INTRODUCTION
An investor may increase or decrease its existing interest in the net assets of an investee
by means of various corporate actions. This change in interest should be reflected in the
financial statements as it results in a change in interest that the investor has in the net
asset value of the investee. The objective of this learning unit is to illustrate the
circumstances under which the investor’s interest in an investee changes and how such
changes are accounted for in the separate and consolidated financial statements of the
investor.
UNGC principle 10 is applicable here, stating that businesses should work against
corruption in all its forms, including extortion and bribery.

Share buy-backs and rights issues that lead to loss of control or a step acquisition is
specifically excluded from the SAICA syllabus. It is also important to note that the
acquisition of an additional interest in an associate that leads to the retention of
significant influence and the disposal of an interest in an associate, but with significant
influence both before and after, is excluded.

It is very important to understand that there is a loss of control when a subsidiary becomes an IFRS 9
investment.
At year end, the parent is not required to consolidate the investment as control is no longer present.
In practice, the parent will start with its separate financial information only and then add the information
from the investment while it was still a subsidiary (i.e. the parent's portion of the retained earnings and
reserves, 100% of the current year profits and NCI's share therein, etc.). This is also the approach
followed by Unisa. The consolidated profit or loss is calculated using the steps set out in
IFRS 10.B98-B99. These steps are as follows:
1. Derecognise the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary at their carrying
amounts when control is lost;
2. Derecognise the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests in the former subsidiary at the
date when control is lost;
3. Recognise the fair value of the consideration received, if any, from the transaction that resulted
in the loss of control;
4. Recognise any retained investment in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when
control is lost;
5. Reclassify to profit or loss, or transfer directly to retained earnings if required by other IFRSs, all
amounts recognised to other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same
basis as would be required if the parent disposed of the related assets or liabilities; and
6. Recognise any resulting difference as a gain or loss in profit or loss attributable to the parent.
These steps can also be used to follow a different approach whereby the subsidiary is first recognised
and then derecognised. When a parent loses control of a subsidiary, one of the two approaches can
be followed, and no matter which approach is followed, the resulting consolidated financial statements
would be exactly the same. The two approaches are set out in more detail below:
The first approach for preparing the pro forma consolidation journals would be to assume that on the
date that control was lost, the parent and subsidiary's financials were not combined (no consolidation
took place). The pro forma consolidation journals would therefore commence by journalising the
parent's share of the post-acquisition reserves of the subsidiary followed by 100% of the current year's
profit or loss and other comprehensive income whilst it was a subsidiary and recognising NCI's share
therein. It is important to note that the parent's and NCI's share in the subsidiary will only be disclosed
in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and statement of
changes in equity. The next step would be to eliminate the parent's gain or loss on disposal of the
shares recognised in its separate records followed by recognising the consolidated gain or loss with
the loss of control. The last step is the reclassification to profit or loss, or transfer directly to retained
earnings if required by other IFRSs, all amounts recognised in other comprehensive income in relation
to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required if the parent disposed of the related assets
or liabilities.
EXAM TECHNIQUE
Although you are encouraged to follow Unisa’s preferred approach, the solutions in the
test or exam and in SAICA’s ITC allows for both methods. You must therefore use the
method that you are most comfortable with.
MJM
12 FAC4864/104
NFA4864/104
ZFA4864/104
The second possible approach that can be used to prepare the pro forma consolidation journals would
be to assume that on the date that control was lost, the parent and subsidiary's financials were first
combined as if there was no loss of control (a consolidation took place). This would entail adding the
two trial balances of the parent and subsidiary together on a line-by-line basis. When preparing the
pro forma consolidation journals, the basic consolidation procedures will be followed (i.e. eliminating
the original investment in the subsidiary against the at acquisition equity of the subsidiary, etc).
After the basic consolidation procedures, the subsidiary should be derecognised by following the six
steps described in IFRS 10.B98-B99.
Conclusion
From the above it is clear that following the Unisa preferred approach will result in fewer pro forma
consolidation journals and whereas the steps in IFRS 10.B98 is used to calculate the consolidated
gain or loss with the loss of control, these steps need to be journalised in the alternative approach
(approach 2).
When preparing the pro forma consolidation journals when control is lost, any one of the two
approaches above can be used. Both alternatives will be marked in tests and the exam and students
will not be "forced" to use a specific approach. In our tutorial letter we use the Unisa preferred approach
(parent and subsidiary's financials were not combined) as our default solution. However, the
alternative approach will be provided on myUnisa for the additional questions in section A in the
learning unit (this tutorial letter contains the solutions using the alternative approach for the self-
assessment questions).
COMMENT
Based on the above, careful attention should be given to the fact that no assets and
liabilities pertaining to Red Ltd, goodwill or NCI has been recognised in the statement of
financial position in the consolidated financial statements as no consolidation of these
items has taken place (like items have not been added line for line). Therefore, no journal
will be processed in order to derecognise these items and the only pro forma
consolidation journal entries will be to account for since acquisition equity reserves and
the current year’s profit or loss of Red Ltd.

