A: SOURCES OF LONG-TERM FINANCE
Chapter 1
FINANCIAL MARKETS
1. What are financial markets?

Financial markets are generally where companies can raise finance either in the short-term or long-
term. Short-term financial markets are referred to as the money markets, whilst long-term financial
markets are referred to as the capital markets.
Typical finance sought on the financial markets are treasury bills, commercial paper and certificates of
deposit, all of which have been discussed in CIMA F1.
Typical finance sought on the capital markets are issues of debt, equity and derivatives, which is the
focus of CIMA F2. The main capital markets for UK companies are:
๏ London Stock Exchange (LSE)
๏ Alternative Investment Market (AIM)
๏ Eurobond Market
Capital markets operate through banks and stock exchanges (financial intermediaries) taking surplus
funds from individuals, companies and governments. The banks use these funds to provide finance to
individuals, companies and governments. Direct funding without the requirement of financial
intermediaries is possible but it is more risky for the lending institution.
2. Primary and Secondary markets

The primary market is whereby new finance is sought through new issues. The secondary market is
whereby existing financial instruments (equity shares, debt and derivatives) are traded. Both the LSE
and AIM serve a purpose as both primary and secondary markets.
3. Advisors
In order to seek a listing on the capital markets the following advisors would be required to ensure
compliance with the rules and regulations of the market:
๏ Sponsor Advises the board and coordinates the process

๏ Bookrunner Finds investors and determines pricing
๏ Lawyer Due diligence and draft prospectus
๏ Reporting accountant Financial due diligence and tax advice
๏ Financial PR Communication strategy
Chapter 2
LONG–TERM FINANCE
Incorporated entities use two primary sources of long-term finance;
๏ Equity - relates to money invested within a business by it shareholders
๏ Debt - relates to a business borrowing money from an investor or financial institution.
1. Equity Finance
1.1. Ordinary equity shares
๏ Owning a share confers part ownership.
๏ High risk investments offering higher returns.
Advantages (to the company) Disadvantages (for the company)

๏ No fixed interest payments ๏ An expensive form of raising finance (issue
cost).
๏ No repayment required ๏ No tax relief on dividend payments
๏ Shares can be easily disposed of if ๏ Dilution of ownership on issue of new
company is listed shares
๏ A high proportion of equity can increase
the overall company cost of capital (see
later)
1.2. Preference shares

Preference shares do not offer ownership or voting rights within a business.
The features of a preference share are as follows:
๏ Fixed dividend (coupon % x par value).
๏ Paid in preference to ordinary share dividends.
1.3. Unlisted companies

Unlisted companies find it more difficult to raise equity finance than a listed company, due to the
following reasons:
๏ Lack of audited information.
๏ Marketability.
๏ Higher risk of unlisted companies.
1.4. Listed companies

An unlisted company will seek to become listed once it has grown enough to meet the requirements
of the local stock exchange. Below are listed possible advantages of becoming listed and possible
disadvantages.
Advantages Disadvantages
๏ Creating a market for the company's shares. ๏ Increasing accountability to shareholders and
stakeholders.
๏ Enhanced status and financial standing of the ๏ Need to maintain dividend and profit growth

๏ Increasing public awareness and public ๏ Strict rules and regulations of governing

exchange).
๏ Exit route for existing shareholders. ๏ Increased media interest.
๏ Opportunity to implement share option ๏ Becoming more vulnerable to an unwelcome
schemes for employees. takeover.
1.5. Methods of obtaining a listing

๏ Fixed price offer for sale
An offer to the general public at a fixed price that has the potential to raise the highest possible
price for the company as it is offered to the widest possible market.
If price is perceived to be too high then it may not be attractive to investors which creates a risk
that the issue fails to raise the amount of finance required.
The risk can be mitigated by paying an underwriting fee, where the underwriter commits to
buying unsubscribed shares.
๏ Offer for sale by tender

An offer where investors are able to bid for shares and the shares are issued only to those
investors who have bid at the strike price or above.
Investors are asked to subscribe to shares at one price in a given list.
If there are insufficient bidders at the top price, they are moved into the bracket at the lower
price until either:
‣ A desired amount of capital has been raised, or ;
‣ The maximum possible capital has been raised.
There is more chance of a successful take up of the shares with the flexibility of a sale by tender
which mitigates the risk of having to pay underwriting fees.
Example 1 - ABC
ABC receives the following bids for shares at different possible prices:
Price (cents) Number of bids
400 2,000,000
375 2,800,000
350 3,800,000
325 1,700,000
300 500,000
Calculate the issue price at which ABC will raise $30 million.
Calculate the price at which ABC will maximise proceeds from the public offer.
๏ Private placing
Shares are placed with / sold to institutional investors, keeping the cost of the issue to a
minimum and thus making the share issue slightly cheaper.
๏ Stock exchange introduction

No capital is raised by the company but the shares become listed on the stock exchange. The
company’s founders can dispose of those shares more easily and realise capital gain whilst
retaining (should they so choose) a controlling interest in the company.
2. Debt Finance
2.1. There are two main points to consider when issuing debt;
๏ Debt interest it tax deductible, thus can be cheaper than equity finance
๏ Debt interest must be paid prior to dividends and irrespective of profit levels thus there is a risk
of default if interest and principal payments are not met.
Other points to consider when opting for debt finance include the following:
๏ Security
The debt holder will normally require some form of security (fixed or floating) against which the
funds are advanced. This means that in the event of default the lender will be able to take assets
in exchange of the amounts owing.
๏ Covenants
A further means of limiting the risk to the lender is to restrict the actions of the directors
through the means of covenants. These are specific requirements or limitations laid down as a
condition of taking on debt financing. They may include:
‣ Dividend restrictions.
‣ Financial ratios (e.g. gearing or interest cover).
‣ Issue of further debt.
2.2. Types of debt finance

Debt may be raised from two general sources, banks or investors.
๏ Bank finance
For many companies bank borrowings are the primary form of debt finance. These could be the
high street banks or more likely for larger companies the large number of merchant banks
concentrating on ‘securitised lending’.
๏ Traded investments
Traded debt instruments are sold by the company, through a broker, to investors.
Typical features may include:
‣ The debt is denominated in units of $100, this is called the nominal or par value.
‣ Interest is paid at a fixed rate (coupon rate) on the nominal or par value.
‣ The debt has a lower risk than ordinary shares and may be protected by the charges and
covenants.
Instruments could be:

๏ Redeemable - the amounts borrowed will need to be repaid at a particular point in the future.
๏ Irredeemable - the amount borrowed never needs to be repaid
๏ Convertible - the investor has the option to convert for cash or shares within the company.
Chapter 3
WEIGHTED AVERAGE COST OF CAPITAL
(WACC)
1. WACC formula
The weighted average cost of capital is the average cost of the company’s finance (equity, loan notes,
bank loans, and preference shares) weighted according to the proportion each element bears to the
total pool of funds.
WACC formula
⎛ Ve ⎞ ⎛ V ⎞
WACC= ⎜ ⎟ k e + ⎜ d ⎟ k d (1–T)
⎝ Ve +Vd ⎠ ⎝ Ve +Vd ⎠
Where,
ke - Cost of equity
kd - Cost of debt (to the company)
Ve - Market value of equity in the company
Vd - Market value of debt in the company
2. Use of WACC as the discount rate in project appraisal

WACC can be used to evaluate the company’s investment projects if the following conditions apply:
๏ No change in financial risk
The company will maintain its existing capital structure. Using the existing market value mix of
funds as weights in the calculation assumes that in the long run funds will be raised in this
proportion (i.e. in the long run the capital structure of the company will remain unchanged).
This implies that the current gearing ratio is thought to be optimal.
๏ No change in business risk

The cost of capital is only valid for the existing level of risk in the enterprise. The project must
therefore have the same level of business risk as the company does currently and will cause no
change in this risk.
๏ Small project
The project is small relative to the size of the company thus representing a marginal investment.
This is because the costs of capital calculated refer to the minimum required return of marginal
investors and therefore are only appropriate for the evaluation of marginal changes in the
company’s total investment.
๏ ‘Pooled funds’
No attempt is made to match a project with a particular source of funds. All funds are regarded
as forming a pool out of which all projects are financed.
๏ Perfect capital markets

Only under conditions of perfect capital markets will the costs of capital calculated represent
the true opportunity cost of funds used.
3. Calculating market values of sources of finance

WACC is calculated based upon market values, therefore it is important to ensure that you convert
book value of all sources of finance as follows:
๏ Ordinary shares Ex-div price per share x number of shares in issue

๏ Preference shares Ex-div price per share x number of shares in issue
๏ Debentures Book value x market value / 100
๏ Bank loans Book value (market value does not exist)
4. Cost of Equity (ke)

The cost of equity for an incorporated entity can be calculated using the dividend valuation model.
The dividend valuation model states that the current ex-div market value (P0 ex-div) is equal to the
present value of future dividends (D0), discounted at the required rate of return of the equity
shareholder (ke)
D0 (1 + g)
P0 ex-div =
ke – g
We can then re-arrange the formula to find the cost of equity (ke) that shareholders must have used to
arrive at the share value.
D0 (1 + g)
ke = +g
P0 ex-div
g = dividend growth rate (assumed constant)
D0 = current dividend
P0 ex-div = current ex-div market value of the share
Example 1 - Banks
Banks Ltd has an ex-div share price of $2.50 and has recently paid out a dividend of 10 cents. Dividends are
expected to grow at an annual rate of 4%.
Calculate the cost of equity.
Note:
“ex-div” is the share price immediately after a dividend has been paid
“cum-div” is the price immediately before a dividend is paid
The difference between “ex-div” and “cum-div” is the value of the dividend, D0, so that the “cum-div”
share price can be expressed as follows;
P0 cum-div = P0 ex-div + D0
Example 2 – Cohen
Cohen Ltd has a cum-dividend share price of $4.15 and is due to pay out a dividend of 35 cents per share.
Dividends are expected to grow at an annual rate of 5%.
5. Estimating Growth
5.1. Historic growth method
⎛D ⎞
g = ⎜ 0 ⎟ −1
⎝ Dn ⎠
Where;
D0 = current dividend
Dn = dividend n years ago
Example 3 - Wilson
Wilson paid a dividend of 25 cents per share 5 years ago, and the current dividend is 42 cents.
The current share price is $5.50 ex-div.
Calculate an estimate of the dividend growth rate.
Example 4 - Stiles
Stiles paid a dividend of 10 cents per share 5 years ago, and the current dividend is 16 cents.
The current share price is $2.36 cum-div.
5.2. Gordon’s growth model

g= rxb
Where;
r = Return on reinvested funds
b = Proportion of funds retained
Example 5 - Charlton
The ordinary shares of Charlton are quoted at $4.45 cum div and a dividend of 45 cents is just about to be
paid.
The company has a return on capital employed of 15% and each year pays out 25% of its profits after tax as
dividends.
6. Cost of Preference shares (kp)

