    (ii) On 1 June 2007, Bravado acquired 6% of the ordinary shares of Mixted. Bravado had treated this investment
    as available-for-sale in the financial statements to 31 May 2008 but had restated the investment at cost on
    Mixted becoming a subsidiary. On 1 June 2008, Bravado acquired a further 64% of the ordinary shares of
    Mixted and gained control of the company. The consideration for the acquisitions was as follows:
    Holding Consideration
    $m
    1 June 2007 6% 10
    1 June 2008 64% 118
    —– —-
    70% 128
    —– —-
    Under the purchase agreement of 1 June 2008, Bravado is required to pay the former shareholders 30% of the
    profits of Mixted on 31 May 2010 for each of the financial years to 31 May 2009 and 31 May 2010. The fair
    value of this arrangement was estimated at $12 million at 1 June 2008 and at 31 May 2009 this value had not
    changed. This amount has not been included in the financial statements.
    At 1 June 2008, the fair value of the equity interest in Mixted held by Bravado before the business combination
    was $15 million and the fair value of the non-controlling interest in Mixted was $53 million. The fair value of
    the identifiable net assets at 1 June 2008 of Mixted was $170 million (excluding deferred tax assets and
    liabilities), and the retained earnings and other components of equity were $55 million and $7 million
    respectively. There had been no new issue of share capital by Mixted since the date of acquisition and the excess
    of the fair value of the net assets is due to an increase in the value of property, plant and equipment (PPE).
    The fair value of the PPE was provisional pending receipt of the final valuations for these assets. These valuations
    were received on 1 December 2008 and they resulted in a further increase of $6 million in the fair value of the
    net assets at the date of acquisition. This increase does not affect the fair value of the non-controlling interest.
    PPE is depreciated on the straight-line basis over seven years. The tax base of the identifiable net assets of Mixted
    was $166 million at 1 June 2008. The tax rate of Mixted is 30%.

    Business Analysis
    Wednesday 10 June 2009

    When Xsys has completed the construction of the computer it arranges for the international logistics company EIM to
    deliver the machine to greenTech for testing. After acceptance testing the machine, greenTech e-mails the customer,
    agrees a delivery date and arranges for delivery by courier.
    Recent feedback from customers suggests that missing promised delivery dates is their biggest complaint. This is
    because the delivery date agreed early in the order process cannot necessarily be matched by Xsys when it actually
    receives the confirmed order. Figure 4 shows the process involved.
    Required:
    (a) Evaluate the current strategic position of greenTech using a SWOT analysis. (12 marks)
    (b) The panel selected the proposal of Professor Ag Wan as the winning proposal.
    Write a briefing paper evaluating the three proposals and justifying the selection of the proposal of Professor
    Ag Wan as the best strategic option for greenTech to pursue.
    Note: requirement (b) includes 2 professional marks. (20 marks)
    (c) (i) Identify deficiencies in the current Internet-based process for ordering and configuring fully assembled
    green computers. Recommend a new process, together with its implications, for remedying these
    deficiencies. (10 marks)
    (ii) The board is determined to link strategy with current and future processes.
    Analyse the relationship between process design and strategic planning using the context of greenTech
    to illustrate your analysis.
    Note: requirement (c)(ii) includes 2 professional marks. (8 marks)

