CONSOLIDATION
On 1 July 2011, Zako Ltd acquired all the issued ordinary shares (cum div.) and gained control of Sauvaz Ltd for a consideration of $528,000. At that date the shareholders' equity of Sauvaz Ltd was:
Share Capital $310,000
General Reserve 38,000
Retained Earnings 68,000
At acquisition date, all the identifiable assets and liabilities of Sauvaz Ltd were recorded at amounts equal to fair value except for:
Carrying Fair
Amount Value
Goodwill 40,000 82,000
Inventory $100,000 $120,000

In addition at the date of acquisition, Sauvaz Ltd had a provision for dividend of $20,000 and other provisions of $254,000. The dividend liability was paid on 1 September 2011. It also had a contingent liability of $13,000 that Zako Ltd considered to have a fair value of $11,000. This liability was settled in July 2015.
The machinery, which was estimated to have a further ten year life at acquisition date, was sold on 1 January 2016. The plant and equipment had a further six year life at acquisition date and was expected to be used evenly over that time. The trademark had a further ten year life. Any adjustments for differences between carrying amounts at acquisition date and fair values are made on consolidation.
During the year ended 30 June 2012, all inventories on hand at acquisition date were sold, and the land was sold on 1 June 2016. Any valuation reserves created are transferred on consolidation to retained earnings when assets are sold or fully consumed.
Goodwill was tested annually for impairment. For the year ended 30 June 2015, an impairment loss on goodwill of $2,500 was recorded.
On 30 June 2015, Sauvaz Ltd transferred $10,000 from the general reserve (pre-acquisition) to retained earnings.
