19.14 | The acquirer shall, at the acquisition date, allocate the cost of a business combination by recognising the acquiree's identifiable assets and liabilities and a provision for those contingent liabilities (that satisfy the recognition criteria in paragraph 19.20) at their fair values at that date, except for the items specified in paragraphs 19.15A to 19.15C. Any difference between the cost of the business combination and the acquirer's interest in the net amount of the identifiable assets, liabilities and provisions for contingent liabilities so recognised shall be accounted for in accordance with paragraphs 19.22 to 19.24. |
19.14A | At the acquisition date, any non-controlling interest in the acquiree is stated at the non-controlling interest's share of the net amount of the identifiable assets, liabilities and provisions for contingent liabilities so recognised. [AMD 431] |
19.15 | Except for the items specified in paragraphs 19.15A to 19.15C, the acquirer shall recognise separately the acquiree's identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities at the acquisition date only if they satisfy the following criteria at that date: |
(a) | In the case of an asset, it is probable that any associated future economic benefits will flow to the acquirer, and its fair value can be measured reliably. [AMD 432] |
(b) | In the case of a liability other than a contingent liability, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation, and its fair value can be measured reliably. |
(c) | In the case of a contingent liability, its fair value can be measured reliably. [AMD 433] |
19.15A | The acquirer shall recognise and measure a deferred tax asset or liability arising from the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in accordance with Section 29 Income Tax. |
19.15B | The acquirer shall recognise and measure a liability (or asset, if any) related to the acquiree's employee benefit arrangements in accordance with Section 28 Employee Benefits. |
19.15C | The acquirer shall recognise and measure a share-based payment in accordance with Section 26 Share-based Payment. [AMD 434] |
19.16 | The acquirer's statement of comprehensive income shall incorporate the acquiree's profits or losses after the acquisition date by including the acquiree's income and expenses based on the cost of the business combination to the acquirer. For example, depreciation expense included after the acquisition date in the acquirer's statement of comprehensive income that relates to the acquiree's depreciable assets shall be based on the fair values of those depreciable assets at the acquisition date, ie their cost to the acquirer. [AMD 435] |
19.17 | [Moved to paragraph 19.10A] [AMD 436] |
19.18 | In accordance with paragraph 19.14, the acquirer recognises separately only the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree that existed at the acquisition date and satisfy the recognition criteria in paragraph 19.15 (except for the items specified in paragraphs 19.15A to 19.15C). Therefore: |
(a) | the acquirer shall recognise liabilities for terminating or reducing the activities of the acquiree as part of allocating the cost of the combination only to the extent that the acquiree has, at the acquisition date, an existing liability for restructuring recognised in accordance with Section 21 Provisions and Contingencies; and |
(b) | the acquirer, when allocating the cost of the combination, shall not recognise liabilities for future losses or other costs expected to be incurred as a result of the business combination. |
19.19 | If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the acquirer shall recognise in its financial statements provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete. Within twelve months after the acquisition date, the acquirer shall retrospectively adjust the provisional amounts recognised as assets and liabilities at the acquisition date (ie account for them as if they were made at the acquisition date) to reflect new information obtained. Beyond twelve months after the acquisition date, adjustments to the initial accounting for a business combination shall be recognised only to correct a material error in accordance with Section 10 Accounting Policies, Estimates and Errors.

Because control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity or business so as to obtain benefits from its activities, it is not necessary for a transaction to be closed or finalised at law before the acquirer obtains control. All pertinent facts and circumstances surrounding a business combination shall be considered in assessing when the acquirer has obtained control. |
