A: FINANCING CAPITAL PROJECTS
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 company is listed Dilution of ownership on issue of new 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.

exchange).
Exit route for existing shareholders. Increased media interest.

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.
B: FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS
Chapter 4
IFRS 15 REVENUE
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
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-ended 31 December 20X5.
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 5
IFRS 16 LEASES
1. Lessor accounting
1.1. Classification of the lease

Leases
Finance Operating
Finance lease if risks and rewards of ownership transferred to lessee.

๏ Ownership passes at end of the lease term
๏ Option to purchase asset at below fair value at end of lease and reasonably certain option will
be exercised
๏ Lease term represents the major part of assets economic life
๏ PV of minimum lease payments represents substantially all of the asset’s fair value
๏ Leased asset is specialised in nature
1.2. Operating lease accounting

Operating lease income receipts are recognised as income through profit or loss on a straight line
basis.
Depreciation on the asset continues over its useful life.
Example 1 – Operating leases

Banana leases out a machine to Mango under a four year operating lease. 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 both Banana would account for the lease in the financial statements.
1.3. Finance lease accounting
1. Derecognise asset and record a receivable (@ net investment in the lease”)

2. Record finance lease receipts as a reduction in the receivable
3. Record interest income on the receivable
Net investment in the lease = Gross investment in the lease discounted at the implicit rate of
interest
Gross investment in the lease = Minimum lease payments receivable plus any unguaranteed
residual value
Example 2 – Finance lease

Cherry leases out an item of property, plant and equipment under a 5 year finance lease. The lease
commenced on 1 January 2015 and the rate implicit in the lease is 4%. The annual lease rentals of
$5,000 are paid at the start of the lease period.
Cherry estimates that the estimated residual value of the item of property, plant and equipment is
$2,000 and the guaranteed residual value is $1,600.
Calculate Cherry’s net investment in the lease, showing the guaranteed and the
unguaranteed amounts.
Chapter 6
IAS 37 PROVISIONS, CONTINGENT
ASSETS AND LIABILITIES
Provision
Present obligation as a Probable transfer/outflow Measure the outcome

result of a past event of economic benefit reliably
1. Measurement
๏ Best estimate of expenditure
๏ Expected values (various different outcomes)
๏ Discount to present value if materially different
Illustration – Best estimate (single obligation)

Following the explosion of an oil rig in the North Sea that resulted in large amounts of
environmental damage the company was taken to court by the local authority who were looking to
recover the costs of the clean-up operation. The company has been informed by their lawyers that
it was probable that they would be liable for the costs of the clean-up operation. The lawyers
estimated that following financial settlements and their likelihood:
Settlement amount ($m) Likelihood of settlement
25 20%
40 45%
65 35%
For a single obligation that is being measured, i.e. the payment to clean-up the environmental
damage, the best estimate of the liability is the individual most likely outcome.
The most likely outcome is the settlement for $40 million and so this is the amount that would be
provided for within the financial statements.
Illustration – Best estimate (large population)

A company sells second hand cars with a six-month warranty that promises to repair the cars if any
faults occur following the sale. The company has estimated that 80% of the cars sold in the last six-
months will require no repairs, however 15% will require minor repairs and the remaining 5% will
require major repairs.
The company has estimated that if all the cars were to have minor repairs then this would cost
$100,000 and if all the cars were to have major repairs then this would cost $500,000.
For a large population of items, the best estimate of the provision is based on an expected value of
the possible outcomes. The expected value of the repair costs is $40,000 [(80% x $nil) + (15% x
$100,000) + (5% x $500,000)] and so this is the amount that would be provided for within the
financial statements.
Example 1 – Discounting and provisions

HR Co has a year end of 31 December 2018, and it was notified that on the 1 July 2018 a former
employee brought about a legal claim for unfair dismissal. HR Co’s legal team have said that it is
probable that that HR Co would lose the case, resulting in a payment of $495,000 on 30 June 2019.
HR Co has a cost of capital of 10% per annum. A one year discount factor at 10% is 0.9091.
Calculate the amounts to be recognised in the financial statements of HR Co for the year
ended 31 December 2018

Example 2 – Provisions and contingencies (1)

The following items have to be considered when finalising the financial statements of G-Star Co, a
limited liability company:
The company gives warranties on its products. The company’s statistics show that about 5% of
sales give rise to a warranty claim.
The company has guaranteed the overdraft of another company. The likelihood of a liability arising
under the guarantee is assessed as possible.
What is the correct action to be taken in the financial statement for these items?

