3. Accounting for Business
Combinations
• All business combinations must be accounted for using the
acquisition method. Acquisition Method (IFRS 3)
• The acquisition method is a process of accounting for a
business combination in which the acquirer recognizes the
identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and
any non-controlling interest in the acquiree at their
acquisition- date fair values, and records goodwill or gain
from a bargain purchase.
• As defined by IFRS 13, fair value is ‘the price that would be
received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an
orderly transaction between market participants at the
measurement date.
10/24/2025 10
Acquirer: - The entity that obtains control of the acquiree.
Acquiree: The business or businesses that the acquirer obtains control of in a business
combination.
10/24/2025 10
Accounting for Acquisition method
Direct costs:
• We expense the direct costs of a business combination
(such as accounting, legal, consulting, and finders’ fees)
other than those for the registration or issuance of equity
securities.
Registration and issuance costs:
•We charge registration and issuance costs of equity
securities issued in a combination against the fair value
of securities issued, usually as a reduction of additional
paid-in capital.
Indirect costs
• We expense indirect costs such as management
salaries, depreciation, and rent under the acquisition
10/24/2025 11
method. We also expense indirect costs incurred to
close duplicate facilities.
10/24/2025 12
Steps in the acquisition
method
• The general approach for business combinations, whether a direct
Purchase of net assets or a purchase of control, contains the
following
Steps:
1. Identify the Combinor (acquirer)
2. Determine the acquisition date.
3. Consideration Transferred for cash, shares, contingent
consideration or
liabilities incurred measured at Fair value at the
acquisition date
4. Recognize and Measure Identifiable Assets acquired
and Liabilities assumed at Fair Value on the acquisition
date.
5. Recognize and Measure Goodwill or Bargain Purchase
10/24/2025 13
Goodwill = Consideration Transferred + Non-controlling
Interest (NCI) + Fair Value of Contingent Consideration– Net
Identifiable Assets Acquired.
6. Recording individual assets and liabilities acquired
and amount paid to the acquired company Recording
security related costs
7. Recording dissolution of the acquired company
10/24/2025 14
1. Determining the acquirer:
a. If cash or other assets are distributed or
liabilities are incurred: In a business combination
effected solely through the distribution of cash or
other assets or by incurring liabilities, the entity
that distributes cash or other assets or incurs
liabilities is generally the acquiring entity.
b. If stock is exchanged: In a business combination
effected through an exchange of equity interests,
the entity that issues the equity interests or
receive larger share of voting rights in the
combined enterprise is generally the acquiring
10/24/2025 15
entity.
10/24/2025 16
• The acquirer is the entity that obtains
control of the acquiree.
• Control is defined by IFRS 10 as:
– Power over the investee,
– Exposure or rights to variable returns,
and
– The ability to use power to affect those
returns.
• Indicators of control:
– Majority voting rights,
10/24/2025 17
– Power to appoint or remove key management,
– Dominant influence through contracts or
ownership
10/24/2025 18
2. Determine the Acquisition Date
The date when the acquirer obtains control over
the acquiree.
Typically, it is when the acquirer legally transfers
consideration, acquires assets, and assumes
liabilities.
Important because all fair values are measured
at this date
10/24/2025 19
4. Recognize and Measure Identifiable
Assets,
liabilities and Non-Controlling Interest
(NCI)
At the acquisition date, the acquirer must
recognize:
All identifiable assets acquired,
All liabilities assumed, and
Any NCI in the acquiree.
Measurement Principle:
All identifiable items are measured at
fair value on the acquisition date,
regardless of how the acquiree had
10/24/2025 20
measured them before.
10/24/2025 21
5. Recognize and Measure Goodwill or Gain from a Bargain Purchase
Goodwill
• Arises when the total consideration paid (plus NCI
and any previously held interest) exceeds the fair
value of the net identifiable assets acquired.
• Formula:
• Goodwill=(Consideration Transferred + NCI + FV of
Contingent
consideration) − Fair Value of Net Identifiable Assets
• Goodwill represents:
Synergies (walta’insa) from combining operations,
Brand reputation, customer relationships, and
future economic benefits not individually
identifiable.
• Bargain Purchase (Negative Goodwill)
• Occurs when the fair value of identifiable net assets
exceeds the total
consideration.
• The acquirer reassesses the measurements, and if
10/24/2025 22
confirmed, recognizes the
excess as a gain in profit or loss on the acquisition
date.

acquisition method.
▪The valuation basis is fair value of
consideration transferred and includes the
contingent consideration, but excludes direct
combination costs.
▪The assets acquired and liabilities
assumed are recorded

Steps
Identify the Combinor (acquirer: - the entity that obtain
control of acquiree.)
1. Determine the acquisition date.
2. Consideration Transferred for cash, shares,
contingent consideration
or liabilities incurred measured at Fair value at the
acquisition date
3. Recognize and Measure Identifiable Assets
acquired and Liabilities assumed at Fair Value
on the acquisition date.
4. Recognize and Measure Goodwill or Bargain
Purchase
Goodwill = Consideration Transferred + Non-controlling
Interest (NCI) + Fair Value of Contingent Consideration–
Net Identifiable Assets Acquired.

