Learning Unit 1: IFRS 3 Business Combinations


Learning Objectives: My notes
• Determine if a transaction is a business combination by
applying the definitions of IFRS 3.
• Recognise and measure the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed in a business combination at
acquisition date.
• Measure the consideration transferred in a business
combination.
• Recognise and measure non- controlling interest.
• Recognise and measure goodwill or gain from bargain
purchase.
Material used for this learning unit:
• Chapters 1, 2 and 3 of the prescribed textbook.
How to prepare for this learning unit:
• Study the relevant chapters in your prescribed textbook
together with the summarised notes below and the
examples.

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)

3. Accounting for groups


The group is seen as a single economic entity as the parent can control the policy and
management of the subsidiary. In the statement of financial position of the parent, the
investment in its subsidiaries is reflected as a non-current asset. However, it is highly probable
that the value of the investment may have changed since the initial purchase of shares in the
subsidiary. As a result, the statement of financial position may not accurately reflect the
activities of the group.

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).

Consolidated financial statements consist of:


• A statement of financial position
• A statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income
• A statement of changes in equity
• A statement of cash flows

Consolidated financial statements need not be prepared


IFRS 10 allows a parent not to present consolidated financial statements if it meets ALL of the
following criteria:
• It is a wholly-owned subsidiary or it is a partially-owned subsidiary of another entity
and all its other owners (including those not otherwise entitled to vote) do not object to
the parent not preparing consolidated financial statements; and
• Its securities (debt and equity instruments) are not publicly traded; and
• It is not in the process of issuing any class of instruments to the public; and
• The ultimate or any intermediate parent publishes consolidated financial statements
available for public use that comply with International Financial Reporting Standards
(IFRS).

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.

Accounting provisions relating to group financial statements


• The group financial statements should be a true reflection of the state of affairs of the
parent and subsidiaries at reporting date
• Elimination of the carrying amount of the parent’s investment in the subsidiary
• Elimination of unrealised profits because of transactions within the group
• Elimination of intragroup balances

© The Independent Institute of Education (Pty) Ltd 2023 Page 17 of 101


IIE Module Guide FIAC6212

Consolidation of a wholly-owned subsidiary at the date of


acquisition
Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition or purchase method.
The following steps to need to applied:
• Identify the acquirer
• Determine the acquisition date
• Recognise and measure the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any
non-controlling interest in the acquire
• Recognise and measure goodwill or gain from a bargain purchase

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.

How to prepare for this learning unit:
• Study the relevant chapters in your prescribed textbook
together with the summarised notes below and the
examples.

1.Introduction

If an entity (parent) controls another entity (subsidiary), the parent shall prepare consolidated
financial statements. The consolidation process begins with combining like items of assets,
liabilities, equity, income, and expenses, on a line-by-line basis, of the parent and subsidiary
as they appear in the separate financial statements.

The procedures to follow to draft group financial statements:


1. Elimination of common items
2. Elimination of intercompany items
3. Consolidation of remaining items

Elimination of common items


The investment account in the parent’s records (asset) is a claim against the net assets of the
subsidiary represented by its equity. Therefore, the two items are mirror images of the same
item and must be eliminated in the new group. The group is regarded as one economic entity
and will not enter into transactions with itself.

Consolidation of a wholly-owned subsidiary after the date of


acquisition
All profits that the subsidiary makes after the date of acquisition become profits of the group
and should therefore be included in the consolidated annual financial statements. All
components of equity of a subsidiary which was formed after the date of acquisition form part
of the total equity of the group.

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.

A consolidation worksheet referred to as the analysis of owners’ equity can be prepared to


combine the separate financial statements of the parent and its subsidiary, prepare the pro-
forma consolidation journal entries and including the remaining non-common items.

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.

Consolidation of a partly-owned subsidiary after the date of


acquisition
The consolidation process referred to in the examples above are still applicable to the partly-
owned subsidiary. However, an additional separate calculation is done for the non-controlling
interest. The profit attributable to the non-controlling owners is disclosed separately on the
consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income and in the
consolidated statement of changes in equity.

