ACCOUNTING FOR BUSINESS COMBINATION


LECTURE NOTES

THE NATURE OF BUSINESS COMBINATIONS


 Occurs when one entity gains control over another entity either through the acquisition of net
assets (must be 100%), or the acquisition of common shares (more than 50% of outstanding).
 Business combination requires the bringing together of businesses into a reporting entity. A
reporting entity can be a single entity (acquisition of net assets), or a group comprising a
parent and all of its subsidiaries (acquisition of shares).
 The business combination occurs from the stand point of the acquirer.
 All business combinations must use the purchase method. Pooling of interest method is longer
permitted.

GENERAL STEPS UNDER THE PURCHASE METHOD OF ACCOUNTING FOR THE BUSINESS
COMBINATION
1. Identification of ACQUIRER
a. Fair Value (FV) of an entity is SIGNIFICANTLY greater than the other combining
enterprise
b. the entity who will pay cash or consideration
c. management of one entity is able to dominate selection of management of the
combined entity
2. Measure the cost of the business combination at fair value.
a. The FV of the acquirer's investment cost, and the FV of the non-controlling interest in
the acquire equal the total FV of the acquiree company at the date of acquisition.
3. Measure the fair values of the net assets acquired/assumed together with contingent liabilities
that qualify for recognition
a. - an intangible item acquired in a bus. Combination must be recognize as an asset
separately from goodwill, either separable or arises from contractual or other legal
rights, and its FV can be measured reliably
4. Allocate the cost of business combination to the net assets (including contingent liabilities)
acquired and assumed.
a. -Goodwill is recognized by the acquirer as an asset from the acquisition date and is
initially measured as the excess of the cost of the business combination over the
acquirer’s share of the net FV of the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities and
contingent liabilities
5. These steps result in determining the existence of any goodwill and excess on combination
which must be accounted for.

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OF IFRS 3


a. The use of the purchase method
b. An acquirer to be identified
c. The measurement of the cost of a combination
d. The allocation of the cost of combination to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities and
contingent liabilities.
e. The assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities to be measured initially at fair value.
f. Goodwill acquired to be recognized
g. That goodwill upon recognition i subsequently accounted for as follows:
ACQUIRER NON-SME SME
AMORTIZATION no yes
IMPAIRMENT TEST yes yes
That any excess on combination be accounted for by a reassessment of the assets and liabilities
acquired and, where appropriate, by recognizing any excess immediately in profit and loss. Any such
discount (or premium) accrues only to the acquirer.
h. Disclosures of information that enable IS to evaluate the nature and effect of business
combinations effected i the current period and previous periods, as well as post balance-sheet
dates.

i. Disclosure of information that enable users to evaluate changes in the carrying amount of

ACCOUNTING FOR COST OF BUSINESS COMBINATION


The acquirer shall the cost of business combination as the aggregate of
a. The fair values at the date of exchange of assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed and
equity instruments issued by the acquirer in exchange for control of the acquiree; plus
b. Contingent costs of guarantees made, if measurable and probable at the date of acquisition
on: (1) market value of the shares issued; a and/or (2) amount of net income sustained over
a specified period.
c. Direct acquisition costs, if the acquirer is an SME.

1. ACQUISITION of Net Assets


a. Acquiring corporation must negotiate with management to obtain the assets (and
assume liabilities) of the corporation being acquired.
• Statutory MERGER- two or more corporation merge into a single entity which shall
be one of the constituent corporation.
• Statutory CONSOLIDATION- two or more corporation consolidate and form a NEW
company
2. ACQUISITION of STOCKS – an acquiring company may acquire MAJORITY interest of
outstanding common share or control of a corporation and the separate legal entities of each
enterprise are preserved by both continue their legal existence.
Acquisition cost:
• Consideration Paid
cash payment – measured at Face Value
Non- cash – FV of non-cash
Equity securities – Market value of shares
• Contingent consideration
- measured at FV at the date of acquisition
Other Related Costs:
1. Direct Costs – cost incurred related to bus. Combination
e.g. professional fees paid to accountants
- treated as OUTRIGHT expense
2. Indirect Costs – cost incurred not directly related to bus. Combination
e.g. salaries of officers
- treated as OUTRIGHT expense
3. Stock issue costs – when shares are issued for the acquisition of net assets.
- treated as a reduction from the APIC to the extent amount recorded when shares are
issued, any excess is treated as expense.
4. Debt Security cost – costs of issuing Bonds
- treated as part of Bond Issue cost

Non-controlling Interest in Net Assets of subsidiary


NCINAS or (MINAS)
-Under PFRS 3, parent entity is acquiring majority holding in an entity whose shares
are dealt in on a recognized market. NCI can be measured using:
1. Fair value of the NCI of acquiree
-should not be lower the proportionate share
2. A proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets.

