Q

What are the recognition criteria for initial measurment

A
  • It should be probable that future economic benefits will flow to the entity
  • The cost can be reliably measured
  • Those acquired in a biz combination, it is assumed that the probability is met as long as the FV (cost) is known

Q

How are IAs subsequently measured

A

Those with finite life
1. Cost Method
- Determine useful life
- Amortize using SL or units of production
- Test for imparment annually
-2. Revaluation Method
- Only for IAs traded in an active market

Those with Infinite life (eg Goodwill)
- Not amortized but tested annually for impairment

Q

What are the other major notes for ASPE3064 / IAS38

A

Both - For purchased intangibles, it is assumed that future benefits exist
Both - internally generated brands, mastheads, publishing titles, customer lists, and items similar in substance CANNOT be capitalized
ASPE - Allows policy choice in development costs for internal projects. Could capitalize or expense

Q

What are the steps to record FCTs

A
  1. Determine the functional currency
  2. Initial measurement
    - Translate using the spot rate at the date of the transaction
    - Txns occurring evenly overtime, use average rate
  3. Subsequent measurement
    a. Monetary
    • Closing rate on the SFP date
    • Gain or loss to P or L
      b. Non-monetary
      • If measured at historical cost - no update
      • If measured at fair value - exchange rate at revaluation date (IFRS)
        - exchange rate at balance sheet date (ASPE)

Q

NM items measured at fair value

A
  • When revaluation gain or loss is reported in SCI, the exchange gain or loss is also reported in the P or L.
  • When it is reported in OCI, the exchange too is reported in OCI

Q

Types of asset based valuation approaches

-

A
  1. Liquidation
    - Forced
    - Orderly - use NRV
  2. Adjusted net asset approach
    - For coys that are going concerns with no active operations - Holding coys
    - Also used to calculate floor value of going concern coys with active operations
    - Used for coys with active ops but no excess earnings / No goodwill
  3. Replacement Value Approach
19
Q

How is equity valued using the liquidation method

A

Proceeds of sale of assets
Less selling cost
less taxes
=
NRV
Less
Amount to settle liabilies

* if value is determined per share, then deduct personal taxes

20
Q

How is equity valued using adjusted net asset approach

A
  1. Adjust the value of each balance sheet asset and liability to FMW
    * include redundant assets net of redundant liabilities
  2. Less selling costs and latent taxes (eg tax on capital gains)
  3. Less forgone tax shield (ie FMW > current tax values of the assets)

* Used mainly for entities that are holding companies with real estate i

21
Q

How are businesses valued using the Replacement cost method

A
  1. Assets are adjusted to their replacement values
  2. Less liabilities and taxes arising due to the value replacement costs

* Common with insurance companies

22
Q

What are the approaches to valuation

A
  • Asset based
  • Income based
  • Market based

* A combination of approaches can always be used

23
Q

What are the asset based approaches

A

- Liquidation
1. Used when a coy is no longer a going concern. Two types:
2. Forced
3. Orderly - Valued with NRV (NRV means net of disposition costs/ taxes)
- Adjusted net asset
1. Going concern but no active operations. Mainly holding coys
2. Also for going concerns with active ops but no excess earnings
3. Floor value is used to calculate the value ie
4. FMV less disposition costs, liabilities and related taxes
** - Replacement cost**
1. Used for insurance purpose, individual assets, intangible assets
2. Actual replacement cost of the asset less liabilities, disposition costs and related taxes

24
Q

Why use income based approach

A
  • For coys with active operations and excess cashflows
  • Income for all the approaches must first be normalized
  • If an asset is to be valued, the related cashflows / earnings must first be singled out
25
Q

What are the income based approaches

A
  • Capitalized cash Flow
    1. Used if historical cashflow of entity indicates future performance
    2. A capitalization rate is applied to annual future cashflows
  • Discounted cash Flow
    1. For start-ups because most times, their historical CF is negagtive
    2. For entities whose historical CF is not indicative of future performance
  1. Reliable CF projections are discounted to get an initial value of the business
  2. Then as the expected CF steadies with a constant rate of change, the CF is discounted to get the terminal value of the business
26
Q

