BEFORE YOU CONTINUE TO THE REQUIRED SECTION.

QUESTION 1 100 marks

IGNORE VALUE ADDED TAXATION

You are the chief financial officer of Cable Ltd (Cable), a company specialising in the distribution and
manufacture of an extensive range of electric cables. The company imports and manufactures
electric cables. Cable has a 28 February financial year end and the company’s functional and
presentation currency is South African Rands.

CHONGHONG LTD – SUPPLY OF HARD DRAWN COPPER WIRE (HDCW)

Cable has a long-standing relationship with Chonghong Ltd (Chonghong), a company situated in
Chongqing, China. Chonghong has supplied Cable for many years with quality HDCW. However,
due to increased shipping costs, Cable has no alternative other than to start building its own plant to
produce the wire itself.

Cable informed Chonghong at commencement of the 20.19 financial year that Cable will stop
purchasing its HDCW wire from Chonghong as soon as the planned plant has been completed.
Chonghong was saddened with the news, but offered Cable funding to enable Cable to build the
new HDCW-plant. In return Chonghong will require Cable to supply Chonghong with 40% of Cable’s
HDCW output. This will decrease the shipping costs for Chonghong to meet its other southern
hemisphere customers’ HDCW demand. This arrangement will also benefit Cable who will have
capacity to supply Chonghong with the required 40% of its HDCW output once the plant is
completed.

CHONGHONG LTD – LOAN

On 1 March 20.18, Cable received a $240 000 loan from Chonghong. The loan bears interest at an
annual interest rate of 10%. You may assume that this rate is the market related interest rate for the
duration of the loan. Interest payments are payable annually in arrears and the capital is repayable
on 28 February 20.20.

Assume the following exchange rates are applicable:

$1=R

1 March 20.18 12,95


28 February 20.19 11,80
28 February 20.20 14,65
Average 1 March 20.18 to 28 February 20.19 12,375
Average 1 March 20.19 to 28 February 20.20 13,225

Assume Cable did not consider the exchange rate to fluctuate significantly.

ZFA4863/107

HDCW PLANT

Cable acquired the machinery and equipment for the HDCW plant from a local supplier and obtained
control of the machinery and equipment when it was delivered to its premises (Property A) on
15 July 20.18. Cable immediately commenced with the installation of the plant which took a
substantial time to complete. Plant is a qualifying asset in terms of IAS 23 Borrowing Costs and the
borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition and installation of the plant is R37 125. The
following information relates to the acquired machinery and equipment:

Payment to supplier on 15 November 20.18 (normal credit terms 30 days) R4 651 885,44
Cost of transportation to factory R15 191
Cost of external engineers who commissioned the plant R61 438
Remuneration of employees assisting with the installation (2 of the 20 employees R26 000
is administration personnel and you may assume all 20 employees receive the
same remuneration)
Useful life of the plant 20 years
Residual value R280 000
Future cost to dismantle the plant after its useful life R750 000

As part of the commissioning of the plant, the engineers tested the functioning of the plant at a cost
of R18 500. The quality wire produced during this time satisfied the requirements specified by the
engineers and the plant was signed off by the engineers on 31 August 20.18. On this date
management was pleased that the plant will function as required and commenced with the
production of the HDCW the day thereafter. The wire that was produced during the testing cycle was
sold to local entrepreneurs at a total price of R8 000. Cable donated these proceeds towards a
children’s hospital in their vicinity.

The plant requires an inspection every two years. At initial recognition it was estimated that the first
inspection cost will amount to R60 000.

On 1 August 20.18 Cable acquired safety equipment for the plant amounting to R185 000 from a
nearby supplier. On that day Cable also acquired spare parts amounting to R125 000 from the same
supplier. 25% of these spare parts relate to minor replacement parts, such as valves and screws.
Safety equipment and spare parts which is categorised as plant, can be utilised for six years and
requires no major installation. Minor replacement parts were consumed during the current financial
year.

The plant will be measured according to the cost model and depreciation is accounted for according
to the straight-line method over the useful lives of the assets.

POWER CHINA INTERNATIONAL ENERGY PROJECT

During a state visit to China, the South African president signed an agreement with the Chinese
government allowing the Chinese government to build a new 4 600-megawatt coal power station in
the Limpopo Province. This power station will be for the exclusive use of a new Chinese-controlled
industrial park. Nine Chinese companies, including Chonghong, committed to invest $10 billion in
this industrial park at a signing ceremony in Beijing.

On 15 February 20.19, Chonghong informed Cable that they will be erecting their own cable factory
in three years’ time when the construction of the power station and accompanying industrial park will
be completed. Thereafter they will produce their own cables and therefore will not acquire any further
HDCW from Cable.

NFA4863/107
ZFA4863/107

Considering the above, your financial team was tasked to critically evaluate the future of the HDCW
plant. The team also noted that it is necessary to consider the loan with Chonghong when
determining the recoverable amount of the plant cash-generating unit as a buyer of the cash-
generating unit will have to assume the loan. It was identified that the following group of assets
relates to the operations of the plant and is largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets
in the business:

Note Cost Carrying amount


28 February 20.19
R R
Land 1 Refer to note 1 Refer to note 1
Building 1 Refer to note 1 Refer to note 1
Plant Refer above Refer above
Inventory 2 3 280 000 3 280 000
Trade receivables (including allowance for 3 - 1 210 000
expected credit losses)
Trade payables 4 - (786 828)

You may assume that all values are calculated correctly, unless indicated otherwise.

Notes:

1. Land and buildings

Property A consists of land and a building. This property is adjacent to Cable’s current
premises (Property B) and was acquired on 1 March 20.16. Cable has been leasing Property A
to a tenant since the company relocated its own business operations to Property B on
28 February 20.17.

A revaluation surplus amounting to R50 000 was recognised on the land of Property A on
28 February 20.17 when Cable commenced with the leasing of Property A to the tenant. To
date this is the only revaluation which Cable has performed on land.

Since Cable planned to utilise Property A as the premises for the new HDCW plant, the tenant
was given an official notification to vacate the premises on 30 June 20.18.

The following information relates to Property A:

Land Building
Accounting method according to IAS 16
Property, Plant and Equipment Revaluation Cost
Useful life at initial recognition Unlimited 20 years
Depreciation method N.A. Straight-line method
over useful life
Residual value at initial recognition - R280 000
Carrying amount
1 March 20.17 R1 750 000 R2 450 000
1 March 20.18 R1 750 000 R2 400 000
Fair value
30 June 20.18 R1 700 000 R2 400 000

The useful life and residual value of the building remained unchanged.

MJM
8 FAC4863/107
NFA4863/107
ZFA4863/107

The following fair values relating to land were determined on 28 February 20.19 in accordance
with IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement:

Fair value of use of land in combination with other assets and liabilities 1 600 000
Fair value of land on a stand-alone basis 1 650 000

Cable uses the fair value model to account for assets in terms of IAS 40 Investment Property.

2. Inventory

Included in inventory is fibre optic cable to the value of R875 000.

On 1 September 20.17 Cable signed a non-cancellable two-year contract with Fox Ltd (Fox) to
supply the telecommunication company monthly with 1 000-meter fibre optic cables at a fixed
rate of R210 per meter for the first year of the contract and at a fixed rate of R225 per meter for
the second year of the contract.

For the first year of the contract with Fox, Cable had a supplier who supplied the fibre optic
cable to Cable at a fixed rate of R180 per meter. Due to unforeseen circumstances the supplier
was liquidated after the first year of the contract between Cable and Fox. Cable had no fibre
optic cable on hand at 31 August 20.18. Cabled purchased all required fibre optic cable for the
remainder of the contract with Fox on 1 September 20.18. Cable could only acquire fibre optic
cable at R250 per meter.

3. Trade receivables

Cable recognised an allowance account for credit losses relating to debtors amounting to
R145 000 for the year ended 28 February 20.18. This allowance account for credit losses,
which is included in the R1 210 000, should be adjusted to R105 000 for the year ended
28 February 20.19.

4. Trade payables

You may assume that this figure has been calculated correctly for the year ended
28 February 20.19. The recoverable amount of the plant cash-generating unit cannot be
determined without consideration of this liability.

Your team anticipates that Chonghong will gradually increase its HDCW market share in
South Africa after the company has moved its business to the planned industrial park in Limpopo. On
28 February 20.19, your team therefore indicated that the plant has a remaining useful life of
10 years where after it will be dismantled at a cost of R500 000.

The recoverable amount of the plant cash-generating unit on 28 February 20.19 was determined to
be R8 500 000.

SHARE CAPITAL

Of the 300 000 authorised ordinary shares, 100 000 shares have been issued since incorporation
and there is no restriction on Cable to issue the remaining 200 000 shares. The four directors of
Cable are the founding members and only shareholders of the company.

1 March 20.18 R

Ordinary shares 5 000 000


Share premium 4 000 000

DIVIDENDS PAID

Ordinary dividend

All four directors of Cable are nearing retirement and on 1 September 20.18 the directors declared
and approved the following distributions:

• Each director will receive a repayment of their contributed share premium amounting to
R1 million per shareholder, payable in cash on the same date which the transfer of investment
property has been finalised at the deeds office (refer below).

• The company owns four properties in the luxurious Elements Private Golf Reserve which
enabled each director to entertain clients within the serene beauty of the bushveld. Due to the
increased costs to maintain these properties, Cable has decided to distribute the four
properties to its directors as dividends.

The following information relates to each property:

Original cost price:1 March 20.16 R2 000 000


Carrying amount: 1 September 20.18 R2 300 000
Market value: 1 September 20.18 R2 500 000
Market value: 31 December 20.18 R2 400 000
Tax value ?
Investment property transfer date at deeds office 31 December 20.18

Assume the cost to distribute the properties are negligible.

The properties have been accounted for as investment property according to the fair value method in
terms of IAS 40.

BONUS SCHEME

During the January 20.18 calendar year, you proposed a new bonus scheme to the board of
directors to assist the company with the retainment of key personnel, especially in the light of the
nearby retirement of the founding board members. This bonus scheme will be a first of its kind for
Cable. Key personnel will be granted a bonus after the completion of two years employment in the
form of either a predetermined number of shares in Cable itself or a cash payment equal to the value
of a predetermined number of shares in Cable. The company will have the option to determine the
method of settlement.

The board of directors had limited knowledge of the accounting of the suggested bonus scheme. The
majority supported the distribution of equity shares above a cash payment. According to their
understanding, a settlement in company shares will neither affect the company’s profit nor place
strain on the company’s cash flow resources.

You were tasked to prepare a presentation to the board of directors to inform them of the accounting
treatment of such a bonus scheme and to indicate to them the impact of the bonus scheme on the
profit of the company as well as to highlight any related cash flow risks it may entail.

MJM

ZFA4863/107

To prepare the presentation the following details pertaining to the bonus scheme, as well as
projected share price values, were made available:

Details of bonus scheme:

Commencement date of bonus scheme: 1 March 20.18


Bonus scheme remuneration option: Cash payment equal to the value of 1 000 shares of Cable or
1 000 actual shares in Cable.
Vesting condition: after 24 months of uninterrupted employment; and
Current number of employees who will qualify for the bonus scheme: five.

It is estimated that none of the five employees will leave the company during the vesting period.

1 March 20.18 50 45
28 February 20.19 55 51
28 February 20.20 60 56

* The fair value of the shares is lower due to post vesting transfer restrictions.

RETAINED INCOME

The retained income balance on 1 March 20.18 amounted to R13 500 000. Profit for the year ended
28 February 20.19 amounted to R5 500 000 before any of the above items were considered. There
were no other comprehensive income movements except those indicated in the information above.
You may assume that the income tax expense for the year ended 28 February 20.19 correctly
amounted to R1 270 347.

Additional information

• Assume that the normal income tax rate is 28% and the capital gains inclusion rate is 80%.
• A fair annual discount rate is 10% before tax (compounded monthly).
• Assume that Cable accounts for all changes in estimates prospectively from the date of
change in estimate.
• Cable complies with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

(d) Bonus scheme

Accounting of Proposed New Bonus Scheme

The proposed new bonus scheme will constitute a share-based payment arrangement
in terms of IFRS 2 Share-based Payments with a cash alternative, since it will be an
agreement between Cable Ltd and its employees that entitles its employees to receive
either:

(a) Cash for amounts that are based on the value of Cable Ltd’s ordinary share
capital, or
(b) Ordinary shares in Cable Ltd (1)

In order to account for such a share-based arrangement, Cable Ltd first need to
determine whether the company has a present obligation to settle in cash. (IFRS2.41)
If Cable Ltd has a present obligation to settle in cash, Cable Ltd need to account for
the transaction in accordance with the requirements applying to cash-settled share-
based payment transactions. (IFRS2.42) (1)

Since this will be the first time Cable Ltd has such a bonus scheme, and therefore
does not have a past practice of settling in cash, and the entity is not legally prohibited
from issuing shares, Cable Ltd does not have a present obligation to settle in cash. (1)
(IFRS2.41)

Cable Ltd therefore need to account for the transaction (as a whole) in accordance
with the requirements applying to equity-settled share-based payment transactions for
the duration of the vesting period, but still has the option on settlement date to choose
how the share-based payment will be settled. (2)

As an equity-settled share-based payment transaction the following journal entry will


be recognised for the year ended 28 February 20.19 and 28 February 20.20:

28 February 20.19 & 28 February 20.20 Dr Cr


R R
J1 Employee benefit expense (P/L) 112 500 (2)
(1 000 shares x 5 employees x R45)/2 year vesting
period (1)
Share-based payment reserve (SCE) 112 500
Accounting of bonus scheme for the first year of the
vesting period

The profit or loss of the company will therefore be affected from commencement of the
bonus scheme until the end of the vesting period, with the fair value of the number of
shares granted on commencement date (1 March 20.18) (IFRS 2.16). Since there is a
required vesting period, the expense will be accounted for over the duration of the
vesting period on a straight-line method as the services of the personnel are rendered
(IFRS 2.20). (2)

MJM
19 FAC4863/107
NFA4863/107
ZFA4863/107

At the end of the vesting period, Cable Ltd will account for the payment of the bonus
scheme as follows, depending which settlement option the company selects: (1)

(a) Cash Settlement:

28 February 20.20 Dr Cr
R R
J1 Share-based payment reserve (SCE) 225 000 (1)
(R112 500 x 2 years)
Retained earnings (SCE) 75 000 (1)
Bank (SFP) (1 000 shares x 5 x R60) 300 000 (1)
Cash settlement of bonus scheme

(b) Equity Settlement:

28 February 20.20 Dr Cr
R R (1)
J1 Share-based payment reserve (SCE) 225 000 (1)
Share capital (SCE) 225 000
Equity settlement of bonus scheme

However, if Cable Ltd elects the settlement alternative with the higher fair value at the
date of settlement, Cable Ltd will have to recognise an additional expense in profit or
loss for the excess value given. The expense that will be recognised will be the
difference between:

(a) The cash paid and the fair value of the equity instruments that would otherwise
have been issued, or
(b) The fair value of the equity instruments issued and the amount of cash that would
otherwise have been paid. (1)

The cash settlement fair value will be determined based on the share price of the 1 000
shares granted at that time, and the equity settlement will be determined based on the
fair value of the 1 000 shares at that point in time. (1)

However, since the fair value of the 1 000 shares of Cable Ltd will always be lower than
the actual share price of the 1 000 shares, due to post vesting transfer restrictions, no
additional expense will be recognised in profit or loss on settlement date if the equity
settlement option is chosen. (1)

Only if Cable Ltd selects the cash settled option an additional expense amounting to
R4 000 [(R60 x 1 000) – (R56 x 1 000)] will recognised on date of settlement. (1)

A cash settled share-based payment will affect the cash flow of the company at the end
of the vesting period and the company should budget for such a payment should (1)
Cable Ltd wish to settle by means of a cash payment. However, should Cable Ltd incur
any liquidity constraints at date of settlement, the company can select to settle in its
shares. (1)

Since Cable Ltd has the choice of settlement and only need to decide on their
settlement option at the end of the vesting period, the cash flow risk entailed within this
bonus scheme is avoidable since it is within the company’s control. (1)

QUESTION 1 58 marks

IGNORE ANY VALUE-ADDED TAX IMPLICATIONS.

CRYPTOCURRENCY

You are a first-year auditing clerk who has been appointed to assist with the audit of Mining Ltd
(Mining) for the year ended 28 February 20.19. For the last few days you have been situated at the
head offices of the company which is in Johannesburg.

Early on the morning of 28 February 20.19, while you were still enjoying a double short latte in your
recyclable Seattle take-away cup, Mr IT Guy came running out of the fish tank (an office partitioned
off with glass) with his laptop held high above him. You could see that his excitement was
overflowing, as he was shouting enthusiastically. All attention was drawn to the thrilled information
technology (IT) specialist and as the realisation dawned through to everyone else in the office, they
started to put their hands together. Slowly at first, but then with eagerness and shouts of
congratulations.

An employee sitting across you saw your puzzled face and tried to speak above the noise: “Bitcoin”.
“Bit of what?” you asked confused. “BitCOIN” she repeated herself, this time a bit louder, smiling.
“He was successful in mining another Bitcoin. You know, cryptocurrency”, she explained.

Interesting, you thought to yourself – you were under the impression that Mining were in the mining
of coal only. You soon learnt that the company is mining Bitcoins mainly for the long-term growth
opportunity which potentially lies within this decentralised convertible virtual currency. The coin hit an
all-time high in December 20.17 when it traded at $19 783,21 a coin. It also dropped with more than
50% within 16 days thereafter. Currently it has a value amounting to R55 000 each.

A Bitcoin does not have a unique identification number, but the transaction from which it originates
(named a Satochi, after the founder(s) of Bitcoin) is traceable. However, in order to receive and
transfer bitcoins, or a portion thereof, a Bitcoin Wallet is required. Each Bitcoin Wallet has a unique
address.

The Bitcoin Wallet address of Mr IT Guy’s laptop is 18TGt8oGgLzkCpjxMbiRfvbDo9NqMiningg and


within this wallet the balance of the owned Bitcoins is reflected. Mining secures the Bitcoin Wallet by
safe guarding all their computers and the information thereon.

In November 20.13 the first Bitcoin automated teller machine (ATM) opened in a coffee house in
Vancouver, Canada. In May 20.18, South Africa’s first cryptocurrency ATM was installed in
Johannesburg, which made cryptocurrency accessible to individuals who do not have a bank
account.

Mining can also exchange its Bitcoins for goods or services.

Considering the above, you commenced your day by writing a very important e-mail to your audit
manager who spent her virtual currency (in the form of air miles) to travel to the Seychelles before
the expiry of the miles. She did however indicate that she could be reached via e-mail for important
matters.

RE: Virtual Currency

Mrs Audit Manager,

It came to my attention that our client, Mining Ltd, is also mining virtual currencies - Bitcoin in
particular. The value of the Bitcoins (Bitcoin holdings) that have been mined during the year have not
yet been accounted for in the financial statements of Mining Ltd.

According to the South African Reserve Bank a virtual currency is a digital representation of value
that can be digitally traded and functions as a medium of exchange, a unit of account and/or a store
of value, but does not have legal tender* status.

Further readings on Bitcoin indicated that the potential of Bitcoin is not solely limited to serving as a
payment alternative, it has also been viewed as a commodity, asset class or security ripe for
speculative investment.

Considering the above, I have compiled a list of the possible recognition and measurement of
Mining Ltd’s Bitcoin holdings and will appreciate an indication on the way forward.

The Bitcoin holdings can be recognised and measured either as:

(1) A financial asset; or


(2) An intangible asset.

Hope the air miles rewarded you with fun in the sun.

Regards,
Me
Audit clerk

* Legal tender is a medium of payment recognised by a legal system to be valid for meeting a
financial obligation. Paper currency and coins are common forms of legal tender in many countries.

DEFERRED TAXATION

After the e-mail was written you returned to assist the accountant with finalising the company’s
deferred taxation calculation. The following incomplete calculation, as well as related information,
was supplied to you: (You may assume that the below information is correct.)

b

1. Land

Land is accounted for according to the revaluation method. On 28 February 20.19 the
revaluation surplus account reflects a closing balance of R2 328 000 relating to land only. This
amount was correctly recognised during the current financial year.

2. Buildings

The three buildings are accounted for according to the cost model and depreciated over their
useful lives according to the straight-line method.

On 28 February 20.19 the following journal entry was processed relating to one of the
warehouse buildings after the above schedule was already compiled:

Dr Cr
28 February 20.19 R R
J1 Non-current assets held for sale (SFP) (Balancing) 2 000 000
Accumulated depreciation and impairment (SFP)

Warehouse building at cost (SFP) (given) 3 000 000
Reclassification of warehouse to Non-current assets held for
sale on 28 February 20.19

The South African Revenue Services (SARS) allows a building allowance of 5% per annum,
not apportioned for part of a year, in terms of section 13(1)(b), on these buildings.

3. Plant

Plant was commissioned on 1 September 20.15 at a cost amounting to R7 000 000. The
SARS allows a wear and tear allowance with regard to the plant at 40% of the cost for the first
year and 20% for the subsequent three years (not apportioned for part of a year).

MJM
25 FAC4863/107
NFA4863/107
ZFA4863/107

4. Inventory

Mining valued its inventory at its net realisable value amounting to R1 050 000, which is
R150 000 below its cost price. According to section 22(1) of the Income Tax, the
Commissioner found that only 20% of the write-down to net realisable value to be just and
reasonable to represent the amount by which the value of such trading stock has diminished.