ACCOUNTING TREATMENT ON SOME SPECIFIC COST ITEMS

1. Cash or other monetary assets. The fair value of the cash and cash equivalents dispersed is
usually readily determinable. But if the settlement is deferred to a time subsequent to the
exchange date the fair value of that deferred component shall be the present value at the date
of exchange.
2. Non- monetary assets. These consist of assets such s property, plant a and equipment,
investments, licenses and patents. The acquirer is effectively selling the non-monetary asset
to the acquiree. Hence it is earning revenue equal to the fair value on the sale of the assets
and realizing a gain or incurring a loss if the carrying amount differs from the fair
3. Equity instruments. If an acquirer issues its own shares as consideration it will need to
determine the fair value of those shares at the date of exchange.
4. Liabilities undertaken- - the fair value of the liabilities undertaken al best measured by the
present value of future cash flows. Note that expected future losses and cost, as a result of
the combination are not liabilities of the acquirer and therefore not included ir the calculation
of the fair value of consideration paid.
5. Contingencies - Where the business combination agreement provides for an adjustment to
the cost of the combination contingent on future events, the acquirer shall include the amount
of that adjustment in the cost of the combination at the acquisition date if the adjustment is
probable and can be measured reliably.
6. Directly attributable costs; it includes costs such as professional fees paid to accountants,
legal advisers. valuers and other consultants to effect the combination. Also included in the
cost category are finders fees and brokerage fees. These are recognized as expenses if
acquirer is a non-SME.
7. Other cost that are not directly attributable to the business combination are
a. Cost to issue and register the shares issued by the acquirer are treated as a reduction in
the total fair value of the shares issued and are i recognized in equity and
b. Indirect acquisition costs recognized expenses.

ALLOCATING THE COST OF BUSINESS COMBINATION:


1. Identifiable tangible assets: are recognized if it is probable that any associated future
economic benefits will flow to the acquirer; and its fair value can be measured reliably
2. Intangible assets: are recognized if it's fair value can be measured reliably. Note that, unlike
tangible assets there is no probability test only a reliability test.

Page | 3 BUSINESS COMBINATION_LECTURE


CABRIA CPA REVIEW CENTER
3. Liabilities- are recognized if it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic
benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and its fair value can be measured reliably.
4. Contingent assets and liabilities
Contingent assets not yet recognized under phase I of IFRS 3
Contingent liabilities the only test for recognition of contingent liabilities is the reliability
test, the probability test is assumed to be met because the fair value measurement
takes the probability factors into consideration. Hence, contingent liabilities not
recognized in the records of the acquiree may be recognized in the records of the
acquirer as a result of the business combination.

Conditions for Consolidated Statements
Generally, statements are to be consolidated when a parent company owns over 50% of the voting
common stock of another company thereby having a controlling interest. However, control may be
achieved even with less than 51% of the voting common stock is owned by the parent. In such
case, the consolidated statements may be prepared in view of the unified managerial control.

Techniques of Consolidation

The basic procedure to consolidate the statement of financial position is to eliminate the
Investment account on the parent company’s statement of financial position against the
stockholder’s equity accounts in the statement of financial position of the subsidiary company. After
this, the remaining assets and liabilities of the parent company are then combined with the specific
assets and liabilities of the subsidiary company.

Measurement of Non-controlling Interest

IFRS 3 provides two options of measuring non-controlling interest in an acquire:


1. At fair value, or
2. At the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets
Under option 1, any goodwill that arises at the time of acquisition is allocated between the parent
and the non-controlling interest (NCI)
Under option 2, any goodwill that arises at the time of acquisition is assigned only to the parent.
*NCI – if PROBLEM is silent, - use whichever is HIGHER bet. FV vs. Proportionate

ACQUISITION OF STOCKS: SEPARATE AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS-


SUBSEQUENT TO DATE OF ACQUISITION

Consolidated FS are prepared when an entity controls one or more other entities.

