Harriet, a public listed company, acquired 65% of Synow's ordinary shares on 1 July 2019. Harriet paid an immediate K3.50 per share in cash and agreed to pay a further amount on 1 July 2020 contingent upon the post-acquisition performance of Synow. At the date of acquisition the fair value of this contingent consideration was assessed at K108m, but by 31 March 2020 it had become clear that the amount due would be K125m (ignore discounting). Harriett has recorded the cash consideration of K4.50 per share and provided for the initial estimate of contingent consideration of K120m. The summarised statements of financial position of the two companies at 31 March 2020 are shown below: Synow Tangible non-current assets (note(i)) Development costs (note (iv)) Investments (note (ii)) Current assets Total assets Equity and liabilities Ordinary shares of K1 each Reserves: Share premium Revaluation surplus Retained earnings - 1 July 2019 -year to 31 March 2020 Km 160 190 Harriet Km 420 nil 300 720 133 853 270 80 45 350 745 Km nil 108 853 134 75 Km 320 40 20 380 91 471 80 40 nil 210 330 Non-current liabilities 10% intercompany loan (note (ii)) Current liabilities Total equity and liabilities The following information is relevant: (i) Harriet has a policy of revaluing land and buildings to fair value.