B Disclose by note only No action
C Create a provision Create a provision
D Disclose by note only Disclose by note only
Example 3 – Provisions and contingencies (2)

Justina supplies fish to a local restaurant. In August 2009 she supplied the restaurant with some
shell-fish, and now she has heard that some of the restaurant’s customers have suffered attacks of
food-poisoning. The restaurant has claimed that this is because of Justina’s shell-fish, and has
commenced a legal action against her.
Algirdas, a local solicitor who specialises in food-poisoning cases, has advised Justina that she has a
42% chance of losing the case, and that, if she does lose, she will probably have to pay $300,000 to
settle the liability.
What is the nature of Justina’s liability, if any, and how should it be treated in her financial
statements for the year ended 31 August, 2009?
3. Specifics
Future operating losses
No provision can be made for anticipated losses as there is no obligation.
Onerous contracts
An onerous contract is whereby the cost of fulfilling the contract exceed the benefits received from
the contract (e.g. non-cancellable operating lease).
A provision is recognised at the lower of:

๏ Present value of continuing under the contract, and
๏ Present value of exiting the contract
Example 4 – Onerous contract

Daiva has a contract to buy 900 metres of cloth each month for $7 per metre. From each 3 metres
of cloth she can make a dress which she can sell for $30. She also incurs labour costs of $4 per dress.
Alternatively she can sell the cloth immediately for $6.25 per metre.
If she decides to cancel the cloth purchase contract without notice she must pay a cancellation
penalty of $700, for each of the next two months.
In December 2009 the market price of dresses fell to $22.
She is considering ceasing production since she believes that the market will not improve.
There is 2 months notice stated in the contract in case of breach of a contract.
(a) Is there a present obligation?
(b) What will appear in respect of the contract in Daiva’s financial statements for the year
ending 31 December, 2009.
Restructuring
๏ Sale or closure of a line of business
๏ Ceasing activities in a geographical location
๏ Relocating activities
๏ Re-organisation (management or focus of operations)
A provision is recognised if there is a detailed formal plan and the plan has been announced.
The provision only includes costs which are necessarily to be incurred and not associated with
continuing activities.
Example 5 – Restructuring
On 18 August 2017 the directors of Paulius decided to close the Kaunas Factory.
(a) Assuming that no steps were taken to implement the decision and the decision was not
communicated to any of those affected by the Statement of Financial Position date of
31 August, 2017 what is the appropriate accounting treatment?
(b) What would be the appropriate accounting treatment for the closure if a detailed plan
had been agreed by the board on 26 August 2017, and letters sent to notify suppliers?
The workforce in Kaunas has been sent redundancy notices.
Contingent asset
Remote/Possible Probable Virtually certain
Ignore Disclose Recognise an asset
Illustration – Contingent asset

A business has a reporting date of 31 December and inventory worth $100,000 was stolen just prior
to the reporting date. The business has made a claim on its insurance and has heard from the
insurers who have said that it is probable that the full amount will be reimbursed, but no further
confirmation of when any payment will be made has been received.
The business will disclose a contingent asset within the notes to the accounts as it is probable that
the $100,000 will be received, however an asset cannot be recognised as it is not yet virtually
certain as the final confirmation has not been received of when the payment will be received.

๏ Initially recognise at fair value including transaction costs, unless classified as fair value
through profit or loss
1.2. Subsequent measurement

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

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.
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.
4. Financial liabilities
4.1. Initial measurement