Preference shares carry a fixed rate charge to the company in the form of a dividend rather than in
terms of interest.
Preference shares are normally treated as debt rather than equity but they are not tax deductible.
Their cost can be calculated using the dividend valuation model with no growth, giving the following
formula;
D0
kp =
P0 ex-div
Example 6 - Moore
Moore’s 8% preference shares ($1) are currently trading at $1.10 ex-div.
Calculate the cost of the preference shares.
7. Cost of Debt (kd)

There is only one approach to calculate the cost of debt. We can’t call it “dividend” valuation model
since debt doesn’t pay dividends but it follows the same principle of future cash flows related to
current market value.
7.1. Non-tradable debt
Bank loans and other non-traded loans have a cost of debt equal to the coupon rate adjusted for tax.
So we can use the following formula;
kd = Interest rate(%) x (1 – T)
Example 7 - Ball
Ball has a loan from the bank at 8% per annum.
Corporation tax is charged at 25%.
Calculate the cost of debt.
7.2. Traded debt

Traded debt is always quoted in $100 nominal units or blocks. Therefore all calculations are done by
reference to $100, regardless of the total amount borrowed.
Interest paid on the debt is stated as a percentage of nominal value ($100 as stated). This is known as
the ‘coupon rate’. It is not the same as the cost of debt.
Debt can be:

๏ Irredeemable.
๏ Redeemable (at par or at a premium)
๏ Convertible (investor has the choice of redeeming for cash or a specified number of shares in
place of cash).
7.3. Irredeemable debt

To calculate the cost of debt we will need to calculate the IRR of the future cash flows, which gives the
following formula:
I (1 − T)
kd =
P0 ex-int
Where;
I - Coupon interest rate
T - Tax rate
P0 ex-int - Ex-interest market value of debt
Example 8 - Bobby
Bobby has 10% irredeemable loan notes that are quoted at $120 ex-int.
Corporation tax is payable at 25%.
7.4. Redeemable debt

To calculate the cost of debt we will need to calculate the IRR of the future cash flows, which now
includes the redemption value of the debt in n years’ time. The relevant cash flows would be:
Time Narrative Cash flow
0 Market value of debt (P0)
1–n Annual coupon interest paid (net of tax) I (1 – T)
n Redemption value of debt RV
To then calculate the IRR we need to use linear interpolation.
Example 9 - Peters
Peters has 10% loan notes quoted at $95 ex-interest redeemable in 5 years’ time at par.
Corporation tax is paid at 25%.
7.5. Convertible debt

In this situation the holder of the debt has the option to redeem for cash or for shares.
To calculate the cost of debt using IRR the redemption value is assumed to be the greater of either:
๏ The share value on conversion, or
๏ The cash redemption value if not converted.
Example 10 - Hunt
Hunt has convertible loan notes in issue that may be redeemed at a 10% premium to par value in 4 years.
The coupon is 8% and the current market value is $110.
Alternatively the loan notes may be converted at that date into 25 ordinary shares.
The current value of the shares is $5 and they are expected to appreciate in value by 2% per annum.
The tax rate is 25%.

Calculate the cost of debt for the convertible loan notes.
8. WACC - Calculation
Example 11 - Ramsey
The following information is in the statement of financial position of Ramsey:
$000s
Ordinary shares (25c) 4,000
8% redeemable bonds 6,000
5% bank loan 4,000
The current ex-div share price is $4.00 and a dividend of 25c has just been paid which is 10c higher than the
dividend paid 5 years ago.
The 8% bonds are trading on an ex-interest basis at $94.00 per $100 bond and are redeemable in seven
years’ time.
Corporation Tax is 25%
Calculate the weighted average cost of capital.

2. Adjustments
2.1. Fair Value
A subsidiary’s identifiable net assets should be adjusted to fair value in the group financial statements
before goodwill is calculated. The fair values will need to be adjusted through (W2), subsidiary’s net
assets, and on the face of the group financial statements as these fair values are not normally reflected
in the individual accounts of the subsidiary.
Common fair value adjustments are for the following items:
๏ Property, plant and equipment – adjust for fair values at acquisition and at the reporting date,
as well as any additional depreciation in the post-acquisition period.
๏ Inventory – adjust for the fair value at acquisition and at the reporting date, noting any
potential sale of inventory in the post-acquisition period.
๏ Contingent liabilities – adjust for the fair value at acquisition and at the reporting date, even
though the contingent liability is not recognised in the individual accounts of the subsidiary.
2.2. Intra-group balances
When goods are sold on credit by one group company to another in the same group a cancellation is
required to remove, in accordance with the single entity concept, the receivable/payable amount on
the group statement of financial position.
Dr Payable (CSFP) X
Cr Receivable (CSFP) X
2.3. Cash in transit

Intra-group balances may be unequal due to cash in transit, i.e. cash that has been paid by one entity
but has not yet been received by the other entity and so the cash is not recorded in the receiving
company’s accounts.
The intra-group balances need to be equal before any elimination, so the cash in transit needs to be
recorded in the receiving entity’s books.
Dr Bank (CSFP) X
Cr Receivable (CSFP) X
2.4. Provision for unrealised profit (PUP)

If the goods sold between group companies have not been sold outside of the group by the year end
a PUP adjustment is required to remove the unrealised profit on the transaction. The adjustment is
always done in the sellers books.

1. Adjustments
1.1. Mid-year acquisition
If a subsidiary is acquired mid-year then the results can only be consolidated from the acquisition date
as this is when the parent gained control. The results of the subsidiary will need to be pro-rated before
being included in the consolidated financial statements
1.2. Intra-group sales

The group is treated as a single entity so any sales that have taken place between the parent and the
subsidiary will need to be removed in full.

Cr Cost of sales (CSPL) X
1.3. Provision for unrealised profits (PUP)

Any unrealised profit adjustment needs to be made in the seller’s financial statements within cost of
sales as an increase to cost of sales.
1.4. Dividends
Dividends received by the parent from the subsidiary need to be removed from the group accounts to
reflect the single entity concept. Any dividends shown in the group financial statements need to be
those received from outside of the group only.
1.5. Fair value

Any change in the fair value of the assets or liabilities of the subsidiary is accounted for in S’s column
in the consolidation schedule (e.g. extra depreciation or increase/decrease in contingent liability)

Chapter 7
ASSOCIATES
1. Definition
If an investor holds, directly or indirectly, between 20 per cent of the voting rights of an entity then it
is normally considered an associated entity and is accounted for in accordance with IAS 28 Investment
in associates.
IAS 28 states that there is a presumption that the investor has significant influence over the entity,
unless it can be clearly demonstrated that this is not the case.
The key concept in the definition is ‘significant influence’. IAS 28 explains that significant influence is
the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the entity but is not control
over those policies.
The existence of significant influence by an investor is usually evidenced in one or more of the
following ways:
๏ representation on the board of directors;
๏ participation in policy-making processes;
๏ material transactions between the investor and the entity;
๏ interchange of managerial personnel;
A shareholding of between 20% and 50% is assumed to give the investing company significant
influence over its investment. This means it is treated as an associate and equity accounting is used.
Using equity accounting results in a one line entry in both the group income statement and in the
group statement of financial position, an associate is NOT CONSOLIDATED as a subsidiary.
2. Statement of Financial Position

An investment in associate is shown in the statement of financial position under non-current assets.
This additional line item is calculated using equity accounting as follows:
Cost of investment X
Add: % x post acquisition reserves (W5) X
Less: impairment of associate to date (X)
X
Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income
The share of the associates profit for the year is shown immediately before profit before tax and is
calculated as:
๏ Share of profit of associate = group % x A’s profit for the year
๏ The share of the associates other comprehensive income is shown on one line in other
comprehensive income of the group and is calculated as:
Share of other comprehensive income of associate = % x A’s other comprehensive income
3. Adjustments
Provision for unrealised profits (PUP)
If there has been trading between the group and the associate, then any profit on inventory sold
between the parties that is still held at the reporting date will need to be removed, however we adjust
for the group share only.
If the parent sells to the associate:

Dr Group retained earnings/Cost of sales
Cr Investment in associate (reduce goods to cost to the group)
If the associate sells to the parent:

Dr Group retained earnings/Share of profit of associate
Cr Group inventory (reduce goods to cost to the group)
Example 1 – PUP
LR owns 40% of the equity share capital of GH. During the year to 31 December 20X3 LR purchased goods
with a sales value of $500,000 from GH. One quarter of these goods remained in inventories at the year
ended 31 December 20X3. GH includes a mark-up of 25% on all sales.
Which of the following accounting adjustments would LR process in the preparation of its
consolidated financial statements in relation to these goods?
A Dr Cost of sales $10,000 Cr Inventories $10,000
B Dr Share of profit of associate $25,000 Cr Inventories $25,000
C Dr Share of profit of associate $10,000 Cr Inventories $10,000

million. At 1 January 20X4, the identifiable net assets of Finn had a fair value of $1,850 million, and
retained earnings were $450 million. The excess in fair value is due to an item of property, plant and
equipment that has a remaining useful life of 10 years.
2. It is the group policy to measure the non-controlling interest at acquisition at is proportionate share of
the fair value of the subsidiary’s net assets.
3. On 1 July 20X5, Rey acquired 25% of the equity interest of Ben for a cash consideration of $200 million.
Ben’s profits for the year were $80 million, out of which a dividend of $20 million was declared on 31
December 2015. The 25% holding gives Rey the power to participate in the operating and financing
decisions of Ben.
Prepare the group consolidated statement of financial position of Rey as at 31 December 20X5.

