The difference between the fair value of the net assets and their carrying amount was due to items of non-depreciable property, plant and equipment. On 1 April 2013, Port Louis Ltd bought 40% shares in St. Martin Ltd. The retained earnings of St. Martin on that date were MUR50 million and those of St. Croix were MUR 150 million. There was no revaluation surplus in the books of St. Martin on 1 April 2013 and the fair values of the net assets of Line at April 2013 were not materially different from their carrying values. Late during the current financial year, some key customers cancelled their contracts with the St. Croix Ltd. The directors of Port Louis Ltd expect that these events will continue to have an adverse impact on St. Croix Ltd operations and the goodwill acquired. The directors estimate that it would be appropriate to impair a third of goodwill acquired. Note 2 - St. Croix Ltd's investments Port Louis Ltd and St. Croix Ltd had acquired their holdings in St. Martin on the same date as part of an attempt to mask the true ownership of Line. St Croix Ltd acquired 25% of the ordinary shares of St. Martin Ltd. The information on the net assets of St. Martin Ltd given under note 1 above is relevant. Note 3 - Non-controlling interest It is the group's policy to value the non-controlling interest at its proportionate share of the fair value of the subsidiary's identifiable net assets. Note 4 - Inter-company sales and purchases Following the acquisition of the shares St. Martin Ltd bought MUR 10 million worth of goods from Port Louis Ltd, half of which remained unsold at 31 July 2019. Port Louis Ltd prices is goods with a margin of 10%. Note 5 - Inter-company accounts As at 31 July 2019, Port Louis Ltd had a trade receivable of MUR 2 million from St. Croix Ltd. St. Croix Ltd's accounts showed a payable of MUR 1 million as it paid MUR 1 million on 31 July 2019 in favour of Port Louis Ltd which reached the latter's account only on 4 August 2019. Note 6 - Development expenditure The group operates in the pharmaceutical industry and incurs a significant amount of expenditure on the development of products. These costs were formerly written off to the income statement as incurred but then reinstated when the related products were brought into commercial use. The reinstated costs amounting to MUR 20 million are shown as 'development inventories'. The costs do not meet the criteria in IAS 38 Intangible assets for classification as intangibles and the accountant now wishes to ensure that the financial statements comply strictly with IAS/IFRS as regards this matter. None of the four companies declared or paid dividends during the year and any effect of taxation must be ignored. REQUIRED: Prepare the consolidated statement of financial position for Port Louis Group at 31 July 2019. N.B. Figures are to be reported to 1 decimal places in MUR million.