๏ Initially recognise at fair value less transaction costs (‘net proceeds’)
Subsequent measurement
๏ Amortised cost
๏ Fair value though profit or loss
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.
5. 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.
6. Derivatives
A derivative financial instrument must have all three of the following characteristics:
1. Its value changes in response to the change in a specified interest or exchange rate, or in
response to the change in a price, rating, index or other variable;
2. It requires no initial net investment;
3. It is settled at a future date.
Derivative financial instruments should be recognised as either assets (favourable) or liabilities
(unfavourable). They should be measured at fair value both upon initial recognition and
subsequently, with any movement in the value of the derivative going through profit or loss.
Example 4 – Derivates
On 1 February 2019, the directors of Wayne decided to enter into a forward foreign exchange
contract to buy 12 million Dinar at a forward rate of $1 = 6 Dinar, on 31 May 2020. Wayne’s year end
is 31 March.
Relevant forward exchange rates were as follows:
1 February 2019 $1 = 6 Dinar
31 March 2019 $1 = 5⋅8 Dinar
31 March 2020 $1 = 5⋅6 Dinar
Prepare relevant extracts from Wayne’s statement of profit or loss and statement of financial
position to reflect the forward foreign exchange contract at 31 March 20X8, with
comparatives. (Note: ignore discounting when measuring the derivative).

IAS 38 INTANGIBLE ASSETS
An identifiable, non-monetary asset with no physical substance but has value to the business.
๏ patents
๏ brand names
๏ licences
3 factors to consider
Identifiability Control Recognition
i.e. can sell separately

Framework
IAS 38
Separate acquisition
Capitalise at cost (purchase price, import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes less any trade
discounts) plus any directly attributable costs (e.g. legal fees, testing costs). Amortisation is
charged over the useful life of the asset, starting when it is available for use.
Research
Research expenditure is charged immediately to profit or loss in the year in which it is incurred.
Development
Development expenditure must be capitalised when it meets all the criteria.
๏ Sell/use
๏ Commercially viable
๏ Technically feasible
๏ Resources to complete
๏ Measure cost reliably (expense)
๏ Probable future economic benefits (overall)
Internally generated
Internally generate brands, mastheads cannot be capitalised as their cost cannot be separated from
the overall cost of developing the business.
Revaluations
An intangible asset can only be revalued if there exists an active market.
An active market is one where the following conditions are all met:
๏ The items traded are homogenous
๏ Willing buyers and sellers can normally be found at any time
๏ Prices are available to the public
Amortisation
If an intangible has a finite life then it should be amortised over its useful economic life.
Residual value is normally assumed to be zero unless there is a commitment from a buyer or an
active market exists.
An intangible could be considered to have an indefinite useful life if there is no foreseeable limit to
the period over which the asset is expected to generate net cash flows for the entity. It will
therefore be subject to annual impairment reviews.
Example 1 – Intangibles
GKS is a large pharmaceutical business involved in the research and development of viable new
drugs. It commenced initial investigation into the viability of a new drug on 1 February 20X5 at a
cost of $40,000 per month. On 1 August 20X5 GSK were able to demonstrate the commercial
viability of the new drug and intend to sell it on the open market once fully complete.
Costs subsequent to 1 August 20X5 remained at $40,000 per month. At 31 December 20X5, GSK’s
reporting date, the drug was not yet complete but it is believed that by mid-20X6 the drug will be
available for sale.
The finance director is confident of the success of the drug’s sales that he wishes to revalue the
intangible at the reporting date, using a discounted future cash flow model to establish the fair
value.
Explain the treatment of the above costs in GSK’s financial statements for the year-ended 31
December 20X5.
Intangibles and business combinations

If an intangible asset is acquired in a business combination (i.e. acquisition of a subsidiary, that has
a previously unrecognised internally generated brand), the cost of that intangible asset is
recognised at fair value in the consolidated financial statements.
If a fair value cannot be established the intangible is not recognised separately and becomes part
of the overall goodwill established on acquisition of the subsidiary..
Chapter 9
IAS 12 INCOME TAXES
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.

IAS 21 EFFECT OF CHANGES IN FOREIGN
CURRENCY RATES
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.

๏ Ownership – Non-controlling interest
(NCI%)
A parent is an entity that has one or more subsidiaries.