COMMENT
Note that the year end fair value adjustment on the remaining 10% investment [J5] in
Red Ltd does not have to be reversed nor the dividend received [J6] at group level
because from 30 November 20.19 Red Ltd is an IFRS 9 investment in the consolidated
financial statements of the Blue Ltd Group.
The fair value adjustment [J4] in the separate financial statements of the parent is
recognised in profit or loss and not other comprehensive income. This is in terms of IFRS
9.5.1.1 and IFRS 9.B5.1.2A.
The reversal of [J4] in the separate records is required in [J3] in the consolidated records
as the group has already recognised the remaining 10% interest to fair value. This is
evidenced in [C4] as the fair value of remaining interest (and therefore the fair value
adjustment) is included in the calculation of the consolidated gain on disposal of
R250 000.
COMMENT
Based on the above, careful attention should be given to the fact that no assets and
liabilities pertaining to Red Ltd, goodwill or NCI is recognised in the statement of financial
position in the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, no journal will be processed
in order to derecognise these items.

Note 4:
In the separate financial statements, the mark-to-market reserve will be the difference
between the fair value of the retained investment and the fair value of the retained
investment on disposal date:
Pro-forma journal entry J3 reverses the fair value adjustment on the date of disposal,
leaving only the fair value adjustment of R20 000 (before deferred tax) at year end in the
mark-to-market reserve. This is correct as the fair value of R85 000 on
30 November 20.19 will be regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial
asset in accordance with IFRS 9 (IFRS 10.25(b)).
Also note that the fair value adjustment in J3 will be classified through profit or loss as
IFRS 9 indicate that financial assets must be recognised through profit or loss on initial
recognition, and then only with subsequent measurement at either amortised cost, fair
value through other comprehensive income or through profit or loss. In this example
Blue Ltd elected to present subsequent changes in fair value in other comprehensive
income in a mark-to-market reserve.
The alternative approach assumes that the parent consolidated the former subsidiary’s financial
statements at the date control is lost.

COMMENT
Before any pro forma consolidation journal entries are processed, it is very important to
determine what the starting point of the consolidation process is. From 30 November
20.19 to 30 June 20.20 Red Ltd is an IFRS 9 investment in terms of IFRS 9 Financial
Instruments, in the separate financial statements of Blue Ltd (10% x 150 000 = 15 000
shares) and measured at FV through OCI. On 30 June 20.20 Blue Ltd acquired a further
70% interest in Red Ltd and thus obtained control over Red Ltd. In the separate financial
statements of Blue Ltd this investment will be measured at cost. In the consolidated
financial statements at 31 December 20.20 (the reporting date) Red Ltd is accounted for
as a subsidiary of Blue Ltd with an 80% interest. The first step in the consolidation
process will be to combine like items in the financial statements of the parent (Blue Ltd)
and the subsidiary (Red Ltd) on a line-by-line basis in accordance with IFRS 10.B86 and
the second step will be to process the pro forma consolidation journals as a result of the
first step.
As the starting point of the consolidation, it is ALWAYS assumed that the line-items of
Blue Ltd and Red Ltd have been combined. As a result, the following pro forma
consolidation journals should be processed.

COMMENT
In terms of IFRS 3.42, Blue Ltd should first remeasure its previous investment of 15 000
shares to the fair value of R130 000 at the date of acquisition. Furthermore, Blue Ltd
already recognised the resulting fair value adjustments with the remeasurement in other
comprehensive income under IFRS 9 in the separate records. For the group, the
cumulative fair value adjustments previously recognised in the mark-to-market reserve
is transferred to retained earnings on the date of acquisition.
The cost of the original investment was R85 000. The fair value of this investment on
30 June 20.20 was R130 000, which resulted in the cumulative gain of R45 000 before
tax. The after-tax amount of R34 920 is transferred within equity.

COMMENT
Please note that the scenario where control is lost, and significant influence is retained is
assessed at level 1 awareness.
Blue Ltd acquired an 80% interest in Red Ltd on 30 June 20.20 for R430 000. From this date Blue Ltd
had control over Red Ltd as per the definition of control in terms of IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial
Statements. All the assets and liabilities of Red Ltd were regarded to be fairly valued on 30 June 20.20.
No additional assets, liabilities or contingent liabilities were identified on this date.
Blue Ltd disposed of 60 000 of its shares in Red Ltd for R390 000 on 30 November 20.20. Blue Ltd
has exercised significant influence over the financial and operating policy decisions of Red Ltd since
that date. All the assets and liabilities of Red Ltd were regarded to be fairly valued and no additional
assets, liabilities or contingent liabilities were identified at this date.
The fair value of the investment in Red Ltd was deemed to be R6,50 per share at the date of the
disposal of the shares.
For Part C you can assume that the fair value for the remaining 40% interest remained unchanged on
31 December 20.20 from the date of disposal.
Additional information
1. Blue Ltd accounts for investments in subsidiaries and associates at cost in its separate financial
statements in terms of IAS 27.10(a).
REQUIRED
(a) Prepare the journal entries in the separate financial statements of Blue Ltd for the year ended
31 December 20.20.
(b) Prepare the pro forma consolidation journal entries for the Blue Ltd Group for the year ended
31 December 20.20 (you do not have to show the at acquisition elimination journal).

COMMENT
On 30 November 20.20 Blue Ltd lost control of Red Ltd and the same principles as
applied in Part A of example 1 (IFRS 10.25-26 and B97-B99) will be applicable.
From 30 November 20.20 Blue Ltd exercises significant influence over the financial and
operating policy decisions of Red Ltd and Red Ltd should be accounted for as an
associate in the group financial statements in terms of IAS 28 Investments in associates
and joint ventures.
Any investment retained in the former subsidiary should be recognised at fair value on
30 November 20.20 (date control was lost). This implies that a remeasurement gain or
loss should be recognised as part of the profit or loss recognised on the disposal of the
interest of the subsidiary.
In the solution below it is assumed that no consolidation has taken place at year end
(Unisa’s preferred approach, refer to Part A).

When there is a change in the parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of
control (% holding increase or decrease but do not result in a loss of control) it should be accounted
for as an equity transaction in accordance with IFRS 10.23. Equity transactions are transactions with
owners of the subsidiary in their capacity as owners. Non-controlling interest is classified as equity in
accordance with IFRS 10.22 and thus any transaction with NCI where there is no loss of control should
be accounted for as an equity transaction.
1. Carrying amounts of the parent and NCI’s interests in the subsidiary should reflect the change
in interests in the consolidated financial statements;
2. This change should be recognised directly in equity and thus no gain or loss is recognised in
profit or loss;
3. The acquisition of additional shares where there is no change in control is not deemed a
business combination and thus there is no change in the carrying amount of the subsidiary’s
assets (including goodwill) and liabilities recognised in the consolidated financial statements as
it is already included at 100%;
4. IFRS 10.B96 states that the amount recognised directly in equity as a result of the change in
ownership should be determined as the difference between:
1) the amount by which NCI is adjusted (difference between NCI before and after the change
in ownership) and
2) the fair value of the consideration paid or received.
Note that this amount is affected by the group’s policy whether to measure NCI either at the
proportionate share of the subsidiary’s net identifiable assets or at fair value.

