- The 5% debentures were issued 3 years before the 4% fixed charge was created and are secured by a floating charge over the inventory and receivables. The debt is repayable in 5 years time
- Included within payables are GHS8,000 arrears of wages to be paid in the scheme and GHS2,400 other preferential creditors but not yet paid.
- the scheme devised by the directors is as follows:
- the building is to be transferred to the fixed charge debenture holder in full settlement and is then to be leased back under a finance lease at the fair value of GHS70,000; the lease terms have an implicit rate of interest of 4.5% per annum and involve installments of GHS6,000 until the full amount due has been paid
- the entity has received an offer of GHS25,000 for the patents and the directors propose to impair them to that value
- inventory is to be re-valued to GHS36,000 and receivables to GHS25,000
- the GHS1 equity shares are to be cancelled and replaced by 500,000 10 pesewas equity shares, credited as to 1 pesewa each
- the directors are then to make a call on the equity shareholders for the remaining 9 pesewas per share payable immediately
- the 5% floating charge debentures are to be paid 50% of the amount due to them in cash immediately
- the remaining amount due to the floating charge debenture holders is to be cancelled and replaced by GHS27,000 6% floating charge debentures secured on the current assets, repayable in 10 years time
- the 6% preference shareholders are to forego two years outstanding dividends (not recognized in the statement of financial position), the preference shares are to be cancelled and replaced with 100,000 equity shares of 10 pesewas each credited as fully paid
- the trade payables have agreed to be settled in full by a payment of 40 pesewas in the GHS1