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.

Consolidation of a complex group (horizontal groups).


A parent together with its subsidiaries forms a group of entities. Complex groups can be
divided into horizontal, vertical, and mixed groups.

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.

Learning Unit 3: IFRS 10 – Intragroup transactions


Learning Objectives: My notes
• Calculate the unrealised profit on the disposal of assets
within a group.
• Prepare pro-forma journal entries for the consolidation
of a simple and complex group (horizontal group).
Material used for this learning unit:
• Chapters 5 and 6 of the prescribed textbook.
How to prepare for this learning unit:
• Study the relevant chapters in your prescribed textbook
together with the summarised notes below and the
examples.

There are three types of intragroup sales within a group of companies:


▪ Sale of inventories
▪ Sale of non-depreciable property
▪ Sale of depreciable property, plant, and equipment

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.

Intragroup transactions within a group


Sales of inventories and other assets frequently take place between entities in a group. This
is a benefit of a business combination as the group benefits from the synergies. The entity
selling the asset will record the sale and reflect the profit (if any) in its individual profit or loss.
From the perspective of the group, one cannot sell goods and make a profit out of oneself.
The profit cannot be recognised until the inventories or other assets are sold to a third party
outside the group or used. Only then is the profit realised from the perspective of the group as
an entity. Profits or losses resulting from intragroup transactions that are recognised as part
of the cost price of assets, such as fixed assets and inventories, are eliminated in full.

© The Independent Institute of Education (Pty) Ltd 2023 Page 36 of 101


IIE Module Guide FIAC6212

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.

Property, plant and equipment held by companies within a group


The profit realised when an asset belonging to one company in the group is sold to another
company in the group should be eliminated. The company which purchased the asset will be
providing too much depreciation as the profit is included in the cost price of the asset in its
records. This portion of the depreciation should be written back for consolidation purposes.
The unrealised profit on assets is realised by the sale of the asset to a party outside the group
or through use of the asset as the rate of depreciation.

The following situations may arise where assets are sold within a group:
• The parent sells non-depreciable assets to the subsidiary
• The parent sells depreciable assets to the subsidiary
• The subsidiary sells non-depreciable assets to the parent
• The subsidiary sells depreciable assets to the parent.

Learning Unit 4: IFRS 10 – Interim acquisition of a


subsidiary
Learning Objectives: My notes
• Allocate the profit of a subsidiary in the year of
acquisition between ‘pre’ and ‘post’ acquisition profits.
Material used for this learning unit:
• Chapters 4 and 8 of the prescribed textbook.
How to prepare for this learning unit:
• Study the relevant chapters in your prescribed textbook
together with the summarised notes below and the
examples.

1. Introduction
The purchase of an interest in a subsidiary at a date other than the accounting date is known
as an interim acquisition of a subsidiary.

Income and expenditure items must be examined individually in order to determine the basis
on which each item should be apportioned between the period before acquisition and the
period since acquisition.

Dividends are only recognised when declared. Ordinary dividends declared are year-end
items and fall into the post-acquisition period.

NB: Interim dividends declared and paid during the financial year!

Preference dividends should be accounted for on a time basis. The preference dividends must
be accounted for even if it has not been declared.

Learning Unit 5: IFRS 10 – Ordinary and Preference


shares
Learning Objectives: My notes
• Calculate an ordinary dividend declared or paid by a
subsidiary in the consolidated financial statements of a
group.
• Record any ordinary dividend declared or paid by a
subsidiary in the consolidated financial statements of a
group.
• Record any preference dividends declared or paid by a
subsidiary in the consolidated financial statements of a
group.
• Record arrear cumulative preference dividends payable
or paid by a subsidiary in the consolidated financial
statements of a group.
Material used for this learning unit:
• Chapter 6 of the prescribed textbook.
How to prepare for this learning unit:
• Study the relevant chapters in your prescribed textbook
together with the summarised notes below and the
examples.

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.

