This guide has been developed to support your use of the prescribed material for this module.
There may be occasions when the prescribed material does not provide sufficient detail
regarding a particular idea or principle. In such instances, additional detail may be included in
the guide. However, this guide should not be used as a stand-alone textbook, as the bulk of
the information you will need to engage with will be covered in the prescribed material. You
will not pass this module if you only use the module guide to study from. Various activities and
revision questions are included in the learning units of this guide. These are designed to help
you to engage with the subject matter as well as to help you prepare for your assessments.
This module guide contains further important information on what the module encompasses
and what you can expect to learn from this module. A module pacer is also provided with
guidance on what will be covered during the semester and the timing of each topic. This must
be used by you to plan for every lecture in advance by doing pre-reading on the topic to be

Introduction
Welcome to the second-year module Financial Accounting 2B (FIAC6212). You will find the
following information useful for your understanding of the module for this semester.
The purpose of this module is for students to prepare group financial statements in accordance
with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and to demonstrate an understanding
of selected International Financial Reporting Standards.
This module introduces students to group financial reporting, which is continued in the third
year. Earnings per share (IAS 33), related parties (IAS 24) and IFRS for Small and Medium
Enterprises (SME’s) are the other smaller topics covered in this module.
Financial Accounting is a very important aspect of both your studying and working career and
is one of the four subjects that you will need to pass in PGDA to graduate and commence your
articles. Financial Accounting in second year forms the vital foundation to third year Financial
Accounting and ultimately PGDA, so you need to establish an excellent foundation during this
year.
• Introduction to group annual financial statements (IFRS 3; IFRS 10; IAS 27)
• Related parties (IAS 24)
• Earnings per share (IAS 33)
• IFRS for Small and Medium Enterprises (SME’s)

1. Introduction
The tendency in the business world over the years has been to form bigger entities for various
reasons such as investing in suppliers to manage risks and gain easier access to resources
or gain access to required manpower/skills. This can also take place when an entity combines
with other entities. The result being the formation of larger entities and groups of companies.
A business combination is defined as a transaction or event in which an acquirer obtains
control of one or more businesses. This will result in a parent-subsidiary relationship where
the parent is the acquirer and the subsidiary is the acquiree, commonly referred to as a group.
The basic characteristic of the group is that management of the parent and subsidiary is
coordinated in such a way that they are managed on a central and unified basis in the interest
of the group. This is possible because of the control which the parent exercises over its
subsidiaries.
An investor (parent) controls an investee (subsidiary) when the investor is exposed to, or has
rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the investee and can affect those returns
through its power over the investee. A parent can obtain control over a subsidiary if the parent
holds a majority of the shares of a subsidiary.
(In FIAC6212 it will be assumed that control is obtained by the possession of 50% or more of
the shares and voting right of a company)

In order for the shareholders of the parent to gain a better understanding of the assets,
liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the group, a single set of annual
financial statements should be prepared for the group. Consolidated financial statements are
financial statements of a group presented as those of a single economic entity. All entities
under the control of the parent are included in the consolidated financial statements.
These consolidated financial statements show that the investment in the parent’s statements
is replaced by the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary (represents these investments).
However, certain adjustments are necessary in order to represent these combined amounts
as a single economic unit (will be covered later in this module).
A parent that selects, in terms of the above-mentioned, not to present consolidated financial
statements, may present separate financial statements as its only financial statements.
When the parent obtains an interest in the subsidiary, the following situations can arise:
1. Acquisition at net asset value: the price paid by the parent for the investment in the
subsidiary is equivalent to the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired.
2. Goodwill: the price paid for the investment is higher than the fair value of assets and
liabilities acquired. This is also known as acquisition at a premium.
NB. Goodwill shall not be amortised!
3. Gain from a bargain purchase: the price paid for the investment is lower than the fair
value of assets and liabilities acquired. This is also known as acquisition at a discount
and is recognised at acquisition date in profit or loss.

As consolidation takes place after the date of acquisition of the interest in the subsidiary, the
full set of financial statements must be consolidated, namely the statements of financial
position, statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and statements of
changes in equity of the parent and subsidiary. The basic consolidation procedures consist of
the elimination of common items, elimination of intragroup items and consolidation of
remaining non-common items on a line-by-line basis.
Example:
P Ltd acquired a 100% interest in S Ltd on 1 January 2019.
You are required to draft the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31
December 2022.

31 December 2022.
Always highlight the retained earnings balance of the subsidiary at acquisition as these profits
do not belong to the holding company and must be bought, so it’s brought into account in the
goodwill calculation. When an interest is bought at incorporation, which is when the subsidiary
started up, the retained earnings will be zero.

Horizontal groups (also known as single-level structures) are represented by the parent itself
being the only entity owning shares in two or more subsidiaries and holds that interest directly.
Consolidation process is similar to the simple group but the interests of the subsidiaries in a
horizontal group must be analysed separately in order to determine the correct goodwill for
each subsidiary as well as the non-controlling interest in that subsidiary.

Additional information:
1. Mars Ltd purchased 120 000 shares in Venus Ltd on 1 January 2019, when Venus Ltd.’s
retained earnings amounted to R120 000. On 1 January 2020, Mars Ltd acquired 54
000 shares in Uranus Ltd, when the retained earnings of Uranus Ltd amounted to
R80 000. On both acquisition dates, Mars Ltd acquired control over the respective
companies. The fair values of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities
were considered to be equal to the carrying amounts of these items.
2. Each share carries one vote.
3. The Mars Ltd group uses the partial goodwill method to recognise goodwill. The non-
controlling interests are measured at their proportionate interest in the net identifiable
assets of the acquiree. Goodwill was not considered to be impaired at the end of the
current financial year.
4. The fair values of investments in equity instruments are equal to the cost price thereof.
The equity investments are measured at fair value through other comprehensive
income.
Required:
Prepare the consolidated annual financial statements of the Mars Ltd group for the year ended
31 December 2022.
All intragroup assets, liabilities, equity, income, and expenses relating to transactions between
entities of a group must be eliminated on consolidation. These intragroup balances are as a
result of intragroup borrowings and intragroup rendering of services.
These transactions in the separate records of the parent and subsidiary represents mirror
images of the same transaction. When the financial statements of the parent and the
subsidiary are consolidated, the group is regarded as one economic and reporting entity and
these balances are set-off. From a group’s perspective, the group cannot enter into a
transaction with itself.
The assets of a subsidiary may be revalued at the date of acquisition of the interest, where
there is a difference between the carrying amount and market values of the assets. Two
situations may arise:
1. The subsidiary’s assets may be revalued for the purposes of determining the purchase
price, without a journal entry being entered in the subsidiary’s financial records.
2. The assets of the subsidiary are revalued in order to determine the purchase price and
an adjustment is subsequently made in the subsidiary’s financial records.
The profit or loss on the sale of the asset is realised once the group realises the economic
benefits associated with the asset. If trading inventory is sold within the group, the benefits will
be realised when the inventory is sold to an outside party. If fixed assets (property, plant and
equipment) are sold within the group, the benefits will be realised by using the fixed assets.
Example:
P Ltd sells inventory to S Ltd at a cost price of R3 000 plus 20% profit. S Ltd rebrands and
repackages the inventory and sells it outside the group to O Ltd for R4 500.
Two possible situations may arise:
• All the inventories have been sold to O Ltd by the end of the year – no change to the
consolidated annual financial statements as the profit is realised by selling the inventory
outside the group.
If no inventory has been sold to O Ltd, the unrealised profit of R600 should be eliminated
as the profit has not yet been realised outside the group. This implies that S Ltd.’s
inventory includes the R600 profit and P Ltd.’s profit includes this R600 as well.
Therefore, the journal entry to process is:
Dr Cost of sales (P Ltd) R600
Cr Inventory (S Ltd) R600
• If half of the inventory has been sold outside the group, R300 should be eliminated.
NB: Determine which company is selling the inventory and which company is purchasing it.
P Ltd
S Ltd
Sells to
S Ltd

