The following additional information should be taken into account in so far as it is
relevant:
i. Gitugu bought 320 million ordinary shares in Moran on 1 August 2022, when the other
equity reserves of Moran were N$20 million and the retained earnings of Moran were
N$132 million. The consideration was agreed at N$800 million. This was satisfied by the
4

issue of 200 million equity shares by Gitugu at an agreed fair valuation of N$750 million,
plus N$S0 million to be paid by Gitugu on 31 July 2023 if the profit target for the year
(N$15 million) was met by Moran. The contingent element of the consideration was
recorded at its fair value of N$38 million at 1 August 2022. As it turned out, significant
losses were incurred by Moran in the year to 31 July 2023. Consequently, nothing is
payable by Gitugu on 31 July 2023 under this part of the deal. No entry has been made by
Gitugu to reflect this change in expectation.
ii. The group accounting policy is to value any Non-Controlling Interests (NCI} at their fair
value at the acquisition date. On the date, Gitugu acquired its interest in Moran, the fair
value of the NCI in Moran was N$130 million.
iii. At 1 August 2022, some equipment held by Moran had a fair value N$25 million in excess
of its carrying value. This equipment had a remaining useful economic life of 5 years at
that date.
iv. Gitugu bought a 30% holding in the ordinary shares of Kahuti on 1 August 2022, when the
other equity reserves of Kahuti were N$75 million and the retained earnings balance in
Kahuti' books stood at N$60 million. The consideration consisted of an immediate cash
payment of N$112 million. Gitugu exerts significant influence over Kahuti as a result of
this shareholding. Other investments are held by all three companies. These are equity
investments and not more than 5% of the issued share capital is held in any of these
individual entities.
v. During the financial year ended 31 July 2023, Moran sold goods to Gitugu for N$30 million.
These goods were sold at a mark-up on cost of 100%. Of these goods, 40% of these goods
remained in the inventory of Gitugu at 31 July

vi. 2023: N$2.S million of the cost of these goods remains unpaid by Gitugu at 31 July 2023.
(vi) No dividends were paid or proposed in the year by any of the companies.
vii. Due to the unexpected losses incurred by Moran during the year, an impairment review
was undertaken on 31 July 2023 and goodwill was found to be impaired by 60% of its
acquisition value. There was no impairment necessary in respect of the investment in
Kahuti.
Note: All workings should be rounded to the nearest N $0.lm.
REQUIRED:
a) Prepare the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position for the Gitugu group as at 31
July 2023 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. (24 marks)
b) IFRS3 - Business Combinations permits two methods for valuing non-controlling interest
at acquisition. Discuss how the initial calculation and subsequent treatment of goodwill
arising on the acquisition of Moran would have differed had the non-controlling interest
been measured using the proportionate share of the identifiable net assets at the
acquisition date.
(3 marks)
c) Recalculate the goodwill on this basis.