A subsidiary is an entity which is controlled by another entity (known as the parent).
The key concept in determining whether or not an investment constitutes a subsidiary is that of
control.
Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain
benefit from its activities.
Control is usually achieved by the purchase of more than 50% of a company’s equity share capital.
2. Basic consolidation
2.1. Basic steps
100% P + 100% S assets and liabilities, ignoring the investments in subsidiary
100% P share capital and share premium only (reporting to parent’s shareholders)
Retained earnings (balancing figure)
Example 1 – Basic consolidation

Peter acquired 100% of the equity share capital of Steven on 31 December 20X4 for $1,000,000.
The financial statements of the two companies at that date were as follows:
Peter Steven
$000 $000
Investment in Steven Co 1,000 -

Liabilities 400 200
Total equity and liabilities 2,500 1,200
Prepare the consolidated statement of financial position for the Peter Group at 31 December
20X4.
Example 2 – Basic consolidation (continued)

Following Peter’s acquisition of the 100% of Steven’s equity share capital of Steven on 31
December 20X4, both companies continued to trade. The financial statements of the two
companies at the end of the following year 31 December 20X5 were as follows:
Peter Steven
$000 $000
Investment in Steven Co 1,000 -

2,400 1,150
Liabilities 500 300
Prepare the consolidated statement of financial position for the Peter Group at 31 December
20X5.
2.2. Non-controlling interest

Control is exerted through a shareholding of greater than 50%, so therefore it is not always
necessary to fully own a subsidiary.
Shareholdings of 75% will still give the parent the power to direct the activities of the subsidiary
and therefore it must prepare consolidated financial statements.
As the parent’s 75% holding still maintains control, the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary are
consolidated 100% on a line-by-line basis.
It is necessary to account for 25% ownership interest in the subsidiary which is referred to as the
non-controlling interest. It is shown in the equity section of the consolidated statement of financial
position.
The non-controlling interest is measured using either of the following methods:
๏ Proportionate share of net assets
๏ Fair value
Example 3 – Non-controlling interest

Pierre acquired 80% of Stefan’s equity share capital on 31 December 20X4 when Stefan’s retained
earnings were $750,000. The financial statements of the two companies at the end 31 December
20X5 were as follows:
Pierre Stefan
$000 $000
Investment in Stefan Co 800 -

2,200 1,150
Liabilities 500 300
Prepare the consolidated statement of financial position for the Pierre Group at 31 December
20X5 assuming the non-controlling interest is measured using the proportionate share of net
assets method
2.3. Goodwill
On acquisition of a subsidiary, the parent will usually pay more for the subsidiary than the value of
the net assets (assets less liabilities). Why?
๏ Customer loyalty
๏ Good reputation
The difference between what the parent pays and what the net assets are truly worth is referred to
as goodwill.
Example 4 - Goodwill
A parent company buys 75% of the equity shares in a subsidiary company for $156,000.
The remaining shares were valued at $56,000 and the net assets at acquisition were $170,000.
Calculate the goodwill arising on acquisition assuming that:
1) Non-controlling interest is measured using the proportionate share of net assets method
2) Non-controlling interest is measured using the fair value method.
2.4. Other reserves (e.g. revaluation reserve)

group retained earnings

The fair value of Jones’s equity shares was $200,000 at acquisition
Prepare the consolidated statement of financial position for the Matthews group for the
year-ended 31 December 20X5.
2.5. Mid-year acquisition

If a subsidiary is acquired mid-year the issue revolves around calculating the retained earnings at
the acquisition date. To calculate the retained earnings figure at the acquisition date we assume,
unless told otherwise, that the profits for the year made by the subsidiary have accrued evenly and
adjust either the opening or closing retained earnings figure.
Illustration – Mid-year acquisition

Richard acquired 80% of Andy’s equity share capital on 1 August 20X5. Both have a year end of 31
December 20X5.
Andy’s retained earnings at the end of the year were $600,000 and its profit for the year was
$120,000.
Assuming the profit accrued evenly during the year then the Andy’s retained earnings figure at 1
August 20X5 is calculated as follows:
$600,000 − (5/12 x $120,000) = $540,000
3. Adjustments – Group
3.1. Intra-company balances
The intragroup receivable balance and intragroup payable balance should not be shown in the
consolidated accounts as we treat the group as a single entity.
๏ Remove the payable
๏ Remove the receivable
3.2. Cash in transit

The intragroup receivable and intragroup payable balance should be equal. If they are not then it
will be due to cash in transit.
Illustration – Cash in transit

