Jonathan Ltd acquired all the issued shares (ex-div.) of Thomas Ltd on 1 July 2020 for $246 000. At this date the equity of Thomas Ltd consisted of:

Share Capital $130,000
General Reserve $50,000
Retained Earnings $40,500

At the acquisition date all the identifiable assets and liabilities of Thomas Ltd consisted of:

Carrying Amount Fair Value
Plant (Cost $230,000) $200,000 $210,000
Land $100,000 $120,000
Inventories $30,000 $38,000

The inventories were all sold by 30 June 2020. The land was sold on 1 February 2021 for $150 000. The plant was considered to have a further 5-year life. The plant was sold for $155 000 on 1 January 2022. Also, at acquisition date Thomas Ltd had recorded a dividend payable of $7000 and goodwill (net of accumulated impairment losses of $13 000) of $5000. Thomas Ltd had not recorded some internally generated brands that Jonathan Ltd considered to have a fair value of $12 000. The brand was considered to have an indefinite life. Also not recorded by Thomas Ltd was a contingent liability relating to a current court case in which Thomas Ltd was involved and a supplier was seeking compensation. Jonathan Ltd placed a fair value of $15 000 on this liability. This court case was settled in May 2022 at which time Thomas Ltd was required to pay damages of $16 000.

In February 2021, Thomas Ltd transferred $20 000 from the general reserve on hand at 1 July 2020 to retained earnings. A further $15 000 was transferred in February 2022.

Both companies have an equity account entitled 'Other components of equity' to which certain gains and losses from financial assets are taken. At 1 July 2021, the balances of these accounts were $30 000 (Jonathan Ltd) and $15 000 (Thomas Ltd). The financial statements of the two companies at 30 June 2022 contained the following information:
