FINAL EXAMINATION: SEPTEMBER 2025

into by the company for which accounting advice is sought by the Accountant of
Hans Ltd. from you:
(i) As per Company's policy, on 1 st April, 2023, Hans Ltd. granted 15,000 share
options each to each of its 3,000 key employees. The options are due to vest
on 31 st March, 2027 provided that the employees remain in employment as
at 31 st March, 2026. On 1st April, 2023, the directors of Hans Ltd. estimated
that 80% of the key employees would satisfy the vesting conditions. However,
actual employee turnover was such that this estimate was revised to 82% on
31st March, 2024 and 92% on 31 st March, 2025.
On 1st April, 2023 the fair value of each share option was estimated at ` 3.
The estimate was revised to ` 4 on 31 st March, 2024 and ` 5 on
31st March 2025. Hans Ltd. correctly recognised this transaction in the
financial statements for the year ended 31 st March, 2024 but, however, the
company did not make additional adjustment in the financial statements for
the year ended 31 st March, 2025.
(ii) On 1st September, 2024, a local statute was passed which necessitated
Hans Ltd. to undertake modifications to its automotive accessories to enable
reduction of harmful emissions. The modifications should have been
completed by 31 st January, 2025 at an estimated cost to Hans Ltd. of
` 50 lakhs. As a matter of fact, by 31 st March, 2025 none of the accessories
had been modified although they continued to be used. It is quite likely that
Hans Ltd. will be fined ` 3 lakhs per month for the illegal use of the
accessories. The directors of Hans Ltd. intend to carry out the modifications
during the year to be ended on 31 st March, 2026. They expect that a penalty
will become payable very shortly as legal action has commenced against
Hans Ltd.
(iii) On 1st April, 2024, Hans Ltd. issued preference shares for a consideration of
` 10 lakhs to an investor. The holder has an option to convert these
preference shares to a fixed number of equity shares of Hans Limited anytime
upto a period of 3 years. If the option is not exercised by the holder, the
preference shares are redeemed at the end of 3 years. The preference shares
carry a fixed coupon of 6% per annum which is payable at the end of every
year. The prevailing market rate for similar preference shares, without the
conversion feature, is 9% per annum.

(iv) On 1st April, 2024, Hans Limited entered into a loan agreement with a bank.
The loan is repayable in five equal annual instalments starting from

31st March, 2027. One of the loan covenants is that an amount equivalent to

m
co
50% of the loan amount should be contributed by the promoters by

.
28th February, 2025 failing which the loan becomes payable on demand. In
em
e m
anticipation that the company may not be able to mobilize the promoters'

ag
got the compliance date extended up to 31 st May, 2025 for getting promoters'
contribution.
(v) Hans Limited entered into a transaction to purchase 1,000 grams of silver on
15th January, 2025. The transaction provides for a price payable which is
equal to market value of 1,000 grams of silver on 15 th April, 2025 and shall
be settled by issue of such number of equity shares of Hans Limited as is
required to settle the aforementioned transaction, at a price of ` 100 per
share on 15 th April, 2025.

(vi) On 1st May, 2024, Hans Limited acquired 100% of the equity and voting rights

of MNO Limited, a subsidiary of a property investment group. It paid

a s
` 600 lakhs in cash and issued 1,00,000 Equity Shares of the face value of
l
g
` 100 each at a fair value of ` 185 per share to the selling shareholders of
a
MNO Limited. MNO Limited owns three investment properties. Fair values
of the said properties are estimated to be ` 700 lakhs. The properties are
single tenant industrial warehouses subject to long term leases. The leases
oblige MNO Limited to provide basic maintenance and security services,
which have been outsourced to third party specialist providers. The
administration of MNO Limited's leases was carried out by an executive of its
former parent company on a part time basis but the said executive does not

m
transfer to the new owner. The financial statements for the year ended and

m
as on 31 st March, 2025 are still under finalization.

Note:
1. At page 4 of the Question Paper under additional information (a) the
m
c. o
second acquisition of 13,50,000 equity shares on 1 st January 2025 has
m
co m
been done at ` 1,55,25,000. This implies that fair value per share is

m .
` 11.50 (1,55,25,000/13,50,000). However, in the last para of the question
s e
s e g
at the same page, the fair value of R Ltd.’s share is mentioned as ` 14 per
l a
l a share on the date of acquisition.
a
ag The above solution has been drawn considering fair value of R Ltd.’s share
as ` 14 per share for the purpose of computation of gain or loss on
existing stake and bargain purchase.
However, alternatively one can draw a solution considering fair value of
R Ltd.’s share as ` 11.5 per share for the purpose of computation of gain
or loss on existing stake and bargain purchase only. In such a case, the
amount of consolidated retained earnings and bargain purchase i.e.

m
capital reserve will be ` 1,87,78,125 and ` 62,62,500 respectively.
2.