On 1 March 20.19, Blue Ltd purchased 10 000 of the ordinary share capital of Red Ltd for R50 000
cash. On 1 September 20.19, Blue Ltd purchased an additional 20 000 ordinary shares in Red Ltd for
R100 000. From that date Blue Ltd exercised significant influence over the financial and operating
policy decisions of Red Ltd.
The investment in Red Ltd had the following fair values in the records of Blue Ltd at the respective
dates:
R
31 August 20.19 55 000
28 February 20.20 170 000
Blue Ltd did not have any other investments in associates or subsidiaries at 28 February 20.20.
REQUIRED
(a) Prepare the journal entries in the separate financial statements of Blue Ltd for the year ended
28 February 20.20.
(b) Prepare the pro forma journal entries for the Blue Ltd Group for the year ended
28 February 20.20.
The equity method (IAS 28.10) is applied when significant influence / joint control is obtained (for
example by purchasing additional shares resulting in an increase from a 10% interest to a
25% interest).
(a) The investment in the associate / joint venture is recognised at cost on the date when significant
influence / joint control is obtained. This cost consists of two components namely the cost of the
original investment plus the cost of the additional investment whereby significant influence is
obtained. IAS 28 does not provide clear guidance to the measurement of the original investment
(for example the 10% interest). Even though IAS 28.10 requires an investment recognised under
the equity method to be measured at cost, IAS 28.26 states that many of the procedures that
are appropriate for the application of the equity method are similar to the consolidation
procedures described in IFRS 10. Furthermore, the concepts underlying the procedures used in
accounting for the acquisition of a subsidiary are also adopted in accounting for the acquisition
of an investment in an associate or a joint venture.
It is therefore our view as lecturers that the same principles prescribed in IFRS 3 that are
applicable to a step acquisition of a subsidiary are also applicable to a step acquisition of an
associate or joint venture. The existing shareholding will therefore be measured at fair value at
the date that significant influence or joint control is obtained, and the resulting gain or loss will
be recognised in profit or loss or other comprehensive income as appropriate. If in prior reporting
periods the purchaser recognised changes in the value of its equity interest (not yet an
investment in associate or joint venture) in other comprehensive income, the amount that was
recognised in other comprehensive income shall be recognised on the same basis as would be
required if the purchaser had disposed directly of the previously held equity interest.

(b) The investor’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate / joint
venture, from the date on which the investee becomes an associate / joint venture, is included
in the current period’s profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the investor’s financial
statements as share of profit of associate / joint venture and share of other comprehensive
income of associate / joint venture.
(c) During the period in which the investment is not yet an associate (thus no significant influence),
it is carried at fair value in terms of IFRS 9 in the separate financial statements of the investor.
Whilst the investment is not an associate / joint venture, the measurement at fair value in the
separate financial statements corresponds with the measurement at fair value in the group
financial statements (if applicable). As soon as significant influence / joint control is acquired and
the investment becomes an associate / joint venture, the investment will be carried at cost in the
group financial statements. This is consistent with the manner in which subsidiaries are
consolidated (IAS 28.26).
COMMENT
It is important to note that when an entity only has an interest in an associate or joint
venture, GROUP financial statements are prepared. A consolidation can only be
performed if an entity has an interest in a subsidiary.
The journal entries required to account for the investment in associate / joint venture in
the group financial statements are referred to as pro forma journal entries.

value of the retained interest plus consideration received less the carrying amount of the investment
at the date that the equity method is discontinued [IAS 28.22(b)].
The investor measures the remaining investment in terms of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, at either

The intragroup transaction that took place regarding the landscaping design services

associate is calculated. The transaction is not eliminated as the separate line items of
the associate are not reflected in the equity accounted financial statements. This
represents an intragroup transaction, but not an intragroup profit, of which the latter must
be eliminated according to IAS 28.28. The intragroup transaction still constitutes a
related party transaction which must be disclosed in the separate and group financial
statements in terms of IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures.

In this question, the investor loses significant influence and the associate becomes an
IFRS 9 investment. Equity accounting procedures are thus only applied up to the date
of loss of significant influence. After the disposal date, the investment is measured at fair
value in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. The parent will first revalue the
investment to fair value in its separate accounting records on the date of disposal after
derecognising the carrying amount and then again at year end.

