Jocatt - Dec 2010

Aatab12y ago
Hi, Q1 December 2010 Jocatt; could you kindly help me with the following please: Jocatt purchased a subsidiary Tigret (60%). During the year Tigret made a 1 for 4 rights issue which raised $5m in cash. The NCI portion of this is $2m (5x40%) and ours is $3m (5x60%). Why do we take the NCI portion ($2m) in Jocatt's cashflow statement under financing activities please? I would think that we would have to take the $3m. Thanks!

Also, why don't you add back the 'Gains on property' of $10.5m in the beginning please? Thanks

The money raised from "outside" is the cash paid by the nci. Our 3m stays within the group, so moves from the one pocket / purse into another pocket / purse in the same trousers / hand-bag The gainS on property - is that not the gain on sale of land (9) and the profit on investment property (1.5)?

Hi, Thank you very much I understood! It makes sense now... The gains on property was my fault actually I accounted for it twice...once in the beginning when I was adding back the non-cash figures, and once after the investment property working. Thanks for your help.
