19.3 Structure of a business combination
19.3.1 Extracts from FRS 102 – Section 19.4–19.5A
19.4 A business combination may be structured in a variety of ways for legal, taxation or other reasons. It may involve:
- the purchase by an entity of the equity of another entity,
- the purchase of all the net assets of another entity,
- the assumption of the liabilities of another entity, or the purchase of some of the net assets of another entity that together form one or more businesses.
19.5 A business combination may be effected by the issue of equity instruments, the transfer of cash, cash equivalents or other assets, or a mixture of these. The transaction may be between the shareholders of the combining entities or between one entity and the shareholders of another entity. It may involve the establishment of a new entity to control the combining entities or net assets transferred, or the restructuring of one or more of the combining entities.
19.3.2 OmniPro comment
It is clear from the above guidance in Section 19.4 to 19.5 of FRS 102 that whatever the legal structure, if it meets the definition of a business combination it comes within the remit of Section 19.
Therefore where the goodwill and/or net assets of a business are purchased (i.e. not through the purchase of shares), although it does not create a subsidiary/parent relationship it should still be accounted for as a business combination.
An entity does not have to physically pay cash in order to come within the remit of section 19 which is made clear in Section 19.4 of FRS 102. Examples would include instances where the entity previously had a significant influence but as a result of a share buyback of main shareholders or a change of rights to the shares, the entity then becomes the controlling party, this is then accounted for as a business combination and accounted for under the purchase method.
In order for a business combination there must a acquirer and acquiree. Section 19.5.2 for further details.
