    Hi Mike,

    Could you please explain the concept of ‘proportional interest in the acquirer’s entity’ and ‘proportional interest in the acquiree’s entity’ when valuing unquoted securities with the help of an example as it tends to get confusing and I can’t really understand.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    If you could tell me in what context and where you are getting these phrases then I may be able to help. The phrases don’t jump out at me immediately as to what they mean sorry.

    Thanks

    Sorry!

    I was talking about pg. 8 in the notes where it tells you how to value unquoted securities in the context of problems with the cost of acquisition.

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    i don’t think you need to worry about either of these anymore, there is much more detailed guidance available in IFRS 13 about how to value unquoted securities using a market approach, income approach, or adjusted net asset approach.

    Thanks
