Page | 2 QUESTION 1 ACCOUNTING FOR LEASES Read the newspaper article by Leon Gettler called ‘Lion Nathan rethinks bricks and porter strategy’ and answer the questions. Lion Nathan rethinks bricks and porter strategy Leon Gettler The Age , 29 January 2004, p. 3 Lion Nathan has put its pubs operation under review, four years after embarking on an aggressive plan in which it spent $65 million on hotel assets to ratchet up its low share of the Victorian beer market. The brewer said yesterday that it was reviewing i ts ownership of 41pubs in Melbourne and Geelong after receiving expressions of interest. This is expected to involve various sale and leaseback options. Contracts for long – term supply arrangements are expected to be part of any deal. Lion Nathan is re visiting the pubs business after its rival, Foster’s, spun off its own hotels and gaming business, Australian Leisure and Hospitality. Lion Nathan’s pub -buying spree was at odds with its strategy of not owning or operating hotels, but the brewer wanted to make an exception in Victoria, the backyard of Foster’s. In June 2000, it had a 13% share of the Victorian beer market but by November 2003, Lion Nathan’s share had crept up to only 13.2%. Lion Nathan had shrewdly targeted the 18 to 25 -year -old segment in Victoria, but the strategy has been criticized because of the difficulties of coming in as an outsider and using an exclusive retail network to drive market share from such a low base. In that time, Lion Nathan had also written down the value of its V ictorian hotels. Yesterday, the group said the change did not indicate a reduction in its plans for Victoria but rather a switch in focus by increasing its investment across brands including Tooheys, Becks, Hahn, James Squire and XXXX. Analysts said yest erday that the news was in line with Lion Nathan overhauling its Victorian strategy, something which had been under way for 12 – 18 months. Lion Nathan is believed to have raised $20 million from the sale and leaseback of about a third of its Victorian p ortfolio about 12 months ago. Page | 3 In a statement to the market, Lion Nathan said it was not looking to sell individual venues and was committed to retaining ownership and control of the portfolio ‘if that will deliver the best outcome for Lion Nathan and maxi mize shareholder value’. Hotels in the brewer’s portfolio include Pugg Mahone’s and The Imperial in the central business district, the Albert Park Hotel, Limerick Arms and Golden Gate in South Melbourne and the Builders Arms in Fitzroy. Lion Nathan Austr alia Managing Director, Andrew Reeves; said yesterday; ‘Hotel ownership and management was only one part of our Victorian growth strategy, the objectives of w hich have been largely achieved. We have never viewed hotel ownership as a core business and, gi ven the recent focus on investment in the sector, we considered that now was an opportune time to review the future of these venues in our Victorian growth strategy’. Questions (a) Identify some benefits that might accrue to Lion Nathan as a result of the sale and leaseback transactions. (b) Would you expect the related leases to be finance leases or operating leases? Explain your answer. (c) How should Lion Nathan account for any profit or loss on the sale of the pubs? (d) If it sells the pubs and then leases them bac k would you expect Lion Nathan to change how it accounts for the depreciation of the buildings?

Further, if the donation is treated as revenue, how would that revenue be measured? Change of Mind Gives Gallery a $1m Surprise Georgina Safe The Australian , 28 November 2000 , p. 6 A million dollar painting, one of the most reproduced works in the country and due to be auctioned at Sotheby’s tonight, has been withdrawn and donated to the National Gallery of Victoria. The portrait Jeanne , by Australian artist Hugh Ramsay, was on sho w at Sotheby’s Melbourne auction house yesterday morning before its scheduled sale for an estimated $1million. But by 3 pm the painting, one of Ramsay’s best known works, had been delivered to the gallery’s doorstep as a surprise gift from its owner, John Wicking. The 1901 painting of Jeanne Garreau, a six -year -old French girl, had previously been on show at the gallery for 40 years. It was lent to the gallery in 1947 by Ramsay’s niece, the late Janet Wicking, but by the 1980’s she had become unhappy that the work was hung in a gloomy corridor and she withdrew it.

The painting was put up for sale, at a Sotheby’s auction of Australian and International Painting, by John Wicking on behalf of his wife, who died last year. But Mr. Wicking had second thoughts after the catalogue was printed and resolved to donate the painting to the gallery, fearing that it might otherwise leave Australia. ‘I am honoring my wife’s ambition that the painting should go to a great public institution to ensure that this masterpi ece….is enjoyed by the widest possible audience,’ Mr. Wicking said in a statement. Gallery director Gerard Vaughan said yesterday his limited acquisitions budget meant the gallery would not have been able to afford the ‘staggeringly generous’ gift at auct ion. ‘We have made it very clear to Mr. Wicking that Jeanne will take pride of place,’ Dr. Vaughan said. Page | 5 The gallery’s senior curator of Australian art, Terence Lane, said Jeanne was a masterwork that would complement the gallery’s existing collection of 10 paintings by the artist, who died of tuberculosis in Melbourne in 1906, aged 28. Thirteen of Ramasay’s paintings have been offered at auction over the past 10 years, with the highest price being $28750 for Portrait of a Young Girl , achieved in August 1994. The Australian’s market analyst, Michael Reid, said Sotheby’s had placed an ambitious value on the work and it may have been passed in at auction. ‘The asking price of $1million to $1.2 million was exceptionally strong, given the track record of Ram say over the past decade,’ Mr. Reid said. Sotheby’s managing director Paul Sumner said he was delighted the painting had gone to a public gallery where it could be seen by all Australians.