1. Introduction
A dividend represents a distribution of a portion of the company’s profits to its shareholders in
proportion to their shareholding (it is NOT an expense) and therefore, it is included in the
statement of changes in equity. The dividends accounted for in the statement of changes in
equity will always be the dividends paid/payable by the owners of the parent. This is in
accordance with the basic consolidation principle that consolidated annual financial
statements should be compiled after all the intragroup transactions have been eliminated.
As non-controlling shareholders’ share in the profit of the subsidiary before the payment of
dividends, and a dividend is paid by the subsidiary, the non-controlling shareholders have
realised part of their interest in the profit in the form of a dividend. This results in a reduction
in the credit balance of the non-controlling interests in the consolidated statement of financial
position, as less is now ‘owed’ to them.
There are five situations that could arise when dividends are paid/declared by the subsidiary:
1. Subsidiary has made no provision and does not wish to create any provision for
dividends
2. Subsidiary has paid a dividend
3. Subsidiary has made a provision for dividend declared and parent has made a
provision for dividend declared and receivable
4. Subsidiary has made a provision for dividend declared but parent has made no
provision for dividend declared and receivable
5. Provision must be made by the subsidiary for a dividend declared.

Cumulative
If an entity does not declare a dividend in a specific reporting period, a cumulative
preferential right exists that entails a right to have preference to the arrear and current
preference dividends before a dividend may be declared on any other class of shares on the
first subsequent dividend declaration. If no formal dividend is declared to the preference
owners, a dividend will accrue and become payable based on the terms of the preference
shares. It is assumed that preference shares are cumulative where it is not expressly
stipulated.
Consolidation procedures
The parent’s percentage interest in the ordinary share capital of the subsidiary is not
necessarily the same percentage as its percentage interest in the preference share capital.
(NB. It is advisable to draw up two separate analyses of owners’ equities: ordinary and
preference share capital.
CLASS EXAMPLE
At acquisition, preference dividends are two years in arrears and no dividends have been paid
to date.
Required:
Show the journal entries to record the preference shares and dividends during the
consolidation process.
The accumulated preference dividends are included in the calculation of the purchase price of
the preference share investment. Therefore, the payment is made for the preference share
dividend that will be declared later in the year. If the dividend is declared, the investment will
be reduced.

