M (Acquirer) purchases all (100%) the shares in F. No NCI. The fair value of M’s shares is R30 per share and M settles the purchase
price by issuing 160 000 shares (R4 800 000) and by paying R200 000 cash. Total: R5 000 000. The fair value of F’s identifiable assets
is R3 600 000 (Revalue by 600’). Ignore tax.

,EXAMPLE 2: MEASURING NCI
H acquired 70% of the shares in F at R750 000. The fair value of F’s identifiable assets amounts to R3 000 000 and the fair value of the
non-controlling interest in F to R680 000 at the acquisition date. Assume a tax rate of 30%.
Statements of financial position at the acquisition date:
H F
Identifiable assets 8 200 2 000
Investment in F Ltd 750 -
8 950 2 000
Equity 6 000 1 300
Identifiable liabilities 2 950 700
8 950 2 000

Positive = GW
Negative = BP
Par 33: H buys shares in S; H pays by issuing shares. H gets shares of S and pays buy issuing shares = exchange of
equity interest. S’s share might be more reliable in this case.
Par 34-34: Reassess a Bargain Purchase as it is unlikely that you will get a BP when purchasing a S.
− Only then recognize in P/L (current year) OR retained earnings (previous years)
− Attributed to acquirer (not NCI)
Consideration transferred (Par 37 - 40) = Investment
− Assets: Including cash or assets given as part of consideration
− Equity interest issued: shares issued
Par 38: Transfer of ASSETS where the CA not = to FV
− If A are transferred to former owners: recognise difference between CA and FV in P/L
− If A are transferred to acquiree: measure at CA immediately before acquisition date (don’t recognise G/L in
P/L) – effectively still have control over A
H, S and D (previous owners). H wants to buy the S, but the S is already owned by D. H approaches D to buy S and
pays the purchase price to D in cash/assets. D will then give H equity (control over S by transfer of shares)
IF the Assets CA not = FV
Then REVALUE TO FV IN H’S BOOKS BEFORE TRANSFER TO D AS A PAYMENT
Revaluation goes directly to P/L.
Dt Plant (SFP)
Ct Profit with revaluation (P/L)
H and S. H wants to buy shares in S, but no one owns the shares already. S issues the shares and the H is going to pay
the purchase price (cash/assets) to S. Assets does not go to outside party – stays in the group.
IF the Assets CA not = FV
DO NOT HAVE TO REVALUE. Stays at the CA, because H still has control over his own assets.
Additional guidance:
− Par 41-42: Step acquisition
− Par 43-44: Without consideration (unusual)
Measurement Period (Par 45-50)
− Estimate the A and L of the S
