ONYA Ltd (ONYA) is a cloud based business management solutions provider. First listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in 2014, ONYA recorded a healthy annual profit in the last financial year, boosted by increased online subscriber growth. At ONYAs January 2018 board meeting CEO James Dunn outlined details of a recent new acquisition. The acquisition is an Australian company, Remit Pty Ltd (Remit), which is an Australian payments solutions provider. Remit has more than 8,000 clients across Australia, including banks and businesses of various sizes. The acquisition of Remit will allow ONYA to bridge a gap between its accounting and payments solutions and will potentially open up an $400 million accounting software payment market to ONYA. The acquisition was via a sale and purchase agreement to acquire 100% of Remit for $40 million cash. The ONYA board were generally positive about the acquisition and much of the boardroom discussion focused on the valueadd of Remit to ONYAs existing business. However, several of ONYAs directors expressed concern about the nature and amount of the assets involved in the Remit acquisition as the most recent financial statements for Remit indicated that ONYA was paying $40 million for net assets with a carrying value of just over $4 million. ONYAs CFO Wendy Patton was asked about this issue and about the impact of the acquisition on ONYAs financial statements. Wendy replied that Remit controlled significant intangible assets that it was not permitted to recognise in its own financial statements but that the ONYA Group should recognise in a business combination. Wendy agreed to provide proforma (projected) financial statements and supporting calculations to the board to demonstrate the estimated effect of the Remit acquisition.
