    TOTAL EQUITY AND LIABILITIES 6,655,000 2,861,000 1,350,000

    Acquisition of Blue Ltd
    On 1 March 2019, Apple acquired 30% of the ordinary shares of Blue for a cash consideration
    of N$600 million when the fair value of Blue’s identifiable net assets was N$1,840 million.
    Apple treated Blue as an associate and has equity accounted for Blue up to 1 March 2021.
    Apple’s share of Blue’s undistributed profit amounted to N$90 million and its share of a
    revaluation gain amounted to N$10 million. On 1 March 2021, Apple acquired a further 40%
    of the ordinary shares of Blue for a cash consideration of N$975 million and gained control of
    the company. The cash consideration has been added to the equity accounted balance for
    Blue at 1 March 2021 to give the carrying amount at 28 February 2022.

    At 1 March 2021, the fair value of the equity interest in Blue held by Apple before the business
    combination was N$705 million and the fair value of the non-controlling interest of 30% was
    assessed as N$620 million. The retained earnings and other components of equity of Blue at
    1 March 2021 were N$900 million and N$70 million respectively. It is group policy to measure
    the non-controlling interest at fair value. A non-depreciable land in the books of Blue was
    undervalued by 266 million on 1 March 2021.

    At the time of the business combination with Blue, Apple had included in the fair value of Blue’s
    identifiable net assets, an unrecognized contingent liability of N$6 million in respect of a
    warranty claim in progress against Blue. In June 2021, there was a revision of the estimate of
    the liability to N$5 million. The amount has met the criteria to be recognized as a provision in
    current liabilities in the financial statements of Blue and the revision of the estimate is deemed
    to be a measurement period adjustment.

    Apple had commissioned an independent valuation of a building of Blue which was not
    complete at 1 March 2021 and therefore not considered in the fair value of the identifiable net
    assets at the acquisition date. The valuations were received on 1 July 2021 and resulted in a
    decrease of N$40 million in the fair value of property, plant and equipment at the date of
    acquisition. This decrease does not affect the fair value of the non-controlling interest at
    acquisition and has not been entered into the financial statements of Blue. Buildings are
    depreciated on the straight-line basis and it is group policy to leave revaluation gains on
    disposal in equity. The building had a remaining useful life of 20 years at 1 March 2021
    Acquisition of Colt Ltd

    On 1 March 2021, Apple acquired 80% of the equity interests of Colt, a private entity, in
    exchange for the following consideration:
    ? Cash payment of N$300 million
    ? Transfer of a building to previous shareholders. The carrying amount of the building at
    1 March 2021 was N$200 million while as the fair value fair value was N$250 million.
    ? Apple will pay an additional N$181.5 million to the previous shareholders after 2 years.

    Because the former shareholders of Colt needed to dispose of the investment quickly, they
    did not have sufficient time to market the investment to many potential buyers. The fair value
    of the identifiable net assets was N$960 million. Apple determined that the fair value of the
    20% non-controlling interest in Colt at that date was N$250 million. Apple reviewed the
    procedures used to identify and measure the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and to
    measure the fair value of both the non-controlling interest and the consideration transferred.
    After that review, Colt determined that the procedures and resulting measures were
    appropriate. The retained earnings and other components of equity of Colt at 1 March 2021
    were N$300 million and N$40 million respectively. The excess in fair value is due to an
    unrecognized franchise right, which Apple had granted to Colt on 1 March 2013 for five years.
    At the time of the acquisition, the franchise right could be sold for its market price.
    Additional information
    ? Ignore tax
    ? Assume an appropriate discount rate of 10%
    ? It is the policy of Apple Group to measure the non-controlling interest at their fair value.
    ? All goodwill arising on acquisitions has been impairment tested with no impairment
    being required.

    Requirement: Prepare the consolidation the consolidated statement of financial position for
    the Apple Group for the year ended 28 February 2022.

    3. Goodwill calculations
    3.1 Blue Ltd

    Apples Ltd’s holding (investment) at fair value
    – Cost of additional investment 975 000 000
    – Fair value of existing interest 705 000 000
    NCI value at acquisition date 620 000 000
    = 2 300 000 000
    Less Fair value of net assets at acquisition date(W 2.2.1) (2 217 000 000)
    Goodwill at acquisition = 83 000 000

    3.2 Colt Ltd
    Apples Ltd’s holding (investment) at fair value
    – Cash payment 300 000 000
    – FV of building transferred 250 000 000
    – Deferred payment at PV(181.5mil x 0.826446281) 150 000 000
    NCI value at acquisition date 250 000 000
    = 950 000 000

    Less Fair value of net assets at acquisition date (W 2.2.2) (960 000 000)
    Gain from bargain at acquisition = -10 000 000

    Total goodwill: 83 000 000 – 10 000 000 = 73 000 000

    4. NCI calculations
    4.1 Blue Ltd

    NCI value at acquisition 620 000 000
    NCI % share of post-acquisition 27 300 000
    (91 000 000 x 30%)
    = 647 300 000

    4.2 Cold Ltd
    NCI value at acquisition 250 000 000
    NCI % share of post-acquisition 6 000 000
    (30 000 000 x 20%)
    = 256 000 000

    Total NCI: 647 300 000 + 256 000 000 = 903 300 000

    5 Group retained earnings calculation
    5.1 Blue Ltd
    Apple Ltd’s retained earnings 3 340 000 000
    Apple Ltd’s % of post-acquisition
    Blue: (91 000 000 x 70%) 63 700 000
    Colt Ltd (30 000 000 x80%) 24 000 000
    Finance cost on deferred payment(150 mil x 10%) (15 000 000)
    Gain from bargain purchase 1 000 000
    Depreciation 2 000 000
    = 3 415 700 000