OBJECTIVES/OUTCOMES
• Related party
• Related party transaction
• Key management personnel
• Close member of the family of a person
• Control, joint control and significant influence
• Compensation
• Government
• Government-related entity
• Investment entity

EXAMPLE
The following example illustrates the method required to identify related parties.
• Mr Booysen holds 5% of the issued ordinary shares and voting rights of A Ltd. His 16-year-old
son holds 30% of the voting rights in A Ltd which he inherited from his grandfather.
• The majority of A Ltd’s issued ordinary shares and voting rights are held by the South African
Government. A Ltd is the sole provider of specialist advice concerning the development of roads
to the Tshwane City Council.
Mr Booysen’s son is a related party of A Ltd, as he has more than 20% interest, which is presumed to
be significant influence (IAS 24.9(a)(ii)).
Mr Booysen is a related party of A Ltd, as he is a close member of his son’s family, and his son has
significant influence (IAS 24.9(a)(ii)).
The South African Government is a related party of A Ltd, as A Ltd is controlled by the government.
This relates to the definition of a government-related entity (IAS 24.9).
B Ltd is not a related party of A Ltd, as a single supplier with whom the reporting entity has conducted
transactions of a material extent, merely because of their economic dependence, is excluded from the
definition (IAS 24.11(d)).

COMMENT
In accordance IAS 28.28 gains and losses resulting from ‘upstream’ and ‘downstream’
transactions between an entity and its associate are recognised in the entity’s financial
statements only to the extent of unrelated investors’ interests in the associate or joint
venture. When the bad debt is therefore recognised, we recognise the loss only to the
extent of the unrelated investor’s share.

QUESTION 1 40 marks
Aronkel Ltd (Aronkel) is a nursery located in Gauteng which is listed on the Johannesburg Stock
Exchange. Aronkel invested in two companies namely Rose Ltd (Rose) and Violet Ltd (Violet).
1. Investment in Rose
In order to expand their wide selection of plants, Aronkel acquired 25 000 ordinary shares in
Rose for a cash consideration of R200 000. The purchase agreement for the 25 000 ordinary
shares in Rose was signed on 1 March 20.15. From that date, Aronkel exercised significant
influence over the financial and operating policy decisions of Rose.
As Rose had a steady growth profile for the past five years and their forward profit projection
looked exceptionally good, Aronkel decided to increase their holding in Rose.
On 1 August 20.17, the acquisition of a further 40% interest in Rose was approved by a majority
vote. On 31 August 20.17, Aronkel purchased an additional 40% interest in Rose for a cash
amount of R570 000, inclusive of legal fees amounting to R20 000. From that date, Aronkel had
control over Rose as per the definition of control in accordance with IFRS 10
Consolidated Financial Statements.
All the assets and liabilities of Rose were deemed to be fairly valued on 31 August 20.17, except
for land that was undervalued by R128 866.
The fair value of Rose’s shares amounted to the following on the various dates:
28/2/20.17 31/8/20.17
R R
2. Investment in Violet
The demand for garden décor grew exponentially in recent years. It made strategic sense for
Aronkel to enter this unique market and expand their footprint in the décor and flora environment.
On 1 November 20.13, Aronkel acquired a 60% interest in Violet for a cash consideration of
R470 000. From that date, Aronkel had control over Violet as per the definition of control in
accordance with IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements.
MJM
64 FAC4864/104
NFA4864/104
ZFA4864/104
All the assets and liabilities of Violet were deemed to be fairly valued and no additional assets,
liabilities or contingent liabilities were identified on the acquisition date.
On 1 November 20.17, Violet had a rights issue of one share for every four shares held at R3,00
per share. Of the rights issued, 20 000 were taken up by Aronkel. Aronkel sold the remainder of
its rights to the non-controlling shareholders for R2 per right. Aronkel still had control, as per the
definition of control in accordance with IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, over Violet
after the rights issue.

• Aronkel elected to transfer any cumulative gains or losses within equity in terms of
IFRS 9.B5.7.1.

