QUESTION

You have been appointed as an accountant in the group reporting division of Care-Clinic Corporation Limited, a private hospital group listed on the JSE Securities Exchange. The group operates in three regions, namely Africa (South Africa, Namibia and Lesotho), Europe (Switzerland) and the Middle East (United Arab Emirates). Its core purpose is to enhance the quality of life of patients by providing cost-effective acute specialised hospital services.

During your induction course you were provided with the following group structure:

HOLDING COMPANY: CARE-CLINIC CORPORATION LIMITED

1 Significant influence.

2 Controlled through the shareholders' agreements.

The facilitator of the induction course did stress that the diagram had not been updated since the previous year's induction course. Since that time the group has sold its Lesotho operations and acquired a non-controlling interest in a medical centre in Zürich. The facilitator also mentioned that the accounting policy for the group is to carry investments in subsidiaries and associates at cost in the separate financial statements of the parent. After your induction course, the financial director informed you that your first task would be to prepare the consolidated statement of cash flows for the financial year ended 31 December 2011.

7 To this end you extracted the following three reports from the group's accounting system:

CF001

At the end of each reporting period every individual company in the group, excluding associate companies, completes an electronic reporting pack on the group's accounting system for consolidation purposes. The reporting pack is an electronic set of financial statements. The accounting system then automatically aggregates the individual companies' financial statements on a line-by-line basis and reports the totals per operating region, namely Africa, Europe and the Middle East.

All pro forma consolidation journal entries are processed manually and are therefore not reflected in the reports. Foreign companies are required to capture the information in South African rand, translated as required in terms of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Report CF001 represents the aggregated statement of cash flows of all the relevant companies in the group (i.e. excluding associate companies).

Changes to the group

One of your co-workers provided you with the following information regarding the changes to the group structure that occurred during the current financial year. These represent the only changes for the year:

1 On 1 July 2011 Care-Clinic Africa Proprietary Limited ('CC Africa') sold its investment in Care-Clinic Lesotho Proprietary Limited ('CC Lesotho') for R24 million cash and R56 million deferred payments receivable on 1 January 2012. The impact of discounting was immaterial. In addition, the acquirer issued shares to CC Africa with a fair value of R10 million. The group originally incorporated the company with a capital
injection of R1 million. Because the sale transaction became effective before 31 December 2011, the CF001, CF002 and CF003 reports do not include any cash flow information of CC Lesotho, except for the inclusion of the total proceeds on the sale of R90 million under cash flow from investing activities. The R10 million received in shares is reflected in the reports as the purchase of financial assets and the

9  R56 million deferred payment receivable is included as part of cash received from customers.

Notes
1.1 No items of property, plant and equipment were sold during the six months ended 30 June 2011 and all acquisitions were undertaken for the purpose of maintaining operating capacity only.
1.2 The hedging instrument was used in a cash flow hedge of revenue transactions.
1.3 The coupon interest on the borrowings is equal to the effective interest rate.
1.4 The bank overdraft is repayable with three months' notice.
1.5 Interest on the borrowings was settled in cash.
1.6 There is no deferred tax on the fair value gain on the cash flow hedge. This was the correct treatment under IFRS and tax legislation.

The cash flow hedge contained no ineffectiveness.
2 On 1 November 2011 Care-Clinic Switzerland ('CC Switzerland') acquired a noncontrolling interest of 45% in First Health Zürich ('FH Zürich'). CC Switzerland has significant influence over FH Zürich. At that date the fair value of all the identifiable assets and liabilities and contingent liabilities of FH Zürich amounted to R75 million (net), of which R13 million related to cash and cash equivalents.

R19 million of the R44 million purchase consideration was settled in cash and the balance in deferred payments payable on 1 January 2012. The impact of discounting was immaterial. The total purchase consideration is currently included under cash flow from investing activities, while the deferred payments payable are included as part of cash paid to suppliers. (Note: Report CF001 does not include cash flows of associate companies.)
