Q JUNE 2012 SOFP assets INvestment in Hail 55. (i) On 1 June 2010, Robby acquired 80% of the equity interests of Hail. The purchase consideration comprised cash of $50 million. Robby has treated the investment in Hail at fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI). A dividend received from Hail on 1 January 2012 of $2 million has similarly been credited to OCI. It is Robby’s policy to measure the non-controlling interest at fair value and this was $15 million on 1 June 2010. On 1 June 2010, the fair value of the identifiable net assets of Hail were $60 million and the retained earnings of Hail were $16 million. The excess of the fair value of the net assets is due to an increase in the value of non-depreciable WORKING Hail $m Fair value of consideration for 80% interest 50·00 Fair value of non-controlling interest 15·00 Fair value of identifiable net assets acquired (60·00) –––––– Goodwill 5·00 On consolidation, there will be a reversal of the fair value adjustments to the investment held at fair value through profit and LOSS.
