_____ goodwill of $20,000 which will be charged as an expense in the current years statement of comprehensive income. The previous periods impairment, also $20,000, will be deducted in the calculation of the opening consolidated retained earnings.
The fair value adjustment relates to plant and equipment which has a remaining life of 4 years at the date of acquisition. This extra $60,000 in value will need to be depreciated in the consolidated financial statements, giving a charge to the current years statement of comprehensive income of $15,000 and an adjustment against the opening consolidated retained earnings of $15,000.

WORKINGS
(1) Inter company sales
Reduce both revenue and cost of sales for inter company sales between Gold and Silver, $120,000 and $220,000. Do not adjust for transaction with Bronze, the associate, as we do not include their revenue or costs in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
(2) Unrealised profit
P sells to S
$120,000 × 25/125 = 24,000 × 1/3 = $8,000 Increase P cost of sales by $8,000
S sells to P, and P treats the goods as non current assets $220,000 × 25/125 = $44,000
Increase S cost of sales by $44,000
As P treats the goods as non current assets which are being depreciated over 4 years there is a need to reduce P operating expenses to the extent of one years depreciation of $11,000.
A sells goods to P
$25,000 × 25/125 = $5,000
Reduce the income from associate by unrealised profit.
(3) Income from associate
Profit after tax = $96,000 × 8/12 = 64,000
Unrealised profit ______ (5,000)
59,000
P % ______ 30%
17,700 ______
It could have been possible to include income from associate based upon profit before tax and include the associates share of the tax expense within the consolidated tax figure, IAS 28 does not specify the precise treatment and therefore either treatment would be correct.
(4) Dividend income
Subsidiary has paid a dividend of $150,000 during the year of which $90,000 would have been included in Gold’s statement of comprehensive income. This would leave dividend income from non group companies of $30,000, add this to the $10,000 income in Silvers’ statement of comprehensive income to give dividend income from non group companies to be included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income of $40,000.

(3) Accounts receivable/factoring:
As Telenorth still bears the risk of slow payment and bad debts, the substance of the factoring is that of a loan on which finance charges will be made. The amount receivable from the customer should not have been derecognised (removed from the statement of financial position) nor should all of the difference between the amount due from the customer and the amount received from the factor have been treated as an administration cost. The required adjustments can be summarised as follows:
Dr Cr
Accounts receivable 12,000

(b)
The cash flows generated from operations of $685 million are relatively healthy and more than adequate to pay the interest costs and taxation, but not as large as the equivalent profit figure. For most companies the operating cash flows tend to be higher than the profit before interest and tax due to the effects of depreciation/amortisation charges (which are not cash flows). In the case of Nedberg the depreciation/amortisation effect has been more than offset by a much higher investment in working capital of $645 million. Inventory has increased by over 50% and accounts receivable by 45%. This may be an indication of expanding activity, but it could also be an indication of poor inventory management policy and poor credit control, or even the presence of some obsolete inventory or unprovided bad accounts receivables.
A cause of concern is the size of the dividends, at $400 million they represent 67% of the profit for the period and cash flows for dividends (last year’s final plus this year’s interim) are also high at $320 million. This is a very high distribution ratio, and it seems curious that the company is returning such large amounts to shareholders at the same time as they are raising finance. $450 million has been received from the issue of new shares and $200 million from a further issue of loan notes.
4 IMPAIRMENT LOSS
(a) IAS 36
Circumstances
In identifying whether an impairment of an asset may have occurred an enterprise
should consider the following indications:
there has been a significant decrease in the market value of the asset in excess of the
normal process of depreciation;
there has been a significant adverse change in either the business or the market in
which the asset is involved. This will include changes in the technological, economic or legal environment in which the enterprise operates;
there has been a significant adverse change in the manner in which the asset has
been used, evidence is available that indicates that the economic performance of the asset will be worse than expected;
the asset has suffered considerable physical change, or obsolescence or physical
damage;
there has been an accumulation of costs significantly in excess of those originally
expected in the acquisition or construction of an asset so that it may affect profitability;
the management is committed to a significant reorganisation programme;
where an asset is valued in terms of value in use and the actual cash flows are less
than the estimated cash flows before discounting;
market interest rates or other market rates of return on investments have increased
during the period and those increases are likely to decrease materially the asset’s recoverable amount.
(b) AB
Taxi business
AB will recognise the impairment losses relating to the taxi business in the following way. (Impairment losses should be recognised if the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is less than the carrying value of the items of that unit.)
At 1 February 2008
An impairment loss of $30,000 is recognised first-for the stolen-vehicles and the balance ($15,000) is attributed to goodwill.
At 1 March 2008
1Feb 2008 Impairment 1 Mar 2008 Loss
$000 $000 $000
Goodwill 25 (25)
Intangible assets 30 (5) 25
Vehicles 90 90
Sundry net assets ___ 40 ___ ___ 40
185 (30) 155
___ ___ ___
Any impairment loss should usually be allocated in priority to those assets which have the most subjective valuations. Thus impairment identified in this way should usually be allocated firstly to goodwill and then to other assets on a pro-rata basis.
In this case the question has told us that the fair value less costs to sell of all assets except the licence have remained constant. The assets were originally measured at their fair value less costs to sell. IAS 36 says that any asset within the cash generating unit cannot be reduced below its fair value less costs to sell. Therefore it is only the licence that can be impaired. AB recognises a further impairment loss of $30,000 although the value in use of the business is lower ($150,000). The carrying amounts of the individual assets are not reduced below their fair value less costs to sell.