EXAM TECHNIQUE
Ensure that you understand the concept and application of deferred tax. There are
instances where students incorrectly calculate deferred tax on all profits, retained
earning-movements and even dividends. Deferred tax is even calculated on the share
of profit of associate, which demonstrates a lack of understanding of deferred tax as well
as the fact the profit is already after tax.
Read the required carefully and only provide the journals for the entity specified.
Valuable time is wasted if the journals for Violet are also provided.
Intragroup transactions can be a source of easy marks. In this question, the gross profit
percentage for the unrealised profit in opening inventories of Aronkel is calculated as
33.33% (and not 33%/133%).
The basis of the consolidation is the adding of 100% of the trial balance of the subsidiary
to 100% of the trial balance of the parent on a line-by-line basis. It is therefore incorrect
to include only 65% of the subsidiary to share capital, retained earnings, etc.

Lex Ltd (Lex) is a wholesaler of tobacco products in South Africa. Lex was founded in 19.80 and has
since become the largest wholesaler of tobacco products in Southern Africa. The company has several
investments in other companies.
After a strategic meeting held in March 20.15, the directors of Lex made a decision to expand their
business further by investing in manufacturers of smokeless tobacco. On 1 July 20.15 Lex purchased
a 55% interest in Chewy, a manufacturer of chewing tobacco, snuff and snus (moist powder tobacco)
for a cash consideration of R860 000. Lex obtained control over Chewy as per IFRS 10 Consolidated
Financial Statements from 1 July 20.15. The assets and liabilities of Chewy were considered to be
fairly valued at that date and no additional assets, liabilities or contingent liabilities were identified.
The fair value of the non-controlling interests was R684 000 on 1 July 20.15.
Due to current legislation around tobacco products in general, the board of directors of Lex decided to
sell their controlling shareholding in Chewy and to explore other options. On 1 October 20.18, Lex sold
35 000 shares in Chewy at R30 per share (this is also the fair value per share). Lex exercised
significant influence over the financial and operating policy decisions of Chewy from 1 October 20.18.
The following balances were presented in the statement of changes in equity of Chewy on the
respective dates:
The management of Lex decided to expand their footprint in the electronic cigarette market.
On 1 March 20.17, Lex bought a 20% IFRS 9 investment in Vap, a manufacturer of electronic
cigarettes, for a cash consideration of R350 000.
On 1 August 20.18, Lex increased their shareholding in Vap by purchasing an additional 40% interest
in ordinary shares at market value. From that date, Lex obtained control over Vap as per the definition
of control in accordance with IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements.

exception of land. Land with a carrying value of R400 000 on 1 August 20.18, had a fair value of
R550 000 on the same date. Land is classified as property, plant and equipment. Vap did not
remeasure the land in its separate financial statements. This land was sold on 31 January 20.19 for a
cash consideration of R610 000, which equalled the fair value at that date.
The fair value of Vap’s shares amounted to the following on the various dates:

QUESTION 4 40 marks
You are a third-year trainee accountant at ABC Auditors. You are currently busy with the year end
audit of Fortnight Ltd (Fortnight).
Fortnight is a computer game developer and retailer based in South Africa and listed on the
Johannesburg Stock Exchange. The company has several investments in other companies and all
companies in the group have a 31 March year end.
The following trial balance extracts, for the year ended 31 March 20.20, were provided to you by the
Fortnight group accountant, Mr S Trooper:
Omega Ltd
Fortnight acquired 40% of the issued share capital of Omega Ltd (Omega) on 1 January 20.15 for a
cash amount of R350 000. Fortnight exercised significant influence over the financial and operating
policy decisions of Omega from that date. On 1 January 20.15 Omega’s equity consisted of share
capital and retained earnings amounting to R600 000 and R200 000 respectively. All the assets and
liabilities of Omega were regarded to be fairly valued on 1 January 20.15.
On 30 September 20.19, Fortnight disposed of a 35% interest in Omega for R460 000. The remaining
5% interest had a fair value of R63 250 on 30 September 20.19 and R70 000 on 31 March 20.20.
Fortnight classified the remaining investment as a financial asset at fair value through other
comprehensive income.
Raven Ltd
Fortnight acquired 70 000 ordinary shares in Raven Ltd (Raven) on 1 July 20.11 for a cash amount of
R100 000. From that date Fortnight had control over Raven as per the definition of control in terms of
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. On 1 July 20.11 Raven’s equity consisted of share capital
and retained earnings amounting to R100 000 and R20 000 respectively.
All the assets and liabilities of Raven were regarded to be fairly valued on 1 July 20.11. No additional
assets, liabilities or contingent liabilities were identified by Fortnight on the date of the acquisition.

