“

- Shareholder A

A

$33.50 the market value per share, while what was stated on the financial statement is the original issue price.

AMarket value per share is the price at which the share is currently trading

What does the term ‘cumulative’ in relation to thepreference shares mean?“

- Shareholder B

B

Cumulative means If all or any part of the regular dividend on the preferred stock is omitted in a given year, the amount omitted is said to be in arrears and must be paid in a subsequent year before any dividend can be paid on common stock.

Why were the outstanding dividends to preferenceshareholders not accrued as liabilities in the financialstatements?

“

- Shareholder D

D

Dividends in the arrears are not included among the liabilities of a corporation because no liability exists until a dividend is declared by the board of directors.

The amount of any dividends in arrears on preferred stock is an important factor to investors, however, and should be always disclosed by a note on balance sheet

D

Note 6: Dividend in arrears.As of December 31,2011, dividends on the $8 cumulative preferred stock were in arrears to the extent of $14 per share and amounted in total to $140,000

You mentioned just now that the ordinary shares weretraded at about 4 times book value per share at 31December 2014. Could you please show us how didyou derive the number?

BH is currently in the process of raising funds byissuing another $10,000,000 preference shares tofinance the purchase of a hotel. What is the company’srationale for choosing preference shares over long-term debt?

“

- Shareholder A

F

Debt Financing• Increases Assets available at the expense of increased liabilities• BH is contractually obligated to pay off the loan• If BH defaults on payments, the company may be forced into

bankruptcy

Equity Financing• Increases Assets available at the expense of owners equity by issuing

shares• Company usually pays a fixed dividend to preferential shareholders.• Can suspend dividend pay out.

FThis question compares between debit financing and equity financing

Is book value per share the amount ordinaryshareholders should expect to receive if BH were tocease operations and liquidate? Could you enlighten me?

“

- Shareholder C

G

Book value per share indicates the value per share if a company is liquidated at balance sheet amounts.

It is also the theoretical value per share an ordinary shareholder should receive if the company is liquidated.

However, in the event the company were to be liquidated, ordinary shareholders will have the lowest priority in terms of debt repayment.

G

I would like to ask a question relating to the assetssection of the balance sheet at 31 December 2014. Thereis an amount of $500,000 Goodwill under the assetssection. What is Goodwill? How did it arise? Do wedepreciate Goodwill just like plant assets?

“

- Shareholder D

H

Goodwill is the worth of intangible asset such as rights, privileges, and competitive advantages that do not possess any physical substance..

H

Intangible Asset Properties

Identifiable AttributableTo Future Benefits

Cost can beMeasured Reliably

Goodwill occurs only when one company buys another company, and only purchased goodwill is an intangible asset.

H

Since goodwill has an indefinite lifespan, it is tested annually for possible impairment and write down.There are no depreciation in goodwill
