2020 for a cash consideration of Shs 9,100 million and agreed to pay a further Shs
10,500 million on 1 July, 2024. Jaydon Ltd’s cost of capital stands at 5%. On that
date, Caltex Ltd had retained earnings Shs 1,109 million and the fair value of
Caltex Ltd’s identifiable net assets was Shs 14,309 million. The difference between
the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities and their book value relates

remaining useful life of 10 years at that date. This has not been adjusted in the
carrying amount of the property, plant & equipment as at 30 June, 2023.

2020 for a cash consideration of Shs 1,080 million when Mycus Ltd had retained
earnings Shs 700 million and the fair value of its identifiable net assets at that
date was Shs 10,900 million. The difference between the fair value of the
identifiable net assets of Mycus Ltd and their carrying amounts relates to Mycus
Ltd’s software that was omitted in compilation of the financial statements. The
remaining service potential of the software was estimated to be four (4) years at
acquisition date.
3. On 1 October, 2022 Jaydon Ltd acquired a further 40% of the equity shares of
Mycus Ltd for a cash consideration of Shs 16,840 million. The fair value of the
identifiable net assets of Mycus as at this date was same as their book value.
Mycus Ltd’s profits for the year ended 30 June, 2023 were Shs 3,650 million and
profits accrue evenly throughout the year. It is the group’s policy to value the
non-controlling interest at fair value. The market price of each share in Mycus Ltd
as at 1 October 2022 stood at Shs 45,000.

respectively.