On 1 July 20.11 the fair value of the non-controlling interests was R45 000.
From the date of acquisition, Fortnight purchased computer games from Raven at a mark-up of 20%
on cost. You can assume that inventory on hand at month end are sold in the following month.
Sales from Raven to Fortnight for the financial year 50 000 - 47 500
Inventory on hand at Fortnight 18 500 21 000 14 250
On 1 December 20.19 Fortnight acquired an additional 10 000 ordinary shares in Raven from the non-
controlling interests. The purchase was settled by cash of R110 000 as well as the transfer of office
equipment with a fair value of R30 000 and a carrying value of R10 000 to the non-controlling interests.
Peely Ltd
Fortnight acquired a 60% controlling interest in Peely Ltd (Peely) for a cash amount of R225 000 on
1 April 20.19.
All assets and liabilities of Peely were regarded to be fairly valued on 1 April 20.19, except for land
which was undervalued by R75 000. No additional assets, liabilities or contingent liabilities were
identified by Fortnight on the date of acquisition.
On 31 March 20.20 Fortnight disposed of a 45% controlling interest in Peely for R245 000, resulting
in a remaining 15% interest. Fortnight classified the remaining investment as a financial asset at fair
value through other comprehensive income.
The fair value of Peely’s share price was as follows on the different dates:
31 March 1 April
20.20 20.19

FROM: CTA Student
SUBJECT: How the additional share purchase in Raven Ltd should be accounted for in the
consolidated financial statements of the Fortnight Ltd Group
Dear Mr Trooper
Kindly see my proposed accounting treatment for the additional shares purchased below.
Kind regards,
CTA Student
Fortnight Ltd acquired an additional 10 000 shares in Raven Ltd during the current financial
year. Fortnight Ltd already had control over Raven Ltd, in accordance with IFRS 10, before
this transaction. Therefore, this share purchase qualifies as a transaction with owners in
their capacity as owners. (1)
Non-controlling interests (NCI) decreased from 30% to 20% as a result of the additional
shares purchased by Fortnight Ltd (30 000/100 000 and 20 000/100 000). (1)
Adjustment to NCI (266 244 – 177 496) or (266 244 x 10/30) 88 748 (1)
Note 1:
The intragroup unrealised profit of 20.19 does not need to be considered as the
elimination of the 20.19 unrealised profit would have realised in August 20.19 and therefore
would have been reversed in the current year’s profit, before the transaction to acquire
additional shares. (1)
Note 2:
Unrealised profit on sale of inventory [(21 000 x 20/120) - (3 500 x 28%)] (1)
Secondly, the fair value of the consideration should be determined. The fair value of the
cash consideration is R110 000 and the fair value of the office equipment is R30 000.
Resulting in a total consideration of R140 000. (1)
MJM
87 FAC4864/104
NFA4864/104
ZFA4864/104
The difference between the consideration of R140 000 and the adjustment to NCI of
R88 748 amounts to R51 252. This amount should be recognised in equity. (1)
The newly created reserve is commonly referred to as the “change in ownership reserve”.
However, any name can be given as the name is not prescribed by the International
Financial Reporting Standards. (1)

