2.3 Business Combinations (Continued)<br />

Commentary<br />

Business combinations involving entities under common control<br />

Where a business combination involves entities or businesses under common control, it is<br />

outside the scope of FRS 103 and may be accounted for using the pooling of interest method<br />

or the acquisition method (when the transaction has substance from the perspective of the<br />

reporting entity), please include the following accounting policy where the pooling of<br />

interest method is applied:<br />

RAP 12: 9<br />

Business combinations involving entities under common control are accounted for by<br />

applying the pooling of interest method which involves the following:<br />

• the assets and liabilities of the combining entities are reflected at their carrying<br />

amounts.<br />

• no adjustments are made to reflect the fair values, or recognise any new assets or<br />

liabilities.<br />

• no goodwill is recognised as a result of the combination.<br />

• any difference between the consideration paid/transferred and the equity `acquired' is<br />

reflected within the equity as merger reserve.<br />

• the statement of comprehensive income reflects the results of the combining<br />

entities for the full year, irrespective of when the combination took place.<br />

• comparatives are presented as if the entities had always been combined since the date<br />

the entities had come under common control.<br />

Contingent liabilities recognised in a business combination<br />

Where there are contingent liabilities assumed in the business combination, please include<br />

the following accounting policy:<br />

FRS 103: 56<br />

A contingent liability recognised in a business combination is initially measured at its fair<br />

value. Subsequently, it is measured at the higher of:<br />

• the amount that would be recognised in accordance with the accounting policy for<br />

provisions set out in Note 2.23; or<br />

• the amount initially recognised less, when appropriate, cumulative amortisation<br />

recognised in accordance with guidance for revenue recognition.<br />
