pay the former shareholders 30% of the profits of Mixted on 31 May 2010 for each of the financial years to 31 May 2009 and 31 May The fair value of this arrangement was estimated at $12 million at 1 June 2008 and at 31 May 2009 this value had not changed. This amount has not been included in the financial statements. At 1 June 2008, the fair value of the equity interest in Mixted held by Bravado before the business combination was $15 million and the fair value of the noncontrolling interest in Mixted was $53 million. The fair value of the identifiable net assets at 1 June 2008 of Mixted was $170 million (excluding deferred tax assets and liabilities), and the retained earnings and other components of equity were $55 million and $7 million respectively. There had been no new issue of share capital by Mixted since the date of acquisition and the excess of the fair value of the net assets is due to an increase in the value of property, plant and equipment (PPE). The fair value of the PPE was provisional pending receipt of the final valuations for these assets. These valuations were received on 1 December 2008 and they resulted in a further increase of $6 million in the fair value of the net assets at the date of acquisition. This increase does not affect the fair value of the noncontrolling interest.. PPE is depreciated on the straight-line basis over seven years. The tax base of the identifiable net assets of Mixted was $166 million at 1 June The tax rate of Mixted is 30%. 377

13 CHAPTER 7 CONSOLIDATION (iii) Bravado acquired a 10% interest in Clarity, a public limited company, on 1 June 2007 for $8 million. The investment was accounted for as an FVTOCI investment and at 31 May 2008, its value was $9 million. On 1 June 2008, Bravado acquired an additional 15% interest in Clarity for $11 million and achieved significant influence. Clarity made profits after dividends of $6 million and $10 million for the years to 31 May 2008 and 31 May (iv) On 1 June 2007, Bravado purchased an equity instrument of 11 million dinars which was its fair value. The instrument was classified as FVTOCI. The relevant exchange rates and fair values were as follows: $ to dinars Fair value of instrument million dinars 1 June May May Bravado has not recorded any change in the value of the instrument since 31 May The reduction in fair value as at 31 May 2009 is deemed to be as a result of impairment. (v) Bravado manufactures equipment for the retail industry. The inventory is currently valued at cost. There is a market for the part completed product at each stage of production. The cost structure of the equipment is as follows: Cost per unit Selling price per unit $ $ Production process 1st stage 1,000 1,050 Conversion costs 2nd stage 500 Finished product 1,500 1,700 The selling costs are $10 per unit and Bravado has 100,000 units at the first stage of production and 200,000 units of the finished product at 31 May Shortly before the year end, a competitor released a new model onto the market which caused the equipment manufactured by Bravado to become less attractive to customers. The result was a reduction in the selling price to $1,450 for the finished product and $950 for 1st stage product. (vi) The directors have included a loan to a director of Bravado in cash and cash equivalents of $1 million. The loan has no specific repayment date on it but is repayable on demand. The directors feel that there is no problem with this accounting entry as there is a choice of accounting policy within Financial Reporting Standards (FRS) and that showing the loan as cash is their choice of accounting policy as there is no FRS which says that this policy cannot be utilised. (vii) There is no impairment of goodwill arising on the acquisitions. 378

14 CHAPTER 7 CONSOLIDATION Required: (a) (b) (c) Prepare a consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 May 2009 for the Bravado Group. (35 marks) Calculate and explain the impact on the calculation of goodwill if the non-controlling interest was calculated on a proportionate basis for Message and Mixted. (8 marks) Discuss the view of the directors that there is no problem with showing a loan to a director as cash and cash equivalents, taking into account their ethical and other responsibilities as directors of the company. (5 marks) Professional marks will be awarded in part (c) for clarity and expression of your discussion. (2 marks) (50 marks) 379
