TEST 1
QUESTION 1 40 marks
Top Blinds Ltd is a company that specialises in the manufacturing and installation of blinds and security
shutters. Top Blinds Ltd is listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and has a 31 December year
end.
On 1 March 2018, Top Blinds Ltd acquired a 55% controlling interest in Bamboo Ltd. Bamboo Ltd
supplies eco-friendly and sustainable products to manufacture bamboo blinds.
Top Blinds Ltd will be settling the purchase price at the dates as specified below:
On 1 March 2018 • R750 000 in cash.
• Issue of 25 000 ordinary shares in Top Blinds Ltd to the shareholders of
Bamboo Ltd.
• Issue of 70 000 mandatory redeemable, 8% cumulative R2 preference
shares in Top Blinds Ltd. The preference shares are redeemable three
years after the acquisition date, at a premium of 5% on the face value.
• Financial assets owned by Top Blinds Ltd, with a carrying amount of
R350 000 and a fair value of R420 000, transferred to the shareholders
of Bamboo Ltd.
• Included in the R750 000 cash payment is R18 500 share issue costs
related to the 25 000 issued ordinary shares and R22 300 acquisition-
related costs in respect of valuations and lawyers’ fees. Top Blinds Ltd
expensed these amounts in its separate financial statements.
On 28 February 2020 • R300 000 cash depending on the following:
• The profit before tax of Bamboo Ltd for the year ended
28 February 2020 increases by at least 5%. The fair value of this
obligation was deemed to be R165 000 on 1 March 2018 and
R185 000 on 31 December 2018.
All the assets and liabilities of Bamboo Ltd were deemed to be fairly valued at the acquisition date with
the exception of the following:
• Inventory was overvalued with R72 000. At 31 December 2018, 70% of the inventory was sold to
unrelated third parties.
• Bamboo Ltd has a unique customer list that consists of detailed information about customers. The
customer list’s terms of confidentiality prohibits Bamboo Ltd from selling this list. The fair value of
the customer list on 1 March 2018 amounted to R330 000. The customer list has an indefinite
useful life.
• Bamboo Ltd manufactures bamboo blinds that have a unique shape. Before the date of
acquisition, Bamboo Ltd incurred development costs of R220 000 concerning the development of
a trade dress (unique colour, shape and package design) for these blinds. Bamboo Ltd expensed
these development costs when incurred. The registration of the trade dress was not finalised at
the date of acquisition and the fair value was therefore estimated as R245 000 on 1 March 2018.
On 1 March 2018, it is expected that this trade dress will have a useful life of five years. The trade
dress was registered on 31 May 2018. Bamboo Ltd obtained the official valuation report on this
day which indicated that the fair value of the trade dress amounted to R280 000.
• On 1 March 2018, a liability with a fair value of R195 000 was correctly recognised in the
consolidated financial statements of the Top Blinds Ltd Group in accordance with IFRS 3. This
liability relates to a legal claim instituted against Bamboo Ltd. The previous shareholders agreed
to reimburse Top Blinds Ltd for 45% of the damages payable if the legal claim against Bamboo Ltd
is successful. The claim will not be deductible for taxation purposes should it be successful. The
fair value of the contingent liability remained unchanged at year end.
No additional assets, liabilities or contingent liabilities were identified at the acquisition date.

revaluation on investments in equity instruments that Bamboo Ltd performed during the current financial
year.

on cost. Inventory purchased from Top Blinds Ltd, still on hand at year end amounted to R185 700. Total
sales from Top Blinds Ltd to Bamboo Ltd for the current financial year amounted to R320 000. Included
in the separate records of both Top Blinds Ltd and Bamboo Ltd on 31 December 2018 is an amount of

1 July 2017, Top Blinds Ltd acquired a 30% interest in Safe Shutters Ltd for a cash consideration of
R200 000 as well as the transfer of equipment. The equipment transferred to Safe Shutters Ltd at the
date of acquisition had a carrying amount of R90 000 and a fair value of R115 000 on 1 July 2017. This
equipment had a remaining useful life of three years on 1 July 2017. In addition to the cash payment of
R200 000, Top Blinds Ltd also paid lawyers’ fees of R10 000 on 1 July 2017. From 1 July 2017,
Top Blinds Ltd exercised significant influence over the financial and operating policy decisions of
Safe Shutters Ltd. Safe Shutters Ltd’s equity consisted of the following on 1 July 2017:
All the assets and liabilities of Safe Shutters Ltd were deemed to be fairly valued at the acquisition date
and no additional assets or liabilities were identified.
During the current financial year, Safe Shutters Ltd sold inventory to Top Blinds Ltd at a gross profit