Chapter 8
JOINT ARRANGEMENTS (IFRS 11)
IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements looks at entities under joint control. Joint control exists only when
decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.
1. Joint operations (JO)

A joint operation is whereby the parties have rights to the assets and obligations to the liabilities of
the arrangement.
The accounting for the arrangement is done by each party recording their share of the arrangements
assets and liabilities in their own statement of financial position and their share of revenue and costs
in their own statement of profit or loss.
2. Joint Venture (JV)

A joint venture is whereby the parties have rights to the net assets of the arrangement. A separate
entity is created and each of the venturers hold shares in the new entity.
The accounting for the arrangement is done using equity accounting.
Example 1 – Joint operation

Lyon has a 40% share of a joint operation, a natural gas station. The following information relates to the joint
arrangement activities:
The natural gas station cost $15 million to construct and was completed on 1 January 20X5. Its useful life is
estimated at 10 years.
In the year, gas with a direct cost of $22 million was sold for $30 million. Additionally, the joint arrangement
incurred operating costs of $1.5 million during the year.
Assets, liabilities, revenue and costs are apportioned on the basis of the shareholding.
Lyon has only contributed and accounted for its share of the construction cost, paying $6 million. The
revenue and costs are receivable and payable by the other joint operator who settles amounts outstanding
with Lyon after the year-end (31 December 20X5)
Show how Lyon would account for the above in its consolidated financial statements for the year
Chapter 9
DISCLOSURE OF INTERESTS IN OTHER
ENTITIES (IFRS 12)
IFRS 12 requires that a parent discloses the significant assumptions and judgement used in determining
whether control exists over an investee.
The parent will therefore list all the entities it has a relationship with and explain the basis of the accounting
treatment.
Chapter 10
COMPLEX GROUPS
1. Vertical Complex Structure

A vertical complex group exists where a subsidiary company has an investment of its own.
80%
70%
๏ X controls Y and Y controls Z. Effectively X controls both Y and Z.

๏ Y is a subsidiary and Z is a sub-subsidiary.
๏ Y is an 80% subsidiary with a 20% non-controlling interest.
๏ Z is a sub- subsidiary with a 56% effective controlling interest (80% x 70%) and an effective non-
controlling interest of 44%.
2. Importance of Acquisition Date

X
80% Acquired 1 Jan X1
60% Acquired 1 April X0
Y is an 80% subsidiary with a 20% non-controlling interest and an acquisition date of is 1 Jan X1.
Z is a 48% subsidiary (80% x 60%) with an effective non-controlling interest of 52%. The date of
acquisition is also 1 Jan X1 because the two subsidiaries combined together at an earlier date (1 April
X0) therefore that date is ignored because it did not give the parent company control.
3. Consolidated statement of profit or loss

The subsidiary and sub-subsidiary are consolidated as normal but the non-controlling interest needs
to be calculated in the sub-subsidiary based upon the effective non-controlling interest percentage.
Example 1 – Matty
Summarised statements of profit or loss for the year to 31 December 20X5.
Matty Luke Ben

$000’s $000’s $000’s
Operating profit 148 151 98
Investment income 20 15 -
Profit before tax 128 144 98
Profit for the year 98 112 78
Notes:
Matty has owned 80% of Luke and Luke owns 75% of Ben for several years.
Luke and Ben have declared and paid dividends during the year of $25,000 and $20,000 respectively.
Produce the summarised Matty Group statement of profit or loss for the year to 31 December 20X5.
4. Consolidated statement of financial position

The standard SFP workings are the same as they are for a simple group but an adjustment needs to be
made for the indirect holding that the parent has in the sub-subsidiary. The adjustment affects the
goodwill calculation of the sub-subsidiary and the non-controlling interest calculation of the
subsidiary.

Current liabilities 19,000 16,000 14,000
Total equity and liabilities 204,000 156,000 103,000
1. On 1 January 20X5, Bravo purchased 80% of the equity share capital of Gayle, a public limited
company, for a cash consideration of $74 million. The fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired
was $90 million and the fair value of the non-controlling interest was $25 million. The fair value of the
net assets at acquisition was not materially different to their book value.
2. On 1 July 20X5, Gayle purchased 70% of the equity share capital of Russell, a public limited company
for a cash consideration of $55 million when the retained earnings were $20 million. The fair value of
the non-controlling interest was $20 million at acquisition. The fair value of the net assets at
acquisition was not materially different to their book value.
3. The group policy is to value the non-controlling interest at acquisition using the fair value method.
Prepare the consolidated statement of financial position for the Bravo Group as at 31 December 20X5
5. D-shaped Complex Groups

A D-shaped complex group arises when the parent company has both a direct and an indirect holding
in the sub-subsidiary.
X
80%
Y 10%
75%
๏ X controls both Y and Z because it has the power to direct the activities of both companies.
๏ Y is an 80% subsidiary with a 20% non-controling interest.
๏ X has an effective controlling interest in Z of 70% and effective non-controlling interest of 30%,
calculated as:
Direct 10%
Indirect (80% x 75%) 60%
70%
Effective NCI 30%
Note: Care must be taken when calculating the goodwill arising on acquisition of Z (sub-subsidiary) as
the cost of investment will contain both a direct and an indirect part.
Example 3 – ‘D’-shaped complex group structure

Kallis, a public limited company, operates in the manufacturing sector. The draft statements of financial
position at 31 December 20X5 are as follows:
Kallis Steyn Adams
$000s $000s $000s
Non-current assets 100,000 74,000 60,000

Non-current liabilities 35,000 30,000 5,000
Current liabilities 40,000 19,000 13,000
Total equity and liabilities 305,000 179,000 88,000
1. On 1 January 20X5, Kallis purchased 60% of the equity share capital of Steyn, a public limited
company, for a cash consideration of $95 million. The fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired
was $90 million and the fair value of the non-controlling interest was $25 million. The fair value of the
net assets at acquisition was not materially different to their book value.
2. On the same date both Kallis and Steyn each acquired a 30% holding in Adams, as part of an attempt
to conceal the true ownership of Adams. The retained earnings of Adams were $30 million and the fair
value of the non-controlling interest was $4 million. The fair value of the net assets at acquisition was
not materially different to their book value.
Prepare the consolidated statement of financial position for the Bravo Group as at 31 December 20X5
Chapter 11
CHANGES IN GROUP STRUCTURE
1. Acquisitions
At any time an entity can buy additional shares in a business. As more shares are acquired the level of
influence/control may change and so the accounting treatment may also change.
The following main movements are considered:

Investment (<20%) Control (>50%)
Significant Influence (20%-50%) Control (>50%)
Control (>50%) Control (>50%)
The first two are treated in the same way as the acquiring entity now has control of the subsidiary for
the first time but the third is slightly different because the parent already has control.
2. Investment becomes a subsidiary

The previously held investment is re-measured to fair value with any resulting gain recognised
through profit or loss.
Goodwill would be calculated as follows:
$
Cost of additional investment X
Fair value of acquirers existing interest X
X
Non-controlling interest X
Fair value of identifiable net assets at control (X)
X
Example 1 – Jeremy (investment to subsidiary)

Jeremy acquired 40% of the equity interest of David for $40 million several year ago. On the 1 January 20X5,
Jeremy acquired an additional 35% for $45 million when the fair value of the identifiable net assets were
$105 million.
The fair value of the non-controlling interest on 1 January 20X5 was $32 million the fair value of the original
40% holding was $52 million.
Calculate the goodwill to appear in the Jeremy group statement of financial position as at 31
December 20X5.
3. Increased Stake in Subsidiary (control maintained)

If the status does not change from no control to control then no re-measurement to fair value is
required.
There is no gain or loss to be recognised as it is simple a reallocation between parent’s reserves and
the non-controlling interest.
The group equity is adjusted as follows:

Dr Non-controlling interest
Cr Cash/Shares
Dr/Cr Reserves (β)
Example 1 – Jeremy (contd.)

Continuing from the previous example.
On 31 December 20X5, Jeremy acquired a further 5% of David for $8 million.
David had made profits since being acquired by Jeremy of $10 million. There has been no impairment of
goodwill.
Prepare the journal entry to record the change in ownership from a 75% holding to an 80% holding.
Example 2 – Sample question

JK owned 70% of the equity share capital of GH at 31 December 20X2. JK purchased a further 20% of GH’s
equity shares on 31 December 20X3 for $520,000, when the existing non-controlling interest (NCI) in GH was
measured at $759,000.

4. Disposals
During the year the group may dispose of shares in any of its investments and the results could be as
follows;
Subsidiary No investment at all
Subsidiary Subsidiary
(reduced stake)
Subsidiary Associate
Subsidiary Trade investment
Under the revised IFRS3 disposal only really occurs when one entity loses control over another.
Control lost - Group accounts

This will include a full disposal, reducing the investment to an associate or trade investment.
On disposal of a controlling interest, any retained interest (associate or investment) is measured at fair
value on the date control is lost.
The group recognises the proceeds from disposal together with the fair value of any retained interest
in its investment
The group derecognises the net assets of the subsidiary at the date of disposal together with their
related goodwill and NCI at disposal.
The balance is the gain/loss on disposal, calculated as:

Example 3 – Socks (control lost)

Socks owned 90% of Mogs before it decided to sell a 50% stake of its investment on 31 December 20X5 for
$120 million. The non-controlling interest at that date was $53 million and the fair value of the remaining
40% is $96 million.
The goodwill on acquisition of the original 90% holding was $38 million and the net assets at the date of
disposal were $201 million.
Calculate the group profit on disposal that will appear in the group financial statements of Socks
group for the year-ended 31 December 20X5.
5. Control retained - Group accounts

If after the disposal of shares control is still retained i.e. 80% subsidiary reduced to 60% subsidiary then
the transaction is treated as an adjustment to the parent’s equity.
In the consolidated statement of profit or loss there is no gain or loss on disposal because the parent
still maintains control over the subsidiary. The subsidiary will therefore be consolidated for the whole
year as normal, however the non-controlling interest will change and will be calculated on a pro rata
basis.
In the consolidated statement of financial position the goodwill remains unchanged as it is a historical
figure that was calculated on initial acquisition of the subsidiary.
The subsidiary will be consolidated as normal but there will be an increased in the non-controlling
interest. The change in non-controlling interest will be shown as an adjustment to the parent’s equity.
In effect it is a transaction between owners.
Dr Cash/Shares
Cr Non-controlling interest
Dr/Cr Reserves (β)
Example 4 – Betty (reduction in ownership interest)

