IFRS 3 requires a business combination be accounted for using the acquisition method. This is the required method when an entity obtains control of one or
more businesses. IFRS 3 does not apply to: a combination between entities or businesses under common control formation of a joint venture acquisition of an asset or group of assets that does not constitute a
“business.” <IFRS 3.2>
Scope
8 #CBIZMHMwebinar
Acquisition Method
Under the acquisition method: An acquirer must be identified, i.e., who obtains control Each asset and liability that is acquired is valued at fair value (FV)
at the date of purchase. The NCI (Non-Controlling Interest) is valued at: FV, or The proportionate share in the recognized amounts of the acquiree’s
identifiable net assets. Goodwill is generally recognized as the difference between: The sum of consideration transferred (+ or - FV of contingent
consideration), amount of any NCI and fair value of any previously held equity, less
The identifiable net assets acquired. The consideration transferred is valued at fair value. <IFRS 3, INT 6, 7,8 10 and 11>

What Constitutes a “Business?”
+ PROCESSES (systems,
standards, etc)
OUTPUTS (returns)
• Employees • Materials • Rights of use • Non-current assets
• Excludes accounting, billing, payroll and other administrative systems
INPUTS (economic resources)
• Dividends • Lower costs • Economic benefits to stakeholders
Must be present for a business to exist Doesn’t need to be all the inputs and processes required
Must be capable of being managed as a business If goodwill present, presumed to be a business
Outputs are not necessary.
Development stage entities can be a
business.

Background: Dollar Car Wash and Super Clean Cars are two companies who own and
operate car wash stations throughout the country. Dollar Car Wash purchases 20 stations from Super Clean Cars for $36 million.
The Super Clean Cars employees and managers will work at the same stations.
Dollar Car Wash will change the name of the acquired stations to its own name.
Dollar Car Wash will use its own accounting, payroll and human resources departments.
The fair value of the land acquired is $20 million, equipment acquired $6 million and intangibles of $4 million.
Question: Is the transaction a business combination?
Example – Acquisition of a Business?
13 #CBIZMHMwebinar
Response: ‒ Yes. The essential elements of inputs and processes are being
acquired. Accounting, payroll and other administrative functions are normally not considered required processes for the purpose of generating outputs.
‒ Dollar Car Wash is paying an amount that is greater than the value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is being acquired, therefore presumed that a business is being acquired.

15 #CBIZMHMwebinar
Identify the Acquirer
One of the entities must be identified as the acquirer. The acquirer is the entity that obtains control over the other
entity. Control is defined at IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements
<IFRS 3.7>
If control is not clear, the following factors are considered: Who paid cash or assumed liabilities? Was stock issued? Who issued the stock? Which of the two parties is considered larger?
<IFRS 3.B13 and B18>

17 #CBIZMHMwebinar
The acquirer must identify the acquisition date which is generally the date in which it obtains control:
Generally the date in which consideration is paid, assets are legally acquired, and the liabilities are assumed.
However, there are cases where control is obtained on a different date, e.g. a contractually determined date.
Why is acquisition date important?
It is the date that is used for the purpose of valuing the assets that are acquired and liabilities that are assumed.
The date in which the acquired business activities are consolidated.

Recognition and Measurement
Recognize at date of purchase: Acquired identifiable assets Assumed identifiable liabilities NCI (Non-Controlling Interest) NCI measurement choice:
• Net assets (excluding goodwill) • Fair value (including goodwill)
<IFRS 3.10, 18 and 19>
20 #CBIZMHMwebinar
Recognition Measurement
Principle Must meet the definition of assets and liabilities in the
Framework
Measure assets and liabilities at acquisition date fair values
Exceptions (note: no exception for intangible assets)
Contingent liabilities (measure at fair value)
Reacquired rights Share-based payment awards Assets held for sale (IFRS 5)
Income taxes (IAS 12), indemnification assets (IFRS 3.27-28), employee benefits (IAS 19)
Specific Guidance
Assets not intended to be used valued at highest and best use
by other market participants
Operating leases
Recognition and Measurement
21 #CBIZMHMwebinar
Intangible Assets in Business Combinations
Possible intangible asset
Recognize an intangible asset (assumption that ‘probable’ recognition criteria always met and can always be
reliably measured)
Is it separable? (can be separated/divided from the
entity and sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged)
Does it arise from contractual or other legal rights?
(regardless of whether transferable or separable, e.g. favorable term leases)
Value subsumed within goodwill (e.g., assembled workforce)
No
No
Yes
Yes
Measure at fair value (uncertainties taken into account in
measurement)
22 #CBIZMHMwebinar
Background: USA Trucking purchases Big Trucking. Big Trucking provides transportation
services to customers. Big Trucking has the contractual right and obligation to provide specified transportation services to these customers under contracts for varying years.
Question: Should an intangible be recognized for the customer list at the date of purchase?
Example – Recognition
23 #CBIZMHMwebinar
Background: USA Trucking purchases Big Trucking. Big Trucking provides transportation
services to customers. Big Trucking has the contractual right and obligation to provide specified transportation services to these customers under contracts for varying years.
Question: Should an intangible be recognized for the customer list at the date of purchase? Response: Yes. Although the customer list may not be separable, e.g. by sale to a third party, there is a contractual right, over a specified time period, to provide future services to the customers, therefore, an identifiable asset exists which should be separately valued in the opening balance sheet for the acquired entity.
Example – Recognition
24 #CBIZMHMwebinar
Possible obligations
Subsequent treatment At acquisition date
Follow IAS 37 Not recognised
Present obligations that are not probable
Higher of IAS 37 and IAS 18
Recognised if reliably measurable
Contingent assets Not recognised (even if virtually certain) Follow IAS 37

