Cash-in of financial assets?
Dear all,
Maybe you can help me make sense of a proposed ‘investment’, the acquisition of company X:
$10m should be paid cash to sellers, $5m debt to be assumed, but the company has $2m financial assets on its books (most likely participations in other companies) and the proposal suggests these financial assets are to be released, creating a cash-in of $2m, hence the ‘investment’ is $13m. (10+5-2).
Is my understanding correct that these type of financial assets would be classified non-operating and if assumed in a transaction, would actually increase the ‘investment’ to $17?
Many thanks for a feedback!