Betty owned 90% of the equity shares of Penny before it then sold 20% of the subsidiary on 31 December
20X5 for $90 million.
The net assets at the date of disposal of the shares was $350 million and the goodwill on acquisition of the
original 90% holding was $50 million.
Prepare the journal entry to record the change in ownership from a 90% holding to a 70% holding.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS
(IAS 21)
1. Functional Currency
“The functional currency is the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity
operates.”
The primary economic environment in which an entity operates is normally the one in which it
primarily generates and expends cash. An entity’s management considers the following factors in
determining its functional currency:
๏ The currency that dominates the determination of the sales prices
๏ The currency that most influences operating costs
๏ The currency in which an entity’s finances are denominated is also considered.
IAS 21 Foreign currency translation says that, when an individual company has transactions that are
denominated in a foreign currency, they should translate them at the rate prevailing when the
transactions occurred i.e. the historic rate (HR).
At the year end, the statement of financial position items need to be classified as either monetary or
non-monetary items. The monetary items are then re-translated at the year-end using the closing rate
(CR). Any exchange gains or losses that arise are taken directly to profit or loss.
The non-monetary items are not re-translated at the year-end.
Non-current asset investments, tangible non-current assets and inventory are deemed to be non-
monetary and everything else is monetary.
Example 1 – Functional currency

Flower Inc. has its functional currency as the $USD. It trades with several suppliers overseas and bought
goods costing 400,000 Dinar on 1 December 20X5. Flower paid for the goods on 10 January 20X6. Flower’s
year-end is 31 December. The exchange rates were as follows:
1 December 20X5 4.1 Dinar : $1USD

31 December 20X5 4.3 Dinar : $1USD
10 January 20X6 4.4 Dinar : $1USD
Show how the transaction would be recorded in Flower’s financial statements.
2. Group accounts
If a group has a subsidiary company that is located overseas, that subsidiary will have a different
functional currency to the rest of the group. Before consolidation of the subsidiary its results will need
to be correctly stated in its functional currency. Once this has been done the results can then be
translated into the presentational currency of the group and consolidated.

Chapter 14
TAXATION (IAS 12)
1. Deferred tax
Deferred tax arises because;
Accounting profit (PFY) ≠ Taxable profit (PCTCT)
The reasons for this can be split into two categories:

๏ Permanent differences
Items that would have been used in calculating accounting profit but would NOT be used in
calculating taxable profit e.g. some entertaining expenses
๏ Temporary differences
Items that would have been used in calculating accounting profit and taxable profit but in
different accounting periods e.g. depreciation/tax allowances.
IAS 12 considers only temporary differences.
Example 1 – Tracy (ignoring deferred tax)

Tracy purchased an item of property, plant and equipment on 1 January 20X5 for $5 million. It was
estimated that it had a useful economic life of 5 years but according to the tax authority had a 50% tax
allowance in its first year and 20% reducing balance there after.
Tracy made an accounting profit of $2m for the year, which is expected to continue unchanged for the next
two years.
Income tax rate 20%
Ignoring deferred tax calculate the profits after tax for Tracy for each of the three years ending 31
December 20X5 to 20X7.
2. Calculating deferred tax

1. Calculate the the temporary difference, as being the difference between the carrying vale of the
asset or liability and its tax base.
$’000s
Carrying value X
Tax base X
Temporary difference X
2. Calculate the deferred tax position by multiplying the temporary difference by the income tax
rate at which the asset or liability will be settled at.
X% x temporary difference = closing deferred tax provision
3. The closing deferred tax position is either a deferred tax asset or a liability.
A deferred tax liability arises if:
Carrying value > Tax base – taxable temporary difference
A deferred tax asset arises if:
Carrying value < Tax base – tax deductible temporary difference
4. The movement in the deferred tax position goes through profit or loss.

allowance in its first year and 20% reducing balance there after.
Tracy made an accounting profit of $2m for the year, which is expected to continue unchanged for the next
two years.

PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
AND CONTINGENT ASSETS (IAS 37)
1. Definitions
Liability - A present obligation arising from past events, the settlement of which is expected to result
in an outflow or economic benefits.
Provision - A liability of uncertain timing and amount.
A provision shall be recognised when:
๏ an entity has a present obligation, legal or constructive, as a result of a past event;
๏ it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation;
๏ a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation
1.1. Legal obligation
An obligation that derives from:
๏ a contract
๏ legislation
๏ other operation of law
1.2. Constructive obligation
An obligation that derives from an entity’s actions where;
๏ by an established pattern of past practice, published policies or a sufficiently specific current
statement, the entity has indicated to other parties that it will accept certain responsibilities;
and
๏ as a result, the entity has created a valid expectation on the part of those other parties that it
will discharge those responsibilities.
1.3. Measurement
The amount recognised as a provision should be the best estimate of the expenditure required to
settle the present obligation. If the amount to be settled in the future is materially different then the
amount should be discounted to present value.
Example 1 – Bebob
During the year Bebob acquired a gold mine at a cost of $5 million. In addition, when all the ore has been
extracted (estimated in 10 years time) the company will face estimated costs for landscaping the area
affected by the mining that have a present value of $2 million. These costs would still have to be incurred
even if no further ore was extracted.
The directors have proposed that an accrual of $200,000 per year for the next ten years should be made for
the landscaping.
Discuss whether you think the directors are right in their chosen treatment.
2. Specific Examples
IAS 37 highlights certain situations and gives guidance on their treatment.
๏ Future operating losses
No provision for future operating losses as there is no obligation for the losses
๏ Onerous contracts
A contract in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed
the economic benefits expected to be received under it.
The present obligation under the contract should be recognised as a provision.
๏ Restructuring
The restructuring of a business can be the sale or termination of a business, closure or relocation
of a business, changes in management structure or fundamental reorganisations.
A provision should only be recognised if a constructive obligation exists.
A constructive obligation exists if there is:
‣ A detailed formal plan for the restructuring has been identified
and,
‣ A valid expectation has been raised in those affected that it will be carried out by either
implementing the plan or announcing it to those affected
No obligation arises for the sale of an operation until the entity is committed to the sale i.e.
there is a binding sale agreement.
3. Contingent Liabilities
A contingent liability is:
๏ a possible obligation that arises from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only
by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not wholly within
the control of the entity
๏ a present obligation that arises from past events but is not recognised because;
๏ it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation
or,
๏ the amount of the obligation cannot be measures with sufficient reliability
Example 2 – Wedding
After a wedding in the summer of 20X8 ten people died as a result of food poisoning from eating food
manufactured by Future. At 31 December 20X8 the company was advised that there was probably no
liability and the matter was disclosed as a contingent liability at that date.
As the result of developments in the case, which is still not settled, the company was advised that it is now
probable, as at 31 March 20X9 that the company will be found liable.
Some directors consider that the matter should remain a contingent liability until the court case decides the
matter, while others consider that provision should be made for it in the financial statements for the year
ended 31 March 20X9.
Discuss the accounting treatment suggested by the directors, justifying your answer with reference
to IAS 37.
Example 3 – ER (Sample question)

ER organise music festivals throughout Europe. In September 20X3 there was an accident at a concert and
one of the main performers was injured. This performer is pursuing a lawsuit, claiming that the safety
equipment provided by ER was faulty and that ER was responsible for the accident. The lawsuit was filed in
November 20X3 and at the year-end ER’s legal advisors advised that ER was likely to lose the case although
at that time no reliable estimate of the liklely payout could be made.
Which of the following statements is TRUE in respect of this scenario?
A There is a probable outflow of economic benefit but the timing and amount is uncertain and so a
contingent liability should be included in ER’s financial statements at 31 December 20X3.
B A probable future outflow of economic benefit will result from this lawsuit and so a provision should
be recorded in ER’s statement of financial position at 31 December 20X3
C There is a probable outflow of economic benefit but the timing and amount is uncertain and so no
disclosure is necessary as at 31 December 20X3.
D The lawsuit has not concluded at the reproting date and so no disclosures about the accident are
required to be included in ER’s financial statements at 31 December 20X3.
4. Contingent Assets
A contingent asset is a possible asset that arises from past events and whose existence will be
confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more uncertain future events not
wholly within the control of the entity.
A contingent asset is not recognised in the financial statements but the entity will disclose its nature
and effect in the notes to the accounts.
Chapter 16
LEASES (IFRS 16)
IFRS 16 Leases is to be adopted for accounting periods starting on or after 1 January 2019. It can be adopted
earlier but only if the entity has already adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from contracts with customers.
The new standard on leases is replacing the old standard (IAS 17) where the existence of operating leases
meant that significant amounts of finance were held off the balance sheet. In adopting the new standard all
leases will now be brought on to the statement of financial position, except in the following circumstances:
๏ leases with a lease term of 12 months or less and containing no purchase options – this election is
made by class of underlying asset; and
๏ leases where the underlying asset has a low value when new (such as personal computers or small
items of office furniture) – this election can be made on a lease-by-lease basis.
The accounting for low value or short-term leases is done through expensing the rental through profit or
loss on a straight-line basis.
Example 1 – Low-value assets

Banana leases out a machine to Mango under a four year lease and Mango elects to apply the low-value
exemption. The terms of the lease are that the annual lease rentals are $2,000 payable in arrears. As an
incentive, Banana grants Mango a rent-free period in the first year.
Explain how Mango would account for the lease in the financial statements.
1. Lessee accounting
1.1. Initial recognition
At the start of the lease the lessee initially recognises a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. [IFRS 16:22]
Right of use asset Lease liability

Measured at the amount of the lease liability plus Measured at the present value of the lease payments
any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee. payable over the lease term, discounted at the rate
implicit in the lease
• Lease liability • Fixed payments less incentives
• Initial direct costs • Variable payments (e.g. CPI/rate)
• Estimated costs for dismantling • Expected residual value guarantee
• Payments less incentives before • Penalty for terminating (if reasonably
commencement date certain)
• Exercise price of purchase option (if
reasonably certain)
Note: if the rate implicit in the lease cannot be
determined the lessee shall use their incremental
borrowing rate
1.2. Subsequent measurement
Right of use asset Lease liability

