Snap Ltd is a seafood business with headquarters in Apollo Bay. Snap Ltd products include

many varieties of seafood but one item lacking in its product range is Tasmanian Atlantic

Salmon. The board of Snap Ltd decided to investigate a takeover of a Tasmanian company,

Southern Pty Ltd, whose major product is the packaging of Tasmanian Atlantic Salmon.

Strategically, Southern Pty Ltd would be a good fit with Snap Ltd as Snap owns two

processing factories in Devonport, one of which is under-utilised. If Southern were acquired,

then Snap would liquidate the company and transfer all the processing work to one of the

Devonport factories.

Southern Pty Ltd also had a brand '41 South' that was not recorded by the company because

it had been internally generated. It was valued at $12 000. Southern Pty Ltd had not recorded

both the interest accrued on the loans amounting to $22 800 and annual leave entitlements of

$13 000.

Snap Ltd decided to acquire all the assets of Southern Pty Ltd except for the cash. In exchange for these assets, Snap Pty Ltd agreed to provide:

Two shares in Snap Ltd for every three A ordinary shares held in Southern Pty Ltd.

The fair value of each Snap Ltd share was agreed to be $2.16.

Artworks to the owners of the B ordinary shares held in Southern Pty Ltd. (These

artworks were held in the records of Snap Ltd at $40 000 and valued at $58 000.)

Sufficient additional cash to enable Southern Pty Ltd to pay off its liabilities.

The business combination occurred on 1 April 2020. Legal and accounting costs incurred by

Snap Ltd in undertaking this business combination amounted to $1300. Costs to issue the

shares to the A ordinary shareholders of Southern Ltd were $700.