Question Which of the following statements are correct in relation to the choice in measurement of non-controlling interests in a business combination?
A – The choice of using fair value can only be used if the acquiree is a listed entity.
B – The choice must be consistently applied as an accounting policy choice. C – The choice must be applied consistently within each accounting period. D – The choice can be determined separately for each business combination.
Example — Measurement of NCI
28 #CBIZMHMwebinar
Question Which of the following statements are correct in relation to the choice in measurement of non-controlling interests in a business combination?
A – The choice of using fair value can only be used if the acquiree is a listed entity.
B – The choice must be consistently applied as an accounting policy choice. C – The choice must be applied consistently within each accounting period. D – The choice can be determined separately for each business combination.
Answer D – IFRS 3.19 states that the choice is available “for each business
combination.” This is also reinforced in IFRS 3.BC216 which states that the choice is available “on a transaction by transaction basis.”
Example — Measurement of NCI
29 #CBIZMHMwebinar
Acquiree Balance Sheet A “new” balance sheet with assets/liabilities at fair value, plus goodwill, will
be used by the acquirer to consolidate the acquiree Referred to as the Purchase Price Allocation (PPA) Deferred tax assets and liabilities will be recognized for temporary differences
between book basis vs. tax basis for asset and liabilities, with corresponding adjustment to goodwill
Companies have 12 months from the date of purchase to finalize the PPA. Any changes to the PPA shall be made based on the facts and circumstances that existed
as of the purchase date.
Acquirer will use the values on the “new” balance sheet The values on the acquiree’s previous balance sheet will not be used
Push-down accounting - the requirement for the acquiree to use the new basis for the assets and liabilities on its individual financial statements
Currently being addressed by the IASB due to lack of guidance (SEC has specific guidance for push-down accounting)

IFRS vs. U.S. GAAP – Key Differences
U.S. GAAP IFRS
• NCI Measurement- FV (including GW)
• Acquiree’s operating leases- An intangible or liability will be recognized for unfavorable terms vs. current market rates
• Combination of entities under common control- Receiving entity records net assets at carrying amounts (historical cost) of predecessor.
• NCI Measurement- Measurement choice: (a) Net assets (excluding GW) or (b) FV (including GW)
• Acquiree’s operating leases- An intangible or liability is recognized only if the acquiree is the lessee. If lessor, terms are considered for FV of assets subject to lease.
• Combination of entities under common control- Outside the scope of IFRS 3. Follow US GAAP or apply the acquisition method if there is “commercial substance” (policy election).
33 #CBIZMHMwebinar
IFRS vs. U.S. GAAP – Key Differences
U.S. GAAP IFRS
Assets and liabilities arising from contingencies
Initial Recognition - Assets and liabilities arising from contingencies are recognized at FV. If FV can’t be determined, measure using contingencies guidance at ASC 450.
Subsequent Measurement - Develop a systematic and rational basis for subsequently measuring and accounting for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies. If using ASC 450, the subsequent accounting and measurement should be based on the same guidance.
Assets and liabilities arising from contingencies (Initial recognition)
Initial Recognition - Liabilities are recognized if there is a present obligation that arises from past events and its FV can be measured reliably. Contingent assets are not recognized.
Subsequent Measurement - Liabilities subject to contingencies are subsequently measured at the higher of (i) the amount that would be recognized in accordance with IAS 37 Liabilities, or (ii) the amount initially recognized less, if appropriate, cumulative amortization recognized in accordance with IAS 18 Revenue.