Cost less accumulated depreciation Financial liability at amortised cost
Note: Depreciation is based on the earlier of the
useful life and lease term, unless ownership
transfers, in which case use the useful life.
Example 2 – Lessee accounting

On 1 January 2015, Plum entered into a five year lease of machinery. The machinery has a useful life of six
years. The annual lease payments are $5,000 per annum, with the first payment made on 1 January 2015. To
obtain the lease Plum incurs initial direct costs of $1,000 in relation to the arrangement of the lease but the
lessor agrees to reimburse Pear $500 towards the costs of the lease.
The rate implicit in the lease is 5%. The present value of the minimum lease payments is $22,730.
Demonstrate how the lease will be accounted in the financial statements over the five year period.
2. Sale and leaseback

A sale and leaseback transaction occurs when one entity (seller) transfers an asset to another entity (buyer)
who then leases the asset back to the original seller (lessee).
The companies are required to account for the transfer contract and the lease applying IFRS 16, however
consideration is first given to whether the initial sale of the transferred asset is a performance obligation
under IFRS 15.
If the transfer of the asset is not a sale then the following rules apply:
Seller-Lessee Buyer-Lessor
• Continue to recognise the asset • Do not recognise the asset
• Recognise a financial liability (= • Recognise a financial asset (= proceeds)
proceeds)
If the transfer of the asset is a sale then the following rules apply:
Seller-Lessee Buyer-Lessor
• Derecognise the asset • Recognise purchase of the asset
• Recognise the sale at fair value
• Recognise lease liability (PV of lease • Apply lessor accounting
rentals)
• Recognise a right-of-use asset, as a
proportion of the previous carrying value
of underlying asset
• Gain/loss on rights transferred to the
buyer
Example 3 – Sale and leaseback (1)

Apple required funds to finance a new ambitious rebranding exercise. It’s only possible way of raising
finance is through the sale and leaseback of its head office building for a period of 10 years. The lease
payments of $1 million are to be made at the end of the lease period
The current fair value of the building is $10 million and the carrying value is $8.4 million. The interest rate
implicit in the lease is 5%.
Advise Apple on how to account for the sale and leaseback in its financial statements if the office
building were to be sold at the fair value of $10 million and:
(a) Performance obligations are not satisfied; or,
(b) Performance obligations are satisfied.
Note: If the proceeds are less than the fair value of the asset or the lease payments are less than market
rental the following adjustments to sales proceeds apply:
๏ Any below-market terms should be accounted for as a prepayment of the lease payments; and,
๏ Any above-market terms should be accounted for as additional financing provided to the lessee.
Example 4 – Sale and leaseback (2)

Apple required funds to finance a new ambitious rebranding exercise. It’s only possible way of raising
finance is through the sale and leaseback of its head office building for a period of 10 years. The lease
payments of $1 million are to be made at the end of the lea se period
The current fair value of the building is $10 million and the carrying value is $8.4 million. The interest rate
implicit in the lease is 5%.
Advise Apple on how to account for the sale and leaseback in its financial statements if the
performance obligations are satisfied and the building is sold for the following:
(a) $9 million; or,
(a) $11 million.

1. Financial assets
1.1. Initial measurement
๏ Initially recognise at fair value including transaction costs, unless classified as fair value through profit
or loss
1.2.1 Equity instruments
Fair value through profit or loss (default)

๏ Transaction costs are recognised immediately through profit or loss
๏ Re-measure to fair value at the reporting date, with gains or losses through profit or loss
Fair value through other comprehensive income
If there is a strategic intent to hold the asset the option to hold at fair value through other comprehensive
income is available. Re-measure to fair value at reporting date, with gains or losses through other
comprehensive income.
1.2.2 Debt instruments
Amortised cost
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it fulfils both of the following tests:
๏ Business model test – intent to hold the asset until its maturity date; and,
๏ Contractual cash flow test – contractual cash receipts on holding the asset.
Note: The financial asset may still be measured using fair value through profit or loss, even if both tests are
satisfied, if it eliminates an inconsistency in measurements (fair value option).
1.3. Derecognition
Financial assets are derecognised when sold, with gains or losses on disposal through profit or loss. Gains or
losses previously recognised through other comprehensive income are transferred to retained earnings
through the statement of changes in equity.
Example 1 – Financial assets

Norman has the following financial assets during the financial year.
1. Norman bought 100,000 shares in a listed entity on 1 November 2015. Each share cost $5 to purchase
and a fee of $0.25 per share was paid as commission to a broker. The fair value of each share at 31
December 2015 was $3.50.
2. Norman bought 200,000 shares in a listed entity on 1 March 2015 for $500,000, incurring transaction
costs of £40,000. Norman acquired the shares as part of a long term strategy to realise the gains in the
future. The fair value of the shares was £620,000 at 31 December. The shares were subsequently sold
for $650,000 on 31 January 2016.
3. Norman bought 10,000 debentures at a 2% discount on the par value of $100. The debentures are
redeemable in four years’ time at a premium of 5%. The coupon rate attached to the debentures is 4%.
The effective rate of interest on the debenture is 5.73%.
Explain how each of the above financial assets will be accounted for in the financial statements.
2. Financial liabilities
2.1. Initial measurement
๏ Initially recognise at fair value less transaction costs (‘net proceeds’)

๏ Amortised cost
๏ Fair value though profit or loss
2.3. Derecognition
๏ Financial liabilities are derecognised when they have been paid in full or transferred to another party.
Example 2 – Financial liabilities

Norma issues 20,000 redeemable debentures at their $100 par value, incurring issue costs of $100,000. The
debentures are redeemable at a 5% premium in 4 years’ time and carry a coupon rate of 2%. The effective
rate on the debenture is 4.58%.
Calculate the amounts to be shown in the statement of financial position and statement of profit or
loss for each of the four years of the debenture.
3. Convertible debentures
If a convertible instrument is issued, the economic substance is a combination of equity and liability and is
accounted for using split equity accounting.
The liability element is calculated by discounting back the maximum possible amount of cash that will be
repaid assuming that the conversion doesn’t take place. The discount rate to be used is that of the interest
rate on similar debt without and conversion option.
The equity element is the difference between the proceeds on issue and the initial liability element.
The liability element is subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the interest rate on similar debt
without the conversion option as the effective rate. The equity element is not subsequently changed.
Example 3 – Convertible debentures

Alice issued one million 4% convertible debentures at the start of the accounting year at par value of $100
million.
The rate of interest on similar debt without the conversion option is 6%.
Explain how Alice should account for the convertible debenture in its financial statements for each of
the three years.
4. Disclosure (IFRS 7)
Financial instruments, particularly derivatives, often require little initial investment, though may result in
substantial losses or gains and as such stakeholders need to be informed of their existence. The objective of
IFRS7 is to allow users of the accounts to evaluate:
๏ The significance of the financial instruments for the entity’s financial position and performance
๏ The nature and extent of risks arising from financial instruments
๏ The management of the risks arising from financial instruments
Nature and extent of financial risks
Financial risk arising from the use of financial instruments can be defined as:
๏ Credit risk
๏ Liquidity risk
๏ Market risk
Disclosures with regards to these risks need to be both qualitative and quantitative.
Chapter 18
SHARE BASED PAYMENTS (IFRS 2)
The measurement and recognition of share based payments depends on the whether these payments
are equity settled or cash settled share based payments.
1. Equity Settled
If the fair value of goods/services is known then this should be used in order to value the option, if the
fair value of the goods/services is not known then the fair value of the option at the grant date should
be used to value the options.
The fair value should be taken to profit or loss over the vesting period on a straight line basis, based
on the number of options expected to be exercised. The corresponding credit entry will be recorded
in equity reserves.
Example 1 – Fair value equity settled (services)

Brie granted 10,000 equity settled share based payments to its 20 directors on 1 January 2015. The options
vest on 31 December 2017. It is anticipated that none of the directors will leave over the three year period.
The fair value of the option is as follows:
$
1 January 2015 12.00
31 December 2015 13.50
31 December 2016 13.80
31 December 2017 14.20
Prepare the extracts to be shown in the statement of profit or loss and the statement of financial
position for each of the three years ended 31 December 2015 to 31 December 2017.
Example 2 – Options expected to be exercised

On 1 January 2014, Edam granted 20,000 share options to each of its ten directors. The conditions attached
to the share option scheme is that the directors must remain an employee of Edam for three years. The fair
value of each equity settled share based payment at the grant date was $60.
At 31 December 2014, it was estimated that four directors would leave before the end of the three years.
At 31 December 2015, due to a downturn in the economy, it was estimated that one director would leave
before the end of the three years.
position for the year ended 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2015.
Example 3 – Fair value equity settled (goods)

Caerphilly purchased inventory at a cost of $10 million on 1 July 2015. The goods were sold in November
2015 for $14 million.
Caerphilly had cash flow problems during 2015 and negotiated with its supplier to exchange the goods for
options on its shares. The shares had a market value of £11.5 million on 1 July 2015.
Explain how the transaction should be dealt with in the financial statements for the year-ended 31
December 2015.
2. Cash settled
If the fair value of goods/services is known then this should be used in order to value the option, if the
fair value of the goods/services is not known then the fair value of the option should be reassessed at
each reporting date and this value should be used to value the options.
The fair value should be taken to profit or loss over the vesting period based on the number of options
expected to be exercised. However as there will be a cash payment, the credit entry is recorded as a
liability.
Example 4 – Fair value cash settled

Gouda granted 10,000 cash settled share based payments to its 20 directors on 1 January 2015. The options
vest on 31 December 2017. It is anticipated that none of the directors will leave over the three year period.
The fair value of the option is as follows:
$
1 January 2015 12.00
31 December 2015 13.50
31 December 2016 13.80
31 December 2017 14.20
position for each of the three years ended 31 December 2015 to 31 December 2017.
Example 5 – Options expected to be exercised (cash settled)

On 1 January 2014, Cheddar granted 20,000 share appreciation rights to each of its ten directors. The
conditions attached to the cash settled share based payment scheme is that the directors must remain an
employee of Cheddar for three years. The fair value of each cash settled share based payment at the 31
December 2014 was $80 and at 31 December 2015 was $75.
At 31 December 2014, it was estimated that four directors would leave before the end of the three years.
At 31 December 2015, due to a downturn in the economy, it was estimated that two directors would leave
before the end of the three years.
position for the year ended 31 December 2014 and 31 December 2015.
Example 6 Sample question – Share based payments

RT granted 1,000 share options to each of its 400 employees on 1 January 20X3, with the condition that they
continue to work for RT for 4 years from the grant date. The fair value of each option at the grant date was
$5.
25 employees left in the year to 31 December 20X3 and at that date another 60 were expected to leave over
the next three years.

