Question 7: (25) On 1 January 20.7, the first day of the financial year, P held a 35% ownership interest in S Ltd. On 31 March 20.7, P Ltd, acquired a further ownership interest of 20% in S Ltd from other shareholders for R200 000. P Ltd accounted for its initial investment in S Ltd in its consolidated financial statements in terms of the equity method, as significant influence was exercised over the financial and operating policies of S Ltd from the date of purchase of the initial interest. From the date of acquisition of the second interest in S Ltd, P Ltd exercised control over the financial and operating policies of S Ltd. The following information applies to the year ended 31 December 20.7: Draft statements of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income for the year ended 31 December 20.7
Additional information: 1. P Ltd acquired its 35% interest in S Ltd for R175 000 (equalling its proportion of the net asset value of S Ltd) when S Ltds retained earnings amounted to R 150 000. Since then, S Ltd has not issued any new shares. 2. S Ltds major asset is land. S Ltd revalued this property in its individual financial statements just before P Ltd acquired its 35% interest, and credited the revaluation surplus by R100 000. The land, presented in S Ltds statement of financial position at R800 000, is not depreciated. It is the policy of the group to realise the revaluation surplus when the asset is sold. Any amount paid in excess of the net asset value of S Ltd at the acquisition date of the additional date of the additional 20% ownership interest in S Ltd, is attributed to the fact that land in not fairly stated at this date. The remainder of S Ltds net assets are of a short-term nature and regarded as fairly stated in terms of the requirements of IFRS 3 Business Combinatons. 3.

S Ltds net income was earned evenly throughout the year. 5. P Ltd elected to measure the non-controlling interest at its proportionate share of the acquirees identifiable net assets at the acquisition date. 6. P Ltd elected to measure the investment in S Ltd at cost in its separate financial statements in terms of IAS 27.10 (a) and IAS 28.44.