Control
An investor, regardless of the nature of its involvement with an entity (the investee), determines
whether it is a parent by assessing whether it controls the investee.
Pre-requisites on control
A. Power over the investee
B. Exposure, or rights, to variable returns for its investment with the investee; and
C. The ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns.
THE CONSOLIDATION PROCESS
The approach followed to prepare a complete set of consolidated financial statements
subsequent to acquisition is quite similar to that used to prepare a consolidated statement of financial
position as of the date of acquisition. However, in addition to the Statement of Financial Position, the
Statement of Comprehensive Income and Retained Earnings Statement of the consolidating
companies must be combined.

ACCOUNTING PROCEDURES
When preparing consolidated financial statements, an entity must use uniform accounting
policies for reporting like transactions and other events in similar circumstances. If a member of the
group uses accounting policies other than those adopted in the consolidated financial statements for
like transactions and events in similar circumstances, appropriate adjustments are made to that
group member's financial statements in preparing the consolidated financial statements to ensure
conformity with the group's accounting policies.
Consolidation of an investee shall begin from the date the investor obtains control of the
investee and cease when the investor losses control of the investee.
Consolidated financial statements are prepared using the following basic accounting
procedures:
a. Combine like items of assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows of the parent
with those of its subsidiaries.
b. Eliminate the carrying amount of the parent's investment in each subsidiary and the parent's
portion of equity of each subsidiary (IFRS3 explains how to account for the difference).
c. Eliminate in full intercompany assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows
relating to transactions between entities of the group (profits or losses resulting from
intercompany transactions that are recognized in assets, such an inventory and fixed assets,
are eliminated in full). Intercompany losses may indicate an impairment that requires
recognition in the consolidated financial statements

Consolidated Comprehensive Income


Because consolidation subsequent to a subsidiary's acquisition involves changes that take
place over time, the resulting financial statements test heavily on the concepts of consolidated
comprehensive income.
Consolidated comprehensive income may be computed using two approaches, the parent company
approach and the entity approach. In the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and
retained earnings, consolidated comprehensive income is allocated to on-controlling interests and
the controlling interest (equity holders of the parent company).

Parent Company Approach


Under the parent company approach, consolidated comprehensive income is that part of the
total enterprise's income that is assigned to the parent company's stockholders. For wholly owned
subsidiary, all income of the parent and its subsidiaries accrues to the Parent company. For partially

Page | 9 BUSINESS COMBINATION_LECTURE


CABRIA CPA REVIEW CENTER
owned subsidiary, a portion of its income accrues to its non-controlling shareholders and is excluded
from consolidated net income.
In simple cases, consolidated comprehensive income equals the total earnings for all companies
consolidated, less any income recorded by the parent from the consolidating companies and any
income assigned to NCI.

ACCOUNTING FOR INVESTMENT IN A SUBSIDIARY


When stocks are acquired, the acquirer investor maintains the Investment account on a
continuous basis. The acquirer may choose two methods when accounting for its investment in stock:
the cost method or the equity method.

Cost Method
The cost method is used when the acquirer Parent) owns directly or indirectly more than half
of the voting power of an entity (Subsidiary), thereby exercising control (IAS 27).
Under this method, the Investment in Subsidiary account is retained at its original cost of-acquisition
(consideration given) balance. Income on the investment is limited to dividends received from the
subsidiary.

Equity Method
The equity method is used when the acquirer/investor owns 20% or more (less than 50%) of
the voting power of the investee/acquire, thereby exercising significant influence over the operations
of the investees (IFRS 12).
Under this method, the investment account is initially recorded at cost and is increased or decreased
to recognize the investors share of the income or loss of the investee after the date of acquisition.
Dividends received from an investee reduce the investment account balance. Adjustments to the
investment account may also be necessary for changes arising from revaluation of assets and
liabilities of the investee.

