3. The balance on the profit and loss account of H. Ltd. at the acquisition date is after providing for preference dividend of Sh5.6 million and a proposed ordinary dividend of Sh.5 million, both of which were subsequently paid and credited to the profit and loss account of M. Ltd.
4. No entries have been made in the books of M Ltd. in respect of debenture interest due from, or proposed dividends from two of its investments, except that dividends due from A Ltd were credited to M Ltd.’s profit and loss account and the corresponding entry made in its debtors.
5. The debentures of H Ltd were purchased at par.

7. The group policy is to account for any associate company using the equity method. Goodwill arising on consolidation is amortized using the straight line method over a useful life of five years, (assuming a zero residual value) a proportionate charge being made for any period of control of less than a full year. All unrealized profit on closing stock is removed from the accounts of the company that realized it, giving a proportionate charge to the minority interest if appropriate.
8. Dividends to minority interest shareholders are shown as part of minority interest.
9. H Ltd. sold a fixed asset on 31 December 2001 to M Ltd. for Sh.20 million, making a 20% profit on the invoice price. H. Ltd. depreciates its assets at 20% using the straight line method.

- Nyakuzi Ltd., a public limited company, listed at the Stock Exchange, owns 80% of the ordinary share capital of Libra Ltd., a public limited company...(Solved)
Nyakuzi Ltd., a public limited company, listed at the Stock Exchange, owns 80% of the ordinary share capital of Libra Ltd., a public limited company which is incorporated in a foreign country whose local currency is dinars.
Nyakuzi Ltd. acquired Libra Ltd. on 1 November 2001 for Sh.440 million when the retained profits of Libra Ltd. were 990 million dinars. Libra Ltd. has not issued any share capital nor revalued any of its assets since acquisition.
The directors of Nyakuzi Ltd. have now received the financial statements of their foreign subsidiary and intend to prepare the consolidated financial statements of the group for the year ended 31 October 2002.
The directors have been made aware of the fact that since the professional accountancy body in the foreign country does not require the mandatory compliance with International Accounting Standards (IAS’s) by its members, the accounting treatment of several items in the subsidiary’s financial statements may need adjustment to comply with relevant International Accounting Standards before being incorporated in the group’s consolidated financial statements.
The following financial statements relate to the two companies:
The following additional information relates to the financial statements of Libra Ltd. for the year ended 31 October 2002.
1. Under local accounting standards, Libra Ltd. had capitalized an asset “market shares” under intangible assets. This asset arose when Libra Ltd. acquired a company in the year ended 31 October 2002 and merged the companies activities with its own. This acquisition allowed Libra Ltd. to obtain a significant share of a specific market and therefore, the excess of the price paid over the fair value of assets is the “market shares” The amount capitalized was 120 million dinars and no amortization is charged by Libra Ltd. on “market shares”.
2. The amounts classified as extraordinary items in Libra Ltd’s income statement is made up as follows:
(i). Revaluation loss
A non-current assets was physically damaged during the year and an amount of 90 million dinars was written off its carrying value as an impairment loss. This asset had been revalued on 31 October 2000 and a credit of 60 million dinars still remains in the revaluation reserve in respect of this asset.
(ii). Change in accounting policy
A change in accounting policy for research expenditure was made during the period in order to comply with IAS 38. Prior to November 2001, research expenditure was capitalized. The amount included in extra-ordinary items is 130 million dinars.
3. The fair value of the net assets of Libra Ltd. at the date of its acquisition by Nyakuzi Ltd. was 2,400 million dinars after making changes to comply with the International Accounting
Standards (IAS’s). Goodwill fluctuates with changes in the exchange rate.
4. Nyakuzi Ltd. sold Ksh.150 million of components to Libra Ltd. on 31 May 2002, when the legal ownership of goods passed to Libra Ltd. Due to a problem in shipping; these goods were received by Libra Ltd. on 30 June 2002. Nyakuzi Ltd. made a profit of 20 per cent on selling price of the component. All of the goods had been utilized in the production process at 31 October 2002 but none of the finished goods had been sold at that date. Libra Ltd. had paid for the goods on 31.7.2002. This was the only inter-company transaction in the year. Foreign exchange gains/losses on such transactions are included in cost of sales by Libra Ltd.
5. A dividend of Ksh. 40 million had been paid by Nyakuzi Ltd. during the year.
6. The following exchange rates were relevant:
7. The directors have indicated that Libra Ltd. operates as a separate entity with little management interference from the holding company.

Rose Kenya Limited (RKL) exports roses to the flower auctions in Holland where its roses are consistently rated A1. In order to reduce over-reliance on single supply source, RKL purchased 80% of the ordinary share capital of Roos South Africa Limited (RSAL) on 1 January 2003. Both companies make up their accounts to 30 September each year. Neither company has any trade with the other. Both companies compete for market share in the auctions in Holland. The operations of RSAL are carried out with a significant degree of autonomy from those of RKL.
The following are the draft financial statements of the two companies prepared in Kenya Shillings (Ksh.) for RKL and South African Rand (S.A. Rand) for RSAL.
Additional information:
1. RKL financed part of the purchase price paid for the investment in RSAL by taking out a South African Rand denominated loan in South Africa at the time of purchase of the shareholding in RSAL. The amount of the loan was S.A Rand 20 million. The rate of interest on the loan is 10% fixed. Interest on the loan to 30 September 2003 has been paid in full.
2. Rates of exchanges between the Kenya Shilling (Ksh.) and the South African Rand (S.A. Rand) at different dates are as follows:
3. Trading by RSAL takes place evenly over the year. When demand is low on the auctions in Holland, domestic demand is high, and this evens out trading conditions.
4. The directors of RKL regard the S.A. Rand denominated loan as a hedge against the investment in RSAL. No capital repayments have been made nor are any foreseen in the grace period to 31 December 2005. The exchange loss on this loan should be accounted for in accordance with IAS 21 – The effects of Changes in Foreign Exchanges Rates.
5. Goodwill on the acquisition of RSAL is treated as an asset of RKL. The fair values of the identifiable assets and liabilities of RSAL on 1 January 2003 approximate book values.
6. The dividend paid by RSAL is deemed to relate to the twelve month period ended 30 September 2003. The directors of RKL state that the foreign exchange difference on the dividend paid of pre-acquisition net income should be deferred in the entirety until the foreign exchange entity is disposed of completely at some future date.
Required:
(a) The consolidated income statement of RKL and RSAL for the year ended 30 September 2003 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs).
(b) The consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year ended 30 September 2003 showing columns only for retained earnings and proposed dividends.
(c) The consolidated balance sheet as at 30 September 2003 in accordance with IFRSs, but in the same format as that of RKL.
(d) The effect on the reported profit for the year ended 30 September 2003 and the balance sheet as at 30 September 2003. if the goodwill arising on the acquisition is treated as an asset of the foreign entity.
Note: In all cases, ignore all adjustments relating to deferred tax. Goodwill amortisation should be shown as a separate line item charged in arriving at operating profit. Your answer should be correct to one decimal place.
