Transcribed Image Text: The fair value of the 16% holding of Lanark in Clyde was £290 million on 1 January 2022 and
£330 million at 31 December 2023. The fair value of Strath's interest in Clyde had not changed
since acquisition.
(iii) On 1 July 2023 Lanark sold some property to Strath Ltd for £140 million. The property had a
carrying amount in Lanark's books of £110 million at the date of sale. The estimated remaining
useful life of the property was reassessed at the date of sale as twenty years.
(iv) During 2023 Strath Ltd has invoiced £90 million of sales to Lanark all at a mark-up of 25%. One
quarter of these goods were still in Lanark's inventories at the year end.
(v) On 1 January 2023, Lanark issued 5,000 £1 share options to each of its 1,000 staff. The share
options are conditional on staff being employed by Lanark on 31 December 2025 and the share
options cannot be exercised unless Lanark's share price reaches £25 on 31 December 2025.
Provided the share price target is met, the share options can be exercised at any time during the
following two years i.e., from 1 January 2026 to 31 December 2027.
The unadjusted fair value of the options on 1 January 2023 was £11.20: the adjusted fair value
considering the share price target was £10 per share.
On 1 January 2023, the directors estimated that 20% of the staff would leave and forfeit their rights to
the shares. This estimate was subsequently revised down to 15% on 31 December 2023.
Lanark's £1 equity shares were quoted at £20 per share on 1 January 2023 and at £22 on 31 December
2023. The directors consider there is an 80% probability that the share price target will be met on 31
December 2025. The directors wish to account for the share-based payments in a separate equity
reserve.
(vi) Lanark acquired a piece of land used for storage purposes in 2010. The land was owner-
occupied and correctly accounted for as PPE (no depreciation). The land was revalued in 2019. The
