Topic 2: Consolidation: Intra-group transactions

On 1 July 2015, Ping Pong Ltd acquired all the issued shares of Sing Song Ltd. At the date of acquisition, the shareholders equity of Sing Song Ltd consisted of share capital $120,000; general reserve $25,000 and retained earnings $55,000. The identifiable net assets of Sing Song Ltd were recorded at amounts equal to their fair values, except for the following assets:

The assets of Sing Song Ltd at acquisition date included goodwill recorded at $15,000 arising from a business combination transaction in 2011. As at the date of acquisition, the vehicles and machinery were expected to have a further useful life of 6 and 8 years respectively, with benefits to be received evenly over those periods. Inventories on hand on 1 July 2015 was all sold by 31 January 2016. The land owned at 1 July 2015 was sold in September 2016 for $150,000. The machinery on hand at 1 July 2015 was sold on 1 January 2018 for $38,000.

Adjustments for the differences between carrying amount and fair values of assets and liabilities on hand at acquisition date are recognised on consolidation. When assets are sold or derecognised, any related valuation reserves are transferred to retained earnings.

At 1 July 2015, Sing Song Ltd owned but had not recorded an internally generated brand name, an identifiable asset included as part of the business combination transaction. This brand name was considered by Ping Pong Ltd to have a fair value of $29,000 and an indefinite useful life. An impairment test conducted with respect to the brand name on 30 June 2018 concluded that its recoverable amount at that date was $2,000 less than its carrying amount.

In June 2017, Sing Song Ltd paid a share dividend worth $20,000 from the general reserve on hand at 1 July 2015.
