4. Circular Combination - entails some diversification, but does not have a drastic change in
operation as a conglomerate. For example – San Miguel Corporation accomplished when they
diversify their activities by putting up Magnolia Products.
A Statutory Merger results when one company acquires all the net assets (assets and liabilities) of one or
more other companies through an exchange of stock, payment of cash or other property, or the issue of
debt instruments (or a combination of these methods). The acquiring company survives (remains in
existence), whereas the acquired company (or companies) ceases to exist as a separate legal entity,
although it may be continued as a separate division of the acquiring company.
5. Debt instruments/Liabilities undertaken. The fair values of liabilities undertaken are best measured
by the present value of future cash outflows. As noted in PFRS 3, future losses or other costs
expected to be incurred as a result of the business combination are not liabilities of the acquirer
and are therefore not included in the calculation of the fair value of consideration paid. These
must be treated as post-combination expenses.
6. Contingent consideration. The acquirer shall recognize the acquisition-date fair value of
contingent consideration. PFRS 3 Revised has formally defined contingent consideration as
additional consideration by the acquirer to the former owners (or return of consideration from the
former owners). Changes that are the result of the acquirer obtaining additional information
about facts and circumstances that existed at the acquisition date, and that occur within the
measurement period (which may be a maximum of one year from the acquisition date), are
recognized as adjustments against the original accounting for the acquisition (and so may
impact goodwill). Changes resulting from events after the acquisition date are not measurement
period adjustments. Such changes are therefore accounted for separately from the business
combination.
Costs and Expenses of Business Combination
The PFRS 3 Revised states that acquisition-related costs are costs incurred by the acquirer to effect a
business combination, including reimbursements to the acquiree for bearing some of the acquisition
costs, except costs of issuing debt instruments are accounted for under PFRS 9, and costs of issuing equity
instruments are accounted for under PAS 32, shall be accounted for as expenses in the periods in which
they are incurred. They are summarize as follows:
Acquisition-related costs Examples Treatment
1. Directly attributable costs professional fees paid to accountants, Expenses
legal advisers, valuers, and other
consultants (finders and brokerage fees)
to effect the combination.
2. Indirect acquisition costs general and administrative costs, Expenses
including the costs of maintaining an
internal acquisitions department
(management salaries, depreciation,
rent, and costs incurred to duplicate
facilities) and other costs of which cannot
be directly attributed to the particular
acquisition
3. Costs of issuing securities (issue transaction costs such as stamp duties, Debit to APIC/Share
and register stocks)* professional adviser’s fees, underwriting Premium Account
costs and brokerage fees may be
incurred
*Similarly, the cost of arranging (registering) and issuing debt securities or financial liabilities are an
integral part of the liability issue transaction (Bond Issue Costs).
Allocating the cost of the business combination
Par. 36 of PFRS 3 includes the following statements:
“The acquirer shall measure and recognize as of the acquisition date the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed as part of the business combination. The identifiable assets acquired and
liabilities assumed shall be measured at fair value and recognized separately from goodwill.”
Recognition of Acquired Assets and Liabilities
The allocation of acquired assets and liabilities measurement which is at fair value occurs at acquisition
date. The allocation requires the recognition of:
1. Identifiable Tangible Assets. An asset other than an intangible asset is recognized if it is probable
(probability test) that any associated future economic benefits will flow to the acquirer, and its
fair value can be measured reliably (reliability test).
2. Identifiable Intangible Assets. PFRS 3 Revised requires the acquirer to recognize identifiable assets
acquired regardless of the degree of probability of an inflow of economic benefits. This change
emphasizes the expectation that all intangible assets that satisfy the definition criteria in PAS 38, if
acquired as part of a business combination, must be recognized.
An intangible asset is identifiable if it:
can be separated; or
meets the contractual-legal criterion e.g. license to operate a nuclear power plant is an
intangible asset, even though the acquirer cannot sell or transfer the license separately
from the acquired power plant.
The acquirer shall recognize, separately from goodwill, the acquisition-date fair value of
intangible assets acquired in a business combination that meet the definition of an intangible
asset in PAS 38.
Required:
1. Record the acquisition of the net assets of Knee and Dudd and related transactions on the books of
Tree.

j. Shareholders’equity
3. (Cash Contingency) Determine the amount of goodwill arising from business combination of assuming

income of Knee Company during the 2-year period of 2019 - 2020 exceeds P5,000,000 per year. The
expected value is P200,000 calculated based on the 40% probability of achieving the target average
income. The amount of goodwill arising from acquisition amounted to:
4. Assuming the same facts as in (3) above. Before the contingency period is over, the probability
present value of the earnings contingency declines to P180,000, determine the amount of goodwill if
the changes in:
a. the value is within the measurement period (due to facts and circumstances existing as of the
date of acquisition).
b. the value is due to events occurring subsequent to acquisition.
5. (Stock Contingency with Market Value Given). In addition to the stock issue, Tree Company also
agreed to issue additional shares of common stock to the former stockholders of Knee Company if
the average post-combination earnings over the next two years equaled or exceeded P5,000,000
per year. The additional 2,000 shares expected to be issued are valued at P320,000.

respectively.

6. (Stock Contingency). In addition to the stock issue, Tree Company also agreed to issue additional
2,000 shares of common stock to the former stockholders of Knee Company two years later if the fair
value of acquirer (Tree’s common stock) fell below P150 per share.
On January 1, 2021, the contingent event happens and the common stock of Tree had a fair value
below P150.
Required:
a. Determine the amount of goodwill on January 1, 2019
b. The entry on January 1, 2021.
c. The entry on January 1, 2021, if the fair value of stock increase to P155:

shares of common stock to the former stockholders of Knee Company on January 1, 2021, to
compensate for any fall in the market value of Tree common stock below P150 per share. The
settlement would be to cure the deficiency by issuing added shares based on their fair value on
January 1, 2021.
On January 1, 2021, the contingent event happens and the stock had a fair value of P135.
Required:
a. Determine the amount of goodwill on January 1, 2019