Furthermore, the above solution has been drawn considering goodwill

s em
being residuary in nature, has no fair value. However, one may draw a

l a
solution considering goodwill as an identifiable asset.

contribution levels and overall liabilities of the plan to pay benefits. On

m .
1st April, 2024, the actuaries advised that the present value of the defined
s e
se l a
ag
benefit obligation was ` 90 lakhs. On the same day, the fair value of the

l a
ag
assets of the defined benefit plan was ` 78 lakhs. On 1 st April, 2024, the
annual market yield on high quality corporate bonds  was 6%. During the
year ended 31 st March, 2025, XYZ Ltd. made contributions of ` 10,50,000
into the plan and the plan paid out benefits of ` 6,30,000 to retired
members. Assume that both these payments were made on
31st March, 2025. The actuaries advised that the current service cost for
the year ended 31 st March, 2025 was ` 9,30,000.
On 28th February, 2025, the rules of the plan were amended with

XYZ Ltd. made payments of ` 11,25,000 to the employees affected by the
redundancies in compensation for the curtailment of their benefits. These
payments were made out of the assets of the retirement benefits plan. On

(b) (i) Initial carrying amount of loan in books

Loan amount received = USD 30,000

Present value of loan

Cash flow of interest USD 30,000 x 8% = 2,400 for 6 years.

PV of cash flow of interest USD 2,400 x 4.2305 = 10,153.20

PV of Repayment of loan USD 30,000 x 0.5346 = 16,038.00

Total 26,191.20

When effective interest rate is different from the contractual rate, it
results into transaction cost due to which the initial present value of
the loan is different from the transaction price. Accordingly, here
difference of USD 3,808.80 (USD 30,000 – USD 26,191.20) will be
recorded as transaction cost.

As per Ind AS 21, foreign currency transactions are initially recorded
at the rate of exchange in force when the transaction was first
recognized.

Loan to be converted in Rupees (`) = USD 26,191.20 x ` 74/
USD = ` 19,38,149

Therefore, the loan would initially be recorded at ` 19,38,149.

(ii) Calculation of Finance Cost for the year 2024-2025

The finance cost = USD 26,191.20 x 11% = USD 2,881

The finance cost would be recorded at an average rate for the period
since it accrues over a period of time. Hence, the finance cost for
financial year 2024-2025 in Rupees (`) is ` 2,07,432 (USD 2,881 x
` 72/USD)

The actual payment of interest would be recorded at USD 2,400 x

to build an asset for consideration of ` 1,20,00,000 with a bonus of
` 35,00,000 if the asset is completed within 30 months. At the inception of
the contract, Shivank Limited correctly accounted for the promised bundle of
goods and services as a single performance obligation in accordance with
Ind AS 115 and expected the costs to be ` 71,00,000. At the same time, it
was concluded that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the
amount of cumulative revenue recognised will occur. Completion of the asset
was highly susceptible to factors outside of the Company's influence, mainly
due to difficulties with the supply of components.
At 31 st March, 2024, Shivank Limited had satisfied 60% of its performance
obligation on the basis of costs incurred to date and concluded that the
variable consideration was still constrained in accordance with Ind AS 115.
However, on 30 th April, 2024, the contract was modified with the result that
the fixed consideration and expected costs increased by ` 15,50,000 and
` 7,60,000 respectively. The time allowable for achieving the bonus was
extended by four months with the result that Shivank Limited concluded that
it is highly probable that the bonus will be achieved and that the contract
remained a single performance obligation.

Answer
(a) For the year 2023-2024
Shivank Limited accounts for the promised bundle of goods and services
as a single performance obligation satisfied over time in accordance with
Ind AS 115. At the inception of the contract, Shivank Limited expects the
following:
Transaction price – ` 1,20,00,000
Expected costs – (` 71,00,000)
Expected profit (40.83%) – ` 49,00,000
At contract inception, Shivank Limited excludes ` 35,00,000 bonus from the
transaction price because it has been concluded that it is highly probable
that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognised
will occur. Completion of the construction of asset is highly susceptible to
factors outside the entity’s influence.
By the end of the first year, the entity has satisfied 60% of its performance
obligation on the basis of costs incurred to date. Costs incurred to date
are therefore ` 42,60,000 and Shivank Limited reassesses the variable
consideration and concludes that the amount is still constrained. Therefore
at 31st March 2024, the following would be recognised:
Revenue (A) – ` 72,00,000 (` 1,20,00,000 x 60%)
Costs (B) – (` 42,60,000) (` 71,00,000 x 60%)
Gross profit (C) i.e.(A-B) – ` 29,40,000
For the year 2024-2025
On 30th April 2024, the contract was modified. As a result, the fixed
consideration and expected costs increase by ` 15,50,000 and ` 7,60,000,
respectively.