P has an intra-company trade receivable of $1,500 at the year-end due form S. This does not agree
with the corresponding $1,000 trade payable in S due to a cheque of $500 sent by S immediately
prior to the year-end, which P did not receive until after the start of the new accounting year.
To account for the cash in transit and intra-company balances we need to:
1. Record the cash in transit in the group accounts
DR Bank $500
CR Receivables $500
2. Eliminate the equal intra-company balances
DR Payables $1,000
CR Receivables $1,000
3.3. Unrealised profits

goods remain in inventory at the year-end.
Prepare the James Group consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December
20X5.
3.4. Consideration
A parent may acquire a controlling interest in a subsidiary in other fashions as opposed to just a
cash payment.
Other considerations are as follows:
๏ Share for share exchange
๏ Deferred cash consideration
๏ Contingent consideration
Share for share exchange
1. Calculate the number of subsidiary shares acquired
2. Calculate the number of P shares issued
3. Value the P shares issued
4. Record the journal entry
Example 7 – Share exchange

Harry acquired 80% of the 10 million ordinary $1 shares of Sally by offering a share exchange of one
for every four shares acquired. The fair value of Harry’s shares is $3 per share.
Calculate the cost of investment for the acquisition and prepare the journal entry to record
the share issue.
3.5. Deferred consideration

A parent may agree to pay cash in the future following the acquisition of the subsidiary. This
deferred consideration is recorded on acquisition at present value.
Example 8 – Deferred consideration

Pony acquired 80% of the 30 million $1 equity shares of Star on 1 January 20X5. The consideration
was through the offer of a share exchange of two shares issued for every three shares acquired and

At the date of acquisition, XY’s property, plant and equipment had a carrying value of $1,500 and a
fair value of $3,500 and a remaining life of four years.
The group policy is to measure non-controlling interest at fair value at the acquisition date. The fair
value of non-controlling interest in XY at acquisition was $2,600.
An impairment review performed on the 31 December 20X5 indicated that goodwill on the

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.
Dr Revenue (CSPL) X
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)

IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements defines control and tells us how to consolidate.
A parent/subsidiary relationship can exist even where the parent owns less than 50% of the voting
power of the subsidiary since the key to the relationship is control and the power to direct the
activities.
The following instances are where control is exerted:
๏ power over more than half of the voting rights by virtue of an agreement with other
investors;
๏ power to govern the financial and operating policies of the entity under a statute or
agreement;
๏ power to appoint or remove the majority of the members of the board of directors or
equivalent governing body and control of the entity is by that board or body; or
๏ power to cast the majority of votes at meetings of the board of directors or equivalent
governing body and control of the entity is by that board or body.

Chapter 14
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
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
D Dr Investment in associate $25,000 Cr Cost of sales $25,000
3. 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
4. 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)

$1,340 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.

FOREIGN SUBSIDIARIES
1. 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.

IAS 24 RELATED PARTIES
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
3. Disclosures
Relationships between parents and subsidiaries shall be disclosed irrespective of whether there
have been transactions between those related parties.
๏ Name of entity’s parent and;
๏ If different the ultimate controlling party
Disclosure of key management personnel compensation
Key management personnel compensation in total and for each of the following;
๏ Short-term employee benefits
๏ Post-employment benefits
๏ Other long term benefits
๏ Share based payments
Disclosure of transactions and balances generally

If there have been transactions between related parties, an entity should disclose the nature of the
related party relationships as well as information about the types of transactions and the
outstanding balances necessary for an understanding of the financial statements
Disclosure should be made irrespective of whether a price is charged.
At a minimum the disclosure should include:
๏ The amount of the transactions
๏ The amount of outstanding balances, including terms and conditions, whether they are
secured and the nature of the consideration to be provided
๏ Provisions for doubtful debts based on the amount outstanding
๏ The expense recognised during the period in relation to bad and doubtful debts
The above should be made separately for each of the following
๏ The parent
๏ Entities with joint control or significant influence over the entity
๏ Subsidiaries
๏ Associates
๏ Joint ventures in which the entity is a venture
๏ Key management personnel
๏ Other related parties
Chapter 18
IAS 33 EARNINGS PER SHARE
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.
D: INTEGRATED REPORTING
Chapter 19
INTEGRATED REPORTING <IR>
The International Integrated Reporting Council has issued a Framework that gives the principles
and concepts that govern the content of an integrated report. It aims to communicate how an
entity will create value over time and identify the key drivers of its value. To do this requires
relevant financial and non-financial information.
1. Limitations of financial statements

