PROFESSIONAL 2 EXAMINATION - NOVEMBER 2020

Case Study: “Park Homes Group”

Hugo Ennis is the Chief Executive of Park Homes Group, a construction business whose stated mission is to build
sustainable homes of excellent quality in vibrant communities. Hugo Ennis knows the construction business well. He
comes from a long line of family builders. He himself spent many years in Australia working in construction. In 2009, he
returned to Ireland and founded Park Homes Ltd. Park Homes was founded at the height of Ireland’s financial and
economic crash. The business started on a small scale but quickly expanded when the economy recovered and demand
for housing surged. In 2014, the company floated on the Euronext exchange, Dublin (formerly the Irish Stock Exchange).
It has successfully raised almost €100m in equity and debt capital since then.

Park Homes Group is made up of the parent company Park Homes Construction Plc (Park Homes) and two subsidiaries
Alpha Ltd and Beta Ltd. A third subsidiary, Greta Ltd, was sold during the year. Details of its acquisitions are as follows:

Company Alpha Beta Greta


€000 €000 €000
Date of acquisition 01/10/17 01/10/16 01/10/12
% acquired 100% 70% 100%
Purchase Consideration €20m €30m €3m
Fair value of net assets at acquisition date €8m €27.04m €2.8m
Goodwill (note) €12m € 2.96m €200,000

Note: The goodwill arising on the acquisition of Alpha and Beta has not been impaired to date. However, there are now
indications that Alpha may be impaired. Details of this possible impairment are outlined in Issue (5) below.

You are the financial controller of Park Homes Group. You are very proud to work for this company. Park Homes has a
very strong ethical culture. It is respected worldwide for its honesty and integrity and its shares are listed in the top ethical
stocks on the Euronext Dublin. However, an issue has come to light in recent days that has raised doubts in your mind
about this ethical stance. The issue involves the pricing of construction contracts. You have set out some thoughts on this
matter in outstanding issue (8) but you haven’t had time to think about what to do. You are under such time pressure. Hugo
Ennis has requested a copy of the finalised consolidated financial statements by the end of this week and these must take
priority.

Park Homes prepares financial statements to 30 September each year. It is now 25 October 2020. You have just completed
a first draft of the group profit and loss account and statement of financial position. These exclude the results of Greta
Ltd, the disposed subsidiary. There are some other outstanding issues that need to be resolved too before the accounts
can be finalised. These issues are summarised below.

OUTSTANDING ISSUES IN RESPECT OF THE PARK HOMES GROUP COMPANIES’ FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AT
30 SEPTEMBER 2020.
Note: You can ignore the effects of taxation unless you are directed to address it as part of a specific issue.

Issue 1
Park Homes are developers of starter homes and apartments but they also contract for third party projects. Third party
contracts are presented as construction contracts in the financial statements. Following the introduction of IFRS15
Revenue from Contracts with Customers in 2018, the company set out a revised accounting policy for construction
contracts. The new policy states that each contract should be treated as a separate single performance obligation satisfied
over time and that revenue for an accounting period should be calculated based on the percentage of total costs incurred.

In 2019, Park Homes was appointed contractor for the construction of a new social housing development in the West of
Ireland. The contract price was €20m plus a bonus of €2m if construction was completed within 24 months. The contract
was signed on 1February 2019. At that date, the company expected total costs to be in the region of €17m but they could
not say for certain that the work would be completed within 24 months. During the year ended 30 September 2019,
construction costs of €4m were incurred on this contract. The only entry made in the 2019 accounts was to debit cost of
sales and credit bank with these costs. No reference was made to IFRS15.

Page 1
In the current year, additional costs of €8m were incurred and these were also debited to cost of sales and credited to
the bank. Again, no entries were made to revenue. Furthermore, a stage payment of €10m was received and this was
debited to the bank account and credited to revenue.

It is now anticipated, that based on revised staff availability, the project should be completed within the 24 month period.

Issue 2
Park Homes has a number of leasing contracts on its books relating to machinery and equipment. Following a review of
IFRS16 Leases, you are now satisfied that, with the exception of two contracts, all of the Group’s leasing contracts are
presented in accordance with IFRS16 The two exceptions are lease P156 and lease P279. Park Homes is the lessee in
both leases contracts.

Lease P156 is a contract for the right-of-use of demolition equipment. This lease was signed on 1 October 2019. The lease
requires the payment of three semi-annual amounts of €300,000 each, commencing on 1 October 2019. By 30 September
2020, two instalments had been paid and they were entered in the books as a debit to property, plant and equipment and
a credit to bank. No depreciation has been charged on the capitalised amounts. In addition to the lease payments, issue
costs relating to this contract €15,000 have been paid and have been expensed in full to the profit and loss account. The
cost of financing P156 is 8% per half-year and the present value of the lease payments, at the date of signing, was
€835,000.

The second lease is P279. P279 was also signed on 1 October 2019 and this requires three annual payments of €200,000
each to be made on 30 September 2020, 2021 and 2022. The first payment was made on 30 September 2020 and this
was written off in full to administration expenses. In addition to the annual payments, P279 also includes a variable
payment clause. This means that additional sums must be paid to the lessor if certain performance measures are attained
by the end of each accounting period. You have now established that, based on the company’s current performance, an
additional payment of €18,000 is due this period. This additional charge has not yet been accrued in the accounts. The
cost of financing P279 is 4% per annum and the present value of the lease payments at the inception of the lease was
€555,000.

Issue 3
On 1 September 2019, Park Homes acquired a property in a liquidation sale for €1m. The property was in a state of
disrepair. The directors’ planned to renovate the property and re-locate the group’s head office there. The building work
commenced on 1 January 2020 and was completed on 1 July 2020. The schedule of costs were as follows:

Date 1 Jan 1 March 1 May 1 July Total


2020 2020 2020 2020
€ € € € €
Materials 250,000 200,000 40,000 490,000
Labour 70,000 180,000 130,000 70,000 450,000
Professional fees 40,000 40,000
Opportunity cost (see note below) 6,000 6,000
Post-production maintenance 5,000 5,000
Total 366,000 380,000 170,000 75,000 991,000

Note: The renovation was financed entirely from the company’s own cash resources. You have estimated that the deposit
interest lost as a result of this was €6,000.

On acquisition, the purchase price of €1m was debited to property, plant and equipment but the renovation costs were
charged to administration expenses. The renovation lasted six months and although the work was completed on 1 July
2020, the building was not occupied until 1 October 2020. No depreciation was charged on the renovated property in the
2020 accounts. The group accounting policy is to charge depreciation on property on a monthly basis at a rate of 2% per
annum.

The property renovation was designed by Dermot Hubbard Architectural Services. Dermot Hubbard is a brother of Paul
Hubbard who is the chief construction engineer of Park Homes. Although Paul Hubbard owns a share of Dermot Hubbard
Architectural Services, he has no executive role within the company nor is he a director. However it has now come to your
attention that the Dermot Hubbard bid, which was one of three tenders received by Park Homes, was considerably higher
than the other tenders submitted. You are not clear if and how this information should be presented in the financial
statements.

Issue 4
The inventory figure for Park Homes of €370.3m is made up of the following:

€’000
Land held for development €274,000
Work In Progress €90,800
Completed homes for sale €5,500
Total €370,300

Work In Progress includes all costs associated with the on-going construction of residential property. This figure includes
€10m relating to a partly completed apartment complex in Manchester, UK. The complex is 100% complete for materials
and 80% complete for conversion costs. At 30 September 2020, it is estimated that the costs to complete the complex
will be €9m and the date for completion will be 30 April 2021. The apartments are expected to be sold at a profit although
no final selling price has been fixed. There is a lull in the market right now and based on current market values at 30
September 2020 the net realisable value of the complex will be lower than cost by €1.3m. You are wondering if you should
write down this inventory to net realisable value (NRV). The directors are reluctant to do this. They argue that strong
economic forecasts for 2021 will see prices rise to profitable levels.