2. Preference share capital and preference dividends


Preference shares carry a fixed dividend percentage. When adequate profits are available,
these shares have a preference right to dividends. This means that preference shares enjoy
certain preferential rights:
• Preferential rights in respect of dividends (expressed as a percentage of the value of
the share)
• If the subsidiary is liquidated, preference owners will receive a maximum amount
• Preferential claim to the profit of the company whilst the balance is attributable to the
ordinary shares. If the preference shares are cumulative, ordinary shares may not
receive a dividend in the current reporting period unless a preference dividend is
declared.

Classification of preference shares


Non-cumulative
The preference share owners are not entitled to payment of arrear dividends.

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.

The calculation of the non-controlling interests is affected in the consolidated statement of


profit or loss and other comprehensive income and statement of financial position if
preference shares are held in the subsidiary.

IIE Module Guide FIAC6212

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

A subsidiary has the following share capital:


• 50 000 10% preference shares of R1 each

• 100 000 ordinary shares of R1 each

Retained earnings at acquisition R100 000 (01/01/2019)


Retained earnings at beginning year R175 000 (01/01/2022)
Net profit for the year R 50 000 (31/12/2022)

The holding company owns:


• 30% of preference shares, purchased for R20 000

• 80% of ordinary shares, purchased for R190 000

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.

Treatment of preference dividends of subsidiary


Accumulated preference dividends at acquisition of subsidiary

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.

Learning Unit 6: Related Parties (IAS 24)


Learning Objectives: My notes
• Define a related-party and a related party transaction
• Present related-parties and related-party transactions in
the annual financial statements.
• Disclose related-parties and related-party transactions
in the annual financial statements.
Material used for this learning unit:
• Study notes
How to prepare for this learning unit:
• Study the following notes (below) and related examples

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

© The Independent Institute of Education (Pty) Ltd 2023 Page 78 of 101


IIE Module Guide FIAC6212

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.

Disclosure of key management personnel compensation


An entity should disclose key management personnel compensation in total and for each of
the following categories:
• Short-term employee benefits;
• Post-employment benefits;
• Other long-term benefits;
• Termination benefits; and
• Share-based payments

Disclosure of related-party transactions


A related party transaction is a transfer of resources, services, or obligations between related
parties, regardless of whether a price is charged. Examples include:
• Purchases or sales of goods (finished or unfinished) or other assets
• Rendering or receiving services
• Leases
• Provision of finance

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,

© The Independent Institute of Education (Pty) Ltd 2023 Page 79 of 101


IIE Module Guide FIAC6212

• Key management personnel of the entity or its parent, and


• Other related parties

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. Identifying related parties


In considering each possible related-party relationship, attention is directed to the substance
of the relationship and not merely its legal form.

4.1 The entity and the reporting entity are members of the same group

P Ltd
80% 70%

S1 Ltd S2 Ltd

In the separate financial statements of holding company P Ltd, both subsidiaries, S1 Ltd and
S2 Ltd will be disclosed as related parties as they are controlled by P Ltd.
In the separate financial statements of S1 Ltd, holding company P Ltd will be a related party
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.

Therefore, P Ltd must disclose all transactions between P Ltd and S Ltd and between P Ltd
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
must disclose all transactions between P Ltd and A Ltd.
▪ S Ltd is a related party of A Ltd, as S Ltd is a member of the group of which A Ltd is
also a member.

Learning Unit 7: Earnings per share (IAS 33)


Learning Objectives: My notes
• Calculate, present and disclose basic earnings per
share and diluted earnings per share for a company.
• Identify situations where new issue of shares during the
year result in the calculation of weighted average
number of shares.
• Calculate, present and disclose dividends per share for
a company.
Material used for this learning unit:
• Study notes
How to prepare for this learning unit:
• Study the following notes (below) and related examples

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.

Basic earnings per share is calculated as follows:


Profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent company (“earnings”)
Weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period

IIE Module Guide FIAC6212

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.

Required:
Calculate the basic earnings per share for Square Ltd for the financial years ending 31
December 2022 and 2021.

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".