1. Introduction
Transactions between related parties are a common phenomenon in the business world e.g.
a parent company having dealings with its subsidiaries and subsidiaries doing business with
each other. Furthermore, management and their close family members frequently deal with
their own entity.
Related-party transactions could influence the profit or loss and the financial position of an
entity. Related parties may enter into transactions that unrelated parties would not enter into
e.g., a subsidiary that sells inventory to its parent at cost might not sell on the same terms to
another customer. Knowledge of these relationships and transactions may affect the economic
decisions of the users of financial statements. Therefore, in order for financial statements to
meet fair presentation, it is necessary to disclose the transactions involving the related parties
in order for users to be aware of the interrelationships between related parties.
2. Related party
A related party is a person or entity that is related to the entity that is preparing its financial
statements (reporting entity). Consideration of each possible related party transaction takes
into account the substance of the relationship and not merely the legal form.
IAS 24 determines that a person is related to an entity if that person has control or joint control
of or has significant influence over the reporting entity.
A close family member of a person that controls, jointly controls or significantly influences the
reporting entity is also regarded as a related party. These may include:
• That person’s spouse or domestic partner and children;
• Children of that person’s spouse or domestic partner; and
• Dependents of that person, or dependents of that person’s spouse or domestic partner
IAS 24 also defines that a person is related to an entity if that person is a member of the key
management personnel of the reporting entity or of the reporting entity’s parent. A close family
member of key management personnel of the reporting entity, as well as a close family
member of key management personnel of the reporting entity’s parent, is also regarded as a
related party of the reporting entity.
3. Disclosure
Disclosure of related-party relationships
IAS 24 requires that all relationships between a parent and subsidiary must be disclosed
irrespective of whether a transaction had occurred or not. An entity should disclose the name
of its parent and, if different, the ultimate controlling party. If neither the parent nor the ultimate
controlling company produce consolidated financial statements for public use, the name of the
next most senior parent who does so, should be disclosed.
Any information regarding the related-party transaction as well as any outstanding balances
for an understanding of the potential effect of the relationship must be disclosed. At a
minimum, disclosures should include;
• Nature of the relationships between the related parties,
• Amount of the transactions,
• Amount of any outstanding balances (payables and receivables must be clearly
distinguished):
- The terms and conditions, any security provided and method of settlement, and
- Details of guarantees given or received,
• Provision for doubtful debts relating to the outstanding balances,
• The expense recognised in respect of bad or doubtful debts due during the period.
These disclosures should be made separately for each of the following categories:
• Parent,
• Entities with joint control of or significant influence over the entity,
• Subsidiaries,
• Associates,
• Joint ventures in which the entity is a venturer,
Items of a similar nature must be disclosed in total except when separate disclosure is
necessary for an understanding of the related-party transaction that has occurred.
Government-related entities
A government-related entity is exempt from the disclosure requirements of IAS 24 if:
• A government has control, joint control, or significant influence over the reporting entity,
or
• Transactions with another entity that is a related party due to a common government
having control, joint control, or significant influence over both the other entity and
reporting entity.
If the exemption is applied, the entity must disclose the following:
• The name of the government and the nature of its relationship with the reporting entity
(i.e. control, joint control or significant influence); and
• The following information detailed enough to enable users of the entity’s financial
statements to understand the effect of related-party transactions on the entity:
- The nature and amount of each individually significant transaction, and
- For all transactions that are collectively, but not individually significant, a qualitative
or quantitative indication of their extent.
4.1 The entity and the reporting entity are members of the same group

as P Ltd controls S1 Ltd. S2 Ltd will also be disclosed as a related party in the separate
financial statements of S1 Ltd as it is under common control, P Ltd. Similarly, P Ltd and S1
Ltd will be related parties in the separate financial statements of S2 Ltd.

The 25% interest of H Ltd in A Ltd constitutes a significant influence. In A Ltd.’s financial
statements, H Ltd will be a related party.

and A Ltd in the financial statements. The following related parties’ transactions will have to
be disclosed in the financial statements of P Ltd:
▪ P Ltd is a related party as it exercises significant influence over A Ltd. Therefore, A Ltd

1. Introduction
Earnings per share and dividends per share are two of the ratios that are most widely used by
investors and analysts of financial statements when evaluating the profitability of a company.
The earnings per share figure is a more reliable basis for measuring performance as the
earnings are measured in relation to the capital employed to generate them. Investors can
determine the approximate value for the shares of a company by looking at the company’s
earnings and dividends per share. This enables them to assess whether the shares should be
included in their portfolio.
When an entity prepares consolidated financial statements, the earnings per share need only
be presented on the basis of consolidated financial information. If an entity chooses to disclose
earnings per share based on its own separated financial statements, it shall present such
earnings per share information only on the face of its separate statement of profit or loss and
other comprehensive income, and not in the consolidated financial statements.
2. Measurement
Basic earnings per share
Basic earnings per share refers to the profit attributable to each ordinary share. A company
should calculate basic earnings per share for profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity
holders of the parent company and, if presented, profit or loss from continuing operations
attributable to those equity holders.
Earnings
For the purpose of calculating basic earnings per share, the profit or loss attributable to
ordinary equity holders of the parent company (referred to as "earnings") must be adjusted
for:
• the effect of preference dividends,
• gains and losses on the settlement of preference shares, and
• other similar effects of preference shares classified as equity.
All items of income and expenses that are recognised in the period, including tax expenses
and non-controlling interest, are included in the determination of "earnings".
Note: Dividends on preference shares classified as a liability are included in the determination
of "earnings".
Preference dividends
The amount of preference dividends to be deducted from profit or loss for the period is:
• The amount of any preference dividends declared during the period on non-cumulative
preference shares, and
• The amount of the annual preference dividends on cumulative preference shares,
regardless of whether these dividends have been declared.
In terms of common law, preference dividends are deemed to be cumulative unless the
contrary is explicitly stated.