QUESTION 5 40 marks
Bojanala Marketing Ltd (BM Ltd) is a JSE listed company specialising in marketing and advertising.
They provide a wide range of marketing services to help businesses grow by expanding brand
awareness, increasing online presence and improving customer experience. BM Ltd has a 31 March
year end.
The current challenges that faced the world due to COVID-19 pandemic has forced the company to
undergo some restructuring in terms of their service offerings. This included selling some of their
investments as well as a number of acquisitions due to increased demand from clients for solid digital
marketing and advertising campaigns.
On 1 February 20.16, BM Ltd acquired a 15% interest in Agile Digital Ltd (Agile Ltd) for a cash
consideration of R950 000. BM Ltd did not exercise joint control or significant influence over the
financial and operating policy decisions of Agile Ltd at that date.
• At acquisition Agile Ltd had a trademark that was formally registered and relates to an internally
generated brand that was developed by Agile Ltd over the past few years. The fair value of the
trademark on 1 October 20.20 is R400 000. The trademark has an indefinite useful life.
• Agile Ltd has an internally generated client list which consists of the clients to which they provide
advertising and social media management services. This client list is contingent on a privacy
agreement and cannot be sold. The client list has a fair value of R350 000 on 1 October 20.20.
• Agile Ltd had a fall out with one of their clients due to an advertisement that was televised
nationwide which received a lot of backlash due to the public finding it offensive. A contingent
liability arose on 30 June 20.19 amounting to R250 000 due to losses in revenue that the said
client claimed to have lost. Should the claim be successful, any amount paid by Agile Ltd will not
be deductible for tax purposes. Agile Ltd’s legal advisors concluded that Agile Ltd has a present
obligation, however it is probable that Agile Ltd will not be found liable and therefore the
likelihood of a successful claim is remote. The fair value of the claim was reliably estimated at
R225 500 on 1 October 20.20 and on 31 March 20.21.
The fair value of the 15% investment in Agile Ltd, amounted to R1 416 750 on 1 October 20.20.
The share capital retained earnings and mark-to-market reserve of Agile Ltd amounted to R1 000 000
(100 000 shares), R5 550 000 and R650 000 respectively on 1 April 20.20. Agile Ltd had a profit after
tax and other comprehensive income relating to the mark-to-market reserve of R2 750 000 and
R250 000 respectively for the year ended 31 March 20.21.

On 1 July 20.18, BM Ltd acquired 70% of the shares in Ads for Mags Ltd (AFM Ltd), a company
specialising in print media, for a cash consideration equal to the fair value of the shares on that date.
From that date BM Ltd exercised control over AFM Ltd as per the definition of control in terms of
IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements. The equity of AFM Ltd on that date consisted of ordinary
share capital amounting to R1 550 000 (50 000 shares), retained earnings of R2 250 000 and a mark-
to-market reserve of R925 000. The assets and liabilities of AFM Ltd were considered to be fairly
valued on 1 July 20.18 and no additional assets, liabilities or contingent assets and liabilities were
identified at that date. AFM Ltd’s shares were trading in the market at R100 per share on 1 July 20.18.
Due to the pandemic, print media was adversely affected, as most businesses opted for digital and
online advertising campaigns as opposed to printed flyers and pamphlets. The Chief Executive Officer
(CEO), Ms Robben, and the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Mr Kosmin, were both of the opinion that
the investment was no longer viable given the current market demand. They were able to convince
the rest of the board members of BM Ltd that selling the investment was the best way forward for the
business. On 31 March 20.21, BM Ltd disposed of 45% of its shares in AFM Ltd for a cash
consideration of R2 105 000. From this date, BM Ltd exercised significant influence over the financial
and operating policy decisions of AFM Ltd. The equity of AFM Ltd at the date of disposal was as
follows:
R
Dr/(Cr)
The share price of AFM Ltd on 31 March 20.20 and 31 March 20.21 were trading at R98,00 and R94,50
respectively.
Mr Khadim, who is a member of the board of directors of BM Ltd was not necessarily in agreement
with the decision to sell and made it clear that he will personally invest in AFM Ltd. Mrs Khadim, wife
to Mr Khadim therefore bought a significant number of shares in AFM Ltd as per Mr Khadim’s request.
This acquisition gave her significant influence over AFM Ltd.
Mr Khadim mentioned to Mrs Khadim that he did not envision that the buying of shares in AFM Ltd by
Mrs Khadim would cause any issues as the CFO’s daughter, Miss Kosmin, exercised significant
influence over Agile Ltd, and therefore does not foresee any objection to the transaction. Mrs Khadim
is an active investor and currently has a controlling interest in Weather Ltd. Furthermore, Miss Kosmin
is a controlling shareholder of Legacy Ltd.