5. Lease of computers

The lease agreement for the lease of computers contains the following information:

Commencement 1 September 20.18


date
Lease term 3 years
Options contained Options to purchase computers at end of lease term
within the lease
At commencement of lease, there was no indication that the option will be
agreement
exercised
Lease payment R20 000 bi-annually in arrears

The SARS allows a wear and tear allowance over three years on a straight-line method
according to section 11(e) on the cost of computers. Mining depreciates right-of-use assets
according to the straight-line method. On 1 September 20.18 the computers had an expected
useful life of three years.

Mining could not determine the rate implicit in the lease. The incremental borrowing rate of
Mining was as follows:

• 7,75% per annum (compounded bi-annually) at 1 September 20.18; and


• 8,25% per annum (compounded bi-annually) at 28 February 20.19.

At inception of the lease, Mining acquired additional random-access memory (RAM) from
Incredible Connection to enhance the processing power of the computers. The cost of the
RAM amounted to R14 729.

On 28 February 20.19 Mining informed the lessor that they will exercise the option to purchase
the computer equipment at the end of the lease term. The lessor indicated that a final payment
amounting to R40 000 will be payable at the end of the lease term in order to exercise the
purchase option.

6. Bonus

It is company policy to reward deserving employees each financial year with a bonus, which is
payable in the month after the financial year end. For the year ended 28 February 20.18
R95 000 was paid for exceptional performance and in the current financial year that amount
totaled R146 500.

Section 7B of the Income Tax Act deems the expenditure incurred in respect of bonuses to be
incurred by the employer on the date during the tax year on which the amount is paid to the
employee by the employer.

7. Leave pay

Employees are granted 28 days of leave during each calendar year. All leave that is not
utilised (taken) during a calendar year, may roll over to the following calendar year for six
months only. There after the leave will be forfeited.

Only personnel who resign will receive a cash payment for any unutilised leave at the date of
resignation. Leave accrues to employees on a pro-rata basis for the number of months of
employment. The following information relates to the leave balances of Mining.

Number of days
Opening balance 1 March 20.18 1 150

Accrued during the year 3 220


Utilised during the year (3 265)
Paid during the year (70)

Closing balance 28 February 20.19 1 035

It is expected that 2 employees will resign in March 20.19. They have each accrued 13 days of
unused leave on 28 February 20.19. The average cost to company per employee per day
amounts to R960, while the average gross salary per employee per day totals R850. Mining
remunerates employees based on their gross salary, when leave is paid out at resignation and
accrues leave based on the cost to the company.

8. Taxation

On 12 February 20.19 an additional assessment was issued for the 20.18 tax year. According
to this assessment R15 000 is payable to the SARS of which R2 500 relates to a penalty for
late payment. Mining did not object this additional assessment.

9. Foreign income

During the current financial year Mining received foreign income which is only taxable in the
country of origin at a rate of 25%. The tax that was paid to the company of origin amounted to
R15 000.

10. Profit before tax

After considering the abovementioned items, the profit before tax for the year ended
28 February 20.19 correctly amounted to R6 000 000.

Additional information

• Assume that the normal income tax rate is 28% and that the capital gain inclusion rate is 80%.
• There are no temporary differences, other than those that are apparent from the information
contained in the question.
• The only non-taxable and non-deductible items included in the accounting profit or loss are
those that are apparent from the information provided.
• Mining expects to realise capital gains in the nearby future.

QUESTION 2 42 marks

IGNORE ANY VALUE-ADDED TAX IMPLICATIONS.

PART I

Furn Decor Ltd (Furn Decor) is a listed company on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and deals in
the manufacturing and wholesaling of elegant home furniture. It has been in operation for the past
20 years and built a reputation for being the best when it comes to quality home furniture.

You are the newly appointed financial manager of Furn Decor. The financial director has asked you
to assist with the completion of the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 20.19.

An extract of the following balances was presented to you:

Balance on 1 October 20.18 R

Ordinary share capital 40 000 000


Retained earnings 10 250 000

The profit before tax amounted to R18 475 000 before taking the following information into account:

1. On 1 December 20.18, Furn Decor acquired 500 000 ordinary shares in CAP Ltd (CAP) for
R5,50 per share. The fair value of the shares on this date was R2 400 000. Furn Decor paid
R20 000 in transaction costs to acquire these shares. On 28 February 20.19, CAP
repurchased 15% of their shares pro-rata from all the shareholders at its fair value.
Transaction costs of R8 000 were paid by CAP. On 30 April 20.19, CAP issued dividends of
R0,80 per share to its existing shareholders.

This is the first time that Furn Decor has purchased equity instruments.

Furn Decor irrevocably elected in terms of IFRS 9.5.7.5 to present subsequent changes in the
fair value of the investment in the mark-to-market reserve.

Furn Decor has a policy of reclassifying previous fair value adjustments to retained earnings
upon derecognition or financial assets designated at fair value through OCI.

The following fair value schedule was made available to you:

Date Fair value


1 October 20.18 R4,80 per share
28 February 20.19 R6,85 per share
30 September 20.19 R8,20 per share

2. On 1 October 20.17, Furn Decor purchased unlisted corporate bonds at its face value (also fair
value) of R5 000 000. The bonds pay interest every four months at a nominal market related
coupon rate of 8% per annum. The bonds will mature on 30 September 20.22 at a premium of
15% of its face value. The bonds are correctly held within a business model where the
objective is achieved both by holding financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows
of principal and interest as well as to sell the bonds.

credit impaired)

3. On 1 April 20.17, Furn Decor obtained a loan from Best Bank in order to finance a lucrative
investment project. The loan was for an amount of R5 000 000 and R785 000 is repayable
every 6 months, starting from 30 September 20.17, for the next 4 years. On 1 April 20.19, Furn
Decor decided to renegotiate the terms of the loan payable to maintain its liquidity. The loan
was settled by issuing 60 000 non-redeemable Class A preference shares of Furn Decor with a
fair value of R51 each. Preference dividend payments are at the discretion of Furn Decor.

PART II

You have been appointed as the IFRS consultant for Swiss Ltd (Swiss), a chocolate manufacturer
that is listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Swiss manufactures different varieties of milk
and dark chocolate and has branches all over South Africa.

Currently, the company is trying to expand its footprint in other African countries.

After extensive market research, it was determined that opening up a new branch in Zambia will
assist Swiss to gain entrance in the African market. In order to finance the expansion, Swiss issued
5 000 debentures with a nominal amount of R11 000 000 at a fair value of R2 000 per debenture on
30 September 20.19. Interest of R165 000 is payable quarterly, in arrears, and the debentures will
mature on 30 September 20.23. Each debenture is convertible at the option of the holder into
20 ordinary shares for every five debentures held. Debentures not converted, will be redeemed at
their nominal amount.

On 30 September 20.19 transaction costs of 800 000 were incurred by Swiss. Any transaction costs
incurred on the issuance would be deductible for tax purposes in the tax year in which these costs
are incurred. A market related interest rate on 30 September 20.19, for similar debentures without
conversion rights is 11% per annum, paid quarterly in arrears.

Only the following entries have been processed in respect of the issue of these debentures:

(a) Prepare the audit work paper as instructed by your audit manager in the e-mail below
which she sent in response to your enquiry:

RE: Virtual Currency

Dear Me

Thank you for your e-mail, and the information relating to cryptocurrency. With regard
to your query, please refer to my comments below:

It is evident to me that Mining Ltd acquired the Bitcoin holdings mainly for capital
appreciation (investment) purposes, to gain from increases in the market value
thereof and will realise it at fair value when it is sold. Should the company decide to
transact with the Bitcoin holdings in order to obtain other goods or services, the
Bitcoin holdings will also be realised at fair value.

Therefore, in my view, to increase the usefulness of the information provided in the


financial statements, the Bitcoin holdings should be measured at fair value, with any
movement in the fair value thereof recognised in profit or loss, since this will provide
both relevant information to users of the financial statements as well as faithful
representation of the financial performance of Mining Ltd.

While I am on leave, please prepare a work paper containing the following:

(i) Discuss whether the recognition and measurement of the Bitcoin holdings at 16
fair value, with any movement in the fair value thereof recognised in profit or
loss, will be best achieved by accounting for the Bitcoin holdings as a financial
asset or as an intangible asset in terms of the International Financial Reporting
Standards relevant to each option;

Please note:
• Your answer should not refer to the Conceptual Framework.

(ii) Also kindly discuss whether Mining Ltd’s Bitcoin holdings qualifies as an asset 4
in terms of the definition of an asset according to the revised Conceptual
Framework of 2018; and

QUESTION 1 – Suggested solution

(a) Working Paper

Client Mining Ltd SFP 2


Preparer ME
Reviewer Mrs Audit Manager
Date 1/03/.19

Recognition and measurement of a Bitcoins

(i) Recognition and measurement options:

(1) Financial asset:

Recognition

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments allows for financial instruments to be measure at fair


value, with the movement in the fair value thereof to be recognised in profit or loss.
However, in order to account the Bitcoin holdings as a financial asset, the Bitcoin
holdings has to meet the definition of a financial instrument in terms of IAS 32
Financial Instruments: Presentation. (1)
In order for the Bitcoin holdings to meet the definition of a financial instrument as defined
in IAS 32 it has to be a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and
a financial liability (or equity instrument) of another entity. (1)

However the Bitcoin holdings:

• Is not a financial asset as defined in IAS 32, since:


• It is neither cash, due to the South African Reserve Bank that does not
regard bitcoins as legal tender and it cannot be readily exchanged for goods
or services (IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows); (1)
• nor cash equivalents since their value is exposed to significant changes in
market value (IAS 7); (1)
• Is, not a contractual right since possession of a Bitcoin does not grant the holder
thereof any contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset; and (1)
• Is not an equity instrument or a contract to be settled in equity instruments. (1)

Therefore the Bitcoin Holdings cannot be recognised as a financial asset. (1)

(2) Intangible asset

In order to account for the Bitcoin holdings as an intangible asset the definition and
recognition requirements should be met (IAS 38.18).

Definition

The Bitcoin has to be an identifiable non-monetary asset without physical


substance. (no mark)

MJM
32 FAC4863/107
NFA4863/107
ZFA4863/107

Since Bitcoin is a form of digital money (virtual currency), it does not have any physical
substance. (1)

Each Bitcoin Wallet in which the value of the Bitcoin holdings is contained has a unique
address and the Bitcoin holdings can be traded on an exchange or in peer-to-peer
transactions, therefore is identifiable. (1)

Bitcoin is also identifiable as it identified to be separable since Mining Ltd can transfer
it via ATM of exchange it for other goods and services. (1)

Monetary assets are money held and assets to be received in fixed or a determinable
amount of money. The value of the Bitcoin holdings is not fixed or determinable, but
subject to major fluctuations that arise from supply and demand that cannot be predicted.
Therefore, it is not monetary but non-monetary in nature. Also, it does not have legal
tender status under the South African Reserve Bank and therefore will remain
non-monetary. (2)

Mining controls the Bitcoin as it can benefit from its long-term growth and it has
restricted access to the Bitcoin wallet by safeguarding their computers (IAS 38.13). (1)

Recognition

Mining Ltd can benefit economically from long term growth and by exchanging it for other
goods and services. (½)

The cost of the bitcoin can be measured reliably at R55 000. (½)

Conclusion

Considering the above, Mining Ltd can account for its Bitcoin holdings as an intangible
asset. (1)

Measurement

The Bitcoin was not purchased, but mined, therefore the initial measurement at cost
will consist of cost directly attributable in obtaining the Bitcoin (being the cost of
leasing the computer equipment, employee cost as well as the electricity cost). (1)

The Bitcoin holdings will subsequently be measured on either the cost model or the
revaluation model. (1)

Since Bitcoin transactions takes place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide
pricing information on an ongoing basis an observable, active market exists in order to
account for Bitcoin according to the revaluation model. (2)

The Bitcoin holdings has an indefinite useful life and therefore will not be amortised.
(1)

However, all movements, other than decreases greater than previous increases, will
be accounted for in other comprehensive income (OCI) and any realised gain will not
be recycled through profit or loss. Therefore the movement in the fair value of the
Bitcoin holdings will not be reflected in profit or loss. (2)

MJM
33 FAC4863/107
NFA4863/107
ZFA4863/107

Conclusion:

Since the Bitcoin holdings fail to meet the criteria to be recognised as a financial
instrument, recognition and measurement of the Bitcoin holdings at fair value will be best
achieved by accounting for the Bitcoin holdings as an intangible asset according to the
revaluation method. This will, however, not achieve the recognition of the movement in
the fair value of the Bitcoin holdings in profit or loss. (2)

To ensure that the financial statements will provide relevant information to the users
thereof, Mining Ltd can consider additional disclosure of relevant information.
Total (24)
Maximum (16)

(iii) Classification of a Bitcoin holdings as an asset:

According to the revised Conceptual Framework, Mining Ltd will be able to classify its Bitcoin
holdings as an asset, if a past event(s) has led the company to have control over a present
right to the Bitcoin holdings that has the potential to produce economic benefits to Mining Ltd
which will encompass an economic resource for Mining Ltd. (1)

Mining Ltd has obtained its Bitcoin holdings due to the mining thereof which is the past
event. (1)

Mining Ltd also obtained a right that has the potential to produce economic benefits since
the Bitcoin holdings entitles or enables Mining Ltd to receive cash by either selling the coins
on an exchange or redeeming it for cash at an automated teller machine (ATM). It also
enables Mining Ltd to receive another economic resource or extinguish liabilities by
transferring the coins. (2)

Mining Ltd also has control over its Bitcoin holdings since it has the present ability to
direct the use (either sell it on the exchange or exchange it for goods or services) of the coins
and to obtain the economic benefits that may flow from it. Mining Ltd also has the present
ability to prevent other parties from directing the use of the coins and obtaining the
economic benefits that may flow from it, since it is securely stored on Mining Ltd’s
computers which is under their control only. (2)

Conclusion:

According to the revised Conceptual Framework, the Bitcoin holdings can be classified as an
asset. (1)
Total (7)
Maximum (4)

(iv) Support of fair value measurement:

The revised Conceptual Framework of 2018 (Conceptual Framework) allows for a


measurement bases which accounts an asset at its current value, which includes the fair
value thereof. (1)

The revised Conceptual Framework, does however, also indicate that the enhancing
qualitative characteristics of comparability, understandability and verifiability together with
the cost constraint need to be taken into account to select the measurement basis. Since
an active market exists for Bitcoins, there will be limited cost constraints for Mining Ltd to
elect that its Bitcoin holdings should/can be measured at fair value. (3)

MJM
34 FAC4863/107
NFA4863/107
ZFA4863/107

Lastly, the revised Conceptual Framework indicates that since the statement of profit or loss
is the primary source of information about an entity’s financial performance for the
period, all income and expenses should be included in this statement. Only in
exceptional circumstances income or expenses arising form a change in the current value of
an asset or liability will be included in other comprehensive income, should it result in the
statement of profit or loss to provide more relevant information or be a more faithful
presentation of the company’s financial performance for the period; which imply that any
movements in the fair value of Mining Ltd Bitcoin holdings for the period under review should
be recognised in profit and loss. (4)

Conclusion:

Therefore, the revised Conceptual Framework supports the recognition and measurement of
Mining Ltd’s Bitcoin holdings at fair value with the movement in the fair value thereof
recognised in profit or loss. (1)

QUESTION 1 50 marks

IGNORE ANY ADDED-VALUE TAX IMPLICATIONS

You are the auditor of both Tyger Properties Ltd (Tyger), a company in the property development
industry, as well as Washi-Washi Ltd (Washi), a company who owns various car wash and valet
centres. Both companies are situated in the Western Cape Province and are listed on the
Johannesburg Stock Exchange. You are currently occupied with the finalisation of the audit of both
Tyger and Washi’s financial statements for the year ended 28 February 20.18.

On 12 April 20.18 you entered Building A of the Tygerforum Office Park in Tygervalley,
Western Cape. You have an appointment with the directors of Washi to discuss their draft financial
statements for the year ended 28 February 20.18. Your aim is to give a broad summary of the
company’s performance for the current financial year, as well as to finalise any outstanding matters.

Washi has experienced a decline in previous year profits, mainly due to the ongoing drought in the
Western Cape. However, by diversifying its business to provide waterless cleaning services, the
company has lifted its head and you were pleased to announce that the preliminary after-tax profit
for the 20.18 financial year amounted to R1 700 000.

It is the first year that this meeting is held in this office building. More than a year ago Washi
approached you for advice on selling their current administration building in Cape Town and leasing
a building until more favourable conditions might allow relief to their cash flow constraints. You
acknowledge the necessity of the decision and introduced Washi to one of your clients, Tyger, who
recently developed the Tygerforum Office Park in Tygervalley.

Tyger had been marketing the sale of Building A in this office park since November 2016. However,
the company agreed to lease Building A to Washi until the construction of the surrounding buildings
had been finalised, since they believed the fully developed office park will present the sale of the
property more lucrative. Tyger still intends to sell the property after the lease agreement with Washi
has expired. At inception of the lease, Washi indicated that they would lease the property for one
year only. Washi did not elect to recognise the lease as a short-term lease in terms of IFRS 16
Leases (paragraph 5). Washi occupied the building on 1 March 20.17, which was also the date of
commitment by the parties to the principal terms and conditions of the lease.

You were aware that Washi informed Tyger on 1 September 20.17 that they intend to extend the
lease term until 31 August 20.18, according to the option to extend the lease term provided in the
original lease agreement. However, only after discussing Tyger’s financial statements with its
directors earlier in the week, it came to your attention that Washi requested Tyger on
15 March 20.18 to amend the original lease contract to include an option to purchase the building
after the extended lease term has expired.

The chief financial officer of Washi replied that they were impressed with the building from the start,
and to remain conservative initially only extended the lease term. However, they were reluctant to
lose the building and after reviewing their preliminary profit for the 20.18 financial year, they were
confident to include an option to purchase the building. He diplomatically apologised for not
informing you and questioned if this decision will affect the financial statements for the year ended
28 February 20.18.

Additional information

• Washi measures its right-of-use assets according to the cost model in terms of IAS 16
Property, Plant and Equipment and depreciates the right-of-use assets on the straight-line
method.
• Washi presents its right-of-use assets as a separate line item in the statement of financial
position.

Tyger Properties Ltd

During April 20.18 you finalised the audit of the financial statements of Tyger for the year ended
28 February 20.18. Tyger’s accountant took a sabbatical during the current financial year and the
accounts clerk, who stood in for her, regarded it sufficient to allocate all lease payments received
from Washi to an income received account. Washi paid all payments on their respective due dates.

When the accountant returned on 1 April 20.18, she debited this income received account and
accounted for the lease as a finance lease in the capacity of a manufacturer or dealer lessor in the
accounting records for the year ended 28 February 20.18. The following were included in the items
that she recognised for the year ended 28 February 20.18:

Dr/(Cr)
R

Revenue (11 000 000)


Gross investment in lease (R1 785 000 + R1 090 210 + R11 600 000) 14 475 210
Cost of sales 10 200 000
Deferred tax liability (508 678)
Interest income calculated at an interest rate implicit in the lease ?
Unearned finance income ?

When you discussed the classification of the lease with her, she indicated that, with her return to the
office she noted from the modified lease contract that the intention of Washi is to purchase
Building A after the lease term has expired. Therefore, she accounted for the lease to reflect that all
risks and rewards incidental to ownership will transfer to Washi at the end of the lease term.

Additional information

• The South African Revenue Services allows a 5% capital allowance in terms of


section 13(quin) on all new buildings used for commercial purposes (administration buildings).
• According to Tyger’s accounting policy, investment property is accounted for at fair value in
terms of IAS 40 Investment Property.

General information

• You may assume that the normal income tax rate is 28% and the capital gains inclusion rate is
80% for all periods.

QUESTION 2 50 marks

IGNORE ANY VALUE-ADDED TAX

You are employed by Aware Ltd (Aware). Aware provides accounting consulting services to various
clients. Your portfolio includes the following three allocated clients who have approached you
regarding the following matters:

Client 1: Dubaico Ltd

Dubaico Ltd (Dubaico) is a diversified company specialising in a wide range of business activities.
The company is listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and has a 30 June financial year end.

The current tax calculation for the year ended 30 June 20.18 was correctly calculated by Mr Ramco,
the financial accountant, as indicated below:

R
Loss before tax (2 450 000)
Non-taxable/non-deductible differences:
- Fair value adjustments on buildings (R800 000 x 20%) (160 000)
- Foreign income not taxable (see note 1) (200 000)
- Dividends received not taxable (350 000)
Movement in taxable temporary differences (840 000)
Assessed loss (4 000 000)

The following extract of the income tax expense note to the financial statements of Dubaico was
disclosed for the year ended 30 June 20.18:

The balance of the deferred tax account in the statement of financial position at 30 June 20.18 was
correctly calculated by Mr Ramco as follows:

Dr/(Cr)
R
Investment property (207 200)
Machinery (33 600)
Payments in advance (44 800)

(235 200)
Assessed loss (see note 2) 1 120 000
Deferred tax asset not recognised (see note 2) (772 800)
112 000

The directors and the auditors correctly concluded that a maximum deferred tax asset amounting to
R112 000 in respect of all temporary differences could be justified.