3.Shares
Weighted average number of shares
IAS 33 defines weighted average number of shares as "the number of ordinary shares
outstanding at the beginning of the period, adjusted by the number of ordinary shares bought
back or issued during the period multiplied by a time-weighting factor".
In most cases shares are included in the weighted average number of shares from the date
consideration is receivable (which is generally the date of their issue), for example:
• ordinary shares issued in exchange for cash are included when cash is receivable, and
• ordinary shares issued as part of the purchase consideration of a business combination is
included in the weighted average number of shares as of the date of acquisition of the
business.
Question 3
Circle Ltd has a 31 December financial year end and has 200 000 ordinary shares in issue at
the beginning of 2021. On 1 April 2021, a further 100 000 ordinary shares were issued. The
shares issued on 1 April 2021 are only entitled to the share in profits from this date onwards.
Therefore, the weighted average number of shares for December 2021 will be 275 000.
Question 4

Since incorporation the issued share capital of Rhombus Ltd is 750 000 ordinary shares
amounting to R750 000 and 1 500 000 10% cumulative preference shares amounting to
R1 500 000.
Required:
Calculate the basic earnings per share of Rhombus Ltd Group for the year ended 31
December 2021 in accordance with IFRS.
3.1
New share issues – with a change in resources (issue for value)
If shares are issued during the financial year, it would be incorrect to assume that they had
been in issue throughout the year when calculating earnings per share. Shares are included
in the weighted average number of shares from the date that the consideration is receivable
(generally the date of their issue). The number of shares in issue in the previous year must
not be weighted: the reason being that the consideration for the additional shares is received
in the current year and does not influence the calculation of the number of shares of the
previous year.
Question 5
Since incorporation, Octagon Ltd has had the following authorised share capital:
4 000 000 ordinary shares amounting to R6 000 000
500 000 8% non-cumulative preference shares amounting to R700 000
Preference shares
Profit/ (loss) after tax amounted to R1 000 000 and (R240 000) respectively for the years
ending 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2021. Since incorporation Octagon Ltd has paid a
preference dividend every year, except for the year ended 30 June 2021.
Required:
Disclose the basic earnings per share in the annual financial statements of Octagon Ltd for
the year ended 30 June 2022 to comply with the requirements of IFRS.
3.2
New share issues – without a change in resources (issue for no value)
The number of shares outstanding may be reduced, or ordinary shares may be issued without
a corresponding change in resources i.e., even though the number of shares outstanding
changed during the year, no consideration was paid or received. This means that the earnings
capacity of the company did not change. This will include, for example:
• A capitalisation or bonus issue
• Share split
• Share consolidation
• Bonus element in a rights issue to existing shareholders at less than fair value
When these types of shares are issued, the weighted average number of shares outstanding
during the period, and for all periods presented, should be adjusted for the basic EPS.