of ` 1,00,000 (` 5,00,000 – ` 4,00,000) would be adjusted to retained

(c) EITHER
Exceptional items is neither defined in Division II Schedule III nor in Ind AS.
However, paragraph 85, 86, 97 and 98 of Ind AS 1 has reference to such
items.
Para 85 of Ind AS 1 states that additional line items, headings and subtotals
in the statement of profit and loss shall be presented, when such
presentation is relevant to an understanding of the entity’s financial
performance.
Further, para 86 of Ind AS 1 states that disclosing the components of
financial performance assists users in understanding the financial
performance achieved and in making projections of future financial
performance. An entity considers factors including materiality and the
nature and function of the items of income and expense.
Para 97 of Ind AS 1 states that when items of income or expense are
material, an entity shall disclose their nature and amount separately.
As per Ind AS 1, materiality depends on the size and nature of the omission
or misstatement judged in the surrounding circumstances. The size or
nature of the item, or a combination of both, could be the determining
factor.
The format of Statement of Profit and Loss requires determination of
profit(loss) before exceptional items and tax and thereafter exceptional
items are required to be shown.
Hence, all material items are not exceptional items. In other words,
exceptional items are those items which meet the test of ‘materiality’ (size
and nature) and the test of ‘incidence’.
Generally, items of income or expense fulfilling the above-mentioned
criteria are classified as exceptional items and are disclosed separately.

Income and expenses are the elements of financial statements that relate
to an entity’s financial performance. Users of financial statements need
information about both an entity’s financial position and its financial
performance. Hence, although income and expenses are defined in terms
of changes in assets and liabilities, information about income and expenses
is just as important as information about assets and liabilities.
Providing information separately about income and expenses with different
characteristics can help users of financial statements to understand the
entity’s financial performance.

entity intends to restate the comparative amounts for the prior period in
which the error occurred i.e. year ended 31 st March, 2024.
You are required to analyze the above issues and give your recommendation
as to their treatment in preparation of the financial statements for the
financial year 2024-2025. (4 Marks)
Answer
(a) (i) In the given scenario, to streamline its financial reporting processes,
Koyal Ltd. should leverage Robotic Process Automation (RPA) to
automate the process of extracting financial data from the subsidiary
systems and consolidating it into the parent company's financial
system.
The bots retrieve the relevant financial information, perform necessary
currency conversions, and reconcile intercompany transactions,
ensuring accurate and timely consolidation.
RPA bots are programmed to identify intercompany transactions within
the consolidated financial data. The bots automatically eliminate these
transactions by adjusting the corresponding accounts and generating
elimination entries, simplifying the process and reducing the potential
for errors.
The bots retrieve the consolidated financial data from the parent
company's financial system and apply the necessary consolidation
adjustments. They perform calculations for non-controlling interests,
equity, and comprehensive income attributable to the parent and non-
controlling interests.
The bots generate the consolidated balance sheet, income statement,
statement of changes in equity, and cash flow statement, ensuring
accuracy and consistency in the financial reporting process.
(ii) In the given scenario, to streamline its financial reporting processes
and to handle sensitive customer data, an entity should utilize
blockchain technology. Doham Ltd., being a financial institution, can
implement a secure and encrypted blockchain network to store and
share customer data. The finance professional can ensure the integrity
and security of the data by leveraging blockchain's cryptographic

(c) As per paragraph 41 of Ind AS 8, errors can arise in respect of the
recognition, measurement, presentation or disclosure of elements of
financial statements. Financial statements do not comply with Ind AS if
they contain either material errors or immaterial errors made intentionally
to achieve a particular presentation of an entity’s financial position,
financial performance or cash flows.
Issue 1
In accordance with the guidance provided above, the reclassification of
liabilities from non-current to current would be considered as correction
of an error under Ind AS 8. Accordingly, in the financial statements for
the year ended 31 st March 2025, the comparative amounts as at 31 st March
2024 would be restated to reflect the correct classification.
Issue 2
The reclassification of expenses from finance costs to other expenses would
be considered as correction of an error under Ind AS 8. Accordingly, in the
financial statements for the year ended 31 st March 2025, the comparative
amounts for the year ended 31 st March 2024 would be restated to reflect
the correct classification.
In the given case, the retrospective restatement of relevant items in
statement of profit and loss has no effect on the information in the balance
sheet at the beginning of the preceding period (1 st April 2023). Therefore,
the entity is not required to present a third balance sheet.
