    Frank you are totally right, it was such small oversight at my end…. so even though I balanced – I balanced with an error hopefully I won’t forfeit to many marks

    Bugger you are totally right, surely that’ll only be 2 marks for getting the Goodwill wrong when everything else balanced?

    @Frank I am probably going to kick myself and hopefully the answers someone gives will give me a “Graham you are an idiot moment’, so I worked out my goodwill based on the shares (SC $6000/50P = 12000 shares, 75% 9000 shares X £1.35 then added my contigent consideration [mistake?] deducted my share capital, and my fair value movement my pre aq I worked it out this way I can’t recall the specifics

    R/E as per BS it was definately a positive figure, I deducted by PNL which was -£4600 deducted that off my RE @ Y/E to get my opening R/E then said Opening Retain Earnings + (-$4,600/12×6)

    Maria – I read Q1 and noted that the directors thought goodwill was going to be regarded as a bargain purchase, but when I calculated goodwill I got a positive result.

    I just didn’t see the negative goodwill, my Conslidation balanced but the Goodwill I totally screwed up… ran out of time, writing went from bad to worse…