© The Independent Institute of Education (Pty) Ltd 2023 Page 87 of 101


IIE Module Guide FIAC6212

"Shares outstanding" is equivalent to "shares issued"


The time weighting factor is the number of days that the specific shares are outstanding as a
proportion of the total number of days in the period. A reasonable approximation of the
weighted average is adequate in many circumstances.

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.

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

The issued share capital was as follows:


Ordinary shares
Issued on incorporation 2 000 000 amounting to R3 600 000
30 June 2020 1 000 000 amounting to R2 000 000

31 December 2021 100 000 amounting to R200 000

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.

3.3
Capitalisation or bonus issue

Ordinary shares are issued to existing shareholders for no additional consideration. No


new cash resources are contributed to the company as existing reserves are capitalised. The
number of ordinary shares outstanding before the event is adjusted for the proportionate
change in the number of ordinary shares outstanding as if the event had occurred at the
beginning of the earliest period presented.

Question 6

Ellipse Ltd had the following number of issued shares at 31 August:

2022 2021
Ordinary shares – R1 250 000 (2021 – R500 000) 5 000 000 2 000 000
10% cumulative preference shares – R250 000 250 000 250 000
(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.

© The Independent Institute of Education (Pty) Ltd 2023 Page 90 of 101


IIE Module Guide FIAC6212

• 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:

𝑭𝒂𝒊𝒓 𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒖𝒆 𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒎𝒎𝒆𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒍𝒚 𝒑𝒓𝒊𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒙𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒊𝒔𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔


𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒍 𝒆𝒙 − 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔 𝒇𝒂𝒊𝒓 𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒖𝒆 𝒑𝒆𝒓 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒆

The following formula can be used to calculate the theoretical ex-rights fair value per share:

𝑭𝒂𝒊𝒓 𝒗𝒂𝒍𝒖𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒔 (𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒆𝒙𝒆𝒓𝒄𝒊𝒔𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔) +


𝒕𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍 𝒂𝒎𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒆𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒅 𝒇𝒓𝒐𝒎 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔 𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒖𝒆
𝑵𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒔 𝒐𝒖𝒕𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒃𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔 𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒖𝒆 +
𝒏𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒔 𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒖𝒆𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒓𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕𝒔 𝒊𝒔𝒔𝒖𝒆

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.

Additional information:

1. On 30 December 2021 Prism Ltd had a rights issue of one ordinary share for every
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
amounting to R2 000 000. The authorised share capital was fully issued at the time of
incorporation.
On 1 June 2022 the ordinary shares were doubled without any cash inflows and on
1 September 2022 a further 1 800 000 ordinary shares were issued for cash at R1 080 000
and all the legal requirements had been met.

Required:

statements of Sphere Ltd for the year ended 31 December 2022 to comply with the
requirements of IFRS.

Diluted earnings per share

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.
© The Independent Institute of Education (Pty) Ltd 2023 Page 94 of 101
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.

Diluted earnings per share


The number of ordinary shares should be the weighted average number of ordinary shares
used for the calculation of basic earnings per share plus the weighted average number of
ordinary shares which would be issued on the conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary
shares into ordinary shares.
Potential ordinary shares should be deemed to have been converted into ordinary shares at
the beginning of the period or, if the potential ordinary shares were issued later, the date of
the issue of the potential ordinary shares. Potential ordinary shares that have been
converted into ordinary shares during the reporting period are included in the calculation of
diluted earnings per share from the beginning of the period to the date of conversion. From
the date of conversion, the resulting ordinary shares are included in both basic and diluted
earnings per share.

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

Circle Ltd issued the following on 1 July 2021:


• 1 000 000 ordinary shares
• 50 000 15% cumulative preference shares amounting to R500 000, which are
convertible in 2022 into 4 ordinary shares for each convertible preference share held.
Basic earnings for the year ended 30 June 2022 was R925 000.

Required:

the year ended 30 June 2022 in accordance with IFRS.

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.

Presentation and disclosure

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.