Income based approaches contd

A
  • Capitalized Earnings
    1. Used if historical earnings is indicative of future earnings
    2. Earnings are multiplied by a multiplier or divided by a capitalization rate
  • Discounted Earnings
    1. Mostly used in mergers and acquisitions
    2. Earnings are expected to be volatile before levelling out
    3. Future earnings for each forecasted period are determined
    4. Appropriate discount rates are applied to earnings for each forecasted period to get their PVs
27
Q

Capitalized Cashflow steps

A

Normalized EBITDA
- Income taxes
- Sustainable capital inv net of tax sheild
Div by capitalization rate
= Capitalized Cashflows
- PV of existing tax pools
+ Redundant assets - Liabilities
- Long term loans
= Equity Values

28
Q

Discounted Cashflow Steps

A

PV of free annual cashflows
+ PV of residual / Terminal value
+ PV of existing tax shields not already included
= Enterprise value
- NRV of redundant assets less liabilities
- Outstanding long term debt
= Equity Values

29
Q

What are the market based approaches

A

There are 2 methods

  • Assets with active market
  • Comparable transaction
30
Q

How are they valued

A
  • Used for going concerns when the information required to value the company is publicly available and reasonably comparable. Also used corroboratively with income based approach
  • Use valuation multiple that is used for similar company of comparable size in the industry
  • Apply the multiple to the EBITDA of the coy to get the market value
  • ## For equity value, apply the multiple to the earnings of the coy
31
Q

Formula -Terminal value using Adjusted Net Asset Method

A

TV =(Last yr estimated CF x 1.03) / (0.12-0.03)

0.12 = WACC
0.03 = Rate of growth

32
Q

Formula Terminal DCF

A

[ Final year FCF x ( 1+perpetuity growth rate) / WACC- perpetuity growth rate) ]

33
Q

Valuation with FCF into perpertuity

A
  1. Calculate terminal value from formula above and then
  2. Discount each year’s FCF and TV and calculating each PV
34
Q

Formula - Equity value using DCF

Disxc

A

PV of Discretionary cashflow
+ Redundant Assets
- Redundant Liabilities
- Interest bearing debt
+ PV of tax shield

  • Do not add value of working capital
35
Q

Calculate a coy’s share price using market comparables

A

Firm value = EBITDA * EV/EBITDA
Equity value = Firm value - long term loan
Price per share = Equity value / total shares

36
Q

Calculate a coy’s share price using EPS

A

The price = P/E ratio x EPS

P/E ratio = Industry P/E
EPS = (Earnings - Preferred dividend) # of shares

37
Q

How to calculate normalized discretionary cashflow from a trend

A
  1. Get the normalized EBITDA from the statements
  2. Get average value from the normalized CF from all the yrs
  3. Remove tax, sustaining investment net of tax shield

Q

Pros and Cons of acquiring assets in a company

A

Advantages
- You can pick and chose which asset/ liability to acquire/ take up
- Tax basis of the assets acquired is known ie the acquisition price
Disadvantages
- Owner may withold some assets from sale
- The price paid for assets may be higher because you chose to take up no / limited liabilities

40
Q

Pros and Cons of acquiring shares in a company

A

Advantages
- Can gain control of the coy by acquiring less than 100%, thereby reducing cost
- Retain existing legal structure
- Can use tax loss carryforwards

Disadvantage
- May have non controlling share holders. Must buy all assets and liabilities
- No tax change on the assets
- May have to replave management and employees

41
Q

How to record different types of investment

A

Controlling interest (from 51%) - Consolidate
Significant influence - Equity Method
Passive - FV Por L, FVOCI

42
Q

Diverstiture- Spin off

A

That is, a coy splits into 2 generating a second independent entity
The shareholders in Coy A and same in coy B with proprotionate share holding

43
Q

Diverstiture- Equity Carve out

A

A coy separates assets and liabilities to to divest into a new corporation. It then sells a portion for cash, while retaining majority