Financial statements focus on the past financial performance of an entity and have not focused on
non-financial objectives. It has become more important in the modern financial world to evaluate
not just financial objectives but also the non-financial objectives within an entity.
๏ Human – Entity work force and retention of key staff, leads to better financial performance
and there is less disruption in the workforce and a high degree of trust is built up between
employees.
๏ Intellectual – Technology businesses generate ideas that are the intellectual property of that
entity and therefore add value to the business. Although they may meet the generic
definition of an intangible asset they cannot be recognised in the financial statements
๏ Natural – Businesses need to be more environmentally aware of the impact of their business
practices on the environment. Financial statements have not shown this impact and need to
evolve to ensure coverage is given to key environmental issues.
๏ Social and relationship – Better relationships between business and society can promote a
better financial performance.
Example 1 – Non-financial objectives

Which of the following are examples of non-financial objectives?
Select ALL that apply.
(a) A reduction in staff turnover of 10%

(b) A growth in earnings per share of 4%
(c) A reduction in the company’s carbon footprint by 25% over the next 5 years
(d) An increase in share price of 5%
(e) An increase in company charitable donations of 10%
(f) A reduction in the number of staff sick days to below national average
2. Fundamental Concepts
‘An integrated report aims to provide insight about the resources and relationships used and
affected by an organisation – these are collectively referred to as “the capitals”
The capitals are stocks of value that are increased, decreased or transformed through the activities
and outputs of the organisation. They are categorised in this Framework as:
๏ Financial
๏ Manufactured
๏ Intellectual
๏ Human
๏ Natural
๏ Social and relationship
3. Guiding Principles
A key factor in the development of the framework is that previous attempts to highlight non-
financial factors, notably the management commentary and the Operating and Financial Review
(OFR), became too cluttered and focussed on the positives and not the negatives. The <IR>
framework has therefore recommended Guiding Principles to aid the content of the report and
how it is presented.
The Guiding Principles that underpin the preparation and presentation of an integrated report are:
๏ Strategic focus and orientation
๏ Connectivity and information
๏ Stakeholder relationships
๏ Materiality
๏ Conciseness
๏ Reliability and completeness
๏ Consistency and comparability
4. Content Elements
The key components of an integrated report are as follows:
๏ Organisational overview and the external environment under which it operates.
๏ Governance structure and how this supports its ability to create value.
๏ Business model.
๏ Risks and opportunities and how they are dealing with them and how they affect the
company's ability to create value.
๏ Strategy and resource allocation.
๏ Performance and achievement of strategic objectives for the period and outcomes.
๏ Outlook and challenges facing the company and their implications.
๏ Basis of preparation and presentation
5. International Integrated Reporting Council

Until recently companies were free to report these objectives how they wished and there was
limited guidance available to help them do so.
Given the importance of these non-financial objectives, particularly the social and environmental
issues, guidance has now been developed via the two following frameworks:
via the Integrated Reporting <IR> Framework, developed by the International Integrated Reporting
Council
6. International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC)

The International Integrated Reporting Council’s Framework outlines the principles and concepts
that govern the content of an Integrated Report <IR>. It aims to communicate how an entity will
create value over time and identify the key drivers of its value and its primary objective is:
‘To provide insight about the resources and relationships used and affected by an organization –
these are collectively referred to as “the capitals”
The capitals are stocks of value that are increased, decreased or transformed through the activities
and outputs of the organization. They are categorised by the Framework as:
๏ Financial
๏ Manufactured
๏ Intellectual
๏ Human
๏ Natural
6.1. The Framework

The purpose of this Framework is to establish Guiding Principles and Content Elements that govern
the overall content of an integrated report, and to explain the fundamental concepts that underpin
them.

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.

