n commercial property development. Moonstar Co has had some difficulties over the last few years, with some developments not generating the expected returns and the company has at times struggled to pay its finance costs. As a result Moonstar Co’s credit rating has been lowered, affecting the terms it can obtain for bank finance. Although Moonstar Co is listed on its local stock exchange, 75% of the share capital is held by members of the family who founded the company. The family members who are shareholders do not wish to subscribe for a rights issue and are unwilling to dilute their control over the company by authorising a new issue of equity shares. Moonstar Co’s board is therefore considering other methods of financing the development, which the directors believe will generate higher returns than other recent investments, as the country where Moonstar Co is based appears to be emerging from recession.
Securitisation proposals
One of the non-executive directors of Moonstar Co has proposed that it should raise funds by means of a securitisation process, transferring the rights to the rental income from the commercial property development to a special purpose vehicle. Her proposals assume that the leases will generate an income of 11% per annum to Moonstar Co over a ten-year period. She proposes that Moonstar Co should use 90% of the value of the investment for a collateralised loan obligation which should be structured as follows:
– 60% of the collateral value to support a tranche of A-rated floating rate loan notes offering investors LIBOR plus 150 basis points
– 15% of the collateral value to support a tranche of B-rated fixed rate loan notes offering investors 12%
– 15% of the collateral value to support a tranche of C-rated fixed rate loan notes offering investors 13%
– 10% of the collateral value to support a tranche as subordinated certificates, with the return being the excess of receipts over payments from the securitisation process
The non-executive director believes that there will be sufficient demand for all tranches of the loan notes from investors. Investors will expect that the income stream from the development to be low risk, as they will expect the property market to improve with the recession coming to an end and enough potential lessees to be attracted by the new development.
The non-executive director predicts that there would be annual costs of $200,000 in administering the loan. She acknowledges that there would be interest rate risks associated with the proposal, and proposes a fixed for variable interest rate swap on the A-rated floating rate notes, exchanging LIBOR for 9·5%.
However the finance director believes that the prediction of the income from the development that the non-executive director has made is over-optimistic. He believes that it is most likely that the total value of the rental income will be 5% lower than the non-executive director has forecast. He believes that there is some risk that the returns could be so low as to jeopardise the income for the C-rated fixed rate loan note holders.
Islamic finance
Moonstar Co’s chief executive has wondered whether Sukuk finance would be a better way of funding the development than the securitisation.
Moonstar Co’s chairman has pointed out that a major bank in the country where Moonstar Co is located has begun to offer a range of Islamic financial products. The chairman has suggested that a Mudaraba contract would be the most appropriate method of providing the funds required for the investment.
Required:
(a) Calculate the amounts in $ which each of the tranches can expect to receive from the securitisation arrangement proposed by the non-executive director and discuss how the variability in rental income affects the returns from the securitisation. (11 marks)
(b) Discuss the benefits and risks for Moonstar Co associated with the securitisation arrangement that the non-executive director has proposed. (6 marks)
(c) (i) Discuss the suitability of Sukuk finance to fund the investment, including an assessment of its appeal to potential investors. (4 marks)
(ii) Discuss whether a Mudaraba contract would be an appropriate method of financing the investment and discuss why the bank may have concerns about providing finance by this method. (4 marks)

try. The initial bid will be
an all share bid of four Paxis shares for every five Wragger shares.
The most recent annual data relating to the two companies are shown below:
The takeover is expected to result in cost savings in advertising and distribution, reducing the operating costs
(including depreciation) of Paxis from 76% of sales to 70% of sales. The growth rate of the combined company is
expected to be 6% per year for four years, and 5% per year thereafter. Wragger’s debt obligations will be taken over
by Paxis. The corporate tax rate is expected to remain at 30%.
Sales and costs relevant to the decision may be assumed to be in cash terms.
Required:
(a) Using free cash flow analysis for each individual company and the potential combined company, estimate
how much synergy is expected to be created from the takeover. State clearly any assumptions that you make.
Note: The weighted average cost of capital of the combined company may be assumed to be the market weighted
average of the current costs of capital of the individual companies, weighted by the current market value of debt and
equity of the combined company, with the equity of Wragger adjusted for the effect of the bid price. (20 marks)

ncrease its capital gearing
to at least 50%, in order to reduce the company’s cost of capital and increase its market value.
The managing director of Semer is not convinced by the logic of the proposal, or the accuracy of the calculations, but
is unable to explain the reasons for his reservations.
A summary of the proposal and its implications is shown below.
Proposal to increase the capital gearing of Semer plc
The company’s current weighted average cost of capital is estimated to be 10·6%. If the proportion of debt is
increased to 50% of total capital, by the repurchase of ordinary shares at their current market value, the cost of capital
may be reduced to 9·9%. A reduced cost of capital means that the value of the company will increase which will be
welcomed by our shareholders. Calculations supporting the above proposal are shown below:
(ii) The current price of Semer’s ordinary shares is 410 pence.
(iii) The market price of one 8% debenture 2010 is £112.
(iv) The market return is 10·5% and the risk free rate 4·0%.
(v) Semer’s equity beta is 1·2.
(vi) Semer currently pays £15 million in dividends.
(vii) The corporate tax rate is 30%.
(viii) The company currently generates a free cash flow of £60 million per year, which is expected to increase by
approximately 3% per year.
Required:
(a) What, if any, are the mistakes in the proposal? Correcting for any mistakes produce revised estimates of the
company’s current cost of capital and current value. Brief explanation of the reasons for any revisions should
be included. (15 marks)
