    Dear Mike,

    I don’t understand the calculation of “Acquisition of further interest” part in Working 1.
    Especially what is “Transfer to equity 10/30”? what is 10/30? How 16.03 was calculated?

    Thanks!

    Rose originally bought 70% and is now buying a further 10 of the nci’s 30% – and that’s where the 10/30 comes from.

    Having valued the increase in the value of Petal since acquisition, 30% of that increase is attributable to the nci ie 30% x 48.1 million = 16.03

    That’s ok too – it really should be a separate part of equity so technically your way is fine.
