Hi my Dear Tutor, I have a question relating to contingent consideration, loan note and immediate cash
Sometimes there has been given INVESTMENTS or FINANCIAL ASSET:EQUITY INVESTMENT.
i always see IMMEDIATE CASH PAY AND LOAN NOTE IS DEDUCTED FROM THIS INVESTMENT.
The question has been taken from Becker Revision Question Bank page number 37
Parentis , a public listed company, acquired 600 million equity shares in offspring on 1 April 2015.the purchase consideration was made up of:
1)A share exchange of one share in Parentis for two shares in offspring
2) the issue of $ 100 10% loan note for every 500 shares acquired
3)defferred cash payment of $0.11 per share acquired payable on 1 April 2016Parentis has only recorded the issue of the loan notes.The value of each PArentis share at date of acquisition was $0.75 and Parentis has a cost of capital of 10% per annum.

Hi Dear Tutor, I have a question.
The question has been taken from Becker revision question bank page number 125
On 1 April 2016, Polestar acquired 75% of the equity share capital of Southstar.Southstar had been experiencing difficult trading conditions and making significant losses. In allowing for Southstar’s difficulties, Polestar made an immediate cash payment of only $1.50 per share. In addition, Polestar will pay a further amount in cash on 30 september 2017 if Southstar returns to profitability by that date.The value of this contingent consideration at the date of acquisition was estimated to be 1.8 million but at 30 September 2016 in the light of continuing losses, its value was estimated at only 1.5 million.The contingent consideration has not been recorded by Polestar.Overall, the directors of Polestar expect the acquisition to be a bargain purchase leading to negative goodwill

I don’t see any loan note in the second example!
We have in:
Parentis:
unrecorded deferred cash
unrecorded share issue and
recorded loan note
Polestar:
unrecorded contingent deferred cash and
recorded cash paid
In Parentis, the RECORDED loan note is deducted from Parentis’ Investments and …
… in Polestar, the RECORDED cash paid is deducted from Polestar’s Investments
Where’s the confusion?
