Basic for qualification of opinion
The donation of computers for R270 000 made to the local school for online learning due to covid-19

asset note is overstated and operating expenses stated in the Statement of Comprehensive Income has been
understated as well.

The NAV increased from 315,6 c/share to 364,7 c/share.

5.2 MCEBENI LTD
5.2.1 The CEO, Nqobile Ndaba, currently owns 40% of the issued shares. The board of directors
decided to issue 50% of the unissued shares in July 2020.
Calculate the minimum number of shares that Nqobile must buy in July 2020 to gain control of
the company.
40% x 1 200 000 = 480 000
1 200 000 + 400 000 = 1 600 000 x 50% = 800 000
800 000 – 480 000 = 320 000 + 1 / 100
= 320 001 or 320 100 one part correct
OR
1 600 000 x 51% = 816 000 – 480 000 = 336 000
one mark one mark one mark one part mark
5.2.2 Nqobile wants to purchase the additional shares, at R12 per share without advertising the
shares to the public. Give TWO reasons why you would not approve of this arrangement.
Any TWO reasons
• As this is a public company the shares should be offered to the public. The shares should
be issued at the current market value of R17 which will bring in R6 800 000 to the
company. / NAV is R16 and the market price R17 and want to buy at R12. Company will lose
money.
• She would therefore be benefiting while the other shareholders will be disadvantaged
through dilution of the share price.
Inside trading and it unethical to withhold information to the public.
Quoting of indicator Figures
5.2.3 Nqobile wants to purchase the additional shares, at R12 per share without advertising the
shares to the public. Give TWO reasons why you would not approve of this arrangement.
Shares were issued at a price below the NAV of 2019. NAV was R14 and shares were issued at
R10.
Shares were issued at a price lower than a market price of 2019. Market price was R16 and
shares were issued for R10.
Do not accept NAV and market price for 2020 since new shares were
issued at the beginning of the year
