46
Hedged item
asset; liability; firm commitment; highly probably forecast transaction; or net investment in a foreign operation that exposes the entity to risk of changes in fair values or future cash flows

53
IFRS 9 initial measurement
most valued at fair value +/- transaction costs (add to asset deduct from liability). Assets held at FV through P/L exclude transaction csts. Movement for these & transaction costs go through P&L
54
Hedge accounting conditions
consists only of eligble hedging instruments and eligible hedged items; changes in FV or cash flows must have the potential to affect p&l; formal designation and doc of relationship; expected to be highly effective; economic relationship between item and instrument; effect of crredit risk doesn't dominate calue change; hedge ratio is same for item and relationship effectiveness of hedge must be reliably measured
55
Types of hedge
Fair value (immediate on P&L); cash flow (specifically identifiable; highly probable; external party); hedged of net investments in a foreign operation
56
Cash flow hedge accounting
gain or loss on effective portiion (up to value or loss of gain) is recognised in reserves/OCI (and transferred to P&L when cash flow is recognised). Any excess is recognised immeditately in P&L

70
Dividend valuration model - zero growth
ke = d/p0. In this case Ke=PAT / Market Cap or EPS/SP
71
Dividend valuration model - constant growth
ke = d1/P0 + g
72
Estimating growth
g = r x b (roce / return on assets x proportion of funds reinvested) or historic growth rates
73
Capital asset priceing model
k= Rf + (Rm-Rf)B. Rm-Rf = market risk premium. Rm = return on market as a whole
74
CAPM advantages
A: direclty links risk and return; calculate cost of equirt when div not growing constantly
75
CAPM disadvantages
can only be used when investors are diversified; assumes components stay the same (single perod); assumes investors can invest and borrow at risk free; assumes cap markets are perfect (no transaction csots; no tax; no dominant investor); beta values are based on historic data
76
Lenders percetion of risk
STRAP - securtiy offered; timeframe; repayment profile; amount requested; purpose
77
Credit ratings
A - high quality; BBB and BB - medium; B - speculative; C - poor and highly speculative
78
Types of security
fized charge - specific asset ; floating charge - not against specigic asset
79
convenant
requires or forbids certain actions e.g. keep ratios within …; keep accounts prepared; don’t pay dividends; don’t sell assets
80
interest rate risks
risk that loans are not renewed; gearing risk; risk of changing rates
81
Interest rate swaps
allows companies to switch between variable and fixed rate. Low costs; flexible; compaies with different credit ratings can borrow at best cost; allow capital restructuting. BUT counterparty risk; difficult to find swap partner directly
82
Currency swaps
get loan in different country through swap
83
Identifying a lease
conveys the right to control the use of an idenrified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
84
Accounting treatment of lease - right use of asset
initially at cost then depericate over shorter of lease term and useful life but if reasonable certainty ownership will be obtained then useful life
85
Actuarial method
use implicit interest rate to add to running balance and deduct payments
86
Sum of digits method
n(n+1)/2 n=number of interest-bearing payments then line up backwards against years
87
Matching
duration; currency; pattern of cash flows
88
Finance costs
Issue costs (arrangement fees; underwriting fees; advisers fees); on-going servicing cost (dividends; interest; tax; reporting/info required)
89
Thin capitalisation
aims to stop compaines getting excessive tax relief on interest
90
WACC
Multiple spurces needs formula extension. Can use for hurdle rate of projects but risks must stay the same
91
Components of risk
business risk - beta factor. Financial risk
92
Portfolio and business risk
diversification eliminates unsystematic risk leaving systematic risk (general market factors) which is measured by a beta factor
93
Impact of debt - traditional theory
Adding debt makes sense up to a certain point. If gerating gets too high cost of equity and debt rise so WACC rises
94
Impact of debt - M&M (no tax)
As debt increases the benefits are offset by cost of equity increasing so WACC stays constant
95
Impact of debt - M&M (with tax)
because of tax relief lower cost of debt outweighs cost of equity increasing therefore use as much debt as possible
96
M&M assumptions
debt is always risk free; perfect capital markets; individuals and companies can borrow at the same rate; investors are indifferent between personally or corporate gearing
97
Impact of capital structure on company value -M&M with tac
Vg = Vu +TB (value ungeared + Tax*MV of debt)
98
Dividend policy - general factors
What do shareolders want? How will markets perceive the dividend announcement? Is there cash to pay a dividend? Tax implications? Availability and conditions surrounding debt financing? Are profits consistent / stable? Competitior policy?
