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.
Consideration transferred
For the purposes of applying the acquisition method, the fair value of the consideration transferred in
exchange for the acquirer’s interest in the acquiree is calculated as the sum of:
a. the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred by the acquirer, liabilities assumed or
incurred by the acquirer, and equity interests issued by the acquirer. Examples include cash, other
assets, contingent consideration, a business or a subsidiary of the acquirer, common or preferred
equity instruments, options, warrants, and member interests of mutual entities; and
b. the acquisition-date fair value of any non-controlling equity investment in the acquiree that the
acquirer owned immediately before the acquisition date.
The consideration transferred may include assets or liabilities of the acquirer that have carrying amounts
that differ from their fair values at the acquisition date (for example, non-monetary assets or a business of
the acquirer). In that case, the acquirer shall remeasure those transferred assets or liabilities to their fair
values as of the acquisition date and recognize any gains or losses in profit or loss. However, if those assets
or liabilities are transferred to the acquiree and, therefore, remain within the combined entity after the
business combination, the acquirer shall eliminate any gains or losses on those transferred assets or liabilities
in the consolidated financial statements.
The acquisition-date fair value of the consideration transferred, including the fair value of each major class
of consideration, such as:
1. Cash or other monetary assets. The fair value is the amount of cash or cash equivalent dispersed.
The amount is usually readily available.
2. For deferred payment, the fair value to the acquirer is the amount the entity would have to borrow
to settle their debt immediately. Hence, the discount rate used is the entity’s incremental borrowing
rate.
3. Non-monetary assets. These consist of assets such as property, plant and equipment, investments,
licenses and patents. If active second-hand market price exists, fair values can be obtained by
reference to those markets. Where active markets do not exist, other means of valuation, including
the use of expert valuers, may be used.
4. Equity Instruments. If an acquirer issues its own shares as consideration, it will need to determine the
fair value of those shares at the date of exchange.
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.
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.
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.
Examples that would meet the definition of Intangible Assets:
a. Marketing-related intangible assets:
- trademarks, trade names, service marks, collective marks and certification marks
- internet domain names
- trade dress – unique color, share or package design
- newspaper mastheads
- non-competition assets

income of Knee Company during the 2-year period of 2023 - 2024 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.
Required:
a. Determine the amount of goodwill on January 1, 2023
b. The entry on January 1, 2025.
6. (Stock Contingency). In addition to the stock issue, Tree Company also agreed to issue additional 2,000

II – with Answer
Pam Company is acquiring the net assets of Jam Company for an agreed-upon price of P900,000 on July
1, 20x4. The value was tentatively assigned as follows:
Current assets…………………………………………………………..................... P 100,000
Land…………………………………………………………………………………… 50,000
Equipment………………………………………………………………………......... 200,000 (5-year life)
Building…………………………………………………………………………........... 500,000 (20-year life)
Current liabilities…………………………………………….................................... ( 150,000)
Goodwill…………………………………………………………………………........ 200,000
Values were subject to change during the measurement period. Depreciation is taken to the nearest
month. The measurement period expired on July 1, 20x5, at which time the fair values of the equipment
and building as of the acquisition data was revised to P180,000 and P550,000, respectively.
At the end of 20x5, what adjustments are needed for the financial statements for the period ending
December 31, 20x4 and 20x5?
Answers:
The 20x4 financial statements would be revised as they are included in the 20x4 – 20x5 comparative
statements. The 20x4 statements would be based on the new values. The adjustments would be:
(a) The equipment and building will be restated at P180,000 and P550,000 on the comparative 20x4 and
20x5 balance sheets.
(b) Originally, depreciation on the equipment was P40,000 (P200,000/5) per year. It will be recalculated
as P36,000 (P180,000/5) per year. The adjustment for 20x4 is for a half year 20x4 depreciation expense
and accumulated depreciation will be restated at P18,000 instead of P20,000 for the half year.
Depreciation expense for 20x5 will be P36,000.
(c) Originally, depreciation on the building was P25,000 (P500,000/20) per year. It will be recalculated as
P27,500 (P550,000/20) per year. The adjustment for 20x4 is for a half year 20x4 depreciation expense
and accumulated depreciation will be restated at P13,750 instead of P12,500 for the half year.
Depreciation expense for 20x5 will be P27,500.
(d) Goodwill is reduced P30,000 on the comparative 20x4 and 20x5 balance sheets.