(2021 – R250 000)
During the 2022 financial year, the following changes took place in the capital structure of
Ellipse Ltd:
• On 1 March 2022 Ellipse Ltd issued 500 000 ordinary shares at R1 per share for full
value.
• On 1 June 2022 Ellipse Ltd issued 2 500 000 ordinary shares by way of a capitalisation
of reserves in the ratio of 1 share for every 1 share held.
The profit for the year amounted to R300 000 for 2022 (R225 000 for 2021). There were no
dividends in arrears at 31 August 2022 and 2021.
Required:
Disclose the basic earnings per share in the annual financial statements of Ellipse Ltd for the
year ended 31 August 2022 to comply with IFRS.
3.4
Rights Issue
Rights issues can take place at either fair value or below fair value. If an issue takes place at
fair value, it is treated as a normal new share issue. When a rights issue takes place at less
than fair value, it involves two components:
• An issue of shares for full value, and (issue for value)
• A bonus issue (issue for no value)
The number of ordinary shares to be used in calculating basic earnings per share for all
periods prior to the rights issue is the number of ordinary shares outstanding prior to the issue,
multiplied by the following adjustment factor:
The following formula can be used to calculate the theoretical ex-rights fair value per share:
Where the rights are to be publicly traded separately from the shares prior to the exercise
date, fair value for the purposes of this calculation is established at the close of business on
the last day on which the shares are traded together with the rights.

five ordinary share held, at R3 per share for cash. The market price prior to the
announcement of the rights issue was R5.25 per share. Management considered that
for the issue to be successful, they could have issued the shares at R4.50, which
was their fair value.
2. On 28 February 2022 Prism Ltd had a capitalisation issue of one ordinary share for
every three ordinary shares held.
Required:
Calculate and disclose basic earnings per share in the annual financial statements of
Prism Ltd for the year ended 31 August 2022 in accordance with IFRS.
3.5
Share splits
A share split does not affect the net asset value of the company. This arises when a
company increases the number of issued shares while the overall capital amount remains
the same. For example, 2 000 ordinary shares to the value of R2 000 may be split into 8 000
ordinary shares. The share capital remains R2 000 but the number of shares changed.
A reason for a share split is to improve the marketability of shares by making the share price
more accessible to the public.
Question 8
Sphere Ltd was incorporated in 2000 with an authorised share capital of 4 000 000 ordinary
shares amounting to R4 000 000 and 1 000 000 10% cumulative preference shares

Required:

statements of Sphere Ltd for the year ended 31 December 2022 to comply with the
requirements of IFRS.
Diluted earnings per share assist the users of financial statements to evaluate the sensitivity
of basic earnings per share regarding future changes in the capital structure of the company.
These future changes in the capital structure may either have a dilutive (decreasing earnings
per share) or anti-dilutive (increasing earnings per share) effect on future earnings per share.
For the purpose of calculating diluted earnings per share, the net profit attributable to ordinary
shareholders and the weighted average number of shares outstanding should be adjusted for
the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.
The effects of potential anti-dilutive ordinary shares are ignored in calculating diluted
earnings per share. The reason for this is that the objective is to determine the maximum
possible dilution; if the increase in earnings per share is included, then an average dilution
will be determined.
The sequence in which potential ordinary shares are considered may affect whether or not
they are dilutive. In order to maximise the dilution of basic earnings per share, each issue or
series of issues of potential ordinary shares must be considered in sequence. This results in
the most dilutive effect.

IIE Module Guide FIAC6212
Diluted earnings
The earnings should be adjusted with the after-tax amount of:
• Dividends on dilutive potential ordinary shares (e.g., preference dividends on
convertible preference shares),
• Interest recognised for dilutive potential ordinary shares (e.g., convertible
debentures), and
• Any other changes in income or expense that would result from the conversion of the
dilutive potential ordinary shares.
Convertible instruments
Convertible preference shares or convertible debentures are dilutive whenever the basic
earnings per share exceeds the amount of dividend (net of tax) and interest (net of tax), per
ordinary share obtainable on conversion.
The following adjustments need to be made when calculating diluted earnings per share:
• The earnings should be increased with the after-tax effect of interest and dividends
that will be saved in the future when the debentures/shares will be converted, and
• The weighted average number of shares should be increased with the expected
future increase in ordinary shares resulting from the conversion.
Question 9
Required:
Calculate and disclose basic earnings, earnings per share and diluted earnings per share for
the year ended 30 June 2022 in accordance with IFRS.
Question 10