Chapter 19
RELATED PARTIES (IAS 24)
1. Introduction
Related party relationships are a normal part of everyday business. Often groups of companies are
formed based on their trading relationship.
This relationship can have a direct impact on the financial performance of an individual company. This
is mainly due to the special terms and arrangements that could arise between related parties e.g. an
entity sells its products to a subsidiary in the same group at a smaller mark-up than it would to an
entity that wasn’t a related party. Obviously this would have a direct impact on profit margins.
When it comes to balances outstanding the same could be true e.g. an entity allows an extended
credit period to its related parties so distorting is debt collection figures.
If the users of the financial statements are aware of these relationships, transactions and balances
then they can take them into account when assessing the performance and position of the entity.
2. Definitions
Related party – A party is related to an entity if the party either:
๏ controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the entity
๏ has an interest in the entity that gives a significant influence over the entity
๏ has joint control over the entity
๏ is an associate (IAS 28 Investment in Associates)
๏ is a joint venture in which the entity is a venturer (IAS 31 Interests in joint ventures)
๏ is a member of the key management personnel of the entity or its parent
๏ is a close family member of any of the above
๏ is a post-employment benefit plan for the employees of the entity or of any entity that is a
related party of the entity
Related party transaction – The transfer of resources, services or obligations between related parties,
regardless of whether a price is charged.
Control – Is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain
benefits from its activities.
Joint control – Is the contractually agreed sharing of control over an economic activity.
Key management personnel – Those persons having authority and responsibility for planning,
directing and controlling the activities of the entity, directly or indirectly, including any director of that
entity.
Significant influence – The power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of an
entity but is not control over those policies. Significant influence may be gained by share ownership,
statute or agreement.
Example 1 – CXZ (March 2012)

Which one of the following would be regarded as a related party of CXZ?
A The wife of CXZ’s finance director
B CXZ’s main supplier, supplying approximately 35% of CXZ’s purchases

C CXZ’s biggest customer, providing 60% of CZ’s annual revenue
D CXZ’s banker, providing CXZ with and overdraft facility and a short-term loan at
market rates

๏ Other related parties
Chapter 20
REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH
CUSTOMERS (IFRS 15)
IFRS 15 has replaced the previous IFRS on revenue recognition, IAS 18 Revenue and IAS 11 Construction
Contracts. It uses a principles-based 5-step approach to apply to contact with customers.
The five steps are as follows:
1. Identification of contracts
2. Identification of performance obligations (goods, services or a bundle of goods and services)
3. Determination of transaction price
4. Allocation of the price to performance obligations
5. Recognition of revenue when/as performance obligations are satisfied
1. Identification of contracts
The contract does not have to be a written one, it can be verbal or implied. In order for IFRS 15 to apply the
following must all be met:
๏ The contract is approved by all parties
๏ The rights and payment terms can be identified
๏ The contract has commercial substance
๏ It is probable that revenue will be collected
2. Identification of performance obligations

If the goods or services that have agreed to be exchanged under the contract are distinct (i.e. could be sold
alone) then they should be accounted for separately.
If a series of goods or services are substantially the same they are treated as a single performance obligation.
Illustration – Performance obligations

LiverTech is a computer business that primarily sells computer hardware. As well as selling computers, it
also supplies and installs the software to its customers and provides a technical support package over a
number of years. The business commonly sells the supply and installation, and technical support in a
combined goods and services contract.
The combined goods and services contract has two separate performance obligations, which would need to
be separated out and recognised separately.
The installation of software would be recognised once complete and the provision of technical services over
the period of the support service.
3. Determination of transaction price

The amount the selling party expects to receive is the transaction price. This should consider the following:
๏ Significant financing components
๏ Variable consideration
๏ Refunds ad rebates (paid to the customer!)
Example 1 – Transaction price

Luckers Co. sells a car to a customer for $10,000, offering interest-free credit for a three-year period. The car
is delivered to the customer immediately. The annual market rate of interest on the provision of consumer
credit to similar customers is 5%.
What is the transaction price?
4. Allocation of the price

The price is allocated proportionately to the separate performance obligations based upon the stand-alone
selling price.
Example 2 – Allocation of price

Richer Co. sells home entertainment systems including a two-year repair and maintenance package for
$10,000. The price of a home entertainment system without the repair and maintenance contract is $9,000
and the price to renew a two-year maintenance package is $2,000.
How is the $10,000 contract price allocated to the separate performance obligations?
Note: Ignore any discounting and time value of money.
5. Recognition of revenue
Once control of goods or services transfers to the customer, the performance obligation is satisfied and
revenue is recognised. This may occur at a single point in time, or over a period of time.
If a performance obligation is satisfied at a single point in time, we should consider the following in
assessing the transfer of control:
๏ Present right to payment for the asset
๏ Transferred legal title to the asset
๏ Transferred physical possession of the asset
๏ Transferred the risks and rewards of ownership to the customer
๏ Customer has accepted the asset.
Example 3 – IFRS 15 (1)

Telephonica sells mobile phones, selling them for “free” when a customer signs up for a 12 month contract.
The contract costs the customer $45 per month.
Explain how the revenue should be recognised in Telephonica’s financial statements
Note: Vodaphone sells mobile phones without a monthly contract, selling the handset for $480. Call and
data charges are $20 per month. Ignore discounting and the time value of money
Example 4 – IFRS 15 (2)

LiverTech is a computer business that primarily sells computer hardware. As well as selling computers, it
also supplies and installs the software to its customers and provides a technical support package over two
years. The business commonly sells the supply and installation, and technical support in a combined goods
and services contract.
The combined goods and services contract sells for $1,600, but if sold separately the supply and installation
is sold for $1,500 and the technical support for $500.
If LiverTech sold a combined contract on 1 July 20X7, demonstrate how the transaction would be
presented in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 20X7.
If a performance obligation is transferred over time, the completion of the performance obligation is
measured using either of the following methods:
๏ Output method – revenue is recognised based upon the value to the customer, i.e. work certified.
Work certified to date

Output method =
Total contract revenue
๏ Input method – revenue is recognised based upon the amounts the entity has used, i.e. costs incurred
or labour hours.
Costs to date
Input method (cost based) =
Total estimated costs
Example 5 – Performance obligations over time and the statement of profit or loss (1)
Alex commenced a three year building contract during the year-ended 31 December 20X4 and continued
the contract during 20X5. The details of the contract are as follows:
$m
Total contract value 45
Costs incurred to date @ 20X5 20
Estimated costs to completion 12
Work certified as completed in 20X5 15
Stage of completion @ 20X5 70%
Profit recognised to date @ 20X4 3.3
Show how this contract would be dealt with in the statement of profit or loss for the year ended 31
December 20X5.
Where not profit can be calculated if contracts spanning more than one accounting period, i.e. it is
loss making, then the revenue is limited to the recoverable costs.
Example 6 – Performance obligations over time and the statement of profit or loss (2)
Evelyn commenced a building contract in 20X5 that has seen large increases in future costs to complete.
The contract will still be completed on schedule in 20X6. The details from the year ended 31 December 20X5
are as follows:
$m
Total contract value 40
Costs incurred to date 25
Estimated costs to completion 20
Stage of completion 45%
Show how this contract would be accounted for in the statement of profit or loss for the year ended
31 December 20X5.
As contracts that span more than one accounting period progress, the company is creating an asset for the
customer that needs to be recognised in the statement of financial position. The amount to be recognised is
as follows:
$
Costs incurred to date X
Recognised profits X
Recognised losses (X)
Receivables (amounts invoiced) (X)
Contract asset/(liability) X/(X)
Example 7 – Performance obligations over time and the statement of financial

position
Noah has a three year contract which commenced on 1 January 20X5. At 31 December 20X5 Noah extracted
the following balances from its ledger relating to the contract:
$000 $000
Total contract value 140,000
Cost incurred up to 31 December 20X5:
Attributable to work completed 52,000
Inventory purchased for use in future years 8,000 60,000
Progress billing to date 45,000
Cash received 26,500
Other information:
Expected further costs to completion 48,000
At 31 December 20X5, the contract was certified as 40% complete.

Prepare extracts from the statement of profit or loss and statement of financial position for the year-
6. Specifics
Principal vs agent - When a third party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, the seller is
required to determine whether the nature of its promise is a performance obligation to:
๏ Provide the specified goods or services itself (principal) or
๏ Arrange for a third party to provide those goods or services (agent)
Repurchase agreements - When a vendor sells an asset to a customer and is either required, or has an
option, to repurchase the asset. The legal form here is always a sale followed by a purchase at a later date.
The economic substance is more likely to be a loan secured against an asset that is never actually being sold.
Bill and hold arrangements - an entity bills a customer for a product but the entity retains physical
possession of the product until it is transferred to the customer at a point in time in the future
Consignments – arises where a vendor delivers a product to another party, such as a dealer or retailer, for
sale to end customers. The inventory is recognised in the books of the entity that bears the significant risk
and reward of ownership (e.g. risk of damage, obsolescence, lack of demand for vehicles, no opportunity to
return them, the showroom-owner must buy within a specified time if not sold to public)
Chapter 21
ETHICS
1. Fundamental Principles of the code

A professional accountant is required to comply with the following fundamental principles:
๏ Integrity
๏ Objectivity
๏ Professional competence and due care
๏ Confidentiality
2. Integrity
A professional accountant should be straightforward and honest in all professional and business
relationships.
The principle of integrity imposes an obligation on all professional accountants to be straightforward
and honest in professional and business relationships. Integrity also implies fair dealing and
truthfulness.
A professional accountant should not be associated with reports, returns, communications or other
information where they believe that the information:
๏ Contains a materially false or misleading statement;
๏ Contains statements or information furnished recklessly; or
๏ Omits or obscures information required to be included where such omission or obscurity would
be misleading.
3. Objectivity
A professional accountant should not allow bias, conflict of interest or undue influence of others to
override professional or business judgments.
The principle of objectivity imposes an obligation on all professional accountants not to compromise
their professional or business judgment because of bias, conflict of interest or the undue influence of
others.
A professional accountant may be exposed to situations that may impair objectivity. It is Impracticable
to define and prescribe all such situations. Relationships that bias or unduly influence the professional
judgment of the professional accountant should be avoided.
4. Professional Competence and Due Care