The following extract of the deferred tax note to the financial statements of Dubaico was disclosed
for the year ended 30 June 20.18:

Notes

1. Included in loss before tax is an amount of R200 000 for services rendered in a foreign country
and therefore not taxable in South Africa. The foreign tax on this income is payable at a tax
rate of 20%.

2. The South African Revenue Services (SARS) assessment for 30 June 20.18 reflects an
assessed tax loss of R4 000 000. On 30 June 20.18 the directors were not certain that
sufficient future taxable income would be earned to utilise the full assessed tax loss.

3. The SARS issued an additional assessment for the 20.17 year of assessment of R80 500
(payable) due to expenses not allowed as deductions by SARS. Dubaico accepted the
additional assessment and the amount was correctly accounted for as a current tax expense in
the financial records of Dubaico for the year ended 30 June 20.18.

Client 2: Elmar Properties Ltd

Elmar Properties Ltd (Elmar) is a real estate investment company and listed on the Johannesburg
Stock Exchange. The preparation of the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 20.18 was
supervised by a newly appointed accountant.

Elmar bought an office building for the total amount of R4 200 000, payable on 1 May 20.18 when
the legal title and control of the building was transferred to Elmar. The office building is vacant and
will be held by Elmar to be leased out under an operating lease.

Despite the fact that Elmar advertised the office building through leasing agents since acquisition
date, the office building was still vacant on 30 June 20.18.

In addition to the abovementioned cash price, Elmar incurred the following costs relating to the
acquisition of the building:

• Legal fees of R34 500 to draw up the purchase agreement. Both parties agreed that a
purchase agreement must be drawn up for the transaction to be valid and that the seller will
reimburse 30% of the fee; and

• Property transfer duty of R1 850 000.

Elmar realised operating losses of R104 500 on this vacant office building for the year ended
30 June 20.18.

Client 3: Baron Ltd

Baron Ltd (Baron) is a private company and one of Africa's largest food distributors with a
31 December 20.17 financial year end. The company has applied the latest International Financial
Reporting Standards since its corporation a few years ago. The company measured certain financial
assets at fair value in its financial statements at year end and wants to increase consistency and
comparability in the fair value measurement of these assets.

During May 20.15 the Financial Service Board (FSB) ruled that a company may no longer trade with
over the counter (OTC) shares without a licence. Many unlisted companies traded their shares OTC.
This means their shares are traded via an electronic platform on a website without any stock
exchange licence in place and without any regulations.

After the FSB’s ruling, many unlisted companies that were trading their shares OTC were in a
situation where investors could not buy or sell these shares. This situation continued during 20.16.

ZAR X Ltd (ZARX) announced in the beginning of 20.17 that it has been granted a stock exchange
licence by the FSB. The licence enables the company to operate a fully-fledged, independent stock
exchange and provides an exciting alternative for smaller unlisted companies that want to list their
securities on a licenced exchange. ZARX plans for facilitate listings of restricted share schemes,
currently trading OTC, which the FSB ruled were in contravention of capital market regulations.

Baron purchased a small investment in the ordinary shares of Rock Ltd (Rock) on 2 January 20.13.
Rock was one of the companies that traded OTC and was therefore affected by the FSB ruling. Rock
immediately listed their shares on the ZARX Exchange when ZARX obtained its licence. Baron
accounts for these shares at fair value through profit or loss.

MJM
48 FAC4863/107
NFA4863/107
ZFA4863/107

After the FSB ruling in May 20.15, due to the lack of market price information from OTC trades,
Baron estimated the fair value of Rock’s shares based on a price-earnings (PE) multiple valuation
method. This typically involved using the PE multiple for similar listed companies, adjusted for entity
specific risk factors and multiplying this risk-adjusted PE by the company’s unadjusted audited
earnings for the year.

Since its listing on ZARX in February 20.17, Rock has been trading on a narrow band of between
R5,90 and R6,00 per share. Information from ZARX’s website indicated that 40 trades took place
during the last 60 days prior to the financial year end 31 December 20.17. The closing price for the
year ended 31 December 20.17 was R5,95, based on the last trade price on 31 December 20.17.

QUESTION 1 – Suggested solution

(a) Memorandum to financial manager

MEMORANDUM

TO: Tyger Properties Ltd: Financial Manager


FROM: Successful Auditor
RE: Lease classification
DATE: 3 October 20.18

To whom it may concern,

During our audit process, it came to our attention that the lease transaction with
Washi-Washi Ltd was accounted for as a finance lease at initial recognition. In our
professional opinion, IFRS 16 Leases guides us to conclude otherwise. Please allow us to
address the matter as follows:

(i) Correct classification of the lease transaction in the financial records of


Tyger Properties Ltd:

The lease classification is made at the inception date and is reassessed only if there is
a lease modification (IFRS 16.66).

The inception date is the earlier date of a lease agreement and the date of commitment
(1 March 20.17) by the parties to the principal terms and conditions of the lease
(Appendix A). (1)

A lessor shall classify each of its leases as either an operating lease or a finance lease
(IFRS 16.61).

Since the classification of a lease will depend on the substance of the transaction
rather that the form of the contract, Tyger Properties Ltd needs to assess the
substance of the lease transaction on this date (1 March 20.17) in order to classify
the lease as either a finance lease or an operating lease (IFRS 16.63). (1)

The lease of the building will be classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all
the risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the building. If the lease does
not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the
building, the lease will be classified as an operating lease (IFRS 16.62).

The following would, individually or in combination, normally lead to a lease being


classified as a finance lease (IFRS 16.63):

(a) The lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee at the end of
the lease term.

MJM
52 FAC4863/107
NFA4863/107
ZFA4863/107

At inception of the lease the lease agreement did not include an option to
transfer ownership of Building A to Washi-Washi Ltd. At inception of the lease
Washi-Washi Ltd intention was to lease the building for one year only, and
Tyger Properties Ltd intended to sell the property after the lease term; all of
which implies that the property will be returned to Tyger Properties Ltd. (2)

(b) The lessee has the option to purchase the underlying asset at a price that is
expected to be sufficiently lower than the fair value at the date the option
becomes exercisable; for it to be reasonably certain at the inception date that the
option will be exercised.
A bargain purchase option does not exist at initial recognition. (1)

(c) The lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the underlying asset,
even if title is not transferred.
At inception of the lease, the lease term is for only 1 year of the remaining
30 years which is not considered to be for a major part of the economic life of
the building. (1)

(d) At the inception date, the present value of the lease payments amounts to at
least substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset.

On 1 March 20.17 the fair value of Building A amounted to R11 000 000. On this
date the total of the lease payments (excluding the option to extend the lease for
another six months) amounted to R1 785 000, which is not at all close to the fair
value of the asset and the present value thereof will be even lower. (2)

(e) The underlying asset is of such a specialised nature that only the lessee can use
it without major modifications.
The nature of the buildings is not of a specialised nature. (1)

The following indicators further support that the lease is not a finance lease (IFRS 16.64):

(a) If the lessee can cancel the lease, the lessor’s losses associated with the
cancellation are borne by the lessee.
Washi having to pay only R20 000 in advance on cancellation date, suggests
that other losses associated with the cancellation, e.g. paying operating costs
while being vacant, will be borne by Tyger Properties Ltd. (2)

(b) Gains and losses from the fluctuation in the fair value of the residual accrue to the
lessee.
Any gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of the investment
property is included in the profit or loss of Tyger Properties Ltd. No rent
rebate, equalling fair value increases, is available at the end of the lease. (1)

(c) The lessee has the ability to continue the lease for a secondary period at a rent that
is substantially lower than market rent.
The lease payment for the period relating to the option to extend the lease term is
subject to an increase. This suggests that the lease payments made during the
renewal period would not be at rates lower than market rate. (2)

CONCLUSION

From the above it can be concluded that at inception of the lease, all risks and rewards
substantially incidental to ownership of the building did not transfer to Washi-Washi Ltd.
(1)
Therefore, the lease agreement with Washi-Washi Ltd is incorrectly classified as finance lease
and should be classified as an operating lease. (1)
As indicated in IFRS16.66 the lease classification is made at the inception date and is
reassessed only if there is a lease modification.
Only once the lease has been modified (on 15 March 20.18), Tyger Properties can reassess
the lease classification. (1)
Although there was a modification it was only negotiated at 15 March 20.18 which is after
reporting date, but still before the date the financial statements were authorised for
issue. (1)
This is a non-adjusting event after reporting date which will not change the classification of
the lease in the financial statements for the year ended 28 February 20.18. (1)

The right-of-use asset presents the lease of Building A in the Tygerforum Office Park,
which is being used as an administration building (IFRS16.59(a)). (1)

The initial lease term of the building amounted to one year, however the company
decided on 1 September 20.17 to exercise an option, contained in the original lease
agreement, to extend the lease term with six months (IFRS16.59(b)(ii) & B50). (1)

The total cash outflow relating to leases amounted to R1 819 000 (R1 785 000 +
R34 000) for the current financial year (IFRS 16.53(g)). (1½)

The company elected to apply the cost model to recognise the right-of-use asset. (½)

The lease agreement consists of both fixed and variable lease payments. Therefore,
the reported information is sensitive to future variable lease payments. According to
the terms of the lessor, the lease payments are subject to a bi-annual increase of 10%
(R935 000 – R850 000)/R850 000) per year. Other variability in the lease payments
that are not reflected in the right-of-use asset is an annual payment amounting to 2%
of the audited profit for the year amounting to R34 000 (IFRS16.B48(a)(iii) & B49)
(IFRS 16.53(e)). (2½)

The lease agreement contains an option to early terminate the lease agreement. A
penalty of R20 000 will be payable on the date of early termination. The company does
not intend to exercise this early termination option (IFRS16.59(b)(ii) & B50). (1)

18. Events after Reporting Date


The board of directors decided on 15 March 20.18 to amend the lease contract for
Building A to include an option to purchase the building at the end of the lease term,
which they intend to exercise on 31 August 20.18, when the lease term expires. The
building will be purchased at the fair value of the building on that date. At the date the
decision was taken this value was estimated at R11 600 000. (2)

QUESTION 2 – Suggested solution

(a) (i) Concerns the note disclosure presented for the income tax expense and
deferred tax balance at 30 June 20.18.

Income tax expense note:

1. Since the major components of the tax expense have to be disclosed


separately (IAS 12.79) and any adjustments recognised in the current
period for tax of prior periods is a component of the expense
(IAS 12.80(b)), Dubaico should have disclosed the under provision of
R80 500 for current tax of prior periods as a separate component. (2)

2. Dubaico should have disclosed the relationship between the tax expense
and the accounting profit in either or both:

(a) a numerical reconciliation between tax expense and the product of


accounting profit multiplied by the applicable tax rate
(IAS 12.81(c)(i)); or

(b) a numerical reconciliation between the average effective tax rate and
the applicable tax rate (IAS 12.81(c)(ii)). (2)

Deferred tax balance note:

1. In respect of each type of temporary difference Dubaico should have


separately disclosed the amount of the deferred tax recognised in the
statement of financial position and should not have disclosed the
temporary differences grouped by assets and liabilities (IAS 12.81(g)). (2)

2. Dubaico should have disclosed the amount of the unused tax losses
amounting to R2 760 000 (772 800 x 100/28), for which no deferred tax
asset is recognised (IAS 12.81(e)). (2)

3. Dubaico should have disclosed the amount of the deferred tax asset which
arose from an assessed loss, and the nature of the evidence supporting its
recognition, since the utilisation of the deferred tax asset is dependent on
future taxable profits in excess of the profits arising from the reversal of
existing taxable temporary differences (IAS 12.82).

(b) Discuss the amount at which the office building should be recognised
(measured) at, at initial recognition

Elmar holds the office building with the intention to earn rentals and should
therefore classify the building as an investment property even though the
building is still vacant at the financial year end (IAS 40.5 and 40.8(d)). (2)

Since Elmar owns the investment property it shall be measured initially at its
cost (IAS 40.20), which includes any transaction cost (IAS 40.20) and directly
attributable expenditure (IAS 40.21). (1)

Elmar will therefore include the total amount payable amounting to R4 200 000
in the initial cost of the investment property as it comprises the purchase price (1)
(cash price).
It can be argued that the legal fees to draw up the purchase agreement are
directly attributable to bringing the office building to the location and condition
necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by
management or that the legal fees relates to the purchase of the office building
and should thus form part of the initial amount. (1)

The 30% legal fees that will be reimbursed by the seller will not be included in
the initial recognition amount since it is not expenditure incurred by Elmar. (1)

It can be argued that the property transfer duty of R1 850 000 are directly
attributable to bringing the office building to the location and condition necessary
for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management or that
property transfer duties are directly attributable expenditure in terms of
IAS 40.21. (1)

Since the cost of an investment property is not increased by operating losses


incurred before the investment property achieves the planned level of
occupancy. Elmar will not increase the cost of the office building with the
operating losses incurred amounting to R104 500 (IAS 40.23(b)). (1)

Therefore the office building should initially be measured at R6 084 500


(R4 200 000 + R34 500 + R1 850 000). (1)

(c) Discuss the levels of fair value hierarchy in terms of IFR13 Fair Value
Measurements

20.14 year

During the 20.14 financial year, the shares of Rock Ltd were not listed on a
formal stock exchange, but were traded over the counter (OTC). It appears that
observable pricing information was available based on recent OTC trades (OTC (1)
market).

Although observable, the OTC market would not constitute a ‘quoted’ price since
it is not listed on an exchange and therefore does not present unadjusted prices
in an active market for identical assets which Rock Ltd can access at the
financial year end (Level 1). The OTC observable price would constitute a
level 2 input in the fair value hierarchy, since it does not constitute a Level 1
input but is directly observable for the shares (IFRS 13.81). (2)

20.15 and 20.16 year

During these two years, after the Financial Services Board’s (FSB) ruling, the
shares of Rock Ltd were no longer tradeable, and Baron Ltd resultantly valued
its investment in Rock Ltd by using a price-earnings (PE) valuation method
(income approach). Since there was no market based measurements available
to obtain a share price. (2)

Although the information states that this approach typically involves using the
PE- ratio of similar listed companies, which are observable, significant
unobservable risk adjustments are made to adjust the PE-ratio for the purposes
of the valuation, categorising this input a Level 3 input in the fair value hierarchy,
since relevant observable inputs are not available (IAS 13.87). (12

The audited earnings of Rock Ltd is the other significant input into the valuation
model, which one would assume is observable (historic audited earnings)
(Level 2). (1)

Since the inputs used to measure the fair value of the shares are categorised
within different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the fair value measurement has
to be categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as
the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement (IFRS 13.73). (1)

Therefore 20.15 and 20.16 year would constitute a level 3 in the hierarchy.
(1)

20.17 year

Rock Ltd listed on the ZAR X Ltd exchange during 20.17, which would constitute
a ‘quoted price’, since it is traded in an active market for identical shares where
transactions for the shares take place with sufficient frequency and volume to
provide pricing information on a ongoing basis (IFRS 13 Appendix A). (2)

MJM
60 FAC4863/107
NFA4863/107
ZFA4863/107

There were 40 trades in the past 60 days which indicate that frequent trading
does occur enough to meet the requirements of an/to be defined as an active
market. (1)

The price of R5,95 do not require any adjustment, since the share traded at
R5,95 on 31 December 20.17. (1)

The 20.17 year would therefor constitute a level 1 in the hierarchy due to it be an
unadjusted quoted price in an active market. (1)

IGNORE ANY VALUE ADDED TAX

Entsha Ltd (Entsha) is a company that develops and implements commercialisation strategies for
new ideas and research. Entsha is listed on the AltX board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange
(JSE). The AltX is an alternative public equity exchange for small, medium-sized and growing
companies in South Africa, operated in parallel with and wholly owned by the JSE Limited. Entsha
has a 30 June financial year end and the presentational and functional currency of Entsha is South
African rand.

1. Loan from Best Bank

Due to the shortage of accommodation of students in South Africa, Entsha invested in


properties close to various South African universities. These properties include houses and
residential apartments. The properties are rented exclusively to university students.

On 1 July 20.17, Entsha partially funded the purchases of some properties by obtaining a loan
of R10 000 000 in an active market from Best Bank. Entsha incurred a loan raising fee in
respect of the Best Bank loan of R80 000. The capital of the loan is repayable after 10 years
on 30 June 20.27 or at any time before when funds might be available. The directors of Entsha
were desperate to obtain the loan quickly and therefore were willing to agree to a higher fixed
interest rate of 10% per annum. The interest is payable annually at the end of June each year.
On 1 July 20.17, the present value of the cash flows (excluding transaction costs) and the fair
value of the loan was R10 313 940.

On 1 July 20.17, the internal rate of return of Enstha on the loan was estimated to be 9,5%. On
1 July 20.17, the instrument specific component of the internal rate of return of this specific
loan was 1,5%. On 30 June 20.18, the prime interest rate, as established by the National
Bank, was 8,25%. The prime interest rate is the observable (benchmark) interest rate used by
Entsha. The fair value of the loan based on market prices on 30 June 20.18 was R9 857 445.

The purpose of the loan is to fund investment property, which is subsequently measured at fair
value, the directors of Entsha therefore correctly decided that the loan should also be classified
as subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss to ensure measurement
inconsistencies are eliminated. Entsha does not separate interest from fair value adjustments
on liabilities for recording or presentation purposes. Below is an extract of the general ledger of
Entsha:

2. Drone Africa

Entsha recognised the growth potential in unmanned aircrafts (drones) in the South African
commercial market. Entsha developed two types of drones.

Drone model Special features Uses

Ntsu Can reach altitude of 600 Useful in high-risk zones and

definition cameras.

The Osita drones are used in both the Kruger and Mapungupwe National Parks in South
Africa. In order to supply technical advice to the users of the Osita drones and to perform
maintenance on the drones, Entsha purchased and erected brand new prefabricated modular
offices in both national parks. The prefabricated modular offices were purchased from
QuickSpace Ltd (QuickSpace). The expected useful life of a brand new prefabricated modular
office is five years, after which the intention is to sell the prefabricated modular offices as scrap
material for a negligible amount. The information below, relating to the prefabricated modular
offices, were correctly compiled by the financial manager of Entsha for the year ended
30 June 20.17:

Acquisition Quantity Location Total cost Total carrying Impairment


date at amount until

1 July 20.16 12 Kruger ? 768 000 None

The National Department of Health (NDH) is in the process of establishing 24-hour-manned


clinics throughout South Africa. The NDH will use prefabricated modular offices for the
24-hour-manned clinics. Entsha entered into a contract with the NDH on 1 June 20.18,
whereby:

• NDH undertook to purchase all the prefabricated modular offices when they are three years -
old at their fair value; and
• Costs to transport the prefabricated modular offices for sale to the NDH regional office in
Limpopo would be borne by Entsha.

During 20.18, the NDH purchased three-year-old prefabricated modular offices similar to the
ones used by Entsha, from the rental fleet of QuickSpace, at an average market related price
of R35 000 each. Entsha estimates that it would cost approximately R3 000 to transport each
of the prefabricated modular offices to the NDH regional office in Limpopo at current transport
prices. There is no principal market for prefabricated modular offices, but the sale to NDH is
considered to be the most advantageous market. Entsha’s management expects the fair value
of the prefabricated modular offices utilised in the Kruger National Park to be R40 000 each on
30 June 20.19.

Assume that, due to the agreement with NDH on 1 June 20.18, the three prefabricated
modular offices in the Mapungupwe National Park meet the classification criteria as assets
held for sale in terms of IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale. On 1 June 20.18 and
30 June 20.18 the fair value (selling price to market participants) of these prefabricated
modular offices amounted to R37 000 and R38 000 respectively. Entsha performs impairment

testing in terms of IAS 36 Impairment of Assets before assets are classified as held for sale in
terms of IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale. Assume the fair value less costs of disposal
is the recoverable amount of the modular offices in terms of IAS 36. The 12 prefabricated
modular offices in the Kruger National Park will only be available for immediate sale in terms of
IFRS 5 on 30 June 20.19.

Any changes to the estimates that relate to the consumption of future economic benefits
embodied in a depreciable asset affects the depreciation expense of the current year.
Therefore, Entsha uses the latest estimated residual value and useful life of the modular
offices to calculate the depreciation expense for the current year, irrespective of when the
change occurred. The South African Revenue Service (SARS) has always allowed for a 20%
deduction per year on modular offices, not apportioned for part of a year.

3. Drone maintenance and repair kits

An Entsha drone maintenance and repair kit contains all the tools required to repair a drone
that is used for recreational purposes. A zipper case enables convenient organisation of all
these tools. Entsha obtained information at no cost from repair manuals available on the iFixit
website, which was used to design the maintenance and repair kits. The tools are imported
from Germany and the zipper case is manufactured by Entsha. On 15 August 20.15 Entsha
purchased a machine at a cost of R450 000. The machine is used to manufacture the heavy
duty zipper that is used in the zipper case. The machine was installed at a cost of R30 000 and
was available for use as intended by management on 1 September 20.15. The residual value
is negligible and the estimated useful life of the machine is four years. The R30 000 installation
cost was expensed as other expenses in the profit or loss of Entsha for the year ended
30 June 20.16.

During the 20.18 financial year a recently appointed accountant noticed that the initial
measurement of the machine did not include the installation costs. The accountant informed
the SARS of the error and the SARS indicated that the prior years’ assessments will not be re-
opened, but that they will allow the cumulative correction thereof in the 20.18 assessment,
without any penalties or interest. The SARS allowed a section 12C capital allowance on the
machine which is a 40% deduction in the first year and 20% deduction in the second, third and
fourth year, which is not apportioned for part of a year.

