net assets of Takoradi Ltd had a fair value of GH575 million, retained earnings were GH120

million and other components of equity were GH35 million. The excess in fair value is due to

non-depreciable land. The fair value of the 14% holding of Accra Ltd in Takoradi Ltd, which

was classified as fair value through profit or loss, was GH140 million at 31 March 2017 and

GH155 million at 31 March 2018. However, the fair value of Bawku Ltds interest in Takoradi

Ltd had not changed since acquisition.

ii) On 1 April 2017, Accra Ltd acquired 60% of the equity interests of Bawku Ltd, a public

On 1 April 2017, the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired was GH975 million and

retained earnings of Bawku Ltd were GH325 million and other component of equity were
