Legal Form of Combination

Merger
Occurs when one corporation takes over all the
operations of another business entity and that
other entity is dissolved.

Consolidation
Occurs when a new corporation is formed to take
over the assets and operations of two or more
separate business entities and dissolves the
previously separate entities.
Copyright 2012 Pearson Education,
1-8
Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Mergers:
A+B=A X+Y=X
Company A acquires the net assets of
Company B for cash, other assets, or
Company A debt/equity securities. Company
B is dissolved; Company A survives with
Company Bs assets and liabilities.

Company X acquires the stock of Company Y


from its shareholders for cash, other assets,
or Company X debt/equity securities.
Company Y is dissolved. Company X survives
with Company Ys assets and liabilities.

Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Consolidations:
E + F = D K + L = J
Company D is formed and acquires the net
assets of companies E and F by issuing
Company D stock. Companies E and F are
dissolved. Company D survives with the assets
and liabilities of both dissolved firms.
Company J is formed and acquires the stock of
companies K and L from their respective
shareholders by issuing Company J stock.
Companies K and L are dissolved. Company J
survives with the assets and liabilities of both
firms.

Keeping the Terms Straight
In the general business sense, mergers and
consolidations are business combinations and may
or may not involve the dissolution of the acquired
firm(s).
In Chapter 1, mergers and consolidations will involve
only 100% acquisitions with the dissolution of the
acquired firm(s). These assumptions will be relaxed
in later chapters.
Consolidation is also an accounting term used to
describe the process of preparing consolidated
financial statements for a parent and its subsidiaries.

3: ACCOUNTING FOR
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

Copyright 2012 Pearson Education,

Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Business Combination (def.)
A business combination is a transaction or
other event in which an acquirer obtains
control of one or more businesses.
Transactions sometimes referred to as true
mergers or mergers of equals also are
business combinations. [FASB ASC 805-10]

A parent-subsidiary relationship is formed


when:
Less than 100% of the firm is acquired, or
The acquired firm is not dissolved.

Copyright 2012 Pearson Education,


1-13
Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
U.S. GAAP for Business Combinations

Since the 1950s both the pooling-of-interests


method and the purchase method of accounting for
business combinations were acceptable.
Combinations initiated after June 30, 2001 use the
purchase method. [FASB ASC 805]
Firms now use the acquisition method for business
combinations. This began with combinations in
fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2008.
[FASB ACS 810-10-5-2]

Copyright 2012 Pearson Education,


1-14
Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
International Accounting

Most major economies prohibit the use of the


pooling method.

The International Accounting Standards Board


specifically prohibits the pooling method and
requires the acquisition method.

Copyright 2012 Pearson Education,


1-15
Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Recording Guidelines (1 of 2)

Record assets acquired and liabilities assumed


using the fair value principle.
If equity securities are issued by the acquirer,
charge registration and issue costs against the fair
value of the securities issued, usually a reduction
in additional paid-in-capital.
Charge other direct combination costs (e.g., legal
fees, finders fees) and indirect combination costs
(e.g., management salaries) to expense.

Copyright 2012 Pearson Education,


1-16
Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Recording Guidelines (2 of 2)
When the acquiring firm transfers its assets other
than cash as part of the combination, any gain or
loss on the disposal of those assets is recorded in
current income.
The excess of cash, other assets, debt, and equity
securities transferred over the fair value of the net
assets (A L) acquired is recorded as goodwill.
If the net assets acquired exceeds the cash, other
assets, debt, and equity securities transferred, a
gain on the bargain purchase is recorded in current
income.

Example: Pop Corp. (1 of 3)

Pop Corp. issues 100,000 shares of its $10 par


value common stock for Son Corp. Pops
stock is valued at $16 per share. (in
thousands)

Investment in Son Corp. (+A) 1,600


Common stock, $10 par (+SE) 1,000
Additional paid-in-capital (+SE) 600

Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Example: Pop Corp. (2 of 3)
Pop Corp. pays cash for $80,000 in finders and
consulting fees and for $40,000 to register and issue
its common stock. (in thousands)
Investment expense (E, -SE) 80
Additional paid-in-capital (-SE) 40
Cash (-A) 120
Son Corp. is assumed to have been dissolved. So, Pop
Corp. allocates the investments cost to the fair value
of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities
assumed. The excess cost is goodwill.

USING THE ACQUISITION
METHOD

Copyright 2012 Pearson Education,


1-21
Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Identify the Net Assets Acquired

Identify:
Tangible assets acquired,
Intangible assets acquired, and
Liabilities assumed
Include:
Identifiable intangibles resulting from legal or
contractual rights, or separable from the entity
Research and development in process
Contractual contingencies
Some noncontractual contingencies
Copyright 2012 Pearson Education,
1-22
Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Assign Fair Values to Net Assets

Use fair values determined, in preferential


order, by:
Established market prices
Present value of estimated future cash flows,
discounted based on an observable measure, such
as the prime interest rate
Other internally derived estimations

Copyright 2012 Pearson Education,


1-23
Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Exceptions to Fair Value Rule

Use normal guidance for:


Deferred tax assets and liabilities
Pensions and other benefits
Operating and capital leases
[FASB ASC 740]

Goodwill on the books of the acquired firm is


assigned no value.

Copyright 2012 Pearson Education,


1-24
Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Goodwill

Goodwill is the excess of


The sum of:
Fair value of the consideration transferred,
Fair value of any noncontrolling interest in the
acquiree, and
Fair value of any previously held interest in
acquiree,
Over the net assets acquired.

Copyright 2012 Pearson Education,


1-25
Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Contingent Consideration

The fair value of contingent consideration is


determined or estimated at the acquisition
date and it is included along with other
consideration given as part of the
combination.
Classifying contingencies:
Contingent share issuances are equity
Contingent cash payments are liabilities
Estimated contingencies are revalued to fair
value at each subsequent reporting date.

Goodwill Controversies

Capitalized goodwill is the purchase price not


assigned to identifiable assets and liabilities.
Errors in valuing assets and liabilities affect the
amount of goodwill recorded.
Historically goodwill in most industrialized
countries was capitalized and amortized.
Current IASB standards, like U.S. GAAP
Capitalize goodwill,
Do not amortize it, and
Test it for impairment
Copyright 2012 Pearson Education,
1-36
Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
Goodwill Impairment Testing

Firms must test for the impairment of goodwill


at the business unit reporting level.
Step 1: Compare the units net book value to its fair
value to determine if there has been a loss in value.
Step 2: Determine the implied fair value of the
goodwill, in the same manner used to originally
record the goodwill, and compare that to the
goodwill on the books.
Record a loss if the implied fair value is less
than the carrying value of the goodwill.
Copyright 2012 Pearson Education,
1-37
Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall
When to Test for Impairment

Goodwill should be tested for impairment at


least annually.
More frequent testing may be needed:
Significant adverse change in business
Adverse action by regulator
Unanticipated competition
Loss of key personnel
Impairment or expected disposal losses of:
Reporting unit or part of one
Significant long-lived asset group
Subsidiary