An entity shall disclose the following:


• The amounts used as the numerators in calculating basic and diluted earnings per
share.
• A reconciliation of the basic and diluted earnings to profit or loss attributable to the
parent for the year.
• The weighted average number of ordinary shares used as the denominator in
calculating basic and diluted earnings per share and a reconciliation of these
denominators to each other.
• Instruments (including contingently issuable shares) that could potentially dilute basic
EPS in the future but were not included in the calculation of diluted EPS because they
are anti-dilutive for the period(s) presented.
• A description of ordinary share transactions or potential ordinary share transactions
other than those accounted for in accordance with IAS 33 that occur after the statement
of financial position date and that would have significantly changed the number of
ordinary shares or potential ordinary shares outstanding at the end of the period if
those transactions had occurred before the end of the period.
For example: shares issued for cash, redemption of ordinary shares outstanding, an
issue of options, etc.

IIE Module Guide FIAC6212

Dividends 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 declared/proposed after year-end but before authorisation of financial statements


must be disclosed in the notes together with the related amount per share. Furthermore, this
may not be recognised as a liability at the reporting date under review as there is no present
obligation.

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
December 2021:

2022 2021
Ordinary shares R5 000 000 (2021: R2 000 000) 20 000 000 8 000 000
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

Learning Unit 8: IFRS for Small and Medium Enterprises


Learning Objectives: My notes
• Identify small and medium enterprises as defined by the
IASB.
• Identify the characteristics of small and medium
enterprises.
• Identify which entities must not assert compliance with
IFRS for SMEs.
• Explain the differences between full IFRS and IFRS for
SMEs.
Material used for this learning unit:
• Prescribed notes

How to prepare for this learning unit:


• Study the following notes (below) and related examples

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).

2.Small and medium enterprises


Any company of any size is eligible to use the IFRS for SMEs provided it does not have public
accountability and publishes general-purpose financial statements for external users such as
creditors and the government. Although there is no size test in the IFRS for SMEs, the local
authorities in a jurisdiction can add one if it wishes to do so. It is intended for use by small and
medium entities.

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.

IIE Module Guide FIAC6212

3. Characteristics of small and medium enterprises


Small and medium-size enterprises can be defined as any enterprise with the following
characteristics:
• Fewer than 200 employees
• Annual turnover of less than R64 million
• Capital assets of less than R10 million
• Direct managerial involvement by owners

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.

4. Audit reporting considerations


A precondition for the execution of an audit is that management of an entity to be audited must
determine an acceptable financial reporting framework for the entity. It is the responsibility of
the auditor to assess whether the framework applied is appropriate.
The IFRS for SMEs may constitute an acceptable financial reporting framework for entities
within the scope of the IFRS for SMEs as issued by the APB. It is also a fair presentation
framework. Therefore, an auditor can express an opinion that financial statements are
presented fairly, in all material respects, in accordance with the IFRS for SMEs.

5. How is IFRS for SMEs different from the full IFRS?


IFRS for SMEs is simpler and shorter than the full IFRS. IFRS for SMEs is also different to the
full IFRS due to the following:
• Standards that are not relevant to smaller SMEs are omitted e.g., earnings per share,
interim financial reporting and segment reporting;
• The recognition and measurement principles for assets, liabilities, expenses and
income are simplified and
• The disclosure requirements are significantly less.

Question 1

Global financial reporting standards, applied consistently, enhance the comparability of


financial information. High quality global financial reporting standards improve the efficiency
of allocation and the pricing of capital. These standards also improve consistency in audit
quality and facilitate education and training.
Therefore, the benefits of global financial reporting standards are not limited to entities
whose securities are traded in public capital markets, but the judgement of the IASB state
that SMEs and those who use their financial statements can benefit from a common set of
accounting standards.

Required:
What are the reasons that SMEs prepare and present financial statements that are
comparable from one country to the next?

Question 2

The IFRS for SMEs is intended for non-publicly accountable entities that publish general
purpose financial statements for external users.

Required:
Who are the main groups of external users?

Question 3

Select any 2 of the following IFRS and compare it to the IFRS for SMEs making note of the
key differences between the standards:
IAS 1; IAS 2; IAS 16; IAS 23; IAS 36, IAS 38; IAS 40;