4. Ubtutor Ltd

Entsha acquired a 70%-controlling interest of Ubtutor Ltd (Ubtutor), a company that provides
the services of mathematics and accounting tutors in South Africa. The consideration paid at
acquisition date for this interest was R4 700 000. At the time of the acquisition the net asset
value of Ubtutor amounted to R5 200 000. The net asset value was deemed to be the fair
value of the net assets, except for buildings that was undervalued by R400 000. The non-
controlling interest was measured at the proportionate share of the company’s net assets at
acquisition date. Ubtutor applies the cost model in terms of IAS 16 Property, Plant and
Equipment.

During the 20.18 financial year Entsha noted that the demand for private tutors declined
significantly due to the availability of free maths and accounting lectures broadcasts on
national television as well as various other initiatives launched by the Skills Education Training
Authorities in South Africa. Refer to the table below for the net asset value in the separate
financial statements of Ubtutor and the recoverable amount of the company itself.

Net asset value in the separate financial statements of Ubtutor 5 900 000
Recoverable amount of Ubtutor determined by Entsha 5 600 000

The company as a whole is a cash generating unit. It is therefore not possible to allocate the
goodwill to a smaller cash generating unit within the company. No impairment losses have
been recorded since acquisition date.

5. Written put option

Dr Sibisi is one of the founding members of Entsha and still owns shares in the company. On
1 April 20.18, Entsha entered into the following agreement with Dr Sibisi:

• Dr Sibisi can decide to sell 10 000 of Entsha shares back to Entsha on 30 March 20.19
at R25 per share (gross physical settlement);
• Dr Sibisi will decide on and exercise his choice on 30 March 20.19; and
• On 1 April 20.18, Dr Sibisi will pay a premium of R10 000 on the option contract.

On 1 April 20.18, the present value of the R250 000 (R25 x 10 000) obligation is R227 273. An
appropriate discount rate for the period 1 April 20.18 to 30 June 20.18 amounted to 10% per
annum.

Additional information

1. Entsha issued 100 000 R10 cumulative preference shares on 1 January 20.18 which are
convertible on 31 December 20.22 into a number of ordinary shares. The number of ordinary
shares are determined by the issue price plus a 20% premium thereon divided by the share
price on 31 December 20.22. The fair value of the preference shares on 1 January 20.18 was
R1 000 000. The dividend rate is 6% per annum, whilst similar preference shares without
conversion rights currently earn a market related dividend at a rate of 8% per annum. All
unpaid preference dividends are accumulated for future declarations or until conversion date.
Except for the entry in respect of the proceeds received on issue of the preferences shares, no
other entries were recorded in respect of these preference shares.

2. On 1 July 20.17, Entsha issued 1 000 10% debentures with a face value of R1 000 each at a
discount of 5%. The debentures carry interest at 10% per annum which is payable annually on
30 June. On 30 June 20.21, the debentures will be converted at the option of the debenture
holders into ordinary shares in the ratio of ten ordinary shares for each debenture. A fair rate of
return on similar debentures without conversion rights amounted to 12% on issue date and
12,5% on 30 June 20.18. The transaction costs amounted to R5 000 and was debited against
the debenture account, while the interest that was paid on 30 June 20.18 was debited against
the interest expense. Except for the entries in respect of the proceeds on issue, interest paid
and transaction cost, no other entries were recorded in respect of these debentures.

3. On 1 January 20.17, Entsha purchased 10 000 ordinary shares in a USA company at US$14
per share. Entsha irrevocably elected at initial recognition to classify this investment as at fair
value through other comprehensive income. The market price of the shares on 30 June 20.17
and 30 June 20.18 amounted to US$16 and US$19 respectively. On 30 June 20.18, the
shares were sold at fair value for cash. It is the accounting policy of Entsha not to present
foreign exchange differences and fair value adjustments separately. The following table
represents the appropriate rand/dollar exchange rates.

Subject: IFRS 9 Loss allowance
Date: 2 July 20.18

Hi Thabo, I hope you are well?

See below my understanding of loss allowances relating to financial assets:

Allowance for expected credit losses

Expected credit losses on all classes of financial assets will always be recorded/presented in
an allowance account presented in other comprehensive income (OCI), i.e. Dr/Cr Expected
credit losses (P/L) and Cr/Dr Loss allowance (OCI), depending on whether there is an increase
or decrease in the expected credit losses.

Trade receivables

Can I always use the ‘simplified approach’ in calculating the loss allowance associated with
trade receivables? I.e. I only have to recognise the 12-month expected credit losses in profit or
loss (‘P/L’), regardless if there is no to little credit risk, a significant increase in credit risk or if
there is observable evidence of credit risk.

Do you agree with my understanding?

Kind regards

Tsiego M

payment))

(b) Residual value

According to IAS 16.6 the definition of a residual value of an asset is the estimated
amount that an entity would currently obtain from disposal of the asset after deducting
the estimated costs of disposal, if the asset was already at the age and in the condition
expected at the end of its useful life. Therefore, the current estimated amount were
made. (½)
Before the NDH contract the prefabricated modular offices would have been used for
five years and then sold as scrap metal for a negligible amount, implying the
prefabricated modular offices had a residual value of zero. (1)
However, on 1 June 20.18, the intention changes from use until almost worth nothing
to a mixed intention of use for three years and then sell at its fair value at that date. (1)
Therefore, the NDH contract will give rise to a residual value. (½)
The residual value need to be the estimated market value of a three-year-old
prefabricated modular office currently (20.18). During 20.18 NDH purchased similar
three-year-old prefabricated modular offices for an average market related price of
R35 000. Therefore, the current amount that Entsha will be able to obtain from the
disposal of similar a three-year-old prefabricated modular office (in the condition
expected at end of its useful life) amounts to R35 000. (2)
The estimated cost of disposal is the transport cost amounting to R3 000, that Entsha
will incur when the modular offices are transported to the regional office in Limpopo. (1)
Therefore the residual value amounts to R32 000 (R35 000 – R3 000) for each of the
prefabricated modular offices. (1)

Date: 30 July 20.18

Dear Tsiego

Please see below my comments relating to IFRS 9 loss allowances.

In terms of IFRS 9 defined terms


A credit loss is the difference between all contractual cash flows that are due to an
entity in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the entity expects to
receive (i.e. all cash shortfalls), discounted at the original effective interest rate.
Expected credit losses are the weighted average of credit losses with the respective
risks or default occurring as the weights.
The loss allowance is the allowance for the expected credit losses on certain financial
assets (measured at amortised cost, lease receivables and contract assets etc).
Allowance for expected credit losses
I therefore disagree with the statement that a loss allowance applies to all financial
assets. Because the movements in the fair value of equity investments designated
at FVtOCI and financial assets classified as FVtP/L will not be recorded in an
allowance account, but recorded directly as a fair value adjustment (P/L or OCI
(mark-to-market reserve), depending on the classification) against the financial (2)
asset.
Furthermore, not all types of financial assets will always require the use of a loss
allowance account.
IFRS 9.5.5.1: Only financial assets classified at amortised cost, 'mandatory'
FVtOCI, lease receivables, contract assets, loan commitments and financial
guarantee contracts (with specific impairment requirements) will require the
possible use of an allowance account. (1)
If the use of an allowance account is applicable, the classification of the financial
asset will determine the presentation of the associated allowance. I therefore disagree
with the statement that a loss allowance account is always presented in OCI. (1)
The allowance account to record credit losses of financial assets classified at
amortised cost, will be presented in the SFP, and not OCI. (1)

NFA4863/107
ZFA4863/107

IFRS9.5.5.2: Credit losses of financial assets classified at 'mandatory' FVtOCI will


however be recorded in an OCI allowance account like you suggest in your email
and not reduce the carrying amount in the SFP. (1)
An entity shall directly reduce the gross carrying amount of a financial asset
when the entity has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its
entirety or a portion thereof. This is referred to as a “write-off”, i.e. it is not an
allowance for expected credit losses, but a loss on actual irrecoverability (i.e. it is
actual bad debts, not a “provision” for bad debts). (1)
I agree that the movement (up or down) in the expected credit losses is recognised
in P/L (dr) or reversal thereof (cr)). (1)
Trade receivables:
In terms of IFRS 9.5.5.15 an entity shall always measure the loss allowance at the
amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables that do not
contain a significant financing component.
For trade receivables that do contain a significant financing component the entity can
choose as its accounting policy to measure the loss allowance at the amount equal to
lifetime expected credit losses. An entity may select its accounting policy for trade
recievables, lease receivables and contract assets independently from each other.
Therefore, the simplified approach can only be used if the trade receivables do not
contain a significant financing component or if the entity chose the simplified approach
as an accounting policy for trade receivables that contain a significant financing
component. (1)
However, the simplified approach requires the credit loss allowance account for such
receivables to be measured at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses and
not 12-month expected credit losses as you suggest. (1)
I therefore agree that for trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing
component or where the entity chose the simplified approach for trade receivables
that contain a significant financing component, the loss allowance should always be
measured at initial recognition and throughout the life of the receivable using the (1)
'simplified approach', but for trade receivables that contain a significant financing
component where the entity did not choose the simplified approach the loss allowance
will either be measured at the 12-month or lifetime expected credit losses depending
on the increase of credit risk at reporting date or. (1)

QUESTION 1 52 marks

IGNORE ANY VALUE ADDED TAX IMPLICATIONS

CurWool Ltd (CurWool) is a leader in the South African textile industry. CurWool has a 30 June
financial year end and is currently in the process of finalising its annual financial statements for the
year ended 30 June 20.17. The following matters must still be accounted for by CurWool’s newly
appointed financial accountant:

1. Lease – Cotton machine

The financial manager entered into a lease agreement with Technology Ltd to lease a two-in-
one cotton-cleaning-and-drying machine, for CurWool’s cotton division.

The lease commenced on 1 July 20.15 for a period of seven years and the lease agreement
does not make provision for any option to extend the lease term. The annual lease payment
amounts to R127 000 and is payable at the beginning of each annual lease period, with the
first payment payable on 1 July 20.15. The lease payments are linked to the consumer price
index (CPI) for durable goods. In terms of the lease agreement, the lease payments will be
adjusted every two years, based on the movement in the “CPI for durable goods” index for the
24 months preceding the date of change.

The rate implicit in the lease could not readily be determined. Assume that the “CPI for durable
goods” index and the lessee’s incremental borrowing rates are:

CPI for durable goods Incremental borrowing rate

1 July 20.15 96 8,0%


1 July 20.16 103 8,6%
1 July 20.17 106 9,2%

The legal fees incurred by CurWool in finalising the lease agreement amounted to R10 300
and were paid on 1 July 20.15.

The cotton machine is not a low value asset. CurWool elected to account for its
right-of-use assets (leased machinery) according to the cost model in terms of IAS 16
Property, Plant and Equipment. This asset is depreciated on the straight-line method over the
useful life of the asset. The right-of-use asset’s (leased machinery) expected useful life was
determined at 10 years at initial recognition.

2. Disposal group

Due to an unexpected decrease in the selling price of silk products, the board of directors of
CurWool approved a decision at a board meeting held on 30 October 20.16 to dispose certain
assets from the silk division, as a disposal group. The disposal group contains machinery, a
vehicle, investment property and inventory. On 30 November 20.16, all the requirements for
the disposal group to be classified as held for sale in terms of IFRS 5 Non-Current Assets Held
for Sale and Discontinued Operations were met. It is expected that the disposal group will be
sold for cash and that the disposal will be completed by the end of August 20.17.

MJM
77 FAC4863/107
NFA4863/107
ZFA4863/107

2.1 Machinery

The machinery included in the disposal group was acquired on 1 July 20.14. On this
date, the useful life of the machinery was estimated at eight years with a residual value
of Rnil.

The machinery is subsequently measured according to the cost model in terms of IAS 16
Property, Plant and Equipment. Depreciation is calculated on the straight-line method
over the machinery’s useful life. An impairment loss with regard to this machinery, has
correctly been accounted for in terms of IAS 36 Impairment of Assets on 30 June 20.15.
The impairment loss amounted to R350 000. On 1 July 20.16 the carrying amount of the
machinery amounted to R2 875 000.

2.2 Vehicle

The vehicle was acquired on 1 July 20.15 at a purchase price of R148 600. On this date
it was estimated that the vehicle will be sold for R35 000 at the end of its estimated
useful life of five years. The vehicle is subsequently measured according to the cost
model in terms of IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and is depreciated on the
straight-line method, over the estimated useful life thereof.

2.3 Investment property

The investment property was acquired on 30 April 20.10 at a purchase price of


R9 580 000 and had an estimated useful life of 20 years on this date. Investment
property is measured according to the fair value model in terms of IAS 40 Investment
Property. Its respective fair values can be summarised as follow:

Date Fair value


R

30 June 20.16 11 680 000


30 November 20.16 12 100 500
30 June 20.17 12 375 000

2.4 Inventory

Inventory is accounted for at the lower of cost and net realisable value, in terms of
IAS 2 Inventories. The cost price of the inventory relating to the disposal group, that was
on hand at 30 November 20.16, amounted to R80 100. None of this inventory was sold
between 30 November 20.16 and 30 June 20.17. The net realisable value of the
inventory on hand was as follows:

Date Net realisable value


R

30 November 20.16 58 650


30 June 20.17 62 300

MJM
78 FAC4863/107
NFA4863/107
ZFA4863/107

2.5 General

It is the policy of CurWool to perform its annual impairment testing, in terms of lAS 36
Impairment of Assets, on the last day of the relevant financial year. On
30 November 20.16, there was no indication of any impairment regarding any of the
individual assets within the disposal group.

The fair value of the disposal group amounted to R14 300 000 and R16 500 000 on
30 November 20.16 and 30 June 20.17 respectively. The estimated commission and
other costs to sell the disposal group amounted to R635 000.

The gain or loss recognised in terms of paragraphs 20-22 of IFRS 5 Non-Current Assets
Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, is not separately presented in the statement
of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

3. Repurchase of equity instruments

CurWool has 500 000 ordinary shares in issue, of which 5% are owned by the Employee
Ownership Fund (EOF). All the shares were issued at incorporation of the company, at R11,00
per share. CurWool decided to repurchase all of the shares that were owned by the EOF at
R11,70 per share, on 30 June 20.17. The fair value of the shares on the repurchase date
amounted to R11,30 per share. This transaction is an IFRS 2 Share based payment
transaction.

4. Share appreciation rights

CurWool issued 100 000 unconditional share appreciation rights (SARs) that vested
immediately, to its executive management on 1 July 20.15. At that date it was estimated, with
the use of an option pricing model, that the fair value of the SARs was R15 per SAR. The
members of executive management are entitled to exercise the SARs at any time until
30 June 20.18, at which date it has to be exercised. No SARs were exercised by
30 June 20.17. The fair value of the SARs increased over time and amounted to R15,40 per
SAR and R16,70 per SAR on 30 June 20.16 and 30 June 20.17 respectively.

The new financial accountant realised, while he was reviewing the opening balances of the
current year financial statements, that the previous financial accountant overlooked the SAR
transaction and that it was never accounted for in the accounting records of CurWool.

5. Additional information

The profit before tax, before taking the above mentioned transactions into account, amounted
to R7 800 000 for the year ended 30 June 20.17. The closing balance of retained earnings as
disclosed in the 30 June 20.16 authorised annual financial statements, amounted to
R13 000 000. Assume there is no other comprehensive income for the current year, except as
indicated in the given information.

The normal income tax rate is 28% and the capital gains tax (CGT) inclusion rate is 80%. A tax
expert correctly calculated the tax expense for the 20.17 financial year at R2 264 964. This tax
expense was calculated after the above mentioned transactions were taken into account.

The directors of CurWool decided to early adopt the latest versions of International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS).

QUESTION 2 27 marks

IGNORE ANY VALUE ADDED TAXATION, DIVIDEND TAXATION AND NORMAL INCOME
TAXATION IMPLICATIONS

Cloud Airlines Ltd (Cloud) began its operations in 20.4. Cloud is a specialist in airlift services. The
company provides cargo transport, leasing of aircraft and passenger airline services. The company
has a 30 June financial year end. The financial manager is in the process of reviewing the first draft
of the financial statements of Cloud for the year ended 30 June 20.17. The senior financial
accountant brought a number of outstanding financial reporting matters to the financial manager’s
attention that was not included in the first draft of the financial statements. The financial manager
provided you with an extract of these outstanding matters in order for you to assist them with the
finalisation of the financial statements of Cloud for the year ended 30 June 20.17:

1. Purchase of a new passenger airplane (XXY800-12)

On 1 June 20.16 Cloud signed a contract with the United States (U.S.) airplane manufacturer,
Wings Ltd, to purchase a new passenger airplane (XXY800-12) at a total amount of
$2 200 000 (U.S. dollar), payable in cash on delivery date. The airplane was delivered to Cloud
on 1 February 20.17 and was ready for its intended use on this date. Control of the airplane
passed to Cloud Airlines on delivery date. The airplane is depreciated on a straight-line basis
over the asset’s useful life of 25 years. The residual value of the plane is estimated at
R2 500 000. On 30 June 20.17 the residual value and useful life remained unchanged.

Date Spot rate


$1 = R

1 June 20.16 13,03


30 June 20.16 13,55
1 February 20.17 12,88

Cloud obtained a loan of R33 000 000 from Aviation Bank Ltd on 1 May 20.16 to finance the
anticipated purchase of the airplane. The loan is obtained at a variable interest rate of JIBAR
plus 2% per annum. Interest on the loan is payable annually on 30 April. The loan capital is
repayable in five equal annual instalments commencing on 30 April 20.17. In terms of the loan
agreement the JIBAR is pre-fixed and post-paid, meaning that the variable interest will be fixed
for each 12-month period at the beginning of that 12-month period (i.e. on 1 May) and interest
will be paid at the end thereof.

MJM
80 FAC4863/107

ZFA4863/107

The following information was provided to you by the financial manager:

JIBAR
(per annum)
1 May 2016 7,80%
1 July 2016 8,00%
30 April 2017/1 May 2017 9,30%
30 June 2017 10,00%

2. Damaged passenger airplane (BOO512-500)

On 30 June 20.16, a passenger airplane (BOO512-500) of Cloud was severely damaged as a


result of a bird strike during take-off. The airplane was out of service for eight months due to
repairs that had to be done to the structure of the airplane. In view of this, it was expected that
the net cash inflows generated by the passenger airplane would decline to R1 263 752,85 per
annum for the remainder of its useful life. You may assume for calculation purposes that the
cash inflows will take place at the end of each year. Auctioneers indicated that they could sell
the airplane on 30 June 20.16 at a price of R14 800 000 before deducting the auctioneer’s fee
of 4% on the selling price. An applicable pre-tax discount rate for Cloud is 8% per annum.

Cloud acquired the passenger airplane (BOO512-500) on 1 July 20.10 at a cost of


R26 570 000. The estimated useful life of the airplane was determined as 25 years on
purchasing date. The estimated future, cash inflow to be derived from the passenger airplanes
ultimate disposal amounts to R2 000 000.

The recoverable amount for the airplane is re-estimated as R14 120 000 on 30 June 20.17.
The residual value and useful life remained unchanged since initial recognition of the airplane.

3. Investment in bonds

On 1 July 20.15, Cloud purchased listed corporate bonds at their fair value. The corporate
bonds will be held within a business model with the objective to collect contractual cash flows
of interest and the principal amount and to sell the bonds. The bonds mature on 30 June 20.18
at their face value of R2 520 000. The bonds pay interest at a coupon rate of 11% per annum,
payable annually on 30 June. The market-related interest rate for similar listed corporate
bonds on 1 July 20.15 was 12,50% per annum.

On 1 May 20.16, the management of Cloud changed its business model for managing its
investment in listed bonds. From 1 May 20.16 the listed corporate bonds will be managed
within a business model with the objective to collect contractual cash flows of interest and the
principal amount. The market-related interest rate for similar listed corporate bonds on
1 May 20.16 and 30 June 20.16 was 14,50% and 14,40% per annum respectively.The fair
value of the change was correctly calculated by the accountant on 30 June 20.16 to be
R2 379 637. Cloud provided you with the following schedule relating to the bonds:

Date Estimated lifetime expected


credit losses (discounted
value) Credit risk assessment
R

30 June 20.16 17 200 Low credit risk


30 June 20.17 21 400 Low credit risk
30 June 20.18 30 200 Low credit risk

MJM
81 FAC4863/107
NFA4863/107
ZFA4863/107

On 30 June 20.16, Cloud determined that the probability that the issuer will default within the
next 12 months after reporting date is 2,50%. The probability of default remained unchanged
for the entire duration of the contract term of the corporate bonds. All contractual cash flows as
agreed to in the bond agreement were received on 30 June 20.16 and 30 June 20.17.

4. Expansion of the airline operations

The purchase of the new passenger airplane required Cloud to expand its current airline
operations. In order to finance the expansion, Cloud issued 1 235 000 9% cumulative
compulsory convertible preference shares on 1 April 20.17 at a discount of 5% on the nominal
value, collecting proceeds totalling R4 940 000. The preference shares are convertible on
31 March 20.19 into two ordinary shares for every preference share held. The cumulative
preference dividend payable on 31 May 20.17 remains unpaid. The market-interest rate for
similar preference shares without conversion rights is 10% per annum.

Additional information

• The profit before tax for the financial years ended 30 June 20.16 and 30 June 20.17, before
the above transactions were taken into account, amounted to R8 860 000 and R10 350 000
respectively.

