Q

Difference btw IFRS and ASPE for ASPE3064 / IAS38

A

Both - For purchased intangibles, it is assumed that future benefits exist (because of amount paid)
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

Valuations - Asset Based Approaches

A

Finance
Chapt 30

21
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
22
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

23
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

24
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

25
Q

What are the approaches to valuation

A
  • Asset based
  • Income based
  • Market based

* A combination of approaches can always be used

26
Q

Valuation steps for exam purpose - Income Approach

A
  1. Start with net income
  2. Adjust for accounting issues
  3. Normalize for unusual items
  4. Use multiplier to determine value
  5. Compare with price offer
27
Q

Valuation steps for exam purpose -
Asset Approach

A
  1. Adjust assets & liabilities to fair value
  2. Adjust for accounting issues
  3. Subtract revised total liabilities from assets
  4. Use multiplier (if provided) to determine value
28
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

29
Q

When to 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
30
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
31
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
32
Q

Capitalized Cashflow steps

A

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

33
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

34
Q

What are the market based approaches

A

There are 2 methods

  • Assets with active market
  • Comparable transaction
35
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
36
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

37
Q

Formula Terminal DCF

A

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

38
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
39
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
40
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

41
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

42
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
43
Q

Purchase, Expansion or sale of a business

A

Chapt 37

44
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

45
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 replace management and employees

46
Q

How to record different types of investment

A

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

47
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

48
Q

Diverstiture- Equity Carve out

A

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