    It was easy. What did you all think of the following questions:
    1) Treatment of compound interment 5% $10 million convertibles as 100% equity??
    2) Treatment of Loan gauranteed by Borough for Hamlet.

    My answers were:
    1) YOu can’t treat convertibles as 100% equity as it reduced the finance cost from almost 735000 to 500000 and also turned liability of 9,091,0000 into equity which is basically creative accounting

    2) The loan would be contingent liability of $10 millions as it has been guaranteed by Borough. Rest $12million would be offset by current value of assets. Remaining $3 would be provision because Borough could be sued for that amount and if it is likely to loose then they need a provision

    I don’t think it was too bad but then again I did not finish the paper, my time management is awful.
    My biggest gripe however, is that the hall we did the exam in was freezeing, I spend half the time rubbing my hands together.

    It was ok…. 4 & 5 stopped me in my tracks, knew a bit but not confidently so. I don’t think there was anything nasty on this paper. Good luck all….fingers crossed.

    It was surprisingly easy!
    My performance on it could be better of course, but generally i think Examiner will get his pass rate a bit higher this time as he always hopes 🙂

    It was quite straightforward, the consolidation of subsidiary and associate was easy! Q2, was alright, both my SCI and SOFP tied up. Q3 was time consuming. Q4 the provisions definition for 6 marks was a gift. However the hamlet loan question was a bit tricky. Q5 was a gift!

    i thought it was straight forward in terms of what the questions wanted. but i thought a lot of the notes where difficult to work out what they wanted and included some things i have not studied before. hopefully done enough to pass id take 51% any day!

    made a blunder in question 1…accounted for intangible assets at acquisition date but didn’t account for it at reporting date due to which didn’t calculate amortisation 🙂
