Case Study 3
Nikhil Pvt. Ltd. acquired 100% of Pranav Pvt. Ltd. on 1st January, 2023. The fair
value of the purchase consideration was ` 20 crores consisting of ordinary shares
of ` 100 each of Nikhil Pvt. Ltd. The fair value of the net assets acquired was
` 15 crores. At the time of the acquisition, the value of the ordinary shares of
Nikhil Pvt. Ltd. and the net assets of Pranav Pvt. Ltd. were only provisionally
determined.
On 30th November, 2023, it was finally determined that the fair value of Nikhil
Pvt. Ltd.’s shares was ` 22 crores and the fair value of net assets of Pranav Pvt.
Ltd. was ` 16 crores.
However, the directors of Nikhil Pvt. Ltd. have seen the fair value of the company's
shares decline since 1st January, 2023, and wanted to adopt the fair value of the
shares as of 1st February, 2024, which will result in the fair value of consideration
at being value date ` 18 crores.
In addition to the above Purchase Consideration, the acquisition agreement states
that an additional ` 4 crores will be paid if Pranav Pvt. Ltd. achieves a turnover
of ` 160 crores in the next two years. On the date of acquisition, the fair value of
the said consideration was ` 3 crores. In February 2024, due to decline in
performance of Pranav Pvt. Ltd., it is determined that it is unlikely that it would
meet budgeted turnover of ` 160 crores.

Answer
(a) Points earned on ` 1,50,00,000 @ 6 points on every ` 400
= [(1,50,00,000/400) x 6] = 2,25,000 points.
Out of 2,25,000 points, it is estimated that 54,000 points will remain
unredeemed in the current year. Further, it is expected that 75% of the
unredeemed points will be redeemed in the future.
Accordingly, value of points will be computed as follows:
Value of points redeemed in the current year
= (2,25,000-54,000) points x ` 0.6 each point = ` 1,02,600
Value of points estimated to be redeemed in future
= 54,000 points x 75% x ` 0.6 each point = ` 24,300
Total value of loyalty points = ` 1,02,600 + ` 24,300 = ` 1,26,900

assets and liabilities, and income and expenses. Offsetting in the statement
of profit and loss or balance sheet is not permitted unless when offsetting
reflects the substance of the transaction or other event.

necessarily complete agreement, that a particular depiction is a faithful
representation.
3. Timeliness: Timeliness means having information available to
decision-makers in time to be capable of influencing their decisions.
Generally, the older the information is the less useful it is. However,
some information may continue to be timely long after the end of a
reporting period because some users may need to identify and assess
trends.
4. Understandability: Classifying, characterising and presenting
information clearly and concisely makes it understandable.
Enhancing qualitative characteristics should be maximised to the extent
possible. However, the enhancing qualitative characteristics, either
individually or as a group, cannot make information useful if that
information is irrelevant or does not provide a faithful representation of
what it purports to represent.
Sometimes, one enhancing qualitative characteristic may have to be
diminished to maximise another qualitative characteristic. For example, a
temporary reduction in comparability as a result of prospectively applying
a new Ind AS may be worthwhile to improve relevance or faithful
representation in the longer term. Appropriate disclosures may partially
compensate for non-comparability.

a. Analyze the clauses in the contract related to the services provided
(broadband services, voice call services, modem sales).
b. Each clause should be codified using appropriate parameters or tags
to capture the relevant information.
c. Assign Boolean values (0 or 1) to each parameter or tag in the codified
clauses.
d. Use "0" to represent "No" and "1" to represent "Yes" for each
parameter.
e. Define the criteria for evaluating the performance obligations based
on the parameters and their Boolean values.
f. Consider factors such as the type of service involved, benefits derived
by the customer, and promises made in the contract regarding the
transfer of goods or services.
g. Develop an automated algorithm or script that evaluates the Boolean
values of the parameters according to the defined criteria.
h. Calculate scores or weights for each parameter based on their
significance in determining performance obligations.
i. Utilize the scores or weights assigned to the parameters to determine
if the performance obligations are distinct.
j. If the total score exceeds a certain threshold, consider it a separate
performance obligation.
The automated process should flag and identify these distinct performance
obligations based on the evaluation results.
Considering the above facts, the following conclusion arises:
There are three separate obligations
• Broadband Service
• Voice Call Services
• Modem

(ii) The accumulated depreciation is eliminated against the gross
carrying amount of the asset.
The amount of the adjustment of accumulated depreciation forms part
of the increase or decrease in carrying amount that is accounted for in
accordance with paragraphs 39 and 40 of Ind AS 16.
In this case, the gross carrying amount is restated to ` 3,00,000 to
reflect the fair value and accumulated depreciation is set at zero.

Since the revalued amount is the revised gross block, the useful life

(c) (a) In case, it is assumed that the judgement of court has been received
after the approval of previous year’s financial statements of the
reporting entity and the probability for payment of arrears of salaries
and wages was remote in the previous year because of which the entity
had neither made any provision or disclosure, then the liability for
arrears of salary and wages would be considered as a change in
accounting estimate in the current year.

Alternatively, if it is assumed that in case the judgement of court has
been received before the approval of financial statements of the
previous year, then the entity should have adjusted the liability in that
m
m
year itself. In the absence of said accounting treatment in the previous
c. o

year, it will be considered a mistake and would be accounted for as a
s em
e m
prior period error.

(b) In the given case, since the information regarding expenses of
ag
ag
` 1,50,000 in the previous year was available with the entity, and was
omitted due to an oversight, it will be considered as a prior period
error.
(c) As per para 32 of Ind AS 8, a loss allowance for expected credit losses
(i.e. provision for doubtful debts) applying Ind AS 109, Financial
Instruments, is an example of accounting estimate. Hence, any change
in the previous year’s estimate on account of recovery of such loss
allowance in the current year would be a change in the accounting
m
co
estimate in the current year because of the uncertainties inherent in

.
business activities and it is not possible to measure the provision for
doubtful debts with precise accuracy.
s em
g l a
(d) This is neither a case of prior period error nor a change in accounting
a
estimates. In the given case, the company did not have any
information as on the balance sheet date and it is the mistake
committed by the Group Insurance company and not the reporting
entity. Hence, the demand for an additional premium amount by the
Group Insurance Company will not be considered as a prior period
error for the reporting entity. Further, the entity had paid the premium
amount in the previous year, so no accounting estimate was involved
thereupon. Therefore, the additional demand cannot be considered as
m
co
a change in accounting estimate for the reporting entity.