• Airplanes classified as property, plant and equipment are accounted for in terms of the cost
model of IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and are depreciated over their useful lives on
a straight-line basis taking their residual values into account.

• Cloud early adopted IFRS 9 Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with
Customers.

QUESTION 1 11 marks

IGNORE ANY VALUE ADDED TAXATION AND NORMAL INCOME TAXATION IMPLICATIONS

You recently completed your Certificate in the Theory of Accounting and decided to work at a
local accounting firm during November, as your training contract will only start in January. The
managing partner of the accounting firm noticed your pure talent and love for accounting and
therefore sent you a few queries. These queries are listed below:

Query 1

Simbine Ltd (Simbine) has a 30 September year end. Simbine Ltd purchased 5 000 unlisted bonds
in Wayde Ltd on 1 April 20.17 at R2 450 000. It is the objective of Simbine's business model to
both collect contractual cash flows and sell unlisted bonds. The contractual cashflows are solely
payments of principal and interest. Simbine also had to pay transaction costs amounting to R25 000
on this date. Simbine was able to buy the bonds at a discount due to the excellent negotiation
skills of Simbine's financial manager. The bonds mature on 31 March 20.20 and will be redeemed
at face value. The bonds each have a face value of R500, the coupon interest rate on the bonds is
7% per annum and the coupon payments are paid six-monthly in arrears. The market related
interest rate for similar unlisted bonds is as follows:

Date Rate

1 April 20.17 7,5%


30 September 20.17 8,0%

The bonds were not credit impaired at acquisition date or at any other date thereafter and you may
assume that the expected credit loss reserve related to the bonds amounted to R50 000 on
1 April 20.17. On 30 September 20.17 Simbine estimated that the credit risk of the bonds did not
increase significantly from initial recognition and estimated that the credit loss reserve remained
unchanged. Simbine early adopted IFRS 9 Financial Instruments. Simbine did not designate these
bonds into any specific category in terms of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.

Query 2

Gongqa Ltd (Gongqa) has an April year end. The directors of Gongqa successfully tendered for a
15 year, non-renewable, casino license. The total acquisition cost amounted to R25 000 000 and
the casino license period commenced on 1 June 20.16.

Gongqa intends to operate the casino for only 10 years, after which it will be sold to the highest
bidder. The directors expect to sell the license in 10 years' time for not less than R25 000 000, as
similar casino licenses are not available. The casino license is therefore not amortised. At
1 June 20.16 and 30 April 20.17, Gongqa has no commitment from any third party to acquire
the casino license from them.

Gongqa also incurred R200 000 for the training of staff that will work in the casino. This amount
was capitalised as part of the cost of the casino license, and will be amortised over two years, as
the directors expects additional training will be needed after the two year period.

Maloti Ltd (Maloti) is a company that produces googleberry products. Googleberries are indigenous
only to the Injisuthi region of the Drakensberg and have recently been classified as a superfood due
to their concentrated mineral and nutrient dense characteristics. Googleberries are especially high in
fiber, vitamin C and antioxidants. Maloti is listed on the JSE Limited and has a 30 June financial year
end.

The financial manager of Maloti performed the deferred tax calculations based on the statement of
financial position method. She sent certain deferred tax journal entries to you, the financial director,
with notes, for your review in order to enable her to finalise the financial statements for the year
ended 30 June 20.17:

Maloti purchased vacant land outside Winterton for R1 000 000 on 1 March 20.17. The land is held
for long-term capital appreciation. The fair value of the land amounted to R1 100 000 on
30 June 20.17. The base cost approximates the original cost. Investment property is measured in
accordance with the fair value model in terms of IAS 40 Investment Property.

Maloti leased a machine from Tessi Ltd (Tessi) in terms of a lease agreement on 30 June 20.17. The
cash selling price (excluding Value Added Tax (VAT)) of the machine is R520 000. The machine is
not considered to be a low value asset in terms of IFRS 16 Leases. Three annual lease payments of
R248 977 (including VAT) each are payable in arrears. The interest rate implicit in the lease is 12%
per annum. There are no guaranteed or unguaranteed residual values. No initial direct costs were
incurred by either Maloti or Tessi. Maloti is a registered VAT vendor and uses the machine to
produce taxable supplies. The lease agreement qualifies as an instalment credit agreement in terms
of the VAT Act. Ownership of the machine will not transfer to Maloti at the end of the lease term.
Maloti did not make any other payments to Tessi at the inception of the lease.

Maloti purchased a power bar recipe at a cost of R210 000 on 1 January 20.16. At this date the
useful life was estimated at five years and the residual value immaterial. The correct carrying amount
of the intangible asset amounted to R189 000 on 30 June 20.16. The SARS indicated that they will
not allow capital allowances on the power bar recipe. Maloti uses the power bar recipe to produce
power bars that includes the googleberry juice as one of its ingredients. During the 20.17 financial
year Maloti discovered that the power bar recipe will increase the human nutrient absorption. In light
thereof, the remaining useful life and residual value of the power bar recipe were re-estimated at two
years and R50 000 respectively during the finalisation of the 20.17 financial year. Intangible assets
are measured in accordance with the cost model in terms of IAS 38 Intangible Assets. Depreciation
is provided for on the straight-line method over the asset’s remaining useful life.

During the 20.17 financial year Maloti started their research on an immune enhancing power bar
recipe that will increase the human nutrient absorption of googleberries. Maloti estimates that during
the following two years Maloti will be able to develop and test the shelf life of various googleberry
power bars. Maloti is confident that the first immune enhancing googleberry power bar will be
available to the public in 20.20. The total research costs incurred during the 20.17 financial year
amounted to R720 000. The project was not approved by the Research and Development
Adjudication Committee.

At the 20.16 financial year end Maloti’s directors were uncertain of Maloti’s ability to generate taxable
profits in the nearby future, but during the 20.17 financial year Maloti generated taxable profit and the

Casino license and training costs

The casino license has been awarded for 15 years, Gongqa Ltd only intends to
use the license for 10 years and the license should therefore be amortised over
10 years (IAS 38.94). (1)

• The residual value of an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be
assumed to be zero unless:
- there is a commitment from a third party to purchase the asset at the end of
its useful life. At 1 June 20.16 and 30 April 20.17, Gongqa Ltd has no
commitment from any third party to acquire the casino license from them. (1)

- There is an active market for the asset. Similar casino licenses are not
available, there is no active market for the casino license (IAS 38.100).

incurred (lAS 38.69(b)); or

An entity usually has insufficient control over the expected future economic
benefits arising from training costs to meet the definition of an intangible asset

From: Student
Date: 15 July 20.17
Subject: Comments and concerns relating to deferred tax journal entries for the
year ended 30 June 20.17

Dear Madam
Please find below the concerns and suggested corrections of the inaccuracies noted in your
deferred tax journals and calculations.
Should you have any further queries please contact me on 000.

Regards, STUDENT

Journal 1:
DR & CR of journal:
The fair value increase on land will result in a taxable amount, when the taxable profit for
the period in which the carrying amount of land is recovered and determined. (1)
Therefore deferred tax (SFP) needs to be credited (not debited), since a taxable
temporary difference needs to be accounted for. (1)
Consequently income tax expense (deferred) should be debited (not credited). (½)
P/L vs OCI:
The land is classified as an investment property since it is held for capital appreciation (½)
and is measured in terms of the fair value model in accordance with IAS 40 Investment
Property. (½)
Therefore the fair value adjustments will be recorded in profit or loss (P/L).
The fair value adjustment is recorded in P/L and consequently the deferred tax debit should
also be recorded in P/L (not OCI) (IAS 12.58 & 61A). (1)
Tax rate:
The investment property will be realised through sale, capital gains tax will be liable on any
realised amount above cost (base cost for taxation purposes) of the asset (IAS 12.15(c)). (1)
The applicable capital gains tax rate is an 80% inclusion rate x 28% and not only 80% (1)
(IAS 12.47).
Amount:
Therefore the correct amount to measure the deferred tax liability on land is R22 400
(R100 000 (R1 100 000 – R1 000 000) x 80% x 28%) (1)

Journal 2:
Lease liability
Calculation:
The carrying amount of the lease liability is calculated incorrectly. Maloti did not pay the
claimed VAT over to Tessi Ltd at inception of the lease; therefore, the VAT is being (1)
financed by Maloti and included in the lease payments. Therefore the lease liability will
include the VAT amount R520 000 x 1,15 = R598 000. (1½)
The carrying amount of the lease liability includes VAT that will not be deductible for tax
purposes in the future, because the VAT of R78 000 (520 000 x 15%) has already been
recouped from SARS at inception of the lease (instalment credit agreement). (2)
Therefore the tax base of the lease liability is R78 000 (R598 000 – R520 000) (IAS 12.8). (1)
Consequently the deferred tax calculation was done incorrectly and should be as follows:
R598 000 (carrying amount) – R78 000 (tax base) = R520 000 x 28% = R145 600. (2)

MJM
101 FAC4863/107
NFA4863/107
ZFA4863/107

Journal 3:
Amount:
The carrying amount of the intangible asset at 30 June 20.17 is incorrect, because the
revised residual value was not taken into account to calculate the depreciable amount (IAS (1)
38.8).
The carrying amount of the intangible asset should be
R189 000 – R69 500 (R189 000 – R50 000)/2) = R119 500 (2)
The carrying amount of the asset (R119 500) relates to the balance of the asset at initial
recognition since there was no subsequent remeasurement. Intangible assets are
measured in accordance with the cost model and at the time of the initial transaction,
affects neither the accounting profit nor the taxable profit (tax loss) (IAS 12.15(b)). (1½)
Therefore the temporary difference of R119 500 (R119 500 – RNil) (1)
is exempt and consequently a no deferred tax liability is raised (not R26 460). (1)

Journal 4:
Amount:
The R720 000 research expenditure incurred during the 20.17 financial year is not an
intangible asset and should be expensed (IAS 38.54). (1)
Consequently, there is no temporary difference and no deferred tax should be recognised. (1)

Journal 5:
Amount:
IAS 12.34: A deferred tax asset shall be recognised for the carryforward of unused tax
losses to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against
which the unused tax losses can be used.
Maloti will recognise a deferred tax asset arising from the unused tax loss in 20.17 because
Maloti is certain there will be sufficient taxable profit available in the future (IAS 12.34).
(1)
20.16:
The deferred tax asset relating to the unused tax loss at 30 June 20.16 is limited to the
taxable temporary differences at year end amounting to R50 000 since the directors of
Maluti are uncertain about the ability of Maloti to generate taxable profits in the future.
Therefore the deferred tax asset raised (unused tax loss created) is R50 000 x 28% =
R14 000 (3)

20.17:
The 20.16 assessed loss of R1 200 000 is utilised in 20.17 against the taxable profit of
R850 000, consequently the unused tax loss for 20.17 amounts to R350 000 (R1 200 000
– R850 000). (2½)
The deferred tax asset raised relating to the unused tax loss as at 30 June 20.17 is not
limited to the taxable temporary differences at year end (30 June 20.17) of R300 000
because Maloti is certain of sufficient profit in the future.
Therefore, the total unused tax loss for 20.17 of R350 000 can be raised as an asset. (2½)
The movement of the unused tax loss from the 20.16 to 20.17 financial year that should be
recognised in deferred tax is R84 000 (R98 000 (R350 000 x 28%) – R14 000 (R50 000 x
28%)) (not R98 000). (2½)

QUESTION 1 42 marks

California Footwear Ltd (California) is a leading manufacturer in the shoe industry and consists of a
variety of divisions, with each offering different products. California is listed on the Johannesburg
Stock Exchange (JSE) and it has a 30 June financial year end.

1. Shoe manufacturing division

Amongst the products manufactured by California are shoes. California manufactures two
different shoe ranges, namely the Hunters safety boots (Hunters) and the Manolo Blank point
shoes (Manolo). The production of both shoe ranges, takes place in the shoe manufacturing
division.

The shoe manufacturing division, comprising of a factory building, the Hunters shoe range
(machinery and the Hunters safety boots patent) and the Manolo shoe range (machinery and
the Manolo Blank point shoes patent), were acquired from Nika Ltd on 1 July 20.11. On this
date all of the assets were deemed to be fairly valued. Goodwill of R550 000 arose on the
acquisition as a result of the consideration paid being in excess of the fair values of all the
assets. The acquisition of the shoe manufacturing division constitutes a business in terms of
IFRS 3 Business Combinations.

The factory building, machinery and patents as individual assets cannot generate cash flows
independently. The Hunters shoe range and Manolo shoe range can, however, generate cash
flows independently. The number of Hunters safety boots and Manolo Blank point shoes that
are manufactured changes regularly depending on the demand for the products. As a result
the portion of the factory building devoted to each shoe range can’t be determined and the
total goodwill that arose on acquisition was allocated to the shoe manufacturing division as a
whole.

On 30 June 20.15 the carrying amounts of the non-current assets of the shoe manufacturing
division were as follows:
R
Factory building (refer to note 1.1) 5 190 000
Hunters shoe range (refer to note 1.2)
Machinery 2 250 000
Patent – Hunters safety boots 425 000
Manolo shoe range (refer to note 1.3)
Machinery 1 900 000
Patent – Manolo Blank point shoes 360 000

MJM
103 FAC4863/107

ZFA4863/107

1.1 Factory building

The total cost price of the factory building was determined as R6 300 000 (including
dismantling costs) on 1 July 20.11. On 1 July 20.11 the useful life of the factory building was
estimated at 20 years. Assume that the land on which the factory building is situated is
immaterial. In accordance with legislation, California is obliged to return the site to its original
condition at the end of its useful life.

On 1 July 20.11 it was estimated that the present value of the future costs to dismantle the
factory building at the end of its useful life amounts to R250 000. The factory building can be
sold for scrap metal once dismantled. It is estimated that R750 000 would currently be
obtained from the sale thereof, after the estimated costs of disposal have been deducted, if the
factory building was already of the age and condition as at the end of its useful life. On
1 July 20.11 the pre-tax discount rate used to calculate the present value of the dismantling
costs, compounded annually, was 12% per annum. On 30 June 20.16 the dismantling costs
were re-estimated to amount to R1 447 000 on 30 June 20.31.

1.2 Hunters shoe range

The cost price of the machinery of the Hunters shoe range was determined as R4 500 000 on
1 July 20.11. The useful life was estimated at eight years with a residual value of Rnil.

The Hunters safety boot is manufactured by the Hunters shoe range. The Hunters safety boot
uses the most recent technology to ensure that the boot is durable even when used in
unfavourable conditions and comes with a five-year warranty on the soles of the boots. The
patent for the exclusive rights to manufacture the Hunters safety boot was registered in
California’s name on 1 July 20.11 and the useful live was estimated at eight years with no
residual value.

During June 20.16 a competitor company introduced their new safety boots with more durable
material, using newer technology and with a longer warranty provided on the boots. The
material used in the manufacturing of their boot is also recyclable which contributes to the
increased demand for their product. In order to maintain its market share, California decided to
reduce the selling price of the Hunters safety boots to R450 per pair. The decrease in the
selling price will result in California sustaining a loss and therefore, California decided to
restructure the operations of the Hunters shoe range. The announcement regarding the
restructuring was made on 30 June 20.16 and the main features of the plan were also
communicated to all the parties affected by the restructuring on this date.

On 30 June 20.16 California had a 1 000 pairs of Hunters safety boots on hand at a total cost
of R600 000. On 30 June 20.16 California had a contract in place to sell 500 pairs of the
Hunters safety boots at the contractually agreed upon price of R550 per pair during July 20.16.

Amortisation of the patent (80 000) (80 000) (80 000)
Maintenance costs (50 000) (50 000) (50 000)

The cash flows do not take inflation into account and will occur at the end of each year, except
for the costs to restructure which will occur at the beginning of July 20.16. The fair nominal rate
of return on similar assets was 13% (pre-tax) on 30 June 20.16. The fair real rate of return on
similar assets was 10% (pre-tax) on 30 June 20.16.

1.3 Manolo shoe range

The cost price of the machinery of the Manolo shoe range was determined as R3 800 000 on
1 July 20.11. The useful life was estimated at eight years with a residual value of Rnil.

The Manolo Blank point shoe is manufactured in the Manolo shoe range. The Manolo Blank
point shoe is manufactured with a trademark red sole. The patent for the Manolo Blank point
shoe was registered in California’s name on 1 July 20.11 and the useful live was estimated at
eight years with no residual value.

1.4 Value in use and fair value less costs of disposal

The value in use and fair value less costs of disposal amounted to the following on
30 June 20.16:
Fair value
Value in use less costs of
disposal
R R
Factory building ? 4 000 000

Manolo shoe range 1 950 000 2 100 000
Shoe manufacturing division as a whole 8 150 000 8 253 138

The fair value less costs of disposal of the Hunters and Monolo Shoe range was calculated as
the amount that an independent third party will pay to acquire all the assets of the division.

The fair value of the shoe manufacturing division as a whole was calculated as the amount that
an independent third party will pay to acquire all the assets and liabilities of the division.

QUESTION 2 38 marks

Packman Ltd (Packman) is listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and manufactures various
brick manufacturing machines. The quality and the various range of machines manufactured have
made Packman a leader in the brick manufacturing industry for over 10 years. Packman supplies the
brick manufacturing machines locally and internationally. The company currently employs 1 650
employees at four of its manufacturing plants located in South Africa. The financial accountant of
Packman is in the process of finalising the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 20.16
and requires your assistance with the following transactions:

1. Termination benefits

During the past two years unfavourable market conditions in the economy have had a negative
impact in the construction industry. The industry has taken strain as a result of fewer
construction projects being offered. This is evident by the reduced aggregate market
capitalisation of construction companies. Packman was directly affected by the decrease in
construction activities, which has resulted in significant losses in their revenue. This has led to
the management of Packman implementing cost-reduction initiatives in order to improve
profitability. The directors took a decision on 1 December 20.14 to retrench 365 employees.
On 14 February 20.15 each of these employees were offered a lump-sum payment of
R750 000 on condition that their employment at Packman be terminated on
30 September 20.15. The terms of the offer stated that Packman could not withdraw the offer.

At 30 June 20.15 it was expected that 360 employees would accept the offer. However, on
30 September 20.15 only 350 accepted the offer. The amounts due to these employees were
settled on 15 October 20.15.

2. Share option scheme

Packman implemented the Siyakhula share option scheme. On 1 January 20.14 Packman
granted 3 000 options to each employee to purchase shares at R10 per share subject to the
following two conditions:

1. The share price of Packman increase to R24,50 per share on 31 December 20.15, and
2. The employee remains in service at Packman until 31 December 20.15.

There were 2 000 employees at the time the options were granted. On 1 January 20.14, 95%
of the employees were expected to still be in service on 31 December 20.15. This estimate
was revised to 96% on 30 June 20.14. At 30 June 20.15, the estimate of the number of
employees that will remain in service at Packman until 31 December 20.15 was estimated to
be 82%. This estimate takes into consideration the number of employees that will be
retrenched.

As a result of the decision taken on 1 December 20.14 to retrench 365 employees, the
management of Packman cancelled the share options allocated to 350 employees, who
accepted the termination of employment offer. The remaining 15 employees were not part of
the share option scheme. On 30 September 20.15 the 350 employees were paid R18 000
each as compensation for the loss of their share options.

On 30 November 20.15, the terms of the share-based payment transaction were changed as it
was determined that the share price would not reach R24,50 by 31 December 20.15. The
terms were revised to require that the employees remain in service at Packman until
31 December 20.16 and that the share price reach R18,00 by 31 December 20.16. The overall
modification is beneficial for the employees. The share-based payment expense for 20.16 due
to the modification (taking into account the incremental fair value and the remaining vesting
period) is R14 366 423.

MJM
107 FAC4863/107
NFA4863/107
ZFA4863/107

On 30 November 20.15, it was anticipated that the remaining 1 650 employees would still
be in service on 31 December 20.15. On 30 June 20.16 it was estimated that 98% of the
1 650 employees will still be in service at Packman until 31 December 20.16.

The fair value of the original share options (before modification) was determined as
follows:

1 January 20.14 R5 per option


30 June 20.14 R7,50 per option
30 June 20.15 R4,50 per option
30 September 20.15 R3,50 per option
30 November 20.15 R2 per option

The fair value of the share options at grant date reflects the effects of any market conditions
specified in the terms and conditions of the share options granted.

3. Leave benefits

The employees of Packman are entitled to 20 working days' non-vesting paid annual leave for
each completed year of service. Unused paid annual leave may be carried forward up to a
maximum of eight days. Paid annual leave is first taken from the current year's balance, and
then from the balance carried forward from the previous year (last-in, first-out-basis).

The leave pay accrual amounted to R10 500 000 on 30 June 20.15. The unused leave balance
for the year ended 30 June 20.15 amounted to three days per employee which is carried
forward to the 20.16 financial year. During the 20.16 financial year, 90% of the employees took
13 days paid annual leave and the remaining 10% took 23 days paid annual leave. The 350
employees that were retrenched, left Packman before taking their leave.

The average salary per employee for the year ended 30 June 20.17 will be R250 000. The
total employees in service on 1 July 20.15 were 2 000 employees. It is expected that 3% of the
employees will resign in the 20.17 financial year before taking their leave. The total working
days in a calendar year are 252 days.