    Management
    Thursday 4 June 2009

    In recent years commercial property values have risen in real terms by 4% per annum. Current inflation is 2·5% per
    annum. Property rentals currently earn an 8% return.
    The proposal is that 50% of the property portfolio (land and buildings) and 50% of the assets under construction
    would be sold to a newly established property holding company called RPH that would issue bonds backed by the
    assured rental income stream from BBS Stores. BBS Stores would not hold any equity interest in the newly formed
    company nor would they take any part in its management.
    BBS Stores is currently financed by equity in the form of 25c fully paid ordinary shares with a current market value
    of 400c per share. The capital debt for the company consists of medium-term loan notes of which $360 million are
    repayable at the end of two years and $770 million are repayable at the end of six years. Both issues of medium-
    term notes carry a floating rate of LIBOR plus 70 basis points. The interest liability on the six year notes has been
    swapped at a fixed rate of 5·5% in exchange for LIBOR which is also currently 5·5%. The reduction in the firm’s
    gearing implied by option 1 would improve the firm’s credit rating and reduce its current credit spread by 30 basis
    points. The change in gearing resulting from the second option is not expected to have any impact upon the firm’s
    credit rating. There has been no alteration in the rating of the company since the earliest debt was issued.
    The BBS Stores equity beta is currently 1·824. A representative portfolio of commercial property companies has an
    equity beta of 1·25 and an average market gearing (adjusted for tax) of 50%. The risk free rate of return is 5% and
    the equity risk premium is 3%. The company’s current accounting rate of return on new investment is 13% before
    tax. You may assume that debt betas are zero throughout.
    The effective rate of company tax is 35%.
    Required:
    On the assumption that the property unbundling proceeds, prepare a report for consideration by senior
    management which should include the following:
    (a) A comparative statement showing the impact upon the statement of financial position and on the earnings
    per share on the assumption that the cash proceeds of the property sale are used:
    (i) To repay the debt, repayable in two years, in full and for reinvestment in non-current assets;

    Advanced Taxation
    (United Kingdom)
    Monday 1 June 2009

    2 An extract from an e-mail from your manager following a meeting he has had with Charleston Dance is set out below.
    I attach a memorandum summarising the matters discussed in a meeting I had yesterday with Charleston. I also
    attach a calculation of the inheritance tax due on his father’s death as prepared by his friend, Lindy. I have not had
    the chance to look at this in detail but I can confirm that the annual exemptions and the taper relief have been
    applied correctly and that there are no arithmetical errors; please review it with care.
    I want you to write a letter from me to Charleston covering the following issues.
    (i) Inheritance tax
    – Brief explanations of any errors you find when you review Lindy’s calculation of the inheritance tax due
    on Charleston’s father’s death and the effect of correcting the errors on the total inheritance tax due.
    (ii) Investments and pensions
    – The suitability of investing in venture capital trusts and a summary of the tax reliefs available in respect
    of such an investment.
    – The maximum tax allowable pension contributions that can be made by Charleston and Betty and the
    effect on this, if any, of purchasing further rental properties.
    (iii) Income tax planning
    – Calculations, with supporting explanations to show that the total tax payable would increase (rather than
    decrease!) if he were to transfer all of the quoted shares and government stocks to a company wholly
    owned by him. Use the income figures from Lindy’s inheritance tax calculation for these purposes and
    assume that the whole of the new company’s post-tax income would be paid as a dividend to Charleston.
    – The income tax advantages of Charleston transferring investments to Betty or their children.
    – The points that Charleston needs to be aware of in connection with tax avoidance schemes and the
    taxation of the Balboan properties.
    Thank you