99
Dividend policies
stable; constant %; zero dividends; residual theory; irrelevancy thoery
100
Share buyouts
A: doesn’t lead to future div expectations; may be favourable from an investor tax perspective; fewer shares therefore increase EPS and PS. D: increased div are sign of strength; often only big institutions benefit
101
Scrip dividends
Additional shares free of charge instead of cash
102
Reasons why valuation needed
seeking stock market floatation; buying another business; sell all or part; for banks lending; for tax purposes
103
Methods of valuation
asset based; earnings based; cash flow based
104
Asset based valuation
book values (only at historic); realiseable value (minimum acceptable price); replacement cost (more appropriate if trying to duplicate a business)
105
Asset based valuation (advantages and disadvantages)
A: quick and simple; gives starting point or minimum val; D: not as food at valuing on going potential; does not consider assets not on SoFP e.g. intangible; reliant on account conventions
106
Earnings based
P/E ratio. May need to adjust profit to get sustainable earnings. Earnings yield
107
Earnings val advantages and disadvantages
A: quick; considers future potential; useful for valuing unquoted; good for valueing a controlling company; D: adjustments needed; based on profit not cash; which P/E to use in a takeover
108
Cash flow based valuations
FCF to equity: PBIT + Dep - Tax - Capex - Interest + proceeed from disposal of fixed assets + changes in working capital + new debt raised - debt repaid
109
Cash flow based val - adv and disadv
A: considers future potential; can be used to value any; considers time value. D: future cash flows are estimates; requires a cost of capital to be estimated
110
Dividend yield
MV of shared = Div / Div yield. Div yeild = DPS / SP
111
Dividend growth model
rearrange to estimate value of equity in business. Views cash flows the shareholder might receive rather than overall cash flows gernerated
112
Dividend growth model - adv and disdvan
A: considers future cash flows to shareholder; relevant for minority interests. D: assumed fividends grow at a constant rate forever; requires a cost of equity to be estimated; spurious results arise for businesses that don’t pay dividends or where growth > cost of equity
113
Forms of intellectual capital
human; intellectual assets (drawings; software; reports etc.); intellactual property (patents; copyrights etc)
114
Valuation of intellectual capital
Calculated intagible value (CIV) - estimate annual return and then value as perpertuity. Market to book values - market cap - book value of assets (if no shre price use earnings based valuation). Tobins Q = market cap - replacement cost of assets
115
Efficient market hypothesis
Weak form - only historic info and tends in shre price are in current share price. Semi strong - adds all publically available new info. Strong form - adds all privately known info of the directors
116
Why acquire another business
improced market reach; eliminate competitor; asset strin and undervalued target; gain economies of scale/improve efficience/use big data; use of surplus cash
117
Operating economies
economies of scale; elimination of inefficeinces in target; staff reductions; combining expertise; vertical integration
118
Financial economies
financial (raising capital); tax; reduced risk
119
Other M&A benefits
acquiring new technology; knowledge and expertise / big data; quicker growth than organic
120
Forms of consideration
cash; shares; convertibles; bonds / loan stock issued to target company shareholders; earn-out arrangement
121
Cash acquistions
1. value business; 2. suggest an initial offer abover the current share price but belwo maximum the business would be prepared to pay; 3. consider the likelihood of acceptance by other party and other factors
122
Acquistions with share exchagnges - max to pay
MV(A+B) - MV(A)
123
Regulation of takehovers
Market power; bid behaviour (sufficient info given to allow informed decisions; directors must allow shareholders to make decision; if control (30%) is acquired then a general offer to all remaining shareholders is normally required)
124
Defensice tactics - pre-bid
Effective comms with shareolders; poison pill; flip-in pills; alter constitution to require super majority (shark repellent); asset revaluation to make SoFP look healthier
125
Defensive tactics - post bid
Revised financial targets; issue rejection letter; look for white knight; try to get bid referred to competition authorities; issue negative statements about the bidders style; cultrue; counterbid for the the predator company
126
Post acquistion integration rules
1. share a common core of unity; acquires ask "what can we offer them?"; acquirer treat with respect; acquirer provide top management with relevant company within a year; cross-company promotions of staff within one year
127
Post-acquistion value enhancement strategies
Review business units for cost cutting and synergies; consider staffing and possible redundancies; good comms of post-acq intentions; identify economies of scale; review of redundant assets and resource audit; strong marketing campaign implemented; align corporate objectives
128
Impact on stakeholders
shareholders in predator will want vfm; shareholders in target want decent price in correct format; stock market and regulator want rules followed; suppliers want continued relationships; employees want jobs; banks want no covenants breached
129