Required
[Link]’s stock has a fair value of
$32.00 per share. Using the
acquisition method: Prepare the
necessary journal entries if Miller
dissolves Richmond so it is no
longer a separate legal entity.
b. If Miller’s stock has a fair value
of $26.00 per share, Prepare the
necessary journal entries if Miller
10/24/2025 31
dissolves Richmond so it is no
longer a separate legal entity.
10/24/2025 32
• a1. In a business combination, the accountant first
determines the total fair value of the consideration
transferred. Because Miller’s stock is valued at $32 per
share, the 50,000 issued shares are worth $1,600,000 in
total. Included in the consideration transferred is the
$100,000 acquisition-date fair value of the contingent
performance obligation.
• This $1,700,000 (1,600,000+100,000) total fair value is
compared to the
$1,510,000 fair value of Richmond’s assets and liabilities
(including the value of
IPR&D).
• The $190,000 excess fair value ($1,700,000 less
$1,510,000) is recognized as
goodwill.
• Because dissolution will occur, Richmond’s asset and
liability accounts are
transferred to Miller and entered at fair value with the
excess recorded as goodwill.
10/24/2025 33
• The $10,000 stock issue cost reduces Additional Paid-In
[Link] $20,000 direct
combination costs (accounting and legal fees) are expensed
when incurred.

b. If the fair value of Miller’s stock is

10/24/2025 38
is $110,000 less than the $1,510,000 fair
value of the net assets received in the acquisition, a
bargain purchase has
occurred.
10/24/2025 39
In this situation, Miller continues to recognize
each of the separately identified assets
acquired and liabilities assumed at their fair
values. Resulting differences in the
consolidated balances relative to the
Requirement (a) solution are as follows:
• No goodwill is recognized.
10/24/2025 40
• Miller’s additional paid-in capital decreases by
$300,000 to
$1,190,000.

Meaning of Consolidated
Financial Statements
10/24/2025 42
Key definitions
IFRS10 includes the following key definitions:
• A group is "a parent and its subsidiaries".
• A parent is "an entity that controls one or more
entities".
• A subsidiary is "an entity that is controlled
by another entity".
• Control exists "when the investor is exposed … to
variable returns from its involvement with the
investee and has the ability to affect those
returns through its power over the investee".
10/24/2025 43
Exemption from requirement to
prepare group accounts
A parent company need not prepare group
accounts if:
• the parent company is itself a wholly-owned
subsidiary or a partially-owned subsidiary (and its
other owners do not object to the company not
preparing group accounts), and
• the parent's shares are not publicly traded, and
• The parent's ultimate parent company
presents group accounts that comply with
international standards.
10/24/2025 44
A parent that has been consolidating a subsidiary in
its financial statements should exclude that company
from future consolidation if the parent can no longer
exercise control over it. Control might be lost for a
number of reasons, such as
(1) the parent sells some or all of its interest in the
subsidiary,
(2) the subsidiary issues additional common stock,
(3) the parent enters into an agreement to relinquish
( dhiisuu) control, or
(4) the subsidiary comes under the control of the
10/24/2025 government or other regulator. 44
Control
• An investor company has control over an investee
if it has the power to direct the investee's
activities. Rights which may give this power
include:
– voting rights
– the right to appoint or remove members of the
investee's key management personnel
– the right to direct the investee to enter into transactions
for the investor's benefit
– contractual rights.
• In straightforward cases, power is achieved by owning more than 50% of
the investee's ordinary shares.

Benefits of Consolidated Financial Statements
10/24/2025 48
Subsidiary Financial Statements
• Creditors, preferred stockholders, and
noncontrolling common stockholders of subsidiaries
are most interested in the separate financial
statements of the subsidiaries in which they have an
interest.
• Because subsidiaries are legally separate from their
parents,
– the creditors and stockholders of a subsidiary
generally have no claim on the parent, and
– the stockholders of the subsidiary do not share in
the profits of the parent.
10/24/2025 49
Noncontrolling Interest
• Only a controlling interest is needed for the parent to
consolidate the subsidiary—not 100% interest.
• Shareholders of the subsidiary other than the parent
are referred to as “noncontrolling” shareholders.
• Noncontrolling interest refers to the claim of
these shareholders on the income and net assets
of the subsidiary.

2.3. Consolidation as of the Date of
Acquisitions
Acquisition date = the date when the
parent gains control, not necessarily the
purchase agreement date or payment
date.
• Accounting for Business Combination of Parent
corporation & Subsidiary
company requires a FRESH START for the consolidated
entity.
• This reflects the theory that a Business Combination
that involves a parent subsidiary Relationship is an
ACQUISITION OF THE COMBINEE’S NET ASSETS by
the combiner.
• The operating results of Parent and subsidiary prior
to the date of their Business Combination are those
of two separate ECONOMIC as well as LEGAL-
entities. Accordingly a consolidated balance sheet is
10/24/2025 55
the only CONSOLIDATED Financial statement ISSUED
BY Parent company on the date of the Business
Combination of Parent and subsidiary.

• The total acquired firm fair value in the
presence of a partial acquisition is the sum of
the following two components at the
acquisition date:
1. The fair value of the controlling interest-that
can be estimated in comparison with
consideration transferred fair value.
2. The fair value of the non-controlling
interest-there are different bases to estimate
the fair value of non-controlling interest;

2. Current Fair value of net assets of the subsidiary
Fair value allocation:
• The fair value allocation is similar with the above
(consolidation of wholly owned subsidiary). On the other
hand, goodwill is the difference between fair value of the
firm (controlling interest + non-controlling interest) and
fair value of net assets.
3. Goodwill or Gain on bargain purchase = Fair value of the firm-
fair value of net assets
= 1,400,000-1,240,000
Goodwill = 160,000