4. Lease transaction

On 1 July 20.15 Packman leased a brick laying machine to Dusty Ltd. The details of the
lease were as follows:

Lease term 4 years


Lease payments R250 000
Unguaranteed residual value 50 000
Implicit interest rate 8,7574%
Selling price (same as its fair value) R850 000
Useful life 4 years

The lease payments are payable annually in arrears on 30 June. At the end of the lease
term, the machine will be returned to Packman Ltd.

Total 1 050 000 800 000 200 000

The financial accountant calculated the following balances at 30 June 20.16 using the above
amortisation table:

R
Gross investment in the lease 800 000
Net investment in the lease 674 438
Unearned finance income 125 562

At the end of 30 June 20.16 management revised the initial estimate of the unguaranteed
residual value to R30 000. The financial accountant has not adjusted the accounting records to
account for the new unguaranteed residual value.

COMMENT

In terms of IFRS 16.77 if there has been a reduction in the estimated unguaranteed
residual value, the allocation of the finance income over the lease term must be
revised and any reduction in respect of finance income must be recognised
immediately.

Packman Ltd has revised the unguaranteed residual value from R50 000 to R30 000 and,
therefore, should revise the allocation of finance income over the lease period. The interest
rate implicit in the lease is recalculated as 8% [C7]. (3)

On the date of change, Packman Ltd should recalculate the gross investment in lease
amount (i.e. aggregate of the minimum lease payments and the revised unguaranteed
residual value) as well as the revised net investment in lease (i.e. the present value of the
minimum lease payments and the revised unguaranteed residual value). The difference
between the amounts will indicate the revised unearned finance income amount. (1)

On 30 June 20.16 the recalculated gross investment in the lease is R780 000 (1 030 000
[C7] – 250 000 [C7]) and the net investment in the lease is R668 036 (820 000 [C7] –
181 964 [C7] + 30 000) resulting in the revised unearned finance income amount of
R111 964. (3)

The difference between these revised amounts and the existing amounts would determine
the adjustment that would need to be passed immediately by Packman Ltd. The adjustment
would be as follows:

• The finance income earned will be reduced (debited) during the current year with an
amount of R6 402 (74 438 – 68 036 [C7]). (1½)
• The unearned finance income will be reduced (debited) by the change in its carrying
amount of R13 598 (125 562 – 111 964 [C7]). (1½)
• The gross investment in lease will be reduced (credited) by R20 000 which is the
absolute amount of the unguaranteed residual value foregone. (1)

Ignore any Value Added Taxation (VAT) implications.

Leicester Ltd (Leicester) is a company listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange that provides air
transport services for traveling passengers and freight. The end of the reporting period of Leicester is
30 June 20.16.

1. Passenger aircraft operation

Leicester operates both passenger and freight aircraft. The passenger and freight aircraft are
operated as separate major lines of business, each with its own financial records and
managers.

On 5 July 20.15, a formal decision was taken at a shareholders' meeting of Leicester to


dispose of the passenger aircraft operation in a single transaction. Leicester decided to focus
on the freight aircraft business since it is more profitable. On 5 July 20.15, the financial director
and senior managers commenced with the documentation of a formal detail plan for the
discontinuance of the passenger aircraft operation. A public announcement explaining the
company's plans and actions regarding the passenger aircraft operations was made on
31 August 20.15.

On 1 September 20.15, Totham Ltd (Totham) indicated that they are interested to acquire the
passenger aircraft operations from Leicester. On this date the passenger aircraft operations
complied with all the requirements of IFRS 5 Non-current Assets held for Sale and
Discontinued Operations to be classified as a disposal group. From 1 September 20.15, all
business activities of the passenger aircraft operation will be suspended.

On 1 September 20.15, the fair value less cost to sell of the disposal group amounted to
R14 700 000. The sale transaction with Totham is expected to be finalised on 31 July 20.16, at
which date Totham will take ownership of the disposal group.

On 1 September 20.15, the relevant correct information regarding the assets and liabilities of
the passenger aircraft disposal group of Leicester was as follows:

Accumulated
depreciation Carrying amount
Cost price
on 1 September 20.15
30 June 20.15
R R R
Passenger aircraft 30 000 000 16 500 000 11 750 000
Transport buses 1 800 000 1 260 000 480 000
Investment property
- at fair value 1 200 000 - 2 500 000
Inventory
- (net realisable value on
1 September 2015 R800 000) 720 000 - 720 000
Trade receivables - - 600 000
Trade payables - - (550 000)

Passenger aircraft and transport buses are subsequently measured according to the cost
model. Depreciation is accounted for according to the straight-line method over the useful lives
of the assets.

The passenger aircraft was acquired at a cost of R30 000 000 and available for use for the first
time on 1 July 20.4. The aircraft has a useful life of 20 years with no residual value.

Transport buses (purchased on 1 January 20.12 and was immediately available for use) are
depreciated over five years and have no residual values.

The investment property was acquired on 1 July 20.14 at a fair value of R1 200 000.
Investment property is accounted for according to the fair value model. On 30 June 20.15, the
investment property had a fair value of R1 800 000.

During the final stages of the negotiations with Totham, Leicester decided to withdraw the
transport buses from the disposal group, since Totham was not longer interested in acquiring
the buses. Leicester will be able to utilise the transport buses in the freight aircraft operations.
On 30 November 20.15, the transport buses were officially withdrawn from the disposal group
and from that date it was used to transport employees of the freight aircraft operations. The
remaining assets and liabilities of the disposal group still met the criteria to quality as held for
sale (IFRS 5.6-12).

The recoverable amount of the transport buses amounted to R360 000 on 30 November 2015.

2. Contract with advertising company

Leicester has a legal agreement with an advertising company to advertise their passenger
airline on a bill-board close to the airport.

According to the contract, Leicester will pay R200 000 per month for the duration of the
contract which will expire on 31 December 20.16. The agreement between Leicester and the
advertising company cannot be terminated and the monthly payments will have to be made at
the end of each month irrespective of the disposal or termination of the passenger aircraft
operation.

3. Investment in unlisted bonds

On 1 February 20.16, Leicester purchased 1 000 unlisted bonds in Sunderland Ltd at


R4 900 000. The objective of Leicester's business model with regards to the investment in
bonds is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the bonds. Therefore
both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the bonds are integral to achieving the
objective of the business model. Leicester also had to pay transaction costs related to the
investment in bonds on 1 February 20.16. Leicester was able to buy the bonds at a discount
due to the excellent negotiation skills of Leicester's financial manager. The bonds mature on
31 January 20.19 and will be redeemed at face value.

The bonds were not credit impaired at acquisition or at any other date thereafter and you may
assume that the allowance for expected credit losses relating to the bonds amounted to
R50 000 on 30 June 20.16. Leicester did not designate these bonds into any specific category
in terms of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments .

requested to assist in finalising the financial statements of NCFS for the year ended
31 December 20.14.

The following matters for the year ended 31 December 20.14 must still be accounted for:

1. Property

NCFS owns a warehouse and an office building. The warehouse facilitates the storage of the
shipping containers of NCFS and also provides office space to NCFS employees. On
acquisition date of the warehouse the useful life was estimated as 22 years and the residual
value deemed negligible. The estimated residual value and the useful life remained unchanged
from the acquisition date. The warehouse qualifies for a tax allowance of 5% per annum (not
apportioned for a part of a year) on the cost of the warehouse in terms of section 13quin of the
Income Tax Act.

The office building was used as the head office of NCFS from acquisition date of the building
until 31 March 20.14. On acquisition date of the office building the useful life was estimated as
25 years and the residual value deemed negligible. Due to the demand for property in the area
NCFS decided to lease its office building to another company. The operating lease agreement
with the company commenced on 1 April 20.14. The fair value of the office building on
1 April 20.14 is R5 200 000. On 31 March 20.14 the employees of NCFS moved from the office
building to the warehouse where additional office space was made available. The building has
never been impaired in terms of IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. The estimated residual value
and the useful life remained unchanged from acquisition date. The office building does not
qualify for any tax allowances.

The warehouse and office building are measured in accordance with the cost model of IAS 16
Property, Plant and Equipment. Depreciation for the year on the warehouse and office building
is provided for on the straight-line method over the asset’s remaining useful life.

Investment property is measured in accordance with the fair value model of IAS 40
Investment Property.

2. Shipping containers

NCFS is expanding its services to the rest of Africa. This led to an increase in demand for
shipping services and consequently NCFS requires more shipping containers for the storage
and transport of customers’ goods. NCFS decided to purchase new shipping containers from a
supplier in England. On 30 June 20.14 NCFS placed a non-cancellable order for 80 shipping
containers from its supplier in England for a total amount of £320 000. Due to NCFS’ exposure
to foreign exchange currency risk on this order, NCFS entered into a five-month forward
exchange contract (FEC) at a forward rate of £1 = R17,10 for the full amount payable. NCFS
entered into the FEC on the same date the order was placed. NCFS obtained control of the
shipping containers on 31 August 20.14. On this date NCFS paid £8 000 to a freight company
in England for the shipping of the containers. The shipping containers arrived in Cape Town
harbour on 31 October 20.14. The purchase price was settled with the supplier in England on
30 November 20.14. The shipping containers were ready for use as intended by management
on 1 December 20.14.

The following exchange rates are applicable:

Spot rate Forward rate


£1 = R £1 = R
30 June 20.14 16,90 17,10 (5 month FEC)
31 July 20.14 17,00 17,30 (4 month FEC)
31 August 20.14 17,25 17,28 (3 month FEC)
30 September 20.14 17,30 17,32 (2 month FEC)
31 October 20.14 17,34 17,40 (1 month FEC)
30 November 20.14 17,38 n/a

The accounting policy of NCFS is not to do hedge accounting. The South African Revenue
Service (SARS) accepts the accounting treatment of remeasurement gains or losses on FECs
and foreign creditors for tax purposes.

The shipping containers are accounted for in accordance with the cost model of IAS 16
Property, Plant and Equipment. Depreciation on the shipping containers is provided for on the
straight-line method over the shipping containers’ useful life of 12 years. The residual value is
deemed negligible.

The shipping containers included in the financial records of NCFS on 1 January 20.14 were all
purchased on 1 March 20.5 at a total cost of R6 745 000. The SARS allows a write-off period
of 10 years on the containers in terms of Interpretation Note 47 (not apportioned for a part of
the year). Assume that the SARS accepts the total cost of the shipping containers as
recognised in the financial records of NCFS as the value on which the tax allowance is based.

3. Investment in shares

NCFS owns an extensive investment portfolio in equity instruments that is managed by a


reputable asset management company. The purpose of this investment portfolio is to achieve
long term capital growth on the portfolio. The total fair value gain on the investment portfolio
held by NCFS amounted to R180 000 for the year ended 31 December 20.14. NCFS acquired
this investment portfolio on 15 July 20.14 at a cost of R5 800 000. NCFS’s accounting policy is
to present subsequent changes in the fair value of investments in equity instruments in other
comprehensive income in accordance with IFRS 9.5.7.5. During 20.14 NCFS received
dividends of R290 000 on its investment portfolio in equity instruments.

4. Investment in debentures

On 1 January 20.13 NCFS acquired 400 000 debentures issued by New Gold Ltd, a public
company in South Africa. New Gold Ltd debentures are securities backed by gold bullion and
are listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. The investment in debentures is held by
NCFS within a business model of which the objective is to collect contractual cash flows and
when an opportunity arises it will sell the bonds to re-invest the cash in other investments with
higher returns. In other words, both collecting contractual cash flows and selling the
debentures are integral to achieving the business model’s objective.

NCFS acquired the 400 000 debentures at its total fair value of R5 750 124 on
1 January 20.13. A coupon rate of 6% per annum is payable in arrears on 30 June and
31 December. The debentures mature on 31 December 20.15 at a face value of R6 000 000.
On 1 January 20.13 the market-related interest rate for similar listed debentures was 7,578%
per annum. The fair value of the investment in debentures amounted to R5 830 000 and
R5 920 000 on 31 December 20.13 and 31 December 20.14 respectively.

Management estimated the 12-month loss allowance for expected credit losses on initial
recognition of the debentures at an amount of R320 000. There was no significant increase in
the credit risk of the debentures since initial recognition and therefore management estimated
the 12-month loss allowance for expected credit losses on the debentures at R85 000 and
R100 000 on 31 December 20.13 and 31 December 20.14 respectively.

Assume that the SARS accepts the amortised cost of the debentures as the tax base of the
debentures. The SARS does not allow expected credit losses on the listed debentures as a
deduction for tax purposes. NCFS received a tax directive from SARS indicating that any
future taxable profits on the debentures will be taxed at 28%.

5. Insurance

NCFS obtained an insurance contract for the transport of its customers’ goods on 1 May 20.13.
The insurance premium is payable annually in advance to the insurer. The insurance contract
renews on 1 May annually. The premium paid on 1 May 20.14 amounted to R675 000. This
amount has not yet been accounted for in the financial statements for the financial year ended
31 December 20.14. On further inspection of the financial records you also noted that the total
insurance premium of R630 000 paid on 1 May 20.13 was included in other expenses in the
statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income for the year ended
31 December 20.13. SARS allows the total insurance premium paid as a deduction in the year
it is paid in terms of section 23H of the Income Tax Act. Since the SARS allowed the total
20.13 insurance premium of R630 000 as a deduction in the 20.13 financial year it is not
necessary for the 20.13 tax assessment to be re-opened.

6. Assessed loss

A new entrant into the logistic market during 20.13 negatively affected the profits of NCFS for
the year ended 31 December 20.13. On 31 December 20.13 NCFS had an accumulated tax
loss of R780 200 and at that date indications were that the company would not make taxable
profits in the foreseeable future. NCFS however adjusted its business strategy during 20.14
and was able to obtain a number of new clients. This improved its prospects to such an extent
that NCFS made a profit for the financial year ended 31 December 20.14 (see matter 7 below).

7. Profit before tax

The profit before tax for NCFS for the year ended 31 December 20.14, before the matters
above were taken into account, amounted to R21 500 000.

Additional information

- The directors of NCFS decided to early adopt IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with effect from
1 January 20.13.

- The normal income tax rate is 28% and the capital gains tax inclusion rate is 80%.

- The only temporary differences are those that are apparent from the information provided
above.

- Assume all amounts are material.

(b) (i) Onerous contract

IAS 37:68 defines an onerous contract as a contract in which the unavoidable


costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits
expected to be received under it.

The unavoidable costs under a contract reflect the least net cost of exiting from
the contract, which is the lower of the cost of fulfilling it and any compensation or
penalties arising from failure to fulfil it (IFRS 37.68).
Application
Since the contract cannot be terminated, the monthly payments payable to the
advertising company will remain payable from 1 September 20.15 until the
contract expires on 31 December 20.16 even though the passenger aircraft
operations have been suspended from 1 September 20.15. This will be the
unavoidable cost to meet the obligation under the contract, since there is no
compensation or penalty which will arise from failure to fulfill the contract. (3)

The least net cost of fulfilling the contract is R800 000 (R200 000 x 4) for the
period 1 September 20.15 to 31 December 20.15 and will exceed the economic
benefits expected to be received by Leicester under it. No economic benefits will
be received by Leicester due to the fact that all business activities of the
passenger aircraft operation will be suspended from 1 September 20.15. (2)

Conclusion
The agreement with the advertising company is an onerous contract. Therefore a
liability exists that have to be recognised in the records of Leicester for the year
ended 30 June 2016. (1)

ZFA4863/107

(ii) Discount rate

The discount rate which should be applied to the obligation where the time value
of money is material shall be a pre-tax rate that reflects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability
(IAS 37.47).

The discount rate does not reflect risks for which future cash flow estimates have
been adjusted (not relevant as the future cash flows are contractually fixed and
cannot be adjusted). (1)

The company’s weighted average cost of capital would not be appropriate as


it incorporates equity as well (not specific to a liability only). (1)

A general inflation rate can also not be used since it represents a general rate
of increases in prices and is not specific to the liability, which is being (1)
measured.

Conclusion
Thus, the company’s incremental borrowing rate should be used as the
discount rate since it reflects the market assessment (the bank’s view of
company’s credit risk) of time value of money and is specific to a liability
(borrowing money to settle an obligation). (1½)
Total (4½)
Maximum (4)
Communication skills: Logical argument (1)

(c) Fair value measurement

The investment in bonds is classified as debt intruments measured at fair value


throught other comprehensive income (OCI). The investment in bonds will be
measured at initial recognition at their fair value plus, transaction cost (IFRS 9.5.11). (1)

The best evidence of the fair value of a financial instrument at initial recognition is
normally the transaction price. If an entity determines that the fair value at initial
recognition differs from the transaction price, the instrument should be measured at
fair value if fair value is evidenced by a quoted price in an active market for an
identical asset or based on a valuation technique that uses only data from
observable markets. (2)

It is mentioned that Leicester paid less than the market price due to the excellent
negotiation skills of Leicester’s financial manager. The bonds should therefore be
measured at fair value and not the transaction price. (1)

Since the bonds are not listed, there will not be any quoted prices in an active
market for an identical asset, but the fair value can be determined with a valuation
technique which uses observable inputs only, namely market rates and cash
flows. (2)

Kindly refer to the below:

Client A: Intangible asset

Client A is in the music industry and has obtained the copyright to distribute the music of a
well-known musician. The agreement allows the client to record the musician for a period of three
years. During the first three-month period of the agreement, the musician was sick and unable to do
any recordings. The studio time that was booked by the client had to be paid even during the period
when the musician was sick and unable to do any recordings. The following costs were incurred by
the client:

R
Legal costs of acquiring the copyrights 20 000 000
Studio time lost during start-up period (first three months) 3 000 000
Studio time (nine months) 9 500 000

QUESTION 2 60 marks

Colourlux Ltd (Colourlux) is a leading manufacturer and distributor of industrial, decorative and
specialised paints. Colourlux has a wide range of quality products, supported by the latest
technology. The company is listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and has a 30 June
financial year end. Colourlux is an accredited member of the South African Paint Manufacturers
Association (SAPMA).

The financial accountant of Colourlux is in the process of finalising the financial statements for the
year ended 30 June 20.15 and requires your assistance with the following transactions:

1. Factory in Port Elizabeth

Colourlux owns a factory in Port Elizabeth which manufactures a wide variety of automotive
repair paints used by the panel beater industry. The factory in Port Elizabeth is the only factory
of Colourlux that manufactures this kind of industrial paint. The financial manager of the factory
reports to the chief executive officer of Colourlux on a monthly basis. The factory in
Port Elizabeth represents a separate major line of business of Colourlux’s operations.

On 1 November 20.13 Colourlux entered into an agreement with RepairAlot Ltd (RepairAlot) in
terms of which Colourlux agreed to supply each branch of RepairAlot with 60 litres of paint per
month until 28 February 20.17. The agreement is a non-cancellable contract without any
penalty clauses. Throughout the duration of the agreement RepairAlot had 45 branches
located across South Africa. In terms of the agreement the selling price of the paint was fixed
at R1 120 per 20 litres of paint. On 1 November 20.13 the total costs of manufacturing 20 litres
of paint amounted to R960. On 1 December 20.14, due to an unexpected permanent increase
in the price of raw materials, the total costs of manufacturing 20 litres of paint increased to
R1 230. The selling price per 20 litres of paint remained unchanged and did not lead to a
contract modification as per IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customer. In terms of the
agreement, the inventory is delivered immediately to the branches of RepairAlot and no
inventory of this paint is on hand at any stage at the Port Elizabeth factory. Colourlux
accounted for the sales and cost of sales associated with this agreement on a monthly basis in
the profit figure provided for the year (refer to point 3).

As a result of the unexpected rise in the price of raw materials and the fact that it is the only
automotive repair paint factory of Colourlux, the board of directors approved a decision at the
board meeting held on 15 January 20.15 to sell the factory as a single unit. The buyer of the
factory has to be willing to take over the agreement with RepairAlot. A detailed formal plan for
discontinuance of the factory was finalised on 1 February 20.15 and the main features of the
plan was announced on the same date.

Three interested buyers were identified during February 20.15 and by 25 February 20.15
negotiations with one of the buyers were finalised. On 1 March 20.15, all the requirements to
be classified as held for sale in terms of IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and
Discontinued Operations were met.

¹ Fair value on 1 March 20.15.


² Related sales and purchases were included in the profit provided (refer to point 3).
³ The movement in the loss allowance for lifetime expected credit losses were included in
the profit provided (refer to point 3).

It is the accounting policy of Colourlux to account for land, plant and factory buildings in terms
of the cost model of IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment. Investment property is measured
in terms of the fair value model of IAS 40 Investment Properties. Depreciation on plant and
factory buildings is provided for on the straight-line method. Colourlux tests non-current assets
held for sale for impairment in terms of IAS 36 Impairment of Assets before applying IFRS 5
Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations.

The plant was acquired on 1 January 20.12. The useful life of the plant was estimated at eight
years with a residual value of Rnil. On 30 June 20.14 the recoverable amount was estimated at
R770 000.

The factory building was acquired on 1 July 20.11. The useful life of the factory building was
estimated at 25 years with a residual value of R200 000.

There were no changes in the estimated useful life and residual value of the plant or the
factory building since the date it was acquired. The recoverable amounts of land and plant
were higher than the carrying amounts on 1 March 20.15. The fair value less costs to sell of
the factory building was R1 200 000 on 1 March 20.15. On 1 March 20.15, it was estimated
that the factory building will generate net cash inflows of R6 000 per month for the remainder
of its useful life.

The fair value of the investment property amounted to R1 280 000 on 30 June 20.14 and
R1 550 000 on 30 June 20.15 respectively.