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

5. 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)

REVENUE (IFRS 15)
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)

Identify the contract
๏ Signed agreement
Identify the separate performance obligations
๏ Sale of handset
๏ Provision of calls and data service
Determine the transaction price
๏ $540 = $45 x 12 months
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
Recognise revenue as each performance obligation is satisfied
๏ Handset (goods) = at
๏ Calls and data (services) = over 12 months
Answer 4 – IFRS 15 (2)

Identify the contract
๏ Signed agreement
Identify the separate performance obligations
๏ Supply and installation service
๏ Technical support
Determine the transaction price
๏ Combined contract price = $1,600
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
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)

LEASES (IFRS 16)
Answer 1 - Lessor accounting

Income of $1,500 would be recognised through profit or loss for each of the four year lease. At the
end of year one, accrued income 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.
Answer 2 – Lessor accounting

Unguaranteed residual value = $2,000 - $1,600 = $400
Gross investment in the lease = ($5,000 x 5 years) + $400 = $25,400

The provision is initially recognised at its present value on 1 July 2018 of $450,000 (= $495,000 x
0.9091 (rounded to nearest $000)).
The provision is then unwound at 10% for six months to calculate the finance cost of $22,500
($450,000 x 10% x 6/12)

Answer to example 2 – Provisions and contingencies (1)

Answer A
Answer to example 3 – Provisions and contingencies (2)

If she has a 42% chance of losing, then she must have a 58% chance of winning. It is, therefore, not
probable that she has an obligation. No provision would be appropriate.
However, there is a possible obligation, arising from some past event, which may involve the
outflow of economic resource.
The appropriate treatment in Justina’s financial statements for the year ended 31 August, 2009
would therefore seem to be to treat the matter as a contingent liability.
This involves:
๏ a disclosure note of the past event,
๏ the legal action outstanding,
๏ an explanation of the uncertainties upon which the outcome depends, and
๏ an estimate of the costs, were she to lose the case
Answer to example 4 – Onerous contract

(a) Yes, a legal obligation under the purchase contract
(b) Give notice, and buy the Give notice, buy the Cancel the
cloth for 2 more months cloth, and sell contract
and produce immediately without notice
Cost 2 × 900 × $7 12,600 2 × 900 × $7 12,600 2 × $700 1,400

Loss (1,800 Loss (1,350 Loss (1,400
) ) )
There is therefore an unavoidable loss of $1,350. This should be provided for in the Statement of
Financial Position and expensed through the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive
Income. In the Notes to the Financial Statements, there should be an explanation of the
circumstances and the uncertainties concerning timings, amounts and assumptions
Answer to example 5 – Restructuring

(a) There is neither a legal nor constructive obligation, because no obligating event has yet
occurred. The directors could change their minds, and decide to keep the Kaunas factory open.
Therefore, no provision is appropriate.
(b) There is a detailed plan, the impact of which has been communicated to suppliers and the
workforce. Paulius has therefore raised the valid expectation in the minds of those affected.
Although not a legal obligation, there is a constructive obligation arising from some past event,
involving the probable outflow of economic resource. A provision is therefore appropriate in the
amount which represents the best estimate of the costs of closing the Kaunas factory.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS (IAS 32 AND IFRS 9)
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.

Answer 4 – Derivates
The forward contract is a derivative because:
1. Its value changs as the exchange rates change
2. It has no initial cost
3. It is setteld on 31 May 2020 (future date)
The forward contract is initially measured at its fair value of nil on 1 February 2019, but it has a nil
value as a contract for this amount can only be entered into at the $1 = 6 Dinar forward exchenge
rate.
At the reporting date, 31 March 2019, it is remeasured to its fair value with gains/losses through
profit or loss:

IAS 38 Intangible Assets
Answer 1 – Intangibles
The purchase of the patent should be capitalised at $15 million and amortised over its useful life.
The $6 million spent on the investigative phase is essentially research and should be expensed
through profit or loss as incurred.
The $8 million subsequently spent after completion of the research phase is development
expenditure and is capitalised as an intangible non-current asset on the statement of financial
position.
It is not yet amortised as the project is not yet complete but an impairment review should be
carried out to see if the asset has lost value.
The $1.5 million spent on marketing and training should both be expensed through profit or loss
immediately.

Chapter 20
ANALYSIS OF RATIOS
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.
Appendix

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 to example 2 – Investor ratios

= Earnings/No. shares in issue =
EPS 56.7c
22,680/40,000
Dividend cover 5.4 times = EPS/DPS = 56.6c/10.5c
Dividend yield 8.75% = DPS/Price per share = 10.5c/$1.20 x 100%
P/E ratio 2.12 = Share price/EPS = $1.20/56.6c
NOTE: No. shares in issue = $20m/50c = 40m shares
Answer 3 – 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.
