Question 1: (Marks 10)
You own a financial accounting services called MyOwnWork Consultancy Pty Ltd. It's the company you have established after graduating with honours degree in accounting and management. The finance director of Millionaires Club Pty Ltd (MC) which is a private company with many strategic investments, approached you and began discussing his concern that he might be required to consolidate some of these investments, pursuant to AASB 10. Details of the investment relationships are as follows:
a)MC has a 25 per cent interest in the share capital of LBX Pty Limited (LBX), which is a company involved in the same industry as MC. The remaining 75 per cent of the share capital is owned by LBX's founders, Mr and Mrs T. Mr and Mrs T are unfamiliar with the industry and so have given MC three seats out of the five seats available on the board of directors. MC takes all the lead on all decisions, but the business is closely monitored by Mr and Mrs T, who hold the other two board positions.
b)MC has a substantial loan receivable from BBT Pty Ltd (BBT). BBT, as a result ofthe current economic climate, has experienced significant trading problems. BBT has failed to make its regular payments under the loan with the management of BBT that MC executives will take control of the company's finances for a period of five years. An executive of MC has been given control of BBT's cheque book and makes all payments. MC has not gained any seats on BBT's board of directors, which is still dominated by BBT shareholders.
c)MC owns 50 per cent of Chatime Tea Ltd (CTL), with the other 50 per cent being owned by Boost Juice Ltd (BJL). Both companies have equal voting rights and an equal share of seats on the board of directors. Under the agreement with BJL, MC supplies the finance to the company on normal commercial terms. the loan is fully secured against the assets of the company. BJL provides the management and entrepreneurial flair to CTL. under the agreement forged, BJL will receive a management fee in respect of the net profits of CTL after allowing for interest payments on the MC loan. In times of no profits, the interest payments will still be met, but BJL will not receive any remuneration.
d)MC, Coffee Club Ltd (CCL) and Gloria Jeans Ltd (GJL) are each 33.33 per cent shareholders of PGH Pty Ltd, a small proprietary company that is involved in the music industry. CCL and GJL are passive shareholders with the one board seat each out of a total of three. MC has one board seat and is also involved in the day-to-day running of the business.
e)MC hold a 75 per cent interest in JB Wifi Pty Ltd. The interest was created when MC converted a substantial loan it made to JB Wifi into equity at the invitationof JB Wifi when JB Wifi began to trade poorly and recovery of the loan seemed uncertain. JB Wifi has a large deficiency in net assets and has been consolidated for many years. MC is a passive investor, having no seats on the board of directors and no say in the financing or operating decisions of JB Wifi.