The investment in Velvet Sheen Ltd (Velvet Sheen) was acquired on 1 January 20.14 and is
an equity investment which is not held for trading purposes. On initial recognition of the
investment in Velvet Sheen the management of Colourlux elected to present changes in the
fair value of the investment in other comprehensive income using the mark-to-market reserve.
The fair value of the investment amounted to R950 000 on 30 June 20.14 and R1 050 000 on
30 June 20.15 respectively.

On 30 June 20.15, none of the inventory on hand at 1 March 20.15 were sold but the net
realisable value amounted to R195 000.

The lifetime credit losses on trade receivables were as expected and all the trade receivables
were settled at R230 000 on 30 June 20.15. Only 40% of the trade payables were still
outstanding on 30 June 20.15.

The fair value of the disposal group amounted to R5 350 000 on 1 March 20.15 and
R5 680 000 on 30 June 20.15. The costs to sell this disposal group amounted to R100 000 on
1 March 20.15 and R150 000 on 30 June 20.15.

Assume that the effect of discounting is material when the relevant period exceeds 12 months.
Assume that the pre-tax rate of 8% per annum (compounded monthly) represents a fair
discount rate and that cash flows occur at the end of the month.

2. Transactions with employees

2.1 The factory employees of Colourlux are entitled to 20 working days' non-vesting paid
annual leave for each completed year of service. Unused paid annual leave may be
carried forward for one calendar year. Paid annual leave is first taken from the previous
year's balance carried forward, and then from the current year's entitlement (first-in, first-
out-basis).

The leave pay accrual amounted to R1 800 000 on 30 June 20.14. The unused balance
was five days per employee carried forward to 20.15. For the 20.15 financial year, 80%
of the employees took 18 days' paid annual leave and the remaining employees took
25 days' paid annual leave in 20.15. In 20.15, 5% of the total employees resigned before
taking their leave. The average salary per employee was R240 000 per year in 20.15.
The total employees in service on 1 July 20.14 were 500 employees. The total working
days in a calendar year are 252 days. A salary increase of 5% will be granted in 20.16. It
is expected that 10% of the employees will resign in 20.16 before leave can be taken and
that each of the remaining employees will take 20 days' paid annual leave in the 20.16
financial year.

2.2 On 1 January 20.14, Colourlux entered into an agreement with the directors of Colourlux.
According to the agreement all 12 directors will receive either 6 000 share options or
4 000 share appreciation rights (SARs). Each share option or SARs is equal to one
ordinary share of Colourlux. The share options or SARs will vest on 31 December 20.16,
provided that the directors remain in service at Colourlux until that date and the share
price of Colourlux exceeds R150 per share on 31 December 20.16.

The agreement states that Colourlux has the choice of settlement and can thus either
settle in share options or SARs. The terms and conditions associated with the share
options and SARs are identical. The share options have an exercise price of R20 per
share option and must be exercised by 31 December 20.17. The SARs also have to be
exercised by 31 December 20.17.

MJM
142 FAC4863/107
NFA4863/107
ZFA4863/107

This is the first transaction of its kind and thus Colourlux does not have any past practice
or stated policy of settling in cash. Colourlux is also not legally prohibited from issuing
shares. Throughout the duration of the agreement Colourlux has not given any indication
to the directors that the agreement will be settled in cash.

On 1 March 20.15, after negotiations at a board meeting, Colourlux agreed to modify the
agreement to decrease the exercise price of the share options to R15 per share and
extend the exercise date to 31 December 20.18.

The following fair values are applicable at the respective dates:

On 1 January 20.14, it was expected that nine directors would remain in service until
31 December 20.16. On 30 June 20.14, there were 11 remaining directors and it was still
estimated that nine directors would remain in service until vesting date. On
1 March 20.15, there were 11 directors remaining and the estimation of directors that will
remain in service until vesting date changed to eight directors. On 30 June 20.15, there
were 10 directors remaining and it was still estimated that eight directors would remain in
service until vesting date.

The financial accountant of Colourlux accounted for this agreement as a cash-settled


share-based payment in accordance with the principles of cash-settled share-based
payments as per IFRS 2 Share-based Payment. The amounts processed by the financial
accountant regarding this agreement are included in the retained earnings and profit
before tax figures provided (refer to point 3). The amounts associated with this
agreement are deemed to be material to the 20.14 and 20.15 financial statements of
Colourlux.

3. Financial information

The profit before tax of Colourlux for the year ended 30 June 20.15 amounted to R1 800 000.
None of the transactions as set out in point 1 to 2.2 has been recorded in the profit before tax
figure except for the sales and cost of sales associated with the agreement with RepairAlot
(refer to point 1), the movement in the loss allowance for lifetime expected credit losses on
trade receivables (refer to point 1) and the salaries of the factory employees (refer to point 2.2)
that were already recorded in this profit before tax amount.

The retained earnings, as presented in the audited financial statements for the year ended
30 June 20.14, amounted to R5 040 000 on 30 June 20.14.

On 15 June 20.15, Colourlux declared a dividend of R1 200 000 for the year ended
30 June 20.15.

CASE STUDY 9

QUESTION 1

Correct recognition and measurement (including measurement after recognition) of


the acquired copyrights
Recognition and measurement
An intangible asset shall be recognised if it is probable that the expected future economic
benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the entity; and the cost of the asset can
be measured reliably (IAS 38.21). (1)
Normally, the price an entity pays to acquire separately an intangible asset will reflect
expectations about the probability that the expected future economic benefits embodied in
the asset will flow to the entity. In other words, the entity expects there to be an inflow of
economic benefits, even if there is uncertainty about the timing or the amount of the inflow.
Therefore, the probability recognition criterion is always considered to be satisfied for
separately acquired intangible assets (IAS 38.25). (1)
In addition, the cost of a separately acquired intangible asset can usually be measured
reliably (IAS 38.26). (1)

The client acquired the copyrights even though the timing and amount of the benefits are
uncertain at recognition date, the probability recognition criteria is satisfied as the
acquisition of the copyrights reflect the expectations of the client that the future economic
benefits will flow to the client. (1)
The cost incurred by the client can be measured reliable as the purchase consideration was
paid in cash. (1)
An intangible asset shall be measured initially at cost (IAS 38.24). Therefore, the cost of the
intangible asset at initial recognition is the legal costs of R20 million. (1)
The cost of the studio time (R3 million + R9,5 million) should be expensed as it is normal
“operational costs” (IAS 38.29(c)) and are not part of the cost of the intangible asset. (1)
The costs of advertising (cost of introducing a new product) are not part of the cost of the
intangible asset, therefore the R1,5 million should be expensed (IAS 38.29(a)). Advertising
cost is specifically listed as an example of cost that should be expensed. (1)
Measurement after recognition
The client can choose either the cost model or the revaluation model (IAS 38.72). (1)
The client can only apply the revaluation model if the fair value can be determined by
making reference to an active market (IAS 38.75). (1)
An active market in terms of IFRS 13 refers to a market in which transaction for the
intangible asset take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing
information on an ongoing basis (IFRS 13 Appendix A). (1)
It is uncommon for an active market to exist for an intangible asset (IAS 38.78) (1)
An active market cannot exist for music copyrights as contracts are negotiated between
individual buyers and sellers and transactions are relatively infrequent.
Each such asset is unique.
Prices are often not available to the public. (IAS 38.78) (2)
The client shall assess whether the useful life of the copyrights is finite or indefinite
(IAS 36.88).
The depreciable amount of the copyrights will be allocated on a systematic basis over its
useful life (IAS 38. 97). (1)
Therefore the client will use the cost model and amortise the copyrights (R20 million) over
its finite useful life of three years. (1)
The client should assess at each reporting period whether there is an indication of
impairment (IAS 38.111).
There is no indication of impairment of the copyrights, therefore no impairment testing will
be done. (1)

COMMENT

Colourlux has a choice to settle the share-based payment either in share options or
share appreciation rights. Thus it should be determined whether Colourlux has a present
obligation to settle in cash in order to determine how the share-based payment should be
accounted for. Colourlux will have a present obligation if the choice of share options has
no commercial substance or it has a past practice of settling in cash (IFRS 2.41). Neither
is applicable and the share-based payment should be accounted for as an equity-settled
share-based payment transaction (IFRS 2.43). The financial accountant incorrectly
accounted for it as a cash-settled share-based payment transaction. As this information
was available, this represents an error in terms of IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in
Accounting Estimates and Errors and should be corrected retrospectively.

COMMENT

In terms of IFRS 5 certain assets and liabilities are scoped out of IFRS 5 measurement
principles (IFRS 5.5). Even though it does form part of the disposal group it is measured
in accordance with its own applicable IFRS standard. Therefore on 30 June 20.15 the
investment property, equity investment in Velvet Sheen Ltd, inventory trade receivables,
trade payables and the onerous contract is first measured in accordance with their own
applicable IFRS standard to determine the correct carrying amount that should be
included in the disposal group in order to determine the carrying amount of the disposal
group as a whole as at 30 June 20.15. Only then can the disposal group be remeasured
to the fair value less costs to sell as at 30 June 20.15.

Drumeo Ltd (Drumeo), including its subsidiaries and associates, operates as a manufacturer of
paper and plastic packaging, supplying its products to the South African market as well as to various
other countries on the African continent. Drumeo’s paper business is one of the largest paper
recyclers in Africa, with recycled paper being converted into high-quality industrial containers and
carton boards. The plastics business manufactures a range of plastic packaging products for the
food, beverage, personal care and pharmaceutical markets, primarily in South Africa.

The group is currently preparing the consolidated financial statements for the year ended
31 December 20.15. The financial director learnt of your technical expertise and approached you for
advice on specific matters relating to the financial statements. He provided you with key information
about Drumeo and extracts from the draft consolidated financial statements and notes.

The following key information pertains to Drumeo:

• The Drumeo group prepares its financial statements in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
• Drumeo is listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange.
• The performance of the plastics business has been disappointing in the 20.14 and 20.15
financial years (FY20.14 and FY20.15), partly because of strike action in the sector, credit
downgrades during the period, interest rate hikes and slowing demand as more
environmentally friendly and cost effective alternatives are being sought by consumers.
• The strong economic growth in some central and west African countries, including Ghana
and Nigeria, helped Drumeo record a profit for FY20.15 in the paper business. Cash
collections from customers are, however, problematic in these countries.
• Overall Drumeo recorded a net loss before taxation of R3 million in FY20.15 (FY20.14: net
loss before taxation of R200 000).
• One of the subsidiaries of Drumeo has an assessed tax loss that arose during FY20.15.
• Goodwill relates to both the plastics and paper businesses.
• During FY20.15 Moody’s Investor Service downgraded the credit rating of Drumeo.
• Drumeo has early adopted IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.

EXTRACT FROM THE NOTES TO THE DRAFT CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Accounting policies

1.1 Significant judgements and sources of estimation uncertainty

In preparing the financial statements, management is required to make estimates and


assumptions that affect the amounts represented in the financial statements and related
disclosures. Use of available information and the application of judgement are inherent in
the formation of estimates. Actual results in the future could differ from these
estimates and these differences may be material to the financial statements.
Management has concluded that the sources of estimation uncertainty for which
significant judgements are required relate to impairment testing. There are no other
areas of significant judgement, since all other assets and liabilities are accounted for on
the historical cost or amortised cost basis.

Impairment testing

• The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units and individual assets are


determined based on the higher of the value in use and fair value less costs of
disposal. These calculations require the use of estimates and assumptions. It is
reasonably possible that the assumptions may change, which may then have an
impact on our estimates and may in turn require a material adjustment to the carrying
amount of goodwill and tangible assets.
• In calculating the recoverable amounts of cash-generating units and individual
assets, the group’s projected cash flows for a period of seven years, are
discounted at the group’s weighted average cost (WACC) of capital of 15%
(FY20.14: 19%). The WACC calculated is net of tax.
• Management anticipated losses in the plastics business in prior years and
recorded impairment losses in prior years. No impairment tests were performed
during FY20.14 and FY20.15, as there were no indicators of impairment evident
during those years. Accordingly, no impairment losses have been recognised for
FY20.14 or FY20.15.

1.5 Financial instruments

Classification – financial assets

The group classifies financial assets into the following categories:


• Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
• Financial assets at amortised cost
• Debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income
• Equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The group classifies financial assets depending on the group’s business model for
managing its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the
instrument. A financial asset is classified at amortised cost only if both the following
criteria are met:

• The objective of the group’s business model is to hold the asset to collect the
contractual cash flows; and
• The contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely
payments of the principal and interest on the principal outstanding.

MJM
154 FAC4863/107
NFA4863/107
ZFA4863/107

If the group holds the asset in a business model with an intention to both hold the asset
to collect contractual cash flows and sell the asset, and the payments comprise solely of
principal and interest payments (i.e. debt instruments), the financial instrument is
classified and measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. If either one
of the two criteria above is not met, the financial instrument is classified as fair value
through profit or loss. All equity investments are measured at fair value. Equity
investments that are held for trading are measured at fair value through profit or loss.
For all other equity investments, the group makes an irrevocable election at initial
recognition to recognise changes in fair value through other comprehensive income
rather than profit or loss.

Classification – financial liabilities

Financial liabilities comprise of bonds, loans from associates, short-term loans and bank
overdrafts. All financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost.

5. Unlisted investment

The unlisted investment is a share investment held in a private company. This investment is
measured at fair value through profit or loss. No shares were bought or sold during the year.
There were no fair value adjustments during the year as the fair value was the same as that
determined at 31 December 20.14. The fair value of R41 million was determined by a
qualified share valuer as follows:

Carrying Fair value Valuation technique(s) and key input(s)


amount at hierarchy
31 December level
20.15
Unlisted R41 000 000 2 PE method – the fair value of the investment was
investment estimated using the company’s audited earnings
figures, making significant adjustments for non-recurring
items. An observable PE multiple of a similar listed
company was used as the multiple, with significant
adjustments for risk specific to the unlisted investment.

6. Deferred tax assets and liabilities

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when the group intends to settle its tax assets and
liabilities on a net basis. The deferred tax asset at year end represents unused tax losses.

The following additional disclosures have been included in the draft consolidated financial
statements, but have been omitted from these extracts. These are the only other disclosures
relating to deferred tax:

• Major components of tax expense/income (IAS 12.79 – 12.80).


• Tax rate reconciliation (IAS 12.81(c)).
• Analysis of deferred tax balances at year end and reconciliation of the opening and
closing deferred tax balances (IAS 12.81(a) and (g)).

12. Loan to associate

The loan of R25 million was provided three years ago to Mondeo (Pty) Ltd (Mondeo). The loan
bears no interest and is repayable on demand. In view of the zero interest on the loan, the
loan to Mondeo is accounted for at historical cost.

15. Financial risk disclosure

The only financial risk to which the group is exposed to, is liquidity risk. The group manages
this risk by managing the maturities of its assets and liabilities to ensure there are no
significant timing mismatches.

QUESTION 2 40 marks

The soft drink, Kola was invented in May 18.86 by Dr John Pemberton, a pharmacist from Atlanta in
the United States. The soft drink was named Kola by Dr Pemberton’s creative bookkeeper. He also
registered the formula for the soft drink with the patent office and designed the distinct script of the
brand name. In 18.87 Dr Pemberton decided to sell the majority interest in his soft drink business to
the businessman, Asa Candler, for $2,300. Asa Candler became the first president of the Kola
company and under his leadership the Kola soft drink brand reached new heights. Since then Kola
soft drinks have become the world’s most popular soft drink.

South Africa is the largest consumer of Kola on the African continent. In order to meet this demand,
South African Bottlers (SAB) Ltd produces and distributes Kola soft drinks to all types of outlets
throughout South Africa, from tuck shops to supermarket groups and wholesalers.

You have been asked to assist Mr Goodwill, the accountant of SAB Ltd, in finalising the financial
statements of SAB Ltd for the year ended 30 June 20.14. The outstanding issues on which he
requires your assistance is explained below:

1. Expansion project

On 2 July 20.13 SAB Ltd announced a R50 million investment in a new plant in Alrode, Gauteng, as
part of its continued efforts to support the local economy by expanding its manufacturing capabilities.
SAB Ltd currently has two plants, one at Caledon in the Western Cape which produces about
20 million units of Kola a year and an existing plant at Alrode which produces 10 million units of Kola
a year. The existing Alrode plant is about 40 years old and coming towards the end of its economic
life. It will be decommissioned once the new plant is completed in May 20.20.

SAB Ltd funded the R50 million expansion project as follows:

- R30 million of the project was funded by SAB Ltd’s existing cash reserves.
- On 1 August 20.13 SAB Ltd issued 180 000 convertible cumulative preference shares to a
local investment bank at an issue price of R50 per preference share. The maturity date of the
preference shares is 1 August 20.20. The investment bank has the option to convert each
preference share into five ordinary shares at any time until maturity date. If the preference
shares are not converted into ordinary shares before maturity date, SAB Ltd will redeem the
preference shares in cash on 1 August 20.20. The dividend rate is an 8% cumulative
preference dividend per annum calculated on the issue price. It is the intention of management
to declare preference dividends annually. All unpaid dividends accumulate until conversion
date or maturity date. On 1 August 20.13 the prevailing market yield for similar preference
shares without conversion rights was 8,36% per annum. A loan of $1 100 000 was obtained on
1 July 20.13 from the Kola company in the United States. Interest on the loan is repayable in
arrears at 8% per annum, which is a market related interest rate. Interest is payable bi-
annually on 31 December and 30 June, commencing on 31 December 20.13. The capital
amount of the loan is only repayable on 1 July 20.23.

Due to the weakening of the Rand, SAB Ltd entered into a foreign exchange contract (FEC) on
31 December 20.13 to hedge itself against unfavourable foreign exchange movements in the foreign
loan of $1 100 000. SAB Ltd entered into a six month FEC on 31 December 20.13 at a forward rate

1 July 20.13 $1 = 10,10


31 December 20.13 $1 = 10,05
30 June 20.14 $1 = 10,30

The average exchange rates applicable for this period were as follows:

1 January 20.14 – 30 June 20.14 $1 = 10,28

SAB does not apply hedge accounting in terms of IFRS 9.

SAB Ltd did not undertake any construction activities or incurred any expenditure in respect of the
new Alrode plant during the year ended 30 June 20.14. This was due to a delay in the local
municipality’s approval process for the construction of the plant. Approval for the construction of the
plant was received from the municipality on 30 July 20.14.

2. Share option

Since 20.12, the management of SAB Ltd has considered ordinary shares in a local brewery,
Carlton Beer Ltd (Carlton), to be a viable investment for speculative purposes. On 15 May 20.14
SAB Ltd acquired a share option to purchase 200 000 ordinary shares in Carlton at R10,75 per
share, when Carlton’s shares were trading at that price. SAB Ltd paid R85 000 for the option on
17 May 20.14. SAB Ltd also had to pay a commission of 5% of the purchase price of the option to
the broker who negotiated the deal. The option will expire on 15 July 20.14. On 30 June 20.14 the
fair value of the share option was R98 000, at which date Carlton’s shares traded at R9,97 each. The
fair value of the option is based on market information (quotes) for similar instruments and is tested
for reasonableness by discounting estimated future cash flows using the market rate for similar
instruments at measurement date.

QUESTION 2

(a) SAB Ltd should evaluate the terms of the financial instrument to determine whether it
contains both a liability and an equity component (IAS 32.28). (1)

Preference dividends
Since all accumulated (unpaid) dividends will roll up until conversion date or maturity
date, SAB Ltd has a contractual obligation to deliver cash in the form of preference
dividends to the investment bank on or before 1 August 20.20. (1)
The obligation to pay preference dividends to the investment bank is therefore a
financial liability (IAS 32.11). (1)

Embedded option (½)


The investment bank has a call option (the right to exchange the preference shares
for ordinary shares) exercisable at any time before maturity date. (1)
However, a contract is not an equity instrument solely because it may result in the
delivery of the entity’s own equity instruments (IAS 32.21). (½)
The investment bank holds the right to convert preference shares into a fixed number
of ordinary shares in SAB Ltd (IAS 32.22). (1)
The embedded call option is therefore classified as an equity instrument. (1)

Principle amount
If the investment bank (holder) does not exercise its option to convert to ordinary
shares, SAB Ltd will have to redeem the preference shares on 1 August 20.20. (1)
SAB Ltd therefore has a contractual obligation to deliver cash until it is extinguished
through conversion or maturity of the preference shares (IAS 32.30) (1)
Therefore this obligation to redeem the preference shares is a financial liability. (1)

Conclusion
The convertible preference shares should be classified as a compound financial
instrument in the financial statements of SAB Ltd for the year ended 30 June 20.14. (1)

COMMENT

The above table illustrates the subsequent amortisation separately. It is also acceptable
to combine the initial liability and subsequent amortisation into one line item called
convertable preference share.

IAS 12.23 refer to jurisdictions where the tax base = liability + equity. In South Africa that
is not applicable and the tax base is calculated in terms of IAS 12.8.