Cost Method and Equity Method Compared


Consolidated statements are the same under both methods. However, the working Paper
eliminating entries used in the two methods are different.
IAS27 – prescribes the use of Consolidated Financial Statements

INTERCOMPANY SALE OF INVENTORY

Intercompany Sales at Cost


Merchandise sometimes is sold to related affiliate at the seller's cost. When an intercompany sale
includes no profit or loss, the inventory amounts at the end of the period require no adjustment for
consolidation because purchasing affiliates inventory carrying amount is the same as the cost to the
selling affiliate and the consolidated entity sold by the affiliate making the outside sale is the cost to
the consolidated entity.
Even when the intercompany sale includes no profit or loss, however, an eliminating entry is
needed to remove the intercompany sale and the related cost of goods so recorded by the seller.
Page | 13 BUSINESS COMBINATION_LECTURE
CABRIA CPA REVIEW CENTER
This avoids overstating these two accounts. Consolidated comprehensive income is not affected by
the eliminating entry when the intercompany sale is made at cost because both sales revenue and
cost of goods sold are reduced by the same amount.

Intercompany Sales at a Profit or Loss


Companies usually mark-up sale of inventory to affiliates by a certain percentage of cost. The
elimination process must remove the effects of such sales from the consolidated statements.
When intercompany sales include profits or losses, the working paper eliminations needed for
consolidation in the period of sale have two goals:
1. Elimination of the effects in the statement of CI of the intercompany sale in the period of sale,
removing the sales revenue from the intercompany sale and the related costs of goods sold
recorded by the selling affiliate.
2. Elimination from the inventory on the Statement of Financial Position of any profit or loss on
the intercompany sale that has not been confirmed or realized by resale of the inventory to
outsiders.

Inventory reported in the consolidated statement of financial position must be reported at cost to the
consolidated entity. Therefore, if profits or losses have been recorded on the inventory acquired in
an intercompany sale, those profits or losses must be eliminated to state the inventory in the
consolidated statement of financial position at its cost to the consolidated entity.

Effect of Inventory System Used


Most companies use either a perpetual or a periodic inventory system to keep track of
inventory and cost of goods sold. Under a perpetual inventory system, a purchase of merchandise
is debited directly to the Inventory account; a sale requires a debit to Cost of Goods Sold account
and a credit to Inventory account for the cost of the item. When a periodic system is used, a purchase
of merchandise is debited to Purchases account other than to Inventory, and no entry is made to
recognize cost of goods sold until the end of the accounting period.
The choice between periodic and perpetual inventory systems results in a different entry on
the books of the individual companies and, therefore, slightly different working paper eliminating
entries in preparing consolidated financial statements. Because most companies use perpetual
inventory systems, the discussions in the chapter focus on the consolidation procedures used in
connection with perpetual inventories.

DOWNSTREAM SALE OFINVENTORY


Downstream intercompany sales of merchandise are those from a parent company to its
subsidiaries. For consolidation purposes, profits recorded on an intercompany inventory sale are
realized in the period in which the inventory is resold to outsiders.

Until the point of resale, all intercompany profits must be deferred. Consolidated CI must be
based on the realized income of the selling affiliate. If the intercompany sales of merchandise are
made by the parent company or by a wholly owned subsidiary, there is no effect on any NCI in CI or
loss, because the selling affiliate does not have NCI.
When a company sells merchandise to an affiliate, one of two situations results: (1) the
merchandise is resold to outsiders during the same period, and (2) the merchandise is resold to
outsiders during the next period resulting to unrealized profit in ending

UPSTREAMSALE OFINVENTORY
Upstream intercompany sales are those from subsidiaries to the parent company. When an
upstream sale of inventory occurs, and the inventory is resold by the parent to outsider during the
same period, all the parent entries and the eliminating entries in the consolidated working paper are
identical to those in the downstream case.

When the inventory is not resold to outsiders before the end of the period, working paper
eliminating entries are different from the downstream case only by the apportionment of the
unrealized intercompany to both the controlling and NCI. The intercompany profit in an upstream
sale is recognized by the subsidiary and shared between the controlling interest and NCI. Therefore,
the elimination of the unrealized intercompany profit must reduce the interests of both ownership
groups until the profit is realized by resale of the inventory to outsiders.