Land that is purchased for development is presented as ‘Land held for development’ in the inventory figure. Only completed
land purchase contracts are included under this heading. Where the purchase of land is underway, any deposits paid are
included in trade and other receivables and are transferred to inventory only on the legal completion of a contract. A review
of this account at 30 September 2020 shows that amounts totalling €850,000, relating to completed land contracts, are
currently included in trade and other receivables.

Construction costs include all costs associated with the development of a construction site including post-production
costs. In August 2020, Beta Ltd secured planning permission to build 100 private homes close to Amsterdam City in the
Netherlands. One of the conditions of planning in the Netherlands is that builders are legally obliged to construct and pay
for the required public infrastructure relating to each housing development. This is generally done after the houses are
built. The public infrastructure costs associated with the Amsterdam contract are estimated to be €1.5m. However, no entry
has been made in the 2020 financial statements for this expense as this project is not due to be completed until 2023.
The cost of capital relevant to Beta’s international operations is 9% per annum.

Issue 5
Park Homes acquired 100% of Alpha International Ltd. on 1 October 2017. Alpha is an Irish company that exports
insulation materials across the world. At the date of acquisition, goodwill of €12m was calculated. The entire amount of
this goodwill has been outstanding since then as Alpha’s recoverable value has remained above its carrying amount.
This year, however, there are indications that Alpha may be impaired. You are only now getting around to completing this
review and you have not yet made any adjustment to the Group financial statements relating to this matter.
Alpha’s business is divided into two Cash Generating Units (CGUs); the Industrial Division and the Domestic Division.

When Alpha was originally acquired, €8m of the goodwill was attributable to the industrial division and €4m to the
domestic division.

The current carrying values of Alpha’s CGUs as at 30 September 2020 are as follows:

Industrial Domestic
€000 €000
Property, Plant and Equipment 3,800 2,900
Inventory 5,320 1,125
Receivables 5,500 3,500
Cash 450 450
Payables (1,200) (1,000)
13,870 6,975

In relation to the recoverable value of the divisions, it has not been possible to establish the net selling price for either
division but you have now received an estimate of the future cashflows for each of the CGUs. These are as follows:

Page 3
The Industrial Division
2021 2022 2023 2024 2025
€000 €000 €000 €000 €000

Taxation (100) (100) (110) (160) (160)

The Domestic Division


2021 2022 2023 2024 2025
€000 €000 €000 €000 €000
Operating cash 2,000 2,000 1,800 1850 1850

Taxation (80) (80) (80) (70) (70)
Net 1,720 1,720 1,520 1,530 1,530

You have also been advised that the Industrial Division would probably be sold at the end of 2025 for an estimated €6m,
but that the Domestic Division will be held indefinitely generating cashflows of €1.5m per annum in perpetuity.
The pre-tax cost of capital for each of Alpha’s divisions is 8% per annum. Taxation is 12.5% per annum.

Issue 6
Park Homes introduced a share option scheme this year for 10 of its key management personnel. 500,000 ordinary share
options were issued on 30 September 2020 to these staff members, with each staff member being issued 50,000 ordinary
shares. These share options were issued on the condition that each staff member in receipt of these share options would
work for Park Homes until 30 September 2022. A further condition of the contract was that the options would only vest
if Park’s share price reaches €20 per share at vesting date. At 30 September 2020, the firm’s share price was €10 per
share and at 25 October 2020, the firm’s share price was €10.40 per share. As these are below the €20 vesting price,
you made no entries to the financial statements. However, you are not so sure now if that was the correct treatment. You
have also heard rumours that one of the key employees is being head hunted by a rival construction firm and may no
longer be employed by Park Homes when the share options vest.

Issue 7
Park Homes sold its subsidiary, Greta Ltd, for €6.3m on 31 March 2020. Greta had been acquired on 1 October 2012 at
a cost of €3m for 100% of its equity shares. At the date of acquisition, the fair value of Greta’s net assets was €2.8m and
goodwill was calculated as €200,000.

