Additional equity shares in the acquired company are bought from the other investors or from a share issue of
Decrease of interest (decrease in degree of control) by means of the following:

STEP ACQUISITIONS OF INTERESTS IN INVESTEES
Different scenarios where there is an increase in the degree of control:
1 - Acquisition of an additional interest in an existing subsidiary (change in the degree of control, but not in status where
control has already been obtained)
The carrying amounts of the controlling and non-controlling interests, including any goodwill attributable to the non-
controlling interests (if applicable), need to be adjusted to reflect the non-controlling interests’ reduced interest in the
subsidiary.
(ii) The difference between the non-controlling interests’ adjustment amount (as discussed above) and the
consideration transferred by the parent for the additional interest, must be recognised directly in equity in the change
in ownership reserve.
(iii) No additional goodwill or gain on bargain purchase is recognised.
(iv) No gain or loss should be recognised in the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
2 - Acquisition of an additional interest where an IFRS 9 simple investment becomes a subsidiary.
- In this case it is important to realise that there is a change In status: control is obtained.
The following steps are taken:
- On the acquisition date (the date when control is obtained over the investee), remeasure the previously held interest (i.e.
- On the acquisition date, goodwill or gain On bargain purchase is recognised.
DISPOSAL OF INTERESTS IN AN INVESTEE:
Different scenarios where there is a decrease in the degree of control:
1 - Partial disposal of an interest in an existing subsidiary, control not lost (no change in status):
The profit or loss on disposal, that was recognised in the parent’s separate financial statements, will be reversed upon
consolidation.
- the difference between the amount that the non-controlling interests are adjusted by and the consideration received by
- No gain or loss should be recognised In the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
- The total amount of goodwill that arose at acquisition date is not adjusted. However, allocation of goodwill between the

The principal market and most advantageous market are defined as follows, in terms of IFRS 13, Appendix A:
Principal market: The market with the greatest volume and level of activity for the asset or liability. For example: in South Africa, the