(d) SAB Ltd’s business model for the share option (derivative) is to manage the

- SAB Ltd cannot collect contractual cash flows as there are none; and (½)
- The share option is held for speculative purposes. (½)

The share option therefore is classified as fair value through P/L. (½)

The share option is recognised as a financial asset when SAB Ltd became a party to
the contractual provisions of the option (IFRS 9.3.1.1). (½)
SAB Ltd became party to the option contract on 15 May 20.14 and not on the day of

The direct incremental transaction costs (commission of 5%) of R4 250 are immediately
expensed in profit or loss as the investment is classified as measured at fair value
through profit or loss (IFRS 9.5.1.1). (1)
The share option is re-measured at the reporting date (30 June 20.14) to its fair value of (1)
R98 000.
The fair value gain of R13 000 (R98 000 – R85 000) is recognised in profit or loss
(IFRS 9.5.7.1). (1)

A derivative such as the share option meets the definition of ‘held for trading’ (IFRS 9,
Appendix A). (½)

QUESTION 1 40 marks

King Flowers Ltd (King Flowers) is the leading supplier of dried flowers in South Africa. Any flowers
not used in the drying process are sold at the fresh produce market. King Flowers also
exportsindigenous dried flowers, including dried proteas and fynbos, and decorative plant
material around the globe. The company has a 30 June financial year end and it is listed on the
Johannesburg Stock Exchange.

The following transactions relating to King Flowers occurred during the current financial year:

Land

The company owns 900 hectare of land, of which 300 hectare has been set aside to create a
nature reserve. The remaining land continues to be developed for cultivation and at present there
are more than 80 hectares planted with different species, partially under irrigation to achieve a
higher quality product. The revalued carrying amount of the land on 1 July 20.13 was R32 million
and the original cost was R12 million.

On 1 April 20.14, the board of directors decided to propose a dividend to shareholders. The
dividend payment comprises o f a distribution of land to its shareholders in line with the
company's strategy with regards to corporate social development. The land that will be distributed
was purchased a number of years ago for R1 million. The fair value of the land on 1 July 20.13
and 1 April 20.14 was R1,3 million and R900 000 respectively and the distribution cost amounted
to R100 000 on 1 April 20.14. The proposed dividend was approved by the shareholders on
1 April 20.14. The land met all the requirements to be classified as held for distribution on
1 April 20.14. The settlement of the dividend will take place early in the new financial year. The
fair value of the land on 30 June 20.14 was R890 000 and the distribution cost R105 000.

The fair value of the remaining land owned by King Flowers was R29 million on 30 June 20.14.

Ship

King Flowers transports their dried flowers globally via sea travel. On 1 August 20.13, Diaz ship
builders commenced with the construction of King Flowers’s own specialised ship for the
transportation of their dried flower products. This is the only ship owned by King Flowers.

The costs and completion dates of the ship are as follows:

ZAR Completion date


Phase 1 3 million 30 November 20.13
Phase 2 6 million 31 December 20.13

The project will be financed as follows:

• An overdraft facility will be made available from Protea Bank on 1 August 20.13 bearing
interest at a market-related rate.
• The total borrowing cost amount related to the project is R110 504.

Expenses are incurred evenly and paid immediately within each phase.

On 31 December 20.13 (at the end of phase 2), substantially all of the activities necessary to
prepare the ship for its intended use had been completed. However the ship was required to be
transferred to Richard's Bay harbour for a once off technical and safety test to approve the new
ship as sea-worthy. The test was completed and the ship was available for use on 1 May 20.14
(the ship has a useful life of 30 years from that date).

Buildings

Details of King Flowers’ buildings on 30 June 20.14 were as follows:


• Cost – 1 July 20.13 R4,5 million
• Total useful life 30 years
• Remaining useful life 23 years
• Residual value Rnil

Refrigerator truck

The refrigerator truck was purchased on 1 October 20.11 at a total amount of R980 000.

King Flowers expects the useful life of the refrigerator truck to be 350 000 kilometres (km) and the
residual value to be immaterial. Below is a summary of the logbook of the refrigerator truck:

On 10 May 20.14 the refrigerator unit and box of the truck was damaged in an accident and could
not be repaired. There was no damage done to the truck itself. The insurance company paid an
amount of R105 000 for damages relating to the refrigerator unit and box. The refrigerator unit
and box were replaced at a total cost of R225 000 during May and the refrigerator truck was
ready for use on 1 June 20.14. Although the refrigerator unit and box form a significant part of the
truck, they were not depreciated separately. It is expected that the refrigerator unit and box will be
replaced after 30 000 working hours. The refrigerator unit and box worked approximately 210 hours
during June 20.14.

Delivery trucks

On 1 January 20.13 King Flowers purchased three delivery trucks for R1 200 000 each.
King Flowers expects the useful life of one delivery truck to be 400 000 km and the residual
value to be immaterial. On 30 June 20.14 management revised the residual value of the delivery
trucks to R250 000 each and the total expected useful life of each delivery truck to 320 000
km. The total kilometres of the delivery trucks were as follows:

Year ended Total kilometres per year for 3 delivery trucks Cumulative total
30 June 20.13 130 000 130 000
30 June 20.14 280 500 410 500

Packaging business

On 1 December 20.12, King Flowers purchased the operating assets of a packaging business
for R3 million. The acquired assets meet the definition of a business. At the date of acquisition,
the plant and equipment of the business had a carrying amount of R1,2 million (fair value of
R2,2 million) with a remaining useful life of four years and a residual value of R100 000. Apart
from plant and equipment, the only other identifiable asset acquired was an internally
generated patent that relates to a design. The patent had a fair value of R300 000 on
1 December 20.12 and R50 000 of the costs incurred in developing the patent had been
capitalised prior to the acquisition of the business. The patent is only useful if it is used in
conjunction with the plant and equipment in the packaging business and contractually may not be
sold by King Flowers. On 1 December 20.12, the patent had a remaining useful life of three years.

During 20.14 Numpack Ltd, the largest packaging company in Africa, opened a branch in
Cape Town. On 30 June 20.14, a decision was taken to discontinue the acquired business and to
modify the plant and equipment so that it could be used in a different line of business. If
R250 000 were spent converting the plant and equipment to make it compatible with a
profitable production line within King Flowers, the value in use of the plant and equipment would be
R3,5 million. The fair value less costs to sell of the plant and equipment at 30 June 20.14 was
R1 million and the value in use excluding modification was R850 000. Management spent the
R250 000 conversion costs during November 20.14, prior to the finalisation of the 20.14 financial
statements. King Flowers did not acquire any other plant and equipment during the 20.14 financial
year.

QUESTION 2 30 marks

Topwood Ltd (“Topwood”) is a proudly South African company that manufactures furniture, mainly
for office use. The company purchases the raw timber, leather and other items necessary to
manufacture the furniture from various suppliers in South Africa. Topwood’s products are very
popular throughout South-Africa. Topwood also only uses indigenous wood from forests in South
Africa.

Topwood has a 30 June year end.

1. Share-based payments

The following is an extract of the policies and procedures manual of Topwood:

Share-based payment scheme to strategic managers

Purpose To retain strategic expertise in the company.


Scope To each of our 350 managers, employed as at
1 July 20.8, we grant 150 share options (one share
per option) on the condition that they remain in
service of the company for the next four years.
Fair value of option on 1 July 20.8 R26
Vesting date 30 June 20.12

Additional information regarding the above mentioned share-based payment scheme

• On 1 July 20.8 Topwood estimated that 130 managers will leave the service of the
company over the next four years and therefore, forfeit their rights to the share options.
• For the year ended 30 June 20.9, 40 managers left the service of the company and
Topwood estimated that another 90 will leave over the next three years.
• For the year ended 30 June 20.10, 20 managers left the service of the company and
Topwood estimated that another 60 will leave over the next two years.
• For the year ended 30 June 20.11, 35 managers left the service of the company and
Topwood estimated that another 10 will leave during 20.12.

The share price of Topwood decreased during the 20.9 financial year and the company
decided to re-price the share options on 1 July 20.9. Vesting will still take place on
30 June 20.12. Topwood estimated the fair value of each of the original share options to be
R22 at the date of the re-pricing, while the fair value of each re-priced share option was
estimated to be R23.

On 30 June 20.11 Topwood’s directors decided to cancel the share-based payment scheme in
exchange for a cash settlement of R30 per option. The market value of Topwood’s shares was
R28 at 30 June 20.11.

2. Employee benefits

Topwood has different levels of employees in the company. The accountant is unfamiliar with
IAS 19 Employee Benefits and does not know how to calculate the leave provision at
30 June 20.11.

MJM
172 FAC4863/107
NFA4863/107
ZFA4863/107

The following information is available on 1 July 20.10 (as per employee):

Maximum Leave taken


Gross Maximum accumulated in current
Level of salary per Number of leave leave allowed year per
employee year employees allowed per to carry employee
R year (days) forward (days)
(days)
Directors 570 000 4 28 15 12
Sales personnel 356 500 8 25 15 20
Factory workers 120 500 60 15 5 14

• The company’s policy indicates that all unused leave balances that are not utilised within
twelve months will be forfeited; and
• Unused leave balances may not be paid out in cash when an employee leaves the
service of Topwood.
• When leave is taken, it is first taken from the previous year‘s entitlement and then from
the current year’s entitlement.
• Topwood expects that directors will take 14 days leave in the 20.12 financial year, while
sales personnel will take 22 days leave and factory workers 15 days leave.
• There was no unused leave at 30 June 20.10.
• On 1 March 20.11 two of the sales personnel resigned. No other employees are
expected to resign during the 20.12 financial year.
• You may assume that there were 260 work days during the current financial year.

3. Inventories

Topwood values raw material and work in progress (WIP) on a first-in-first-out (FIFO) basis.

The following are information regarding their manufacturing process:

Raw material

Raw material on hand on 30 June 20.10 (at cost) R532 800


Raw material on hand on 30 June 20.11 ?
Raw material purchased during the year 105 000 kg

The following costs relating to the purchasing of raw material were incurred during the current
financial year:

R
Purchase price 5 728 500
Transport costs 56 000
Handling costs 32 000
Storage (not part of production process) 48 000
Administrative expenses 29 600
5 894 100

The inventory count at year end indicated that only 28% of the total raw material purchased
was on hand at 30 June 20.11.

MJM
173 FAC4863/107
NFA4863/107
ZFA4863/107

The normal raw material wastage is 15%, which takes place at the beginning of the production
process.

The net realisable value of raw material amounts to R50 per kilogram on 30 June 20.11.

Work in progress

R
Work in progress on hand on 30 June 20.10, at cost 428 400

The cost of work in progress at 30 June 20.11 has not yet been calculated. Detailed production
records indicate that 15% of this year’s allocated production expenditure and material used
relate to furniture that were still under production at year end.

Overhead costs

Topwood uses normal capacity for the allocation of the fixed production overhead during the
year.

The following overheads occurred during the year ended 30 June 20.11:

R
Variable production overheads (fully productive) 752 800
Fixed production overheads 1 250 300

Normal capacity equals 15 000 units per year. Due to various problems, Topwood only
produced 13 800 units for the year.

Labour

The following information is available for the year ended 30 June 20.11:

Direct labour R12,60 per hour


Productive hours 125 000 hours
Normal idle hours 3 400 hours

Finished products

R
Finished products on hand on 30 June 2010, at cost 1 569 000

Of the finished products, 25% of the units transferred from WIP in the current year were still on
hand on 30 June 20.11.

The selling price of the finished products was R750 on 30 June 20.11. The delivery cost per
product amounts to R50, while the sales commission amounts to 2,5%.

QUESTION 3 9 marks

Livpool Ltd (Livpool) is listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and manufactures soccer balls
used by the Premier league in South Africa and the United Kingdom. Soccer balls are manufactured
at different factories located in the Western Cape and Gauteng provinces. Livpool’s financial year
end is 31 December.

You are busy assisting the financial accountant in resolving a few outstanding issues in order to
complete the annual financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 20.13. These
outstanding matters are as follows:

Deferred tax asset

The financial accountant of Livpool recognised a deferred tax asset of R425 000 for the financial
year ended 31 December 20.13 (you may assume the deferred tax asset amount was correctly
calculated). The deferred tax asset originated due to an assessed tax loss in the 20.13 financial
year. The assistant accountant informed the financial director that he must reverse the deferred tax
asset since the South African Revenue Service (SARS) will definitely not reimburse the deferred tax
asset to Livpool. The financial accountant raised this issue with you and asked you to discuss this
matter with the assistant accountant. He also indicated that Livpool Ltd will have sufficient future
taxable profits since Livpool is expected to become profitable within the next six months and
presented a detailed budget indicating a high likelihood that the company will become profitable
within the next six months.

Expansion project

In order to expand its operations Livpool had to expand its storage facilities. Livpool decided to issue
debentures to raise the required funds for this expansion project. On 1 January 20.12, Livpool issued
debentures at fair value to a local investor, Kapitek Ltd, under the following terms and conditions:

Number of debentures 100 000


Maturity date 31 December 20.14
Redemption value Redemption at a 5% premium on the nominal value
Nominal value of one debenture R180
Coupon interest rate 9% per annum on the nominal value
Market interest rate of similar instruments 8,5% per annum
Transactions costs paid by Kapitek on R20 000
1 January 20.12

Livpool did not elect to irrevocably designate its financial liabilities in terms of IFRS 9.4.2.2 to be
measured at fair value through profit or loss.

COMMENT

The general rule of IAS 2 is that inventories should be reflected at the lower of cost or net
realisable value.

However raw materials or supplies that will be incorporated in the finished product are not
written-down below cost if the finished product is expected to be sold at or above cost
(IAS 2.32).

Selling price of finished products (750 – 50 – (750 x 2.5%)) 681,25 (1)


Cost price of finished products (1 858 439 / (13 800 x 25%)) 538,68 (1)
Cost per kilogram of raw material purchased during the year
(5 816 500 / 105 000) 55,39 (1)
Net realisable value per kilogram (given) 50,00 (½)

The net realisable value of the finished products is above the cost price, the raw
material should not be written down to its net realisable value. This is because raw
materials or supplies that have been incorporated in the finished product are not written-
down below cost if the finished product is expected to be sold at or above cost. (2)

QUESTION 3 – Suggested solution

Classification and measurement of the debentures in the financial statements of Livpool Ltd

Classification

COMMENT

A financial liability is any liability that is a contractual obligation to deliver cash or another
financial asset to an entity (IAS 32.11(a)(i)).

• Livpool has a contractual obligation to deliver cash to Kapitek Ltd in the form of annual
coupon payments and the redemption amount. (1)
• Hence the debentures issued are classified in the financial statements of Livpool as a
financial liability in terms of IAS 32. (1)

Measurement

COMMENT

Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value minus transaction costs, in the case
of a financial liability not measured at fair value through profit or loss (IFRS 9.5.1.1).

• The debentures issued by Livpool should be measured at a fair value of R18 934 479
[C1] on initial recognition. The impact of transaction costs on the initial measurement
may be ignored by Livpool since the transaction costs were paid by the investor
(Kapitek Ltd). (3)

COMMENT

All financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortised cost except for those
financial liabilities mentioned in IFRS 9.4.2.1(a) – (e).

• Since the debentures issued are not those financial liabilities mentioned in
IFRS 9.4.2.1(a)–(e) the debentures should be subsequently measured at amortised cost. (1)

COMMENT

The amortised cost of the financial liability is the amount at initial recognition minus the
principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortisation using the effective
interest method of any difference between the initial amount and the maturity amount
(IFRS 9 Appendix A).

• The effective interest rate on the debentures is the market interest rate on similar
instrument of 8,5% per annum. (1)
• The amortised cost of the debentures on 31 December 20.13 amounts to
R18 912 442 [C2]. (1)

QUESTION 1 20 marks

You are employed by Expert Ltd (Expert). Expert provides accounting and tax consulting services to
various clients. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued the revised Conceptual
Framework for Financial Reporting (Conceptual Framework), a comprehensive set of concepts for
financial reporting in March 20.18. Your portfolio includes the following two allocated clients who
have approached you regarding the recognition of assets and liabilities in terms of the revised
Conceptual Framework.

Client 1: Mogale Ltd

On 13 June 20.18, Mogala Ltd (Mogala) purchased a holographic touch screen patent from
Innovation Ltd (Innovation) at a cost of R250 million. This patent grants Mogala sole access to all
international and local patents with regard to the design and manufacture of holographic touch
screens. Therefore, only Mogala can utilise the patent to design and manufacture the holographic
touch screens. This will result in Mogala being the only supplier (seller) of holographic touch screen
smartphones and it will also ensure that Mogala is the only designer and manufacturer of such
smartphones.

Mogala will manufacture all the other components of the smartphones and it will assemble the
holographic touch screen smartphones and it is estimated that 90 million holographic touch screen
smartphones will sell within the next financial year at a satisfactory profit margin.

Client 2: Sea Homes Ltd

Sea Homes Ltd (Sea Homes) is a new real estate agency which specialises in the selling of beach
front holiday homes. Sea Homes operates in the south coast of the Kwazulu-Natal region in South
Africa. As part of its expansion strategy, a decision has been taken by the directors of the company
to open a new office on the northen coast within the of Kwazulu-Natal region.

Sea Homes paid R40 000 to Umhlanga News to advertise holday homes, which are for sale, in its
newspaper during January 20.18. This amount was paid on 15 December 20.18.

CASE STUDY 12
QUESTION 1 – Suggested solution

Discuss, in terms of The Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 20.18, whether the
patent (refer to client 1) and the payment to Umhlanga News (refer to client 2) may be
recognised as an asset.
An item can only be recognised as an asset if it meets the definition of an asset (Conceptual
Framework 5.6) and only if recognition of the asset provides users of financial statements
with information that is useful (Conceptual Framework 5.6 – 5.7).

An asset is a present economic resource contolled by an entity as a result of past events


(Conceptual Framework 4.3).

An economic resource is a right that has the potential to produce economic benefits
(Conceptual Framework 4.4).

MOGALA LTD - Client 1


Definition of an asset
Right
Since Mogala acquired (purchased) the patent, Mogala has the sole right to use the patent
(intellectual property) for the design and manufacture holographic touch screens (1)
(Conceptual Framework 4.6 (b)(ii)).
Potential to produce economic benefits (economic resource)
The right to design and manufacture holographic touch screens has the potential to produce
economic benefits since the holographic touch screen smartphones produced will be sold to
generate revenue which will give rise to an asset (either cash or a trade receivable) which is
an economic resource (Conceptual Framework 4.16 (d)). (2)

Control
The patent can be used by Mogala only, therefore, Mongala has the ability to direct the use
of the right to manufacture holographic touch screen smartphones by having the exclusive
use of the patent (Conceptual Framework 4.20). (1)
Only Mogala will obtain any revenue derived from the sale of the holographic touch screen
smartphones (Conceptual Framework 4.20). (1)

Since the patent may only be used by Mogala, Mogala has the present ability to prevent
other entities from directing the use of the patent, to design and manufacture these
holographic touch screens in the production of the holographic touch screen smartphones
(Conceptual Framework 4.20). (1)
Revenue received from the sale of holographic touch screen smartphones will accrue to
Mogala only (be legally in the name of Mogala). Mogala therefore has the present ability to
prevent others from obtaining the revenue generated from the sale of the holographic touch (1)
screen smartphones (Conceptual Framework 4.20).

ZFA4863/107

Past event
The past event is the acquisition of the holographic touch screen patent by Mogala from
Innovation Ltd which gives Mogala the the right to use the patent to manufacture touch
screens. (1)
Recognition criteria
Relevant information
• The patent was acquired at a cost, therefore, there is no uncertainity whether the
patent exists (Conceptual Framework 5.12 (a)), nor is (1)
• the probability of the inflow of future economic benefits is low as the analysis of the
current customer base and target customer forecast that 90 million holographic touch
screens smartphones will sell in the first year, at a satisfactory profit (Conceptual
Framework 5.12 (a)). (1)
Faithful representation
The holographic touch screen patent was acquired by Mogala at a cost of R250 million,
therefore, there is no measurement uncertainity associated with the patent (Conceptual
Framework 5.18). (1)
Conclusion
The patent will be recognised as an asset in terms of the Conceptual Framework for
Financial Reporting in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 20.18. (1)

SEA HOMES LTD - Client 2


Definition of an asset

Right
Sea Homes Ltd has the right for the advertisements to appear in the Umhlanga News paper
in the following financial year (January 20.19), due to the payment which has been made on
15 December 20.18 (Conceptual Framework 4.7 (ii)). (1)
Potential to produce economic benefits
This right has the potential to produce economic benefits to Sea Homes Ltd, in the form of
both:
• cash inflows through potential clients who might buy a home which is advertised for
sale, and
• in the form of reduced future cash outflows since the cash payment for the newspaper
advertisements have already been made (a prepayment) (Conceptual
Framework 4.16 (d)). (2)

MJM
191 FAC4863/107
NFA4863/107
ZFA4863/107

Control
The control arises through the underlying contract with the newspaper (Conceptual
Framework 4.20) (1)
Past event
The past event is the prepayment for the advertisement on 15 December 20.18, before the
end of the reporting period. (1)
Recognition criteria
The right has two potential economic benefits:
• The potential to produce economic benefits through cash inflows from any future home
sales has such a high level of measurement uncertainty (i.e. we cannot quantify the
number or value of the sales that will occur as a direct result of the newspaper
advertisement) that, if we were to recognise such a benefit, we would not achieve
faithful representation (Conceptual Framework 5.18). (2)

• However, the second potential economic benefit identified, being the reduced future
cash outflow (i.e. reduced advertising cash outflows), has no measurement uncertainty
at all (we know the amount that has been prepaid) and thus faithful representation is not
adversely affected and this benefit may therefore be recognised as an asset (2)
(Conceptual Framework 5.18).
Conclusion
The payment will be recognised as an asset in terms of the Conceptual Framework for
Financial Reporting in the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 20.18. (1)