On 1 September 2021, Crescent Limited issued 3 000 000 debentures amounting to R3 000
000 which bear interest at 7% per annum. The debentures may be converted on 30 June
2024 into ordinary shares at a price of R1.50 per share for every debenture converted.
The profit for the period for 2022 amounted to R825 000 (2021: R675 000). An ordinary
dividend of R300 000 for 2022 (2021: R225 000) was paid.
Assume a tax rate of 28%.
Required:
Calculate basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share in the annual financial
statements of Crescent Ltd for the year ended 31 December 2022 in accordance with IFRS.
Basic EPS and diluted EPS must be presented on the face of the statement of profit or loss
and other comprehensive income for each class of ordinary share. An entity shall present
basic EPS and diluted EPS with equal prominence for all periods presented. Basic and
diluted EPS are disclosed even if the amounts represent losses per share.
IAS1, Presentation of Financial Statements deals with the disclosure of dividends per share.
The calculation and disclosure of dividends per share is not addressed in IAS33.
In terms of IAS1, an entity must disclose the amount of dividends recognised as distribution
to the shareholders together with the related amount per share relating to the financial period
being reported. This is disclosed either on the face of the statement of changes in equity or
in the notes.
The dividends per share are calculated by dividing dividends declared for the period by the
number of shares issued (not on the weighted average number of issued shares) on the date
of the dividend declaration. Where dividends are declared more than once during the year, a
separate dividend per share must be calculated for each dividend payment. The sum of the
separate dividends per share can be disclosed in the statement of comprehensive income or
the dividends per share for each declaration can be disclosed.
Dividends per share must be disclosed in cents for each class of equity shares for the
reporting period under review and the corresponding prior period on the face of the
statement of changes in equity or in the notes to the financial statements.
Question 11
Trapezoid Ltd had the following number of shares in issue at 31 December 2022 and 31

10% cumulative preference shares R1 000 000 1 000 000 1 000 000
During 2022, the following changes in the capital structure of Trapezoid Ltd took place:
a) On 1 July 2022 the company issued 2 000 000 ordinary shares at R2 per share for
the full value.
b) On 1 October 2022 the company issued 10 000 000 ordinary shares by way of a
capitalisation of reserves in the ratio of 1 share for every 1 share held.
The profit after tax amounted to R1 200 000 for 2022 (2021: R900 000).
On 30 June 2022 Trapezoid Ltd paid an interim ordinary dividend of R160 000 (30 June
2021: R140 000) and on 31 December 2022 a final ordinary dividend of R240 000 (31

Required:
Disclose the earnings per share and dividends per share in the annual financial statements
of Trapezoid Ltd for the year ended 31 December 2022 in accordance with IFRS.
1. Introduction
Small entities globally may be operated in different formats e.g., sole traders, private
companies, partnerships etc. These small entities are usually run by one/more
shareholders/partners who along with the tax or other government authorities and financial
institutions, are the main users of financial statements produced by these entities. This means
the financial statements are prepared for limited purposes. As a result, small companies do
not have the same financial reporting needs as large companies.
The problem with applying present accounting standards to smaller entities stems from the
nature of these small entities and partly from the onerous requirements and complexity of the
existing IFRS. The IFRS for SMEs is designed for entities that are required/choose to produce
general-purpose financial statements (directed to the general financial information needs of a
wide range of users including lenders, investors, employees, and others outside the company).
All entities apart from public companies, state-owned entities and certain non-profit entities
are allowed to apply IFRS for SMEs, subject to meeting the scope requirements of the
standard.
Basset Africa was one of the first countries in the world to adopt IFRS for SMEs. According to
the Companies Act 71 of 2008, companies with a public interest score of below 350 which are
eligible to use IFSR for SMEs according to the scope requirements may use IFRS for SMEs
as their financial reporting framework.
A subsidiary that is part of a consolidated group that uses full IFRS is not prohibited from using
IFRS for SMEs in its own separate financial statements provided that the subsidiary does not
have public accountability.
A parent company assesses its eligibility to use IFRS for SMEs in its separate financial
statements on the basis of its own status, without consideration to whether other group entities
have public accountability.