A professional accountant has a continuing duty to maintain professional knowledge and skill at the
level required to ensure that a client or employer receives competent professional service based on
current developments in practice, legislation and techniques. A professional accountant should act
diligently and in accordance with applicable technical and professional standards when providing
professional services.
The principle of professional competence and due care imposes the following obligations on
professional accountants:
To maintain professional knowledge and skill at the level required to ensure that clients or Employers
receive competent professional service; and
To act diligently in accordance with applicable technical and professional standards when providing
professional services.
5. Confidentiality
A professional accountant should respect the confidentiality of information acquired as a result of
professional and business relationships and should not disclose any such information to third parties
without proper and specific authority unless there is a legal or professional right or duty to disclose.
The principle of confidentiality imposes an obligation on professional accountants to refrain from:
Disclosing outside the firm or employing organization confidential information acquired as a result of
professional and business relationships without proper and specific authority or unless there is a legal
or professional right or duty to disclose; and
Using confidential information acquired as a result of professional and business relationships to their
personal advantage or the advantage of third parties.
6. Preparation and Reporting of Information

(Section 220 of CIMA’s Code of conduct)
Professional accountants in business are often involved in the preparation and reporting of
information that may either be made public or used by others inside or outside the employing
organization. Such information may include financial or management information, for example,
forecasts and budgets, financial statements, management discussion and analysis, and the
management letter of representation provided to the auditors as part of an audit of financial
statements. A professional accountant in business should prepare or present such information fairly,
honestly and in accordance with relevant professional standards so that the information will be
understood in its context.
A professional accountant in business who has responsibility for the preparation or approval of the
general purpose financial statements of an employing organization should ensure that those financial
statements are presented in accordance with the applicable financial reporting standards.
A professional accountant in business should maintain information for which the professional
accountant in business is responsible in a manner that:
๏ Describes clearly the true nature of business transactions, assets or liabilities;
๏ Classifies and records information in a timely and proper manner; and
๏ Represents the facts accurately and completely in all material respects.
Threats to compliance with the fundamental principles, for example self-interest or intimidation
threats to objectivity or professional competence and due care, may be created where a professional
accountant in business may be pressured (either externally or by the possibility of personal gain) to
become associated with misleading information or to become associated with misleading information
through the actions of others.
The significance of such threats will depend on factors such as the source of the pressure and the
degree to which the information is, or may be, misleading. The significance of the threats should be
evaluated and, if they are other than clearly insignificant, safeguards should be considered and
applied as necessary to eliminate them or reduce them to an acceptable level. Such safeguards may
include consultation with superiors within the employing organization, for example, the audit
committee or other body responsible for governance, or with a relevant professional body.
Where it is not possible to reduce the threat to an acceptable level, a professional accountant in
business should refuse to remain associated with information they consider is or may be misleading.
Should the professional accountant in business be aware that the issuance of misleading information
is either significant or persistent, the professional accountant in business should consider informing
appropriate authorities in line with the guidance in section 140 of the code. The professional
accountant in business may also wish to seek legal advice or resign.
Chapter 22
EARNINGS PER SHARE (IAS 33)
Earnings per share (EPS) is an important ratio as it is one of the component parts of the Price/Earnings
ratio (P/E ratio). The P/E ratio is used by investors to help them identify the relative riskiness of
investments and the potential future performance of a business. This then allows an investor to see if
investments are over-valued or under-valued by the stock market.
EPS is also considered important by investors, analysts and others as a key measurement of
performance and as a basis for making decisions. It is principally for these reasons that some
accounting standard setters, amongst them the IASB, have produced accounting standards regulating
its calculation.
1. Basic earnings per share

profit attributable to the ordinary shareholder’s of the parent
Basic EPS =
weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year
Profit attributable to owners of the parent = (less irredeemable preference dividends).
The earnings per share figure is disclosed at the bottom of the statement of profit or loss.
1.1. Changes to Share Capital

Issue at Full Market Price
The cash received from the shareholder/investor has an impact on earnings and consequently a
weighted average calculation needs to be done for the number of shares in issue during the year.
Bonus Issue
There is no cash received from the bonues issue so there is no impact on earnings and therefore no
weighted average calculation needs to be done.
Comparatives will need restating.
Rights Issue
The cash received from the shareholder/investor has an impact on earnings and so a weighted
average calculation needs to be done for the number of shares in issue during the year.
However as the shares are issued at below their market value there is a “free element” to the shares
issued, so an adjustment will need to be made using a rights issue fraction.
Comparatives will need restating.
Example 1 – Basic EPS

Ruth makes up its accounts to 31 June each year. On 1 July 20X5 Ruth has 500 million ordinary shares in
issue.
Profits for the year to 31 June 20X6 were $250m. There were no preference shares in issue.
Calculate the basic earnings per share assuming:
1. Share capital has not changed during the year
2. An issue of 50 million new shares at full market price on 1 August 20X5.
3. A 1 for 4 bonus issue occurring on 1 November 20X5.
4. A 1 for 5 rights issue on 1 February 20X6 held at $1.25. The price of a share immediately before the
rights issue was $1.40.
2. Diluted Earnings per Share

This figure takes into account potential future changes to ordinary share capital that may occur as a
result of commitments that exist at the year end.
profit attributable to owners of the parent
Diluted EPS = weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the year
IAS 33 requires both the basic and the fully diluted earnings per share figure to be disclosed in the
financial statements, but only if the fully diluted figure is lower.
Future dilutions can occur if a company has issued convertible debt or share options.
Example 2 – Diluted EPS

Flanagan makes up his accounts to 31 December each year and has calculated the basic EPS based on actual
shares of 1,000 million and earnings of $500m, for the year ended 31 Dec 20X5.
Convertible debentres
On 31 December 20X6 Flanagan had in issue of $10m of 5% convertible loan stock. The loan stock is
convertible at the following dates with the following terms:
31 Dec 20X6 125 shares for every $100 of loan stock
31 Dec 20X7 120 shares for every $100 of loan stock
The tax rate is 20%
Share options
Flanagan also granted 100m options at the same date. The option price is $2.50 but the average fair value of
a share is $4.00.
Calculate the fully diluted EPS for the year to 31 December 20X5.
3. Limitation of Earnings per Share

๏ Historic - transactions and events those that have already taken place so is of limited use for
predictive purposes although it is used as an indicator of future performance.
๏ Share price - EPS is soon out of date whereas the P/E ratio calculation uses an up to date share
price figure. If the price has been affected significantly by events after the statement of financial
position date, the mixing of a current price with an old earnings figure may be meaningless.
๏ Post-tax earnings – earnings are calculated after tax figures and if entities are subject to
significantly differing rates of tax because they are based in different countries, the comparison
is unrealistic.
๏ Accounting standards - choice of accounting treatments. It is quite likely, therefore, that
entities being compared with each other use different policies and/or bases for preparation of
the financial statements. Where such policies and bases impact upon the profit figure, as will
usually be the case, EPS figures are not strictly comparable.
๏ Accounting standards - The problem of comparability is made worse where the entities being
compared are subject to different sets of accounting standards.

Or,
Debt
Gearing ratio = Equity (shareholders’ funds) x 100%
If questions do not specify, either one of these may be used.

5. Investor Ratios
Profit for the year
Dividend Cover = Dividends (# times)
Dividends
Dividend Yield = Share price (%)
Price per share

Price/earnings ratio = Earnings per share
Note: EPS can also be calculated but that is dealt with in a previous chapter because it is a ratio with
its own accounting standard.
6. Evaluation of ratios
Example 3 – DFG (March’11)

A friend has approached you looking for some advice. He has been offered the position of Sales Director
within an entity, DFG, which supplies the building trade. He commented that he had reviewed the
information on DFG’s website and there were lots of positive messages about the entity’s future, including
how it had secured a new supplier relationship in 2010 resulting in a significant improvement in margins.
He has been offered a lucrative remuneration package to implement a new aggressive sales strategy, but
has been with his current employer for six years and wants to ensure his future would be secure. He has
provided you with the finalised financial statements for DFG for the year ended 31 December 2010, with
comparatives.
The financial statements for DFG are provided below:

Additional information:
1. Long term borrowings
The long term borrowings are repayable in 2012.
2. Contingent liability
The notes to the financial statements include details of a contingent liability of $30 million. A major
customer, a house builder, is suing DFG, claiming that it supplied faulty goods. The customer had to
rectify some of its building work when investigations discovered that a building material, which had
recently been supplied by DFG, was found to contain a hazardous substance. The initial assessment
from the lawyer is that DFG is likely to lose the case although the amount of potential damages could
not be measured with sufficient reliability at the year-end date.
3. Revaluation
DFG decided on a change of accounting policy in the year and now includes its land and buildings at
their revalued amount. The valuation was performed by an employee of DFG who is a qualified valuer.

Analyse the financial performance of DFG for the year to 31 December 2010 and its financial
position at that date AND briefly discuss DFG’s suitability as a secure employer for your friend
(8 marks are available for the calculation of relevant ratios).
7. Limitations of ratio analysis

๏ Historic – financial information has only very limited relevance when
applied to future decisions.
๏ Detail – Lack of detailed information - no breakdown of costs.
๏ Non-financial performance – largely ignored.
๏ Accounting figures – may be subject to manipulation by using creative
accounting techniques and estimation.
๏ Accounting policies – two different company’s figures may well be distorted by
different accounting practices and policies.
๏ Accounting standards – comparisons may be difficult if competitor using different
accounting standards (e.g. US GAAP)

Chapter 15
Answer 1 – Bebob
The directors are incorrect in their accounting treatment of the landscaping costs.
A provision needs to be recognised for the costs at the present value of $2million because there is a reliable
estimate, along with a legal obligation and probable outflow of economic benefit.
The $2million is also capitalised as part of the cost of the gold mine as it is a directly attributable cost under
the rules of IAS 16 PPE, giving a total cost of £7million on the statement of financial position.
The provision needs to be unwound each year using the discount rate used in calculating the present value.
The provision will be increased annually and the charge taken to finance costs in the statement of profit or
loss.
Answer 2 – Wedding
A provision should be recognised for the best estimate of settling the case based on the lawyer’s advice that
it is now probable the company will be found liable.
Answer 3 – Sample Question

The first statement - “There is a probable outflow of economic benefit but the timing and amount is
uncertain and so a contingent liability should be included in ER’s financial statements at 31 December
20X3.” – is correct.
A provision cannot be recognised as no reliable estimate can be made of the amounts, however there is a
probable outflow of economic benefit and so contingent liability is disclosed in the notes to the accounts
The disclosure of the contingent liability will involve a description of the nature and potential financial
effects.

