Additional information:
(i) Aubin Plc acquired 1.6 million of Bobin Ltd's ordinary shares five
years ago for £2.25 per share. The retained earnings of Bobin Ltd at
that date were £375,000 credit. The fair value of a building held by
Bobin Ltd at the date of acquisition was £1 million in excess of its
carrying amount. The remaining useful life of the building at the date
was 50 years.
(ii) On 1 October 2011 Aubin Plc acquired 1.6 million of Cabin Ltd's
ordinary share for £1.50 per share. The retained earnings of Cabin Ltd
on that date were £143,000 credit.
(iii) On 1 May 2015 Aubin Plc made a loan to Bobin Ltd of £50,000. The
loan is repayable on 30 April 2018. Aubin Plc has included the loan in
trade and other receivables. Bobin Ltd has disclosed the loan as long-
term borrowings.
(iv) During the year Bobin Ltd sold goods to Aubin Plc at a mark-up of
50%. The goods cost Bobin Ltd £90,000. At the yearend one-third of
these goods remained in inventory.
(v)Aubin Plc carries out annual impairment reviews of goodwill. At 30
September 2014 cumulative impairment losses in respect of goodwill
arising on the acquisition of Bobin Ltd of £200,000 had arisen. A
further loss of £40,000 arose during the current year and needs to be
recognised.
(vi) Due to an unexpected downturn in the performance of Cabin Ltd
in the second half of the current year, Aubin Plc has calculated that
an impairment in the carrying amount of its investment in Cabin Ltd
of £30,000 needs to be recognised.