The proceeds for the sale of Greta’s shares were received in cash and debited to a bank account and credited to
investments. The profit on disposal of the shares was netted against the cost of sales figure in the financial statements.
No other entries were included.

As part of the sale of Greta, Park Homes provided an indemnity to the buyer against unrecorded taxation liabilities that
might transpire in relation to Greta. You have just been informed that an additional tax liability of €2m is likely to be levied
on the company. No adjustment has been made in the accounts of Park Homes for this amount.

Issue 8
Park Homes has a reputation for being a socially and ethically responsible corporation. The company documentation
states that: ‘It is our integrity that makes us a leader in the construction industry and a trusted partner to our customers’.
So it bothers you to discover that the company may have been engaged in practices that fall well below their own standards
of excellence. In essence, you have discovered that some customers’ bills are being inflated by altering supervisors’ time
sheets. You discovered this by chance when you read an email from a disgruntled client querying their final bill. One of
the directors had replied to the client assuring them that the bill was correctly calculated. But you were never consulted
and now you are concerned. You are also shocked that this has happened as you are responsible for client billings. You
rely on your team to supply you with labour sheets and you trust their integrity. You have managed to look a little deeper
into this and you have also noticed some other discrepancies. These include, amongst other things, approving overtime
for foremen and paying sub-contractors more than the contracts specified. These actions were taken without client approval
and without your knowledge. You had accepted the work sheets and clients were charged accordingly.

You are not sure what to do. You have been careless and distracted in your work and you have let this happen. You
imagine that the measures crept in as a way to retain staff in a highly competitive jobs market but that doesn’t make it
right. You should report it. But, if you do raise this issue you may find you need to leave the company and you don’t want
to do that. Park Homes has been a very good employer to you. As well as a competitive remuneration package, they offer
flexible working hours and generous family leave. You know that you won’t find another position like this again. You could
carry on and pretend that you never saw the email.

You need some guidance on how to address this matter.

Finally, there is a related party issue here. IAS24. The renovation was designed by Dermot Hubbard architectural Services
which is part owned by Paul Hubbard chief engineering officer of Park Homes. Dermot Hubbard Architectural Services
and Park Homes are not subject to common control and there is no control by Paul Hubbard exercised in either company.
However there may be indirect influence (IAS24.9). Paul Hubbard appears to be in a position to influence the tender price
as the Hubbard tender was the successful one even though it was considerable higher than the other tenders.

Under IAS24 disclosures should be made as follows [IAS24.17]:

A description of the relationship between the parties


A description of the transactions undertaken
The amounts involved
Any other information necessary to form an understanding of the relationship

Issue (4) Inventory (10 Marks)

(i) Work in Progress


IAS2.28 - The cost of inventories may not be recoverable if those inventories …..or if their selling prices have
declined. The practice of writing down inventory below cost is consistent with the view that assets should not be
carried in excess of amounts expected to be realised from their sales or use. At 30.09.2020 the NET Realisable
below estimated cost of finsihed house cost by €1.3m. Clearly a NRV situation exists. The directors are reluctant
to write down as the expected selling price expected to recover. IAS2.33 states that a new assessment of NRV is
to be made in each period and when the circumstances that previsously caused inventories to be written down no
longer exist or there is evidence of a an increase in NRV…. Then the write down can be reversed.

Issue (6) Share Options (5 Marks)

Share options form part of the remuneration package in exchange for services. Because of the difficulty of of measuring
directly the fair value of the services received, the entity should measure the fair value of the employee services received
by reference to the fair value of the instruments [IFRS2.
]
If vesting conditions exist, the charge should be adjusted for the equity not yet granted. [IFRS2. ]

10 members of staff granted the options but one expected to leave so expectation is that options for 9 employees

The option value should be included in the financial statements as follows:

50,000 options * 9 staff members * €10 *1/3years 1500000