Answer 1 – Low-value assets
An expense of $1,500 would be recognised through profit or loss for each of the four year lease. At the end
of year one an accrual of $1,500 would be recognised on the statement of financial position of which $500
would be released over the remaining three years of the lease.

DR Bank $9,000,000
DR Prepayment $1,000,000
ii) The proceeds of $11 million are greater than the $10 million fair value of the asset, so the above

Chapter 17
Answer 1 – Financial assets
1. The investment in shares is initially recognised at $500,000 on the statement of financial position as an
asset.
The transaction costs are recognised immediately through profit or loss as the shares are classified as
fair value through profit or loss.
At the reporting date the shares are re-measured to their fair value of $350,000 on the statement of
financial position.
A loss on the investment is recognised through profit or loss of $150,000.
2. The investment in shares is initially recognised at $540,000 on the statement of financial position as an
asset.
The transaction costs are included in the value of the asset as it is held strategically for the long-term
and therefore classified as fair value through other comprehensive income.
At the reporting date the shares are re-measured to fair value of $620,000 on the statement of
financial position.
The gain on the investment of $80,000 is shown through other comprehensive income.
On disposal of the shares a gain of $30,000 is recognised through profit or loss and the $80,000 held in
other comprehensive income is transferred to retained earnings through the statement of changes in
equity as a reserve transfer.
3. The investment in debt is classified as amortised cost as there are contractual coupon interest receipts
each year and the intent is to hold the asset until all the cash has been collected.
The investment in debt is initially measured at $980,000 on the statement of financial position.
The effective rate of interest is used to calculate the interest income each year. In the first year the
interest income is $56,154 ($980,000 x 5.73%) and is recognised through profit or loss.
The cash receipts of $40,000 are used to reduce the value of the investment on the statement of
financial position.
The investment in debt is held at $996,451 at the reporting date on the statement of financial position.

Answer 3 – Convertible Debentures

Alice is required to account for the convertible debentures on initial recognition based on substance and
using split equity accounting.
The liability is calculated on the assumption that there is no conversion option on the debt, so essentially
treated as a 100% loan redeem for cash. The initial liability is recognised at the present value of the future
cash flows, discounted at the rate of interest on similar debt without the conversion option.
This gives a figure of $94.7 million (see working below).
The difference between the liability and the net proceeds is recognised within equity at $5.3 million.
The subsequent accounting treatment of the debt is at amortised cost, whilst the equity balance is not
adjusted until conversion takes place in the future.

The transaction involves an equity settled share based payment for goods as the supplier has the right to

Answer 1 – CXZ

Chapter 20
Answer 1 – Transaction price
The three-year interest-free credit period suggests that the $10,000 selling price includes a significant
financing component.
The selling price is therefore discounted to present value based on a discount rate that reflects the credit
characteristics of the party (customer) receiving the financing i.e. 5%.
Therefore the transaction price is $10,000/(1.05)3 = $10,000 x 0.8638 = $8,638.
Answer 2 – Allocation of price

The performance obligations and allocation of total price are as follows:
Provision of home cinema system (9,000/11,000 × $10,000) = $8,182
Provision of maintenance contract (2,000/11,000 × $10,000) = $1,818
Answer 3 – IFRS 15 (1)

1. Identify the contract
• Signed agreement
2. Identify the separate performance obligations
• Sale of handset
• Provision of calls and data service
3. Determine the transaction price
• $540 = $45 x 12 months
4. Allocate transaction price to performance obligations
• Standalone prices (using Vodaphone)
• $720 (= $480 + (12 months x $20)
• Handset = 480/720 x 540 = $360
• Calls and data = 240/720 x 540 = $180
5. Recognise revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied
• Handset (goods) = at
• Calls and data (services) = over 12 months
Answer 4 – IFRS 15 (2)

1. Identify the contract
• Signed agreement
2. Identify the separate performance obligations
• Supply and installation service
• Technical support
3. Determine the transaction price
• Combined contract price = $1,600
4. Allocate transaction price to performance obligations
• Standalone price(supply and installation) = $1,500
• Standalone price (technical support) = $500
• Supply and installation = 1,500/2,000 x 1,600 = $1,200
• Technical support = 500/2,000 x 540 = $400
5. Recognise revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied
• Supply and installation = on installation (1 July 20X7)
• Technical support = over two years (1 July 20X7 to 30 June 20X9)

C: ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE AND POSITION
Chapter 23
Answer 1 – Past exam question – May’13
The expansion of operations has resulted in more than a 50% increase in revenue, however this has been at
the expense of gross profit margin which has reduced from 27.5% to 21.9%. This is a significant decrease in
the period, however it is likely that this is as a result of a strategic decision to sell a lower margin product as
costs would not be expected to increase that dramatically in a 6 month period. Alternatively, it could be the
result of a strategic decision to sell the new product at a discount in order to boost the volume of sales.
There has been a significant increase in inventories held, increasing from 58 days to 92 days. This is not
surprising in a period of expansion and it is most likely needed in order to meet the increased demand.
More concerning is the position on receivables and payables, as it appears that SAF is overtrading with an
increase in receivable days from 72 to 101 days in the last six months. It could be as a result of more
favourable credit terms being offered to new customers, however since receivables days have increased
beyond payable days the result will be increased pressure on the entity’s liquidity.
It could be the case that the credit control department has struggled to cope with the increased level of
activity and could be addressed simply by dedicating additional resources to credit control.
The current ratio has fallen. However the quick ratio is more of a concern as it has decreased from 1.6 to 1.2
and this together with the entity having moved from a positive cash position to having short term
borrowings, makes it clear that the expansion has caused problems with the management of working
capital. The entity should ensure that an overdraft facility is in place until procedures can be imposed to
improve the management of working capital.

Inventory days 1,220/2,420 x 182.5 = 92 days 460/1,450 x 182.5 = 58 days
Payable days 1,190/2,420 x 182.5 = 90 days 580/1,450 x 182.5 = 73 days
Receivable days 1,715/3,100 x 182.5 = 101 days 790/2,000 x 182.5 = 72 days
Current ratio 2,935/1,440 = 2.0 1,400/580 = 2.4
Quick ratio 1,715/1,440 = 1.2 940/580 = 1.6
Gross profit margin 680/3,100 x 100 = 21.9% 550/2,000 x 100 = 27.5%
Answer 2 – DFG (March’11)

To friend
Report on financial performance and position
The revenue has only marginally increased in the year by 1.6%, however, profit margins have all increased
significantly. In particular the gross profit margin has increased from 10% to 19%, which is likely to be as a
result of reduced purchase prices from the new supplier contract that was secured in the year. Whilst this is a
very positive and important step for DFG (given its low margin in the previous year) it will be important to
establish whether this reduced cost also means a reduced level of quality. If quality is being compromised
then this increase in margin maybe short-lived as customers may be driven away in the longer term.
In addition, the switch in supplier may be responsible for the lawsuit. It is a risky strategy to pursue
aggressive revenue and margin targets at the expense of supplying good quality products. Although a
contingent liability of $30 million is included in the notes, the lawyer’s assessment is that DFG is likely to lose
the court case and the payout may be more. There is already serious pressure on the entity’s finances and
the entity may not survive if the payout is any more or if other customers decide to sue. There is a potential
issue of going concern that would need clarification before you arrive at a final decision concerning
employment.
Both administration and distribution costs have increased significantly when compared to a 1.6% increase in
revenue. Whilst these costs are not that large in relation to revenues, it will be important to establish that
management have good control over expenses for the long term.
The increase in TCI is largely due to the revaluation gain reported within other comprehensive income. The
valuation was performed by an internal member of staff, which is perhaps not as ideal as someone external,
however you noted that these financial statements were finalised and so I assume they have been audited
and that the valuations are fair. One note of caution though is why the directors have chosen this year to
change the policy - could it be an attempt to boost income and reduce gearing to make further borrowing
easier, especially as the long term borrowings will need to be repaid or re-negotiated relatively soon.
However, it maybe shows good commercial sense to ensure that assets that are to be used as security for
finance are at the most up-to-date valuation.
The overall liquidity of DFG is on the low side at 1.3:1 and has fallen significantly from 2009. One
contributing factor to the worsening liquidity is the significant increase in inventories in the year. This could
be as a result of bad publicity about below standard goods and customer orders being cancelled. There is
then an increased risk of obsolete inventories. This is reinforced by the inventories days which have
increased from 146 days to 191 days. Receivables days have also increased from 71 days to 104 days, and
this be could be as a result of disputed invoices. DFG may then have a problem with slow/non-payment of
these debts. Payables days have increased from 108 days to 171 days and this could be resulting from a
deliberate attempt by DFG to improve the cash flow by delaying payment or extended credit terms given by
the new supplier to attract DFG’s business.
The cash position of DFG is clearly a concern as the cash has moved from a positive balance to an overdraft
and the long term borrowings are soon to be repaid or re-negotiated. This coupled with the poor working
capital management would indicate that DFG must raise some additional funding if it is to survive. The
gearing ratio shows deterioration on the previous year, despite an increase in equity from the revaluation.
However, it is likely to be the lack of interest cover that would put lenders off. It is unlikely that DFG could
afford to pay interest on any additional funding.
I would recommend investigating DFG in more detail before making your decision. Losing the court case
and having a large settlement to pay could result in the entity collapsing and despite the fact that details of
this are only in the notes, the seriousness of this should not be overlooked. The entity may struggle to
survive anyway as there is a lack of cash and funding options (and it should be noted that DFG did not pay a
dividend in 2010). The increases in profitability are not enough of an indicator of a stable/growing entity –
especially an entity involved in the building trade which is known for its sensitivity to the economy around
it.