    Advanced Audit and
    Assurance
    (International)
    Tuesday 2 June 2009

    2 (a) Explain FOUR reasons why a firm of auditors may decide NOT to seek re-election as auditor. (6 marks)
    The Dragon Group is a large group of companies operating in the furniture retail trade. The group has expanded rapidly
    in the last three years, by acquiring several subsidiaries each year. The management of the parent company, Dragon
    Co, a listed company, has decided to put the audit of the group and all subsidiaries out to tender, as the current audit
    firm is not seeking re-election. The financial year end of the Dragon Group is 30 September 2009.
    You are a senior manager in Unicorn & Co, a global firm of Chartered Certified Accountants, with offices in over 150
    countries across the world. Unicorn & Co has been invited to tender for the Dragon Group audit (including the audit
    of all subsidiaries). You manage a department within the firm which specialises in the audit of retail companies, and
    you have been assigned the task of drafting the tender document. You recently held a meeting with Edmund Jalousie,
    the group finance director, in which you discussed the current group structure, recent acquisitions, and the group’s
    plans for future expansion.
    Meeting notes – Dragon Group
    Group structure
    The parent company owns 20 subsidiaries, all of which are wholly owned. Half of the subsidiaries are located in
    the same country as the parent, and half overseas. Most of the foreign subsidiaries report under the same financial
    reporting framework as Dragon Co, but several prepare financial statements using local accounting rules.
    Acquisitions during the year
    Two companies were purchased in March 2009, both located in this country:
    (i) Mermaid Co, a company which operates 20 furniture retail outlets. The audit opinion expressed by the
    incumbent auditors on the financial statements for the year ended 30 September 2008 was qualified by a
    disagreement over the non-disclosure of a contingent liability. The contingent liability relates to a court case
    which is still on-going.
    (ii) Minotaur Co, a large company, whose operations are distribution and warehousing. This represents a
    diversification away from retail, and it is hoped that the Dragon Group will benefit from significant economies
    of scale as a result of the acquisition.
    Other matters
    The acquisitive strategy of the group over the last few years has led to significant growth. Group revenue has
    increased by 25% in the last three years, and is predicted to increase by a further 35% in the next four years as
    the acquisition of more subsidiaries is planned. The Dragon Group has raised finance for the acquisitions in the
    past by becoming listed on the stock exchanges of three different countries. A new listing on a foreign stock
    exchange is planned for January 2010. For this reason, management would like the group audit completed by

    The UK tax system
    The overall UK tax system mainly runs as self-assessment. A number of economic and social factors determine details of tax treatment: encourage of individual saving habits, giving to charity, environmental protection; discourage motoring, smoking & alcohol and environmental pollutions

    F6 discuss five tax types including Income Tax, Corporation Tax, Value Added Tax, Capital Gain Tax and National Insurance Contribution. However, general rules are similar 1)there must be a chargeable person (individual vs incorporated entity) for tax assessment 2)there must be a chargeable period for tax assessment – the main task in F6 for candidates is to assess different kinds of taxable profit/income and determine applicable tax rates for calculation of tax liabilities

    Exam in 2008 Dec still base on Finance Act 2007 with reference to all kinds of case laws in place

    Tax planning means realization of tax avoidance with uses of charges, allowances and reliefs. Only most tax beneficial method is regarded as the correct answer. Tax evasion is forbidden and discloser of such issues will cause punishment.

    Technical issues – Associate
    You shall apply equity method when dealing with associate in preparation of consolidated financial statements.
    In the consolidated statement of financial position
    “Investment in associates”
    – Initial cost of investment + group’s share ofassociate’s
    post-acquisition retained profit
    – Group’s share of associate’s net assets at y/e + g/w
    Technical issues – Associate
    In the consolidated income statement
    “Group’s share of the associate’s post-tax profit” should be shown as a single figure in the consolidated income statement. However, in examination the presentation showing “Group’s share of the associate’s pre-tax profit” and “group’s share of the associate’s tax” is also acceptable.
    Technical issues – Inter-company items
    At Paper F7 stage the inter-company items with which we would most likely be faced are inter-company sales and current account between group members.

    In addition, we should also pay attention to intra-group fixed asset transfers and intra-group dividends and proposed dividends.
    Technical issues – Inter-company items
    You should be able to deal with inter-company sales with resulting unsold inventory both between parent and subsidiary and between parent and associate.
    The key point to dealing with intra-group fixed asset transfers is to identify who recognised unrealised profit on transfer (i.e. who made the sale) and who recognised additional depreciation.
    For intra-group dividends and proposed dividends you should make clear whether or not the company involved have accounted for dividends or proposed dividends in their own accounts.
    Technical issues – Pre-acquisition dividend
    Pre-acquisition dividends are paid after acquisition but arise from pre-acquisition accumulated profits.
    The most likely circumstances under which you are required to deal with pre-acquisition dividend is when acquisition took place during the period and the acquiree paid dividend after acquisition.
    The parent would treat its share of the post-acquisition dividend as realised in its own accounts; its share of the pre-acquisition dividend would be treated as unrealised and credited against the consideration paid for the subsidiary.
