by the way, to answer your Goodwill concern...
total assets without goodwill = 89.1
total liabilities is 39.3
then why they need 110 for the goodwill? calculate la... their common stock value at bursa is "a lot", which is also their equity, how to put that in Asset? goodwill la.
If dont want to count the stock market value and goodwill
The assets is much higher than liabilities...
what's the problem here for the company?
If the "equity" being evaluated at high price because of merger or acquisition, then the goodwill is dangerous,
but the case here is not, here is pure to write off the common stock market value.
I guess you oledi figure out something on your own.
The co or so called the group is formed by buying up several smaller cos ( subsidiaries ).
Goodwill is created when you pay more for the actual costs of assets ( something like paying for premium ),including patents.
It is an acceptable practice since it takes a long time to build up a brand such as Cola-Cola , KFC or Genting. And you start to enjoy the profits right away ( a new business may take a few years to break even ).
But the danger is it could be misused e.g to buy related companies at inflated prices i.e unproductive assets and not generating good profits. The major owner may receive something back in return ( or actual seller of the business) , leaving the minority to suffer ( expect nothing but share price drops ).
usually the payment to buy up the business is through issuing of more shares. ( or cash ). More shares means diluted unless the earnings go up in the same manner ( or more ).
So form your own judgment.
