Assignment Problem Three - 4 (Complex Business Combination) The Haggard Corporation Limited (Haggard, hereafter), a federally chartered Canadian company, has concluded negotiations with the Jones Corporation Limited (Jones, hereafter) for the purchase of all of the latter corporation s assets at fair market value, effective January 1, Jones Corporation Limited operates a restaurant and a catering business. An examination at that date by independent experts disclosed that the fair market value of Jones inventories was $150,000, and of its machinery and equipment was $160,000. The original cost of the machinery and equipment was $140,000. It was determined that accounts receivable were fairly valued at book value. Jones held 1,000 of the common shares of Haggard and the fair market value of these shares was $62,000. This value corresponds with the value of Haggard s common shares in the open market and would be expected to hold for transactions involving a substantially larger number of shares. The purchase agreement provides that the total purchase price of all assets will be $490,000, payable as follows:

5 Page 8 1. Assumption of the current liabilities of Jones at their book value; 2. Settlement of the Jones debenture debt at its current value in a form acceptable to Jones debenture holders; 3. Haggard shares held by Jones and acquired by Haggard as a result of the transaction would be subsequently returned to Jones at fair market value as part of the consideration; 4. Haggard holds 1,000 shares of Jones and these would be returned to Jones. The value to be ascribed to these shares is 1/10 of the difference between the total purchase price of all assets stated above ($490,000), less the current value of its liabilities. 5. The balance of the purchase consideration was to be entirely in Haggard common shares, except for a possible fractional share element which would be paid in cash. The Jones debenture holders, who are neither shareholders of Haggard nor Jones, have agreed to accept Haggard bonds in an amount equal to $88,626, the current market value of the bonds. The Haggard bonds carry a 12 percent coupon and trade at par. The face value of each bond is $1,000. Any amounts assigned to goodwill in this business combination will be deductible for tax purposes as cumulative eligible capital up to a maximum of 75 percent. Jones, upon conclusion of the agreement, would be wound up. The of both corporations, as at the date of implementation of the purchase agreement (January 1, 2009), are as follows: As At January 1, 2009 Haggard Jones Cash $ 100,000 Nil Accounts Receivable 288,000 $112,000 Inventories At Cost 250, ,000 Investment In Jones (1,000 Shares) 20,000 N/A Investment In Haggard (1,000 Shares) N/A 40,000 Machinery And Equipment - Net 412, ,000 Total Assets $1,070,000 $376,000 Current Liabilities $ 60,000 $ 35,000 7% Debentures - Due December 31, 2011 N/A 100,000 12% Bonds - Due December 31, ,000 N/A Premium On Bonds 20,000 N/A Common Stock (See Note) 200, ,000 Retained Earnings 290, ,000 Total Equities $1,070,000 $376,000 Note Each company has issued 10,000 shares.
