On 1 October 2015 Wahid Sons, a publicly listed company, acquired a 60% controlling interest in Majid Brothers paying Rs.9 per share in cash. Prior to the acquisition Wahid Sons had been experiencing difficulties with the supply of components that it used in its manufacturing process. Majid Brothers is one of Wahid Sons’s main suppliers and the acquisition was motivated by the need to secure supplies. In order to finance an increase in the production capacity of Majid Brothers, Wahid Sons made a non-dated loan at the date of acquisition of Rs.4 million to Majid Brothers that carried an actual and effective interest rate of 10% per annum. The interest to 31 March 2016 on this loan has been paid by Majid Brothers and accounted for by both companies. The summarised draft financial statements of the companies are:
