Question 1 Lumina plc bought a 30% stake in Fusion several years ago when Fusion had reserves of 50m and when the fair value of its fixed assets was estimated to be 30m greater than their net book value. Since then Lumina has had a representative on the board of directors of Fusion and has been involved in its management policies. However, it is not considered that Lumina controls the financial and operating policies of Fusion. Lumina also has a 50% stake in Micro, a joint venture entity in which the Bell group of companies also has a 50% stake. Lumina and Bell exercise control over Micro jointly. Lumina purchased its stake in Micro when Micro's reserves were 130m and when the fair value of its net assets was estimated to be the same as their book value. There have been no issues of shares by either Fusion or Micro since the investments made by Lumina. The respective balance sheets of the companies at 30 September 20X6 are as follows.
